i \ H|| mmm THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5. 1906. Of CBM TO CITTJRfSONERS Man Appeals to'Mayor Aft er Story of Cruelty in Stockade. For the second time In the last few weeks charges have been brought against the city stockade authorities for cruelty to prisoners. It was only a short while ago that a man who had Just come out of a hos- pltai after live months lying between life and death waa sent to the stockade on the charge of being drunk. This man was working on a steel structure In Birmingham, when he fell about forty feet to the hard pavement below, his head striking an Iron beam. His skull was fractured. His life was saved but when he came out his health was broken and the Injury to his head subjected him to epileptic fits. While In Atlanta on his way to his home In Norfolk, Va., he took several drinks, which precipitated a fit on the streets, he states. He waa given a sentence at the stqckade, and was made to work out there in his terrible condi tion until the stockade physician, upon, learning that he had had a lit at the stockade, ordered him released. The latest charge is .brought by a man whose ndme is withheld because he fears that if it is learned that he had been to the stockade for being drunk he would lose his position. This man's right hand is swollen to twice its normal slse, and his left hand Is cut. The swollen hand Is bruised severely, and the skin Is torn in several places. He was given a sentence of twenty- one davs In the stockade for being drunk nnd disorderly. He began his sentence on October IS. He charges that he was worked so hard that his hand became bruised and swollen. _ ' "I pleaded with the authorities." he told the mayor Wednesday morning, "not to make me work in my condition, but Mr. Grogan, the head guard, Just told me to get in line. I had to work several days when my hand was throb bing nnd paining me almost to death, even more than It does now. “Finally, I Just had to refuse to go to work. I couldn't stand it any longer. Two days before my sentence expired I was turned out. Now I am In such a llx that I have to appeal to the city to do something for me." t'onmilssloner of Public Works Col lier will, no doubt, make an Investiga tion. FIGHT EXPECTED ' CAPTAIN WORCESTER MYSTERIOUSLY ABSENT Given Month’s Leave of Absence, But Fail ed to Return. ACTION FOLLOWED CHARGES PREFERRED Case Under Investigation at Headquarters in Atlanta. Report Is Awaited. The special session of council, for the purpose of connldcrlnk the pro posed- salary raises anil /of, the pro posal whisky regulations, will be held Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. There will be determined opposition to both of the measures In part. Mem bers of council are practically unani mous In favoring further restrictions of the whisky traffic In the city, but they are sadly divided as to what these regulations % should be. The same applies to the salary raises. Council, as a whole, favors the raising of the salaries of a number of •ffielnls, but the members are almost hopelessly divided, as to who shall get the raises nnd how large they shall be. There Is also opposition to the pro- posed reduction of the salary of the fir** chief from $4,000 to $3,000. Coun- • ilman Terrell Is leading this oppo sition.

Twiggs, of this city, commanding the Third Georgia regiment of Infantry, has received an order from the head quarters of Georgia troops In Atlanta, transferring the military company at Sparta from the Second regiment to the Third regiment. The transfer will be made before the holidays and the Spar ta company will be under the direct command of Colonel Twiggs. The Third Teglment now contains seven compa nies and the 'addition of the Sparta company will, make the number eight. Colonel Twiggs stated In an Inter view that companies are being formed at Monroe, Covington, Conyers and Washington, Ga., and that when all these are added to-the Third regiment as la now planned this regiment will contain twelve companies and will be one of the largest in the state. The lo cal military companies are very pros perous at the present time and the in* terest taken In the drills la greater than ever before. Captain Worcaster Disappears. It Is thought very probable that Company I, Third Georgia, will be without a captain, and may be without one at the presont time. Captain Ru pert Worcester, who was elected to the captaincy of the company several months ago, has had charges preferred against him by Colonel Twiggs and a report on the case has been made to the headquarters in Atlanta. Captain Wor cester was given a leave of absence of a month and action on the case was postponed until he came back. More than a month’s time has elapsed and Worcester has not returned. His wife, whom he left in the city, left here sev eral days ago, so It Is said, and no one seems to know where he or she Is.

The reasons for this remarkable success are: First, because it has the “style” and appearance of sterling. The Community Silver designs are care fully studied. The ornamentation is extremely rich and deep in both the effects of sterling. Second, because it represents the truest economy. At the present price of silver, the heaviest plate is the most economical. Triple plate will wear three times as long as single, while its additional cost 4s by no means three times as great. J Community Silver is made only in a plate heavier than triple and is guaranteed (both by the manu facturers and our selves) to last twenty-five years. Any piece proving unsatisfactory will be exchanged foi? a new one.
