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.

HUNT Ma» 661 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 AT THE PLAYHOUSES ’ EIC.

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 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.MONDAY. SEPTEMBER ” 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 (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.
