TWELVE NEW COPS

Special Cable—Copyright.'
Havana, Cuba, Aug. 29.—Both rebel
and government force* seem to be
making time, and beyond raids by
small parties of rebels there are few
developments. The government pro
fesses to believe that Guerra is now
the only insurgent chief in the field
who is dangerous.
I am informed that it is the purpose
of the government to wait for a few
days until the effect of*the amnesty
proclamation may be fully felt, and
then undertake a general forward
movement for the purpose of await
ing Guerra,, and thus ending the revo
lution.
One of the revolutionary leaders has
revealed, It Is said, that the rebels pur
pose to remain quiet until all the avail
able. forces have been sent agulnst
Guerra. Then, It is asserted, Guzman,
who commands in Santa Clara, and
General Asbert. with his forces in
Havana province, will move up and
the government forces will be bottled
up between them.
The town of Cabanas, near the Uni
ted States naval station, was seized
yesterday by a band of 200 rebels un
der Campos Marquettl, the negro con
gressman. Two other towns were raid
ed by rebels. They were Crucos in
Santa Clara and Consolacion in Pinar
del Rio.
The importance of the capture of
Cabanas is that it is a port and while
Trial of Patrolmen Jones
Postponed Until
Tkursdav.
Twelve men were added to the police
department tit a meeting of the police
board “Tuesday night. The trial of Pa
trolman GeoVge C. Jones was deferred
until Tuesday night.
But five members of the board were
present, Chairman Terry and Commls
sloners English, Oldknow, Woodslde,
and Brandon. Mayor Woodward and
Commissioners Venable and Nunnally
were the absentees.
Chief Jennings submitted a recom
mendation that at least forty addition
al men be employed on account of the
recent reign of lawlessness in the
county and the fact that the strength
ening of the county police force would
drive the negroes into the city limits.
He called attention also to the fact
that not enough men were on duty at
the station house to respond to a riot
call.
The board ordered the chief to ap
point twelve additional men, the ap
pointments to be subject to the approv
al of the board. Two former police
men,, C. E. Fogg, and C. E. Doyal, were
named by the two commissioners and
will be appointed. Chief Jennings has
not appointed the remaining ten mem

Deserting Guerra.
It Is stated today that there have
been many desertions from the forces
of Guerra In Pinar Del Rio. Lack of
food and the hopelessness of the rebel
lion is given as the cause. The de
fenses of the city of Pinar Del Rio
are now said to be Impregnable to any
force Guerra can possibly bring against
them.

Sketch of His Life.
W. R. Dlmmock was born In the little
village of Hayestown, England, August
11, 1852. When two years old he was
brought to America, the family flrat
coming to .Atlanta, then settling a t
Conyers. As a boy, he attended school
In Conyers, coming to Atlanta when 15
years old and entering the Winship
machine shops, where he worked for a
number of years. His education wai
completed at night school.
After giving up his work as a me
chanic, Mr. Dlmmock became a fruit
and vegetable commission merchant
He was the senior member of the
Dlmmock & Wallace Commission
House, at No. 1 South Broad street,
for many years.
He first entered politics In the early
90>, when he was elected to the city
council. Later he was elected an al
derman and served aa mayor pro tem.
Seven years ago Mr. Dlmmock was
made secretary of the water board
and has since given up his time to that
ork.
Mr. Dlmmock married Mrs. Fanny A.
Kerby, of this city, during the year
1887.
Throughout his life Mr. Dlmmock had
been a worker In the Methodist church
and for the last 25 or more years well
known In fraternity circles. At the
time of his death he was a steward
In the Grace Methodist church, of
which he has been a member for man?
years.
Aside from being one of the oldest
members of Gate City Lodge No. 2. Free
and Accepted Order of Masons, Mr.
Dlmmock was a charter member of
Klbla Temple, Dramatic Order of
Knights of Khornssan. and one of its
most enthusiastic members. A delega
tion from this chapter will be in at
tendance at the funeral.
Military Record.
Mr. Dlmmock was, in point of ser
vice. one of the oldest members of the
state militia. He joined the militia In
1873. His first service was in the Gov
ernor’s Guard Infantry. When this or
ganization was disbanded he became a
member of the Governors’ Horse Guard,
Troop 1, First regiment cavalry, N. G.
of Georgia. Three months ago he was
presented by the state with a medal
for the length and faithfulness of his
services. On August 4 of this year he
successfully stood the examination and
was commissioned a second lieutenant
in the Horse Guard. Although the
strain of studying for these examina
tions Is claimed by some to have
brought on the fatal malady, it Is also
believed that a stroke of apoplexy he
sustained two years ago had much to
do with the death.
Because of Mr. Dlmmock’s long ser
vice to the city of Atlanta, Mayor Pro
Tem. Harwell has issued orders that
the city hall »be closed at 3 o’clock
Thursday afternoon. The flag will re*
main at half mast throughout the day

of home-grown Nebraskan enthusiasm.
“We'll See Him First."
The Nebraskans say:

his own neighbors? Just 'let us see
him first, and William Jennings Bryan
won’t be the same sort of a man h£
used to be if he drops us and goes over
to these other chaps.”
“These other chaps” are the Demo

