Soon after Mr. Wells was hurt he

that If he was well enough to be about

EX-CITY FIREMEN RALLY
TO FIRE CHIEF JOYNER
Atlanta. Ga.
To Whom It May Concern:
We, the undersigned ex-members of
the Atlanta Are department, having
heard that false statements have been
made concerning the manner in which
Contributions for the purpose of buying
Christmas presents for Chief and Mrs.
W. Ft. 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 was 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 officers 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 findings to their com
pany. After the present had been se
lected the names of those tyho 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
care 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 teach year several
members of the department did not de
sire to contribute to the fund, and their
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
false and untrue.

GEORGIA-NAMES A TOWN
FOR GEN. FRED FUNSTON
General Fred > Funstcn may be able
to prevent San Franclaco from naming
a street for him, but ho can't stop
Georgia from calling n town In south
Georgia "Funston."
Representative \V. A. Covington got
a bill through the session Just closed
Incorporating the town of Funston In
III* county. So far the famous little
Kansas tighter has not come forward
with any -objections, but. It Is possible
that he has;Seen to busy In San Fran

FEELING IS INTENSE
AGAINST ASSAILANT
Of LITTLEJ000 GIRL
Hundi’eds of Citizens Gath
er At Court House To
Hear Trial.
Special to The Georgian.
Cleveland, Ga., Aug. 20.—Bob Moore,
the negro brute who committed an' as
sault on last Friday on the 7-year-old
daughter of J. C. Hood, former tax col
lector of this county, was put on trial
for hls life today. The greatest ex
citement prevails nnd hundreds of peo
pie are here from ail parts of the coun
try but the Indications are that the
ojtlzens will allow' the law to take Its
course. The officers slipped the negro
away to Gainesville Saturday night for
fear of hls being lynched.
Judge Klmsey made a speech to the
citizens and begged them to allow' the
law to take Its course, promising to
call a special term of the court on Mon
day.
The evidence shows a horrible crime
and the feeling Is intense.
His Condition Grew Very
Much More Serious
Sunday.
I)r. Hunter P. Cooper, who has been
very til at hls home on Peachtree
street following an ntack of ptomaine
poisoning, was taken very much worse
Sunday afternoon and Monday was re
ported to be in a very low sta^. He is
delirious a part of the time. Monday
afternoon It was stated that he was
very 111, though a little quieter thun he
lmd been.
He has many of the symptoms of
meningitis, but the cose has not j'et
been so pronounced definitely. He Is
being ntended by several of the most
prominent physicians of Atlanta.
whose duty It was to enforce It. This
confusion has now* been remedied and
the law Is in process of thorough en
forcement. If this enforcement demon
strates the need of additional legisla
tion to make this eight hour law ef
fective, I shall asl; for such legislation.
"We favor the organisation of labor
as we' favor the organization of capi
tal; 1 but on condition that organized
labor and organized capital alike act
In a spirit of Justice and fair dealing
and with due regard to both the letter
and the spirit of the law.' We are anx
ious to help, alike by law* and by exec
utive action, so far as In our po^er
lies, every honest man. every right-
dealing labor union, nnd, for the mat
ter of that, every right-dealing corpor
ation; but, the fact that we heartily
recognize an organization as useful will
not prevent our taking action to con
trol it or to prevent its committing
abuses.
Stands Pat on Tariff.
Removing the tax on alcohol used
In tho nrtes shows the entire willing
ness of the present congress to alter
our revenue system, whether derived
by taxation on Imports or Internal tax
ation, w henever It Is necessary so to do.
We stand unequivocally for a protect
Ive tariff and we feel that the phenom
ennl Industrial prosperity which we are
now' enjoying Is not lightly to be Jeop
Ked.
tut w'henever a given rate or sched
ule becomes evidently disadvantageous
to the nation, and where It Is feasible
to change this rate or schedule with
out too much dislocation of the sys
tem, It will be done, while a general
revision of He rates nnd schedules will
be undertaken whenever it shall ap
pear to the sober business sense of our
people that on the whole the benefits to
be derived from making such change#
will outweigh the disadvantage*.
Let me add one word of caution,
however. The question of revising the
tariff stands wholly apart from the
question of dealing with so-called
trusts. The only way In which It Is
possible to deal with these trusts and
this great corporate wealth Is by ac
tion along the line of the Jaws enact
ed by the present congress and Its Im
mediate predecessors. The cry that
the problem ran be met by any changes
In the tariff represents, whether con
sciously or unconsciously, an effort to
divert public attention 'rom the only
method of taking effective action."

