4 SEES HOPE FDR I DR. M’NAUGHTON I Colonel Saffold Thinks Mrs. Flanders’ Trial Will Clear Condemned Physician. Colonel Frank Saffold, of Swains boro, one of Dr. McNaughton s attor neys, talked most interestingly today of the famous poisoning case, and the di rection to be given it by the prison board, after having heard the plea for executive clemency. Colonel Saffold said. "All we ask is Justice for Dr. Mc- Naughton. and we are gratified beyond measure that the prison board Is to recommend that the doctor be respited until his alleged accomplice can be tried, and that the governor Is to lend a favorable ear to the recommenda tion. "Dr. McNaughton can not be guilty of poisoning Fred Flanders, unless the woman jointly indicted with him also is guilty. If the state can not convict her, It must have erred in convicting the doctor. Her trial will throw a bright and illuminating light on the Mc- Naughton case It may—and I believe will—clear the doctor absolutely of all . suspicion of crime. "Dr. McNaughton should be kept 1 alive at least until after the trial of I Mrs. Flanders, In order that he maj’ tes tify, If necessary, In the case against the woman. We realize that wo have , lost the doctor's case In many courts, but we Invariably’ have lost on techni- , cal points of law, and not on the facts. ( It is for Just such cases that the rem- , edy of executive clemency’ Is provided ( "The prison board and the governor , will be rendering the state, which , stands for exact and Impartial Justice, , a high and patriotic service in Insisting , that McNaughton bo not executed, in , nny event, until his alleged accomplice , in crime, who never ba> been called to account, and who is now at large on a paltry’ $2,000 bond, has been convicted or acquitted.” It is understood, in view of the di rection to ho given the McNaughton case by the prison board and the gov- ( ernor, that a strenuous effort will be ] made to call Mrs. Minnie Flanders to trial at once—possibly within the next ( two weeks. If there is no violent opposition to j that, and her trial may be brought , about without further delay, the famous ( McNaughton case may be, at least, nearing its end. 1 In any event, the doctor will not hang ] so long as the case against the woman is pending In the courts. SKINTROOBLE ' BURNED AND ITCHED 1 Little Blisters Formed on Ankle, i Raw Red and Inflamed, Swelled ' Badly, Could not Wear Shoe, Cu- , ticura Soap and Ointment Cured, Sharps, Va. —“A scratch with the finger ' ®n iny ankle caused the trouble. After the skin was scratched off Just a small place then little blisters formed around it, 1 which made quite a largo sore. The sore was raw and the skin red and very much inflamed. It caused the ankle and foot to •well very badly. It continued to spread and became very hurtful, bo at times I could not sleep, it. would burn and itch so, but so tender I was afraid to scratch. It hurt so I could not wear my shoe. I tried many remedies and also washes, but all proved a failure. It was sore for four years or more, until I was recommended to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment for healing the skin. I purchased a box of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of Cuticura Soap and when I had used two boxes of Cuticura Ointment with the Cuticura Soap, ft made a permanent cure and has not been sore since.

Once in an Eastern city a man asked his friend whom he was going to vote for. out of several candidates. "I don't know." he said, “but 1 thank God I can't vote for but one of them.” i - A, "V There are Just two kinds of men and women In the world —the effi cient and the In efficient. There is one universal call for the efficient — in church, In phi lanthropy, in all business copcerns —most of all in civics. With Ig norance and Inca pacity at the helm, no city can pro ceed. No citizen Is too small to as. sist In process of trying to help things along. Read this story: While men are trying to eradicate graft and protected vice from New York, Philadelphia and other great cities, the example of Virginia Brooks, of West Hammond, Ind., should not be overlooked. Miss Brooks is only a girl in her twenties, who inherited property In West Hammond. At the time she was a resident of Chicago. In looking after her Inheritance she discovered that the assessment was very high and wont to see about it. She was soon on the trail of graft. The 5,000 inhabitants of the town are nearly all poor people, most of whojn have an Imperfect knowledge of English, and the grafters found them easy marks. Practically single-handed and alone, the girl be gan to investigate and soon found that thousands of dollars were being taken annually from the taxpayers. Vice and gambling were protected and flourished on the main streets; the town was overrun by saloons; the white slave traffic was in full force, and generally the place was not only “wide open,” but the bosses were reaping the profits. Girl Elects Reform Mayor, Miss Brooks made her first trip to West Hammond only about a year ago, and yet recently, through her efforts, a reform mayor and aiderman wore elected, and a vigorous attempt Is going forward to clean up the town. Through letters to the Chicago papers and by other means this young girl has gone forward in a task that many strong men would have hesitated to undertake. Best of all, she is winning out. We need a Virginia Brooks in every city in the land. The first thing behind any great movement must be public opinion— never fear the demand for men will create men. Never yet was there a great occasion, a great opportunity but some hero arose to fill the place de signed for him. People sometimes ask: 'What leader have we got?” And the answer is - any number of successful captains of industry, men of ability, high-minded, God-fearing, who are only waiting for the call. The Chamber of Commerce has a great opportunity and a great responsibility to which It seems, at last, to have awekened. Its members have the right and the duty to form them selves Into a nominating committee to say who shall stand for the city ano lead us to heights of progress and sue. cess as yet undreamed of. The whole city is behind them, even the Women whose aid they have formerly invoked, when they promised us a better gov ernment. Have they kept the faith? When Mrs. Belmont was asked if she was supporting Mr. Roosevelt, site said: "Oh, no; he has fooled us too often!' Gentlemen, take »aie. Even the worm will turn. Am I My Brother's Keeper? This Is the age of co-operation, of consolidation, of elimination, of far reaching effort along many lines of hu man endeavor. The world is growing better every day. is growing smarter every day, for it is proved that tls the part of wisdom to be good. The great conservative movements of the present age are fraught with significance. There is no room for the degenerate. The weakling—mental, moral or physi cal—is set aside for special attention and intelligent and loving care. But he no longer marches with the proces sion. No, indeed! When competition is free from im position it helps business. When par tisanship is free from bitterness it helps statesmanship.

