MSI HISTORY IS INJECTED INTO NIAYDJRACE Line of Attack Has Shifted From Personalities to Late Municipal Affairs. The mayoralty contest reached such 8 degree of intensity today as to be virtually a probe of city affairs tor several years back. Ail ihe faults and all the virtues of the city government of more than passing interest are being sited through newspaper advertise ments. This line of attack, together with the efforts of the Men and Religion For ward Movement, has in a measure switched the issue of the campaign from the personalities of the two can didates, James G. Woodward and Aldine Chambers, about whom the tight has raged up to the present. Mr. Woodward has gone deeper with his charge that a "ring” !■ in control of the city government, and has brought forth what he terms evidences of mis management. He has charged that much of the $3,000,000 of bond money has been wasted. Mr. Chambers emphatically denies that any “ring” exists, and, with a number of his prominent supporters, liaa offered proof that the bond money has been rightly spent. He declared that all the faults of the city govern ment could not be saddled on hlsshoul dera, because he has had nothing to do with a great deal of the work. Prayer meetings were held In a num ber of churches yesterday afternoon by women, responding to a. call of the Men and Religion Forward Movement. The call declared that. Atlanta faces a crista and that the issue purely was a moral one. The leaders of thhi movement have gone farther In their fight against Woodward today, and requested the ministers of the city to preach on the mayoralty issue from their pulpits to morrow. ■ I . .Wl I I.

Patterson & Son may answer hurry calls for the ambulances or draw the slowly moving hearses out to Westview or Oakland. There may be demands which take every animal out of the barns and necessitate hiring others, but old Frank still meanders peace fully about the stable or his pasture, his shoes off and his back unburdened, thinking only of the corn which comes as regularly as the day. For old Frank is on a pension. Frank would be gray with age by this time if he were not white by nature. He was born 30 years ago, on the same day which ushered Fred Patterson into this world of sorrow and tribulation. When Frank and Fred were five years old' Frank joined the firm in the capacity of carriage horse. Fred didn't become the "Son’’ on the letterheads until consid erably after. For 25 years old Frank has served the firm faithfully. He and the boy who was born on the same day grew up together. But a horse's age comes on ‘him fast, and while Fred is in his prime, old Frank is weak from age. So he has been retired on a pension of two meals a day and his rent. • "He shall never wear the harness again,” said Mr. Patterson. "A horse which has served as faithfully as Frank deserves rest and attention for the re mainder of his days. "Sell him? Let him be' driven to YOUTH, WORRIED BY RESPONSIBILITY OF NEW JOB, KILLS SELF Worry over the responsibilities of his new position as chief clerk of the At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail road and his own youth led Hugh H. Mansell to shoot himself in the breast more than a week ago. He died yes terday. He was but twenty years old, and the place he was appointed to fill was one heretofore held only by men of much greater experience. He was wor ried about It and talked of it constant ly. Early in the morning of October 3 he shot himself at the home of his brother-in-law, Charles R. Harris, with whom he lived at 21 Longley avenue. The funeral arrangements will be an nounced later.

Oct. 12.—That every church member who is also a member of a locker club should be expelled from the church is the opinion of the Floyd County Baptist association, which passed resolutions to that ef fect. The association in its resolution calls on the churches of the city to drive out the locker club members. One church has approved the resolution and all members who drink liquor must get out. Every club is shut down. It Is be lieved all the blind tigers have taken to their heels, frightened by the chain gang sentences imposed by Judge Mad. dox on convicted liquor sellers.

