Parsons, Residents on Mangum street, be tween West Mitchell and West Hun ter streets, are thoroughly aroused be cause the handsome two-story home at 120 Mangum street lias been rented to a negro woman for a negro boarding hmp!e. without the chance even being given to a white person to secure It. Tho residence is probably the most commodious and desirable In the entire block. It Is In a strictly white settle ment, bclpg next door to the home of Rev. A. C. Ward, pastor of the Temple Baptist church. The negro woman who lias rented It for a boarding house Is Casslc Stephens. The residents of that block, Dr. War] states, are getting ready 1 to move out .lust as soon as arrangements can pos sibly be made. He says the whole neighborhood is up and In antis against the action of W. E. Wimpy In renting the residence for a negro boarding house. "To Colored Paoplo Only." Kor an entire week there has been appearing In one of the Atlanta papore tho following advertisement, displayed conspicuously In big type: For rent to colored peoplo only—120 Mangum street, two doors from Mitch ell, elegant two-story house, newly painted and papered and In flrat-class condition. To party who will run a tlrst-olass colored boarding house, price *15.00 per month. Cheap at three times tho price. Sec property and address I*. O. box 351. If satisfactory refer ences given will back tenant for an/ teasonable amount." The adveitlsoinent Is peculiar In sev eral respects, and an Investigation was made. Several residents In tho neigh borhood were seen end all stated that it was done because W. E. Wimpy, Hi with Mr. Ward for causing me to leave." Dr. Ward Emphatic. Dr. Ward denounced the action In strong terms. "I can't see," he said, "how It could be anything but spite. Why should Mr. Wimpy advertise this house for *15 a month, when It had blen bringing *40? Why should ho advertise It for negroes only, and why should he be so anxious to rent It to negroes that he ofTera to back them up? •‘The neighbors are all making ar rangements to move out. We Shall pe tition the city government to do some thing to protect us, If that Is possible. My church will certainly take action tomorrow, and will probably bring suit against Mr.. Wimpy for the deprecia tion of the value of the church prop erty, because of the negro boarding house. •'I never heard of such a trick before. It's awful.” As it representative of The Georgian passed the negro boarding house a woman was heard to say: “Tho man who rertted that house to negroes ought to be hung. "I tried to get. that house a week ago at u much higher figure,” she explained, "and he said he wouldn't let me have It for *101) per month, for lie wanted negroes to live there, I asked him why, and he said because I wouldn't stay there as long as negroes would." Business Transection. Mr. Wimpy, In a telephone conversa tion, Insisted that It was purely a bus iness transaction. "I put the ad. in to attract attention. I have rented the house for a long time, and nt a good figure. White people don't want to stay there with the railroad shutting up the streets and all the smoke and dust Incident to the coming railway line. It was purely a °: vn n wm, ^^TVaTwho'Vcs bu“s prop£.t.om' and no personal even with Re\, A. C. Waid, who lives an , moj „ y or grievance had anything to do with It.” Cnsste Stephens, the negro woman who rented the residence for a boarding next door. Tills Mr. Wimpy strenuously denies. He says It Is purely n business proposi tion. He says that tho coming of the Atluntu. Birmingham and Atlantic rail way right nenr the door will destroy that section of the city as a lit abode for white people, and he wanted to rent this house right away to negroes. / Had Paid *40. Mrs. Carrie Matthews, a widow, win ran a boarding house there, until about ten days ago, says she paid *40 per month for the home. It was nothing but spite." she said, "as can be seen on reading the nd. „ ........... “I ran 11 boarding house there sev- Stipei intentient of Summerville and ; oral months.

This workman, was charged with the special duty of holding a guy rope, which controlled the entire proceed ings. When the big girder was several feet In the air the man with tfie guy rope probably began to wonder what the result would be if the girder should fell. And then, with a view of satisfy. Ing his curiosity, the workman, with* 6ut any warning whatever, suddenly let go the rope. As the girder landed the man- who had turned loose the rope proceeded to “light a rag."

Several hours of hard work had been required to get the girder In readiness for hoisting, uml all of this work had to be gone over again after tho acci dent.
