Railroad Investigator Charges
Derailment Near the Pattillo
Yards Was Planned.
Wrecker.-’, working deliberately, caus
ed the derailment of a Southern freight
train near the Pattillo Lumber Com
pany's plant early today. This is the
declaration of investigators of the road
who were hurried to the scene of the
crash. In which James W. Adams, a
switchman, was killed, the conductor
of the train seriously hurt and the
engineer and fireman compelled to
jump for their lives.
The dead:
James \V. Adams, switchman, 45

C. L. Barrett, fireman, 46 Lucy street,
badly cut and bruised.
All the Injured men were taken to

The derailment occurred at 2:30
o'clock, this morning, when freight en
gine 1702 of the Southern railway, was
switching 28 . cars from the Decatur
street yards to Armour.
At the Pattillo plant the train was
going up an incline and around a curve.
The engine was backing and pulling
the cars. The speed vx as about fifteen
miles an hour.
Without warning the locomotive left
the rails. The engine turned complete
ly over and the tender careened on the
other side. Two box cars were also
over turned
Engineer and fireman saw their per-’
il in time to jump, but both were pain

wreck, both of .Adams’ legs xvere crush
ed from the hip down, while Pope's left
leg was torn from his knee. They were
hurried to the Atlanta hospital in Pat

spair of. He died al noon.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
The results of yesterday's primary
election abundantly justified the fore
casts and predictions of The Atlanta
Georgian.
And The Georgian, by the way. is
the only newspaper in the state that
ventured a detailed and specific pre
diction in the governorship race.
On Tuesday, The Georgian said,
through its corps of state correspond
ents. that Slaton would carry not less
than 131 counties, that Alexander might
get a dozen, and Hall half as many as
Alexander.
In setting forth that final forecast,
The Georgian's correspondents went
the governor-to-be eleven counties bet
ter than his own claim—he predicted
for himself 120 counties.
The Georgian .said that Alexander and
Hall together would get hardly half
the popular vote accorded Slaton. Sla
ton seems to have run well over 50,000
ahead of his opponents combined.
Going back to the beginning. The
Georgian, some two weeks after the
collapse of the Hudson boom, used this
expression: “The governorship race
seems to have developed into a run
away for Slaton!"
That sentence was quoted from one
end of the state to the other, and by
some of The Georgian's contemporaries
was thought to be rather broad and
confident.
But it was true—absolutely true.
From the very day of the Hudson down
fall. the race WAS a runaway for Sla
ton.
The Georgian had no other interest
in the matter than to set forth intelli
gently and- fairly the honest news of
the gubernatorial campaign as It de l
veloped from time to time.
A° a newspaper, The Georgian was
*due that much to its constituency—the
state of Georgia as a whole, and with
out particular regard to factions or sec
tions.
In its endeavor to be fair to all and
partial to none. The Georgian was sub
jected by one of the candidates to a
sweeping indictment of unfair play and
lack of intent or desire to give all the
candidates "a square deal!”
By its conduct rather than in specific
denial The Georgian pleaded "not guil
ty” ,to that indictment —and the re
turns of yesterday vindicate The Geor
gian's plea sufficiently and with approx
imate conclusiveness.
The Georgian gave Mr. Alexander a
great deal of space, when Mr. Alexan
der seemed to deserve it from the
standpoint of news.
When he made his spectacular en
trance into the gubernatorial contest,
The Georgian spread the news of that
from one end of Georgia to the other.
Before that The Georgian had ac
corded Mr. Alexander a large measure
of praise for certain fights he had made
on the floor of the house for the pas
sage of pending legislation in which he
seemed sincerely and deeply Interested.
When he announced for governor, he
immediately became a Igitimate topic of
comment and a source of news.
The Georgian shirked nothing byway
of honest news endeavor, so far as Mr.
Alexander was concerned, it gave him.
as it xvas giving Mr. Slaton and Mr.
Hall, "a square deal!"
Through its various sources of infor
mation of an authentic and dependable
sort, The Georgian saw. early in Mr.
Alexander’s fight, that his cause was
1 hopeless and its finish definitely sure.
Tlie Georgian reflected, not unkindly,
but. truthfully, that state of things.
It required its correspondents to send
in. with careful attention to accuracy,
unbiased reports of xvhat likely would
happen in their various communities on
election day .
Their answer was, “Not less than 131
counties for Slaton.”
Tlie Georgian printed their opinions,
assembled in one straightforward news
story.
Mr. Alexander promptly’ characterized
that story as 'bluster," and repeated
his charge of unfairness and lack of a
desire to give him a "square deal.”
That sounded a little like whining to
The Georgian but The Georgian let it
go—the only’ point now is that the re
sults justify The Georgian's corre
spondents. and show that they faith
fully followed The Georgian's instruc-
tions to send in truthful reports, and I
that only.
* I
Mr. Hall received a "square deal” at
The Georgian s hands —and never once
did he complain that he xvasn’t getting |
just that.
He stood straight up. fought in the .
open, never "hollered" if the news
seemed not to come his way—indeed, he I
never seemed to notice particularly that
it wasn't coming his way—and to the ■
last ditch he was the same brave "Old 1
Joe" The Macon Telegraph has loved to
talk about.
He ran second, and not third, too. it. '
the final lap—thus, in away. reversing I
one of The Georgian's forecasts, for Th>
Georgian had thought that Hall would 1
| run third, with practically no differ
| cnee between Hall and Alexander in '
' the finish.
The successful candidates are happy
I today, of course.
They are distributing their thanks
profusely everywhere.
it xvould seem to be up 10 The Geor
gian to extend its thanks to those suc
cessful ones for vindicating so nobly, so
completely and so thoughtfully The
Georgian's forecasts and predictions.
Which, as a fitting finale to this run-
