THE TIMES OBJECTS.
Brunswick. Feb. 3.—ln a strong editorial
the Brunswick Times advises Judge At
kinson not to enter the race for the gov
ernorship.
This Is Judge Atkinson’s home town and
the Brunswick Times is friendly to him,
and would, under other circumstances,
no doubt, support him in his political am
bition.
The editorial of he Times is to the point
and. it is believed, comes near telling tbe
whole truth of the matter as regards
south Georgia’s position in the guberna
torial question. Judge Atkinson has many
friends throughout this section who will
concur in the sentiments expressed by the
Times.
GRAVE DOUBT
Cast Upon the Guilt of Durant by the Con
fession of Blanther.
Chicago, Feb. s.—The News' Washing-
I -ton corespondent says: “There is far
' greater reason for believing that Joseph
. Blanther murdered the Lamont and Wil
liams girls than that they met death at
the hands cf Durrant.”
Such was the observation of Charles G.
i Carlton. Washington correspondent of the
I San Francisca Call, who has jut: returned
i from Meridian. Texas, where he has been
I investigating Blanthon's confession.
“A fellow prisoner named Fitts, some
| time afterward, found in the pocket of his
• coat a letter written by Blanther oonfess
j ing to the killing of the two girls. Pitts
I has no motive in the world in manufactur
ing such a document, and he told me a
straightforward, natural story, it is al
most certain, to my mind, that he, and not
Durrant, was the perpetrator cf the most
heinous double murder of the century.”
“Attorney Boardman believes that when
Durrant paid the death penalty an inno
| cent man went to a most ignominious fate!
He thought from the beginning hat there
was a great deal in the confession of Jo
seph Bianther, who was arrested in Texas
for the mu.der of Mrs. Langfeld, an aged
woman in San Francisco. Blanther com
mitted suicide while in jail in Meridian.
Texas. I went to see for myself what
could be learned in regard to Blanther’s
alleged confession.
“This fellow' Blanther w'as a degenerate.
He was the son of a Ger men nobleman,
but was forced to leave his native land for
disgraceful conduct. His entire record in
America was one of crime. He married
three or four women. He was a thief and
ferger. He killed the Langfeld woman and
was landed in jail at Meridian on suspi
cio. While imprisoned he committed sui
cide.

Attended,
The convention to be held in Atlantia on
February 10th, under the auspices of the
Atlanta chamber of commerce, for the pur
pose cf discussing the question of exempt
ing manufacturing industries from munic
ipal taxation, promises to be largely at
tended and will be a meeting of considera
ble importance.
On last Tuesday postal cards were sent
to -those who have been invited to atend
the -convention, asking them -whether or
not they would be’ able to be present. Up
to last night replies had been received
from over 120 stating -that they would be
present at the meeting.
The convention will be called to order
on the morning of February 10th, in the
state capital by Governor W. Y. Atkin
son. A temporary chairman will be cho
sen and later a permanent chairman will
be elected. M-atters relating -to the ques
tion before convention will be discussed
and the convention will be in session until
■the business has been completed.
The convention will be one of the most
important ever held in Georgia, and the
question- to be discussed is one that has
been brought before the authorities of al
most every city in the Southern states.
The convention has been spoken of in high
terms by those who understand its object
and great interest has been manifested in
its outcome.
The banquet to be held at the Kimball
house on the evening of the 10th, in honor
of the occasion will be a grand event and
at -this Jme many addresses from promi
nent men will be heard.
The address of the day will be made by

course of the evening—all by men of
prominence and experience in -municipal
affairs of the nature of those under dis
cussion.
The banquet will be one of the largest

