THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. SEPTEAfPER 16. 1912. Household That Has Real ‘Wah Time' Servant Is Envy of Neighborhood. Out in West Fourteenth street there's 1 a household treasure who is the envy of tlie neighborhood. There isn't a fmn ily in nine blocks which wouldn't like to adopt Aunt Gaorgie Bradwell, the: : "black mammy" of four-year-old Pal- ! inter Dallis. daughter of Mi. and Mrs.| Ernest K Dallis. Mammy Geoigia is I one of the very few black mammies left' in Atlanta. A thousand Southern moth ers wish there were a thousand like her. "No. marsler; they ain't no niore'n a dozen real old-time nusses lef’ in At lanta." said Mammy Georgia. "Hit's been a moughty long time sense war limes, and dey ain't been no house servants sense den, like dey used to be. "Me? I ain't a sho nuff befo’-de-wah nurse. No, suit'. I was bawn jus' after de wah. But I had old-time raisin' and I b'longs to old kind. White folks tells me dey wishes dey could find niggers dese days like de mammies dal used to nu-s 'em when dey was Chilian.” The old woman stopped to open a pietute book for her tiny charge. "Jest Makes Up" Her Stories. "Bead me another story. Mammy." begged lite little girl. Old Georgia be gan a vivid account of the adventures of the little boy and girl in the picture. It didn't sound like literature, but it was interesting a 'an you read. Mammy ?" asked the reporter. "No. suii; I was jus' funnin'," ex plained the old nurse, with a hearty laugh. "I don't have to read. I kin jus' look at de pictures and make up tales for de chillun dat suits dem heap bet ter'll them in de books. "You don't see many of us old inani- I mi< s now. do you. marster? Dese new | time niggers ain't no good fur nusses. ' Dey don't keer about nuthin' but havin' ■i a good time -fiat's all. De chillun don't love 'em like dey do us old-timers. Me. I've been nu»sin' dis baby sense she was a week ole. and she thinks jus' as much of me as she do of her own mother Don't you. honey?" And the little girl nodded a hearty . assent. "Ole Mammy” Beloved By All. Truly, th" child of today who has a black mammy is blessed above her companions. It is a treat to see an old nurse. b?nt with years and infirmities. I taking her tine charges for a walk down Peachtree Handsomely gowned women, daughters of the Old South, slop to greet the children and linger > for ,i chat with the old nurse. There is a singular friendship among the ante bellum negroes and the "quality white folks."

FLINN CONDEMNS SUICIDE OF NOGI; IS “INJURY TO JAPAN” I ■ A life of patriotism marred by a final 'act .that injured his country and could not be patriotic is the way in which Dr. Richard Orme Flinn, pastor of North Avenue Presbyterian church, charac : tplbzes the suicide of Count Maresuke Nogi, supreme military councillor of i Japan. Dr. Flinn preached an eloquent ser i mon last night on "Suicide” and based i his subject on the suicide of Count Nogi and his wife at the funeral of their empei or. "Nogi was not insane." said Dr. Flinn. “He was actuated by the sin cerest motives, as was his wife, and I honor him for his sincerity, but his death was caused by the weakness of Pagan philosophy and he hasudone Ja pan tin irreparable harm. "He killed himself when Japan need- I ed him most and he has set an example that will be hard to overcome." WHIPPED LAD KILLS FATHER AND TRIES TO SLAY SELF GAINESVILLE, TEX . Sept 16. Wil liam Smith. 38 years old. was shot through the heart and killed this morning by his fourteen-year-old son. just after he had chastised him for throwing cotton bolls at his brother instead of working. The affair occurred 20 miles west of Gaines ville. at Leo, shortly after sunrise, when the family was preparing to go to work in the cotton fields The load of a single-barreled shotgun went through Smith's heart The boy was brought here and placed in jail. After committing the crime, young Smith tried to drown himself, but was prevented by i neighbors. He begged to be killed, say i mg he would rather be dead than suffer jthe agony of realizing he had murdered I his own father. WORKER.

