The Atlanta Georgian:
Sirs Noticing in your paper that the

a convention and exposition in Atlanta
In December, I write to suggest a novel
feature which should be of Interest to
all. 1 propose a gas meter race, with
classes for competition among various
manufacturers and private owners or
lessees.
If this can be arranged. I will enter
the three-year-old gas meter now on
duty at my residence, provided the ex
position authorities will furnish the
gas. I hardly feel up to that added
expense. I will hack my meter to spin
at 30,000 revolutions per hour under
ordinary city pressure, and Just after
being read and oiled it Is good for 40,-
000 turns.
Several of my neighbors contend that
their m.eters can make mine look as

exhibit lust month's bills to prove it.
I have no doubt that thousands of At

ARTIFICIAL MILK
FORLONDDNERS
Manufactured Product Is Supe
rior to Cow’s. Asserts Man
Behind New Process.
LONDON, Nov. 5. —An artificial milk,
manufactured from vegetables, which
is said to contain all the elements of
the best cow’s milk, and can be used
for the same purpose, was shown to a
gathering of scientists in London.
Among those present were Sir William
Crookes, representatives of the home
office and the local government board,
several medical officers of health, and
other members of the medical profes
sion.
A. J. Fauldlng, who will be responsi
ble for the introduction of artificial (or
synthetic) milk to this country, told a
press representative that it was more
digestible than ordinary milk, and its
cream was far more nourishing. The
milk could be used for all cooking pur
poses, and very good eneese could be
made from It, but it would not produce
butter. As the milk was germ free, It
would keep longer than cow's milk.
The discovery was the work of three
Germans, who spent three years in per
fecting it. The process of manufacture
was simple and always produced the
same result. It was not touched by
hand, or exposed to atmospheric intlu
cnee until it was poured into bottles for
delivery.
The principal vegetables used in the
manufacture of the milk, added Mr.
Fauldlng. were Soya beans—Japanese
and Chinese beans—and it would yield
a certain profit sold at 3d a quart.
Cheese could be produced at 3d a
pound. Analyses would be made by’
public men and the results published.
It was proposed later to form a com
pany and erect factor ies for the manu
facture of the milk.

Big Vote for Wilson
Where He Married
SAVANNAH, GA., Nov. s.—Under fav
orable weather conditions the people of
Savannah and the First congressional dis
trict are casting their ballots for president
today. An organized effort Is being made
to get out an unusually full Democratic
ote. It is the desire to give the nominee
a handsome complimentary vote In the
county where he was married. Both Taft
and Roosevelt will receive some votes.
The negroes will vote their full strength,
divided between Taft and Roosevelt.
The early morning vote was not large,
but the voting has been steady since the
poll* were opened. It is hoped to get out
the biggest vote for a national election in
the history of Chatham county.
"Letters and telegrams I have received
In the last few days from friends all over
the United States indicate a veritable
landslide for the Democratic party,” said
Congressman Charles G. Edwards upon
his return today from a speaking trip to
Tatnall county.
"From the Information I have received
I do not see how the Democrats can fail
to win a glorious and overwhelming vic
tory today. Based upon this information
that has come to me through authentic
sources and upon the way I am able to
size up the general situation I predict
that Wilson and Marshall will secure a
victory that will be unprecedented In the
size of its majority.”
HEAVY VOTING IN FOURTH.
COLUMBUS, GA., Nov. s.—Partially
cloudy weather prevails throughout the
Fourth district today, but rain is not

tickets in the field—Democratic. Pro
gressive and Socialist. Taft's name is

the exception of Gilmer, Pickens and
Dawson counties, the indications are
that Wilson will carry solidly the Ninth
congressional district. He will carry
15 of the 18 counties. In Hall county

