Members of both crews are missing. A few are reported to have been picked up by ^.sjng^essel.. 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. Dublin, GS., Sept, 19, 1906. 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 system. 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. TOWN CAPTURED London.

Mr*. Roach and her husband were in court und said they did not want to push the case against O'Shlclds, as he had apologized for his conduct. Re corder Broyles Imposed a fine of $1.75. It seems that the dog in dispute had been left in the care of O'Shlelds by another man nnd that it had followed Roach to his Jiome. This brought on the row.

While he i swinging out on the steps of the back coach the timbers 6>f the stock gap struck his head and fractured the 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." TO THE VOTERS OF , ATLANTA NEWS BRIEFLY TOLD FULTON COUNTY During my absence from the cltyell the leaaer road* 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 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 your midst nnd my fellow citizen. ».\nt| I M.MIU11 oj oatmj t||,\v seA|as:uei|i ten times as much Interest, financially and otherwise, In Fulton county ns i have In any private company with which I am connected, nnd If elected to the county board, I pledge my un faltering loyally to the Interests of the people first, Irrespective of nny 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 the pub lic Interests In the (trant of all privi leges and franchises. Asa young man who never aspired to office before and whose highest ambi tion Is to leave an honorable record nmongst the people of Atlanta nnd throughout the county. I call upon tny friends and supporters to Interest themselves In my behalf, especially since my opponents have seen fit to at tack me. ' I will highly appreciate the support of the .voters of Fulton county, and especially urge them to come to the polls on the day of election. ROBT. F.
