How they can , eyp ct to have t'.giiteous laws when unrighteous men are in office Is mote than any one can understand.

A PERSONAL WORD Requested by the unanimous voice of 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 mudslinging, so far as it would be possible to prevent it. I I have endeavored to so conduct this campaign not only to win success for Mr. Chambers, but in such away that no sting, no bitterness would he left to distrub the feelings of any one. hi this 1 trust that 1 have not failed. Os course, there have been evidences of disappointment in the 1 I camp of our opponents, because of this policy, but I have found ii im possible to conduct the campaign to meet their approval. I have not had, nor have I now. any more interest in this I campaign than the humblest citizen in this city. I shall ask nothing, expecl 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==\ves. thousands===of citizens in this campaign. 1 thank you for whai you have done, and I thank you in advance for the loyal, untiring efforts you have pledged for tomorrow, the fulfillment of which makes success an assured fact.

Oct. 14.—This usually quiei town was thrown into a state of excitement when the bodies of M. v Crosby and wife were found dead in their bed rooii at their home here. .Mr. Crosby had receix’ed 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 while asleep and never stirred after be ing shot. His wife’s body was lying, on the floor, with the pistol still grasped in her band. Neighbors heard ti e muffled report of the gun about 11 o'clock at night, "but did not think such a tragedy was being, enacted. D. P. I.uke. 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. The affairs of the bank are in good condition. The motive for the kill ing is slirouded in my stery. there being no plausible solution to offer for the terrible act. other than despondency from ill health. Mr. Crosby's will was found in a bu lean drawer. He left his property to his wife and children. MOST SILENT PATIENT DIES AT THE AGE OF 79 LOS ANGELES. CAL..

HIS LETTER: Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 12th, 1912. Hon. J. R. Smith, Chairman Chambers Campaign Committee, City. 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 the effect that there wss 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 Citv Council under my administration, 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 experience to make a most capable Chief Executive of this City.
