FITE PENS SALTY CARD
Judge Objects to an Editorial
Concerning the Shope
Case.
Judge A. \V. Fit# Thursday requested
The Georgian to publish the following
card, publication of which he said hau
been refused by The Constitution:
Editor Constitution:
My attention has Just been called to an
editorial In The Constitution of this date,
headed "Editor ^hope's Mistake. If Mr.
Shope is the character of man that you
say he is. and I am Inclined to think he
Is. I can not afford to reply to anything

ford to reply to your editor
lowering the dignity of the

of argument, that you are worthy of this

did not constitute hta blunder: but error

Of couree, you are a great constitu
tional lawyer, end If you had been pres
E t ! might have consulted you asi to the
». hut at you were absent 1 did the
■t I could under the clrcumetancee. Of
course we Judges all make mistakes, as
do editors sometimes. If I remember cor
rectly, you once made a mistake, from
which you will never recover, and but for
which you might have beguiled the people
Into making you governor of this great
state. When you dotted Hoke Smith to
run for governor you did a thing more
fbolleh and brought about a mors In
glorious defeat than did Mr. .Shop* wher
lie apologised to the court for what hi
had said and done and retracted every
thing that reflected or tended to reflect
upon myself, either as an upright Judge
or an honest man. Shops s excuse for
doing this Is as pitiful as yours for defy
ing Hoke Smith. If a man slander hie
neighbor or the court, ho ought to have
the manhood to apologise and retract on
hie own motion, and for this the world
will give him credit. Hut If he refuse
until ho le forced to do so. then he af

to write him down aa a coward and a
liar, altho ha may have done so to es

j so by cowardly lying to escape either,
f course I do not mean to say that you
are not tha synonym of all that la upright,
honest and truthful, or that you would
not go to Jail or even to tha gallows be
fore you would tell a Jla.
1 have been told that dirty politics Is
behind Shore's attack on me. and. know-
Ing you as I do, 1 am Inclined to think
that this la true, for your covert attack
on ma la In keeping with your well
known polltlrnl cunning. My Information
le that the seme report of the contemot
proceedings that was sent out from Pal-
Ion to The Journal was also eent to The
Constitution. The contempt proceeding*
rested mainly upon the fact, ee shown by
the report, that the neper containing tlw
editorial was circulated In, the court
house and among Jurore. parties and wit
nesses during the session of tha court.
This fact wsa published by The Jpuntal
but was stricken out by The Constitution.
Pon’t you think that was Utile and mean
and unworthy of tha ones glorious record
of Tha Atlanta Constitution? Respectful
ly yours. A. W. FITE.
Without a dissenting voice. Senator
Kincaid's resolution, giving legislative
consent for the government to acquire
some 32.000 acres of land In Ollmer.
Union and Fannin counties—the first
Federal purchase under the Weeks bill
authorising the Appalachian National
park, was passed by the Georgia senate
Thursday afternoon. •
The senate's action. If concurred In
by the house, will assure Georgia the
flrat purchaac of the Appalachian forest
reserve. Georgia's luck in getting the
first appropriation was due to (he work
of Congressman Gordon Lee, but the
consent of tha legislature Is necessary
before the government will dose the
deal.
It la underatood that government for.
esters have already appraised a large
amount of land In north Georgia and
the head waters of the rivers. With
favorable action from the house tha
Appalachian park as far ns Georgia Is
concerned will have become a fact.

The children's court division of the
Fulton county superior court has made
a wonderful showing In the two nnd
one-half montha It ha* been establish
ed. The report of Philip Weltner, chief
probation officer to Judge John T.
Pendleton, from the first session on
May 19 to July II, shows that 110 cases
have corns up for consideration. Out-
aide of this number eleven complaints
were Insufficient, and twenty other com
plaints were settled outside of court by
agreement. During the month of July
the records show that the two aasletant
probation officers made 253 visits. In
vestigating complaints and helping pro.
batloners.
That glrla are better behaVed than

