Boley Daniels' Plea.
It la hoped that the application for
pardon now* being made by Boley Dan
J«*J* a negro convict who Is gening a
life sentence at Norton Station,
Kalb county, will commend Itaelf to the
prison commission. In 1891, at Amcr
cua. the negro Daniels was convicted
it murder in the second degree, and
was recommended to mercy by the jury.
Since that time, although he has never
conceded his guilt, but has protested
vehemently Ida Innocence, he has serv
ed In one or another of the convict
camps jn the state.
The case Is one peculiarly worthy of
the consideration of the commission.
Elf teen years a convict, Dunlels has
been exemplary in his conduct, while
contending all along. “1 did not kill,
am not guilty,” It Is stated by those
who are Interesting themselves in his
pardon that the constitution of the ne*
gro has been undermined by the rig
orous labor and discipline of the con
vict. camp, and that but few years of
•ervice to the state can remain for him
to render. Apd yonder at Rhine. In
Dodge county, his mother, who Is 75
years old, calls on the Lord with the
fanatical zeal ©f the negro to* perform
one of His, miracles and release her
son from the stripes.
'‘Fifteen years is a long time to wait
for mercy! It seems as If I could not
stand It much longer, but must die If
I am not released.” Bo reads the plea
of Boley' Daniels. The case calls for
no aantlmentnllxltyg, but cries aloud
for Justice. If the negro Is guilty of
tputder tti the second degree, he Is en
titled by fifteen years of hard labor
and excellent deportment, by falling
health, and by the sufferings of an aged
mother to thoughtful consideration
from the prison commission; while If
he should be, as he has always main
tained, innocent of the crime charged
to him, the pardon granted him would
not atone for that fallibility In human
Justice which has condemned the In
nocent to suffer for the guilty and has
laid upon a human life, crude and low
ly though it be, the black shadow of the
prison stripe.

THE FEE SYSTEM AGAIN.
'if the county official* were All placed on aalarlea, and the feea now re
ceived wejje turned into the county treasury, it la eatfnmted that something
like $40,000, probably even more, would be annually saved to the taxpayer*
•it this eountv.”
Bo said the September term of the Fulton county grand jury In Ita pre
sentments to the judge of the superior court That statement waa the result
of the Investigation and thought of twenty-three of Atlanta's brainiest and
most successful business men. Their mimes are synonyms of success.

What they say about the fee system is to be taken as a sane, sound ex-
Messlon of business sense, and not an attack on individuals.
Aa a business proposition, there can be brought against It not one scin
tilla of logic or argument.
The proposition Is this;
Fulton county is giving away at least 94U.OOO of money to Individual*.
This is the result of the maintenance of the fee system for officials, a relic
of mediaeval days. i
The time has come for this wanton waste of money to cease. It Is time
for the jieople of Fulton county and the people of Georgia to awaken to the
criminal folly of this system, which puts Into the pockets of individuals a
small fortune each year, for which no equivalent Is received.
Fulton county secured last year from Its taxpayers the net sum of
1320,000 for Us expenses.
Put the waste due to the fee system at the absurd minimum of 940,000.
If this 940,000 saving, over and above fair salaries to he paid to the .
county officials, be put In the county •ottera. Jt woujd be possible to reduce
the county tax rate exactly 12 1-2 pet- cent. In other words, where a citizen
now pays to the county 9100 In taxes, he would,'"if the fee sysjpni were
abolished, pay only 997.50. - - -
Grand juries have for years,been attacking and assailing this systgm,
but nothing has resulted. It Is now |bout time for an awakening on the
part of the taxpayers.
Head what the grand Jury further says; .
“This vicious system seems strongly Intrenched as ever, the mem-
her* of the legislature from this county having absolutely Ignored the re
peated recommendations of the various grand juries during all these years.
“Jf the county executive committee could be induced to submit the*
question to a vote of the people, we feel sure that an overwhelming ma
jority of the votes would set the seal *»f their disapproval and Condemna
tion on the system, but up to this time each succeeding county executive
committee has declined to so submit the question.
it Is a curious situation and really a travesty on republican Institutions,
that n few men should be able, year after year, to thwart what seems' to
be the almost unanln^us wish of the voters of the county.”
Let the citizens demand a right to vote on this question.

HEABST WINS TWO SKIRMISHES.
The campaign for the governorship of New York shifts to Gotham,
where the two leaders will wage their final battle.
Both Mr. Hearst nnd Mr. Hughes have deserted'the qp-state and will
light it out In Greater New York. •
Just aa this takes place. Mr. Hearst has won two skirmishes which
presage his ultimate victory.
The first was the decision of the court of appeals In sustaining the
validity of the Independence League's Judgeship nominations and ruling that
their names shall be placed on the official ballot.
The other Is the announcement made by the notorious Pat McCarren
that I)lck Croker has cabled his best wishes to the Hughes cause.
That eminent and aelf-eXIled statesman, the Honorable Richard Croker,
has done the righteous* Mr. Hughes an Incalculable Injury by tendering
him his best wishes.
Meanwhile, Messrs. Ryan, Morgan nnd others of the I’lunderbund are

AUDITORIUM-ARMORY SECURED.
On the afternoon of Friday, October 5, there assembled a few of At
lanta's representative citizens who decided that a large auditorium-armory
was needed In this city. Public announcement was made two days later.
At i o'clock on the afternoon of Wednesday, October 31, the entire
sum needed for this project, 9350,000, had been subscribed, and there, was
an over-subscription of 94,000.
This Is th« little way Atlanta has of doing things.

