■—7 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN- (Communicated). CHIEF JOYNER BRANDS AS FALSE CHARGES OF THOMAS H. GOODWIN Replies to Insinuations and innuendos of His Opponent, THEBE IS NO FOUNDATION FOB SHAMEFUL CHARGES GOODWIN CAMPAIGN FAKE EXPOSED BY ED. ANDERSON *ard of Edgar Anderson Exposes a a Charge Exploited by Goodwin In His Speeches—Chief Joyner’B Record In Atlanta. August 18, 1906. To the Voters of Atlanta: I have Just returned home from my vacation, and learn that Tom Goodwin, candi date for mp.yor, has made the follow ing statement in several of his speeches: "You remember when jhe Georgia Railway and Electric Company went to Marietta, Ed Anderson was foreman at No. 7 engine house, he tiled an injunction against them to keep them from going through his place, without paying him $750. That is a court record. Now, gentlemen, Ed Anderson received a letter. The letter came out one Sunday to the West End engine house, saying that his services as foreman would not be needed any longer. What happened? There was correspondence. Ed Ander son went up to headquarters and said, fo the People of Atlanta: I had hoped that the bitterness of the fubernatorial campaign would give sensation enough to lovers of that sort of thing without an injection of It Into the race for mayor. But my opponent seems to have caught the Infection, and has filled the public ear with so many misrepresentations of me—so many charges utterly without foundation, and fin many petty insinuations, which he knows are based only on his own vi cious Imagination and desire to get into on Important public office, not on his own merit, but on the passion and prejudices he hopes to inspire against me, that I feel it Is due myself, my friends and the whole city of Atlanta, to make vigorous and emphatic denial of his charges, and so I can do, for they me utterly untrue and without founda tion. I had hoped that my long life here as a citizen and an officer would save me from the foul mouth of slander. I had hoped that my continual indorsement Hnd re-election as head of one of your most Important departments through more than a quarter of a century would be a guaranty against malicious charges of graft. I had hoped that my dealing with hundreds of honorable and faithful men In the fire department would be proof againHt false attacks charging me with favoritism and almost despotism; I had hoped that a long life In the public gaze, coming Into contact with every business Interest in Atlanta, would pro tect a man from. insinuations that he reeks an honorable position to sell out the Interests of his people to a “soul- less corporation." But vile and base- b ss attacks have been made, and I here end now denounce them. It has been said that if there was to tome another flood and another Noah was to build another ark, there are some people who would refuse to get on board unless they could get upper berths. And It has been said that there are many people who will believe any thing about anybody. Even without proof, even without reasonable suspi cion, there are some ready always to condemn and ready to applaud misrep resentation and Blunder. I know that nearly all the people In Atlanta are fair-minded, nearly all are generous, nearly all patriotic, nearly all despise misrepresentation, nearly fill abhor demagogues,-and all are -tired -of the mud-siinging Jn -politics my oppo nent has injected into thl$ campaign. Makes Firm, Absolute Denial. But I want to deal briefly with the charges made against me. I make my denial as Arm, as absolute and as un qualified as I can And language to ex press Jt. Mr. Goodwin goes on to describe the Georgia Railway and Electric Company uh a monopoly, as an oppressor of the people, as a grafter, and as everything else he can conceive of worthy of ab horrence and attack. He then goes on to describe himself within the lines of purity and perfection, and then pro ceeds to Insinuate that somehow or other I would be In favor of the mo nopoly und of all the things he charges it with. I am not In any way Interested, di rectly or indirectly, Jn the company re ferred to. I have no stock in it, no In terest In It. I am not bound to it In any way. I am as Independent of It as any inan in Atlanta. I believe I am more Independent of it than Mr. Good win. It I am elected mayor all the inter ests of Atlanta, whether they are cor porate or individual, shall have a fair showing and fair treatment. No corporation in Atlanta and no In dividual shall receive at my hands any favor or, privilege that they are not fairly entitled to. Every* corporation In Atlanta, so far as I can control It, will be forced to treat the people fairly, and shall be pre vented from discriminating between any sections of the city or between any classes of people. To claim that he can do more than this is as absurd as Mr. Goodwin's claim of superior excellence over ordi nary