INFERIOR SACRIFICED.
Blooded Horse Now Uses Another Ani
mal's Teeth—Clever Operation.
Rensselaer, N. Y., Feb. s—William J.
Simpson owns a horse, a blooded animal,
which assimilates its hay and grain with
teeth that are not its own.
A short time ago the animal became the
victim of a peculiar malady. His teeth,
the parts that came in contact with the
air, steadily rotted away. The horse
screamed with pain continually.
All the roots had to be extracted, and
Simpson thought that he would have to
lose his horse, because it could not live
any length of time without its grinders,
Somebody suggested that false teeth be
placed in the horse's jaws.
A valuless dray horse, blessed with an
excellent set of crushing instruments, was
sacrificed to the needs of the better horse.
The former's teeth were implanted and
soon took root. They are now firmly set
in their new places.
FOR A SOUTHERN
CONFEDERACY.
Movement On Foot to Secure
a Convention Represent
ing Union Labor.
TO DAG OUT NEGRO LABOR
It Is Proposed to Organize a Sep-
a r ate Confederatioii of Labor in
the South Covering this Point
A movement to organize “The Southern
Confederacy of Labor” has been started
and is now so far under way that a con
vention will probably be held to formally
launch the new organization.
Editor A. F. Loverning, of The Tocsin,
the newspaper published in Atlanta as the
organ of the labor organizations, is agita
ting the scheme through the columns of
his journal.
The -plan is to call a convention of the
white labor organizations of the South for
the purpose of formulating such plans as
will bring about harmony and concert of
action among them, independent of big
labor unions and federations of the North.
The reason he advocates the scheme
is that the Northern organizations persist
in admitting negroes into their trade
unions—something that is very distaste
ful to the working people of the South.
This difference of opinion has engendered
much coldness 'between the trades unions
of this part of the country and those of
the North, and has prevented anything
like concert of action between them.
“There seems to be no question as to
the impossibility of harmonious relations
being established between the labor or
ganizations of the South and those of the
North under existing conditions,” said
Editor Lovering.
“The past conduct of the leaders of the
labor unions of the North indicates that
they only want to collect the dues from
the -Southern unions, -and when they get
the money they care not a penny whether
the struggling organizations of the South
succeed or fall in their attem-pts to secure
justice through the medium of the labor
unions.
“While the recent strike was in progress
at the Fulton Bag and -Cotton mills I en
rolled hundreds of working people in the
Textile union and the Federation of
Trades, and I invariably struck out the
clause in regard to colored people.
“It is no use to try to force these people
to admit negroes into such organizations,
because they are not going to do it, -and I
do not believe that it is right and just to
demand that they should. It is for that
reason that I am now advocating the call
of a ‘harmony convention’ for the pur
pose of effecting a Southern -Confederacy
of Labor.
“Since I first -began agitating the matter
I have received many messages of en
couragement from laboring people
throughout the country, and the demand
for -the calling of the convention at an
early date is persistent.
“So soon as the matter has reached a
state of maturity which I think will
justify my calling the convention, I intend
to issue the call. Os course it should be
held in Atlanta, as -that is the recognized
center of all great enterprises in the
South, and there is no other city in the
entire section so well suited for holding
such a convention.
“I have received many letters from
other cities asking that the convention be
held elsewhere, each applicant being in
favor of his own city, but Atlanta is the
place where it will be held, and I do not
think it will be long before the call will
be issued. I am a Northern man myself,
but I think that I can understand and
appreciate the feelings of the working
people of the South on the race question,
and I am with them heart and soul in
the movement to free them from any de
pendence upon the labor unions and fed
erations of trade in the North.”

The Eloquent Virginian, to Speak at the
Y. C. A.
Mr. W. P. Bundick, of Virginia, the
celebrated temperance orator, will address

astically received there. The Constitu
tion says of him:
Mr. W. -P. Bundick, the famous temper
ance orator of Virginia, who has been de
livering a series of temperance lectures
in the city, spoke last night in the Deca
tur church to a large and enthusiastic
audience. His remarks were well received
and he was frequently interrupted by
loud applause.

Men’s 'Christian Association hall Sunday
afternoon, at the First Baptist church
Sunday night, and at the Jackson Hill
