WHOLE HOLIDAY MAY BE GIVEN Meeting Next Monday To Arrange Plans for Big Celebration. That real old-faahloned Fourth of July la coming. Atlanta wants It, and Atlanta will have It. A genuine, patriotic old Fourth, with the eagle pulling the tuft clear out of the lion's tall, and patriot ic speeches galore. Plana have not been completed, but Colonel Harry Schleslnger's suggestion has met with favor. It will be a half- holiday most everywhere and a whole holiday In many business houses. And If the sun shines that day, there will be a celebration worthy the birthday of independence. Mayor Joyner has called a meeting for next Monday morning, at the city hall, to which everybody is invited. The mayor Is mighty busy now, but he says If Atlanta wants a Fourth of July, he’ll turn everything loose and t f Goverjior Terrell npproves the Idea He will not be governor then, and on ihe Fourth will be keeping cool In some quiet country spot, away from trouble and care, but he says It's a good thing. What Atlantans Say. Here arc the opinions of soms repre. sentatlve men on a big celebration: Governor Joseph M. Terrell: think the idea of a good old-fashion Fourth of July celobratlon an excellent one. and I heartily approve of Colonel Schleslnger’s plan. Everybody should lend help to the movement and give a rousing Fourth In Atlanta I will not bo goverhor then, and will be away on a vacation, but I am In sympathy with the movement.” All Under One Flag. Dan Rich, of Rich Bros.: T 'Certalnly we should have a live Fourth of July celebration. The North and the South are under the same flag, and this Is our great national holiday.” W. R. McClelland, preeldent and gen eral manager of the J. M. High Com' pany: ”1 am heartily In favor of hold^ ing an old-faahloned patriotic Fourth of July celebration. We have been closing a half day on. the Fourth, and I suppose the firms will do so again this year." _ . _ Fred J. Paxon, of Davlson-Paxon Stokes: "Why, of course. By all means let us have a great Fourth of July cel ebration. Make our children patriotic and make them love our history, and you make them better dtlsens. I am in for anything looking to a great Fourth. , R. E. O’Donnelly, manager Keely Company: "Put me down for a great Fourth, flrst, last, and all the time. Let us have It with all the fireworks, the oratory, the Declaration of Inde pendence and other trimmings.” Ike Strauss, managtr of Elseman Bros.: "We certainly ought to close up on tho Fourth of July. We have never celebrated the day here like we should and Ilka they do In Northern cities. If the merchants are In favor of dosing all day we will do the same. Those things are usually determined by the circulation of petitions and we are ready to sign one." George Muse, of the Muse Clothing Company: “Let the young fellows shoot off firecrackers, blow tin horns and have a good time. We are In favor of closing for at least half of the day so that the day may be celebrated In proper style." Jacob Elseman, of Elseman & Well "It Is the biggest holiday we have and It Is the time when everybody should take part In celebrating. If the other merchants so decide we will close our Store all day. 1 think It should be done." C. W, Hurlbut, manager S. H. Kress & Co.: "We are game, and will close either for the whole of the Fourth of July or for half of tho day, Just as may he decided upon." A. E. Marcus, manager Guarantee Clothing Company: "I think all the stores should close at least for half the day on the Fourth of July. By half the day I mean 12 o'clock, not 1 o’clock. If we close at 12 that will give everyone Mine to eat dinner and then take part In any exercises that may be planned. "A good, old-fashioned Fourth of July for mine,” is the way Assistant District Attorney John Henley expressed'him self about the proposed celebrat.on. ' Let's have a big show of patriotism. It doesn’t cost anything and It looks like old times.” _ . _ , Frank Weldon, secretary of the Fair Association, Is always In favor of any thing In the way of a celebration. He has become so closely associated with fairs, displays and exhibits that any sort of a celebration appeals to him. "Sure,” he said, "bring on an old- fashioned Fourth. Let's hear the eagle scream and have some oratory and the Declaration of Independence. Let’s ad vertise the fact that the Fourth Is the nation's birthday.” RACE RESULTS. SHEEPSHEAD.

