by Burnie Coon, son of Council
man John Coon.
Martin and Samuel Ritten
house, while walking along the
street, stopped a colored man
and asked him for a match.

tenhouse making an ugly wound
in the back, but he will re
cover.
Coon walked up the street

I Atlanta, Nov. 20. ^CWS W as
! received in this city to-night of
! a double tragedy at Kennesaw,
twenty-eight miles from At
I lanta, on the western and At
lantic Railroad, in which J. H.
Butler of Augusta, an engineer
on the Central of Georgia Rail
way, had shot and killed Mrs.
Lola Green of Atlanta and
mortally wounded himself with
the same pistol.
The tradegy occurred in a !
hack in which the couple were j
riding to the depot to catch the
train to Atlanta.
The exact nature of the
trouble which led up to the
killing and suicide is unknown.
Mrs. Green came to Atlanta
from Greenville, S. C.
In Butler’s pocket was a
memorandum book in which
was written, “I am J. R. But-l
ler of Augusta, where I have a
wife and two children.”
Builer and Mrs. Green were
arrested and fined for living to
gether in Atlanta last Septem
ber.
A Southern Man In The Cabinet.
It is thought that presure is b«
ing brought to bear upon the pres
ident to have him appoint a South
ern to a place in his new cabinet.
The argument is made that the
South is going to break up politi
cally and that the appointment
of a Southern man would have
the effect of bringing about bet
ter relations between the South
and the administration. Of course
arguments like these are being
used by men who have axes to
grind. They have a friend they
want to get into the cabinet either
because the friend wants the posi
tion or because they want him to
have it for some purpose of their
own.
It is said that a Virginia man
is seeking the place. We see no
reason why he shouldn’t have it,
but if he should he appointed he
could hardly be called a real rep
resentative of the South. He
wouldn’t be in sympathy with the
people who control the South.
It wouldn’t be surprising, how
ever, if the president should put
a man from the South in his new
cabinet. From many sources
comes the statement that the
president is anxious to convince
the Southern people that he is
their friend, and that he has been
misunderstood by them. Dis
patches are going out from Wash
ington, evidently inspired by him
or his advisers, that he isn’t now
nor has ever been m favor of so
cial equality, and that all he
claims is that the negro should
have full liberty in the matter of
education and in seeking and hold
ing employment. These things
have never been denied the negro
in the South, though he doesn’t
have them at the North.
Doubtless we shall hear many
things as to the President’s atti
tude in regard to the South before
he enters upon the terms for which
he has just been elected, but be
fore accepting them it will be ad
visable to wait and see what he
does.-—Savannah Morn ing News.
