NEGRO 18 ARRE8TED FOR COUNTERFEITING. Special to The Georgian. Montgomery, Ala., Kept. 22.—Thomas Shorter, alias Thomas Shorts, a negro, is locked up In the county Jail In de fault of $1,000 bail, on the charge of counterfeiting- It Is alleged the negro has made many coins of the smaller denominations and passed.them off In Montgomery. # WRECKED SCHOONERS ARE TOWED INTO PORT. SpeHrtt to The Georgian. Charleston, S. .C., Sept. 22.—At 1:26 o'clock this afternoon the schooner J. W. Belano, from Jacksonville to New York, nn<l Flora Podges, from Charles ton to New York, both lumber laden, abandoned off Frying Pan shoals in Monday’s storm, were towed here by the Italian steamship Fert, Both are badly* damaged, but their cargo is In tact. First officer Dipino, of the Fert. lost his life In securing the schooners, the line fouling his leg and pulling him overboard. Members of both crews are missing. A few are reported to have been picked up by Representative Williams, of Dublin, Ga., who was one of the Soldiers' home Investigating committee, has written the following card to The Georgian, In response to a news story that, recently appeared In an Atlanta paper, quoting Captain "Tip" Harrison: To the Editor of The Georgian: An article in a recent issue of an Atlanta paper amused me very much, and I trust you will accord me the use of your columns to reply. Captain "Tip" Harrison Is quoted as saying that "we will continue to expel the Inmates gf the Soldiers' home, words to that effect. During all the Investigation of the home recently had It was never disclosed by the evi dence that Captain "Tip" had directly or Indirectly the remotest authority over the home or Its Inmates. There fore, 1, as a member of the Investigat ing committee, am at a loss to under stand his use of the word "we" In this connection. The only place In the re cent Investigation where Captain Har rison was very active was his ener getic defense of the shameful misman agement of the home In the past and his hitter denunciation of the inmates of the home. No fact was disclosed during the re cent Investigation that reflected much more seriously upon the trustees and those to whom they had delegated their authority than the fact that it was the custom of the Institution, on complaint made to the vice president by the superintendent, without any pretense of trial or investigation of any character whatever, to immediate ly dismiss for from thirty days to twelve months any inmate against whom the superintendent might have a grievance. This Impressed practically all of our committee ns being a most iniquitous system, for the reason'that the Inmates have nothing or they would not be In the home, and are Immediately, upon being ejected from ItH walls, reduced to the necessity of either begging or stealing. Personal ly, 1 am ashamed of any Georgian who would defend such an Infamous sys tem. If the board of trustees refuse to respect our recommendation as to dis missing the Inmates from the home, I put them on notice now that 1 shall endeavor, at the next meeting of the general assembly, to take from them the power to expel an Inmate without a trial, And to compel them to follow the suggestion made by our commit tee. ^ As has been mentioned in The Geor gian, there are no books of any kind kept at the home showing that the goods for which the purchasing agent produced vouchers had ever reached or been used at the home. Having had an humble part In provoking this In vestigation, I refrained from taking the Interest in Its proceedings which 1 would' have otherwise taken. I con clude, however, that 1 studied the sit uation a little more closely than some of the committee, and there are now In my possession some facts which re lied no credit upon people Involved In the Ingestlgatlon. In view of the fact that there are no books kept at the home showing the supplies received or the use made of same. It was Impossl- . .... >’!>• for the committee to net light on ‘^elr Outche* one of the moat vital <iueHtton* In* valued In the Investigation. 1 will cite only two Instances: In order to pur chase goods chenp, oml It Is known to he the usunl terms of grocers, pay ment must be made at least every thir ty days. The nceount of .1, J, A J. E. Maddux with tho Soldiers' home ran from August, 1905, until April, 1906, without a credit. Again, the purchasing ngent testllted positively, while on the stund at the recent Investigation, that the amount of butter consumed at the home was I.hAO pounds per year, tytd that he puld for this butter 'J6 cents per pound, whtuh amounts to .$450 per annum for butter. And he further teslllted that oil of this butter wna bought from the Fox River Rutter Company. I found, among Ids vouchers, the following bills from the Fox River Rutter Company, and leave It for him to explain the discrepancy: October 16, 1905, $193.45; same date, 1120.36; December 6, 1905, 176.90; April 5, 1906, 116.36; same date, 1154: June 10, 1906, 1329.36, making n total of 1790.45 epent for butter In u little over eight months, or 1340.45 more Invested In butter In eight months than the same witness, under oath, said was used In the home In twelve months. I know of Iml one conclusion that an Impartial man cun draw from these facts. Yours truly. GEORGE W. WILLIAMS. Dublin, Ga., Sept. 19, 1906, HEALTHY GROWTH OF Y. & M. V.

