Atlanta Iudepemlant Calls
for White Leadership
In Politics.
Th# Atlanta Independent, the negro
paper published In Atlanta, cornea out
In an editorial Saturday under the
head, "We are for White Leadership,
not 'Llly-Whltelam/ "
In It the author makes reference to
the attempts of certain Republican
leaders In Georgia to read the negro
out of the party. The most astounding
part of the editorial Is In the admis
sion that after forty yean of trial, the
negro finds himself less'potentlal than
when he first received the ballot.
The tone of this editorial Indicates
that there will be no friction In the
meeting of the Republican state cen
tral committee, when It convenes In
the senate chamber at the capltot next
Tue.day to make plans for the state
convention which will nominate
ticket. According to prominent local
Republicans there will be none but
white men on the ticket for any office.
Following la an extract from the edi
torial referred to:
"White leadership for the Republican
party In Georgia Is no new doctrine
with the Independent. IVhat the negro
wants In common with every patriotic
white man. Is an opposition party re
spectable niul constructive.
"The negro will moke no attempt
to Afrlcanlse the party: he will take
a back seat and allow the while man
to furnish the party candidates, control
the party machinery, and give him
even - other opportunity that does not
smack or his disfranchisement to make
good his boast of doing something tan
gible If placed In charge. Hut let ua
reserve unto ourselves Inviolable for
ever, the right to vote and have a
voice In the counsels of our party. So
far as the negro Is concerned we have
no desire to dominate anything. We
recognise the fnct that we have been
on trial forty years, and nt the end
of that time wc find ourselves less
potential In the politics of the state
than we were when enfranchised.

Washington, Aug. 25.—No official
notice of the contemplated spelling re
form In the government departments
has been received In Washington.
While several heads of the depart
ments are personally In favor of the
proposed change, others do not look
upon It with much favor In view of
the fact- that they believe It will oc
casion considerable confusion.
Secretary Shaw refused to discuss
the change for the reason that he has
not been officially notified. A. W. Mur
ray, acting secretary of commerce and
labor, also declined to say anything for
the same reason. Air. Murray was not
prepared to say Just what method
would obtain In the notifying the va
rious chiefs of the contemplated
change.
In the war, stale, and navy depart
ments. the news of the president's
phonetic spelling order was received
with Incredulity. Officials high and
low. refused to discuss the move openly
until Informed through the official
channels of the chief executive's order
on the subject. In their departments
more than In any other branches of
the government, the "no talk" rule pre
vails, and the officials will not discuss
new phases of affairs.
It Is In the department of state that
the new spelling would have far-
reaching effects. For instance, If
treaties and other communications be
tween the United States and England
should be embraced In the president's
order, the ’ English government might
well be perplexed by running against
the new mode of spelling as opposed
to the old-fashioned method.
Officials having charge of records at
the department of Interior nnd justice
staled at noon that they did not care
to express their opinion of the order
nnd Its efTect until they received some
official communication on the subject.
It will give the bad speller a
chance,” said one young man In the
file department, by wny of comment.

MAVOR OF ANNISTON
DISTURBS A SLUMBER
Special to The Georgian.
Anniston. Ala., Aug. 25.—When Alex
ander Comstock began hla tirade on
the nude In art In New York City, he
was subjected to severe criticism as a
prude, but there will likely be little
adverse criticism of Mayor Thomas E
Kilby, of Anniston, who, upon his re
turn from a vacation In North Caro
lina yesterday morning. Issued a ukase
that the city bill posters bring to an
abrupt end the peaceful slumbers of a
latter-day Sleeping Beauty, who has
graced the bill boards on a number of
the city thoroughfares for the past
week. The picture In question Is an
advertisement and represents a comely
maiden lying In slumber.

Iff
Widow and Daughter of
Well*Known Physician
Seek Almshouse.
Sick, penniless, weary and heart
broken, Mrs. Carrie Mapp and her
daughter. Miss Llssle Mapp, came to
the police headquarters at 10 o'clock
Friday night In search of a resting
place. They were given a bed in the
women'a ward of the station head
quarters.
Mrs. Mapp la 70 years old and
suffering from nervous prostration, and
her daughter, Miss Llssle, Is In an
even worse condition. Mrs. Mapp la
the widow of J. J. Mapp, who twenty
years ago, was one of the leading phy
sicians of Atlanta. After the death of
her husband misfortune fell to the lot
of the women and hoping that the
change would mean betterment, they
moved from this city to Augusta, but
misfortune followed them.
Informed by some relatives that ahe
could get a position as a teacher of
French In Bloomfield, Indian Territory,
Mrs. Mapp and her daughter parked
up their belongings, now scanty, and
made their way to the Indian Terri
tory. Here the mother stood the ex
amination and qualified as teacher of
a large French class. A week before
she was to have taken charge of the
class she received a. note saying that
her services as a teacher would not
be needed, aa she was a believer In the
Roman Catholic faith. ,
Mrs. Mapp says she stayed in Bloom
field with her relatives until two weeks
ago, when her health began to break,
and she became seriously 111. The two
women arrived here with 12 between
them and as they got ort the train a
telegram was handed Mrs. Mapp, stat
ing that the relatives were no longer
In August*.
After a consultation the two Mapp
women decided to' Invest the 32 In
hiring a cab to the alms house, but on
arriving there they were told that they
could not be accepted, as they had not
come from this state. As a last re
sort they came to the police headquar
ters, where they are being taken care
of In the best manner possible.
Miss Sanderson, the Junfj-nn of the
women's ward, is taking steps for tho
relief of the two deserving women.
