THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. 1906. October Everybody’s inevitably reminds one of these tremendous lines of Tennyson: S*wr the viiion of the world and *11 the wonder th«t would be.’” Tack London beginning his remarkable description ofmankind ^ “Before Adam,” pushes human recollection far back before the days of earliest recorded history; Charles Edward Russell, seeking in Australia further “Soldiers of the Common Good,” seems to snatch the veil from an almost imminent millennium, while in between the teeming, busy, restless, resistless present is presented in many a tale, such as “The Thief Takers of Paris,” by Vance Thompson; “Help! Help! Help!” the old problem of domestic service, by Roy L. McCardell; Hughes and Jerome contrasted, by Frank H. Simonds, and “The Strings of Liberty,”" a story of bitter, biting, passionate realism, by Maximilian Foster. It makes a wide, broad and deep magazine, but such must a magazine be which claims to be vzf/ie 15 cent* on all newt-iuodi. {1.501 year.

L. Heard, and , our position upon matters of vital con. cern to the city and state. First. We have no word of pallia tion or excuse or Justification for the killing of Olflcer Heard. We condemn It and denounce-the men who,fired upon that officer as violators of the peace and as perpetrators of a crime that must be punished’to the full ex tent of the law. Second. It Is our deliberate convic tion, based upon the proverbial order- linens of our community, that this shameful deed was done In the heat of passion, wrought up to a high and un. necessary pitch by tbe wild rumors of the coming of. a mob. Worked up by this fear, a few men thought that the approach of the officers was the coming of the mob and some one fired the fatal shot, not Intending In the least to re sist nrrest or to lire upon the officers. They thought that tbe mob was flrlng upon them. They would not have re sisted arrest had they known the sit. nation. That, to the contrary notwlthstand. Inc, we believe that the deed should be punished and we here pledge oureelves by nil the respect we have for law and good order to co-operate with the prop er authorities In ferreting out the one who did the fatal shooting. Third. Our community Is composed of upwards of two thousand ( peaceable, law-abiding, sober am dustrlous persons. We have no sa loons, no special police regulation, no bawdy houses, no gambling dens and no hellish dives. We have four churches, two great Institutions of learning, one public school, grocery stores, drug store Is building, meat market, blacksmith shop and other stores for the supply of the commodl- Iles of life. The South Atlanta Land •'ompany will bear testimony that our people are rapidly buying land, build ing house* and thus giving to the state the best pledge of good citizenship. Fourth, We place ourselves upon rec ord In unmistakable language with the hen white people of our community and of Atlanta, upon the following fundamental* of our civilization: A. All raplzts must be punlahed fut COFFEE WAS IT People Slowly Loarn the Fact*. "All my life I have been such a slave to cofree that the very aroma of It was enough to set my nerves quivering. "I kept gradually losing my health, but I used to say ‘nonsense,’ It don’t burt me. Slowly I was forced to admit the truth and the Anal result was that my whole nervous force was shattered. "My heart became weak and uncer tain In Its action and that frightened me. Finally my physician told me, about a year ago, that I must. stop drinking coffee or I could never expect lo be well again. I was In despair for the very thought of the medicines I had tried *0 many * times nauseated me. of bourse, I thought of Postum, but could hardly bring myself to give up the cof- Finally I concluded that I owed 5 ’,° myself to give Postum a trial. «ot a package and carefully fol I??** 1 the directions, and what a de Do rou know 1 ng, rich 1 found It very easy to Uhl#, s n _ nl ‘t from the cofree to Postum and. thW the change at all.?

He who Insults the purity of woman must have no quarter. We have no language strong enough to condemn these block’ men who have stirred up hatred of the races by their crimes against the white women. Wo want them punished. We say no quarter to them, for they do not respect their own women. Let no gull ty man escape. B. We want all dives and saloons closed. The Infamous negro dives all over the city Is the hell-bottom of our race and we appeal to the law to save un from the destruction that sweep* rh these pit*. Ye pledge ourselves to aid every rort to apprehend all criminals. D. We believe that vagrants are one mles of the South and they should be taught that good government requires good citizens, and good citizens work and If they will not work voluntarily they should be made to work Involun tarily, under the lash of the law. We would write In large letters: Death to Vagrants. E. We believe In obedience to law, The law Is supreme and we pledge our selves to bring our people up to the standi rds required by good govern- ment. F. Wc believe In the protection of the Innocent. Finally. We nssure the citsons of At lanta that with their help we shall he able to bring up this former slave people to the mark of good order and Christian civilisation. We ask your help, your protection, your encouragement and your confi dence. Yours, J. W. E. Bowen, W. H. Crogman, W. J. Cralley, W. S. Cameron, J. Russell Barnes. W. H. Combs, John Crolley. J. D.

Georgs M. Cohan is evidently set ting a pace for the writers of so- called musical comedy. Over a year ago he remarked In a newspaper In terview that the eye was tired of tin sel and color schemes, while the ear was growing weary of dap-trap mel ody. ’’The day for the big chorus and cartload of music has seen Its day,” remarked Mr. Cohan. True to hi* con victions, his next play,. "Forty-live Minutes From Broadway,” only con tained live musical numbers, while the chorus consisted of only eight girls and eight men, It was a daring innova tion. yet the tremendous success of ’Forty-five Minutes From Broadway” has proved the wisdom of Mr. Cohan's theory. ’’Forty-live Minutes From Broad way” will appear Tuesday and Wed nesday next at the Grand for three performances. Including a matinee Wednesday. Crowds at the Bijou, The Bijou Is being well attended this week and Sidney Toler, In "How Bhx ter Buttod In,” Is scoring a well-de served hit. The engagement will Include three more performances. “Not Yet, But Soon, Not Yet, But Soon," with Hap Ward as the star, will be the attrac tion at the Bijou next week. Theatergoers the country over are familiar with the offerings of' Ward & Vokes, and It need only be said that Hap Ward has ever been the produc ing genius of this most successful team of comedians, apd that all of the pro-, ductlons so widely toured by Ward ft Vokes were staged by Mr. Ward.

NEGRO MINISTER AIDING THE POLICE Special to Tbe Georgian. Columbus, Ga., Sept. 28.—There I* every evidence here that the best class of negroes deprecate the lawlessness of their race, and the fact that a negro preacher made a report to the police of a case against the city ordinances Is taken to mean that a more loyal and law-abiding spirit will be the result of the preeent agitation of the race ques tion.
