A GEORGIA WOMAN
ON GEORGIA CONTEST
Mrs. Cunyus Tells North Carolina Paper How Women
Worked at Polls for Prohibition.
Coming like a courier from a part
of the field that has been won, to en
courage and enthuse those still in the
fight, is Mrs. A. B. Cunyus, of Car
tersville, Ga., who is visiting in the
city, and who will sing at the mass
meeting of ladies interested in pro
hibition tonight at Tryon Street
Methodist church, and will tell of the
great fight for prohibiorx made in Car
tersville last June against overwhelm
ing odds, and in which the ladies of
the Women’s Christian Temperance
Union stood like a stonewall, led by
the spirit of the dead Sam Jones, and
kept to the breeze in Cartersville the
banner which that great leader and
temperance worker had raised when
living.
Mrs. Cunyus was seen this morning
by a reporter at the home of her sis
ter, Mrs. J. D. Simpson, at 204 East
Morehead street, whom she is visit
ing, and was asked to tell, through
the columns of The News, how the
ladies of a little Georgia town defeat
ed the liquor interest, which was led
by a rich distiller, who said: “I will
put saloons back in Bartow county if
it costs thousands.”
GREAT ODDS AGAINST THEM.
Before telling of what Mrs. Cunyus,
who is a niece of the great Sam Jones
said as to that great fight, which end
ed in such a Waterloo to the enemies
of God, home and country, it will be
well to explain what odds against
which these noble women fought.
THE SPIRIT OF SAM JONES.
By the untiring efforts of Rev. Sam
Jones, the county has been dry, for
15 years, and the saloon men knew
that just so long as he lived, noeffort
on their part could be successful. But
when the leader fell at the hands of
the reaper death, hope lived again in
the hearts of the enemy, and another
fight was started under the local op
tion law which Georgia then had.
But in the words of John Temple
Graves, “The dead leader, like the
Spanish Cid Campeador, was as pow
erful in death as he had been in fife,
and his magic name mounted on the
ballots, put to overwhelming rout
the enemies, who sought to take ad
vantage of his death.”
When Mrs. Cunyus was talking to
The News man, her eyes shown and
her face w r as animated at the mem
ory of that great fight. She said:
“A woman has a right to take an
active part in all matters which ef
fect God, home and country. In such
matters as the temperance cause, she
has not only the right, but it is her
duty to talce a part. Woman has
more time to pray than man. and
therefore her efforts will count as
much as the efforts of men. Some say
that a woman’s snhereis between the
four walls of her home, but this is a
question which means as much, and
more, to home than any other, and a
woman’s place is wherever the home
is to be protected.”
Mrs. Cunyus continued:
“When this great fight came on in
our little city, the ladies organized
several weeks before the election, and
with 65 active members of the W. C.
T. U., we named complete working
committees for each ward. These
committees for each ward were com
plete organizations. A president,
secretary and treasurer were elected,
and the active work began two weeks
before the election. The ladies went
on the street and pinned badges on
every man who would wear them,
and not even the enemies to the
cause ever charged us with being im
modest in doing this. We talked to
the men, and we held meetings, and
prayed among ourselves. Our meet
ings were held in the churches and
the halls of the city.
SANG AND PRAYED AT THE POLLS.
“On the morning of the election,
the ladies gathered at the polling
places, and while we prayed and sang
songs there, we had our children
marching about the city bearing ban
ners, singing Bringing in the Sheaves.
Bartow is Going Dry. These banners
bore appropriate inscriptions, such
as For God, Country and Native
Land; Protect Our Homes; and Sal
oons Cannot Run Without Boys,
Have You One to Spare? Think.
“As the voters came to the polls,
those who were doubtful were plead
with, and prayed with, until they
were won over on our side. We pre
pared lunches for the men, and all
Jay long we stayed there, and it was
like a great big revival, and when the
sun went down on that glorious day
we were overwhelmingly victorious,
the vote standing, 85 for saloons, and
1,687 for our homes, our children and
our country.”
As an evidence of the great work
and persistency that the women of
that little city manifested that day,
Mrs. Cunyus said that there was one
old man, who announced as he came
forward to vote that he was for sal
oons, and that for two hours the
ladies prayed, begged and pleaded,
even when they knew that victory
was theirs.
CONTENDED WITH NEGRO VOTE.
“You don’t have the negro vote in
North Carolina to contend with in
this election,” continued Mrs. Cun
yns. but we did, and to offset the
work of money on the ignorant ne
groes, the white ladies organized the
negro women, and while we were
w'orking in the white section the ne
gro women, with their children with
banners, were marching and singing
as noblv as any, in the negro settle
ments. This is how we won our vic
*°Mrs. Cunyus has inherited the fight
ing qualities from her great kinsman,
and as she finished her account of
this great fight, she added:
“No woman could have made a
The Cartersville News
speech in Cartersville against pro
hibition. If one iiad appeared, we
would have converted her, but we
would not have allowed one of h-i
sex to raise her voice against a cause
whieb is so sacred, and so i ecessur>
to the welfare of our children, ami
our men.”
The above is from the Charlotte,
N. C., News. Mrs. Cunyus is one of
Cartersville’s foremost women in tbe
cause of religion and moral it'*. Her
sweet voice is a recognized btrce
on all great occasions wheie sh - is
heard. She has been assisting with
her voice in meetings i t North Caro
lina.
AN APPEAL.
President Bartow < <>tin:y W. C. T. U,
Asks For Organization-
At the annual convention of the
Georgia Woman’s Christian Tem
perance Union, held at Columbus
last October, I was elected president
of this organization for Bartow
having served by appointment of the
state president, Mrs. W. F. Armor
for several months.
The duty of the county president
is to have supervision of all unions
in her couDty and to labor to secure
organizations throughout the county.
Our constitution says further: A
county shall be organized and a
county convention held when there
are three active unions in the county.
My time being much occupied with
other duties, I have not been free to
do the work for which my office calls
except to a limited extent; but I am
willing and anxious to do all in my
power. Only two unions are re
ported in Bartow county, those at
Cartersville and Kingston. We are
anxious that a third, at least, be or
ganized in order that there may be
a county organization. We take this
means, therefore, for reaching any
community which may be willing to
organize a union and to say that we
should be glad to send literature or
help in any way to effect an organi
zation.

