Thd husband and father of the yopng white woman, who was at tacked by a negro while alone in her home three miles from town Thursday night, which led to the arrest of the seven negroes and the threats of lynching yesterday and today, held a long conference with court officials in the court house this afternoon. What happened has not been made public. Five hu-’dred or mote negroes from Forsyth / .id adjoining counties gath ered at negro church in the negro quarter f Cumming today for a barbe cue, but a hundred or more white men went to the scene and ordered the ne groes to disperse.

P Trib ble addressed the hundreds of white men gathered about the courthouse and pleaded with them to let the law take its course and leave the negro prison ers in the custody of the county officers. Their appeals were availing, as tiie mob that had been forming all morning waited the coming of the troops. Once during the morning an effort was made to storm the courthouse, where Grant Smith, a negro preacher, was held under guard in the law of fice of Colonel Wisdom, recent nominee for representative from this county. J he oftiters stoutly resisted and the attempt, was unsuccessful Sheriff Reid deputized 25 or more of the cooler headed citizens as special of ficers. and they stood guard at the jail and court house throughout the day.

Iffl ON BfiD FOOD Declaring that death lurks In ba.d ; meats and vegetables and that the health and lives of Atlantans are seri ously menaced by the sale of such unwholesome articles, Recorder Pro Tern Preston today announced his of ficial backing of a war started by the city health department against restart- < rants, butchers and other dealers who/ sell or offer for sale spoiled foods. To show that he means business. Judge Preston imposed a tine of $50.75 on B. Tomasso, proprietor of a deli catessen In Viaduct way, between Peachtree and Broad streets. Meat In. spector Wasser, who is conducting ths crusade, made a case against Tomas so for ha'ving spoiled meats in his place. Stilt another case is pending against Tomasso. In this instance a customer Is said to have suddenly be come. deathly sick in the delicatessen just after eating an order of meat. Three other cases, made Inspector Wasser against Victor Cohen. Joseph Ruben and L. W. Brown, will be tried Tuesday. Jail For Second Offense. Judge Preston says that the. court will deal severely with all dealers found with bad meats or other unwholesome foods on hand for sale, or who are con victed of selling such articles. A sec ond offense, he says, will mean 30 days in the stockade. Section 1886 of the city code pro vides, in addition to tine and imprison ment. the forfeiture of license for any dealer convicted of selling spoiled foods. The present cases, however, have all been made under section 1258, which does not include the license pro vision. It is probable that the health department will make all future cases under section PtS6. thus making the penalty mote severe. ROBARTS, WHO SLEW WIFE. DIES FROM HIS OWN WOUND I t'ol-iMBPS.