Delicious “Syrup of Figs” best for their little stom achs, liver and waste clogged bowels. Look back at your childhood days. Remember the physic that mother tnsls. ted on-—castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it’s different. The day of harsh physic is over. We don't force the liver and 30 feet of bowels now; we coax them. We have no dreaded after effects. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don’t realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-founded. Their little stomacns and tender bowels are Injured by them. If your child Is fretful, peevish, half sick, stomach sour, breath feverish-and its little system full of cold; has diar rhoea. sore throat, stomach-ache; doesn’t eat or rest well—remember— look at the tongue, if coated, give a tea spoonful of Syrup of Figs, then don’t worry, because you surely will have a well, smiling child in a few hours. Syrup of Figs being composed entire, ly of luscious figs, senna and aromatics simply can not be harmful. It sweetens the stomach, makes the liver active and thoroughly cleanses the little one's waste-clogged bowels. In a few hours all sour bile, undigested fermenting food and constipated waste matter gently moves on and out of the system with out griping or nausea. Directions for children of all ages, also for grown-ups, plainly printed on the package. By all means get the genuine. Ask your druggist for the full name "Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna” prepared by the Califorlna Fig Syrup Co. Ac cept nothing else. (Advt.) TO THE PEOPLE OF ATLANTA: The Chambers Campaign Committee has refrained from a mud slinging con test. There have been so many truths we could have told—there have been so many records and incidents we could have exposed—there have been so many un pleasant things, so many real unfortunate happenings in the private and official life of the opponent of Mr. Chambers that to have simply recorded them for the information of the voters would have raised the usual howl of “mud slinging” from his supporters. We believed the citizens of this City had been given a sufficient dose of the offensive and nauseous records in years gone by. Pursuing this course, we had a right to expect that the men shooting from ambush—the men hiding behind Candidate Woodward —the men whom nobody knows and to whom, for that reason, no responsibility can be attached—the Wood ward Campaign Committee—we say we had reason to believe that no vilification, no serious misrepresentation, no deliberate attempts to deceive—in short, no “mud slinging”—would be resorted to by them. We believed this, because, as we said in the beginning, there were so many truths we could again call Atlanta’s attention to. But have you observed their vicious, malicious, deliberate attempts to muddy the campaign by vituperation? Have you observed how, by falsifying, by misrep resentation, they have tried, in their desperate straits, to overcome the defeat which is staring them in the face? For instance, have you noticed some pictures used in their misleading ad vertisements—pictures of a mule and wagon apparently mired up in a muddy street? Os course, there are muddy streets in Atlanta. There always will be some. But, will you read the affidavit herewith submitted in which the sworn state ment is made that the picture was a posed picture for the deliberate purpose of misleading the voters of this city? That two boys were paid for their time and services to go out to this street—the muddiest one they could find after a rain— and, with a poor old mule, made to look like he was pulling for dear life, when, as a matter of fact, he was being held in check by the driver—they sought to make it appear that this was an everyday occurrence, and that MR. CHAMBERS WAS TO BLAME FOR THIS CONDITION. How ridiculous, and how manifestly unfair! For several days the Woodward Campaign Committee has tried to make it appear that Mr. Chambers had classed as a “Common Blackguard” every man who voted for Mr. Woodward. Mr. Chambers made no such statement. Read for yourself what he said. Mr. Chambers has said repeatedly that he knew many misguided but good men—men who had only the interest of Atlanta at heart— had been misled into voting for Mr. Woodward. Mr. Chambers did say that Mr. Woodward was a common blackguard. For this, his Campaign Committee have no apology to make. Without being charged as “mud-slingers,” but simply to prove to those that might not personally know the man, we quote a few lines from one of Mr. Woodward’s last appealing, mis representing statements—at least a statement prepared by his mysterious, unknown committee. It says: “Mr. Woodward has the utmost reverence for God, the Church, and things re ligious.” Only two days ago he boldly walked up to five good citizens on Broad street, and, in a voice loud enough to be heard fifty feet away, denounced the workers and those interested in the Men and Religion Forward Movement in this city, in language so vile, so obscene, so profane, so contemptible and disgust ing that it sickened those who heard him. It was not an expression containing simply a damn or an oath or two, which is characteristic of some “cussin’ ” men, but the language was as foul as ever came from mortal lips—so obscene that, of course, it can not be printed nor re peated without bringing the blush of shame to the man repeating it. We had cherished the hope that his statement regarding hisj “reverence” was true, but we fail to reconcile his two statements —one printed, the other spoken. We can produce affidavits from those to whom this language was used. They are such men as Nym. McCullough, Frank Bell, Howard Pattillo, John McCul lough and A. Wasser—men, however biased, you know well enough to know they would tell only the truth. These are some of the things we have had to combat. This is the style of campaign this mysterious Woodward Campaign Committee is conducting. But the people have their eyes and ears open. They have rallied to the battle cry, “CHAMBERS AND ATLANTA!” Again the committee desires to return thanks to the hundreds and hundreds of volunteers who have so cheerfully come forward and tendered their services in this campaign. We will not soon forget you and your interest and your good work will be remembered by Atlanta for all years to come. J. R. SMITH, Chairman Chambers Campaign Committee. THE FOLLOWING AFFIDAVIT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF! GEORGIA, Fulton County: Personally appeared before the undersigned, L. L. McGahee.who, being duly sworn, deposes and says that he is a retail grocer, at 347 Peters Street, and the photograph published in The Atlanta Georgian over the signature of the Woodward Campaign Committee, showing a mule and wagon, apparently stalled, is misleading and untrue. The mule and wagon belonged to me, and my son is seen in the wagon. The negro holding the mule is my driver. The negro driver stated he was paid to pose for this picture, and for driving into this hole to have the photo graph taken, according to his own statement, the place being specifically selected for the posing of this picture. lam informed by my driver that they were not stalled, nor did they experience any difficulty in going out of this bad place, which was caused by a terrific rain. I make this statement for the purpose of being perfectly fair in this campaign. ' L. L. M GAHEE Sworn to and subscribed before me, this 11th day of October, 1912.
