A 0 LODGES BURNED
BLAKELY, GA., Jan. I.—One ne
&ro lodge and a church used as lodge
‘Were burned last night by various
nsses scouring the lower section of
Zarly County in search of the Gools
% negroes who killed~Henry J. Vil-
Upigue. Kvery negro lodge and sev
:nil churches in the county are now
estroved, Copsiderable feeling 1s
Qroused against lodges, for in records
of one lodge burned it is reported
ghat memoranda was found on Simon
Gouisby showing that lodge mem
bers had determined upon the death
of Villipigue at the hands of th
Goolsbys because they were oflendeg
by Villipigue's chastisement of
Gooishy's son,
lodge records further disclosed
gerlgnulod members of lodgeg here,
ort Gaines, Ga,; hnd Montgomery,
:‘l;c.. who would assist the Goolsbys
making their escape. For obvious
Teasons these names have not been
made public.
Charley Holmes, a negro, whose
house was burned Thursday when
Anderson Goolsby was discovered
and killed in resisting arrest, is re
ported to be crazy. Various reports
of a negro uprising in the county
have all been personally investigated
and properly quelled, if such. inten
tion existed.
The Goolsby boys have no doubt
ekcaped. Some twenty cars of men
left last night for Greenwood, Fla.,
Where it is reported these two boys
were seen near the river at Still.
Reports from there this morning is
that they are on the trail of two
negroes who answer to the proper
description.

“I was here for the holidays with
my sister,” she said, “and expected to
return home on Wednesday. 1 re
celved a wire from Henry telling me
to come on Tuesday, and that he
would meet me at Albany. I arrived
at Albany about 6 p. m. Wednesday,
and we started home in a horse and
buggy. We arrived at Blakely about
10 o’clock. As we were driving home,
Henry told me that, as he was on his
way to Albany to meet me, he had a
little trouble with a negro named
Goolsby, and when 1 questioned him
he said that he was in the buggy with
Lain Coachman and the son of
Preacher Dumas when they met a ne
gro In a buggy.
“Mr. Villipigue said he turned out
as far as possible, but that the negro
ran into him. While the other two
men held the boy Henry said that he
whipped him with a buggy whip.
“As we neared home,” Mrs, Villi
pigue continued, “we saw a negro.
Heney told me that he was the one he
had whipped. When the boy saw us
he ran into the house.
“We reached home about noon and
both of us went to sleep, as we had
been up all the night before. Henry
soon awoke, and went out of the
house, and the next thing 1 heard was
the pistol reports and Henry caliing
for his shotgun. 1 went to the door
and saw three negroes shooting at my
husband, who had already been shot
through the hand.
"l opened the door, and when the
negroes saw me they fired at me. The
shot, however, missed me and hit
Henry over the heart, and he fell to
the floor. 1 went to the window and
saw the three negfoes leaving. They
went about 100 yards and then re
turned.
“l went to Henry and saw that he
was shot in several places. Then I
slipped out of the back door, and, run
ning in ditches, went a quarter of a
mile for Nelp. When I returned Henry
was dead. I found that he was shot
in the hand, in the side, in the head
and over the heart. Help soon came,
and we carried him to Mrs. Nettie
Coachman's, at Blakely"

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
Atlanta Starts New Year After
Night of High Revel and
Frequent Wassail,
That portion of Atlanta which had
conceived it its duty to provide the
Old Year with suitable obsequies and‘
the New Year with a rlotous wel
come awoke Saturday with a dry and
fuzzy tongue ranging in taste from
burnt umber to dark purple, depend
ing upon the extent of the celebra
tion. It awoke filled with lquid sky
rockets, lobster salad and noble reso
lutions arid went down to a break
fast consisting of three glasses of ice
water and a glance at an egg.
For Atlanta welcomed the New
Year in what it thought was true
New York style, and though the ho
tels were not permitted to sell cham
bagne and Scotch, there was nothing
Lo prevent a party sending down its
own liquids to be put in the ice box.
And very many did.
The streets were filled with young
folks about the hour that Father
Time changed cars. Most of them
had been to the theaters or the mov
les and instead of hurrying home,
they strolled up and down, despite
the suspicion of rain, and made merry
in various ways. Cannon crackers
provided most of the noise.
In the hotels the diners and danc
ers held high wassail. The Piedmont
dining” rooms were packed, and ut‘
midnight the figures “1915" in electrio
lights, faded away to the trains of a
funeral march and “1916" flashed on
to “The Star-Spangled Banner,” with |
everyone standing and singing —or |
trying to. At the Ansley the dining |
Tooms and lobby were full of danc
ers and high revels were held. The
Georgian Terrace, out of the path of
the strollers, nevertheless had a cflo-!
bration of its own, a dinner and |
dance, and at the Winecoff there was
feasting and fox trotting. The old
Kimball had its share of wine, wo
men and a falr imitation of SOng as
the old year passed |
The clubs had thelr usual New
Year's Eve revels, also. The usual
ball was given at the Capital Cilty
Club, at East Lake there was a din
