Says Discrepancies
Need Some Ex
plaining.
Representative Williams, of Dublin,
Oa., who was one of the Soldiers’ home
investigating committee, haa written
the following card to The Georgian, In
response to a new* 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 amueed me very much,
and I truat you will accord me the une
of your columns to reply.
Captain ‘•Tip" Harrison Is quoted as
saying that “we will continue to expel
the Inmates of the Holdiera’ home," or
word# to that effect. During all the
Investigation of the home recently
hud It was never disclosed by the evl
dence that Captain "Tip” had directly
Indirectly the remotest authority
over the home or Ita Inmates. There,
fore, 1, ns a member of the tnvestlgat-
tng committee, am nt 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 hie ener
getic defense of the ahameful misman
agement of the home In the past and
hid bitter denunciation of the Inmates
of the home.
So fact wan 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
pretfense of trial or Investigation of
any character whatever, to Immediate-
ly dismiss for frotn thirty days to
twelve months any Inmate against
whom the superintendent might have a
grievance. This Impressed ‘practically
all of our committee as 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
its walls, reduced to the necessity of
either begging or stealing. Personal-
ly, I am ashamed of any Georgian who
would defend such an Infamous sys
tem.
If the l.jard of trustees refuse to
respect our recommendation us to dis
missing the Inmates from the home. I
put them on notice now that I shall
endeavor, nt the .next meeting of the
general assembly, to take from them
the*power to expel an Inmate without
a trial, nnd to compel them to follow
the suggestion made by our commit*
tee.
FATHER OF GIRL
APPEALS TO
TO ACT AT
As has been mentioned In The Geor
gian, there arc ho books of any kind
kept at tl|e home showing that the
goods for which the purchasing agent
produced vouchers had ever reached or
been used nt the home. Having had
an humble part In provoking this In
vestigation, I refrained from taking the
Interest In Its proceedings which I
would have otherwise taken. I con
clude, however, that I studied the sit
uation a little more closely than some
of the committee, and there are now
In my possession some facts which re
flect no credit upon people Involved In
the Ingestlgntlon. 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- t
ble for the committee to Ret llRht on Si? 1 * I
one of the most vital questions In- L"
volved In ths Investigation. I will clti
only two Instances: In order to pur
chase goods cheap, and It Is known
to be the usunl terms of grocers, pay-
ment must be made at least every thir
ty days. The account of J. J. A J. B.
Maddox with the Holdlers' home ran
front August, 1905, until April, 1906,
without a credit.
Again, the purchasing ngont testlflrd
positively, while on Hie etnnd at the
recent Investigation, that the amount
of -butter consumed nt the home was
.800 pounds per yenr, nnd thst he paid
for this butter 26 cents per pound,
which amounts to 2460 per annum for
butter. And be further tesllfled that
all of this butter was bought from the
Fox River Butter Compuny. I found,
among his vouchers, the following hills
from the Fox River Blitter Company,
and leave It for hlth to explain the
discrepancy: October 16, 1905, $192.45;
same date, 1120.26; December 6, 1905,
176.90; April 2, 1906, 216.28; same date,
$154; June 20, 1906, 1229.26, making n
total of 2790.45 spent for butter In n
little over eight jnonths, or 1340.45
more Invested In butter In eight months
than the same witness, under oath,
said was used In the home In twolve
months.
1 know of but one conclusion that an
Impartial man can draw from thess
facts.
Yours truly,
GEOBGE IV. WILLIAMS.

HKALTHY GROWTH
OF Y. & M. V. ROAD
The annual report of the president of
the Yazoo und Mississippi Valley rail
road to the board of director* for the
fiscal year ending June 30, has Juat
been issued and show* an excellent
condition In the affairs of the line,
which Is a part of the Illinois Central

