“City Needs Higher Moral Tone."
Dr. S R Belk, pastor of the 1 (Park
Street Methodist church, declared that
the city needed a higher mora tone and
for that reason needed a morally right
eous head. He continued by saying
that no city not governed by men of
religious ns well as financial responsi
bility could ever hope to attain promi
nence as a center of uplifting Influ
ences and that Atlanta needed a great
shock to wane It from its deadly in
ertia
Dr W. P Lovejoy. presiding elder of
the Atlanta district of the Methodist |
church, also spoke at the Park Street
church. His remarks on the mayoralty
election followed the same lines as
those of Dr. Belk's. He added that the
safety of the city lay in greater vigi
lance of the voters in judging the moral
as well as the business side of the can
didate.
Rev R O Flinn, pastor of the North
Avenue Presbyterian church, dei'aicti
that ihe moral character of an> candi
date wa' greater than any financial or
business standing that candidate might
p.is.-css The character of the people,
h. sail!, depended upon t ie character of
those chosen as otfieia s an.i with an
immoral official the poop e could not
hope to have a mora! government.
Calls Public Conscience Dead.
'The people of At anta seem to have
consciences that ar- absolute.v dead,'
said Rev M Flinn. "How they can
expect to have righteous laws when
nr. ighteous men are in office is mote
than any one can understand It Is no'
a oca. question, fnr if local men. not fit
for office, are chosen as officials, lhe
same unwise choice will prevail over
lhe election of nationa" officers and will
cause the mora ruin of the nation"
Dr. John E. White, at the Second
Baptist chu r ch, said that when the peo
ple elect a men to office the\ must be
come responsible for him He ale. btred
no one could subordinate the moral
Issue tn government and discredit it in
politics without positively denying his
Christian citizenship. He sad that the
world outsde would ludgs Atlanta by
Atlanta's choice for mayor, and that
any retrogression from the high stand
ard set four years ago would mark At
lanta as a low-toned moral community
“The conflict is between those who
want a city of easy-going vice and < '

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 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.
In this I trust that I have not failed.
Os course, there have been evidences of disappointment in the
I
camp of our opponents, because of this policy, but I have found it im
possible to conduct the campaign to meet their approval.
I have not had, nor have I now, any more interest in this
campaign than the humblest citizen in this city. I shall ask nothing,
1
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 lhe uplift of
I 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 >ou for what 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.
Most Respectfully,
I J. R. SMITH.

ADEL BANKER’S WIFE
SLAYS HER HUSBAND. |
THEN ENDS OWN LIFE
ADEL. GA . Oct. 14.—This usually
quiet town was thrown into a state of
excitement when the bodies of M. A.
Crosby and w f* 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
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 l and.
Neighbors beaut the muffled report of
the gun about 11 o'clock at nig'it. but did
not think such a tragedy was being*
enacted.
D. T’. 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. T>. affairs of the bank are in
good condition. The motive for the kill
ing is sbiouded in mystery, 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
reau drawer. He left his propertv to
his wife and children.

He says that during his two years’ serv

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
effect that there wts 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—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.
COURTLAND S. WINN.
