No Animosities Between
- Slaton and Alexander
Atlanta, Oct. 21.—1 f there ever
was any hatchet to bury between
“Jack’” Slaton and ‘‘Whooper’’
Alexander. it has been buried
forty feet deep in stony ground.
Since they opposed each other
for governor some folks imagined
that there was a soreness between
them. The two gentlemen hap
pened to meet in the court house
corridor a day or two ago, and
the crowd paused to see what
would happen. The two gentle
men shook hands, patted
each other on the shoulder and
said ‘“Howdy’’ in such unmis
tably friendly tones that nobody
could any longer doubt their mu
( tual regard.

/THE LEADER:ENTERPRISE, TUESDAY OCTORER 22, 1912
Capt. Mull Writes
From Washington
Washington, D. C., Oct. 14.
To the Leader-Enterprise and
Friends:
I have been quite busy the past
few days sight-seeing. My son
in-law, J. M. Gray, whois known
to many in Fitzgerald, is visiting
me, and I have been showing
him the sights of the city. After
visiting the different public build
ings, we took the car at 12th
Pennsylvania Ave. and went out
to Mt. Vernon, George Washing
ton’s home, a distance of 16 miles, ‘
which we made in one hour. We
went through the old Washing
ton residence and viewed all the
old relics that have been kept in
tact all these years. We viewed
all the buildings on the grounds.
George Washington had a fine
stable, which was built by his
father in 1733. The brick for
this stable was imported from
England, and the walls still stand
as they were built. There have
been no repairs except to the
corners. All the old buildings
are kept in fine condition. The
furniture is well preserved and
looks just bs clean as if it were in
use. We went into the kitchen
and saw the old cooking utensils,
‘the old pot rack, pot hooks, the
old spider and oven, etc.
After this we went through
‘George Washington’s flower gar
‘den. These flower beds were laid
out by Washington himself, and
hedges he planted 125 years ago
are still growing in the garden.
His old carriage stands in his car
riage house where he left it the
last time he used it, and the mud is
still on the wheels. I don’t sup
pose there is anything like it in
the world. It was a fine piece of
workmanship in his day.
Well, I have just met a friend
from New York, and he says
Wilson is a sure winner in his
state, Wilson’s friends are offer
ing & to 1 that he will be elected.
I also met a Grand Army man
from Pittsburgh, Pa., and he
says the situation in Pennsylva
nia looks bad for the Republi
cans, So it seems that the Bull
Moosers and the Standpatters
both think there is no chance
for the election of a Republican
President this year.
I have just had an interview
with a Republican from N. Y.
He is connected with one of the
largest banks in New York City,
and he said he intended to vote
for Wilson. Said he never be
fore voted anything but the Re
publican ticket, but that under
the conditions this year he would
not vote the Republican ticket.
He said Wilson would carry New
York State easy, and we have
reports coming in to the same
effect from all over the United
States. Yours truly,
D. B. MuLL,
A Confederate Veteran.
Penny Lunches Popular
For School Children
Atlanta, Oct. 21.—The kids of
the Inman Park publie school are
patronizing the penny lunches so
enthusiastically that it has been
necessary for a kind-hearted
lady to endow the enterprise to
prevent it from becoming bank
rupt.
- The school began serving a
different lunch every day to the
little children, charging them
only one cent each. One day it
was a hot weiner and 4 piece of
bread; next day a banana and
peanut butter sandwich; next day
a hot baked potato and two gra
ham wafers, ete.
" Tt was originally intended for
the little ones who didn’t bring
any lunch and usually went hun
gry until they got home, But
the second day it was instituted
all the'children who had previous
ly been bringing lunches, from
home did not bring any—
they brought a penny instead.
The penny lunches are now feed
ing from 500 to 1,600 children

Atlanta Chief Is Get~
ting Over-Zealous
Has Opened War on Atlan
~ ta Locker Clubs
Atlanta, Ga. Oct.2l,—Conserv
ative citizens of Atlanta are be
ginning to say that the praise and
prayers and white roses with
which he has been showered are
turning Chief Beavers’ head.
Many good people who com
mended him at first for wiping out
the segregated district in Atlanta
are beginning to fear that the
“‘reformer” germ has got into the
chief’s blood to such extent that
it is rendering him over-zealous.
It was announced at the time
of the closing-up, that it distinctly
did not . herald the approach of a
puritanical era \n municipal affairs,
and that the police department had
no intention of forcing any *‘blue
laws” on the city. But no sooner
was the restricted district move:
ment out of the way than Chief
Beavers began the second crusade,
which is now in full swing, against
the locker clubs of Atlanta.
“If any of them are violating
the law” says Chief Beavers, ‘I
am going to close them up, re
gardless of whether they are other
wise respectable or not.” And the
trouble about this is that while
some extremely rigid prohibition
ists honestly believe that that is
precisely the way to deal with
locker clubs, it is not the way to
deal with them that the state of
Georgia and the public officials of
Georgia cities have thus far adopt
ed.
Most attorneys are of the opin
ion that all locker clubs violate the
strict letter of the law. But itis
admitted that while they violate
the letter, nearly all of the big,
respectable clubs of Atlanta and
other Georgia cities conform will
ingly and sincerely with the spirit
of the law. If Chief Beavers takes
it upon himself to enforce the
letter, some exciting times may
follow.

