THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. MOMMY', OCTOlitJU U 1**. A CANDIDATE OF THE PEOPLE T. M. POOLE Robert Maddox, president of a land com pany, a director of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company, wants to be county commis sioner to pass on bis affairs. Does the Mad dox bank want the earth? Mr. Peel, his partner, is chairman of the city’s sinking fund that holds all the city securities for the redemption of her bonds. His cashier, Mr. Peeples, is city treas urer. Does the city and county want to turn over their affairs to them in full or in part? I am a candidate of the people and if elected will represent the people. T. M. POOLE. Ministers in Meeting Decide Against it After Argument. Whether to Inaugurate an Immediate campaign for a prohibition election or to accept the action of the city council in refusing Meanses to a part of the saloons was the question before the Evangellcig Ministers' Association ut Its meeting Monday. Impassioned arguments for and against immediate action In which leading ministers took opposite sides was a feature of the meeting. The conservative element won their light and the following resolution was adopt ed. after more vigorous movements hud been discountenanced: "That It is the opinion of the Mln- Isttftf Association of Atlanta that the tlmfe Is ripe for a vigorous agitation looking to the ultimate suppression of traffic Jn Intoxicating drinks in our city." Dr. John E. White led the conserva tive element and was supported by Rev. George H. Mack. Rev. .1. C. Sol omon, superintendent of the Anti- Saloon League, led the movement to Inaugurate an Immediate election for local option. Ho had the slipport of Presiding Elder J. H. Kakes. The meeting continued for nearly two hours. JDr. White opened the discussion by saying that Monday afternoon and Tuesdny the council committee would meet to consider the re-licensing of sa loons, and the ministers should appear before It. He understood that at least sixty saloons would be cut out of the list. “Ripe for Prohibition.” Dr. G. H. Heuttie Introduced a reso lution expressing the opinion of the meeting that the time was ripe for a concentrated effort against the sale of liquors. The interpretation of this led to the argument which followed, some taking It as moaning that an active fight for prohibition should be begun. Dr. John E. White made an appeal for sober action. He said: "I have been a steadfast opponent of whisky, as you know. Hut ministers have Influence just in proportion as they act with calmness and level heads. Back of their burning convictions they must know how to act and how to plan. They must realise that the city author ities must be governed by reason and common sense. I believe that the re cent trouble In Atlanta will bring to a focus the prohibition question and at no distant date. “I believe we are going to see an Issue with the good white people on one side and the good, well behavd ne groes on the other and between these two there will be no conflict. But be tween them will be that large class of negroes who come in contact with the better negroes and with the lower whites and here is found the dive—the saloon, which Is at the bottom of the crimes. "I believe that In flve years the city and the state will be absolutely under prohibition law's. It will be the result of calm, resolute action. And under those conditions prohibition will not be overthrown. “Tims Not Yst Corns.” "The time Is not ripe for a prohibi tion movement In Atlanta. The com mittee of ten at the court house said that this Is not the time to complicate race troubles by an election which would certainly reproduce the scenes of that fomer prohibition election. The negroes would become the balance of power and as before would be march cd to the polls to vote for whisky. We don't want any struggle for those ne gro votes under the present conditions- "Another thing. This election would cost $50,000. Where arc you going to get the money? From tho Ministers’ Association? It Involves the leadership of lending men. If we inaugurate this movement now we shall lose these leaders, who are not ready for the movement. Men who oppose whisky bitterly tell me that they will not sup port a movement for an election at this time. It would be unwise gener alship. It would bo a fiasco and all the glorious promise before#' us would bo lost. We must plan wisely and work wisely, and w'hen we do this we shall sweep whisky out of Georgia, and It will stay out." “Too Much Commercialism. Rev. J. II. Eakes answered Dr. White. He said: I expect to be In my grnvo before general prohibition exists In Georgia. There are 112 dry counties now and you haven't got It. fou keep on saying, Not now.' The spirit of commercial ism is sweeping over this town. The commercial Interests will never he •ady. I think we should he conserva tive, hut we can not wait on the busi ness men to get ready. And I am eternally opposed to send ing a delegation beMr^tJla,‘council. If —!» do wo shall he.support Its tlon. If we consent to the re-llcens- Ing of certain saloons we shall have to stand by It. Of course, as private eltl- ns, we may do ns W'e please, but ns delegation from the association thero is hut ono course—that is to detnnnd that no license whatever ho Issued." Rev, J. C. Solomon made an eloquent appeal for Immediate notion. "The time is now,” he said. “The sentiment is on, the people are aroused and we can win the fight. Gentlemen, am In for the fight. I’ve held off. •e wanted to be conservative. But a can’t loso this opportunity." Mr. Solomon then rend a letter from Hon. W. A. Covington, of Colquitt coun ty, urging him to Inaugurate a fight against the saloon at once. The cloning of certain saloons gives an air of respectability to the rest." said Mr. Solomon, "and the question will he settled against us for years then. Let us get our forces together and let the worst come.” Conservative Action. Dr. M. J. Cofor, editor of The Wes leyan Christian Advocate, was In fa- ■ of conservative action.