people. Untrsmmeled and Unbiased. If elected I go Into the offlee of may- 'I will withdraw the injunction.' What resulted? He was put back on at $75, and is still a foreman. I will give you that for what it is worth." There is not a word of truth in the statement that I ever filed an injunc tion or any other kind of a suit against the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany. I never demanded $750. There Is no court record. There wai no cor respondence about the matter, and L never agreed to withdraw any injunc tion, as none was filed. I met Tom Goodwin on the street, and told him It was not true, and he said it was a political scheme, but that he would not use It again. I am In formed that he has not used it since, showing that he knew it was false when he said It. E. R. ANDERSON. Hoseman No. 5 Engine House. or utterly untrammeled of any bias, or prejudice or obligation to any corpora tion or business Interest in the city. I do not know that the Georgia Rail way and Electric Company desire to buy the waterworks; but I do know that I am, and will be,.opposed to the sale of them, Mr. Goodwin’s Insinuation to the contrary notwithstanding. Nor am I committed in any way on the subject of a gas franchise, and shall stand ready, if elected, to.deal fairly as between all those who have rights and those who wish to secure them. The Insinuation of Mr. Goodwin that he was a saint and that I was a sinner, with respect to the holding of the last fair. Is in keeping with his other accu sations. His Insinuation that I am In favor of gambling Is utterly without foundation, and Is made with the Idea of impressing people unfavorably against me. It is known to the people that at the time of the last state fair various con tracts had been let and premiums of fered, based upon an estimate of re ceipts from horse racing, and at the time thin question came up It looked as though the adoption of an ordinance by the city would break up the fair, and such was the opinion of as good men as there are In the city of Atlanta. I gave my honest opinion on the sub ject, and to say that by the giving of It I Intended to favor gambling and rob the young men of the city and the peo ple of the city of a large amount of money Is not only untrue, but utterly unworthy of a man who desires to pre sent the truth of an issue for public consideration. Tho Cobb County Farm. My wife and I aro natives of Cobb county, Georgia, and I own a little,farm there. It has been more of a recreation than a profit, and among the people who have enjoyed it are sick firemen. No fireman ever went there who did not want to go. No fireman ever struck a lick of work there at the city's ex pense. No fireman ever did anything there except of his own free will. When the men got sick and needed a rest out of town I let them have the use of my place, and they stayed there generally at my expense, never at tho expense of the city. No man who ever worked any on the farm can truthfully say that ho was working at my dictation or command. To twist this situation Into one of com pulsion and of graft on the city, with the knowledge that Mr. Goodwin must have of It, can be little short of mali cious. As against his version of it, there are scores of men who know to the contrary. That the firemen of Atlanta have been made to do menial service for me, that they have been treated as serv ants or anything approaching or ap proximating It, are slanders utterly without foundation, and my record for over a quarter of a century In the fire department, the love and good will of the men who compose It, and the at titude of those who ore now In it and out of it, give the lie to all such accu sations. Of course, I have had to be strict in discipline and exacting In the lines of duty, and I have made some enemies of men who have been connected with the fire department. My present oppo nent Is one of them. There are some things In the line of progress that ought to be done. Atlanta ought to have a baseball team, at least a ma jority of our people have appeared to think so. Atlanta ought to have a drum corps—the city government has appeared to think so—and to aid these things I have taken a part in the one and organized the other, and the first words of condemnation I have heard on account of either come from the man who desires to beat me for the of fice of mayor and to use these things ns Instrumentalities.. I do not believe that our people have any censure for me for using some spare time In furthering the city’s de sire to have a baseball club. I do not believe there are any people in Atlanta who desire to abolish the drum corps, Goodwin's Political Trick. Mr. Goodwin has no greater desire to ROUND TRIP Summer and Convention Rates. Round trip summer excursions from all points East to Pacific Coast and Northwest, from June 1 to September 15th, with special stop-over privileges, good returning to October 31st, 1906.

