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 several instances
in knowing just how the various can
didates stood, questions being asked
them by the audience.
Candidates for ecounecil, 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.
(Chosewood, was unable to be present,
and Mr. Belcher 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 theirl
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 2 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,
George Cooper, told of his interest in
the Third Ward, as well as the city's
affairs, and promised the women if
«hey would support him he would
give them 100 per cent service.
James E. Belcher, candidate for
alderman, also adressed the meeting.

(By Universal Service.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—“1 hope
the newspapers of the United States

inent Forsyth men, were instantly
killed, Walter Jackson, another occu
pant, was seriously hurt and Tribble
suffered severe injuries.

train approaching, and his machine
hit the side of the locomotive.

Out at the Fort McPherson gen

those things.
There is a regular industry go

Red Cross has charge of a lot of it—
especially the vocational recreation,
which enables the boys to learn
something useful and have a good
time of it, too.

Several road improvements in con
templation by the county for next
yvear will probably have to be ahan-’
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
wouild be discussed by the county
public works committee, 1t its reg'llar‘
session Saturday afternoon, but it
was not regarded as likely that defi
nite action would be taken toward the
elimination of any of these projects.
This will be left to the new public|
works committee, which will bel
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 general 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 for !hv!
county to adopt a policy of economy, |
probably for the ne two or three
vears, because of its xfiesem ntminod‘
financial condition, brought about]
through the “bnormally heavy anpm-i
priations made this year to carry on
the work of the city. i
It generally was conceded that the;
road building program for next year|
will have to be slashed with a h(-uvyl

State Not Helping in i
Beef Industry, Charge,
MACON, Aug. 30.—Charges are |
made by Alee Block, president of the'
Macon Packing Company, that State |
officials in charge of the various in- |
stitutions are not co-operating with
Georgia stockmen in creating a de- |
mand for Georgia beef. He cited in!
proof of his contention a recent re
quest for bids of the State .*'unuturh!
um, issued by the steward, L. J. La- |
mar, in which Mr. Lamar «pwlfh-u!
that bids upon “good merchantable |
beef of prime Western steers” only |
will be accepted. I
“This is a direct slap in the face to |
the producers of Georgia beef” de- |
clares Mr. Block. “The prison com- |
mission is the same way. Captain
Burke, steward of the prison, adver- |
tises only for prime Waestern beef,
Under present conditions there is no |
inducement to the fleorgia stockman
to sell his beef or raise it."” f

remarkable. Take the beadwork,
now so popular. You will find
nothing in the shops surpassing
that of some of the boys at Mc-
Pherson. And their work will not
be offered for sale in any shops, or
peddled, or anything like that. You
can buy it—but you'll have to go
right out to McPherson to buy it.
And then you can see the boys at
work, and that's worth seeing. And
you can talk to them—and they're
mighty worth talking to.
“Happy” Woolford is the cham
pion beadmaker of the wounded sol
diers at Fort McFherson.
Since making bead necklaces has
become the fad at the post there
has sprung up a pleasant rivalry in
designs and their execution, and an
actual glimpse at their work re
veals wonderful combinations of
colors worked into effects most al
luring that Atlanta’'s feminine fad
hunters might well afford to view.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—Numer
ous inquiries have come within the
last few days to Senator Hoke Smith
asking whether cotton could be
shipped to Germany and Central
Europe.
Senator Smtih says he has been as
sured by the War Trade Board no
restriction of any kind is now placed
upon the shipment of cotton to Ger

desiring to ship it can do so without
interference, as a general order has
been issued authorizing such ship

In the same connection Senator

SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1919,
DUBLIN, Aug. 30.—Citizens of Cad- !
well, several miles from Dublin, have
offered a reward of SSOO for apprn-i
hension of the parties guilty of burn- |
ing several negro churches and lodge
buildings and killing EN Cooper, a
negro, near that town, this week. |
Some of the best citizens of the"
county live at Cadwell and make upl
the majority of its population. They |
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 griginated with a set of!
men in Cadwell who have been drink- |
ing too much moonshine recomly.‘
Since the burning of the negrol
churches Tuesday night the (-mzans]
have Investigated every rumor of ri-!
fles being found in negro lodges and;
found them absolutely unfounded.
They state positively that Eli (‘oopar{
did not make the statement that the |
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 !or'
their rights if they get any. All other
stories of this eharacter are branded
by them as absolutely false.
Word went around Thursday that
the same crowd was preparing f«)ri
another raid that night. The good!
citizens of the town took the sus-'
pected members of the gang off one |
at a time and informed them just |
what would happen to the man whn‘
made any further trouble, and let
every one know that the white citi
zens as a whole were going to pro
‘tm't the law-abiding negroes. There
was no raid and no more are ex
pected. The negroes around Cadwel
are known as some of the most law
abiding in the county, and have never
given any cause for such outrages as
| perpetrated this week,

Several months ago Judge Lind
sey was fined SSOO, for contempt

Lindsey SSOO. So far the judge
has refused to pay this fine and
insgists he will go to jail before he
does,
Members of the Boys' Brother

Judge Lindsey:
“The Boys' Brotherhood Republie,
representing the boys of Chicago,
will raise 50.000 pennies to pay your
