There Is Still Time to Help 250 Poor Children Get an Education
Atlanta's schools opened yesterday, but there still are many 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 $59. 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 Charities or to The Georgian.
Detectives Find No Trace of the
Famous Politician, Who Disap
peared One Week Ago.
NEW YORK. Sept, ft.—It became
known to-day that “Big Tim” Sulli
van, former powerful East Side po*l-
tlcian, who has been 111 for a year of
a mental defection, has been missing
for a week from tho home of his
brother in Kingsbridge, and that pri
vate detectives, who have bc^n
searching: for him, have about given
up hope of finding him alive.
Sullivan’s physical condition had
Improved of late, but his mind had
not. He was continually under the
delusion that he was being perse
cuted by his friends.
Last Tuesday morning Sullivan
managed to elude his three guards.
Although practically all of Mr
Sullivan’s friend* expressed the ut
most anxiety, among the few who
did not was William B. Ellison, coun
sel for the missing man.
“About ten days ago Mr. Sullivan
came to my office to consult me and
hla mind wa* clear in every detail,”
said Mr. Ellison. “In fact, he was
normal, I thought. He brought a
$2,000 check he had received from n
theatrical enterprise in which he is
interested and we talked for some
time over business matters. Mr
Sullivan also talked over the political
situation. I know that he had dis
appeared but I did not worry, for my
own opinion waM, and is, that he has
gone West or to Canada, where his
theatrical concern has large inter
ests/’
Mr. Ellison said that if it was true
that the missing man ha* suffered
from suicidal mania he. (Ellison)
never heard of it.

SNUB GOV, BLEASE
Georgia Executive Ready to Honor
South Carolina Requisitions .
in Meritorious Cases.
Declaring that he would honor
requisition pap^s 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 hi9 position
in regard to the rumored strained re
lations between the two State execu
tives.
“I 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 State,
especially a neighboring Stat|* to oe
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.

been punished to some extent.”
