SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
It will be conceded generally through
out Georgia that Mr. Thomas E. Wat

Mr. Roosevelt will
be worth many
votes to the Bull

No man in the
state has so many votes that he may
depend upon utterly, and at a mere
wave of the hand or suggestion.
And it is not that this following is
blind or unintelligent, for it is neither.
It merely is that the Watson following
believes implicitly in Mr. Watson, and
that it goes his way because it believes
ills way is the right way.
While it Is true, however, that Mr.
Watson’s support of Mr. Roosevelt will
win many votes to the Rough Rider, it
is equally true that it will spur Demo
crats to renewed activity.
There are many voters In this state
who will line up actively for anybody
Mr. Watson is opposed to —and it is
but fair to say, perhaps, that these
voters are neither blind nor unintelli
gent!
Mr. Watson is at once both the most
hated and the most loved man in Geor
gia, in certain quarters.
His "bolt” to Roosevelt has added
considerable ginger to the campaign,
anyway.
Herbert Clay, the newly elected so
licitor general of the Blue Ridge cir
cuit, discussing the execution of two
negroes in Cumming yesterday, talked
today most interestingly on affairs in
Forsyth county, political as well as
otherwise.
"It is difficult for a person living
away from Forsyth county to under
stand the feelings of the people there,
and for that reason they should not be
censured too harshly for tearing down
the big fence which had been erected
to prevent the execution of the crimi
nals in any way other than as the law
provides,” said Mr. Flay.
“The politics of Forsyth may be more
or less mixed, but upon the question
attaching to the execution of these two
negroes the people are united. It may
be that they would not have restrained
themselves had the military not been
sent along with the criminals. As to
that I am not prepared to say, I am
glad the execution was carried out le
gally; it would have been a deploragle
thing to have hud a lynching In Cum
ming yesterday.
“The feeling agalns. ne negroes ex
ecuted im*v be measured and estimated
By JAMES B . NEVIN
in away when I say that Forsyth
county, since the crimes that precipi
tated the present situation were com
mitted, has been absolutely freed of
negroes entirely. I honestly believe
that the two negroes executed in For
syth yestreday were the only two ne
groes in the county at the time!
"So shocking and so inhuman were
the crimes for which the negroes died
that a big wave of indignation swept
over the county, utterly wiping out the
negro section of its population. I do
not mean that negroes were killed, but
I do mean they were forced to leave
the county, and in some parts of the
same a number of negro houses and
churches were burned.
"Among the wholesale withdrawal of
the negroes from Forsyth county were
many, of course, who were law-abiding
and relatively inoffensive. But For
syth c’ounty was no place for them—
they were, and are, better off else
where.
“I do not attempt to moralize par
ticularly with respect to the situation
now existing in Forsyth. I think it
must bo something like that which ex
isted throughout the South right after
reconstruction times—a negro is a ne
gro in Forsyth right now. and the peo
ple up there are unable to differentiate
between them particularly.
"The greater part of the negroes de
parting from Forsyth merely have
gone into adjoining counties, and. by
and by, some of them may drift back to
their old homes; but 1 do not think that
will be soon. And I do not think For
syth county will be safe for them for
a good many days to come.
"I think the governor has won the
respect of the people of Forsyth in
seeing to it that the negroes got a fair
trial and a legal execution—even
though to guarantee that to them he
had to protect the people of Forsyth
against themselves.
"The sheriff and county officials may
have dreaded the possible effect upon
themselves politically by insisting that
the law be carried out, but nothing of
disaster will come to them, I am sure,
because they did their duly under their
oaths.”
The Georgia friends of Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt—and he has very niahy
warm friends and admirers in this state
—are interested in the suit for libel he
has brought against a Michigan news
paper that attacked him viciously not
long ago for alleged intemperance ir
language and liquor.
Os course, Colonel Roosevelt’s Idea
is merely to establish a record in refu
tation of the ancient charge, never sus
tained, that the former president hab
itually overindulged himself In strong
drink. For the charge of intemperance
in language he cares nothing whatever,
perhaps.
It is possible that a number of peo
-1 pie, never so situated that they might
intelligently study Colonel Roosevelt at
close range, believe the stories set afloat
’ from time to time with respect to his
intemperance. As h matter of fact,