CATRON IffISES
FORSYTHSHERIFF
That W. J. Reid, sheriff of Forsyth
county, sought to incite riot at a dan
gerous and critical time and deserved
arrest for his conduct is the assertion
made by Major I. T. Catron, of the
Fifth regiment, in his report of the re
cent double hanging at Cumming. Ma
jor Catron’s charges have been filed
with Adjutant General Obear and will
be sent to Governor Brown today.
"Th’e sheriff so conducted himself,"
said Catron, “that if the sentence of
the court could have been carried out
without him I would have placed him
under arrest for inciting riot.
"I believe he was playing for political
advantage and would have welcomed
an opportunity to espouse openly the
side of the mob. He was boisterous;
went where everybody could see him,
and wrestled with a young man, drag
ging him down hill by the foot, and in
other ways tried to create a scene. ,
“The mob around the fence behind
which the negroes were held awaiting
execution kept calling to him to let
them know when he needed them, and
he would call back to them that he
would do so.
"He was yelling constantly to people
outside of the fence. He insisted on
wearing his revolver where everybody
could see it, and his son also carried a
revolver all of the time."
Urges Law to Cover Such Cases.
In making recommendations to the
adjutant general for the handling of fu
ture cases. Major Catron urged the
passage of a state law which will per-'
mit the governor to remove such a
sheriff.
Major Catron said that "hen the
troops arrived in Cumming sifter mid
night of October 24 they learned that
the fence around the gallows had been
burned. The law requires executions to
take place privately and the troops of
fered to rebuild the fence. The offer
was refused, although tiie lumber was
at hand. Major Catron maintained tha:
Sheriff Reid purposely delayed the ex
ecution from 10 o’clock in the morning
until noon to permit the mob to gather.
In conclusion, Major Catron says:
“I had every reason to believe that
the sheriff was entirely in sympathy
with the would-be mob and that he se
lected the place for the gallows solely
that the fence might be torn away and
the spectators might have a good view
of the execution. I belief that he eon.
nived with the mob in tearing away the
wall and that his own henenmen actu
ally did the work."

the capital stock of a company with
$68,000,000 of outstanding insurance

WOODWARD'S AND
CHAMBERS’ MEN
IN OPEN MR
Council Is Rent by Factional
Politics—No Secret Made of
Bitter Fight.
Members of council freely admitted
today a long drawn fight between the
Woodward and Chambers factions is
inevitable. From offering olive branches
and denying that any fight was intend
ed, the members of council now are
playing factional politics in the open
The Chambers faction is the aggres
sor, while the Woodward faction is. as
yet, on the defensive.
The Chambers faction all but suc
ceeded in working a neat trick at tht
meeting of council yesterday. They
wanted to take from the mayor the
right to appoint the custodian of the
building, because Joseph Shearer, the
present custodian, was active for Cham
bers in the mayoralty contest, and it is
generally expected Woodward will drop
him from the city pay roll when he goes
into office.
Goes Through by One Vote.
The buildings and grounds commit
tee, headed by Aiderman James W.
Maddox, and made up of Chambers men,
offered an ordinance making the custo
dian elective by council instead of by
the buildings and grounds committee.
The mayor appoints the committee, and
therefore controls the election of the
custodian.
The ordinance passed without any
one of the opposition knowing what had
happened. The custodian was to be
elected the first Monday in December,
for a term of two years, at a salary of
$1,500 a year.
Then Mayor Pro Tem. Candler ruled
that the ordinance would have to be
voted on separately by council and the
aldermanic board, because it looked to
the appropriation of money.
*A new vote was taken. Council
adopted the measure by the slight ma
jority of 12 to 11.
It is said the Woodward faction has a
majority against the measure in the al
dermanic board.
No ‘‘aye and nay” vote was taken
and It was impossible to get an accu
rate list of the line-up of council.
Locker Club Fight Resumed.
The charges that the fight over locker
club permits was inspired by politics
were reiterated at the meeting of coun
cil yesterday.
Aiderman John E. McClelland de
nounced the club of Aiderman J. B.
Everett, the Metropolitan, as an open
barroom and a place for questionable
women to gather.
He declared that if council would re
refer the permit to t.ie police commit
tee, he would prove his charges.
Aiderman Everett arose and declared
the charges to be false.
"Don’t slap me in the face, gentle
men." he said. "Grant me the per
mit.”
"This man has no right to ge* U p as
an aiderman and make a personal re
quest," cried Alderman McClelland “He
has sat here and voted against clubs
that are better than his.”
The Moose club permit was refused.
The Metropolitan, the Georgia Ath
letic, the Theatrical and -the Terrace
clubs were referred back to the com
mittee for further investigation.
On Its own initiative the committee
decided to investigate further the Press,
the Bees and the Central clubs.
Council voted $l5O for a complete
audit of all the clubs.