Right here, it may be said in passing,
there exists an Interesting point for
students of constitutional law to‘con

does not), there would he a question as
to whether the treaty werb constitu

to the constitution of the United States
only "all treaty* made, or which shul!

United States, shall be the supreme
law of the land.” The argument may
lie made that this treaty of 1894 Is no
more potent than an act of congress
an*i that unless It adheres In every
particular to the constitution, It Is not
under the authority vf the United
States.” And there are good grounds
for attacking Its constitutionality.

NEGROES BOUGH7 STOCK:
DIVIDENDS FAILED TO COME
Thirty-three negroes, who say .they
have been swindled by New York cor
porations into believing that with the
investment of a few dollars they could
retire on theJr incomes by a scheme
by which "the educated negro will no
more return to laborious occupations,’*
have filed suit In the superior court to
get theJr money, back.
It is alleged In the suit filed through
McDaniel, Alston & Black that through
collusion between the Metropolitan
Mercantile nnd Realty Company, of
York, and the Metropolitan Mu
tual Renellt Association, of New York,
the money of the negroes tiling the suit
s been taken and used Illegally.
The literature of the two companies
has a picture of the American Tract

which tHey are asked to make Invest

stockholder In the companies would
have would be to hold hfs Incomedown.

They claim that they were given the

ELECTRIC COMPANY
10 WIDEN STREETS
The council committee on electric
and other railways held a meeting
Wednesday afternoon, but adjourned
before taking Anal action on the peti
tion of the Atlanta and Carolina Con
struction Company for franchises.
It Is the purpose of the company to
build two Interurban trolley lines out
of Atlanta, one from Atlanta to West
Point nnd the other from Atlanta to
Conyers. The petition Is being fought
by residents of several streets on the
proposed light of way, mainly on the
ground that the streets are too narrow
for more tracks to be laid on them.
The line objected to Is on Rawson,
Pulliam and Grant streets. A number
of citizens nnd lawyer* appeared to
voice this objection. Attorneys B. V.
Carter and Courtland Winn, In advo
cating the petition, stated that the
company had already gone to great ex-
fiense, having purchased steel mils and
secured a right of way In the country.
The company agreed to widen Raw-
son and Glenn streets, where the thor-
oughfuYes were narrow, and at Us own
expense.
The committee Hill meet again tills
week, to take action on the petition.

"Suffer little children, and forbid
them not, to come unto me; for of
such Is the kingdom of heaven.”
Neither earth nor heaven has ever
witnessed that wfylch is more beautiful
than the Innocence of childhood.
Never a day but that I look Into the
bright and smiling faces of happy clitl4
dren, and for the time being forget that
life Is not all sunshine and happiness,
losing sight of the cares and perplex
ities that make ii burdensome. But,
again, when I see the hundreds of oth
ers who are not so favorably situated,
growing up in Ignorance and under
hardships that no child should ever
feel, subjected dally to Influences that
defeat life, robbed of the pleasures of
its sweetest period, of that to which
every child-In this broad land la Just
ly entitled, shutting out forever the
hope of the future (l mean in this life),
amf when I think of the thousands of
Institutions whose chief object Is the
salvation of humanity, and the millfons
and millions of dollars that are being
spent on and through these Institu
tions, I can but conclude that each one
of these little waifs brands every one
of these institutions a farce, and every
home that claims to be patriotic and
Christian a travesty. The future wel
fare of the children of any home de
pends not alone upon what that home
Is doing for Its own children, but also
upon what every other horn© Is doing
for Its children. Of this I shall proba
bly have more to say In the future.
In our treatment of our children there
is one Important matter which is very
generally lost sight of. and that la that
we have no right to rob them of one
iota of Innocent pleasure that Is within
our gift. This Is true not alone be
cause these pleasures add to their hap
pines*, hut also because they are es
sential to the proper development of
the better nature ami all the faculties
that will enable them to see life In its
true light. Human happiness and