Bryan, the father of Miss Orrle Bryan, the young girl who was attacked by the negro Luther Frazier, In her home, 232 Court- land street, Thursday night, has writ ten to The Georgian an Impassioned appeal for vengeance and defense. Mr. Bryan appeared in the police court Friday morning and made a plea that he might be permitted to deal with the negro himself. He was refused and the negro hurried to the Tower for safe-keeping. Mr. Bryan's letter fol lows: To the Editor of The Georgian: The Atlanta papers of yesterday gave my home, 232 Courtiand street, a great deal of costly notoriety, on account of the brutal attack of a negro on my home. I want to thank the papers for their strong editorials, and the many people of the city who have expressed so much sympathy. When The Georgian wan agitating the negro question 1 wrote two or three letters and signed my name "Cltlxen," but I feel better pre pared than ever to appeal to men not to put off this matter till you have*to go through the ordeals that we have Just passed. God save the women of Atlanta from any such experience! I never hud any more idea that my home would be attacked than you have that yours will be: in fact, I thought that my home would be the Inst place for such a tragedy to occur. It Is mighty nice to pay but little attention to the hearse till it starts toward your house; pay but little attention to the fire alarm till it rings your house. Ah, what a difference! George- Ktunrt says that he was spending the night with a rich man in Sherman, Texas. Away In the night this man slipped to his telephone when he heard the fire alarm. With a voice as soft as a child's, he said: "Oh, Cen tral, will you please tell me where the tiro is?" Then with the voice of#n lion he screamed: "Greut God, wife, It's our house!" I notice some of the preachers writ ing on the philosophy of mobs. Just wait till a half-naked negro breaks your door open and grabs at the throat of your wife or daughter and it’s "good bye philosophy!" There *.s not a trencher In Atlanta but would kill him f he could, on the spot. If he would not, 1 would not want to hear him preach on the following Hunday. Since I am a local preacher In the . E. Church, South, some have thought it strange that I wanted to mob the negro. Just wait, gentlemen, till It strikes your home, then there will be nothing strange. The highest duty any man owe* to hi* church Is the pro tection of his home. It is only too bad that conditions are such that w*e have to resort to such methods of protec tion! For holding such views, I mny be severely criticised, but if 1 am ex pelled from every church and from every hftlge, I will be the first on the grounds, If possible, to help slay negro brutes when Southern women are In ould go not as n desperado, but 1 would go saying: "Ho that pcovideth not for Mm own house hold Is worse than an Infidel." "Love your neighbor as yourself.” "Vengeance Is mine, 1 will repay, salth the Lord." But in many Instances in the history of the world, He has done this work through human agen cies. Our heroes bled and died to free the negroes, and now tho negroes have put us In bondage. Negroes are even keeping us away from the church of God—they make us stay and prbtect our homes. Southern men, when shall we be free? I have talked with some of our police about their work and they go through many perils, but the facts arc that every night of the world there are hun dreds of idle negroes prowling the streets at all hours, our Immediate work Is to put out of business this loaf ing class. In this I am glad that wc will have the support of the better ele ment of negroes. Let us have your meeting of the citizens, and have It next Sunday. Let us open with pray er. then on Monday get a new supply of ammunition. Dry reading, gentle men, until your own home goes through with it. and may that time never come. Good Lord, save our women from negro brutes, and If you save them through human agencies, may this writer play an Important part. Let us hold our meeting, then let us advise with the better element of ne groes as to how they can help us. Your* truly, THOMAS L. BRYAN. 232 Courtiand Street, Atlanta, Go. 400 NATIVES SLAIN BY DUTCH TROOPS: London, Sept. 23.—A dispatch from The Hague says the Dutch troops have captured the town of Badong, In Dutch Malayla, after desperate resistance.

