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. $lO9 REWARD SIOO.

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.” W. P. BUNDICK The Eloquent Virginian, to Speak at the Y. C. A. Mr. W. P. Bundick, of Virginia, the celebrated temperance orator, will address the men’s meeting at the Young Men’s Christian Association next Sunday after noon at 3 p. m.
