There is some talk in polit¬
ical circles of Governor Ilokt
Smith trying to oust A. S

there is anything in this more
than talk there will be some
warm politics along about
that time.
The road commissioners
have been doing some hne
work on the road leading
from Spring Place to Chats
worth, putting the road in fine
shape. It is to be hoped that
this work will continue until
every foot of road in the
coupty has undergone the
same experience.
The report was sent out
from Atlanta to certain eas¬
tern papers some few days
ago that Governor Smith
would defy the federal court?
and enforce the reduced pas¬
senger rate schedule at any
cost. The governor strongly
denies that he bus even inti¬
mated that lie would defy fed¬
eral courts.
T he fact that the state and
countv taxes for 1907 are low¬
er than last year will be good
rews to every tax payer in
Murray county. The total
state and county taxes for this
year will be S1.00 on every
one hundred dollar’s worth of
property, all of which goes to
inure that Murray’ county is
in her most prosperous year.
The Bank of Chats worth
opened for business last
Thursday, and we feel safe
in saying that the institution
will receive a goodly share
of the Murray county patron¬
age, which is growing larger
day by day, Murray county
being in the most prosperous
year of her. existence. This
is the second institution of its
kind in the county.

It is to be hoped the rail-,
road commission will pass an

want advertising let them pay
for it in cash and if the edit¬

God says “All children are Mine,

“Father of the fatherless.”
Your child ! care for through
you, but I pur my spirit of pity
and love into the hearts of men
to feed the fatherless.”

ask. Sometimes the heartless
and neglectful shut their ears to
theii cries, and God sorrowfully
turns away to other hearts. God
works through humanity, ami if
we don’t yield to His spirit some
child may suffer and even die,
but we will suffer tenfold, “Not

unheard.

SLANDER ON MACON !
SHOWN AT NIAGARA
Burning Of Negro At Stake Ex
hihition Purporting To Be
Picture of the Tragedy.
Macon, Sept. 12.—Ben L. Hen¬
drix, oroprietor of the Park
Hotel here, and a party of citi¬
zens traveling in the East and
North, found a place of amuse¬
ment at Niagara Falls, repro¬
ducing the alleged burning of a
n°gro at the stake in Macon, and
tin- matter has so stirred the
Macmi*e« that they have re¬
turned with the determined pur
on. p of having the slander
s opped. The spellers in front
of the show attracted the atten
linn of the party with the words:
■‘Special: Burned at the
s ake! Henry Smith at Macon,
via. Hear his groans and dying
statements I Representation here
of a negro burned at the stake by
five white men!”
The discovery lias been made
known to fhe city officials
. o little bitterness it as been
evinced. It could not be ex
plaint il how such a icpr — 0 n t a -
turn could have been conjured
u-i in the minds of the people
pr seating the show.

munity where the good people

BRANDISHING A PISTOL j
BLACK DEFIED ARREST!
Tragedy Was Averted By the
Prompt Action Of the
Officers.
As the result ot' Will Harper,
a negro, resisting arrest hy Ofll
cer Baytie yesterday, the negro
narrowly escaped death at the
nands of a molt.
At about 2 o’clock in the after¬
noon, Officer Bayne heard a ne¬
gro cursing and otherwise raising
a distiirhai.ee mi Ivy street, near
Exchange place, When 'the
Iiegro saw the officer was going
to arrest him. he jumped into a
cah standing near hy and ordered
the driver to drive mi. Officer
Bayne, however, quickly over¬
hauled the call and, opening the
door, seized the negro by the
arm and started to pul) him o ,t
of the cab. Opening the door,
however, the negro jumped out,
pulling loose from the officer.
Finding himself free, he ran into
a nearby negro restaurant,
closely pursued by Officer Bayne.
Finding his passage barred by
a fern e at the rear of cite restau
rant, too negro turned and met
the officer on the inside. The
negro was full of fight, and im¬
mediately started out to whip
the officer and make good his
cape, All the advantage was in
favor of the negro. lie is a buck
about 0 feet high and weighing
not less than 185 pounds, while
Officer Bayne is only about 5 feet
and S inches in height and weighs
about 140 pounds.
The struggle was fierce and
hard. Over and over they rolled
on the floor, now one on top, now
the other, The negro was
strongest, but the pluck was all
on the side of the officer. After
a moment, both regained th dr
feet, and the officer, having
drawn his pistol, attempted to
shoot the negro, but the gun was
wrenched from his hand, and
the negro, striking him in the
mouth, got loose and dashed out
of the restaurant and down Ivy
street.
A. T. Newsom, who runs a
livery stable on Exchange place,
saw the negro, and gave chase.
Up Exchange place, through a
vacant lot at the rear of the
Equitable building, up Auburn
avenue to Peachtree and down
Peachtree to James street, the
chase was made, the negro flour¬
ishing the pistol to scare off any
one attempting to stop him, and
Newsom close behind, followed
by a quickly collected crowd.
When James street was
reached, the negro ran behind a
house and, seeing an old well
about 4 feet deep, jumped into
it, and crouching low, was eom
pletely hid from view, A woman
living at a near by house saw the
negro take refuge in the well,
ami told the officers, who quickly
arrived. The negro was sur¬
rounded and covered with a
score of guns.
The news spread like wildfire
that- an officer had been killed
by the negro, and a crowd com¬
of more than live hundred
enraged men quickly collected,
armed with pistols, guns and
other weapons. Officers Swords
Tuggle, Bentley, Covington,
