THIEF CONFESSES
Tells of 30 Robberies in Re
markable Statement—Wins
, Suspension of Sentence.
A remarkable confession is on
file with Governor Brown to-
*iav. submitted by Postoffice In
spector Gregory in an attempt
to secure commutation of sentence for
a former "yeggman." who is now be
ing used by the Federal government in
an effort tn break up an organized gang
that has blown postoffice safes in the
South for years. v
The youthful "yegg," who sailed un
der the name of Red Harrington dur
ing his career of crime, but ,whose real
name is withheld, unblushingly pleaded
guilty to at least 30 robberies in Geor
gia and the Carolinas extending over a
period of twelve years. He gave his
age as 29 and asserted he .became a
full-fledged safe blower in good stand
ing with the Southern gang when but
seventeen years of age.
Harrington served two penitentiary
sefrtences, one in a turpentine camp in
Sylvester, from which he escaped be
fore completion of his term, and an
other in the Federal prison. He was
pardoned by President Taft to be used
hy the postoffice department In prose
cuting his former pals.
It was the Georgia sentence still
hanging over the boy's head that
caused the postoffice authorities to ap
peal to Governor Brown. The governor
suspended Harrington's remaining six
months sentence.
Harrington began his criminal expe
riences in South Carolina in 1900, com
mitting burglaries and blowing safes,
uninterrupted, for four years.
He was captured near Carl. Ga.. in
1904. and threatened with lynching if
he did not betray his pals. The mob
that assembled tied him to a stake and
threatened to burn him and later beat
him with a buggy whip, but he re
mained loyal.
The postoffice authorities told the
governor that Harrington is now in a
little South Carolina town, where he is
living a life of rectitude. His testi
mony alone, they said, had secured the
conviction of at least six desperate
yeggmen.

Far back before the day when Chris

really round and then set out and dis
covered this section of the globe, the
original Americans had away of "talk
Ing through their hats." as the ”lang
ist says. If the red man wanted to ask
a neighbor for the loan of a few pota
toes and an onion for the dog soup he
was preparing, he was likely to com
mence with a few desultory remarks
about the stars in the heavens, his mis
taken ideas about, the moon, throw in a
few paragraphs about the happy hunt
ing grounds of the future and the nice
winter weather of the present, and then
slide in that modest request fora dona
tion. so that If neighbor was not fol
lowing his line of conversation closely,
the potatoes and onion would be en
tirely obscured in the verbiage
No matter what he had to say the.
Indian would “beat about the bush" in
making talk, and that i- possibly one
reason why he never got anywhere and
was badly trampled on in the march of
progress, because it took him such a
long time to let anyone know that he
was being hurt
Now, the people who helped push
poor Lo” off the earth, as it were,
were more forceful in their utterances
and their descendants are even more so.
The modern American has no lime
to circumlocute and wants everything

Real Mint Juleps
Recalled by Graves.
Howard Horace Graves, Colonel Kim-'
ball House Ed Brown's best bet "be
hind the tavern counter," was referred
to in a newspaper recently as "Bar
keep Horace."
Howard Horace didn't throw any fits
about that, particularly, although he
isn’t a “barkeep" and never has been,
being nothing more nor less than a
modest hotel clerk, but it started him
to “ruminating," as the late Bill Arp
used to put it
“T recall some of the barkeeps that
used to be on the job in this hostelry
long ago. and I think now and then of
the glorious concoctions they used to
frame up along about this time of the
year.
“We had one here once who could
make the finest mint juleps in the
world—all frosty with sugar, and great
bunches of green stuff sticking out of
the glass, and—you know, don't you?
"You can not get. a. genuine mint
julep nowadays, unless maybe you run
afoul of an old-time Georgia 'colonel'
somewhere who hasn’t forgotten how
they really should be made!
"You see," continued How’ard Hor
ace. after an Impressive pause, "the
modern mixologist doesn't know the
difference between a mint julep and a
whisky smash. The former is a drink
fashioned originally for the Olympian
gods, when they had tired of ambro
siaal nectars and required something
really fine and appertizing. The other
thing—the man who drinks it is fit for
treasons, stratagems and spoils, and
hath no fiiusic in his soul or apprecia
tion in his palate.
“In a mint julep the mint is never
bruised, and it must be watered in the
melting of its own ice; in a whisky
smash the mint is bruised, crushed
and otherwise maltreated, and the re
sult is a drink fit for no gentleman,
anyway,
“Our good, old-fashioned barkeep
was a wonder of the old persuasion.
He came down to us. gently and sweet
ly, from 'befo' de wah' days—-bless him!
He has gone tn his high reward. I sus
pect. He was not altogether of this
earth, perhaps. He was a rare mixer
of mint juleps—take him for all In all,
I suppose we shall qot look upon his
like again," concluded Howard Horace.
And as he dismissed the subject, lov
ingly and caressingly, Howard Horace's
voice softened to a melancholy cadence
of resignation and noble despair.

ATLANTA SPIRIT
GERM 15 LOOSED
Boosters to Make Their Efforts
Count for All of Georgia
Hereafter.
Members of tht> Ad Men’s club are
busy today with a plan for Atlanta to
extend a more cordial hand of fellow
ship to all of sister Georgia cities and
towns. The idea is to make the “At
lanta. spirit" hereafter the “Georgia
spirit." and the first step is to be a
series of one-day excursion trips
throughout the state by several hun
dred of Atlanta's leading citizens.
The project was proposed at a din
ner of the Ad Men’s club at the Pied
mont hotel last night by W. F. Park
hurst. It was immediately approved by
the Chamber of 'Commerce, through
President Wilmer L. Moore. On the
spot it was decided that Macon should
be visited in a special train as soon
as the trip could be arranged.
Returned delegates from the Nation
al Ad Men’s convention at Dallas. Tex
as. compared the Texas cities with At
lanta.
They told nf the wonderful harmony
and co-operation of the cities of Dallas,
Houston. Fort Worth and Waco
Ivan E. Allen said the greatest ad
vantage these cities had over Atlanta
was commission government.
Others pointed out advantages At
lanta and Georgia should "copy, until W.
J. Davis spoke. He proved to the meet
ing that the state of Texas, as well as
the cities, was governed by Georgians,
and said that he would not give At
lanta for two of their cities, with Bir
mingham thrown in. That turned the
tide, and Atlanta got all the praise
thereafter.
The other speakers were T. H. Bran
nen. J K. Orr, W. T. Anderson, of The
Macon Telegraph. Walter Cooper, sec
retary of the Chamber V>f Commerce;
L. D. Hicks, St. Elmo Massengale. J.
W. Hill, and others.