among them, either white or colored.
Of the delinquency cases, 28 were whit*
boy* and 33 negro boys. Larceny- was
the offense mainly committed. IS white
boys and 37 colnrtd boys being up for
that offense. Three white hoy* tried
their hand at burglary.
Upon the charge of waywardness, the
boys Itad the girls Just a shade, there
being 19 such offenses charged to the
boya, and IS to the glrla.
An Interesting table prepared by Mr.
Weltner ahow* that the delinquent and
wayward offenses are committed as the
children grow older, 9 white and 12
negro boys of the age of IS years be
ing guilty; 13 at 14 years. 13 at 13
years, 8 at 12 years, nnd on down in a
graduated scale until the age of 8
years, where only one such offense was

Inventor, who Ih suing her for divorce
on the ground that he Is “a victim of

noted suffragette and daughter of the
militant suffragist, Harriet Stanton
Biatch, choae to live with her mother
rather than with her husband, accord
ing to his statement. She Is a fully
qualified hydraulic engineer and does
a man's work In the New York factory
where #he Is employed, despite the
means at her command. The divorce
suit, which Is on #ecret file. is being
pressed In San Frahcisco by the In
ventor. y
Washington, Aug. 3.—With Indications
that it would pass without amendment,
the house today took up the cotton bill
under the five-minute rule, and probably
will vote upon the bill before adjourn
ment The measure cuts the present
schedule approximately 60 per cent on all
cotton manufactured goods. The Ir.sur-
C ent members planned to propose a num-
cr of amendments to the bill, but It
was the Democratic purpose to reject all
of them, and to send the bill to tbe sen
ate Just As It left the house ways and
nuam committee.
Repreaer fafve Payne arraigned the
Democrats because, he sard, ait legisla
tion by the tnajotfiy was now done In
caucus.
“You made this cotton bill In caucus,"
said Mr. Payne, "and you have decided
that It must go thru without amendment.
It Is useless for us to attempt to amend
the bill, becai.se your Pemrcratlc cau
cus has already decided just what the
b!M has to be. It r.ow seems that we
are legislating by caucus Instead cf by
the house proper.”
COURT OFFICIALS MOVE
■ INTO THEJJLD CITY HALL
It was moving day from the court
house annex, and Judges and clerks
Thursday took refuge In the old city
hall building, tho It Is by no means
ready for them. The furniture In the
old city hall la strewn about In chaos,
tlie paint smells to heaven and the dust
reigns In clouds.
Deputy Clerk Jeffries was In charge
of the moving cf desks, records and
papers, and he worked like a. trojan,
with dust and grime completely cover
ing him.
Chief Probation Officer Philip Welt
ner haa the choicest office, secyring the
front one on the ground floor. Judge*
Bell and Pendleton are on the second
floor and Judge Ellis with Deputy Jef
frie* and Captain James Goldsmith,
la on the third flnogr.
Judge Pendleton was about while the
dust wns flying. He 1 will have hie Joke
about the other Judges and attorneys.
Coming out of tho court house annex,
where clouds of dust were flying, Judge
Pendleton observed:
"They tell, ma that this Is stirring up
germs that have lain dormant for 40
year*. It ought to stir up some legal
germs to operate on Judges and aom*
of the lawyer*."
There’s a fence around the annex and
the danger sign la out while It Is being
wrecked In,Me.

The
Evening
Newspaper
A canvass of 135 department stores in cities
of more than 75,000 population elicited from
102 the unequivocal opinion that the evening
newspaper is a better advertising medium
than the newspaper published in the morning.
The reason is plain to see.
Six days of every week the morning paper
is read by people on their way to their offices,
and either left in the street car or tossed to
one side in the office. The evening paper is
carried home. The foiiiily reads it. Its con
tents are likely to be the subject of dinner-
table discussion. When her day’s household
labor is ended, the wife sits down with the
evening paper to read tho news und search
the advertisements for bargains.
The morning paper is a sort of casual caller.
The evening paper is a visitor, a friend, coun
selor and companion. Its influence is far
stronger with its readers than the influence
of the hastily-scanned morning paper. That
is why it produces so much better results for
the advertiser.