But Has Recovered and Will Sing in Opera Soon. By CHARLES HENRY MELTZER. j LONDON. Sept. 16. What are rhe facts I concerning Geraldine Farrar? For some weeks past wild stories have been cur rent. In Paris and Milan the popular prima donna was reported to be so Hl that there was little or no hope of saving her The announcement that she hail been under treatment is a Munich sanita rium seemed to give substance to this tale- When it became known that she had can celled al! engagements for her projected concert tour her friends, of course, sup posed her case was desperate "I have learned, however, from an im portant employe of the Metropolitan that Miss Farrar had recovered. "I saw Miss Farrar only a few days ago in Munich." said my informant. "She was then living at the Hotel De Russie and looked bright and well. It is a fact that she was lately in a sanitarium, and at her doctor’s advice, some weeks ago, she cancelled her concert engagements, but she assured me she was now in per fect health and there appears to be no doubt that she will be able to appear on the second night of the approaching opera season, not in New York, but possibly in New Haven." In confirmation of his optimistic state ments. my informant pointed out that Miss Farrar's mother had arrived in Paris. "Is it likely," he concluded, "that she would leave her daughter’s side if the reports you mention were justified? ' On the other hand, about a week ago an artist who till lately would have been generally accepted as an authority gave quite alarming news about Miss Farrar to one of the most influential persons con nected with grand opera in America. The truth may lie between the two extremes. GOES MAD AS HE SEES DEATH CHAIR; SHOCK ENDS NEGRO’S RAVING AUBURN’. N. Y., Sept. 16.—The most ! grewsome spectacle ever presented at an electrocution was seen at Auburn prison today, when James Williams, a negro, was executed. Fear of death had driven the negro insane and he struggled and talked incessantly from the time he was taken out of the death cell until the electric current ended his life. Nevertheless, the execution was one of the most rapid on record, requiring only one minute and forty seconds. One contact of I,BBo' volts ended Williams’ life. Williams was accompanied to the chair by a priest. Despite the priest’s soothing words, Williams st uggled to the last against his captors and insist ed upon making a wild speech. He en tered the death chamber in a working suit and golf cap, but was angry when the cap was taken off. He struggled to rise, but the straps held and he de livered his rambling argument, saying: "Don’t kill me. gentlemen. I want to warn you about women. Keep away from women. That's what got me her’. That's my last voice. Lord Jesus, I was the first one. Hello, I'm the one, but. gentlemen, don't kill me." The current ended his wild harangue. ST. SIMONS CLOSES’ AFTER GREAT SEASON BRUNSWICK, GA..

Felder, attorney general, has the finest "buzzer" in the state cap itol— a "buzzer” being, of course, an JAMK3 R Njvnt electrical contrap tion used in lieu of a beii. for the purpose of calling messengers, por j ters and the like. | "Buzzers” are ■ affected most per sistently by bank ers. brokers, gov ernors and attor ney genet als, and they carrj with them a certain as surance of great respectability and dignity. When a. "buz zer” buzzes —this all byway of pre liminary—t h e re- fore, underlings and minor attaches hop lively, for that means a signal from the Big Noise, and get-a-hump-on time is at hand! Tom Felder's "buzzer” is one nf the most sonorous and insistent that ever buzzed. It seems to penetrate into the remotest corners of the capital, and it never fails to impress visitors mightily. The average innocent bystander thinks life, with a "buzzer" like that at one’s elbow and the authority attaching to use it, must be a complete and utter Joy! But Felder takes no joy in his "buz zer.” He uses it. because he believes in perfect order and decorum around and about the establishment. A "buzzerless" attorney general would be almost a disgrace to any well regulated administration—Felder knows that, appreciates the gravity of it. and he uses the "buzzer” regularly, the while he hates it ever worse than Satan ever hated holy water! The attorney general's procedure, i wishing the porter, is usually somewhat after this fashion: Felder pushes "buzzer." and "buzzer" buzzes after the persuasion of a rip saw. The porter doesn't come—h£ knows better than to come then. He understands the hissing nate of Felder for "buzzers," and for all creatures, persons and things conjured up “buz zer-wise!" After the second “buzz,” Felder goes out into the lobby and does a vocal turn. "Tom! Hey. commere!” booms through the corridors. Then Tom hikes for the attorney general’s office, and everything is pretty! Felder has a choice anti-"buzzer" vo cabulary that he unwinds now and then for the delectation of particularly inti mate and personal friends —but nobody yet has ventured to print that in a family newspaper! Every little old political organization in these United States has an electoral ticket on file for use in the Georgia November elections, save and excepting the Prohibitionists. The Democrats have their Wilson electors, of course; the Moosers their T. R. ticket—they, at last, came to gether fraternally and sweetly—the reg ; ular G. O. P.'s their Taft exhibit, and the Socialists their Debs frame-up. The embattled and sometimes pugna cious Prohis alone have left this Crack . er Armageddon undisputed! CLEANSE/OUR LIVER AND BOWELS WITH DELICIOUS “SYRUP OF FIBS” Removes the sour bile, gases and clogged-up waste without gripe or nausea.

Most of our ills are caused by consti pated bowels. We all need a laxative sometimes; nobody can doubt that. The only question is: Which one is the best? and that isn't a question any more.
