While the Southeastern Coal Dealers were discussing Wednesday morning the ^recent trouble In Atlanta by the Southern refusing to promptly switch Louisville and Nashville coal cars to Its private tracks, the statement was made that this difference had been set tied. "How?" asked Secretary W. Plane. .... "Why, by the Southern agreeing to handle such cars to Its private sidings and trackage for 35 cents per ton.” The opinion was emphatically ven tured that the railroad commission would veto any* such arrangement, In asmuch as that body had a fixed and definite charge of $2 per car for such service. Recently the railroad commission de elded that the new Steed act gave It authority to compel switching to bo done promptly, with a penalty of $1 per day for delays. The session of the coal dealers on Wednesday was sllnily attended. Home two hundred delegates, at least, from the five states comprising the associa tion, were expected, bul not over 30 were here.

WHAI GEORGIAN READERS HA VE 7 0 SA Y ON A VARIETY OF INTERESTING QUESTIONS SOME STRONG POINTED QUESTIONS. To the Editor of The Georgian: Please pardon me for taking the lib erty of addressing you, but as a citizen of the grand old state of Georgia I think It my duty to say something In behalf of our Southern women. I notice that Governor Terrell has of fered some $2,000 dn rewards tor the apprehension and conviction of those Implicated In the recent rioting In At lanta: a fund of some $5,000 has been raised .In your city for the families of the negroes killed by the rioters: at mass meeting the Judge of the superior court and the grand jury has erfeh de nounced in severe terms mob law and the murder of unoffending blacks. All this Is well enough, but looks one sided. What raised the mob? Where are the rewards amounting to thousands for the arrest and conviction of the vile ravlshers, Vhose bestial pas sions roused the fury of the mob? Where Is the fund, $6,000 and grow ing, raised to hire detectives, buy In formation and otherwise ruit down, ar rest and bring tp prlai; the demons of mankind from this gathering of At lanta’s little ones. Close attention was the children’s ex pression of their appreciation of this pleasure as they listened to stories based on the oM folk-lore tales of Ger many. The Friday afternoon story hour is Intended primarily for the little chil dren.'but all children are welcomed. ‘Every Tuesday afternoon Is devbtea to the older children, and a series of stories on art has been planned, which It is hoped will prove a source of both pleasure.and help to them.

AFTER SENATOR BENJAMIN TILLMAN'S SUGGESTION To the Editor of The Georgian: During this exciting period much has been said and done In reference to re lieving the tension of the present situ ation and I.am sure a solution would be eagerly accepted by the general public and the mind suggesting the remedy should be entitled to the thanks of the entire nation. Having studied the situation careful ly and noticed that nine-tentha of the crimes committed of every nature by both whites and negroes come? from the Idle and vagrant class which under our free and unrestricted rights grant? ed to every' American citizen It seems’ Impossible to prevent, where a person so disposed. I have prepared a form which I en close for your consideration which I think If advocated by The Georgian and is generally used In every town and community It will be the means of sifting the chaff from the wheat and everybody, white and black, old and young, male and female, will get to work and there will be no time to lay around dens of vice and their Idle brains will no longer have time to think up and put Into execution their vile crimes, they will have other things to do and nobler thoughts. There will be no Idle negroes to com mit the crime of rape. There will be no use for mobs or time for riots. The low dives and barrooms and gambling dens will close for want of Idle vag rants that patronize such places. The house wife will no longer worry for a good cook or wash woman as there are plenty and all would be ready fbr Work. The farmer would no longer puzzle his brains here to get his hands and have to sit up all night and watch what lit tle he had to prevent It‘walking off, but good labor would be plentiful and It ould not be changing every time they got a little advance. The good wife would no longer look In vain for her worthless lord to re turn, or have f fly out of a back win dow when the worthless old cuss did arrive full of whisky and abuse after midnight, but would meet her loving husbund with a smile and a kiss on bis return from an honest day’s work with money nnd necessities for their comfort and pleasures. Everybody would work, even "fath-, er." anil the world would grow brighter and happier every succeeding day for the "bees" would not have to work In mortal dreud of the attaet from the drone” upon his "home" nnd "store." I am no prophet, but If this require ment was made a law and used In con nection with the Calvin vagrancy law, the problem would be solved. I understand this or about the same requirement Is used In Germany and everv one there has an identity and how much more necessary a require ment of this kind Is needed where there is such a large class of ignorant negroes that have no home, no ties, no responsibility and hence so much law lessness among that class that fall as a heavy burden upon the good nnd work ing members of their race that have to bear the responsibility and censure hen tills remedy would make them all this working class and would apply well to the whites that give all the tnmble and commit all the crimes chargeable to their race.