MOTORMAN MAY DIE
men, aunt and niece, went to a wood
land about half a mile from tln%r home,
but a short distance flrom the-home of
a Mr. Hunter and In sight of hls 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 a
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 hls stick and seized her. As
hls 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 trom her assail
ant nnd the older woman shouted to
hen to run.
As the girl started to run the negro
Jumped In front of her and struck her
another blow which slightly stunned
her. She fell to the ground, crying
"I’m dead."
Little Girl Runs.
The negro then turned and started
toward Miss Ethel Lawrence, the elder
woman. Mabel succeeded In rising to
her feet and ran to the Hunter home,
but a short distance away. Here she
gave the alarm nnd told her story. She
was joined by Mr. Hunter and another
man and they hurried back to the hill
side.
When the rescue party reached the
scene they found MIhh Ethel Lawrence
lying unconscious In the grass. Both
her arms were brokgj and her body
and clothing bore marks of a fearful
struggle. The negro had disappeared
through the woods and It W'ns Impossi
ble to learn which direction he took.
May Die from Assault.
Miss Lawrence was carried to the
Hunter home and given medical atten
tion. Later In the day she was sent to
the Wesley Memorial Hospital. Phy
sicians were doubtful whether or not
she would survive the assault. Mabel
Lawrence was severely hurt. The ne
gro's club had cut a gash four Inches
long In her head anil her body and
shoulders were blue and bleeding from
other blows.
The description given by Mabel Law-
rence of her black assailant follows
closely that of the negro who assaulted
Airs. Georgia Hembree near Battle Hill
last Wednesday. The negro Is describ
ed as being clean shaven, glngercake
colored, of medium height, wearing
blue overalls nnd carrying a piece of
rope in Ills pocket.
Dogs Los 8 the Trail.
Shortly 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, nnd finally lost the* track In a
cow pasture, where, owing to the lack
of rain In that neighborhood, the sand
had blown over the track. According
to those who followed Immediately
upon tho heels of the dogs, the negro
walked up creeks nnd tried many oth
er tricks to throw the bloodhounds off
hls trail.
Mias Lawrence From England.
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. Lawrence.
Miss Lawrence is a native of England,
coming from a prominent London fam
ily. Miss I^awrence’s condition Is pre
carious and she has never regained
consciousness since she was attacked.
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 I{pkc Smith In hls 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 Smith, care Hon.
Bowdre Phlnlzy, Augusta, Ga.: Mrs.
George R. Niles tender* you her sym
pa thy In your race for governor and
assures you of the support of her en
tire family and relatives /or your kind
ness to our relative, Mrs. Margaret J.
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:
"I was amazed when my daughter
called 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 contdse the
public as 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. I doubt if she
has seen id* 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 mallcllusly
to slander my sister, would vote for
him; nnd the effort to make It appear
so at this late hour shows their des
peration. They know that the expos
ure of hls treatment of her, which was
I outrageous, has seriously Injured his
campaign, and this is simply an under
hand effort to counteract this influence
at the last moment. I old not wish to
get mixed up In politics, but my sister
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 here
with my daughter.
"MRS. CLIFFORD C. NILES."
The following telegram from Griffin
Is also printed In the same article:
"Griffin, Ga., 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, dentes that she Is related to
Mrs. Hampton, and also defiles 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 writ* ’ expression along
the line of the i. ged telegram, byt
did not get^lt. Mrs. Niles, who is one
of Griffin’s most estimable and lovable
ladles, Is Indignant that her name
should have been so used without any
authority whatever.
"JOSEPH D. BOYD."
Monday afternoon the following tele
gram came to The Georgian:
’Griffin, Ga., Aug. 20, 1906.—Geor

stitution and Macon Telegraph unau