PICNIC.
A Flue I)y Enjoyed at Rliier-Hon Last
Thursday.
The picnic at Emerson last Thurs
day was an occasion of much pleasure.
It was given by the Methodist and
Baptist Sunday schools. '
The stand and tables were located
under the trees in front of the Bap
tist church. Here at half-past ten
the crowd gathered to hear the songs
and speeches. After a few songs
prayer was offered by Rev. N. H.
Joy. Following this he welcomed
the people and introduced Rev. G.
W. Duval, who made a splendid talk
on the study of the bible. He clearly
illustrated that we need to study it
more thoroughly and systematically.
The next speaker was Mr. Reed, of
Emerson. His talk in behalf of his
home town was enjoyed and appre
ciated by all present. “We’ll Lay
Down the Bible and go Home” was
then sung, led by Rev. C. A. Allday.
Dinner was announced and all
were cordially invited to the tables
where a bounteous and well prepared
meal was served.
In the afternoon interesting talks
on Sunday school work were made
by Judge Fite, Cols. R. J. McCanny
and T. C. Milner and Judge Hendrix.
After these talks, she home team
played a game of baseball.
Every one reported a nice time.
Barbecue and Picnic.
There will be an old fashioned bar
becue and basket dinner at Emerson,
Ga., Thursday, June 25, 1908. This
will be the greatest day Emerson has
ever known. The management will

eatables, such as chicken, pies, cakes
and other delicacies.
There will be two games of base
ball during the day—one in the fore
noon and one jn the afternoon.
There will be speaking from ora
tors who will interest the crowd.
An up-to-date brass band will fur