A BRACE OF ANCIENT EPITAPHS.
On the twelfth day of July, 1335, half
a century before the Jamestown set
tlement, and sixty years before the Pil
grims landed at Plymouth Rock, a par
ty of French Huguenots landed In the
bay of Rio Janeiro, Brazil. The settle
ment was soon strangled by the Por
tuguese. ColJgny sent out another ex
pedition In 1562, which landed at the
mouth of St. John’s river, Florida, but
later on removed to Port Royal, S. C.
There was established the first actual
settlement on the coast of North
America. This adventure also turned
out to be a failure.
Nothing daunted by these repeated
failures, the Huguenots fitted out a
third expedition, whlon settled detwn at
a point some .eight miles up the St.
John’s river, Florida, where they built
a fort which they named Fort Caro
line.
It was June 25, 1964, when the Hu
guenots established themselves at Fort
Caroline, and the following September
they stood face to face with their doom.
One of the meanest men to whom pow
er was ever delegated, Menendez, the
Spaniard, wak in those parts with a
large fleet and an army of twenty-six
hundred men. It was an age of bitter
religious hates, and Menendez resolved
to extirpate Rlbaut and Ills "heretics,”
He was as good as his word. One
day, when Rlbaut and most of his men
were out on an expedition, Menendez
fell upon the fdrt and massacred every
one of the garrison, some hundred and
sixty In number, saving only part of
the women and children.
loiter on the fury of a great tempest
put the rest of Rtbaut’s men at Menen-
dez’s mercy—the mercy of a Spaniard
of the sixteenth century!—and the rest
Is soon told. Evety one of the more
than five hundred and fifty Hugue
nots was slain—In cold blood—after
they hud surrendered with the prom
ise that theiv lives should be spared.
Above the mangled remains of his
victims the brute caused to be erected
a large sign bearing the inscription:
”1 do this not aa to Frenchmen, but
as to Lutherans and heretics.”
When the news of Menendez’s atroc
ity reached France the court talked a
great deal about it, but did nothing.
The whole terrible affair was In a fair
way to blow over. But a private in
dividual, a Gascon sailor, Dominique de
Gourgues, swore that the business
should be avenged,
Beilin* all Ills property and borrow
ing what he co\ild, Gourgues fitted out
three ships, every one of whom was a
stranger to fear. In August. 1587, he
sailed straight for the Florida coast,
landing some forty miles north of the
St. John’s. The Indians had no love
tor the Spaniards, and three hundred
of t%em joyfully entered into an alli
ance with the Frenchman.
With h!s three hundred red men and
his hundred and fifty Frenchmen Gour
gues pounced upon Fort Caroline and
the four hundred Spaniards.
From ‘ the burning fury of the
ranchmen not a Spaniard escaped.
Remembering the unspeakable brutali
ty of Menendez, the word was. “No
quarter! No mercy to the Spaniard!”
and the resolution was carried out to
the letter.
When the bloody business had been
handsomely finished. Gourgues planted
a post In the midst of the heaps of
slain and nailed to It a plank bearing
this notice:
“Not as to Spaniards, but as to
traitors, robbers and murderers.”
Not in H(s Business.

New York, Nov. L—Through the ef
forts of Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay, the
left arm and probably the life of the
6-year-old son of John Cornell, a car
penter, who lives in the rear of the
Mackay estate have been saved at Ros-
lyn. L I.
Mrs. Mackay/ a few days ago, was
riding through the village when she
saw the boy crying. His arm, which
was bandaged, was causing him great
pain. The mistress of palatiar Harbor
Hill stopped her car and asked the
boy’s name. When she reached home
she Instructed John ©Libby, her head
bookkeeper, to make an Investigation,
and he found that the little fellow a
week ago had shot himself with a re
volver, and that the arm had b»en
bound with a dirty rag after a little
salve had been put on.
The next day the arm was three
times its normal sls^e, and there was
danger of blood ]>olsoning. Mrs. Mack
ay, seeing the boy again, sent for
Agbnt Ludeke, of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty, to Children, who
•took the little fellow to the Society’s
rooms, where un operation was# per
formed.
The mother was arrested and taken
before Judge Rem sen, who paroled her
In the custody of the court officer to
await the outcome of the boy’s injury.

Some declare that Alfred G. Vander

In Syracuse. Is a fiction and will not be.
exhibited at the horse show.
I know a farmer who once paid $ti
for a scrub cow. He washed, combed 1
and rubbed her, fed her on bran mash
es, dosed her, petted her, and In a few
months she was the finest looking cow
In the country. I saw a well-remem
bered race horse hauling an Ice wagon
the other day and earning his feed.
Possibly If you put the Vanderbilt
children in rags as soon as they are
born, leave them In the gutters, neglect
and half starve them, they will become
as the children of the tenements in a
snort time, nnd grow up to be sus
pender peddlers or push cart mer
chants.
In Washington diplomatic circles
there seems to be an oplnon that Baron
Mayor Dc» Planohes may again be re
turned to Washington as Italian am
bassador. He tendered his resignation,
but so far as known It was never ac
cepted nor la there any talk of anyone
being sent to relieve him. His private
effects still remain at the embassy, and
there Is a feeling that he will return
to Washington even if only temporally.
Another Interesting rumor in the di
plomatic corps coming from Washing
ton, is that the Mexican embassy may
be removed from its present location
In I street, between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets to the northwest,
probably near the sites selected by the
French and German governments for
building their new embassies. So
much lffnes has attended the Mexican
ambassador* and members of their
families, that, whether unhealthful or-
not, the present embassy is at least un
popular. and since the death of two
ambassadors in succession hag become .
much more so. The'German ambassa
dor finds his present quarters Inade