Officer Rowan, who made the cases, testified he found two minors In the pool room. Coggins showed that he was unaware of the presence of the two boys, as he was not in the place, and hls case was dismissed. Crawford wus fined 125.75. It was also shown that considerable complaint hns been registered against the pool room, and Coggins promised to quit business at that stand. DISPUTE OVER DOG IS AIRED IN COURT A dispute over a dog caused Harve O’Shields, an aged white man, to be arraigned Saturday morning In police court on the charge of using abusive language toward Mrs. Walter Roach, of 11 Tumlln street, and also with striking at her with a stick. Mrs. Roach and her husband were In court and said they did riot want to push the case against O’Shields, as he had apologized for hls conduct. Re corder Broyles Imposed a fine of |l.7o. It seems that the dog In dispute had been left In the care of O’Shfelds by another man and that It had followed Roach to his home. This brought on the row. At the close of the police court trial the owner of the dog put In an appearance and laid claim to It. Judge Broyles told him he was entitled to the canine. The editorial suggestion In The Georgian of Friday that a mass meet ing be called to consider the prevail ing state of terror In and near Atlanta following the numerous assaults by negroes, has been met with hearty commendation* by a number of promi nent citizens. Rev. John E. White, pastor of the Second Baptist church, expressed him self forcibly upon this subject He said: "The necessity for a meeting of the citizens of Atlanta to move the whole force of public spirit In a definite, de termined and resistless sweep down Decatur and Peters streets to clean out the negro and other dives Is the necessity of the hour In this commu nity. "There are ten thousand voices; there should be but one. There are ten thousand houses; there should be but one—the voice and hand of Atlanta. There has been talk enough about these breeding places of lust and animal In sanity. Why don't we clean them out? They are a shame on us under any circumstances; now they are leprous with perl|. "Let our papers that speak for At lanta call on the leadera of the recent petition and rasolution, so largely rep resentative of the sober intelligence of our city, to announce a meeting or citizena at the Grand opera house or •ome other place at once. < Negroes Throng City. 'As the country counties and towns in Georgia and surrounding states have put out the Xaloons and bar rooms, the lowest classes of negroes have thronged to Atlanta and the cen ters which still have barrooms. This Is the class of negroes, the low-browed, whisky loving, lustful Guinea negro from which comes the rapist. "They congregate where debauchery and brawling gathers itself around a bar room. Their brutish Inslncts are fed and fired by liquor. They become Insanely reckless and devilish. About these drinking places they companion and conspire. "On Decatur street last Saturday night there were more than 2,000 ne groes. In that mass there was enough potential rape and outrage to make our faces turn pale. Around one bar room on Peters street last Saturday night there were counted 250 black negroes drinking and carousing. No other city in the world has as much of the pru rient devil congested in small space and so much unrestrained as Atlanta has on Decatur and Peters streets. "For a Christian people there Is but one course open. Plan In calmness; proceed In quiet. Pray In strength, but put the ax to the root of the tree that bears the fruit that tempts us and pro vokes us to forget ourselves. Such a meeting as we need could well be held In a Christian church and opened with prayer. . "Not,only the negro dives and clubs but the white man's bar room that sells to negroes can be put out of business. The city council has the power to re voke liquor licenses at will. Let ub- meet and move to the council cham- "Every good negro In Atlanta, and there are a great many good negroes, asks for such a meeting. They need protection from a curse against which they are powerless. Every white woman In Atlanta needs relief from the shadow now hanging over us. Every good Interest of religion and business calls us together to do something de cisive toward the pest breeders and the rape feeders In Atlanta." TO THE VOTERS OF FULTON COUNTY During my absence from the eltyall the lesser roads should be put In Hon. H. L. Culberson declined the nomination as a member of the board of county commissioners, and at the Instance of ‘a number of my friends I consented to make the race for this position. Upon my return, I wrote a letter to all the registered voters In the county, setting forth my views and soliciting their support. Since then my two opponents have appeared In pub lished platforms, and I take this op portunity of again stating my position to the voters. was raised, and have lived prac tically all fny life, near the center of the city of Atlanta. I have as much Interest on one side of the county as another, and am a candidate to repre sent the whole county and all Its In terests. I have no Interest or property In this county that can be specially served of benefited by any action of the county board, except as the same benefits the general public and la for the welfare of all. have no alignments or associa tions with any faction, interest or ele ment In the county, but If elected will give my best energies