Wilson And Marshall Day Throughout Staie,
Georgia Will. Do Her Part in Celebration. Every City
And Town, Wherever Men Can Gather it is Planned
to Have Democrats Meet and Hear Governor
Wilson's Speech Read from Platform
Atlanta, Oct. 19.—Saturday, November 2, has been set apart and
designated *‘Wilson and Marshall Day,” as the result of conference
and concerted action between national democratic headquarters in
New York, and democratic headquarters of the various states of the
country,
" It is proposed to signa'ize Wilson ar.d Marshall Day by demo
cratic rallies in every city and town in the United States, at which
there will be read a special message incident to the campaign from
Governor Wilson, national democratic leader.
There will be 146 of these rallies held in Georgia. probably more,
For arrangements will be made to hold them at every county seat and
also 1n all towns which are not county seats,
The suggestion of Wilson and Marshall Day, coming from nation
al democratic headquarters in New York, has received the most cor
dial approval and co-operation from all the state chairman.
State Chairman W. J. Harris has just received an extended tele
gram from Acting National Chairman W. G. McAdoo in New York,
putting the matter before him, and he has not only replied with
hearty approval of it, but stated that he, the members of the state
executive committee and the county chairman all over the state would
be glud to lend their full co-operation,
Chairman Harris has taken the matter up and is writing to exe
cutive committeemen and county chairmen all over Georgia; in every
instance, as far as he has gone, the replies have been favorable, and
there is no question that Georgia is going to make a big showing on
Wilson and Marshall Day.
The meetings of democrats in the larger cities of the 'state will
probably be called for 8 o’clock in the evening of November 2; in
some instances good speakers will be provided. The meetings in the
towns throughout the state will be held at the hour most convenient
to those interested. '
Governor Wilson is now preparing this special message for Wil
son and Marshall Day, and it is not unlikely also that Governor
Marshall, of Indiana, will add a brief word of encouragement to the
statement. .
This statement will be printed at once and mailed out by national
headquarters in New York and Chicago, to all of the state chairmen,
and the latter will distribute it to members of state committees and
county chairmem throughout the state, Where there is no speaker, a
good reader will be secured to preseut forcibly the message of the na='
tional democratic leader to the people.
| There can be no question that it will be tremendously inspiring
to have a great mobilization of democrats all over the country on
‘November 2, just three day in advance of the election which, it is al
ready generally conceded, is going to bring democratic success.
| Governor Wilson’s message to democrats the country over will
not be released for publication in the press urtil after ivhas veen read
at these numerous rallies all over the United States.
In addition to hearing Governor Wilson’s message, the occasion
will be taken advantage of to discuss methods for bringing fout a full
democratic vote in eveey state, county, township, city and militia dis
trict in the Unitad States, -
““This movement, is undoubtedly one of the jbest that has been
Sundertakon in the entire campaign,” said State Chairman Harris to
day. “Our greatest and most important work is in getting the demo
cratic voters to the polls, We’ve got the voters to sweep the country
from one end to the other; the problem is only to get their votes in
the ballot boxes,
““These democratic rallies all over the country will arouse an en
thusiasm that will prove a tremendous motive force on election day;
it will bring dcmocrats to the polls and pile up the result, already un
questionable,
]am confident that Georgia democrats will do their part and
that there will be a good turr out cf voters in every county in the
state to hear Governor Wilson’s message,”

“The Rosary
I have always believed that a
play dealing with a tremondous
power of our human thoughts
was really needed upon the stage.
Men and women risein the morn
’ing and goabout their work heed-
Jess of the fact that it is their
\own attitude of mind that brings
them success or failure.
’ That is what is shown in *‘The
Rosary,”’ a beautiful new play
from the pen of Edward E.
Rose and produced by Rowland
& Clifford, which plays at the
Grand Opera House next Thurs
day, Oct. 24. You see the effect
of thought on the different indi
viduals. One character is that of
a business man, happily married
toa wife that loves him. But
this thought is wrong. He har
bors fear, doubt and unbelief in
good that lies around him. He
losses all—fortune, home, wife,
even his own self-respect. How
does it end? Go and see “The
Rosary.”’ |

Railreads Want More
‘ Pay For Hauling Mail
~ Atlanta, Oect. 21.—Through a
committee composed of represen
tatives of 266 railroads, operat
ing 214,275 miles of road, inves
tigations have been made and
brought to the attention of cons
gress regarding the too small
compensation provided by the U.
S. government for the service
which the railroads render in
hauling the mails.
The investigation has been go
ing on quietly in Georgia and oth
erstatesf or some time past, and
develops the fact, it is stated,
that infrequent weighing, ab
sence of any pay at all for nearly
forty per cent of the space occu
pied as traveling postoffices, and
other arrangements forced on the
roads by the government have
been manifestly unfair to the
railroads. The roads are work
ing to have these things reme
died and expect to win in their
fight. e