Cartersville, Qa, Juno 21.—With women praying and singing, children marching, church bells ringing and banners flying, the men of Cartersville and Bartow county yesterday gave their unqualified Indorsement to pro hibition that- has been In fores here for more than twenty-two years. Out of 1,721 votes cast In the county only 94 were for the sale of liquor. The vote In Cartersville was 620 to 25, In favor of prohibition, and In several precincts of the county there was not a liquor vote polled. Promptly at tho opening of the polls there appeared a large majority of the women In the city, who took deter mined stands upon the court house grounds, ready to sing and pray and plead with the men to vote for the women and little children. A sumptu ous repast had been prepared for the voters. At 10 o’clodk more than 400 children-formed in itno and with'ban ners bearing patriotic inscriptions, marched over the city and to the polls, Every vote that was cast for prohlbl tlon was roundly applauded and was greeted with the campaign song, "Bar tow's Going Dry." A touching Incident occurred when the venerable Dr. W. H. Felton ap peared at the polls In his carriage. The trembling old statesman was given three rousing cheers and many shouts came from the throats of admirers for "the grand old man of Bartow” and his famous wife, upon whose arm he was leaning. When the result of the election was announced a large mass meeting was held on the court house grounds In the moonlight, at which the victory was celebrated.

The primary election for the nomina tion of aldermen and councilman and other city officials to be chosen at the regular election In December will ba neld on August 7. This was decided upon by the city Democratic executive committee after a stormy discussion Friday at noon. The resolution giving the rules for the primary and fixing the data was Introduced by Frank L. Malone. Corrigan moved to amend so that the primary be held September II. J. F. Daniel remarked that whenever a res olution trying to have such an early primary was being pushed It looked like somebody had his election fixed and did not want other candidates to come In. The amendment was lost. One of the resolutions In the general resolution by Mr. Malone called for a vote at the primary on the question of holding a second primary. This was adopted along with the rest. “Against Woodward.” Walter R. Brown, In effect, charged that the second primary proposition was nothing but a conspiracy to shut off James a. Woodward from running again for mayor. “Why not say,” exclaimed Mr. ■Brawnr"that-whsrea».-one of-aur may ors lias built the Washington street viaduct, the Mitchell street viaduct,’ the Peters street viaduct, and the White hall street viaduct, and has secured from the Georgia Railway and' Electric Company 240,000 a year for the city, and has made a capable official; there fore, be It resolved, That he shall be sawsd off hereafter? "This Is what It amounts to, so why not come out and say so7" The city council several months ago adopted a resolution, asking the legis lature to so provide that second prima ries can be held In all cases where no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast To Vots on Run-off, Following Is that part of the general resolution adopted by the committee which relates to the second primary: "Resolved second. That the qualified voters participating In this primary election Are hereby given the oppor tunity, and they are respectfully invit ed to express their choice as to whether or not tbsy desire that all successful candidates In all future municipal white primary elections of this city, excepting this primary election, be required to receive a majority of all the votes cast for the particular nomination* for which they contest before being de clared tbe legal nominees of such mu nicipal white primary election; therefore ordered that the following words be printed on the official ballots to be voted In this primary election, to-wlt: “‘For majority vote to nominate.' ” ‘Against majority vote to nominate.' “Shout dthe voter desire to express his choice on either of the foregoing questions,- he must. In order that his vote on such quetlon shall be counted, erase only the clause against his choice. “Whichever of the foregoing ques tions are adopted by the voters par ticipating In this primary election shall be considered a fixed requirement of all future municipal white primary elections of this city, unless legally re pealed.” To Elect by Pe'ople. A resolution calling for an expression from the people as to electing all city officials by the people was offered by T. C. Poole and adopted. The resolution Is similar to tbe one Introduced In