WRITE ME FOR LITERATURE MID INFORMATIPH. J. F. VAN RENSSELAER, General Agt., 124 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Ga. G. W. ELY, T. P. A. advance the pay of the fire department than I, and whenever I believe that can be done, I shall advocate It as readily as he. It is easy enough for a man with the political bee In his bonnet to be taking time by the forelock and in troducing resolutions which he knows cannot pass and then In the future claim credit-for efforts which would make him popular. In one of his speeches he even went so tar as to denounce me for giving n .barbecue. In other words, he seeks to make capital out of the fact that’T have given barbecues and taken newspaper men to them. I ifumber among my friends all classes of people, among them the newspaper folks. Mr. Goodwin has gone so far as to charge me with having ownership In a printing office and seeks to array print ers in the city against me. He knows that I have many friends among the printers and publishers of the city and he could know without difficulty that his charge that I have an interest in a printing office Is without truth. 1 do not mean to say that It Is anything against a man to have an interest in a printing office, what I mean to say Is that Mr. Goodwin goes out of his way to charge that I have an interest In a non-union office and to seek to array union printers against me, when, if he had asked Mr. Bean about It, he would have known that hls accusation was untrue. .1 will not weary the public to reply to all the petty flings and Insinuations Mr. Goodwin has made against me. He has traveled In hls range of imagina tion from the alleged influence on me of a soulless corporation down to the burial of a little pet goat, and all hls charges and insinuations that import prejudice, bias, i Influence or graft, against me are utterly without founda tion or truth. In one of hls speeches this man went » far as to say: “If he (meaning me) ain’t run by the Georgia Railway and Electric Company, why don't he come out and deny It." In this paper I have denied it. I brand the insinuation as absolutely false. I am not run by any body, and do not propose to be run by anybody or anything. Goodwin Kept His Past. Speaking of the Georgia, Railway and Electric Company, I am Informed that Mr. Goodwin on the day before hls last Retirement from office, sought from this company a book of free tickets, in oth er words, he received favors from them when Jn office. He sought favors from them when about to retire, and he went out of of fice with a book of passes from this corporation In hls pocket for future use. I would not have used this except for the outrageous Insinuation made In one of hls public speeches. I do not deem It necessary to further trouble the people with the shameful and senseless and unfounded vapor- Ings of Mr. Goodwin. I might have passed him by with a reference to the card of Mr. Anderson, who effectually disposes of hls charge. I am fully per suaded when the people learn how ut terly untrue are Mr. Goodwln’i charges which Involve matters specially within Mr. Anderson’s knowledge the;' will bo well prepared not to credit* or be Influenced by anything he may say against me. Nearly my whole life has been spent In Atlanta, the voice and vigor of my youth, young manhood, and maturer years, have been devoted to her. I Have many a time risked my life in her service. I have been paid a good salary by her generous citizens in their corpo rate capacity. I have earned every dollar and every cent of It. Dsvottd to Atlanta. I am devoted to this city. I love Its history, part of which I nave helped to make. I shall continue to love it, and when the time comes, as it must before many years, for me to leave Its public service, I shall retire with all the love and reverence and patriotic hope of Its future greatness that can move an earnest arm or inspire a loyal heart. In my devotion to the city, to Its women and children, to Its personal and business citizenship, I yield to none. It would be a poor reward to good citizenship, to faithful discharge of du ty, to work and love for one’s home, and friends, If after a reasonably long life among my people my standing and even my Integrity can be besmirched by the unsupported charges of a rival candidate who, not content with unduly EACH OTHER'S ROLE i They Deny Operating “Matrimonial Bureau,” However. By Private Leased wire. New York, Aug. 20.