This promises to be a great day for
Emerson and a large crowd is ex

POST OFFICE SHE
The Bill Which Passed
Secures This.
HulLllng WIU Conic WIMi-n To Year* —
Llt of Many Like Approt-riatloim
In tier the Omnibus Hill.
A member of the committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds says
that the omnibus bill carrying the
appropriations for the erection of
oublic buildings in the various
B‘afe-i aggregate not more than one
third of the total appropriations
asked for in the bills introduced.
The total of one thousand and
thirty-two public building bills mak
ing appropriations in various cities
and towns, introduced this session,
is far and away the largest number
ever introduced at a single ses
sion of congress. These bills pro
pose a total appropriation of between
ninety-five and one hundred million
dollars.
The number of bills introduced in
the first session of the Fifty-ninth
Congress, two years ago, just prior
to the passage of an omnibus public
building bill was five hundred and
forty-seven carrying a total appro
priation of about forty-five million
dollars.
The following projects for public
buildings in Georgia have been intro
duced tliis year:
BRIGHTEN UP YOUR OWN LITTLE PLOT OF GROUND.
The important results that would flow out of a
movement for the beautifying of lawns, landscapes
and parks throughout the land can scarcely be
measured. In time it could not but stimulate the
kindred movements for good roads, for more artis
tic architecture, for the brightening and humanizing
of rural and village life, and in an indirect way
would stimulate art in all branches. It would have
an important effect on the health of the people in
that it would take them into the open and would
bring them close to the soil. Pure air, sunlight, and
Mother Earth, after all, are the sovereign medicines.
Do not leave this important work to rich men
on their greate states. Your little plot of ground has
as many possibilities as has the most extensive private
park. Grass, flowers, shrubs r are as accessible to
you as to any. The rest depends on yourself, on
your creative ability and artistic taste. Remember,
every idea you gain and every step of advancement
you make means the beautifying of your own home.

Him 1$ RESPITED
Murderer of Sheriff Keith
Given Till June 12.
WltnesN Who Could Not Bo Found For
Flrut Trial aud Shown Ip
it the Uround.
An Atlanta special says:
John Harper, the convicted mur
derer who escaped from the Fulton
County jail some time ago and was
reoentl> recaptured and who was
under sentence to be hanged in Mur
ray County May 29th. was this morn
ing given a respite until June 12 by
Gov. Smith. A witness who could
not be found for the first trial has
since shown up, and it is claimed
that his testimony will make a bet
ter showing for the convicted man.
Harper was indicted for murder in
Gordon county. The Sheriff of
Murray hearing that he was in his
county, went out to hunt him. His
search was rewarded by meeting
Harper on the roadway. He called
on him to stop and Harper opened
lire. In the duel the Sheriff fell mor
tally wounded. Harper was accom
panied by a man by the name of
Foster, who immediately disappear
ed. The prisoner claimed at the
trial he acted in self-defense. He
denied that he knew the Sheriff, and
said he thought he was being attack
ed by a highwayman when he was
ordered by a stronger to hold up his
bands. His statement was uncorro
borated and had little weight.
Harper was brought to Atlanta for
safe-keeping, and several months
ago, in company with another pris
oner, made an ingenious and daring
escape from jail. The two were af
terwards captured.
Attorneys representing Harper
claim that Foster has come back,
and tells the same story about the
shooting as Harper told on the trial,
and they hold that if the case was re
opened, their client would be exoner
ated or his penalty reduced.
In order that they may have time
to argue an extraordinary motion
for anew trial the execution was
deferred.
Connie Mack under sentence of
death in Miller county, the execu
tion to have taken place today, was
also granted a respite, till June 19,
in order that his attorneys may ap
ply for a commutation of sentence.
He was a convict aud killed a com
panion while serving on the chain
gang-

Cedartown on the latter’s diamond
Monday and Tuesday and the base
ball enthusiasts who went over from
here to see the games say they had
some fine sport.
The first game played Monday
afternoon was won by Cedartown by
a score of 10 to 7 Lemon and Phil
lips were the battery for Cartersville.
Cooper and Wood were the battery
for Cedartown.
Tuesday it was intended that a

a rain prevented the second game.
The first game Tuesdaymorning was
won by the Cartersville team by a
score of one to nothing. Paul Dyer
pitched Tuesday morning's game and
sent the batters down one after an
other as fast as they arose to strike.
The game was said to have been a
very pretty one.