A., Atlanta, Ga. from Its depths the fabled Obi, dread ed Spirit of the Rain, had fled breathless haste back to the lighted security of Georgetown. And the par ty of four, three men and the woman whom {hey had been powerless to keep back, were approaching the goal of their strange expedition. • Suddenly the ,path ; began to fall slightly, and through the nocturnal solitude came to their ears a noise re sembling the music of hammers on distant anvils. It was regular, un ceasing, and Indubitably metallic. And it pierced the night like a shaft of sound. They all stopped instinctively, and listened. "What's that?" Tony whispered. “That," said the, captain, "is the blacksmith force qf the Grand Etang, if you want to know. They’ll keep it up all night. You'll soon get used to It.” Five minutes later Philip stopped. "There you are!" he said. At their very feet was the w-ater, black, awful, mysterious, sullenly re flecting the faint constellations of the sky above. The rays of the men’i lanterns seemed to glance oft It ca priciously as a lance might glance off Impenetrable armor, leaving the dark ness invlqlate and terrifying. In the distance of the lake great fireflies dart ed and flashed their Intermittent sig nals, and, trailing through the surface of the pool, they touched the night with phosphorescence. The effect of this play of spangled radiance, to the ac companiment of the frogs’ > loud and Incessant ringing, was like nothing elBe in human experience. It caused the adventurers to forget for the moment even their adventure, and to humble themselves before the secret works of the Mother, which she performs In far places tor herself alone. Save the fireflies and the frogs, there was naught but sleeping life. Tho huge, waveless fronds of pnlm trees bor dered the lone shore, and round about, felt rather than discerned, rose the gigantic peaks and fhoulders of encir cling hills. Eastwards, a dim pallor heralded the climbing moon. Tho party hesitated, as it were con founded by the immensity of the mys tery of the theater In which they stood like Insignificant pigmies. "I say, old man,’’ said Tony, ad dressing Philip, "wo might as well have waited till tomorrow, eh? Except that it's worth coming to see.” "Tomorrow we might have been too late," Philip answered. "I’m certain that whatever Pollexfen means to do he means to do tonight. He la some where about with Coco.” "I don’t see any signs of them,” said Tony. “How are we going to look for them?” "There Is only one way to look for them. That is to make the circuit of the lake. It’s not more than three miles, I think.” "Rather like looking for an escape of gas with a lighted candle,” Tony remarked, reflectively. "That’s tut you please,” said Philip. "W’ve got one great advantage over Pollexfen. We’re expecting him, but he Isn’t expecting us. He thinks I’m safe In the ‘White Rone.' You have a revolver, and you can shoot straight, can’t you? You used to be able to, anyhow. As a matter of fact there won’t need to bo any shooting, we have to do is to keep an eye on tho doings of our precious friend. That’s perfectly peaceable, surely. Now the first thing is to go round the lake." "Yes. And suppose ho finds out w'e •e here, and Just enjoys himself by many of our churches," ho said,, “and tho men who built up and support the churches are against any such move ment now. When a minister holds his church together and fulfills his duty to his congregation ho has done all that he can be expected to do.” Dr. Cofor then offered a resolution pledging the support of the associa tion to a prohibition election when ever the laymen might be ready for it. This was afterward withdrawn after I)r. Whlto had amended Dr. Beattie's resolution. Though the vote on the amended res olutlon was unanimous tho feeling of the members for and against an early local option election seemed almost equally divided. Nothing hut the fear of arousing further race troubles pre vented the- association from declaring In favor of action at an early dute. No delegation was appointed to pear before the council, but a number tf tho ministers expressed their Inten tion of appearing as citizens to protest against the re-issuance of any licenses O0000000OCKH>O000000000000O O O O MINNEHAHAS O WITH THIS JOKE Although it is about time for If O Indian summer to come, there O O seems to be a shyness about the O O hazy maiden this year.