NORTHERN PEOPLE AND NORTHERN NEWSPAPERS. Atlanta. Ga., Oct. 11, 1906. Editor The Georgian, Atlanta: Deai^ Sir; I read your editorial last night in reference to giving too much attention to public opinion from out side sources in dealing with the South's problems and heartily agree with you In many things you say. I am of the opinion myself that the negro ques tion can never be settled as you want It settled—through segregation, coloni zation or transportation—without mak ing It a national question. And in or der that anything can be accomplished in a national way, It will be necessary to Interest all the people of the coun try in your problem and enlist their sympathies. I do not believe this would be such a difficult thing to accomplish if It were taken up and pushed with some sys tem. It Is 'merely a matter of adver tising when it has been analyzed, and you know, as does any other man who has had anything to do with advertis ing, that a few ads placed here and there Infrequently nnd without any re gard to system, will be a waste of the advertiser's money, while a reasonable amount of money placed behind a well- organised advertising campaign will Introduce any article of merit and bring to the advertiser many dollars for every one spent in advertising. I am of ihe belief, therefore, that some well-organized campaign of publicity In the North and East would In a comparatively short time get the minds of the people of the entire country In such a receptive and sympathetic state that they would listen to any plan for the solution of your Southern problem and would back you up In anything practicable that might be suggested. Your statement that the views ex pressed In Northern papers do not rep resent the views of the people as n whole are entirely correct If my ob servation Is worth anything. I ain from the North, and have fol lowed the Northern editorials and news accounts In reference to the late unpleasantness In Atlanta with great Interest. I have seen several very bit ter denunciatory editorials In my home paper, which, In the light of the actual occurrences nnd of the real causes which led up to them, make the expres sion almost comical. But Is the writer of those editorials prejudiced? The an swer Is contained in the statement that he. In common with th4 editors of many of our Northern papers, was a union soldier, crippled in health, xyarped and prejudiced by the suffer ings and hardships through which he passed In fighting for a cause which lie considered a holy one, and for which he would gladly have laid down his life. Ho was all right at heart, for he was fighting for what to him were his principles, but I doubt not that he cannot write editorially on any sub ject touching those principles without exhibiting prejudice. I was greatly amused after having read some of his moot severe condem nations of the Atlanta affair to pick up my home paper .a few days since and read In It an account of an affair which nearly terminated In something as re grettable as did the one we witnessed here. . It seems that two negroes were standing on a corner of this Northern city—a place of about 35,000—when a little white boy, of perhaps 10 years, came along. Something transpired to arouse the wrath of the negroes, and they slapped the boy in the face. He Informed several white men, and they at once started to punish the negroes. A crowd soon formed and before any body could think the second time, there were 250 angry men chasing the negroes down the alleys with cries of "Kill them." "Lynch them," etc. Happily the two particular negroes got out of sight before the mob caught them, and there were so few In the city that others did not happen to come along at that Juncture, or per haps our worthy editor would have had demonstrated before his eyes how easily a mob can be formed and how It will vent Its spleen on any member of the race that happens to come along. He might have had more sym pathy with Atlanta had this occurred. Your challenge to Northern editors to And you u single Northerner who has lived In the South for a year without becoming thoroughly converted to your way of thinking on the negro question, or, forever to hold their peace, will certainly take the wind out of their sails. I have been a resident of the South for less than six months, and have talked to many more who are here under similar circumstances, and have yet to find one of my kind who Is not thoroughly In accord with your people on this subject.' During the recent disturbance 1 came In contact with many Northerners nt the Piedmont, who, while deprecating the riots, did not hesitate to express their entire and hearty appreciation for the terrible causes which led up to them, and their deep sympathy with your people In this great negro question; You published a communication from me some'time since, In which I called attention to tne fact that Northern people are almost wholly dependent on newspapers for their accounts of these troubles; that they only hear one side of the story, and never hear of the awful condition which leads up mobs and lynchlngs; that they hear nothing at all about the troubles un less something particularly horrible or exciting occurs; that the newspapers are fn turn dependent on Southern correspondents for their stories of these affairs, which are usually made more sensational than Is necessary In order to fill up space and make a "good story.” And now In the light of recent events, I want to ask you If there Is not a good field for missionary work among these Southern correspondents. Sincerely yours. „ OTTO G. TAGUE. case the dnogi ir community. There are two pluses ery white woman In the situation which must he considered: . First. What Immediate preeoutinns should l»e taken to prevent nnd avenge, within the limits of the law. crimes of assault In the Immediate future? . ... • Second. What, If ony. are the ultimate measures which will eventually control the situation that the perpetration of such crimes will cease? Georgians have shown their willingness to spend their blood, their health and their time In tracking down the perpetrators of nameless wrongs. Are they willing, in any large sense, to spend their money? (audi tions In northern cities are undoubtedly safer then la Atlanta, for they do uat hare this terrible crime to coutend with, but. assuming Atlanta's present population at 120.600, If It bad the same number of po licemen proportionately as Chicago, tbei would be 204 men on the force. To equal Boston It should have 260 men. • To equal Washington, I). C.. It shflul have 296 men. It Is certain that, for all practical pu. poses. Atlanta Is without polle patrol pro tection. except In the central portion of the city: Nearly every citizen could. If necessary, give many Instances of police In efficiency, due not to lack of ability or dis cipline, but to lack of the necessary num ber of men to do effective work. The force should he large enough to patrol'on foot several times each day every block In the city. At present, members of the force hare not hesitated to say that, on horse- back or wheel, they cau not patrol their entire beat once a day. The actual num ber of policemen necesasry to efficiently patrol our streets cau oply be told after obtaining accurate comparative Informa tion from other cities, but under present conditions It Is probably between 350 nml 400 men, Instead of about 150, as at pres ft lory In this country, and Information a* to Its constitution, duties and uumbera could readily be obtained. The very beat organization of this kind In .the world Is probably the rural guard of Spain, ’through he good offices of the federal state de- Mirtiuent and of our minister to flpalu, ac urate Information regarding It could doubt* leas lie quickly secured. ■ , . Lastly, as regards Immediate needs. Is the better fighting of our stretes at night.

The next three propositions (d. e and f), must 1m* considered together.

This ob jection. though valid, would nave far lost force If all raembera of the race were so educated, for one of the main causes of the academically educated negro’s unwil lingness to make himself truly useful lies in the fart that he Is puffed with conceit because of his fancied Intellectual supe riority to other member* of Ws race,' and this conceit operate* even In his dcnllugs with the whites. Were they nil educated, this feeling would not exist nnd the law of neceaslty would replace, on our farms nnd In nttr kitchens, a less with n more In telligent people. The Industrially educated negro Is open, with rare exceptions, to no such objections, however, and It Is along this line that we should work.
