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 W oodward is not worthy to tie. It 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 m reference to the price of ASPHALT IS UNTRUE. Read the following statement of Mr. Tull Waters: “I stated at a meeting of the Public W T orks Com mittee recently that the ASPHALT TRUST wanted to SHE'S A GLOBE-TROTTER I • 4* d 1 / \ \ Kill * WWIm / $•- ~U " W / $ Iw Misslsla I mlor. who is lhe most traveled youngster on the face ot ilit- globe.

WATERS’ STATEMENT THE ATLANTA GEUtUiIAN AND NEWS. 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 m embers of council or the other public spirited citizens who took part in whatever movements were inaugurated during his disgraceful administrations. chaige 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.

Continued From Page One. implies to tne contrary, the usual laws of the community will be in force. <'rimes will be tried by mil itary commission or by civil court as may be most practicable as the governor may decide. No publications, either by news j paper, pamphlet, handbill or other wise reflecting in any way upon the I'nited States or the state of I Georgia or their officers, or at tending to influence the public mind against the I'nited States or the state of Georgia, or their offi cers:, and no article commenting tn any wav on the work or actions of the military authorities will be permitted. All assemblages in the streets, whether by day or by nig.it, are prohibited, and arms will be borne only by permission of the military commander. Any persons found on the streets who appear to be habitually idle and without occupation will be placed under arrest. Pool rooms, near-beer saloons, 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.

Lawyers Appointed To Defend Negroes • TMMING. GA., Oct. 1. Fred Mor jits, of Marietta; Isaac Grant, of Jas ; per; Howell Brooks and John Collins, i of Canton, and A. H. Fisher. of Cum ming. were this afternoon appointed by Judge Newt Morris to defend the four i negroes now lield in jail Atlanta who ! will be brought it/re tomorrow for trial Thursday. Judge Morris asked that two or mote of these lawyers meet the prisoners at Buford and confer with them as to their defense before they teach Cumming. The trials will begin at 8 o’clock Thursday morning. Judge .Morris, from the bench, warned the people of Forsyth county that the pris- oners would be under protection of the military and that any demonstration might lead to serioue if not fatal conse quences. At the morning session of court Judge Morris called eight la wye: s. in cluding Messrs. Morris and Brooks, but each one offered an excuse tor not de fending the negroes. At the time all were excused. Four of them had been retained to assivt 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 comptrotier genera! 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. The Seaboard named Thod 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 get together, asked the governor to intervene and name the thitd arbitrator, which he has the right 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 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 reformatory was not approved by Governor Brown until August 16, 1912, Before an election on such an amend"-* n an - be ea ” ed 60 da J’ s le^a > 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 ESCJFEGOSSIFS 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 bide 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 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. "I 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. 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 ” is the expression of tne man with an active liver —he tackles his work with vim— he is successful —nine times out of ten you will 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 I 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.
