There Is Still Time to Help 250 Poor Children Get an Education
Atlanta's schools opened yesterday, but there still are miny poor children who will not be able to attend and get the education necessary to make them good citizens.
Their parents are too poor to buy them books and suitable clothing. Superintendent Logan of the Associated Charities has sent out an appeal for funds. The Georgian and
Sunday American has headed a subscription list with $50. Won't you help? Your nickels and dimes and dollars will make for a better citizenship in Atlanta. Contri
butions may be sent to the Associated Cnarities or to The Georgian.

BANK CASHIER INDORSES
BAGWELL BUSINESS COLLEGE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—Senator
Penrose, it was learned to-day, will
charge on the floor of the Senate that
more than 1.000 Americans have been
killed in Mexico since the present
"reign of terror” began. The Senator
will cite as his authority Governor
Colquitt of Texas.
Governor Colquitt's amazing
charges as to what has occurred In
Mexico are in the hands of several
Senators and members of the House.
He says;
“With scores of American women
mistreated and 1,000 American citi
zens murdered; with pillage, black
mail and ransom on every hand in
defiance of American citizenship, the
situation in Mexico Is beyond endur
ance.
“If Huerta tells President Wilson
to play his next card it means he
will have to invade Mexico or stultify
himself or his State Department.
President Wilson will have to fight
or make a Joke of his State Depart
ment and a rag of his nation’s honor.
“When I say scores of American
women have been ill-treated by Mex
icans, I speak the truth absolutely.
I personally know of such instances
In which the victims w r ere acquaint
ances of mine or my personal friends.
“Texas has 900 miles of border on
the Mexican frontier. It has been
my business to protect Texas citizens
from Mexican outrages, and I have
done so with a firm hand. I got more
satisfaction from President Taft than
I do from President Wilson.
“The handling of the Mexican situ
ation is a farce. Texas will take care
of her own citizens at all hazards,
and the United States can do as if
pleases. But let the Mexicans keep
their hands ofT our citizens and our
women.”
Fire Marshal Joyner
Inspects Columbus,
COLUMBUS. Sept. 9.—Columbus
will be inspected by the executive
committee of the Georgia Fire Pre
vention Society Thursday and Fri

of the committee at a meeting held in
Atlanta a few’ days ago.
There has not been an Inspection in
Columbus in feme time, but the large
number of disastrous fires of the past
two years has led State Fire Marshal
W. R. Joyner, to come to Columbus
on a tour of inspection.

SNUB GOV. BLEASE
Georgia Executive Ready to Honor
South Carolina Requisitions
in Meritorious Cases.
Declaring that he would honor
requisition papers signed by Gov
ernor Cole Blease, of South Carolina,
regardless of any refusal of the lat
ter to honor similar papers from
Georgia. Governor John M. Slaton
Tuesday morning defined his posltljn
in regard to the rumored strained re
lations between the two State execu
tives.
‘T want to say that I will not hesi
tate for one moment to grant requisi
tion papers from Governor Blease if
the case warrants it,” said Governor
Slaton. “I Intend to treat the State
of South Carolina Just as I would any
other State.
“It would be a very bad condition
of affairs, indeed, for any one Stats,
especially a neighboring State, to 03
an asylum for the criminals of the
other State, and vice versa, by com
mon consent of the two Governors.”
Governor Slaton’s remarks were
the result of rumored statements at
tributed to Governor Blease to the
effect that he would not honor requi
sition papers from the Governor of
Georgia because of Governor Slaton's
recent action in refusing to grant the
extradition of Attorney Zachry, of
Augusta.
