THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. October Everybody’s inevitably reminds one of these tremendous lines of Tennyson: When the centuriej behind me like a fruitful land repojea, When I clung to ail the preient for the promiie that it cloaed. When I dipped into the future far as human eye could aee, Saw the vision of the world and all the wonder that would be.” T ack London beginning his remarkable description of mankind J 9 “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.

I„ Heard, and jur 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 Officer Heard. We condemn It and denounce the men who tired 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, baaed upon the proverbial order liness of our community, that this shameful deed was done In the heat of passion, wrought up to a high and un necessary pitch by the 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 arrest or to lire upon the officers. They thought that the mob was firing upon them. They would not have re sisted arrest had they known the sit uation. * rtat, to the contrary notwithstand ing we believe that the deed should be punished and we here pledge ourselves by ill the respect we have for law and goifl order to co-operate with the prop er authorities In ferreting out the one why did the fatal shooting. Ihlrd. Our community Is composed of | upwards of two thousand quiet, peaceable, law-abiding, sober and In- dtptrlous persons. We have no sa- lions, no special police regulation, no biwdy houses, no gambling dens and n> hellish dive*. We have four r/mrehes, two great Institutions of burning, one public school, grocery (tores, drug store Is building, meat imrket, blacksmith shop and other tores for the supply of the commodt- les of life. The South Atlanta Land 'ompany will bear testimony that our neople are rapidly buying land, bulki ng houses and thus giving to the state the best pledge of good cltlsenshlp. Fourth. We place ourselves upon rec ord In unmistakable language with the bort white people of our community end of Atlanta, upon the following fundamentals of our civilisation: A. All raplsta must be punished ful- COFFEE WAS IT People Slowly Learn the Faets. "All my life 1 have been such a slave to coffee that the very aroma of It was enough to set my nerves quivering.

"My heart became weak and uncer tain In Its action and that frightened toe.

He who Insults the purity of woman must have no quarter. We have no language strong enough Ho condemn these block men tvho 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 guil 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 us from the destruction that sweeps through these pits. C. We pledge ourselves to aid every effort to apprehend all criminals. D. We believe that vagrants are ene. mles of the South and they should be taught that good government requires good cltlsent, and good cltisens 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 standards required by good govern ment. .. F. We believe In the protection of the Innocent. Finally. We assure the citxens of At lanta that with their help we shall be 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 conll- 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.

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 clap-trap me|. ody. "The day for the big chorus and cartload of music has seen Its day,” remarked Mr. Cohan. True to his con victlons, his next play, ’’Forty-live Minutes From Broadway,” only con tained five musical numbers, while the chorus consisted of only eight girls and eight men. It waa a daring Innovap tlon, yet the tremendous success of "Forty-live 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 Bax. ter Butted In,” la scoring a well-de. served hit. The engagement will Include three more performances ."Not Yet, But 8oon.” Not Yet, But Soon,” with Hap Ward a* the star, will be the attrac tion .at the Bijou next week. Theatergoers the country over are familiar with the offerings of Ward & Yokes, and It need only be said that Hap Ward has ever been the produc. lng genius of this most successful team of comedians, and that all of the pro ductions so widely toured by Ward & Vokes were staged by Mr. Ward. The theater-going public have shown tholr preference for amusement which does not entail any necessity for deep think, and provides music and laughter, h Is the general style of "Not Yet, But Soon,” and It Is promised that the music, songs and entire Investiture of scenic and costume embellishment are entirely new. The musical numbers are a collection of song hits, the act ing company comprising fifty people of merit, and In every way the attrac tion Is the strongest with which Mr. Ward has ever been associated. NEGRO MINISTER AIDING THE POLICE Special to The Georgian. Columbus, Ga, Sept. 28.—There la every evidence here that the best class of negroes deprecate the lawlessness of tbelr race, and the fact that a negro preacher made a report to the police of a case against the city ordinances la taken to mean that a more loyal and law-abiding spirit will be the result of the present agitation of the race ques tion.
