ROOSEVELT APPROVES
VIEWS OF LEROYPERCY
ON NEGRO QUESTION
New York, Aug. 6.—President Roose-
velt hns sent The Outlook an article on
the negro question by Leroy Percy, a
liromlncnt Mlsslssipplan, with the sug
gestion that It be printed, because it
teems to hint to be so Important, and
because he firmly' believes that the ef
fective way to help both races In the
South Is by following just such a
course as Mr. Percy advocates. Mr.
Percy protests against the theory that
the education of the negro should be
stopped. He says there Is not enough
of the negro In the South and what
there Is of him Is not good enough. He
u,ys: ,
"Tlte negro must be educated to the
extent necessary to enable him to know
shether be Is rightfully or wrongfully
treated. Any other Idea Is monstrous
end Intolerable because of Its harsh'
ness and cruelty. The Industrial de
velopment of the South demands that
he be educated.
"One of the common results of educa
tion Is that the negro wishes 1 to sepa
rate himself from the Ignorant mass
of his own rsce and go where he can
be judgpd of as a man on hts Individual
| merits; and when he goes he takes just
that much of the race problem with
him and leaves the problem for us just
I that Infinitely small step nearer solu-
I tton. To drive the negro from the South
I In a mass would mean Industrial revo-
I lutlort; to rest the development of the
South on the negro alone, means In
dustrial paralysis."
Mr. Percy then refers to the develop,
ment of the West by Immigrants and
draws the contrast between the mag
nificent commonwealths built by the Im
migrants while the people of the South
"arc feebly reaching with lame hands"
for higher things.
"Don’t, drive the negro out,” he said,
"but educate him and let him go as
he will, taking his troubles to other
climes, filling his place with the best
Immigrants you can get, but filling It
with white mtn, possessing the poten
tialities of citizenship, whose children
or Child pen's children some day In the
future will help us bear the burdens,
help us solve tile problems of govern
ment. This the negro can never do. I
don’t Ignore the Industrial development
which has been going on In tho South,
but It has not been through or by rea
son of the negro: it has been despite
him. We have developed just where
the White man hns done the work, and
just In proportion to the work done
by Mm. The South must not be de
pendent for Its prosperity on the negro.
"There Is no quack nostrum to be
used In solving the negro problem. It
can and will be worked out, but it will
be through time. It must be worked
out with Infinite patience, with abso
lute honesty and fair dealing: and with
that steadfast courage with which
Southern men have met every danger
with which they have been confronted. ’

Inimmucli as there hns been waged n

8 KILLED, 20 INJURED
WHEN TRAIN CRASHED
. Pittsburg. Aug. Bight nre known
™ bo dead and at least twenty m-
Jurni. more or less seriously, as the
jeiult of passenger train No. 76 on
<h« Buffalo and Allegheny Valley dl-
’won of the Pennsylvania railroad,
c r»jhlng | nt0 wrecked freight train
*t Kelley, is miles south of Klttanlng.
»he dead to far as Identified are:
«• B. IRWINE, engineer of the paa-
[ **hfer train.
A number of the Injured will die.
i n.,* ht dead bodies have been taken
nt *nd It is reported that there are
more In the wreckage.
One coach Is lying over on th, banks
of the Alleghany river, a mare of
splintered wood and tangled Iron.
Th, direct cause of the collision was
the breaking In two of a freight train.
One car of the freight left the track
and fell across the passenger track.
Before a flagman could be sent back
to warn No. 76 that train bore down on
the wrecked freight car. Many rail
road men were near by at the time,
but their shouts of warning were-not
heard.
In spite of the fact that the officials
the Louisville and Nashville
railroad have notified Oovernor
Glenn, of North Carolina, that
they will obey the state law and put
the 2 1-4-cent rate Into effect on Au
gust 8, there are Indications that the
road will abandon the only piece of line
It owns In that atate.
That Is the general belief of the peo
ple of Murphy, N. <j„ the terminal of
the Marietta and North Georgia branch
of the Louisville and Nashville, ruti
ning from Blue Ridge to Murphy. , Oi
Thursday'the new 2 1-^-cent paasenger
rate goe* Into effect In North Carolina.
Within the past few days every
freight car, every piece of mo’yable
property of every character has, been
hauled out of Murphy and from the 12
miles of line In the state of North Car
olina. A large crew of men had been
at work on a big bridge in the Tarheel
state. This work has been abandoned
and all of the men, machinery and ma
terial have been removed.
A gentleman who has just returned
from Murphy over this route states that
there Is every evidence of the company
abandoning Its line from the Georgia
line to Murphy. The people of Murphy
and along the route are greatly worried
over the outlook, and believe that they
are to. lose their outlet to thle entire
section.
If the Marietta and North Georgia
docs not operate Into Murphy It bot
tles that place up In a large mensure
and access to the South must be had
around by Asheville.
The Louisville an* Nashville owns
nnd operates the Atlanta, Knoxville
and Northern from Marietta to Knox
ville. At Blue. Ridge another branch,
known as the Marietta nnd North Geor
gia, goes'to Murphy. This It miles of
line It the only mileage owned In North
Carolina by the Louisville and Nash
vine.
The further fact that this branch
Into North Carolina has never paid,
strengthens the belief that prepara
tions have been made to cease opera
tions In North Carolina after Thursday.

