111. WILLIAMS TALKS
Hakes Statement Explaining His
True Motives and Work,
IS ENGAGED in legitimate business
SaTJ He Has Been Ml*ja<lg£<l In Many
1# Awaiting* Supremo
Court Decision.
jlr. R. A. Williams, better known
is “Peg,” mvho opened a railroad
emigrant office in Atlanta a few days
,ro—which fact was the subject of au
article in The Atlanta Constitution—
•nakes ar. interesting statement of his
position and gives a clearer insight
into his side of the question than has
yet appeared.
He declares that he has never taken
uegroes from any county during the
Slithering of crops and says his work
hse been of benefit to Georgia, despite
the statements that have been made by
persons in counties from which negroes
have been sent.
A representative of Tax Collector
Stewart called on Mr. Williams in refer
ence to the license. It seems that no
active work has been done and the of
fice was opened up preparatory to
commencing work as soon as the de
cision of the supreme court is render
ed, and in order to give notice so that
persons wishing to leave Georgia will
not make new contracts. This was
not fully explained to The Constitution
representative who saw Mr. Williams.
The most important part of lire state
ment is as follows:
To The Constitution—l notice in
this morning’s paper your article no
tifying the tax collector that I had no
license, and had opened a railroad em
igrant office. This is true. The office
is open, advertising to the woHd the
number of people I want to go west
and inducements offered io them for
picking cotton at 75 cents per hundred,
which is nearly double what they get
in Georgia.
When I went to the Constitution to
give an advertisement, I was asked if
I had a license for Fulton county. I
said no; that I have a license in Greene
county and am working there. I
opened my office to be ready when the
decision of the supreme court of the
United States was handed down to
commence business in Fulton county,
advertising in The Constitution to let
the people know that they could go
before they contracted for the<enstiing
year.
The Constitution erred in the state
ment where it says “I took the people
out and left the crops to go to ruin.”
When I took the people all crops had
been gathered, and the majority of the
people were on starvation, with noth
ing to do. The counties where I got
most of the emigrants had applied to
the governor for aid to keep them
from starvation. The citizens of the
county seat of Green county invited
me to come and take out fiem 1,000 to
1,500, but after 600 or less had gone
they asked me to stop, which T did
until the 15th day of this month, not
withstanding I had taken out and paid
a SSOO license for this county.
The matter of representation was
taken up when I was in Greensboro,
and from statements in the columns of
The Constitution, the negroes that I
took had no effect, as they were short
about 1,500 besides. If I am correctly
informed, they should have 19,500 to
secure the second representastive, which
proves that it is not my fault.
It is true that I had a good deal of
trouble and was arrested when moving
the people, but I was uever threaten
ed with being tarred and feathered.
This is an idea that originated with
The Constitution. I was never in the
•counties of Hancock or Morgan solic
iting, further than passing through on
vhe train, although they arrested me
while passing through Morgan eounty.
without knowing me, having to eall on
the oonductor to point me out.
2£ow it’s very easy to "Peg
Williams” arrested, whether he is
guilty or not; that can be determined
later. If lam not mistaken, someone
will have 'to pay for all this vitupera
tion. My business is a legitimate one.
I am a law-abiding citizen and not ati
outlaw or criminal. My home is in
Memphis, Tenn., and I shall appeal to
the United States court if necessary.
I have been a benefactor to the state
of Georgia to both the white and col
ored population. I believe a majority
of the citizens of Georgia concur wifn
me iu this opiniou.
There is always two sides to a story,
and it’s high time that the newspapers
that seek to give me unsought and un
pleasant notoriety should show a little
justice in their columns. Would it not
he well to look into the facts and let
the truth shine out occasionally?

Coated
Look at your tongue.
Is it coated ?
Then you have a bad
taste in your mouth every
morning. Your appetite
is poor, and food dis
tresses you. You have
frequent headaches and
are often dizzy. Your
stomach is weak and
your bowels are always
constipated.
There’s an old and re
liable cure:
pm
Pill'S
Don’t take a cathartic
dose and then stop. Bet
ter take a laxative dose
each night, just enough to
cause one good free move
ment the day following.
You feel better the
very next day. Your
appetite returns, your
dyspepsia is cured, your
headaches pass aw'ay,
your tongue clears up,
your liver acts well, and
your bowels no longer
give you trouble.

Once the foolish man told her that

“You would?” she said, In tones of

bravery, or that seemed valorous in

But he didn’t say anything about It.
For a true hero never talks about his

So she never knew that her husband

FADED IN HER YOUTH
Pretty faces and graceful forms of young 1 women i Why Is it th#y are so
•oon replaced by plainness and lankness? It is because the young girl just
i entering into womanhood does not know how to
ke care of herself and has no one competent to
struct her. It is not necessary that there should
i anything weakening or wearying about the
nctions of a female organism. Parents of young
ris should inform themselves and prevent their
r ones from making costly errors.
That young woman has a just cause of com
plaint, who is permitted to believe that great
periodic suffering is to be expected, that severe
mysterious pains and aehes are part of her
natural experience as a woman. These things
arc making constant war on her health, her dis
position and her beauty. It is a wanton sacri
fice, absolutely unnecessary and cruel. It i

The nervousness in women which invariably
comes with pain is of itself certain to stop tho
development of beauty in face and figure. Ex
cited nerves make sharp lines and hasty speech.
The beautiful curves which make women so
attractive are not possible when the female organism is out of order, as it
surely is when discomfort and pain are always or even periodically present.
It is only necessary to look in the faces of young women everywhere to se
that this must be so. Else why are they so pale and thin ?