Bryan, who will form the welcoming
delegation on board the steam yacht

JOY O VERGE TTING FOR TUNE
ENDS LIFE OF POOR WIDOW
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, Aug. 29.—That Mrs. Cora
L. Williams died of heart disease
brought on by excessive Joy, due to
the fact that she was about to come
Into the possession of $1,000,000, was
the finding today at a coroner’s investi
gation Into her death.
Dr. Coral Lafayette Williams, the
husband of Mrs. Williams, died six
years ago while developing some mines
near Albuquerque. His body was
robbed of considerable money, besides
mlnln* stocks, and the widow was Im
poverished.
C. B. Crosby, an old friend of her
husband, learned of her whereabouts
and he set about to develop the Albu
querque mining property. He was very
successful, ana got a sum which net
ted Mrs.. Williams $1,000/00. She was
to have received this, but while wait
ing to go down town after the money
•he expired.
Marion Smith Improving.
Marion Smith, son of Hon. Hoke
Smith, who was operated on Morffiay
for appendicitis Is reported as improv
ing rapidly. No compllcationa have
arisen, and the wound la healing nicely.
The physicians anticipate no severe
consequence from the operation, and
believe the patient will be out in a
very short time.

DO ADVERTISERS STOP TO THINK
—that in addition to quantity of circulation, esteem
and confidence cut some ice—QUALITY is a big
item, but The Georgian seems to have it going and
coming—good people read The Georgian, and they
call The Georgian GOOD.
THE BEST SOUTHERN PAPER.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
The general impression throughout the state upon the best class
of people, the conservative and substantial citizens, is that The
Georgian is the best paper published in the South.
It has been generally understood th'at it is a elenn paper;
that no fake patent medicine advertisements; no thriving “get-
rich” schemes will be held before its renders in full page display,
carrying a stamp of approval by virtue of the quality or reputa-
tfon’of the journal containing the advertisement; "Iso that no
whiskv advertisements appear in The Georgian.
And that The Georgian has adopted or rather began on a
policy advocated by so mnny of the leuding magazines, to let
nothing appear within its columns but reliable and honest ad*
vertisements exploiting square deals only.
An advertiiement in The Georgian carries a stamp or merit,
which increases its value to the advertiser, and no paper can lose
in the long run by such a fair dealing policy. . .
Reliable advertisers are rapidly learning that it is detrimen-
tal to their advertisement to appear on the same page or in the
same paper with fakes and notorious skin game notices. They
are withdrawing their patronage and look suspiciously upon
such papers, and are ever seeking a better and more trustwor
thy medium. lV K - b -

"REIGN OF TERROR" EDITORIAL
SOUGHT BY CAROLINA CITIZENS.
Special to The Georgian.
Salisbury, X. C., Aug. 28.—The Georgian’s great editorial
leader of Thursday has been generally read here and much dis
cussed. The Evening Post reproduced it Saturday, with indorse
ment of its sentiment. When it became known that the paper
had spoken through its editor upon the "Reign of Terror” there
was a demand for far in excess of the supply. It was discussed
in connection with local conditions.
"BEST PAPER IN THE SOUTH."
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Although I am a total stranger to you, I write this ns a young
man and a citizen of Georgia to express my appreciation of your
newspaper, The Georgian. >
In my humble opinion, the editorial page of The Georgian is
the best in the South, and for genuine merit not surpassed by any
such section of any paper in the whole country. All the rest of
the paper is conducted on an equally high standard, and the pa
per as a whole presents to the reader a well-balanced report of
all the news of the day.
* I hope that your paper will always be as clean, newsy and re
liable ns it is now, and that your circulation will increase ns much
as the paper merits,. I would like to see The Georgian have a
paid subscription of 50,000 at the end of fwo years.
With sincere wishes for the success of The Georgian, I am
Respectfully, O. W. PASSAVANT.
