GA , Oct I "The Self Help league" is the latest organization In the city A series of lectures on vital subjects is proposed Aldine Chambers Severely Roasts James G. Woodward In this morning’s paper appears a statement in a paid advertisement, signed by James Gr. Woodward, "candidate for mayor." He richly deserves the title "candidate for mayor" because he has been a chronic candidate for the last twelve years, and if he had also added "candidate for chief among blackguards and slanderers" he would have been accorded that place without dispute. Woodward says that "I am a ring candidate." I have heretofore published the names of the good and true citizens of Atlanta whom I am charged with dom inating in city politics. This list includes some of the best business and professional men in the city of At lanta and some of the best men in the ranks of labor, men whose shoe latchets Woodward is not worthy to tie. If men of this type banded together for good gov ernment can be called a ring, then I am willing to suf fer the consequences of being supported by such a ring. WOODWARD’S STATEMENT in the MORNING PAPER in reference to the price of ASPHALT IS UNTRUE. Read the following statement of Mr. Tull Waters: “I stated at a meeting of the Public Works Com mittee recently that the ASPHALT TRUST wanted to SHE'S A GLOBE-TROTTER \ Me SjftwA— Or A ’ . i ' *L ’ \ \ / */ ih Ito— 1 W \ w nA uM \ iwiiiß MMff. -t \ & B - Miss Isla Tudor. who is Hie most traveled youngster on the face ot the globe.

TUESDAY. OCTOBER 1. 1912. I notice in this connection that Woodward has never published the name of a single person who is supporting him. It is for the reason that his support is all under ground. The city of Atlanta pays 521.75 per ton for asphalt f. o. b. Atlanta. Add freight rates from Philadelphia to Atlanta and see how much more is paid by Atlanta than Philadelphia. This is another canard that is ut terly groundless. I only wish to say that Woodward has been may or two terms and a candidate for mayor six times—and where are the wonderful results which accrued from any administration of his? It is a well known fact that every progressive act passed during his administra tion was passed over his veto and his protest. The public are tired of being humbugged by Woodward’s claim that he accomplished wonders when mayor. He gives no credit to the members of council or the other public spirited citizens who took part in whatever movements were inaugurated during his disgraceful administrations. charge Fulton county for asphalt delivered in Atlanta S3B per ton, whereas we had information that the prices charged in Philadelphia were $lB per ton (not sl3 as quoted in the morning paper). The county board has therefore held up the letting of the contract as we thought this TOO GREAT a difference, notwith standing the question of freight rates. THE COUNTY MARTIAL Li NOW RULES GUMMING Trial of Negroes Will Be Safe guarded by Four Companies of State Militia. j Continued From Page One. — implies to the contrary, tile usual laws' of the community will be in i force. Grimes will be tried by mil- . itary commission or by civil court as may be most practicable as the I governor mat decide. No publications, either by news paper, pamphlet, handbill or other wise reflecting in any way upon the United States or the state of Georgia or thei officers, or at tending to influence the public mind againsf the United States or j the state o' Georgia, or their offi i cert?. and no article commenting • in any way on the work or actions of the military authorities will be permitted. All assemblages in the streets, whether by day or by nignt. are prohibited, and arms wili be borne only by permission of the military commander. Any persons found on r 'ie streets who appear to be habitually id!? and without occupation will be placed under arrest. Poo! rooms, near-beer saloons. I disorderly houses and places where ammunition or firearms of anv kind are kept for sale must be closed immediately Disorderly rendez- ! vous of any kind are prohibited. While it is tile desire of the au thorities to exercise the powers of ; martial law mildly, it must not be j supposed that they will not be vig orously and firmly enforced as oc- ! c,talon arises. Lawyers Appointed To Defend Negroes CUMMING. GA. Oct. I.—Fred Mor i is. of Marietta: Isaac Grant, of Jas ! per; Howell Brooks and John Collins, i of Canton, and A. H. Fisher, of Cum ming. we:e, this afternoon appointed by Judge Newt Morris to defend the four negroe* now held in jail Atlanta who ; will be brought here tomorrow for trial (Thursday. Judge Morris asked that two or more of these lawyers meet the prisoners at Buford and confer with them as to their defense before they reach Cumming. The trials will begin at 8 o'clock Thursday morning. Judge Morris, from the bench, warned tho (people of Forsyth county that the pris- i loners would be unde-' r.rotection of the | military and t. Jt any demonstration might lead to serious if not fatal conse- I quences. At the morning session of coutt Judge Mori is called eight la wye s, in cluding Messrs. Morris and Brooks, but each one offered an excuse for not ue- I fending the negroes. At the time all I were excused. Four of them had been