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? Population ot \ew York State.

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?