—Evidence tend ing to ehow that Mre. Blna F. Ver- rault and Mre. Ixells Brown, the “mat. rlmonlal bureau” promoter*, often ex changed roles, and that ardent suitors who thought they were addressing Mr*. Verrault were In reality pouring forth their words of love to Mrs. Brown, wag placed In the hands of detectives work, lng on the case.today. When Mrs. Brown was told the re port that the women had played dual roles, she denied It and Incidentally she denied that she had been the head of the “matrimonial bureau." “It's too warm to talk about such things. That's not even worth while. A great deal of lying has been done. What If I did have gentlemen calling upon me? That doesn't say I was running a syndicate to fleece them. To hear them tell about it, there were actors, artists and all sorts of people In these awful schemes; rot, all of It. “Mrs. Verrault, who Is credited with havlrig been my partner, Is not wor rying; neither am I. Has any one made a complaint against me? No, well, there won't be anybody to do so, either, because there'* nothing to com- plain of. This Is the last I am going to have to say about It." The Brown-Verruult mansion, where eultors were received. In which spirit- uallstlc seances were held and a gam bling layout maintained, Is being close ly guarded by secret service men and the women will not be permitted to leave the country. George Gordon Miller, their attorney, says they have no intention of leaving, and then added: "Those complainants are fortune- hunters. When they appear on the wit ness stand they will give a most pitia ble exhibition of themselves, and the trial will be a veritable farce. They w’lll have to answer questions, and every answer will reveal laughable traits of character and show their In tention in seeking to marry a harm less, helpless woman for her money. “The sentiments which they express ed on love were all trumped up, and I assure you my client will be freed without putting up any defense what ever. The stories of the complainants will be sufficient to show that an at tempt was made to Impose on her." SEVEN MEN DIE THOMAS H. GOODWIN PROVES CHARGES AGAINST W. R.

Ala., Aug. 20.—Two white men, brothers, named Hudgins, living near Jacksonville, are under ar rest here, and a negro named John Walker lies at hls home seriously wounded as the result of a shooting af fray at 7 o'clock Saturday night In this city. Hanford Hudgins, under arrest, claims that he did the shooting be cause the negro "cussed" him. He had a revolver under hls coat when ar rested.

Jefferson, Pa., Aug. 20.—Seven per sons were killed and seven seriously Injured yesterday when a fast Penn sylvania freight train, rushing along at the rate of about 4S miles an hour In a blinding rain storm, crashed Into work train at Sang Hollow. The work train had stopped to take on water and the engineer of the freight, which was following, failed to see the train through the heavy down pour of rain. Nearly all of those killed were asleep when the crash came. The moat appalling scenes followed the wreck. Fire added to the horror, and many of the Injured were found hanging out of windows pleading to be saved. Dead bodies were strewn about the ground. Engineer E. N. Wood Is said to have Increased the speed of hls train Just before the crash, lu order to take on water from the pans along the track. The wreck Is being Investigated to fix the blame. SOCIALISTS TO HOLD MEETEGSON STREETS Though Denied Privilege by May or, Say Meetings Will Be Held Anyway. I HAVE CHARGED THAT JOYNER IS SUBSERVIENT TO THE WISHES OF THE GEORGIA RAILWAY AND ELECTRIC COMPANY. This he half-hearteillr denies. I ask you to look at hls affiliations, and he your' own JnQge. The Georgia Hallway nnd Electric Company owus the Atlanta baseball club. Chief Joyner Is the president of that enterprlae. In connection with thla affiliation, I am publlnhlaff a statement from Mr. Wells, who says that when he was Injured fu a wreck between a street car and one of the£re engines, he was told by Joyner that he had no case against the company, when ho well knew that It was the negligence of the company that caused the wreck. Ills statement speaks for Itself: - A I LAN I A, uili, Aug. 130b. THU ia to certify that t served in tha fire department for twenty years under Chief Joy nsr without a charge against me. I was knocked off a fir* engine by a street car in Jul] ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 13.1906. 