CfiNNEO PEACHES
NDT GOWNED
State Experts Fail to Find
Arsenate of Lead in Fort
Valley Fruit.
The department of agriculture,
through the state food inspector, gave
out a statement today specifically ac
quitting all peach canners in the vicin
ity of Fort Valley. Ga., of using in any
manner, shape or form arsenate of lead
in their finished products.
The department has received numer
ous inquiries of late from people who
had gathered the impression that a lot
of peaches from*canneries in the Fort
Valley district had been condemned by
the department of pure food, because
of the appearance of arsenate of lead
in the finished product.
The pure food bureau declared today
that such an impression is wrong and
unwarranted in fact. A number of
growers used arsenate of lead in spray
ing green fruit, as a preventive against
insects, but in a dozen or more analyses
of samples procured at random, no
trace of arsenate of lead has been found
in the canned fruit.

COURT TO HEAR BITTER
BLUE RIDGE JUDGESHIP
CONTEST WEDNESDAY
Now that Chairman- William J. Harris,
of the state Democratic executive com
mittee, has completed the committee by
naming the fifteen members for the state
at large, and has called the entire com
mittee to meet in Atlanta on Wednesday
for the purpose of considering the con
tested judgeship nomination in the Blue
Ridge circuit, that interesting and sensa
tional tight is of immediate concern.
The situation in the Blue Ridge circuit
is no new story. For years elections in
that vicinity have reeked with scandal.
Nowhere else in Georgia is factionalism
so rampant or feeling so bitter.
It was that way when George F. Gober
was judge. The strenuousness and the
uncompromising meanness—no other word
seems to fit so exactly—of politics in the
Blue Ridge were the things that finally
drove Gober from the bench and to a
residence in another part of the state.
And not that Gober nor yet his faction
£ver were thought to be sprouting an
gelic w'lngs, either!
The line-up in the Blue Ridge—in "dear
old Gilmer and Fannin and Pickens,” par
ticularly—is most peculiar. There Repub
licans and Democrats are about evenly
divided. Party lines are tightly drawn,
party principles are doggedly adhered to,
even if heartily misunderstood and mis
interpreted in hundreds of Instances.
Divided by the War.
The people in Gilmer and Fannin and
Pickens are pure Anglo-Saxon. They
have been right there for more than a
hundred years—they and their fathers,
and their grandfathers and their great
grandfathers before them.
They divided into two camps when the
Civil war came along-i—many of them
going into the Union army, and as many
more into the Confederate.
In many sections of Massachusetts,
Union sentiment was not nearly so ram
pant in the 60’s as it was in Gilmer and
Fannin and Pickens, and in many sections
of Virginia - Confederate sentiment was
less aggressive than it was in these three
mountainoils counties of northeast Geor
gia.
If there- is truly a section of the country
where they "do not know the war is
over,” it is in Gilmer and Fannin and
Pickens counties. Georgia!
In these sections, every man's political
pedigree is known. The people have mar
ried and intermarried, and often the bit
terest of political enemies up there will be
found to be closely connected by family
ties.
Democratic men have wedded Republi
can women, and Republican men have
married Democratic women.
The ntix-up would seem to have been
so thorough and complete that factional
lines might have been expected to dis
appear. But not so—apparently they be
come more anil more definite as time goes
I along.
Few Fair Elections There.
It is doubtful whether a perfectly fair
election has been held in Gilmer in twen
ty years. If Democrats rule the ma
chinery. Republicans are ruthlessly ruled
off the registration lists and kept out of
the ballot boxes. And it is exactly and
precisely the other way around.
The adherents of Judge Patterson, a
party to the immediate fight on Morris,
claim that Gilmer county was stolen for
Judge Morris. It may have been. Pat
terson produces much evidence to uphold
his ease.
Taking the Patterson petition in hand
and going through it as the counts are
arranged, it sets up these alleged facts:
That Patterson, outside of Gilmer county,
received a majority over Morris of 522
votes; that Judge Morris knew’ this be
fore the Gilmer county returns were com
| piled and announced; that he called up

[ ’he feature dtawing eard of a numbet' of
I the h g burnt cork combinations, has ap
peaked often in Atlanta ami always as
e real favorite. He is in Atlanta for an

' Keith offices have sent to the busy thea-
I ter for the week. There will be daily

i lar night performances at 7:45 and 9:15.
' The popular scale of prices will prevail
and reservations can be made in advance
for the matinees or for the 7:45 perform
ance.
George Wilson, whose slogan Waltz

