Mrs. Lewis, w ho is now 'n Germany, and who had her tetvels with her. was robbed on a Cunard bner of SIO,OOO worth of jewels, and a suit to recover from the steamship com pany is still ponding.

Colonel James T. Mann, city attorney of Albany and one of south Georgia's most enthusiastic boosters, was in At lanta yesterday telling some remark able stories of pecan culture in south Georgia. He said that the nuts actually looked like bunches of bananas as they hung on the trees. The Eastern demand for them can not be supplied, he said, and it is easy to get $1 per pound for the entire crop. He said he had seen nuts this fail that would count only 30 to the pound and that they were almost as large as a man’s thumb. According to the colonel, the old Southern plantations are being cut up into pecan groves and land values are going higher and higher. He said that one man sold his farm the other day for $200,000. The farm, of about 700 acres, had 40,000 pounds of nuts on the pecan trees. THOMASVILLE TO HAVE WARM Cin CAMPAIGN THOMASVILLE.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND., Oct. 9. Lines of defense were laid bare by At torney N. M. Harding, in his opening statement before the jury trying the dynamite conspiracy case in Federal court. Mr. Harding began- his talk at the conclusion of District Attorney Charles W. Miller’s four-day statement to the jury yesterday. The defense will be that the 45 de fendants did not refer to dynamitings when they referred in their correspond ence to “jobs.” The defense further will attempt to show that President F. M. Ryan and other defendants, offi cers of the iron workers union, had no knowledge that any of their members were dynamiting non-union work.?. “The defense will prove to you," said Harding, "that when Ryan wrote to McNamara of ‘jobs;’ that when other defendants wrote of ’jobs’ they were simply doing their duty as outlined by the constitution of the organization, which provides that it shall be the work of the president to keep track of every report on structural iron work throughout the country that the union may keep track of its members' inter ests. * “The defense will show you that these defendants knew nothing of the destruction of non-union property by any of its members, and that whatever was done unlawfully was done by a few men acting secretly and inde pendently from the members of this union.” DIAMOND MERCHANT SUICIDE.

Broad St. Atlanta,Ga. “Rl Nfi”C AN DI D ATE CHAMBERS DEFEATED AT EVERY TURN Changes His Platform at the Eleventh Hour Chambers was defeated in the last primary. His defeat was decisive. Woodward’s plurality was a Democratic victory. Carl Guess was defeated for Councilman in the Third ward. His opponent did not receive a great plurality. Mr. Guess has withdrawn. He says that his opponent is the choice of the people. Chambers says: “I am the choice of the people. “I am going to insist on another primary.” No man can successfully defy the will of the people. . Mr. Chambers is going to find this out. Let’s get back to real issues. Chambers is the recognized head of the "RING” that spends your tax money. ‘ The various wards are almost in a state of revolt over the unbusinesslike manner in which street improvement money is being wasted. They have appealed to the courts for redress. But the “Ring” rules; they are helpless. A swan is said to sing just before it dies, and this is doubt less a sad and tender spectacle. But Mr. Chambers emits this morning a squeak that would melt the heart of a cigar store Indian. The old hen realizes that the days of scratching amidst the tax payer’s money for the official brood are over. Two great searchlights are piercing the rapidly lifting fog. First: Mr. Chambers stands alone for the existing “ring” rule, waste and inefficiency of the City Government. The pick ings have been rich; they have tasted good, and the taxpayers have been silently enduring.. Turn all that loose? Not if trick, personal abuse, scheme, device, use of money, lies, or fraud can prevent it. He and his “ring” mean to defend their possessions of the public property at any cost—just as the leader and his band of coyotes defend their “kill.” He turns any way, juggles . with any principle, abuses today and cringes tomorrow —if he tihinks a vote can be obtained. Last Sunday he viciously de nounced the Men and Religion Forward Movement; today he fawningly licks their boots. What will he do next? The second great truth is that this City wants a return to SANITY. It wants EFFICIENCY. It wants HONESTY. It wants some manner of minute RETURN for its BOND MONEY and TAXES. It means to have these THINGS. It will wipe Mr. Chambers and the RING off the political map next TUESDAY. Read his statement. It places him in the class with the crawfish; he can go for ward or backward. But he can not mislead the people. The people want a Mayor: they want a man of unbendable will and determination; one who will not be influenced by every wind that blows, who changes horses in the stream, and neglects the City’s most vital interest, while he busies himself building up a political “RING” to boost himself into the Mayor’s chair. But the four years’ hard work of “RING” building failed him at the crucial test. He was not elected. “RING” rule, personal abuse, beclouding issues, mud-sling ing, playing to both parties, thousands of dollars spent in his be half, ALL FAILED. There will be another election on October 15. Mr. Chambers faces a worse defeat than he experienced in the last election. Something must be done. Sincerity is a dead issue with him. Anything to be elected. He calls upon the men and women in Atlanta to drive Mr. Woodward and associates from the community. The balance of his tirade is equally ridiculous. He says Chas. C. Jones and a gang of gamblers are backing Woodward’s campaign. Chas. C. Jones voted for and supported another candidate in last Wednesday’s primary; therefore did not vote for Mr. Woodward. Such methods of campaigning as this can only result in the defeat of Mr. Chambers or any other man who aspired to office and uses the same tactics. Every man who votes for me knows I have not attempted to evade a single issue. I have not indulged in mud slinging; my life is an open book. Atlanta needs, and shall have, a businesslike government. My years of experience in the affairs of the city entitle me to the consideration of the people, especially in face of the grave sit uation which has arisen in regard to the City’s finances. It is time that the people who love Atlanta wake up to their civil duty and wipe out forever the damnable influence of “RING” politics. READ WHAT MAYOR WINN SAYS IN THE GEORGIAN YESTERDAY: “MUCH TRUTH’’FOUND BY MAYOR WINN IN WOODWARD CHARGES "Mayor Winn was asked today what he thought of the attacks of James G. Woodward, candidate for mayor, on the city government. "Tie looked very serious and replied " 'There is lots of truth in some of the things Jim Woodward has said. There are some things in connection with the city government that are in excusable.’ ” The People of Atlanta are aroused to their own interests, and Mr. Woodward will be elected Mayor on October 15 by the largest majority he has ever received at the hands of the People of Atlanta.