council by Alderman Cur tis, and he and others spoke before the committee, urging Its adoption. Following Is the resolution: "Resolved. That the qualified voters of this primary be given an opportunity to express their choice as to whether or not they desire that the .following city officials shall be elected by popu lar vote of squallfled voters of this city in all future municipal white primaries of said'city, to-wlt: “City clerk, city marshal, general manager and secretary of the city ater works department, city recorder, comptroller, city building Inspector, ity electrician, superintendent public schools, chief of the fire department, street Improvement collector, city war. den, city tax assessot, ward physicians, health officer, city license Inspector; It Is therefor# ordered that the orda 'For popular vote to nominate,' 'against popular vote to nominate,' be printed on the official ballofa to be yr.ted in this primary, and each voter will have the opportunity, If he so chooses, to exp)*** his choice, by erasing only the clause against his option. These questions are to be treated only as advisory to the general city council of Atlanta, and the mem bers of the legislature from Fultoo county, Georgia, and are ont manda tory.” SUSPECT FOUL PLAY Young Atlantan D s- appears Very Suddenly. The authorities of Eastman, Ga., aid ed by Atlanta city detectives, are work ing assiduously In an effort to solve the mystery of the strange disappear ance from Eastman on'June 4 of a well-known Atlanta boy, Carl David, 21 years of age, who Is believed to have been foully murdered. The whole city of Eastman Is exer cised over the disappearance, the young Atlantan being very popular there, and the mayor and council have Instituted a thorough Investigation. At the Instance of these officials the Atlanta police have become Interested In the case, and City Detectives Lockhart and Roberts have been detailed to unearth alt of the In formation possible. Mrs. Mary David, mother of the missing young man, Is greatly wrought up over the strange affair and fears her son has beena victim of foul play. Mrs. David Is a well-known modiste at 2# 1-2 Whitehall street, and resides at Orme- wood, on the Soldiers' Home car line. Theory of Murder. J. W. Peacock, a city councilman of Eastman, cams to Atlanta Wednesday and had a long conference with Mrs. David In regard to her son, In an ef fort to throw some light on the mys tery. Mr. Peacock was later In con sultation with the olty detectives. A theory has been formed by the au thorities of Eastman that may develop Into a sensation, It being generally be lieved that young David was murdered and his body hidden away. The circumstances surrounding the disappearance render It decidedly mys terious. Young David was formerly connected with the Georgia Railway and Electric Company In tfils city, and held a good position. ' Several months ago he left here and went to Eastman, where he accepted a position with the electric company. George W. Waits May Be Fatally Injured. EIGHT ARE CAUGHT IN WEST END FIRE CARL DAVID, OF ATLANTA. Citizens of Eastman, Gn„ are alarmed over his disappearance and fear violence. He rapidly won friends In that city and became popular. His ability In electrical work attracted much atten tion and he was finally awarded a big contract by the city. Just a few days after the awarding of this contract, on June 4, David suddenly vanished, with out any apparent cause. He Is said to have been a model young man, owed no money, and had no rruson to volun tarily disappear. His clothes and other valuable# were left In his room un touched and Just as though he Intend ed to return shortly. The city of East man also owes him a good round sum of money. Since that date not the slightest trace of the missing man has been found by the Eastman people and hla family In Atlanta hns received no word of any kind from him. This has great ly alarmed his friends, and no stone will be left unturned to solve the mys tery and bring the guilty parties to Justice, should the young man have been killed. Assistant Fire Chief Haney Hangs by One Hand to Blazing Roof. GEORGE BUNDR/CK PAYS PENALTY ON GALLOWS AT CORDELE All Efforts to Secure Executive Clemen cy Fail. Special to The Georgian. Cordele, Ga., June 21.