trict court yesterday to issue $5,000,- |
kOOO worth of receiver’s certificates
raise money on which to carry out
extensive improvements planned.
Included in the application was the
Georgia Terminal Company and tae
Alabama Terminal Co., branches of
the railroad. Judge Pardee set the
hearing of the petition for Saturday
morning.
The company's receivers, who
have been in charge for four years,
already have issued $3,250,000
worth of notes, authority for which
was granted in June, 1909.
If the court agrees, the notes will
be given at five per cent interest,
and extensive improvements will be
begun in the Atianta section as soon ‘

Atlanta, Ga., June 12-—An inva
sion of the South for negrges to
‘break the great waiters strike in the
most luxurious hotels and restaur
ants of New York was planned to
day, according to information re
ceived in Atlanta. Agents of the
Walfdorf-Astoria, the Vanderbilt

Rector’s, the Astor and other famous
hostelries were szid to be on their
way to this section to round up blacks
to takz the place of the skilled Euro
peans whose walkout has caused the
ister belt in Manhattan all sorts
of anguish the past ten days.
An exodus of blacks from Georgia
and other Southern states is looked
'fg'r as a result of this unexpected
move. News of the places to be
had up North has already spread
among the colored domestic help
here, and many a household in At
lanta is threatened with a resigna
tion from a butler dreaming of auto
mobiles and country places cbtained
with tips gleaned on the Great White
Way. .

Hobbles Being Put
On Land Frauds
Washington, June 11 —The de
partment of agriculture has taken
steps to expose land investment
frauds and protect the people of the
country against the swindling
schemes.
Secretary Wilson today ordered
the collection of data to place his
department in position to aid such
investors. Bulletins are to be issued
warning against certain general prop
ositions, and specific information
will be given by correspondence up
on request.
Thousand of city folk—and many
others—Secretary Wilson declared
today, were being encouraged to put
savings into land-selllng, orchard
growing and crop-producing schemes
many of which were swindles.
“Many peogple with little or no
knowledge of agriculture are being
led to invest money in projects
which, by no reasonaocle chance, can
ever be made to pay the profits
claimed for them,” says the secre
tary.
“One of these concerns recently
wrote to Dr. Galloway, chief of the
bureau of plant industry, not know
ing what he was. It was like some
stock swindler trying to sell worth
less paper to J. P. Morgan. This con
cern promised big returns in a few
years from a certain crop and only
one versed in the subject would
realize that it was impossible.
“After they had written to Dr.
Galloway three or four times, they
wanted to know what he ‘was think
ing of doing with their proposition.’
He replied that he was thinking of
reporting it to the postofiice depart
ment’; whereupon their correspon
dence terminated abruptly.”
Want Georgia’s Protest
Against Watson’s Arrest
Winder, Ga., June 11.—In response
to a call, 2 large number of repre
sentative citizens of Winder and the
surrounding country met in the
town hall of Winder at 3:30 p. m.
Rev. J. J. Shed. a Baptist minister,
was called to the chair, he having
been selected chairman. S.T.Mau
ghon, a merchant of Winder, was
elected secretary.
After a statement from their
chairman of the object of the meet
ing, the object being to take some
action with reference io the arrest
of Hon. Thomas E. Waisen by the
United States government, the chair
man appointed the following a cem
mittee on resclutions: Rev. William
Dunbar, pastor of the Methodist
church, south, in Winder; W.C Mad
dox and R. T. Semore.
Resolutions were adopted protest
ing against the arrest of Mr. Wat
son and extending him assurance of
of moral support in what is termed
the prosecution to which he is being
subjected.
The fear is expressed in the reso
lution that the cOurts of the United
States are being used to suppress
the freedorn of the press and free
speech.
THE LEADZR-ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1912,
Professional Prohibitionists
to Fight for their Jobs.
There is a growing belief among
shrewd political observers that de
liberate effort is under way in Geor
dia to make the prohibition question
an issue in the forthcomiog guber
natorial campaign.
Unless some visible signs are at
fault, Georgia may be facing another
Brown-Russell-Brown governorship
fight, with the election of a legisla
ture an added complication of tre
mendous importance.
Joe Hill Aail, of Bibb, has taken
a stand in favor of a moderation of
the present state-wide prohibition
law, to the extent, at least, of estab
lishing under a local option system,
so-called “package houses” through
out the state.
John M. Slaton has not announced
his attitude with respect to the ques
tion of prohibition, but as he heart
ily supported Joseph M. Brown in
the last fight, it is assumed that his
position will be practically the saine
as that occupied by the governor, in
the event of the issue being made,
Dr. L. G. Hardman, of Jackson, wose
enndidacy is practically assured,
so friends close to him say, unques
tionably will stand for state-wide
prohibition of an even more strin
gent variety than that the state now
has. He was the author of the pres
ent state-wide prohibition law and
one of Judge Covington's and Sea
born Wright's stoutest supporters in
putting the law through the legisla
ture—Atlanta Georgian,
Railroad Men Seeking