1 twenty years under Chief Joy ----- . -j off a fir* enqine by a street car in July, 1903, and disabled for life. Chief Joyner asked me for my resignation, aaying if I did not ro- aign ha would discharge me. I resigned. I Had borrowed some money from tho Fireman's Real Estate and Inveetmant Company, of which Chief Joyner waa president. Chief Joynar had my benevolent fund which was due me from the Firemen's Benevolent Aeeociation gar nisheed j also one hundred ($100) dollars or more due ms from the Aetna Accident Insur ance Company, thereby taking from mo tho last roaourcaa of aupport for my wife and aev- oral little children. Chief Joyner know my condition. Chief Joyner tried to make ms be lieve that I had no case for damages against tha street oar company. (8ignad.) J. W. WELL8. In conneotlon with the statement of Mr, Welle, it wilt be interesting to know that the street railway company paid the city of Atlanta tha aum of $2,500 for damage! to the an gina on whlon Mr, Welle was Injured. . —... WHY THE G. R. & E. COMPANY WANT JOYNER ELECTED. Eret tines the establishment of the Georgia Hallway and Electric Compnny they have sought to control the affairs of this municipality. They own the gas plant, and know that the franchise * has expired, and that they will want to get it renewed. I HAVE COME OUT OPENLY IN FAVOR OF THE CITY OWNING ITS GAS PLANT. The franchise. In question. Is worth 12,000,000 to the city of Atlnnta, It they will take advantage of It nnd establish a plant of Its own. I shall advocate this policy and do all In my power to put It through. JOYNER HAS NOT OPENED HIS MOUTH ON THIS SUB JECT AND WILL NOT. Will the Totera of Atlanta ait by and see $2,000,000 of their money go Into the coffers of ths atreet railway trust, or will they protect tholr rights and Tote to sare this enormous sum by electing a mayor who will defend them from such a loss? Docs the action of W. 11. Joyner argue to you that he wilt be ready to light this measure when It la put to a test? ANSWER ON THE Z2D. I HAVE CHARGED THAT JOYNER IS ALLIED WITH THE GAMBLING ELEMENT OF THE CITY. To support this charge, I refer you to hls record on the fight to suspend the ordinance and allow pool* on horse racing at the last atate fair. Thla record ahows that he headed the gang of gamblers who desire to rob the young men of their money, and that I fought the mess- ’ ure, almost single-handed, until tho good peopio of the town came to my assistance and helped me to atamp out tho gambler's scheme.' THOMAS H. GOODWIN, Candidate for Mayor. Though Mayor Woodward has denied the Socialists the privilege of holding public meetings on the atreeta of At lanta. members of that party announce that they will hold such meetings on Marietta street, between Peachtree and Broad, evenings beginning Tuesday night at 7:30 and continuing until 1(1 o'clock. Monday morning a committee of So dallets; composed of William E. Elsasser, Paul Handley and J. A. Stre- cham, presented a petition to the may or and Chairman Terry, of the police commissioners, asking the privilege of holding such meetings. In the petition they quote the constitution of Georgia, which provides that "no law shall ever be passed to curtail or restrain the liberty of speech." Mayor Woodward denied the pell tlon because there Is a city ordinance against such meetings. The committee announce that they will have the meet- Inge anyway, and that there will be good speakers on hand. It la presumed that J. B. Osborne, the blind Socialist candidate for governor, will be one of the speakers. Monday morning Secretary of State Phil Cook received a communication from the Socialists giving a list of their candidates, and asking that the ticket be given the same rights and privileges as others In the returns.

DIVINE DENOUNCES RECENT LYNCHINGS Special to The Georgian. Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 20.—In a rath er startling sermon on "Lynching,” de livered at Trinity Methodist Church Sunday morning. Rev. Plato Durham the pastor, spoke In fqvor of using the rifle to protect the dignity of the law from the unholy hands of the mob, and said that It would be better that a few people should die than that respect for law should die. Referring to the Salisbury lynching of thres negroes and the statement from United States Senator Overman that the Rowan Rifles, a military com pany, did not Are on the mob because they were not willing to sacrifice the lives of white men for the sake of ne groes, the preacher said that It waa a very poor conception of the duty of a sheriff. If he thought It was a question of white or blacks being killed, and did not realise the fact that he stood as sheriff between the dignity of the law end Its being insulted, and not. merely between the mob and- the negroes. Such an officer or any of ficer who has such an opinion of law Is not worthy of hls office, said the preacher. Confesses Burglarise. Speclnl to The Georgias.