New lines have been added, making
an additional mileage of 30 miles. The
excess of Income over expenses of op
eration and taxes was $1,814,158.98. The
surplus over all fixed charges was
$29,617.98. The general report shows a
decided growth In trnfllc through the
South.
The Rev. Thomas L. Bryan, the
father of Miss Orrle Bryan, the young
girl who waa attacked by the negro
Luther Frasier, 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 nnd 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
tny home, 232 Courtland 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 was
agitating the negro.question I 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 thut we have
Just passed. God save the wotn?n of
Atlanta from any such experience*
I never had any more Idea that my
home would be attacked than you have
that yours will be: In fact, I though
that my home would be the last 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
flro alarm till It rings your house. Ah,
what a difference! -
George Stuart says that he was
spending the night with a rich man
In Hhernmn. Texas. Away In the night
this man slipped to hfs 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
Are Is?” Then with the voice of n
lion he screamed: "Great God, wife, It'i
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 nt the throat
of your wife or daughter and It's "good
bye philosophy!” There !s not i
irencher In Atlanta but would kill him
f he could, on the spot. If he would
not, I would not want to hear him
preach on the following Sunday.
Since I am a local preacher In the
K. Church, South, some have
thought It strange that 1 wanted to
mob the negro. Just wait, gentlemen,
till It strikes your home, then there will
be nothing strange. The highest duty
any man owes to his church Is the pro
tertian of his home. It Is only too toad
that conditions are such that we have
to resort to such methods of projec
tion! For holding such views, I may
be severely criticised, but If I am ex
pelled from every church nnd from
every lodge, I will be the first on the
grounds, If possible, to help slay negro
brutes when Southern women are In
ould go not ns a
‘ go saying: "He
that provideth.not for his own house
hold Is worse than an Infidel.” "Love
your neighbor as yourself."
"Vengeance Is mine, I 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, ami now the negroes have put
us In bondage. Negroes are even
keeping us away from the church of
God—they make us stay nnd protect
our homes. Southern men, when shall
we bo free? —
I have talked w ith some of our police
about their work nnd they go through
many perils, hut the •facts are that
every night of the world there are hun
dreds or 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 we
will have the support of the better ele
ment of negroes. Let us have your
meeting of the cltlxens, nnd 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 Lon!, 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 lM»fter element of ne
groes as to how they can help us.
Yours truly,
THOMAS U BRYAN,
232 Courtland Street, Atlanta, Go.

Mr*. Roach and her husband were in
court und said they did not want to

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,
said:
"The necessity for a meeting of the
cltlxens 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 peril.
"Let our pipers that speak for At
lanta call on the leaders of the recent
petition snd resolution, so largely rep
resentative of the sober intelligence of
our city, to announce s meeting Of
citizens st the Grand opera house or
some other pise* at ones.
Negroes Throng City.
As the country counties and towns
In Georgia and surrounding states
have put out the saloons 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-bnnved,
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 flred by liquor. They become
Insanely reckless and devilish. About
these drinking places they companion
and conspire.
On Decatur afreet 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 260 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 Trult that tempts ps 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 club#
but the white man’s bar room that sells
to negroes can be put out of business.
The city council has the power to r6*
yoke Uquor licenses at will. Let u»
meet and move to the council cham
ber.
"Every good negro In Atlanta, nnd
there are a great many good negroes,
asks for such a meeting. They need
protection from a curse against which
thev 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."

Hon. H. L. Culberson declined the
nomination as a member of the board
of county commissioners, and at the
Instance of a number of rpy 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. Blnce then my
two opponents have appeared In pub
lished platforme, and I take this op
portunity of again stating my position
to the voters.
I waa raised, and have lived prac
tically all my life, near the center of
the city of Atlanta. 1 have aa 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 cun be specially
served or beneflted by any action of
the county board, except as the same
benefits the general public and is for
the welfare of all.
I have no alignments or associa
tions with any faction, interest or ele
ment In the county, but It elected will
give my best energies to serve 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; the erectlop and
maintenance of permanent bridges; the
policing of the county; the protection
of the cltlxens 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 fiscal affairs of this
great county call for the exercise of
the best business Judgment and the
most faithful public service. If elect
ed, I pledge my best energies and abil
ity to the 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
greater number of roads the county
w II be able to construct; and certainly
all the old well-established public roads
should be first put Into permanent I
jajjgd^grioyyhe^oum^in^andJ
first-class condition as soon as possi
ble. Great thoroughfares like Bell-
wood avenue, Marietta road, Mason and
Turner's Ferry road, Boswell road,
Lakewood avenue, Hahpvllle and Col-
lege Park and East Point roads, and
other roads of like Importance have al
ready been ordered paved by the pres
ent board, and I am In favor of at
once earning out this order.
I am In favor of using the full power
of the county to properly protect It*
cltlxens, and especially the women and
children who are beyond the police pro-
teetton of the city. To this end I favor
the keeping and maintaining of county
police to whatever number and extent
necessary. I am 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 th.
city police The fllegal sale of Intoxi
cants In these blind tigers and th.
maintaining of dives Is In my opinion
one of the most fruitful sources of
crime, and particularly these crimes
against our women, nnd I will use my
best endeavors to break them up In
this county. ,
My opponent, Dr. Pierce, In his 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
waa a paid for advertisement, I am
sure will be resented by all the friend,
of organised labor In this county.
Any Insinuation that I would suffer
any' private interest to swerve me from
the discharge of my duty to the county
is something that my past record In
