MED PEACHES NOT CONDEMNED ■ 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 tn 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 Os samples procured at random, no trace of arsenate of lead has been found tn the canned fruit.

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 fight Is of immediate concern. The situation in the Blue Ridge circuit is no new story. For years elections In that vicinity have recked with scandal. Nowhere else in Georgia is factionalism so rampant or feeling so bitter. It was that way when Georg*e 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 ever were thought to be sprouting an gelic wings, either’ 1 he 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—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 \ irginia Confederate sentiment was less aggressive than it was in these three mountainous 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 i 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 mix-up would seem to have been so thorough and complete that factional lines might have be£n expected to dis appear. But not so—apparently they be come more and more definite as time goes 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 I is case. 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 qalled up AT THE PLAYHOUSES BIG ADVANCE SALE FOR “THE BALKAN PRINCESS” This was a busy day at the box office of the Atlanta theater, where the advance sale of seats for “The Balkan Princess” opened. The engagement is scheduled here Friday and Saturday at the Atlanta, and judging from the line of purchasers at the box office since the sale opened this morning the big musical production will be witnessed by a capacity house, and will no doubt prove to be a real musi cal gem. The production comes here di rect from a year s engagement at the Gaiety theater, London, ami one entire season at Lew Fields Herald Square thea ter and the Casino, New York city.

One of the features of the per formance is the Balkanese beauty chorus. LYRIC OPENS WITH VAN’S GREATER MINSTRELS Van’s Greater .Minstrels, headed by | Tommy Van. assisted by forty burnt cork artists, is the attraction for this week iat the Lyric. This attraction has been I playing throughout the country at dollar I prices and the booking of the show at popular prices is sure to bring large au diences during the week Tommy Van has long been considered one of Amer ica’s cleverest blackface comedians, and although for the past few years he has been in comic opera, his return to min strelsy will be hailed with delight by lovers of this form of amusement.

I I GEORGE WILSON FEATURE ON THE FORSYTH’S BILL George Wilson, the famous minstrel I star at the head of his own company as the feature drawing card of a number of the big burnt cork combinations, has ap peared often in Atlanta and always as a real favorite. He is in Atlanta for an entire week and will appear as the head liner of the bill of popular vaudeville the Keith offices have sent to the busy thea ter for the week. There will be daily matinees at 2:30 and the decidedly popu 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 Me Again" identifies the star with good humor, is the dean of all the modern min strels. He has chosen the ripe and profit able vaudeville field for his professional stage and will be seen at his best. He is a great entertainer and will be given the sort of welcome Atlanta always gives a favorite. , , , Chester B Johnstone will be another star <>n this bill He is a wonderful bi cyclist and a recognized feature wherever vaudeville is known. The comedy play let 'The Merchant Prince." presented by Harry Holman and company, will have a great deal to do with the successes that THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 2. 1912. his strong ally in Gilmer, “Boss” Cox. 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: That the registration lists of Gilmer coun ty were entirely in the hands as 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 patticipating in the man agement; that the managers openly and viciously refused to allow Patterson men to vote, but opened the gates wide for Morris men; that the vote of Gilmer was consolidated in secret by “Boss” 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 were thwarted, even to the point of pistols; that two districts in Gil mer, conceded to Patterson, were pre vented from holding an election at all on August 21; that Cox and his crowd thwarted ail efforts to serve notice of contest upon them, and that no execu tive committee meeting was held the day after the election 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, oT Atlanta, and other counsel. He sweeping! y 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 be able so to prove. What the real truth of the (filmer 1 county situation is. the Lord alone, per haps, knows! The only thing that Is setled with pre ! else 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 and 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. BIJOU PROMISES SOME GOOD ENTERTAINMENT Indications are exceedingly bright for a week’s splendid entertainment at the Bi jou. The management announces two matinees, one beginning at 2:30 and the other at 4. to accommodate all who would see the Bijou performances on Labor day.

As usual, the very' best of motion pictures will be se lected to open and close each perform ance and these will be changed dally. Matinees every day except Labor day arid Saturday at 3 p. m. On Labor day and Saturday matinees will be given at 2:30 and 4. Night shows at 7:30 and 9.