to eerve the Interests of each and all, high and low. rich and poor. Every tax payer Is vitally Interested In having the business of the county administered so as to get the best re sults to the county on the most eco nomical basis, and especially In having the tax rate kept as low as possible. The construction and maintenance of the public buildings; fhe erection and maintenance of peiynanent bridges; the policing of the county; the protection of the citisene and their property; the maintenance of the county Jail, the alms houses, the reformatory and other public Institutions; the construction of roads, their paving 'and maintenance In the most Judicious, economical and permanent manner, and generally the administration of llscal affairs of this great county call for tho exercise of the best business Judgment and the most faithful public service. If elect ed, I pledge my best energies and abil ity to tho accomplishment of these ends, and believe that by the applica tion of sound business principles to these business matters the greatest amount of good can be done. The more economically and perma nently the roads are constructed, the *reater number of roads the county * tn construct; and certainty all the old well-established public roads should be first put Into permanent g^rod^rondltln^^h^ouintjUnejand first-class condition as soon as possi ble. Great thoroughfares like Bell- wood avenue, Marietta road, Mason and Turner's Ferry road. Roswell road, Lakewood avenue, Hapevllle and Col- lege Park and East, Point roads, and other roads of Ilk; Importance have al ready been ordered paved by the pres ent board, and I am In favor of at once carrying out this order. I am In favor of using the full power of the county to properly protect Its citizens, and especially the women and children who are beyond the police pro- tection of the city. To this end I favor the keeping and maintaining of county police to whatever number and extent necessary. I nm especially In favor of rooting out all the miserable dives where Intoxicants are Illegally sold, es pecially those outside of the city lim its and beyond the protection of the city police. The Illegal sale of Intoxi cants In these blind tigers and the maintaining of dives Is In my opinion one of the most fruitful sources of crime, and particularly these crimes against our women, uno I will use my best endeavors to break them up In this county. My opponent, Dr. Pierce, In hls card of Thursday, reflects upon the official organ of the Federation of Trades, The Journal of Labor, -which, In Its last Is sue, without my knowledge or seeking, so strongly editorially Indorsed my candidacy for county commissioner. The untrue insinuation that the same was a paid for advertisement, I am sure will be resented by all the friends of organized labor In this county. ‘ v Insinuation that I would suffer . rlvate Interest to swerve me from the discharge of my duty to the county Is something that my past record til your midst and my fellow citizens SAUq I uo.wrub o) o.uit| |||m sOAiesui.ni) ten times as much Interest, financially and otherwise, In Fulton county as I have tn any private company with which I am connected, and If elected to the county board, I pledge my un faltering loyalty to the Interests of the people first, Irrespective of any private Interest or business relation I may have. I believe In development and progress, but hand In hand with this must go the full protection of tho pub lic Interests In the grant of all privi leges and franchises. As a young man who never aspired to office before and whose highest ambi tion Is to leave an honorable record amongst the people of Atlanta and throughout the county. I call upon my friends and supporters to Interest themselves In tny behalf, especially since my opponents have seen fit to at tack me., I will highly appreciate tho support of the (voters of Fulton county, and especially urge them to come to the polls on the day of election.

They think, I have been doing my duty to ward them, when I have not." This statement was made Saturday morning in police court by James R. Patty, whose home Is in Hunnlcutt street, and who was taken into custody at the instance of Probation Officer Gloer on the charge of Improperly treating hls three children by leaving them alone at home for two days and nights. After declaring he had done wrong. Patty remarked: "I ought to be hanged for the way I have done." "I certainly agree with you on that point,” quickly responded Recorder Broyles. Patty’s oldest child, a bright and pretty girl of 14 years, although she and her two little brothers, both young er than her, had been left alone by the father, pleaded for him and refused to admit he had treated the children Im properly, She Insisted the father had done nothing wrong, ^notwithstanding hls own admissions. Patty admitted he had been drinking and nlso confessed that pool rooms hold an attraction for him. After making out a strong case against hlmseir, Patty begged for one more trial, solemnly promising never to get drunk again, never to enter an other pool room, and to go home to hls children every night. Officer Gloer stnted that Patty had also made the same promises to him since hls arrest and that he appeared sincere. On these promises and with a warn ing, Judge Broyles dismissed the case and allowed Patty to leave the court room with his three children. Patty's wife Is dead. Louis. Jackson.
