It will be conceded generally through

Mr. Watson’s mere
request ' ’
* JaMS-A » WVIM
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
his 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—add 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 anyway other than as the law
provides,” said Mr. Clay.
"The polities 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. Ah to
that lam not prepared to say, I am
glad the execution was carried nut le
gally; It would have been a depioraglo
thing to have had a lynching in Cum
ming yesterday.
“The feeling against the negroes ex
ecuted may be measured and estimated
By JAMES B . NEVIN.
in away when I say that Forsyth
county, since the crimes that precipi
tated tile 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 county 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 be 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 I 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.
"1 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, 1 am sure,
because they did their duty under their
oaths."

The Georgia friends of Colonel Theo

warm friends and admjrers 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 in
language and liquor.
Os course. Colonel Roosevelt’s Idea
is merely to establish a record in refu

■ tained, that the former president hab
itually overindulged himself in strong

HOME FDD DM
NURSES PLANNED
I
Sixteen Sets of Drawings Sub
mitted for Proposed New
$50,000 Structure.
Definite steps were taken today 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 p.’ans. 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 are expectedto be selected with
in the next few days, after which the
matter will be taken up with the city
council with the view of procuring an
additional appropriation before actual
work of building begins. Only a small
i 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
1 as 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.”

U. S: TO LAUNCH
NEW BATTLESHIP
New York To Be Sister Ship of
Dreadnought Texas—Cost
$6,000,000.
NEW YORK, Oct 26.—Plans have
been completed for the launching of
another of Uncle Sain’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 levlathon. 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 thousand*
from New York city have already re
ceived cards admitting them to the
la.unc.hing ceremonies. The battlestr ■
will be christened by a daughter of
Congressman Calder from the Emp.
State.
The New York is a sister ship to the
battleship Texas, which was launch
at Newport News a few months ago.
Like the Texas, she will have an arma
ment of fourteen-inch guns. Ten guns
of this 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 vard.
She is 573 feet long, with 95 feet
beam and a draught of 28.5 feet. The
New York will cost when finished about
$6,000,000. The ship's kt eh was laid on
September 11, 1911. She will be about
60 per cent completed when she Is
launched. When ready for sea she wii
be. equipped with engines capable of
generating 28,100 horsepower, which an 1
expected to drive her at the rate of
21 1-2 knots an hour.