No question is understood thoroughly until the for and against are heard. It is difficult to define truth, because truth to one man may not be truth to another, and yet both may be right. It is the same with wrong. However, there are two universally recognized spirits in this world that are diametri cally opposed to each other. They' are called Good and Evil. Whatever their source may be we shall not attempt to explain. It is sufficient for us to know that they are here. Power of Good and Evil. On the side of Good we find right eousness, justice, tolerance, knowledge, love and happiness. On the side of Evil there are ignorance, superstition, intemperance, misery and selfishness. The Individual who rubs against the destructive forces and overcomes them with Good grows stronger with every stroke. The one who forsakes the voice of file conscience grows weaker. Now, some people argue that certain evils have prevailed since the days of Moses, and will ever prevail. Not so. Nothing is done as it was in the days of Moses. The world has progressed Science and religion have come to the rescue, and by the force of an enlight ened public opinion we restrain our brother from harming himself—in a way’ that, like a pebble cast h; a pool, would leave an ever-widening circle of misery, harming others also. We congratulate the gentlemen of the Chamber of Commerce that they have taken the affairs of our beloved city in hand—as tlie whole city is stirred by recent events. Let’s eradicate the old landmarks and have a new, clean, beau tiful city rising again like a Phoenix-- a blueprint city, with lines drawn and definite plans made for all time, that even the women will approve of.

(Advt.) NOTICE. September 16, 1912. The annual meeting of the stockhold ers of the Atlanta and West Point Rail road Company will be held at the office of the company, room fl in the At lanta Terminal Sta’lnn, Atlanta, Ga., at 12 o’clock noon, Tuesday, October 15. 1912. W H. BRUCE, Secretary’. (Advertisement.) Men and Religion Bulletin, Extra “The Churches in Our Midst” “I Know That in Ignorance Ye Did It.” -Acts 3:17 The Churches in Our Midst are not in politics. Their Committee, the Executive Committee of the Men and Reli gion Forward Movement, is not in politics. Therefore, believe no man who tells you that this organization, as such, is supporting any candidate for office. It is not; it will not. But this Committee and the Churches to which it owes its life will keep before you facts which are vital. Prior to the action of Chief Beavers in closing the houses and end ing “protected vice ’ ’ in Atlanta, Mr. Woodward now a candidate for the office of Mayor, stated publicly that he was in favor of a policy of strict segregation. The other candidate, Mr. Chambers, made no public utterance in this connection other than a general statement that he favored the enforcement of the laws of Georgia. Neither candidate has made a public statement, since the action of Chief Beavers, with reference to him and his position. Chief Beavers, as an honest man, had no alternative. The simplicity of the ordinances of the City of Atlanta makes the existence of protected vice impossible in the city, so long as the chief of police regards his oath of office as superior to the clatter of poli ticians. Neither candidate fur the office of Mayor of Atlanta has stated that he will support Chief Beavers in doing his duty, as it is set forth in the Code of the City of Atlanta. Why is such a statement necessary? An Atlantan, who knows the world and the history of reform movements, one not in sympathy with this Committee, when he heard of the action of Chief Beavers, said: “An honest police official could have done nothing else, but it means the end of the chief. You crazy reformers forget. You urge a man to do his duty, then go to sleep and leave him with the bag to hold. The people back of these houses never sleep, never miss a trick. In less than two years, when you church folks are chasing another fad, the chief’s head will be taken off. They won’t strike openly now. But watch the line-up. They will get him!” The cynic is mistaken. This will not, can not happen in Atlanta, if the men in it are awake and watching, not for some great explosion in which to rush amidst tumultuous applause to the rescue) but for every movement in the leaves of the political jungle. The snake in search of its prey, scarcely stirs the grass and leaves. Be on your guard and crush its head. This city and the men who owe an eternal debt to Chief Beavers will never tire, will never sleep. And those who persistently demanded that the chief do his duty can not, with honor, knowingly support for public office any man or men who, for political reasons or otherwise, deliberately refuse to pub licly pledge themselves, if elected, to support him in his present course. The question is one only of law and honesty. Chief Beavers did not make the law which forbids the existence of these houses. His oath requires him to enforce the law, which leaves to him no discretion. Shall a man, solely because he regards his oath as sacred, be con- Much a character that men running for office in Atlanta dare not publicly say that they approve his honesty and obedience to law anu pledge themselves to back him and all other such officials? Keep cool. Think of the significance of such a situation. More is involved than appearances. The hour is critical. Without fail, Sunday, go to your church and pray for God’s guid ance of people and candidates. Neither candidate has declared himself. We ask that they do so unequivocally. Atlanta should and will indorse a man who does his duty with out fear. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE MEN AND RELIGION FORWARD MOVEMENT
