n.rse, and. going Eo the loft, found the
man partly concealed under the hay.
The prisoner, named Giltnore. had but
no, months of a two years’ sentence to

take part in the delivery, but had not
desired to escape and was glad to go
ha. 1, to the prison.
\ eport received from the hills says
that a posse has surrounded seven of
I the eight convicts, who took to the
rough country after breaking from the
prison stockade. Two posses have been
I .searching for them.
Two companies of militia under arms
waited during the morning for word
I from Governor Carey that might send
them after the convicts or to subdue a
riot in the prison itself.
I Citizens of Rawlins are in a state of
semi-panic following the double deliv-
I ery and the desperate fighting within
and just outside the city, which result

I wounding of twelve others.
I Following the last outbreak, which
I occurred Sunday night and which re-
I suited in the death of two men and the

I mayor has placed an armed guard of
I volunteer citizens around the prison to

Ten Men in Second Delivery.
I In all ten men engaged in the second
I delivery. They' overpowered a warden
I and marched out of the stockade after
I arming themselves with al! the weapons
I they could find. Just outside the stock-
I ade they encountered Fred Stauffers.

I cursion. He attempted to halt them
I and was shot dead. A short distance
I on the men encountered John Small, a

AUSTRALIAN TELLS HOW
ATLANTA CAN ABOLISH
ITS SMOKE NUISANCE
W. Felton Fuming, of Melbourne,
Australia, says Atlanta can get rid of
her smoke just as Melbourne did, if she
will try.' Mechanical stokers are the
thing, he says.
Mr. Cuming is the advance guard of
a party of about 70 chemists who are
touring the country and who will ar
rive -tn Atlanta tomorrow for a day’s
visit. They will be the guests of the
Georgia section of the American
Chemical society, which will give a
barbecue, an auto tour and a banquet
to the visitors, most of whom are from
Germany.
"Atlanta doesn't seem to be so.badly
smoke-burdened," said Mr. Cuming,
who spent Saturday and Sunday here.
"I have seen Pittsburg. Honestly, I
didn t see the sun while I was there.
Atlanta could be worse.
“But you could rid your city of a
great deal of this smcfke, nearly all. by
mechanical firing. It would save the
manufacturers a great deal. too. it is
simply a question of burning all the
coal and leaving nothing to make
smoke.
Prohibition Fails in Antipodes.
"I have had a fine time in America—
almost too fine a time, I think. The
committees which meet us are so much
fresher than we, and there are so many
new American drinks to be introduced
to. I understand Georgia -is what you
call ‘dry.’ We have tried that in parts
of Australia, but with small success.
"I see you have been having a strike.
But you Americans do not know what
strikes are. You should see them in
Australia. We can not bring in new
labor there to take the places of strik
ers, you know.”
Mr. Cuming is head of the Melbourne
firm of Cuming, Smith & Co., and he
pronounces the last woid just as it is
abbreviated, to rhyme with no or dougn
or so. His “co” makes heavy acids
and fertilizers and he is especially in
terested in the great fertilizer plants of
the South. He is a jolly, delightful
talker, with an English accent which
would make some of our stage come
dians green with envy. He seems to
like America very well, but declined to
give his "impressions” of Atlanta after
a short stay.
"But I like it. and I like its people,"
he admitted. ."They seem open-hearted
and clever. Atlanta seems more like
an Australian city than any other 1
have seen.”

Men and Religion Bulletin, Extra
“God is in Our Midst”
LEST WE
FORGET
Justice has never been absent from our midst.
Mr. Chambers said in a letter to two men:
‘' Atlanta is a metropolitan city, where every class of honest men are welcome.
*' For you or any other set of fanatics—to be allowed to dictate the method of protecting
and furthering the moral and industrial welfare of this city, would be a blow at the vitals of
Democratic government. j
“And I do not propose ever to be a party to any such procedure.”
All honest men agree with him in his statement of principles.
Had Mr. Chambers ever deviated from it, or withdrawn it, even to kill ” Woodwardism,”
disgraceful as “Woodwardism” is, good men could not have supported him.
Mr. Chambers has not done so; he reiterates the statement of principles today; this Exec
utive Committee says “Amen.”
A courteous question was then addressed to Mr. Chambers by more than seventy-five of
Atlanta’s preachers, who have only the good of the City at heart.
This question removed misunderstanding and made it clear that neither the men, ad
dressed by Mr. Chambers, nor the churches of Atlanta seek to dictate.
The churches, as is their duty, strive only to throw light and reveal pitfalls. <
Mr. Chambers answered the ministers and pastors respectfully.
Mr. Woodward regarded his doing so and revealing that which was Mr. Chambers’ in
tention from the beginning as an evidence of “ imbecility anl insincerity.”
This is not surprising in Mr. Woodward.
It is only another evidence of the moral obliquity of the man who does not respect man
or woman or God.
Mr. Woodward asks: “Why such insane enthusiasm for my defeat?”
The answers come with mingled sorrows and joy:
GOD.
THE CROSS OF CHRIST.
JUSTICE.
THE HONOR OF WOMEN.
THE PURITY OF GIRLS.
OUR HOMES.
AND THE NAME OF ATLANTA.
As Mayor of Atlanta, at Toledo, he disgraced our City by a drunken debauch.
An occasion demanding his official attenti on arose»when he was Mayor.
He could not be found.
City officials had to search for him through the houses of 111-fame of Atlanta.
In a moment of blindness, despite his past, Atlanta again nominated him for the office of
Mayor.
He repaid her by forgiving forgetfulness with a debauch, the details of which are too
revolting to print.
He was found in a state of indescribable filth in the “red light” district of Atlanta.
Now, while his mouth reeks with obscenities in the streets, backed by the owners of the
houses, which were in our Midst, through cards signed by an unnamed committee, he talks of
reverence for things which he elsewhere blasphemes, deplores mudslinging and seeks to hide
the only issue—decency against indecency, the sole question:
“SluQl Atlanta be fair and unashamed, or defiled and abashed before all men?”
Hell doubtless resounds with the moan.
“No mud slinging.”
Pictures of fire and brimstone have obscured the bitterest of the torment, which more
than one man has deservedly felt even before death has called him before the Judgment Bar
of God.
And that is the revelation of a man’s life and character to all eyes.
“Mudslinging?”
No one has thrown, or will throw mud, up on Mr. Woodward.
The disclosures of his failures and sins, so long as he remains in private life, would be
unpardonable.
But when Mr. Woodward offers for office in the City, which he has so often and fright
fully disgraced, it is the duty of those who love Atlanta to direct the light of publicity upon
the man to reveal the mire and degradation which he has put upon himself, while making his
City’s name a by word throughout the civilized world.
No blue and white ballots are needed Tuesday at the polls.
All necessary is the conscience of man.
Remember!
Those who fight for evil, never fail to vote.
Your failure to vote will therefore be equivalent to a vote for evil.
Can you, before God and Atlanta, fail to vote against Mr. Woodward?
Can you, before God and Atlanta, vote for him?
Go to the polls and vote, not according to the dictates of man, men or churches, but In
obedience to the voice of your conscience
These truths are spoken with neither bitterness nor feeling toward Mr. Woodward
When allied with “Protected Vice,’’ he seeks to be Mayor of Atlanta, the truth is told
and prayers for his defeat offered to our God.
And we believe that He has heard.'
Wf rest assured that God will make an end of “Woodwardism” in Atlanta,