HONIt FDD GRADY
NURSES PLANNED
Sixteen Sets of Drawings Sub
mitted for Proposed New
$50,000 Structure.
Definite steps were taken tpday look
ing to the building of a handsome $50,-
000 home for the nurses of Grady hos
pital, to be situated on the hospital
grounds.
Sixteen sets of plans, submitted by
as many architects, have been placed in
the hands of Dr. W. B. Summerall, the
superintendent, and from these the plan
of the new home will be chosen. The
officials of the hospital will be aided in
their choice by an advisory architect,
whose services have been engaged for
this purpose.
The officials contemplate a home that
will comfortably house 96 nurses. When
it is completed the corps of nurses,
which is now abnormally small, will be
immediately increased to meet the de
mands of the hospital. This will mean
the realization of a long needed im
provement in the efficiency of the insti
tution, the present shortage of nurses
having proved a serious problem for a
long time.
Plans arc expectedto bo selected with
in the next few days, after which the
matter will bo taken up with the city
council with the view of procuring an
additional appropriation before actual
work of building begins. Only a small
appropriation is now available.
The Grady nurses have long sought a
new home and are enthusiastic over the
preparations started for the new struc
ture. The present building is'an old,
ramshackle, overcrowded affair that
has been in use for years and falls fat
short of the requirements of a real
nurses home.
“We are planning for the future as
well as the present.” says Dr: Summer
all. "and want to erect such a home as
will meet the demands of the hospital
as it grows and forces an increase in
the corps of nurses in coming years.”
drink, is one of the most sparing of
drinkers —he rarely touches anything,
and when he does, it usually is a light
wine.
If any class of men in this world
know Mr. Roosevelt for what he really
Is, personally and otherwise, it is the
newspaper correspondents accredited by
the big dailies to Washington city
Their undivided testimony is that Colo
nel Roosevelt has merely been the vic
tim of mean slander in the matter of
his alleged intemperance—just as other
presidents before him have been.
Colonel Roosevelt seems determined
to establish by a court record, how
ever, that which those who really are
acquainted with him already know to
be the truth—and perhaps It is just as
well, for there Is no good reason why
anybody anywhere should believe that
old Intemperance falsehood.
Monday is the last 'day the court of
appeals granted Judge Fite, in the mat
ter of deciding whether he would pay
his fine or go to jail.
The judge n'-ver has said which lu
will do—but the betting is that he wil
pay the tine.

U. 5. TO LAUNCH
NEW BATTLESHIP.
New York To Be Sister Ship of
Dreadnought Texas—Cost
$6,000,000.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—Plans havs
been completed for the launching of
another of Uncle Sam’s monster battle
ships. The new addition to the navy is
the New York, whose 27,000 tons of
steel hull and superstructure now lie
in the Brooklyn navy yard, awaiting
the coming of the elite of official Wash-,
ington on October 30 to take her initial
plunge into the water.
More than the usual preparations
have been made for this first baptism
of the great leviathon. President Taft
and Secretary of the Navy Meyer have
been asked to be present and have ac
cepted, the navy yard will be bedecked
with flags and bunting and thousands
from New York city have already re
ceived cards admitting them to the
launching ceremonies. The battleshin
will be christened by a daughter of
Congressman Calder from me mnpire
■tate. .
The New York is a sister ship to the
battleship Texas, which was launched
at Newport News a few months ago.
Like the Texas, she will have an arma
ment of fourteen-inch guns. Ten guns
of thl» size will be carried in the main
battery. She will also have 21 five-inch
guns strung along her sides.
The, New York will be about 1,000
tons larger in displacement than the
Wyoming and the Arkansas, the pres
ent largest ships of the navy, and about
5,000 tons larger than the Florida, the
last battleship built at the navy ■ ,
She is 573 feet long, with 95 feet
beam and a draught of 28.5 feet. The
New York will cost when finished aixiui
$6,000,000. The ship’s keel was laid on
September 11, 1911 She will be about
60 per cent completed when she is
launched. When ready for sea she will
be equipped with engines capable of
generating 28,100 horsepower, which are
expected to drive her at the rate of
21 1-2 knots an hour.
