9 THE ATLANTA I GEOKUJAN AND NEWS. Schmidt Has Vision Of His Being Freed Of Slaying Charge not be repeated, but we must defend our place of business.” Colonel Wright Willingham, one of the very liveat wires in all North Georgia, or any other part of Georgia, for that matter, has a most outspoken way with him now and then, and Jjat now his pet obsession is the Law En forcement League of Home. Mr. Willingham '* unde, Seaborn Wright, is the head and front of this league, and Mr. Willingham is the president of the local Chamber of Commerce. Hence they both cut con siderable Ice around and about Rome, and when they lock horns the fur— or something, whatever it is—likely will fly, Indeed, it may be said ••al ready to have Mown!” Mr. Willingham recently denounced the Law and Order Leaguers in the Hill City as a lot of ‘‘stink pots;” and he put that right that way in The Home Tribune-Herald, and he. let it go at that! He thinks the league busies itself with “dago” soda pop venders who operate on Sunday and lets all sorts of big and influential whales slip through with all sorts of Sabbath of- fendings! The Law Enforcement League has not yet expressed its syndicated ind amalgamated opinion of Mr. Willing ham. but those who keep tab i.n things in Rome opine that that opin ion, when it does come forth, Is g > ing to be something almost unpleas ant! GEORGIA POLITICS . £& JAMtS B.WYIN NEW YORK, Dec. IS. Declaring that he. has had n new vision from heaven, Hans Schmidt, accused of the murder of Anna Aumuller, told his lawyers to-day that If he is acquitted soon In his trial he would become a missionary. “As I lay on my cot in the Tombs I saw a wonderful vision,” he said. 'T siw myself take the stand In my own defense, tell a story that made me a free man and later go among the peoples of the earth as a missionary.” It. is possible the case will go to the jury late to-morrow. jfor infants and Children Three Men Bound Over Thursday Believed by Police To Be Last of Gang. Twenty Teams Begin Whirlwind One-Day Campaign of the Business District. ALCOHOL 3 PI AVfrgc (able Prepar.^ic;: TrrAs similar rheFoodandKrguia ling Hic SiomadB andiitoweisof As n result of the crusade against automobile thieves in Atlanta, six young white men have been sent to the county jail under heavy bond charged with thefts of cars. The latest additions to the colony in the Tower are C. O. Hagln, a chauffeur; Thomas Brown, of No. 110 1-2 Whitehall street, and C. R. Hart, of No. 500 Wist Hunter street, who were bound over under $1,500 bond each for tit.- theft of Joseph W. Hill’s machine Thursday. The police had nothing to do with their capture except to bring the men here. This last round-up, the police be lieve, has effectually suppressed the gang which has kept automobile own ers in fear for several weeks. In addition to these three, Frank Corn, of No. 237 Central avenue, is held under $1,000 bond for the theft of the car of Howard Pattillo, and Edgar Sentell, of East Point, and Glennie Bristol, of No. 324-A Deca tur street, are held under bonds of $1,000 each for the theft of a car be longing to Wiley West, of the Fire stone Tire and Rubber Company. In every instance the men are charged with larceny and operating an automobile without the consent of the owner. Hagan is also charged with burglary in connection with th* robbery of a store. He confessed tc. the theft of the Hill car. whatever that a goodly measure of it filtered through to Washington. Georgia evidently was not 'going to see Clements dropped without letting it be known, even in the Whitt House, that the proposition met with scant favor. Not that Georgians have anything in particular against Governor Glenn far be it fro such—-but that Jud- son c.

Of course, if he should, he, being himself an old news paper man, might look lor much sym pathy among the press contingent in Georgia. Be that as it may, however, the real secret of Bridges Smith’s un doubted popularity with the news papers generally is that he Is such a good fighter! He fights fair and square enough, and he fights hard—to win! If he loses, or even seems temporarily to lose, he doesn’t “holler.” That is a quality of statesmanship much admired in Georgia, especially among the newspaper men. Maybe it is because the good fighter makes for good “copy” on the desk, and maybe it is because all the world loves a good fighter, even as it loves a lover. Whatever may be the big cause behind the many causes of Bridges Smith’s popularity in the State, certainly his perfect willinsV ness to give and take is one thing COLUMBUS, Dee 18. At tho prelim inary 'hearing of J. \Y.

The first accounts were that Doc Mc- Christian shot Bonds and his little son. hut the confession of the Brewer boy exonerates McChristian, who fled Im mediately after the shooting and has not been apprehended.

Dec. 20.—Following his second trial and mistrial within three weeks for the murder of MarLm Lanzy, a negro, Edwin Wall is back in the county jail to-day awaiting the next term of the Superior Court, when he will probably face a jury for the last time on this charge, for a third mistrial would automatically »’e- lease him.

Wounded Merchant Dies; Slayer Shot Far Simile Sifln&nir* c NEW YORK. Editor Townsend, of the esteemed Dahlonega Nugget, has his troubles and vexations, the same as any other editor. In the current issue of his sprightly weekly he says: “On Saturday - ight a party took advantage of the darkness and rain and threw a brickbat against one cf our office doors where we sleep, after we had retired, breaking the lock, the bat passing on into the back room, where it struck the wall and fell to the floor. Why was this done? Simply because during our two years as Mayor of Dahlonega we have been endeavoring to hew to the line re gardless of where the chips flew, In accordance with the oath we took. Of course, we have no oositive evi dence against the fellow just now. and will give anyone $50 with suffi cient proof to convict, and in the meantime have arranged to mirk this party or any* one else, should I they try such a thim again, and maybe save any expense or trouble of an investigation.
