NEW BATTLESHIP
New York To Be Sister Ship of
Dreadnought Texas-Cost
f 6.000.000.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—Plans have
been completed for the launching of
another of I’nele 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 elete 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 leviathoq. 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 battleship
will be christened by a daughter of
Congressman Calder from the Empire
state.
Tile New York is a sister ship to tin
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 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 tn 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 yard.
She is 573 feet long, with 95 feet
beam and a draught of 28.5 feet. The
New York will cost witen finished about
$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 capableSof
generating 28,100 horsepower, which are
expected to drive her at the rate of
21 1-2 knots an hour.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
It will be conceded generally through
out Georgia that Mr. Thomas E. Wat
son’s active and aggressive support of
Mr. Roosevelt will
be worth many
votes to the Bull
Moose candidate.
It is idle to eon
tend that Mr.
Watson has not aWr ■•’dp fLljb

No man itt 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 —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 lias 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 ror 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
“The politics of Forsyth may bo 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 hail th< military not been
sent along with the criminals. As to
that lam not prepared to say. I am
glad the execution was carried out le
gally: it would have been a .deploragle
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 the present situation were com
mitted, has been absolutely freed of
negroes entirely. I honestly belieye
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. J 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.
“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 ami county officials may
have dreaded the possible effect upon
themselves politically by insisting that
the law he 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
dore Roosevelt—and he has very many
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
ple. 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 a matter of fact,
there never was the slightest founds-,

HOME FOR GRADY
NURSES IS PUN
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 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 meat;
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 xpeejed to 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
appropriation is now available.
■Tite Grady nurses have long sought a
new home and are nthusiastic 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 ami falls fat
short of the requirements of a real
nurses home.
"We are planning for th< 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."

newspaper correspondents accredited by
the big dailies to Washington city
Their undivided testimony is that Colo
nel Roosevelt has merely been the vic

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 belleva that
old intemperance falsehood.

ALL PARTIES WILL
USE LIKE BALLOT
Bull Moosers Follow Demo
crats in Going Back on Pro
posed Pink Slips.
The decision of Chairman William J,
Harris, of the state Democratic execu
tive committee, to withdraw the pro
posed "pink” ballot for the exclusive
use of Wilson and Marshall voters In
the forthcoming national election lj
generally approved. If comment amonj
political observers In Atlanta Indicates
the, feeling throughout the state.
While the ‘pink" unquestionaably
was urged by Chairman Harris origi
nally as a seeming safeguard to the
party, it was very clearly of doubtful
legality, and Mr. Harris himself real
ized that eventually.
One high legal authority, who at first
thought the proposed "pink” might be
entirely within the law, afterward
changed his opinion, in the Federal
aspect of the matter, and said that 11
might be successfully protested as in
timidation and duress, and for that
reason was dangerous. In that opin
ion he was sustained by a great many
other lawyers of repute.
Moreover, there was a growing re
sentment all over the state—upon the
part of several members of the state
committee, among others—against th«
use of the “pink,” and the implied ne
cessity of checking up voters inside tha
Democratic party as to their presiden
tial choice. Particularly was this re
sentment manifested among those who
sincerely desire that there may be nc
shadow of cloud upon the title of Wil
son and Marshall to the Georgia elec
toral vote. In any event.
W. J. Tilson, of the Progressive cam.
palgn committee, said today that there
was no real foundation for the report
that the Bull Moose party ever hac
contemplated seriously the use of t
“pink” ticket in Georgia.
“We let the report go out that we
might use a ‘pink’ merely to call the
bluff of the Democratic spokesman. We
might have had a few ‘pinks’ printed,
had the Democrats really carried
through their fantastic scheme. I see
they have come down off that horse,
however. The Progressives nevet
would have voted any ticket other than
the customary white—the state com
mittee never contemplated anything
else. We wish everything to be regulai
and fair —that's all.”
Chairman Harris said today that al'
“pink” tickets printed and scheduler
for use would be recalled, and that th<
Democratic organizations throughou
the state would be advised to •tic)
’tight to the regulation white.
