GOODWIN IN OLIVER TWIST 5 REELS PICTURES ALL SEATS 25 CENTS TROOPS TO CH BLACKS ON TRIAL I Martial Law Will Rule Cum ming When Accused Negro Assailants Are Arraigned. ’After a consultation between Judge Newt Morris. Adjutant General Obear I and Governor Brow n yesterday , it was j determined to =end sufficient state troops to Cunrlwing next week to in sure the entire protection of the ne groes to be tried there for participation in two recent assaults upon white women in Forsyth county. Feeling against the negroes is bitter in Forsyth and surrounding territory, particularly since one of the victims died. Cool heads believe that only the sternest of measures can avoid a lynch ing. if the negroes are brought to Cum ming for trial. Governor Brown is averse the idea of a change of venue for the trials, be. cause he fears that might so work on the feelings of residents that the lives of innocent negroes would be endan gered. The diabolical details of one of the assaults has aroused a general feel ing of uncompromising hostility toward the negroes throughout all the section concerned. It is likely that the ful military strength of Gainesville and Marietta, two companies, will be sent to guard the negroes, and it is possible that a company from Atlanta may be used. Hundreds of negroes have been | warned to leave Forsyth county imme ; 'liately. and numbers of farmers em j ploying negro help nave been threat ened. Martial law will be declared by the governor while the trials are in prog ress.

Woodwards charge that a political ’Ting" was making a liagrant effort to get control of tne government of Atlanta and county, and Aldine Chambers an nouncement that Mr Woodward’s rec ord would be attacked at a rally ~t iIP Orpheum tonight, the contest for mayor took on decided new life today All the candidates have sidestepped more or less, the real issue of the dav 2 Chief Beavers’ crusade against vice jf their attitudes are continued Chief Beavers and his office will eclipse the mayor and his office during the next ad ministration, no matter which one is mayor. Everyone around the citv hall is DU! ' zled over the effect of the .-hief’s or der on the mayoralty contest \ s ( )te matter stands, the chief has almost ah solute authority over the police depart nient so far as enforcing the law is con cerned. He was raised to the" hea.’ Os the department by the police com mission for no fixed term. If other offi rials expect to exert any direct author-' ity over the chief, the commission would have to change its rule of "chief in fact as well as name." Every indication Is that Beavers is to have a free hand. "Uncle Jim” Woodward said todav that there was a threatened coalition between some of the city and some nf county officials, inspired by interestei] outside speculators. He severely ciMi clsed some of the recent chart?- amend ments credited to Councilman Urfin- Chambers, declaring the amendments tended to take the power of govern ment away from the people.