—George W. Bundrlck was hanged here today In mj ljikt hl* Wlfawas In the county Jail. Tho trap fell at 11:10 ~ ' “ "" ” “ ^ hard fought, but be was convicted, second trial was secured, but he was again convicted and sentenced to death. As a last effort a petition was brought to the prison commission to commute George Uundrlck’s sentence to life Imprisonment. Judge U. V. Whip ple, of Cordele, and other prominent people made strong appeals, but the petition was denied. The fight was then carried before Governor Terrell, but he declined to In. terfsre. The fact that the killing of Shroeder was without extenuating clr- o'clock. Bundrlck made no statement. He only talked with his baby boy, six years eld, kissed him good-bye at 11:40 o'clock and he and Each Bundrlck, brother of Goorge, left tho cell togeth- Mrs. Bundrlck was calm, showing very little emotion. The baby boy was too small to realize what was going on. Sheriff 8hepperd was assisted by his two deputies, Dorman and Mussel- white. Bundrlck stepped from his cell onto the trap without a tremor, being cool and calm and not the least ner vous. After tying his hands and feet he was asked If It was too tight and he replied that It was all right. Th* black cap was placed on, the trap sprung and Drs. Wallace, Hunt and Edwards pro nounced him dead In twelve minutes. The neck was not broken. Bundrlck claimed to have been for given and that he had made complete peace with God. It will be remembered that while John H. Schroeder, on September 1902, with hla wife In a buggy was turning home, George and Andrew Bundrlck waylaid them and shot Schroeder sitting by his wife and serl ously wounded Mrs. Schroeder. They had loaded their guns with slugs of lead. At 9 o’clock this morning George Bundrlck took a great Interest In re ligious services held In hla cell. Bundrirk'a wife and children arrived early at the Jail. Of hla five children the oldest was but 12 years of age. Bundrlck showed very little feeling on the scaffold and died with all un derstanding as to what was being done. Hope was entertained to the last that Governor Terrell would .igeln respite lilm. Sheriff Hhepperd, to satisfy his friends, 'phoned Governor Terrell at the lost minute and was told that be had hla Instructions and that he would not Interfere with the zentence. George W. Bundrlck was sentenced to death for the murder of John Shroe der, In Rains, Dooly county, Georgia, In 1902. He escaped from the Americas Jail last November, after the prison commission and the governor hr I re fused to Interfere with the sentence. Bundrlck voluntarily surrendered to John Edmondeon at Downey, Cal. April II, and confessed that he was the men wanted In Georgia. He said he was tired of hiding and being pursued ell over the country, and was ready to be carried back to take the consequencei. ■ No more sensational murder ever oc. curred In the state than the slaying of Shroeder by George Bundrlck. A feud had existed between the Bun- drlcks and Shroeder* for a long while over a land line. Georgs Bundrlck and a brother met Shroeder In the road one day end ambushed him. Shroeder'* wife was In the buggy with him. Shroe. der was killed and the wife wounded. , Both parties were prominent In that section. Bundrick's brother we* tried, con victed and la now serving a life sen tence In the penitentiary. George Bundrlck escaped Immediate ly after the murder and fled to Bouth America. Many month* after he wee captured In Mississippi and brought back to Cordele for trial. Th* case was the buggy, perhaps largely Influenced the refusal. Until news of his voluntary surren der In California came, not one word hsd over boen heard of him. The sher. Iff of Sumter county went to Califor nia and brought Bundrlck back. He had to bo given another trial be cause the date set for his execution hod passed. IN8ANITY PLEA 18 MADE IN BUNDRICK'8 BEHALF. As a final plea In behalf of George W. Bundrlck, Attorneys Max E. Land and W. H. McKenzie, of Cordele, ap peared before Governor Terrell Friday morning, and asked that a board be named to Inquire Into Bundrick's san ity. Inasmuch as no petition or paper of any character was brought to him along this line, the governor declined to lake action on It. Thl* was the first time any question hsd arisen as to Bundrick’s mental condition, and Ihe attorney* advanced the Idee In a final faint hope that a stay of sentence might be secure? gcr GEORGE W. WAITS, ■eman of No. 7 company, ilan- lsly Injured In Weal End fire. One fireman probably fatally Injured, two more painfully hurt and several others suffering from cutfc, bruises and bums—that Is the result of a roof col lapsing early Friday morning at a fire at 10 Culver street.

Haney, are suf fering from burns and bruises, although they reported for duty Friday. Some Narrow Eseapes. That several of the firemen were not killed Is considered reinnrknble. At 2:45 o'clock Friday morning the firemen were called out to fight a fire at the residence of T. C. West, 80 Culver street. When the department arrived on the scene the roof was In flames, and the residences on either side of the burning house were In danger.