"Stick to the shore, go as quickly as you can. Is it agreedV “Ye—es," from Tony. “You see,” said Philip, “as a Jake is water entirely surrounded by land, wp’re bound to meet again ultimately U we keep going." "And If nothing happens," Captain Chetwode put in solemnly. “Exactly," Philip smiled. “Are you ready? Cover the lanterns. It’s not so dark as all that. What you have to do is to walk slowly and carefully." "Well,” said Tony. "Good luck! It’s a gamble. I hope we shall win. Miss Pollexfen, are you quite sure—" “Quite," she interrupted him, and added more softly, "Thank you very iquch.” “In about half an hour or so, then," said Philip, "we'll run into each other on the opposite coast. Remember where the moon is rising. When you’ve got that point exactly on your right, you’ll know' you have done your share of the distance. And look here, don’t get ex cited and shoot us w'hen you meet us. We wouldn’t like it at all, should we, Miss Pollexfen ?" She murmured a faint appreciation of s witticism. Then the two couples turned their backs on each other. Phil ip and Mary found the walking com paratively easy. She would not take his arm. He was on her left, between her and the water, into which his foot splashed lightly at intervals. She now' wore her cloak. Once she stumbled, and once she drew back with swift foreboding at sight of a long dark ob ject which barred their progress, one end of It. disappearing In the water. "Step over It," said Philip. "It’s only a dead tree." I thought—" she began, but did not finish the sentence. He helped her over the tree. "Why did you come?" he demanded, suddenly. "I said it was madnoss, and it is. However, you are not used to be crossed, and so you had your way. But you ought not to have come. I have a habit of speaking my mind to women I admire, and so I speak it to you." "Ah!" she breathed, looking straight ahead. "I had to come. That was all. I had to come. Women have these fancies. It was something In me stronger than myself that forced me to copie- Something—perhaps I was wrong,” she broke off. "What puzzles me," said Philip, after a pause, “Is the doings of Master Coco. He must have kept some private In formation up his sleeve all this time In order to sell it to Mr. Pollexfen at the end. And the information must have been Important, or the good Pollexfen w-ould not have dragged him off as he did Jn such a hurry. I’m rather sorry Coco has ratted. Especially as he Isn’t clever enough to make Mr. Pollexfen keep to any bargain that Mr. Pollex fen may have concluded with him." “Do you think that Coco has ratted, then?" Mary questioned. “Don’t you?" "I do not. I’ve had too many talks with him to think that. There Is only one secret that Coco has kept, and that is the depth of his hatred for the man who killed my father. I realized that bit by bit. Ho lives simply to nurse that hatred. Probably he overheard some thing last night that decided him upon a course of action." "What!" cried Philip. “Do you mean that Coco has enticed the great Pol- lexfcn up here with the intention of— er—taking some sort of revenge?” That Is what I mean,” Mary answer- “An inspiration! You've saved my life—do you know?” “I came to do that,” she replied simply. "Something had told me that I should.” "A woman’s cloak!” he murmured. "What an l<V»a! Some day I shall try to thank you," he added. "I can’t now. But you're wonderful! Take the cloak, please. You will be chilly." As, In a manner almost laughably matter-of-fact, he helped her to re sume the cloak, they discovered, en tangled in the pleats of the cloak, a heavy object. It was a revolver. “It is Pollexfen’s,” said Philip quiet ly w'hen he had examined it by the light of his lantern. “In that quarter, now% we haven't so much to fear.” With frequent glances behind them, they proceeded cautiously as far as the light, which still shone unmoved amid the ceaseless play of fireflies. And the light proved to be an ordinary shtp’S* lanterrt set on a stick upright in the loose soil. Whether Pollexfen, having observed the lanterns of the party from the “Wanderer" immediately on their arrival, had placed It there for the purpose of distracting attention from the real scene of his operations, or whether It did Indeed mark the real scene of his operations, which he had lefb in order to reconnoitre, Philip could not then decide. But either hy pothesis demanded the utmost vigilance and wariness. •'We had better wait here for the others to come. We have at any rate found something, and between ua we have done something.” They waited, silent. The moon in blanched majesty stepped /orth from her couch behind the eastern hills, and threw the magic of her first beams Into the great cup. And even as she ap peared they heard .In the distance, above the noise of the frogs, a faint sound of a shot, and Mary took Phil DENTAL WORK AT COST JCOLLEGE SEASON NOW OPEN A large number of parties can be waited on at reg ular college prices—“Cost of Materials.” No green students are allowed to enter this school, but dentists of several years’ experience come to learn the newest things In the business.

"Well,” said Philip, shortly, “I'm sor ry for Coco.'* “I—” She stopped, clutching Philip’s arm, and pointed over a segmont of the lake. “What can that be?” she whispered excitedly, with outstretched Anger. "I've been watching it for some min utes,” Haid Philip. “At first I thought It was one of these fireflies that had tnken root somowherc and made up Its mind not to fly any more. But it’s a lnntern. Sometimes It waves a little.” “I—I’m glad you had noticed it,” she stammered. "What are we going to do?" "Get a little nearer,” said Philip. The anvil music of the ravine black smiths continued with monotonous resonant regularity The fireflies darted hewllderlngly to and fro, weav ing thotr fanciful patterns on the black water. The great fronds of the palm trees succeeded each other In an end less succession of forms serrated against the profound gloom of the Arm ament. The pallor in the East had not yet perceptibly Increased. Tire one change in the scene was that steady yellow circle of light which had startled Mary—and which had equally startled Philip, though with masculine dlsin- genuousness he had pretended precisely the contrary. And that light altered everything for them, even to the pace of their heart beats. That light meant Pollexfen. It meant the treasure, if treasure there was. It meant the solu tion of the mystery of the Corner House in Strange street, off Klngsway. It shone steadily, like a demoniac lure. ••It Isn’t by any chance Sir Anthony and the captain?" Mary suggested. •’Not unless they have walked two miles or more in the dark in about a quarter of an hour,” said Philip. "No. By the way, you will kindly remain be hind, nnd not move. Miss Pollexfen, hen I give the word. I shall ap proach that lantern alone." you wish," she answered, moment later they dhtlnctly heard footsteps within the belt of trees thnt bordered the shore, and they halted. Who’s there?” Philip cried In a loud voice. The shadow seemed to move In the trees, scarcely 10 feet from them. Phil ip's heart knocked at his breast like a hammer. He wondered what Mary must be feeling. "Who’s there?” he repeated. And then he was astonished to see Mary break away from him with a movement of surprising swiftness. She pulled off her large cloak as she leapt, and with a sweeping gesture, as Philip could dimly discern, she flung It over the shadow amid the trees. There was the report of a revolver, and some cursing within the folds of the cloak. Ere Philip could quite reach It the cloak shifted quickly away, further within the belt of trees. He clutched frantically after It, and caught it by the corner and held It But he held nothing save the cloak. Footsteps died away In the deep shade of thf palms.

They knew not what might be happening within a quarter of a mile of them. Of one thing only could they be sure namely that since the shot had come from the left and not from the right, their friends could have no concern in It Another nerve-shaking pau?4 en sued, and then, quite suddenly and un expectedly, there was a sound in the trees close to them. Mary, who was reclining, sprang up, and the moon's rays fell with a pale glitter on her white cloak. ”De Obi!” yelled a despairing voice, cleaving the very heavens. And the terror-struck visage of Coco appeared for a second time and was gone. Coco had seen Mary, the fatal goddess of negro mythology, she who controls the rain, and guards the pool, and foretells death. He fled shriek ing, moaning, with wild gesticulations, and so passed along the shore into the shade of the mighty palms. And then there was a heavy splash, and then nothing but the metallic music of the frogs and the darting of the gorgeous fire-flies under the full moon. When Tony and Captain Chetwode arrived, Philip was bending over Mary’s form and moistening her fore head with water from the lake. “She has fainted," he said briefly. She will come to directly.” “Not hurt?” Tony demanded. “No,” said Philip. “I'll tell you what’s happened in a minute. We've nothing to fear." Captain Chetwode knelt down by the woman’s side. Tears were In his eyes. She had come Into hts life like a breath of romance. He knew not the name of love, but nevertheless the tears in his eyes were real tears. At daybreak the watchers, two of whom had twice made the circuit of the lake and found nothing fresh, were again at the lantern. Both Pollex fen and Coco had vanished utterly. Mary was perfectly recovered. From a heroine of the stage she had devel oped Into a less specious and artificial heroine. The blind and waveless face of the lake reflected the movements of earliest light, while the splendor of the moon waned and died. The watchers could now for the first time savor the primeval peace that wraps the lovely hollow. The Grand Etang lay before their eyes In the heart of the verdure-clad hills, curtained on all sides by branching boughs embroid ered with orange and scarlet and pur ple flowers. But nothing lived save the trees. Though It was morn, not a bird flashed plumage nor uttered cry; not a lizard rustled in the shade. Thanks to the prudent sagacity of Oxwlch, the party were able to eat and drink. “By Jove! I say. What’s that?” cried Tony, after he had shied a dead palm branch Into the water. With the nat ural elasticity of his temperament he had recovered sooner than the others from the events of the night and the possthle fatal corollaries of those events. He pointed to a minute black point ticking up out of the water, about three yards away from them, exactly opposite to where the lantern had been. Better go In and see,” said Philip laconically. And Tony, ever ready for the water, waded In. The minute black point was the cor ner of a metal box about two feet long by one foot broad and six inches deep. Tony could Just lift It, but he could not bring It away, for the reason that it was attached by means of a ring and copper wire to something else beneath the surface. This something else proved to be another similar box, and the second box was In turn at inched to others. By the aid of a con trlvance of the captain's, the copper wire was cut, and the three men be gan to carry the heavy boxes ashore. It was a laborious task and a moist. They were soon Indeed soaked to the neck. “But these aren’t old coffers," Mary exclaimed. “They’re quite new. Look at the key hole. And there’s a name i the back—’Chumler.”’ "'Chumler,* the safe man!” grum bled the captain. "If they're Chumler’s shall never open them—that’8 sure." In his mind’s eye was a vision of Chumler’s famous ship window in Piccadilly, with the historic safe there in that Charles Peace himself had failed to get Into. "Hum!" said Philip. ••Is this what you’ve come for, then?” the captain asked, shaking one of tho boxes in his wiry arms and lis tening for the sound. "Of course It Is,” said Tony. "Haven’t I told you all along?” ’’Well," the captain said, "you’d bet ter take It down to the yachts by way of Goyane. It will be less noticed. I can’t do with any suspicion attaching to my yacht.” A couple of hundred yards off a figure appeared out of the belt of palm and strolled to the margin of the lake; hesitated there a few instants, and dis appeared. The whole party saw the man clearly, and were sure that it was neither Walter Pollexfen nor Coco. He had somewhat of a foreign carriage.

New Orleans, Oct. 1.—From addi tional reports received here, the loss to the cotton crop In Mississippi is prob ably 300,000 bales or more. The losr In Louisiana to cotton and other crops Is also very great. In all the loss to.cotton Is probably no less than half million dollars. Farmers In some places have entire ly abandoned their crops and very dis couraging reports are received. In some places In the timber section the loss to standing timber runs as high as 90 per cent. From Biloxi reports say the turpentine Interests are prac tically ruined. Every tree that had been boxed was weak and in nearly every' case will be leveled to the ground. Captain Culver and wife and four fishermen were drowned on an Island In Back Bay, off Biloxi. Provisions are being sent from New Orleans to Mobile, where a number of families are reported suffering from hunger. n All reports show the first news to have been of a minimum of the real damage to property and loss to life. REMARKABLE RECORD ESTABLISHED AT GRADY SINCE RIOTING CEASED Since the end of the rioting in At lanta a remarkable record has been established at the Grady hospital, de veloping a situation never before known In the big city hospital. It was announced at the institution Monday at noon that from last Tues day up to that hour not a case, growing out of any kind of disorder, had been treated. Not a white man nor a negro had come Into the hospital with a cut, gun shot wound, or any other kind of wound received In a fight. The ambulance has made only a few runs during the past week and has not been out a time at night. While th# splendid corps pf hospital physicians were hard worked during the rioting, they have since then been enjoying a well-earned rest. The hospital doctors declare this con dition Is unprecedented, and that It is due to the closing of the saloons.

Under the fonner head he spoke of the increasing ailenlsa- tlon between the races, due to several causes, namely, the fellng of insecurity nnd terror among our women and the apparent unwillingness of a certain ele ment of the negroes to co-operate with the law in capturing and punishing the law-breakers of their race.