great deal to do with the successes that
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN Am) .x F:\vS. MOM \. mu’ i EM Khh j. uni
his strong ally in Gilmer, “Boss"
who had absolute control of the election
and custody of the ballot boxes, and told
him over long distance phone that it
would be necessary for him—Cox—to re
turn a Morris majority from Gilmer suf
ficient to overcome the outside Patterson
majority; and that through the secret and
unlawful manipulations of the said Cox
such a majority was returned from Gil
mer in favor of Morris; and that upon
that fraudulent showing, Morris is at
tempting to take over a nomination right
eously belonging to Patterson.
Patterson’s petition that the entire vote
of Gilmer county be disregarded, and that
the nomination be awarded him upon the
returns from the other counties in the
circuit, was referred by the state con
vention to the executive committee for
settlement, and that is the issue the com
mittee is to try on Wednesday.
Patterson’s Allegations.
In support of his allegations. Patterson
sets forth the following alleged facts:
Thai the registration lists of Gilmer coun
ty were entirely in the hands of strong
Morris partisans, and that they arbitrar
ily refused and declined in hundreds of
instances to permit the registering of
Patterson men. whereas they allowed any
and all sorts of Morris men to register;
that the managers of the election pre
cincts were all notorious Morris men,
and that Patterson men were rigidly
excluded from participating in the man
agement: that the managers openly and
viciously refused to allow Patterson men
to vote, hut opened the gates wide for
Morris men; that the vote of Gilmer was
consolidated in secret by “Bosa” Bart
Cox, clerk of Judge Morris’ court in Gil
mer. and that all attempts upon the part
of Patterson’s friends to participate in
the counting wore thwarted, even to the
point of pistols; that two districts in Gil
mer, conceded to Patterson, w’ere pre
vented from holding an election at all on
August 21; that Cox and his crowd
thwarted all efforts to serve notice of
contest upon them, and that no execu
tive committee meeting was held the day
after the ejection to compile and declare
the result, as the state committee pro
vided; that repeatedly friends of Patter
son, applying to vote, were coolly in
formed that their names were not on the
registration lists, although they ought of
right to have been there: that had a fair
election been held Patterson would have
received a majority vote of Gilmer, and
that, in any event. Morris could not have
carried the county by a majority suffi
cient to overcome the Patterson majority
throughout the entire district elsewhere.
To sustain these allegations, there will
appear before the state executive com
mittee on Wednesday the following at
torneys; Carl Hutcheson and Samuel D.
Hewlett, of Atlanta; H. H. Dean, of
Gainesville, and Samuel Allen, of Grif
fin. They will present a mass of evi
dence to uphold their case against Morris.
Always Charges of Theft.
Morris will be represented by Luther Z.
Rosser, of Atlanta, and other counsel. He
sweepingly denies all the counts set up
in the Patterson indictment, and claims
that he Morris— was fairly and squarely
nominated for the judgeship and that he
will he able so to prove.
What the real truth of the Gilmer
county situation is. the Lord alone, per
haps. knows!
The only thing that is setled with pre
cise and exact definiteness is that as reg
ularly as elections come around in Gil
mer. a stench follows that arises to high
heaven and spreads all over the state!
Whichever side wins, charges of bald
faced theft and highway robbery imme
diately follow
are going to be registered. Cantwell and
Kay. direct graduates from musical com
edy, and the Clarence Sisters anil Brother
in a new novelty, make up the bill.
There will be the usual pleasing and
interesting motion pictures before and
after each performance.
Popular vaudeville has struck a most
responsive cord. The attendance during
the two weeks the theater has been oper
ated has grown with every performance,
and Is a fixture that will contribute a
great deal to the entertainment of thea
tergoers during the winter season.

“Vice Trust” Paying Men Who
Might Aid Prosecutor to
Leave New York.
XKU YORK. Sept. 2. Having failed
in all their efforts to halt District At
torney Whitman's probe that threatens
to expose all ramifications of the "vice j
trust in this city, leaders of the un- |
derworld "system” have evolved a :
scheme by which they hope to stave
off prosecution. It became known to
day that they are sending out of town
all whom they consider "weak-kneed"
or liable to betray their secrets. They
are said to have bought tailroad tickets
Tor more than a score and promised to
pay all their expenses if they stay away
until after the Rosenthal murder trials
and graft investigation are over.
The "trust" plan, as understood by
District Attorney Whitman, is to bribe
or intimidate all persons who are in a
position to give the district attorney In
formation so they will get as far away
as possible from the jurisdiction of the
criminal branch of the New York su
preme court, before which the murder i
trials and graft inquiry will take place I
at the extraordinary session which be
gins tomorrow.
Hope For Police Favor.
The leading spirits of the "vice trust”
and the gamblers who have grown rich
through their connection with it hope
to find increased favor with the police '
officials who have sold them protection
by confounding District Attorney Whit - i
man in his efforts to convict the Ro
senthal Wissassins and to fasten guilt
upon grafters in the police department.
Following the announcement that the
heads of the vice trust and the grafting
police officials have raised a fund of
$15,000 to bribe witnesses to swear to
false affidavits charging Whitman's as
sistants with accepting bribes, came the |
further disclosure that the names of |
the corrupt police officials appear in the )
reports now on file in the office of the i
commissioner of accounts.
To Fight For Records.
These reports name two inspectors !
and a captain, as well as several other '
policemen occupying minor positions. ;
Steps are being taken to obtain these ;
reports for the John Doe inquiry. If 1
the records of grafting are not given to ;
the district attorney when demanded. [
action in court will be taken to compel I
the surrender of the secret reports.
District Attorney Whitman and his
assistants are busy today preparing
themselves for the court proceedings
tomorrow when the battle to force
Lieutenant Becker to trial will begin.
Becker will be arraigned in the court
of general sessions for final pleading
on the charge of murdering Rosenthal
after the gambler had accused him of
selling "protection" to lawbreakers.
