Messrs Moody, Jenkins and Hudson,
from whom Mr. Goodwin published
what purported to be statements, were
discharged from the Are department,
the chief said at the time "for the
food of the department.”
Soon after Mr. Wells was hurt he
was seen about town and at the fair
grounds. I wertt to him and stated
that if he was well enough to be about
town and at the fair grounds he ought
to report to the engine house, that he
might dome around und report, he
might answer the telephone, or do
nothing, but that he ought not to be
loafing around town In his uniform.
H** declined to do so and my Informa
tion from Mr. Wells was that he did
not want to be seen around the place
of duty because his attorney, Mr.
Thomas H. Goodwin, said It might hurt
his case for damages. Chl#f Joyner

that If Wells would stay around the en

pay roll, but If not under the rulings
of the hoard of * flremasters, I must
drop him, and this I did as an officer
of the department under what I co
sldered my duty.

EX-CITY FIREMEN RALLY
TO FIRE CHIEF JOYNER
Atlanta, Go.
To Whom It May Concern:
We, the undersigned ex-members of
the Atlanta Are department, having
heard that false statement** have been
made concerning the manner In which
contributions for the purpose of buying
Christmas presents for Chief and Mrs.
W. R. Joyner, take this method of
stating truthfully the exact manner In
which such subscriptions were gotten
up. It Is In simple Justice to Chief
and Mrs. Joyner and to ourselves that
we make the following statement, and
any statement to the contrary Is, to
our own knowledge, absolutely false.
During our connection with the de
partment It weh our pleasure to con
tribute each Christmas toward a fund
to be used for the purpose of buying a
Christmas present for Chief and Mrs.
Joyner. In each and every Instance the
present was selected by a committee
composed of ofAcers and privates from
the different companies, with Instruc
tions from the other members of their
companies to decide on a suitable pres,
ent, determine the cost of same and
report back their Andlngs to their com
pany. After the present had been se
lected the names of those who desired
voluntarily to subscribe to the fund
were obtained by the committee mem-
ber of each company and then their
proportionate per cent of the cost of
such present was ascertained and col
lected and the present paid for. In no
case was there any requirement made
or any coercion used to obtain any
subscription; and all subscriptions
were made absolutely voluntarily. It
Is also a fact that each year several
members of the department did not de
sire to contribute to the fund, and tlmlr
names were withheld, so as to avoid
them embarrassment. The above state
ment Is only a simple fact, and Is true
and any statement to the contrary Is
fnlse and untrue.

GEORGIA NAMES A TOWN

General Fred Funxton may be able
to prevent San Krancleco from naming

Georgia from calling a town In aoutb
Georgia "Funiton.”
Representative W. A. Covington got
a bill through the aexxlon Just closed
Incorporating the town of Funston In
his county. So far the famous little
Kansas fighter has not come forward
with any objections, but It Is possible
that he hns been so busy In San Fran

a Mr. Hunter and In sight of bln house.
Suddenly a negro appeared within a
few feet of the pair. He had slipped
noiselessly through the woods until he
was close upon them. He carried
stout stick.
"Come with me,” said the negro to
little Mabel Lawrence.
The girl quivered with fright, but
gathered strength to turn and try to
run. The negro struck her across the
head with his stick and seized her. As
his hands felt their way to her throat
the girl grasped her own throat and
broke .the force of the negro’s fingers.
She tore herself loose from her assail
ant and the older woman shouted to
her to run.
As the girl started to run the negro

man and they hurried back to the hill
side.
When the rescue party reached the

Miss Lawrence wss carried to the
Hunter home and given medical atten

she would survive the assault. Mabel
Lawrence was severely hurt. The ne
gro's club had cut a gash four Inches
Jong In her head and her body and
shoulders were blue and bleeding from
other blows.
The description given by Mabel Iwiw-

closely that of the negro who assaulted
Mrs. Georgia Hembree near Battle Hill
Inst Wednesday. The negro Is describ
ed as being dean shaven, glngercake
colored, of medium height, wearing
blue overalls and carrying a piece of
rope In his pocket.
Dogs Lose the Trail.
Khortly after noon, two dogs from
the county convict camp were sent to
the scene of the assault and Imme
diately picked up the track of the negro
brute. They followed the trail left by
the fleeing black for more than four
miles, and finally lost the track In a
cow pasture, where, owing to the lack
of rain In that neighborhood, the sand
hml blown over the track. According
to those who followed Immediately
upon the heels of the dogs, the negro
walked up creeks and tried many oth

his trail.

Miss Ethel Lawrence, one of the
young women assaulted, the aunt of
Mabel Lawrence, Is In this country on
a visit to her brother, W. C. I^awrence.

MRS. NILES’ IDENTITY
BECOMES AN ISSUE
Peculiar Mix-Up Causes Queer Situation in
Gubernatorial Campaign—Charges
and Countercharges.
Mrs. Margaret J. Hampton has ap
parently become an Important Issue In
the gubernatorial campaign.
The Constitution Monday morning
charged that Hoke Hmith In Ills Augus
ta speech attempted to mislead the
public as regards the Identity of Mrs.
Niles, sister of Mrs. Hampton, by read
ing the following telegram:
"Griffin, Ga., Aug. 17, 1906. '
"To Hon. .Hoke Kmlth, care Hon.

ness to our relative, Mrs. Mnrgnret .f.
Hampton, while she w&s In the em
ploy of the government census bureau.
"MRS. GEORGE R. NILES.”
The Constitution printed the follow
ing from Mrs. Clifford C. Niles, sister
of Mrs. Hampton:
”1 was amazed whan my daughter
culled my attention to the article In this
afternoon’s Journal regarding a tele-
gram from a Mrs. Niles, who claimed
to be a relative of Mrs. Hampton. It
Is evidently a dirty effort to confuse the
public aa to my attitude In regard to
the shameful treatment of my sister
by Hoke Smith.
"Mrs. George R. Niles, of Griffin, has
no kind of relationship or connection,
with Mrs. Margaret Hampton, who Is
my sister. Mrs. Niles knew her as a
girl, and that was all. 1 doubt if she i
has seen or heard from her In thirty
years. I know that no relatives of Mrs.
Hampton, who have followed the course
of this campaign of Hoke Smith, In
which he has endeavored so tnaliclluslv
to slander my sister, would vote for
him: and the effort to make It appear
so at this late hour shows their des
peration. They know that the expos

Is not here to defend herself against
this latest slander. Her living rela
tives are her brother, who Is at the
Soldiers' home, and myself, living h* re
with my daughter.
"MRS. CLIFFORD C. NILES.”
The following telegram from Griffin
Is also minted In the same article:
"Griffin, Go., Aug. 19.—Mrs. George
R. Niles, of Griffin,, whose alleged tele
gram Hoke Smith read with so much
gusto In regard to the Mrs. Hampton
matter, denies that she Is related to
Mrs. Hampton, and also denies that
she signed the said telegram, or au
thorized it to be signed. Mrs. Niles
expressed herself as hurt and shocked
that her name should have been used
In this manner. A lawyer, named Sam
Hewlett, of Atlanta, called on her and
asked for a wrltt-n expression along
the line of the alleged telegram, but
did not get It. Mrs. Niles, who Is one
of Griffin's most estimable and lovable
ladies, is indignant that her name
should have been so used without any
authority whatever.

Monday aftern'oon the following tele
gram came to The Georgian:
