Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 3, 1906. To the Editor of The Georgian: As a constant reader of your paper and a close observer of your editorials on the recent riot which occurred In our city, I beg to commend yon for he courageous manner In which you repented the in- warranted attacks of those who are either insuffera bly dull, or Inspired by motives Instituted by the dCV, No one will dare to claim perfection for our people, but we do claim that our Southern character In the large, Ip wholepome, generous and high pur posed. thnt we are making each year better than the last, each generation nobler than Its fathers, ror further and Independent evidence of the wholepome condition of our character, witness the prompt and wise action taken by our people Immediately after the riot. Hundreds of the foremost men of our city met and unanimously adopted resolutions condemn ing the criminal, denouncing lawlessness, and guar* anteelng protection to every citizen worthy of tho name. To those who have so unjustly passed a sweep ing condemnation on our people’s character, we say our defense is an appeal to wiser and Impartial critics, If not indeed to more sympathetic ones. If there be any among tin who are Inclined to ho pes simistic, to you wo say. do not despair from an un warranted conclusion, thnt the evils which afflict us are marks of decay. Those saving traits of our people's normal disposition will he abundantly able to protect and perpetuate our institutions Just as long as we are vigilant and faithful to our grent trust. No thinking man can lose hope while our courts and Juries remain unblemished and render justice fearlessly. No ono should become discour aged so long ns moral rectitude is the plain, ade quate standard by which we measure tho conduct of men. Respectfully, C. D. ROSSER, JR. We think that Mr. UosHer's view is the normal and wholesome view for Atlanta and Its friends to take. There Is nothing to foster pessimism In tho condi tions which surround us. We havo had a riot. It did Its work. It is over and not likely to occur again. We havo expressed, through the most representative channels, the city’s strong and explicit condemnation of the shedding of Innocent blood, and the voice of the people has gone through tho land There are few cities In America whose skirts arc so clear of lawlessness and riot that they can afford to ho less than charitable in the deliberate view of our recent , history. There has been sent throughout tho country a truth ful and explicit statement of the awful provocation, which In Its cumulative Intensity snapped at Inst tho chords of , human endurance and set us beside ourselves with wrath and reprisal. » Neither the people to the North of us, upon whose opinions we cannot afford to lean too fondly, nor the negroes themselves credit the mob to the real represen tatlvo Atlanta, anu the comments of tho press are dally softening nnd growing more conservative. Meanwhile tho police report the city quioter and more orderly than It has been In years. It Is the well- nigh unanimous testimony of our people that not In twen ty years have the negroes been so orderly, polite and ac commodating as they are today, and the great, big fact shines out that not even the suggestion of an assault upon a while woman has startled North Georgia since 7 p. m. on the evening of September 22! We think that Mr. Rosser is right in thinking, and timely In saying that the normal nnd saving virtues of our people will be abundantly able to redeem and to preserve the dignity of our institutions, and the standards of our repute. We have said now nil that we are called to say In protest of our virtues and in condemnation of tho rioters. It Is Just as well to remember the necessity of keep ing the leaders of tho negro race in full remembrance of their solemn pledges to say less of lynching and to preach hell and damnation to the rapist. And It Is just ns well not to obscure In our own minds the fact that the greatest of crimes Is rape. The reign of terror for our Southern women has lifted for a season. It is our highest duty to guard against its return. rifle. 1 know this negro. He Is a (food negro and does noborly any barm. I am going to protect him, and the man who gets him will have to get him when this rifle of mine will no longer shoot.” And before this brave and resolute front of a single man. the mob Inglorlously retreated. On the same or the second evening n negro sought refuge from a mob of pursuers In the Marlon hotel, and when the proprietor nnd his guests found It Impossible with their protests to prevent the entrance of the mob, Colonel I*owry Arnold stepped to the front and sternly nnd resolutely announced to the crowd that the flrst rioter who put his foot within thnt threshold would be shot dead with the revolver which he held In his hand. And once more the mob retired before the firm and resolute presence of one brave man and went to seek prey that offered less resistance. Here, then, you have the Illustration of how two brave and resolute mon without spilling a drop of blood drove back the mob by their firmness. The mob as a mass may be brave, but us Individuals It will always be found to possess a yellow streak, and the man who has the nerve nnd the gilt and is of a generous stripe can always de velop thnt yellow streak If he has any force and courage of his own. It might be well for our officers of the law to real ise In tho future that the most violent and vindictive of mobs always manage to retain enough of reason to recog nise the presence of any real danger to Itself, and that they almost Invariably retreat before any one brave and determined man who will oppose It. Personal Courage Against Bravado. It Is a fact not generally understood but one which should be well learned in case we ever have another crisis, thnt the unflinching courage nnd determination of a single man may sometimes turn back a mob In the per- McuUon of Its prey and save a human life or defend a person’s property. Two Instantes will Illustrate this proposition. On Saturday evenln„ when one of the ears was going outward, a frantic nnd eager mob on the sidewalk caught sight of a negro on one of the seats. Instantly there was a rush for the car, and a crowding mob had Its foot on the steps demanding that the negro be turned out to whet thetr vengeance. The motorman protested, but was overpowered. Suddenly a gentleman came to the rescue and said to the motorman, "Why don’t you put this mob off the ■tops of the car?” The motorman replied. "I am iwfectly willing to do to, but am physically unable.” The gentleman said: "Authorise me as your deputy •nd I will put them off for yon." The motorman feladly consented, and with this in dorsement Colonel Luther Hosser reached back Into the car. selted hi* rifle and stepping to the front firmly ad dressed the crowd with the remark: "The flrst man who puts his foot on this car will get the contents of this Two Stories For Municipal Ownership. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 4, 1906. Hon. John Temple Graves, City. Dear Sir: In response to your editorial of today, “Municipal Ownership for Atlanta,” would like to give you a brief account of my experience with the Atlanta Gas Light Company. I bought a house and lot over a year and a half ago. The company put the slot motor under the house and absolutely refused to consider any other location for same, and there It remains. If you and Jim Key don’t win the plaudits of your fellow citizens In the light for justice that you are making, then J miss my guess. With best wishes, 1 am very truly, J. LINTON MOORE. 70 Ormond St. Upon the heels of this story there comes to us an other story of even greafler slgnllfcance. Two of the soundest young business men of Atlanta heard the story told by one of the strongest and most distinguished ministers of Atlanta. It Beenjs that the minister went off for his summer vncatlon and locked up his house until his return. He was gone nn even month. Two or three dnys after the minister's return his gas bill was presented to him. He wnH amazed to read thnt notwithstanding his consecutive absence for thirty days his gas off! was just exactly what It was during the Inst month spent at home. The minister took the bill to the authorities to point out the evident mistake. His protest had no weight. “But It Is surely n mistake," said the preacher. “Dur ing tho past month 1 havo not burned a foot of gas, and no. one has been In my house within that time. It Is a mistake.” "It can't bo n mistake,” said tho gas offlclnl. "The chnrgo Is based upon the accurate reading of your meter. There Is tho man who read It," The meter render, assured and conftdent, came for ward to confirm the story. An Idea struck tho preacher. "You say you read my meter?" hp asked of the sub ordinate. "1 surely did?" was the reply. "And that Is what It registered.” "Did you rend It yourself?" "Yes.” "You went In my bouse and read the meter during the month charged In this bill." "Of course I did," said tho subordinate, growing im patient, while tho official blandly smiled. "Very well, then,” Bntd the preacher with decision. I know how to act now.” Across the street was a police man. The preacher knew hint and called him over. "Make a case against this man,” said he, "upon a charge of breaking and ontoring. He has Just confessed to having entered my house during tho past month. have becu gone during that period. My house was locked mid nailed up. No human being could have entered It without breaking locks or windows. No matter the motive. 1 demand a case against him upon his own con fession for breaking and entering my hottse during my absence.” And (ben there was explaining In voluble style, and hot haste In protesting Innocence, and a very small delay in altering the month’s gns bill to suit the facts. This Is the story as It was told to us. It is a good story, and we have no sort of question that It will uppeal vividly to the personal experience of hundreds of people In Atlanta who have passed through Incidents somewhat skin to the preacher’s story. Things like 'his In lesser degree have happened be fore. They are likely to happen again. The only way to break them Is to make haste in falling In with the Municipal Ownership League. Send In your name as hundreds havo already done. Persuade your friends to do so, nnd it won’t'be long before this great lighting corporation will be run hy the people and for the people, nnd such Incidents of injustice will bo Im possible. The Municipal Ownership League Is growing uperbly. It Is bound to win. Meanwhile until wo eau bring a permanent reform to this Institution, Is It not possible for the city council to authorize the appointment of some official expert whose duty tt will be to give a fair and accurate reading, and a fair and accurate report of the light actually used by the consumer from month to month. It ts certainly not right to trust the whole thing to a monopoly whoso tactics do not justify the full confidence of the people. Protect the people from the monopoly until the people can own it. Protect the people from hasty and Inaccurate regis ters. Let the registers he read by an impartial expert as It Is done In other cities. The Compliment to Mr. Maddox. It was a brilliant and well deserved compliment which Fulton county has paid to Robert F. Maddox in the su perb vote by which he was chosen to the county board of commissioners. With a rigorous campaign conducted with ceaseless energy by two active and energetic competitors, It was something more than an ordinary compliment to have elected Mr. Maddox by a vote more than twice as large as that of both of his competitors combined. Such a tribute Is the best of all commenta upon a thoroughly clean, upright and public spirited career. Mr. Maddox has done good service In every relation of life which he has sustained to &e people of Atlanta aftd Ful ton county. The people,'who are always so much wiser and more observant than they get credit for being, take these occasions now and then to express In magnificent majorities the measure of their confidence and regard for a good citizen and a faithful public servant. Commissioner McLendon. Our congratulations are extended to the Hon. 8. Q. McLendon upon his practically unanimous selection to the office of railroad commissioner. Mr. McLendon has- waited long before asking an office at the hands pf this people, and even In this case the nomination came to him practically unsought. But his long equipment, his high character, stainless Integrity and his broad and liberal temper, have won him his rich reward fn this splendid ex pression of popular confidence and regard. CHAS. L. CH0SEW00D WRITES CARD ABOUT PARK RESOLUTIONS MEN AND WOMEN. I)r. Kopff, of Konifttuhl, has discovered a new comet by moans of a photograph. The plate was taken on Au gust 22. Dr. Andrew Morrissey, chosen provincial of the gen eral chapter of the Holy Cross Order, was for thirteen years president of Notre Dame University, Indiana. The following card has been received from Councilman Charles L. Chose- wood: To the Editor of The Georgian: In your issue of yesterday appears an article evidently inspired by some one who had a motive in seeking its publication, that does me an injustice. For those who know the facts In the case a correction is unnecessary, but as the public generally may not he fully posted. I ask that you do me the justice to give these facts the same publicity that you did the article that was printed Tuesday. The affairs of the parks of Atlanta have been before tho public in a not particularly envia ble light now for nearly two years and any steps that I may have taken look ing to changes In the present mode of appointing and governing the board have been with an honest view of bet tering the existing conditions. Every interest that I have in the world ts centered^ In the Third ward at and near Grant park, and certainly any thing that tends to its Injury would be damaging to me. For that reason, if not from the standpoint of a citizen who has the Interest of the city at heart and from the standpoint ot an official who has been honored by his people, I should do all In my power to help place the affairs of the parks as goon condition as possible. It Is not true that the original ordi nance allowing the board to be elected by council was put through council secretly.. For proof I offer the following arti cle from The Atlanta Constitution of May 22, 1906, the day after the ordi nance was Introduced: Alderman Holland nnd Councilman Chosewood Introduced in the meeting of the general council yesterday after noon nn ordinance taking out of the hands of the mayor the appointment of the members of the park board. "There was so much discussion about the park board last year, and on pre vious occasion, that the ordinance did not come as n surprise. Both Alderman Holland and Coun cilman Chosewood reside In the Third ward, in which is located Grant park. ‘The ordinance creates a board of park commissioners consisting of seven members, the mayor and the chairman of the council park committee to con stitute two of the seven ex-ofllclos. "The members of the hoard are to he elected for a term of five years. Next fall, if the ordinance becomes a law, one momber will be elected for one year, one for two years, one for three years, one for four years and one for flve years. The elections thereafter will be for flve years, ono commissioner to be elected every year. "As the ordinance had to be referred to the ordinance committee and will not be acted upon until the next meet ing of the council, there was no dis cussion of it; but It is believed It will create some lively debates before it is passed. "Alderman Holland and Councilman Chosewood believe such a board Is needed, and they think the ordinance will be passed by council." It Is true that I was not the success fill bidder for the concession at the park two years ago. But It Is Just as true that a few weeks prior to the introduction of the drdlnnnce the concession had been re- let for a period of five years, and* I was not even a bidder for the conces sion. It Is not true that no one holding a city office Is eligible to election. The only grain of truth In the state ment on this subject Is that no one holding any other office can also hold one of these places at the same time. It is hot true that the reporters of the local papers did not get this piece of news, as will be observed by reading the article above from The Constitu tion, and those following from The Journal and News: "An ordinance by Alderman Holland and Councilman Chosewood, creating a board of park commslsloners, consist ing of seven members, two of whom are to be the mayor nnd the chairman of the council committee on parks, and the other flye to be elected by the gen eral council. Referred to the commit tee on ordinances."—Journal. "Alderman Holland and Councilman Chosewood Introduced a proposed or dinance taking from the mayor ap pointment of park commissioners and making them elective. The board is to consist of seven members. "The ordinance provides that the mayor and chairman of the council park committee shall be ex-officio members. The others are to be elected —one foivone, two, three, four and five years, respectively. One commissioner Is to be elected annually. "It is believed that it will pass. The proposed ordinance was referred to the ordinance committee."—News. After the foregoing showing as to the Incorrectness of the article In quea tlon I do not think It worth while t< discuss the motives of Alderman Hol land and myself for Introducing the ordinance, or mine for Introducing the repealing ordinance. As to the connection of Councilman OJdknow with the matter, I fall to see where he comes In. At the time that I lost the concession at Grant park he was not a member of the board, as the city attorney had ruled he could not be a member and at the same time hold his seat in council. He Is not now a member of the board, as Mayor Woodward did not see fit to reappoint him at the beginning of the year, he has any interest In the matter I am not aware of It. I hope that I will be pnrdoned for this rather long state ment, but feel that I would be doing myself nn Injustice If I failed to make Thanking you for your courtesy, I Yours truly, e. L. 0H08fcW00D, Councilman Third Ward. SCORE OF FIREMEN i GOSSIP I New York, Oct. 4.—While fighting fire in an unoccupied two-story frame house at Ozone Park, L I., early today. 20 members of the volunteer company were burled unde;* blazing debris when the floor above and the roof fell In. Five were seriously Injured. WOMAN VISITING HERE DIES VERY SUDDENLY Mrs. D. C. Harper, age 60 years, of Mfllford, Texas, died unexpectedly Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock at the residence of her brother, T. B. Law* rence, near Lakewood. Mr. and Mrs. Harper, with their daughter, Miss Marguerite, had come to Atlanta two months ago on a visit to relatives In Atlanta and Georgia, and were intending to return to their Texas home Wednesday evening, when the death of Mrs. Harper occurred. Mrs. Harper had not enjoyed the best of health for the past few months, but was not confined to her bed. Bright’s disease was the cause of her death. Mr. Harper is a native of Georgia, apd went to Texas thirty years ago, where he has accumulated a fortune in stock raising. The body will be sent to Texas Thursday evening at 8 o’clock. STATE FA IE TO OPEN IN SEVEN DAYS WITH PLENTY OF EXHIBITS It Is now less than a week be fore the big show opens, and from present Indications the Georgia State fair to be held nt Piedmont park from October 16 to October 20 will be one of the flrst of the big exhibitions to open on time, with everything ready to see. Next Wednesday, October 10, the ten days of horse show matinees and ex hibitions of every kind of thing grown In Georgia, not to mention the dally alr-shlp cruising In anything short of gale, will be under way, and the work of the fair officials will have been completed so far as the preparation of sights la concerned. Messrs. A. G. White, of Bartow coun ty; J. R. Miller, of Bulloch county, and G. McNalley, of DeKalb county, are now on the ground, doing their best to get their exhibits together In such to capture the blue ribbon. They are putting their displays In the old Government building. The exhibition of flne live stock will be about the most striking feature of the display. Entries of flne stock from nil over the South, nnd. In some cases, from many Eastern states, have been registered. The premiums In the cattle depart ment are especially enticing. The American Jersey Cattle Club has offer ed $1,000 to be competed for by Jerseys south of the cattle quarantine line. hich runs near the southern Tennes see line. The field Is thus restricted the St. Louis and Portland expositions. Breeders have, therefore, taken advan tage of the opportunity to show th%ir flne stock at the Georgia fair. Chicken coops have taken the place of tan bark in the building where the indoor horse shows have been held heretofore. This poultry show Is pro nounced by fanciers to be about the best in the South, and, considering the season, the quality of fowls shown ranks well with nny anywhere. Last year 2,200 birds were exhibited, but this year the number has been in creased by several hundred. Vice President Horace F. Smith, of the Nashville, Chattanooga and Ht. Louis railway, has been asked by the management of the fair to act as one of the Judges of the horse show. Sir Thomas Lipton was asked to act in this capacity some time since. Most of the racing on the bill will ntests between runners, as the i Dawson' DELEGATESARE NAMED TDEARMERS'CONGRESS At the request nt Ilarvle Jordan, Governor Terrell has named the fol lowing delegates from Georgia to the Farmers’ National Congress at Rock Island, III., October 9 to 13: Hon.

