GINNED PEACHES
NDTCDNMED
Stale 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 winners 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
cf samples procured at random, no
tr ice 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.
T he 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. Gdber
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 ids sac tion
ever were thought to be sprouting an
gelic wings, 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 many of them
going into the I nion army, and as many
more into the Confederate.
In many sections of Massachusetts,
I Toon sentiment was not nearly so ram
pant in tiie GO’s as it was in Gilmer and
bannin and Pickens, and in many sections
ot \ 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 lhe 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 conn* cted by family
ties.
Democratic men have wedded Republi
can women, and Republican mon have
married Democratic women. *
The mi\-up would seem to lave been
so thorough and complete that factional
lines might have been expected to dis
appear. Bui not 4- -apparently they be
come more and more definite as lime goes
along.
Few Fair Elections There.
It is doubtful whether a perfectly fair
(lection 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 bo'Kes. And it is exactly and
precisely the other way around.
The adherents of Judge Patterson, a
party to the immediate light on Morris,
claim that Gilmer comity was stolen for
Judge Morris. It may have been. Pat
terson produces much evidence to uphold
his case.
Taking lhe Patterson petition In hand
and going through It as the counts are
arranged, it sets up these alleged facts:
That Pat te son, outside of Gilmer county,
received a majority over Morris of 522
vot< -: that Judge Morris knew this be
fore the Gilmer county returns were com
piled and announced; that he called up

GEORGE WILSON FEATURE
ON THE FORSYTH’S BILL
George Wilson, the famous minstrel
star at 'he head of his own company as
the feature drawing card of a number of
(he big burnt cork con,binations, has ap
peared often in Atlanta and always as
a real favorite, lie 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 ail 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 gives
a favorite.
Chester B Johnstone will be another
star on 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

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 (lie 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 they registering of
Patterson men. whereas they allowed any
and all sorts of Mortis men to register;
that the managers of the election pre
cincts were al! notorious Morris men,
and that Pattersen men were rigidly
excluded from participating in the man
agement; that the managers openly and
viciously refused to allow Patterson men
io vote, but opened the gates wide for
Morris men; that lhe 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 Patter: cm’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 «n 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 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.
'Fo 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 Rut her 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 t(ie judgeship and that he
will Up 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 (he state!
Whichever side wins, charges of bald
faced theft and highway robbery imme
<l:ately follow.
are going to be registered. Cantwell and
Kax, 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
r» itousivc cord. The attendance during
’he two weeks the theater has been oper
ated has grown with every performs nee.
find is e 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 2:20 and the
other at I. to accommodate all who would
see Hie Bijou performances on Labor clay.
Th< hill is clever, consisting of Basaleri,
a European novelty act which is said to
be pleasing; Hap Borders and Ethol West
in their variety sketch entitled “Wanted
A Partner;” c.reiia Mack, a singing com
edienne and finally Jed dand Ethel Dooley,
comedy cyclists. None of these acts has
• •ver appeared in Atlanta before and re
ports from other cities promise an unus
ually clever performance. As usual, the
x'ery best of motion pictures will be se
ioried to open and close, each perform
ance and these will bp changed daily.
Matinees over day except Labor day and
Saturday at p. in. On Labor day and •
Saturday matinees will bp given at 2:30 i

YORK, Sept. 2. ii.uving failed ;
in all their efforts to halt District At-;
torney Whitman’s probe that threatens
to expose all ramifications of the “vice
trust” in this city, leaders of the un- .
derworld "system" have evolved a
s> h- aie bv which they hope* to stave I
off pros, aition. It became known to-j
<lav 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 railroad tickets
for more than a score and promised to
pay all their expenses if they stay away I
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 I
criminal branch of the New York su- I
preme court, before which the murder I
trials and graft Inquiry will take place
at the extraordinary session which be
gins tomorrow.
Hope For Police Favor.

Following the announcement tha* the

$15,000 t<> bribe witnesses to swear to
false affidavits charting Whitman’s as- ;
