church, a «o spoke at the Park St,.-,

A PERSONAL WORD
Requested by the unanimous voice oi hundreds of Atlanta's
good citizens to assume the management of the campaign of Aldine
Chambers for mayor, I could not refuse.
Duty demanded my acceptance.
Chief among the first things I resolved was that the campaign
should not he one of bitterness, of vituperation, of mud=slinging, so
far as it would be possible io prevent it
I have endeavored to so conduct this campaign not only to
win success for Mr. Chambers, but in such away that no sting, no
* '■ ’‘ll*
bitterness would be left to distrub the feelings of any one.
In this I trust that I have not failed.
Os course, there have been evidences of disappointment in the
camp of our opponents, because of this policy, hut 1 have found it im=
possible to conduct the campaign to meet their approval.
I have not had, nor have 1 now, any more interest in this
campaign than the humblest citizen in this city. I shall ask nothing,
expect nothing, receive nothing, from the administration more than
any other citizen.
We are all friends, and I take it we are all interested in one
causeMhe common good of this splendid city, and the uplift of
humanity.
I desire to return my sincere thanks for the loyal and cheerful
support of hundreds”=yes. thousands===of citizens in this campaign.
I thank you for what you have done, and I thank you in advance
for the loyal, untiring efforts you have pledged for tomorrow, the
fulfillment oi uliich makes success an assured fact.
Most Respectfully,
I J. R. SMITH.

ADEL BANKER’S WIFE
SLAYS HER HUSBAND.
THEN ENDS OWN LIFE
ADEL. £A . Oct. 14.—This usually
quiei town was thrown into a state of
excitement when the bodies of M A.
Crosby and wife were found dead in their
bed room at their home here. Mr. Crosby
had received a bullet in the eye and
Mrs Crosby was shot through the tem
ple. Both were dressed in their night
clothes 'Mr. Crosby was evidently killed
wi ile asleep and never stirred after be
ing shot. His wife's body was lying on
the floor, with the pistol still grasped in
her hand.
Neighbors heard ilp muffled report of
the gun about 11 o'clock at nig'ii. but did
not think such a tragedy, was being
enacted.
I' 1* Luke, acting coroner, held an
inquest, the 'verdict of the Jury being
that both came to their death by pistol
shots fired by Mrs Crosby.
Mr. Crosby was raised in this com
munity and. was cashier of the Bank
of Adel for a number of years. Mrs.
Crosby was raised at Arlington. Ga..
and was a Miss Colly before her mar
riage 'lke affairs of the bank are in
good condition. The motive for the kill
ing is s'uouded in mystery, there being no
plausible solution to offer for the terrible
act. other than despondency from ill
health
Mr. I'rosby's will was found in a bu
reau drawer. He left his property to
his wife and children.

THIS
From Mayor Winn
He says that during his two years’ serv
ice in the City Council under his adminis
tration Mr. Chambers has been progressive,
and at the same time safe and conservative
—a man of initiative, courage and ability,
who is fitted by worth, training and experi

HIS LETTER:
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 12th, 1912.
Hon. J. R. Smith,
Chairman Chambers Campaign
Committee,
City. f
Dear Mr. Smith:
My attention has been called to the
fact that Mr. Woodward’s Campaign Com
mittee has published excerpts from pub
lished statements recently made by me, to
tT»e effect that there was a measure of merit
in some of the criticisms recently made by
Mr. Woodward with reference to the city
government.
Lest my meaning should be misunder
stood. I wish to say at the time of making
the statements accredited to me, and which
were reported substantially correct, I had
just returned to the City Hall from an ex
amination of the work in progress on
Peachtree Street, between Harris and Ba
ker Streets, where I had discovered that
the work had not progressed toward com
pletion to the extent I thought it should.
I was annoyed over this situation, and
when asked what I thought of certain state
ments accredited to Mr. Woodward, I used
substantially the language as published in
the newspapers.
This was not intended, however, as as
senting to, or approving all of the criti
cisms made by Mr. Woodward. On the
contrary, I wish to say that during the
past two years, the terms of the bond ordi
nance have been strictly complied with by
the bond commission and the general coun
cil, and the bond money has been honestly
and economically expended as the people of
the city directed when they voted the
bonds.
Contracts for its expenditure have al
ways been let, after the fullest advertise
ment and broadest publicity, to the lowest
possible bidder, and in many instances at
a considerable saving over the estimate on
the particular work under consideration.
No man connected with the City Gov
ernment was more insistent and careful in
seeing that the terms and conditions of the
bond ordinance were fully complied with
than was Mr. Chambers. He has been
Chairman of the Sewer Committee during
the past two years, said committee having
the supervision of work of constructing
sewers and building sewage disposal plants,
and is entitled to the commendation of the
people of this city for the care close at
tention, business foresight and ability that
has characterized the discharge of his du
ties as Chairman of this most important
committee.
During his two years’ service in the
City Council under my administration, Mr.
Chambers has been progressive, and at the
same time safe and conservative -? man of
initiative, courage and ability, who is fitted
by worth, training and experience to make
a most capable Chief Executive of this
City.