retained to assist the solicitor genera! in the prosecution. Today the Forsyth county grand jury returned true bills against Ernest Knox, alias Ernest Daniel, and against Oscar Daniel, two of the negro prisoners, charging them with assaulting the white girl, whose death led to a lynch ing here last month. The girl’s father appears as prosecutor. GOVERNOR ASKED TO APPOINT ARBITER IN SEABOARD TAX FIGHT The comtXroller genera', today called upon the governor to appoint an um pire to arbitrate the tax returns of th ■ Seaboard Air Line, which have been in dispute many weeks. When the road returned its property tor taxation originally the comptrolle I was not satisfied with the showing, and, under the law. failing to reach an adjustment with the road, appointed Railroad Commissioner Murphy Can dler arbitrator upon the part of the state, and called upon the toad to name an arbitrator. Th? Seaboard named Thod Ham mond. of Atlanta, and he and Mr. Can dler have been endeavoring for weeks to reach an agreement as to « third man. but without success. The comptroller today, taking cogni zance of the failure o* Candler and Hammond to get together, asked the governor to inte:vene and name the third arbitrator, which lie has the light to do. The governor likely will name the third arbitrator this afternoon. AUGUSTA TAXPAYERS CAN NOT STOP VOTE ON INCREASE OF LEVY Judge W. R. Hammond's recent ill ness has caused one of Augusta's many political battles to be staged in Fulton superior court. Richmond county tax payers appeared before Judge Bell to day and asked that he enjoin election managers from submitting a proposed I lax assessment to Augusta voters on I tomorrow. F. P. Reynolds, B. R. Green and J. W. Jenkins, plaintiffs in the suit, told the court that the charter amendment passed by the legislature providing for a reformatory was not approved by Governor Brown until August 16. 1912. Before an election on such an amend ment can be called 60 days legal notice must be given. The attempt to hold the election to morrow along with the general state election was characterized as an at tempt to rush through a tax raise without giving Augusta voters due no tice of the fact. Judge Bell refused the injunction. ALDINE CHAMBERS EXILES SELF TO ESGIMSSIPS Birmingham Woman. Found in Atlanta by Husband. Begs Him Not to Take Her Back. Smarting under the sting ot gossip, Mrs. A. A. Lansberry, an attractive young woman living in Birmingham, came to Atlanta two weeks ago to seek seclusion and to hide herself, even from her husband. She was found today by Detectives Gillespie and McGill. living quietly in a down-town hotel, and was turned over to her husband, who came here to search for her. Linaberry accompanied the detectives on their hunt, and when tne missing wife saw him. she threw her arms about his neck and kissed him time and again. "Don’t take me back to Birmingham," she pleaded. "1 don’t want to go back there until this cruel gossip is stop ped." The husband pacified her by promis ing not to take her to Birmingham. Shortly afterward, husband and wife boarded a train for Chattanooga, where Mrs. Linaberry lias relatives. Linaber ry is a locomotive engineer. Mrs. Linaberry left her home to come to Atlanta on a visit, and since that time her husband had heard nothing from her. MASHER STATIONED AT A CEMETERY ARRESTED CHICAGO. Oct. I.—Thomas Stams, a waiter, was arrested, charged with hang ing about a cemetery to flirt with girls and women who came to put flowers on the graves of relatives. A Fighting Cock I feel like a fighting cock ” ia the expression of the man with an active liver —he tackles his work with vim— he is successful —nine times out of ten you wili find he takes Tutt’s Pills which have been used by a million people with satisfac tory result. At your drug gist’s—sugar coated or plain. This campaign is simply an issue of decency against indecency and involves merely the question of whether a common blackguard, who will stoop to any unscrupulous slander, and who has adopted such meth ods in his race for mayor as to almost frighten any de cent man from entering a race against him, shall be placed by this city at the head of its government and thus advertise to the world that a majority of her people are of the Woodward type. This morning’s publication is Woodward’s dying wail. The people of Atlanta will bury him so deep po litically that he will never rise again to vex this city with his disgraceful politics, his dirty and slanderous methods and the low plane to which he aspires to bring the campaign for mayor upon every recurring mayoralty election. I am confident that at the primary on Wednesday I will receive a majority of all the votes cast and that the city will be spared the humiliation of Woodward’s participating-in a second primary. BOARD REQUIRES competitive bids on all material bought by the board; NO ONE WITHIN my knowl edge, OUTSIDE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS them selves have ANYTHING TO DO with the question of prices paid by the board for material bought for the county. The board endeavors to get the lowest possi ble prices on all of its purchases. (Signed) TULL C. WATERS SLEUTH LOSES JOB AFTER MYSTERIOUS HOTEL ROBBERIES ' HICAGO. Oct.
