Txv> companies of militia under arms waited during the morning for word from Governor Carey that might send them after the convicts or to subdue a riot in the prison itself. Citizens of Rawlins are in a state of lemi-panic following the double deliv ery and the desperate fighting within and just outside the city, which result ed in the death of nine persons and the wounding of twelve others. Following the last outbreak, which occurred Sunday night and which re sulted in the death of two men and the wounding of a number of others, the mayor lias placed an aimed guard of volunteer citizens around the prison to prevent convicts escaping into town. Ten Men in Second Delivery. In all ten men engaged in the second delivery. They overpowered a warden and marched out of the stockade after arming themselves with all the weapons they could find. Just outside the stock ade they encountered Fred Stauffers, who was returning from a hunting ex cursion. He attempted to halt them and was shot dead. A short distance on the men encountered John Small, a liveryman, who tried to stop them. Small was wounded and the convicts fled to the railway yards, where they hid behind freight cars. The prison guards pursued them through the town. A battle was fought in the yards and Antone Pasquales, leader of the con victs. was killed. Two of the others were captured. Others were wounded, but escaped In all 30 men have broken from the stockade and nineteen still ar- at liber tv. Among them is "Butch" Halton, a notorious bandit, serving a life sentence for murder. ai^n s r f° r <* I : i> ft. -jf T| T' ': t ra * n * s p re tty I slow work I I But there’s no use get- ' ’ nto a ret - Don’t keep looking at ||l y° urwatch - Sit down, take a good chew, and settle ' back to happy thoughts.

Mechanical stokers are the thing, he says. Mr. Cuming is the advance guard of a party of about #7O chemists who are touring the country and who will ar rive in 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, 1 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 smoke,- 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 word 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 I have seen." Chemists Touring U. S. And coming from an Australian, At lanta may take that as a compliment. The International Congress of Applied Chemistry held its eighth convention in New York a short time ago and since then several parties of foreign visitors have been making a tour of the coun try. visiting great chemical and man ufacturing plants in which they were especially interested. They have been THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. OCTOBER 14. 1912. to Chicago, Pittsburg. Kansas City, New Orleans and all around. They are in Birmingham today and will spend tomorrow in Atlanta. Then they will visit the copper mines and furnaces at Copper Hill, near Ducktown, and aft erward make a trip to Great Falls, near Charlotte, N. C. When they.reach New York they will sail for home. Some of the foremost chemists of the great European laboratories are in the party, and many millions of dollars are repre sented. The Georgia section of the American Chemical society began more than a year ago to make preparations to bring the visitors to Atlanta, and under the direction of Secretary J. 8, Brogdon, enlisted the Chamber of Commerce in the entertainment plans. The program for tomorrow begins with an auto ride at 9 o’clock, with visits to the principal fertilizer plants, a barbecue at Cold Springs at 1 o'clock, a visit to the Southern Cotton Oil Company’s plant and the state capitol, and a dinner at the Capital City club at 7:30 o’clock. More than 100 guests will be in this party. COL. T. C. MILNER IS BURIED TODAY AT CARTERSVILLE, GA. The funeral of Colonel T. C. Milner, who dropped dead in the office of Dr. Stewart R. Roberts in the Candler building Satur day, was held at the Presbyterian church of Cartersville this morning at 11 o'clock, Rev. L. G. Hames conducted the services. The body was taken to Cartersville Sun day morning. Colonel Milner had lived in that city for many years and was one of the best known lawyers of that part of the state. He was solicitor general of the superior court and was one of Judge Fite's attorneys before the court of appeals last Saturday. A general fight over the vacancy caused by his death is expected.

LA GRANGE, GA., Oct. 14.—Mrs. N F. Awtrey, postmaster of this city, has decided to distribute all box mail on Sundays hereafter, according to an an nouncement made Saturday. The post master has been importuned by busi ness men to digress from the recent postal order in this regard. When you have a bad cold you want the best medicine obtainable, so as to cure it with as tittle delay as possi ble. Here is a druggist’s opinion; "I have sold Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for fifteen years,” says Enos Lollar, of Saratoga, Ind., "and consider, it the best on the market.” For sale by all dealers.

Impure blood is back of them all. and shows the need of Dr. King’s New Life Pills. They promote health and beauty. Try them. 25 cents at all druggists. (Advt.) 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. “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. < P 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 attention arose when he was Mayor. He could not be found. City officials had to search for him through the houses of ill-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: “Shall 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. “Mud-slinging?” 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 Wp rest assured that Gori will make an encl of “Woodwardism” in Atlanta. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Os the Men and Religion Forward Movement. 9