died at hlr home in North Rome this

of only a few days. Mr. Goodner was
62 years old and leaves a wife and a

Special to The Georgian.
Cartersvllle, On., Aug. 6.—At Row
land Springs, four miles east of Cnr-
teravllle, thirty-eight little tots from
the Sheltering Arms Orphanage of At
lanta are running riot over the beautl
ful meadows and through the pic.
turesque woodland* belonging to the
estate.
Never was there seen a more joyous
lot of youngsters than these who are
now the guest* of Mrs. Mary D. Free
man and M. G. Dobbins, owner* of the
Rowland Springs estate, and who so
kindly offered this place for an outing
for the little ones of the orphanage.
The Invitation of Mr. Dobbins and
Mrs. Freeman Was made In response to
a call from The Georgian, and there
could have been chosen no more fitting
place for the little ones to spend the
hot month of July.
The house In which tho children are
staying Is one of the relics of ante
bellum days, and Is one of the largest
residence structures In this section of
the state. It not only affords ample
room for the little ones, but has all the
anpolntments needed for the comfort
of Its little visitors. Although the
house has ample room even for the
children to play In, little time Is spent
Indoors by the tots. The grounds sur- I outing.
1 rounding the hous$ are neted all over
the South for their beauty. There are
many fine springs running mineral wa
ters of different kinds, and these form
streams that course through the mead,
ows and In which the children spend a
greater part of their time wading.
A glance at a group of the children
soon shows that thty havs been won
derfully benefited by the pure air and
the healthful waters. Every one of
them- haa rosy cheeks and bright eyes,
and Matron Oliver reports that there
Is not a single case of sickness In her
large family. Mrs, Oliver said also
that those of the children that were
Inclined to be delicate have Improved
greatly in strength and are becoming
very strong since they esme to the
springs.'
The children, ranging Iq age from
a few months to ten or twelve years,
are in charge of MkWon Oliver, who
has six assistants to aid her In caring
for the little ones
Not only do the children seem thor
oughly satisfied, but one or two of them
resented a suggestion that tha time
would soon conic for them to return
to Atlanta.
Matron Oliver says everything has
been done for the comfort of her fami

FIGURES IN BOMB MYSTER Y
AGAIN IN THE LIMELIGHT;
FRED BUSH FIRED UPON
Again the limelight Is being thrown
on two characters that played a prom
inent part In Atlanta’ recent dyna
mite bomb mystery.
Fred Bush, accused, tried and
promptly acquitted of sending the In
fernal machine to the home of Miss
Kathryn McCarthy, and Charles V.
Doolittle, the fiance of the young lady
to whom the box of concentrated death
was sent, are the two, and the two
new features have no connection with
each other.
Just a few hodrs before Charles V.
Doolittle was scheduled to appear In the
court of Justice of the Peace Blood-
worth to answer a charge of,perjury,
a would-be assassin fired through tho
window of Fred Bush’s room and nar
rowly missed killing him.
The events which again threw these
two young men before the public came
in quick succession. The public had
almost forgotten the chapter In their
lives which was the sensation of th*
day tn Atlanta.
On Saturday Mr. Doolittle, who Is
visiting his fiancee, to whom ho Is
soon to be married, was served with a
warrant sworn out by Attorney John
A. Boykin, chargirig him with perjury.
He promptly gave a bond of $300 and
the preliminary trial was set for 2
o’clock Tuesday afternoon.
Bush Fired At.
On Monday night Fred Bush was In
Ills room at 166 Ivy street. lying on
the bed reading. In order to get a
better light on his paper, he lay with
his head at the foot of the bed. To
Hits fact he probably owe* his life.
Borne one concealed In a space be-
twe«n the apartment house where he
lives and the one next door sent a
bullet crashing through the window-
glass Just as the Intended victim was
about to rise from the bed.
"I heard a noise In the space between
the buildings,” he said, "and I thought
1 would turn out the light and Investi
gate. The minute I made a move to
of a pistol and shattered glass of the
window fell on my hands. Then there
was the sound of someone running
away. That’s all I know about it.
reported It to the police and they made
nn Investigation but as far os I know
they have nmde no success In solving
the mystery,”
A woman living In the house next
door and whose room Is opposite that
of Bush, told him shs heard someone
talking just bsfore the shot was fired
and this shows the would-be assassin
was not alone.
Bush had the upper window sash
pulled completely down so that half
the window was entirely open. The
bullet went through the glass of both
windows and then Imbedded Itself In
the wall.
Bush Meats Doolittle.
Tuesday morning Doolittle met Bush
1 on the street nnd there was a cordial
greeting between the two.
"What do you mean by trying to
shoot me through the window?" laugh
ingly asked Bush as the two walked
off together down the street. Doolit
tle then congratulated him on his es-
cape.
While Bush has his suspicions, he
said he was not prepared to make any
accusations, but that he was at work
trying to solve the mystery.
Doolittle has engaged Attorney A. H.
Banker to look after his Interests In |
the perjury charge. He says he Is
prepaced to show the charge Is ground,
lies.
Doolittle Is now In business In Jack
sonville. Fla., and Bush Is making ar
rangements to go In business In At
lanta. He says he Is only waiting now
to seepre a store.