FORMER FREIGHT AGENT.
Capt. .1. ,1. Calhoun Tells How Carters
ville Wag Discriminated Agralngt.
Capt. J. J. Calhoun, City.
Dear Sir: We understand that
you were general freight agent of
the old East & West railroad fora
number of years during the time
that Mr. Joseph M. Brown was, we
understand, general freight and
passenger agent and afterwards
traffic manager, of the W. & A.
Railroad Cos. We also know that in
the matter of freight rates Carters
ville and Bartow county were dis
criminated against for a number of
years. We are also informed <hat
vou, as general freight agent of the
East & West railroad, tried to get
Hon. Joseph M. Brown to reduce
the rates to Cartersville, which
would necessitate the reduction of
rates to other points in Bartow
county, thus putting Bartow county
on eqaal foothing with other sur
rounding counties, and that Mr.
Brown refused.
Will you kindly write us a letter
stating the facts?
Yours truly,
(Signed)

Cartersville, Ga., May 18, 1908.
Messrs: J. W. Vaughan A Others,
Cartersville, Ga.
Gentlemen: Your letter received.
1 was general freight agent of the
old East & West Railroad Company
for a number of years while Capt.
John Postell was general manager.
During a part of that time Mr.
Joseph M. Brown, the present candi
date for governor, was general freight
agent of the W. & A. railroad and
was part of the time traffic manager.
I lived in Cedartown for part of rhe
time and ti.en moved to Cartersville,
having my office and headquarters
here. Capt. John Postell took up
the question of through rates for
Cedartown with Mr. Brown and
through his aid and assistance we
had Cedartown made a through
point, greatly reducing the freight
rates, and I am informed that it is
still on the through freight rate
basis. Dalton in Whitfield county,
aud Rome in FlOjd county w r ere also
given through rates. The majority
of the freight to these points passed
through Cartersville from the eastern
markets via , Atlanta on cheaper
freight rates than the Cartersville
rate.
Cedartown and Polk county were
thusgivena great ad vantage o verCar
tersville and Bartow county. Capt.
Postell and 1 wished to do something
for the benefit of Cartersville and
Bartow county and we took up the
matter of getting the reduction of
freight rates for Cartersville and
placing this city and county on the
same freight uasis us Cedartown and
other surrounding counties. We
went direct to Mr. Joseph M. Brown.
Mr. H. H. Hall, Mr. W. C. Baker,
and Mr. Dave Curry and others saw
Mr. Brown also about the same mat
ter.
WHEN WE TRIED TO GET MR.
BROWN TO PUT CARTERSVILLE
ON THE THROUGH FREIGHT
RATE AND ON THE SAME BASIS
AS CEDARTOWN AND OTHER
SURROUNDING POINTS, HE
POSITIVELY REFUSED TO DO
SO, AND WOULD DO NOTHING
WHATEVER FOR THE UPBUILD
ING AND RELIEF OF CARTERS
VILLE AND BARTOW COUNTY
IN THE MATTER OF FREIGHT
RATES.
Mr. Brown’s refusal to do this and
his discrimination against Carters
ville and Bartow county in favor of
Cedartown, Polk county, and others,
greatly retarded the progress of
Cartersville. Merchants in Carters
ville could buy goods (and did do so)
and have them shipped through
Cartersville to Cedartown and back
to Cartersville on the local rate from
Cedartown to Cartersville, cheaper
than they could have the goods
shipped direct to Cartersville.
Because ot this fight on Carters
ville by Mr. Brown, it was gefierally
understood that Mr. D. *V. Curry
moved from Cartersville and engaged
in the wholesale business elsewhere
as he wanted to do in Cartersville.
1 wish to say that Mr. Brown was
very kind to me as general freight
agent of the East & West railroad in
the division of freight rates on the
W. & A. railroad aud the East &
West railroad, but gave me nothing
for Cartersville. #
Respectfully.
John J. Calhoun.
