That Atlanta women intend to take
full advantage of their privilege to.
Vote was evinced by the enthusiasm
displayed at the two women’'s mass
meetings held Friday afternoon. Reg
istered women ‘voters of the Ninth
Ward met at the Greenwood Ave
nue School house, while the women
of the Third Ward held their meet
ing at the Grant Park Pavilion.
Both meetings were well attended
and were featured by the insistence
of the new voters in severul instances
in knowing just how the various can
didates stood, questions being asked
them by the audience,
Candidates for council, Claude
Barnwell and Robert H. Jones Jr.
and a candidate for alderman,James E.
Belcher, addressed the meeting at the
Greenwood Avenue School audito
rium. Mr. Belcher's opponent, C. L.
C"hosewood, was unable to be present,
and Mr. Beleher had the floor to him
self. He stated that his hobby was
parks. On being asked how he stood
for the schools, he said: “I stand
ready to vote for bonds for both a
boys’ and a girls’' high school.”
Mrs. J. C. Gentry, who acted as
master of ceremonies, introduced the
speakers and announced at the be
ginning that 1.0 candidates would be
endorsed and no issues discussed. It
was with difficulty, however, that the
non-partisan character of the meet
ing was maintained, and it was plain
ly to be seen that the women are
thorughly aroused over the issues of
the primary and are decided in their
stand.
Both Mr. Barnwell and Mr. Jones
gave their platforms and each ex
plained why he was best fitted for the
nomination, It was originally intend
ed that the meeting be non-partisan,
and for the purpose of better inform
ing the new voters, but it developed
into a mud-slinging affair.
The Grant Park meeting was pre
sided over by Mrs. C. F. Ozburn, and
several candidates for places in the
city government addressed the audi
ence,
F. E. Hoffman, candidate for
councilman, spoke first. He told of
his loyalty to the Third Ward, where
he had lived for twenty-two years,
and declared himself in favor of high
schools for both the North and South
Sides.
Another candidate for the council
(Gveorge Cooper, told of his interest in
the Third Ward, as well as the eity's
affairs, and promised the women if
they would support him he would
give them 100 per cent service,
James E. Belcher, candidate for
alderman, also adressed the meeting.

Several road improvements in con

veéar will probably have io be aban
doned, in view of the strict policy of
economy county commissioners have
planned for the new year, it was
made known Saturday.
It was expected that the matter
wouid be discussed by the county
public works committee, at its regular
session Saturday afternoon, but it
was not regarded as likely that defi
nite action woul® be taken toward the
elimination of any of these projects.
This will be left to the new publie
works commitiee, which will be
named at the reorganization meeting
of the county commission the first
of January.
It was regarded as certain, how
ever, that the commissioners will ar
rive at a gemeral understanding as to
tha proposed improvement projects
that will have to be lopped off of
the contemplated program,
Commissioners made it plain that
it is absolutely necessary fir the
county to-adopt a policy of economy,
probubly for the next two or three
vears, because of its present strained
financial condition, brought about
through the abnormally heavy appro

DUBLIN, Aug, 30.—Citizens of Cad
well, several miles from Dublin, have
offered a reward of SSOO for appre
hension of the parties guilty of burn
ing several negro churches and l(\dge-'
buildings and Kkilling Eli Cooper, a
negro, near that town, this week.
Some of the best citizens of the
county live at Cadwell and make ulv|
the majority of its population. 'l‘hv.vl
signed the agreement offering the re- |
ward, and state that nothing is left |
undone to find the guilty parties, |
According to their side of the case,
the trouble originated with a set of!
men in Cadwell who have been \lrink-i
ing too much moonshine recently.!
Since the burning of the negro
Phurches Tuesday night the-citizens
have investigated every rumor of ri- |
flex being found in negro lodges ;mdl
found them absolutely unfounded. |
They state positively that Eli (‘oopcrl
did not make the statemént that thel
negroes were getting ready to rise up
against the white people. They claim |
proof that the only remark hemade
was that the farmers must fight for
their rights if they get any. All other
stories of this character are branded
by them as absolutely false, '
Word went around Thursday that'
the same crowd was preparing fur?
another raid that night The good |
citizens of the town took the suys-!
pected members of the gang off onel
at a time and informed them just |
what would hagppen to the man who
made any further trouble, and let
every one know that the white citi
zens as a whole were going to pro
tect the law-abiding negroes. There
was no raid and no more are ex
pected. The negroes around Cadwels
are known as some of the most law
abiding in the county, and have never
given any cause for such outrages as
perpetrated thigs week.
