4 RACECLASHENDS: NEGROES IN JAIL Three White Men and Ten Blacks Wounded in Outbreak at Plainville. Ga. CALHOUN. GA .July 29—With ten negroes in Jail here under guard, ami officers searching today for a few oth ers who escaped, an end has been put to the race rioting that stirred Gordon county Saturday afternoon and night and yesterday, when a series of clashes took place at Plainville, in the south west part of this county. Each of the ten negroes and three white men were wounded. Some of the negroes were shot and others clubbed. The white men are Sheriff N Owen, of Calhoun, shot in the face; Ernest Johnson, of Plainville, shot in the breast, and Robert Miller, of Plain ville. with a flesh wound. Johnson's condition is considered critical. The other two are not seriously hurt. It is not thought any of the negroes are fatally wounded. The trouble had its inception when a half-grown negro girl slapped a white hoy while at work in a peach orchard near Plainville. This was followed by an attack on the father of the negress by several white youths when he i arm to Plainville lute Saturday afternoon. The negroes in the town became rebel lious and threatened vengeance. There upon four of them were caught near the depot and horsewhipped. The negroes, drunk on “blind tiger" whisky, armed and barricaded them selves it! a section house threatening to shoot any white man that appeared. Warrants were sworn out. and Sheriff Owen was called from Calhoun to ar rest them. With a posse, he reached Plainville about midnight, and a battle ensued until 2 o'clock yesterday morn ing. when the house was Stormed and the ten negroes captured. In the meantime the sheriff of Floyd county' was requested to send reinforce ments, and another posse came from Rome. The negroes arrested were brought to Calhoun at daylight and placed In the county jail, where a heavy guard was maintained throughout the day and night Today only the sheriff's depu ties and Jailers are guarding the pris oners. Several persons from Plainville went to Rome yesterday and secured guns, and there were rumors that it was planned to storm the Jail, but no attempt of that kind was made YOUNG BRIDE DECLARES THAT SHE WILL BE BOSS NEW YORK.

I Undoubtedly. if it be deemed absolutely necessary to have a candidate in opposi tion to Thomas \V. Hardwick in the Tenth i congressional district. William H. Flem- I Ing, by all the rules of the game, would j seem to be the logical man for the Job. Mr. Fleming was a candidate for a ; fourth term in congress when, some ten years ago, Hardwick deefated him. Hardwick was a mere boy at the time, i just out of college and pretty muefi nf a i i novice in politics. He was backed with ■ all the vim and vigor of a then most vig orous Tom Watson, and he won out hand somely . In that race, the “country” was pitted against the “town,” and that ancient and sometimes successful game was worked to a beautiful finish and to Fleming's un i doing. Watson was sore on Richmond county “for fair” in those days, and good reason he had to be, no doubt. Richmond had treated the "red beaded one” anything hut graciously, and it was not to be won dered that Watson turned upon Richmond and handed it every stray lemon he could lay his willing hands on. Now, Mr Watson says his crowd “did Fleming wrong” they “did him good,” all right' back yonder in the long ago, and that the time is at hand when that wrong should be righted, and Fleming sent back to congress as convincing evi dence of a noble and contrite spirit upon the part of the Watsonites! < >f course, there will fie Irreverent ones who will suspect that it Is not at all that Watson loves Fleming more, but that he loves Torn Hardwick less; for since those dead and gone anti-Fleming an<i pre- Hardwick days, the heart o/ Watson ha < undergone a groat change with respect to Hardwick, and where once he loved and lent a helping hand he now hates and would smite unfeelingly and with intent to crush. And, so, while there isn't the least rea son why anybody should be fooled as to what is what and what Is behind what In the Tenth district, it, nevertheless, will be a merry war flown there, and well worth the watching. Since Watson first took Hardwick in hand Hardwick has grown older in years and wiser in the ways of politicians. He is a <lead game fighter, and he who doubts that will make a fatal error. Not only that, Hardwick is an effective fighter, lie is not to be brow-beaten, bull-dozed or run over rough-shod. Fleming is a scholarly, high-toned, learned, and likable gentleman, lie was a distinct credit to Georgia when he was a member of the Georgia delegation in congress. Mr. Watson is quite right. Fleming was done a grievous wrong when Watson beat him out of congress—-and. what is much more to the point, this state of Georgia was wronged and unjustly treated. ’There still is a question no doubt, not withstanding all of the foregoing, that the Tenth district will think that Hard wick should be made to .suffer now be ause of Watson's mistake and wrong doing of the long ago or that Hardwick, having made his place in congress, as Fleming had made his. should be ousted and cast aside for no better reason than that somebody wants to “get even" with him for political affiliations not to the ■ FORSYTH PLANS $30,000 HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING FORSYTH.

JULY 29, 1912. ■ Eking of “somebody.” Can a wrong to Fleming be righted by i wronging Hardwick? Can two of them make a right, after all? I That will he the eventual question, per haps, that the Tenth will have to answer. And what will the answer be? i Only the primary of August 21 will say positively. Governor Hooper, of ’Tennessee, seems to be admirably fitted for mem bership in the Off-Again-On-Again- Gone- Again -Finnegan Society. The question of legislative compensa tion is to be fought out before the end of the session. There is a bill before the house provid ing for a constitutional amendment fixing a limit of $7 per day to legislative pay, instead of $4 per day as now prescribed. While the question of a per diem is in teresting, and likely will be the method of compensation employed so long as the 1 legislative session is limited, there are many members who think that the great est good to the senate could be served by paying legislators a fixed salary per an num. and removing the time limit en tirely. Instead of paying members $7 per day for a session of 50 days, why not pay them a salary of $350 per annum, with no time limit attached to service? The advocates of this plan saj' it would result in a shorter annual session and higher class membership. Whether it would, of course, is a ques tion, but it will be advocated as a substi tute for the pending measure, neverthe less. A correct idea of nothing whatever to look forward to, perhaps, i» a com promise veto of the Tippins bill from “Little Joe." John M. Slaton graduated with first honor in the class of 1886 at the Univer sity of Georgia. Every man that ever went to college somewhere knows that there is among students an ancient superstition, born of jealousy, no doubt, to the effect that first honor men never get anywhere in the world of affairs after they leave college— that they make pretty good hotel waiters, barbers, and taxi-cab drivers, perhaps, but never men of success in the business or professional world ' lack" Slaton was relatively a poor boy in college; and while he always was a “good fellow,’’ he invariably was a first class student primarily. He got away with first honor, as aforesaid, and he made a big bunch of friends who are sticking now, too. Since leaving college, his ’career has been steadily upward. He has grown consistently and persistently in popular esteem -and he is to be Georgia's next governor, and that at a comparatively early age. moreover. And. when one conies to think of it, the ancient fallacy that first honor men never amount to anything in after life was a superstition that needed smashing. As a matter of cold fact, first honor men be gin life with a distinct advantage over their fellows and Slaton seems to have proved that, it is a personal matter wheth er they improve that advantage or not.

The grand jury declares that "blind tigers” have no feir of detection in Montgomery, and that this city is in fested with gambling places apparently conducted without fear of molestation. "The deplorable conditions enumer ated, the report declares, "are due to inactivity of officials in enforcing the law, and the indifference and apathy of the police department and sheriff's office in ferreting out those guilty of law violations and bringing them to justice.” ENGLAND WILL ALLOW CANAL PROTEST TO REST WASHINGTON, July 29.—The Brit ish government, content with the pro test already lodged through Alfred Mitchell Innes, charge d’affaires of the British embassy, will make no further or extended objection to the United Etates’ avowed intention of allowing American ships to pass through the Panama canal free of toll.
