Aldine Chambers Severely Roasts James G. Woodward
In this morning’s paper appears a statement in a
paid advertisement, signed by James G. 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.

PAPER in reference to the price of ASPHALT IS
UNTRUE. Read the following statement of Mr. Tull
Waters:

TULL WATERS' STATEMENT
THE ATLANTA GKUH4iULN AJND xNEWS. 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 $21.75 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

Lawyers Appointed
To Defend Negroes
CUMMING. GA.. Oct. I.— Fred Mor
ris, of Marietta; Isaac Grant, of Jas
per; Howell Brooks and John Collin'-,
of Canton, and A. H. Fisher, of Cum
ming. were this afternoon appointed by
Judge New t Morris to defend the four
I negroes now held in jail Atlanta who
i will be brought hsre tomorrow for trial
Thursday. Judge Morris asked that
two or more of these lawyers meet the
prisoners at Buford and confer witli
them as to their defense before they
reach Cumming. The trials will begin
at S o’clock Thursday morning. Judge
| Morris, from the bench, warned the.
j people of Forsyth county that the pris-
oners would be under protection of the I
military and that any demonstration I
might lead to serious if not fatal conse j
quences.
At the morning session of court
Judge Morris called eight lawye s, in
cluding Messrs. Morris and Brooks, but
each one offered an excuse for not de
fending the negroes. At the time all
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 comptroller general today called
upon the governor to appoint an um
pire to arbitrate the tax returns of the
Seaboard Air Line, which have been in
dispute many weeks.
W hen the road returned its property
for taxation originally the comptroller
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 road to
name an arbitrator.
Ths Seaboard named Thoel Ham
mond, of Atlanta, and he and Mr. Can
dler have been endeavoring for weeks
to reach an agreement as to a third
man, but without success.
The comptroller today, taking cogni
zance of the failure of Candler and
Hammond to gat together, asked the
governor to intervene and name the
third arbitrator, which he has the right
to do.
Ihe 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
tax assessment to Augusta voters on
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. i eformatory was not approved by
Governor Brown until August ffi, 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.

Birmingham Woman, Found in
Atlanta by Husband. Begs
Him Not to Take Her Back.
Smarting under the sting of gossip.
Mrs. A. A. Linaberry. 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
sparch for her. Linaberry accompanied
the detectives on their hunt, and when
the 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 has 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.

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.