Ne’wr York, Oct. 4.—The Railway Mall Clerks' Association has discov ered so many "gray beards" In Its membership that an appeal to congress to solve the old age problem Is under Consideration by the convention, now in session in Chicago. Discrediting the Dr. Osier theory that a man who has reached the age of forty-five Is useless, the clerks feel con fident that they have found a field for ’superannuated" government postal employees. They propose to ask con gress to make a postmaster out of each clerk who has reached the age limit. Another Idea embraced a pension plan, but this did not gain so much favor with the clerks. If the clerks decide to push their scheme, the movement necessarily will follow the regular official channels. By the rules of all government depart ments, employees are forbidden from petitioning congress directly. They may appeal through their superior of ficials, however, without violating the regulations. Howard Heinz, son of H. J. Heinz, the millionaire pickle man, and vice president of his father's big company, surprised his friends by a secret wed ding, marrying Miss EllzAbeth Rust, a beautiful heiress of Saginaw, Mich. An exact counterpart of the wedding supper was said to have been given for the 1,500 employees of the Heinz es tablishment In honor of the nuptials. Miss Esther Lewis, daughter of the late Colonel Daingerfleld Lewis, of "Audley," Clark county. Virginia, a blood relative of General Washington and great-granddaughter of Nellie Park Custls. was married at Christ Protestant Episcopal church, Winches ter, Va., last evening to Dr. Alexander Wiley Moore, ot New York city. There may be better paid professions than physician t,o the "400." but they would be hard to find. For flve days* attendance on Mrs. John Jacob Astor, while she was 111 in Boston, Dr. J. S. Stevens, of Beacon street, received a check for $5,000. There were three other Boston physicians besides Dr. Austin Flint, Jr., ot New York, her personal physician, in attendance on the leader of the "400." The size of their checks does not appear, but they were doubtless all of them for pro portionate amounts. Declaring that another had stolen the affections of the bride he had won, Dr. Lee PeForest, vice president of the American DeForest wireless telegraph, has brought suit for a divorce from the wife he married less than eight months ago. He names Dewitt C. Flanagan, millionaire president of Flanagan, Nay & Co. The wedding of the DeKorests was notable affair In the Hotel St. Regis, i February 15, last. Mrs. DeFor- t was Miss Lucille Sheardown. the 17-year-old daughter of Mrs. J. T. Sheardown, of tills city. Dr. DeForest, whose inventions have made him fa mous in the scientific world, met Miss Sheardown at a reception less than a year ago. « He fell in love immediate ly. He explained to her the myste ries of wireless telegraphy. In a short time he had installed a wireless In strument In her home, and they ex- hanged messages dally. Then he pro posed by wireless and was accepted. It In asserted that five months after their wedding DeForest learned that Flanagan was paying ardent attentions to his wife, and they quarreled and separated. Friends of Sinclair Upton, author of "The Jungle,” are authority for the statement that he is to ihtrtray one ot the characters In the play written from bis book. Tho rdle to which he l|as been assigned Is Ostrlnskl, a young workman In a Chicago packing house. He considers that he Is thoroughly competent to portray the part, for dur ing the work of preparing his book he resided for aevep weeks In Packing- town. While this Is Mr.' Sinclair's flrst appearance on the professional stage, he had ample experience In Columbia University amateur productions, and Is said to have been considered a good character actor. From the statements made by the president of Bryn Mavvr College, Miss M. Corey Thomas, to the 120 young women forming the fresh woman class of that Institution, the hazing In col leges for women will compare most favorably or perhaps unfavorably with that formerly in vogue In West Point. Miss Thomas says: "Dyrn Mawr College has been free of the rougher forms of hazing. At some of our sister colleges nearby the custom ot tearing oft clothes, putting under the pump nnd stamping on heads prevails. This seems to be necessary to the order classmen. •i place a baser on the same plane with a person who hurts birds or tor tures kittens or Injures hables." Miss Thomas Is correct. Any person who would stamp on a young lady's head would be unkind to kittens. GEORGIANS IN GOTHAM. Hon. it. Maxwell, Dan- Kirmans, Homer- lion. Ben Milikin, Jesup; Hon. Barron, Clinton; Hon.

R. Scrugaham, manager of the policy- holders' International committee. "This Is proven by the testimony all over the world," said Mr. Scrugaham. "We believe that there are now en gaged in campaigning for the admin istration ticket more than 5,000 agents and special representatives, and any one who U familiar with the campaign work knows that it is impossible to keep a man fn the field for less than $10 per day.

COMPLETE NEW COLLEGE BY FIRST OF THE YEAR Spoelnl to The Georgian Waycross, Ga., Oct. 4.—The contrac tors are now making good headway on the construction work on the new Bap tist College, which Is to be located on t’herokee Heights. In this city. The foundation for the main building has been completed and work has also started on the dormitories. The col lege building will be one of the hand somest structures In the city.* It will stand on a hill overlooking the eastern part i»f the city.
