Special to The Georgian.
Home, Ga., August 17.—A big Demo

given at Mobley Park today. Fully
3,000 people are in attendance.
The principal speakers of the day
are John W. Maddox and Clark Howell.

Special to The Georgian.
Savannah, Ga„ Aug. .17.—Prepara
tions are'being made for the Hoke

? ected that Mr. Smith will arrive about
o’clock, accompanied by a delegation'
of supporters from Bulloch county, and
by the Meinhnrd Sabre Club. •
Dinner will be-served pt the DeSoto.
In the evening he will make an ad

There will be plenty of good things

terday ' evening.
About 800 citizens composed the mob
and there was no riotous outbursts, but
the men listened quietly to the speech
«Governor Heyward, who had hasten
ed to the scene of trouble from Colum
bia, and then proceeded to carry out
their purpose.
Platform Erected.
Governor Heyward reached the scene
shortly after the negro had been cap
tured. A platform was erected In a
fence corner on ‘the premises of the
victim’s father from which Governor
Heyward addressed the mob In an ef
fort to prevent the lynching.
The mob then removed the prisoner
to a place within a short distance of
the home of the victim, where the ne
gro was riddled with bullets. It is im
possible to estimate the crowd, ns citi
zens from several counties had gath
ered at the scene and for two days had
been In pursuit of the fiend, but It Is
certain that hundreds of bullets w'ere
sent through his body.
Militia Away.
Tho militia in that section of the
state Is now encamped at Chlckamau-
ga and there were no nearby troops to
i>e called upon. The governor's guards
an.l the Richlarfa Volunteers of this
city had been ordered to hold them
selves In readiness In the event that
their services were needed, but the mob
was determined and It is doubtful if
the presence of soldiers could have pre
vented the lynching.*
Girl Identifies Assailant.
The negro was captured in a creek,
tied hand and foot, and brought to the
home of his victim for Identification.
A great crowd had gathered at the
Brooks home.
"Let’B wash his fac*, boys, before we
take him to the houafe,” said some one,
but the crowd W'as too Impatient.. Four
men were delegated' to escort him to
the house.' The young lady, lylnjf on
her bed, with a dfeep gash In her throat,
turned, her eyes toward the negro as he
stood there between his captors.
“That’s the scoundrel,” she said. I
know him by his eyes.”
The Governor 8peake.
“Hear the governor,” said some one,
and he began:
"1 know," he said, "that nothing
could take place that could

HEARTY RECEPTION
GIVEN JUDGE RUS8ELL
Special to The Georgian.
Athens, Ga., Aug. 17.—Judge Russell
was given a hearty reception here last
night. His address was somewhat dif
ferent from the one he delivered here
some time ago, as he did not go Into
the details of his platform as In his
former address.
He said there lias been an effort on
the part of the opposition to have the
voters of this -section believe he and
James Smith have a friendly under
standing as to their candidates In this
section. In reply to this Judge Russell
refuted the charge In strong but par
liamentary language.
He said he was present to resent
such a charge from any man. He said
James Smith had devoted most of his
campaign In his (Judge Russell's) Ju
dicial circuit.
Youn/c R. B. Russel 1, Jr., was on the
stage and Judge Russell made refer
ence to his boy’s interest in his cam
paign.

The meeting closed with a Joint de
bate late Thursday afternoon, the Es-
till Club having asked for a division of
time. Hon. J. H. Morgan, of Savan
nah, was the speaker selected by the
Estlll Club to take care of Colonel Es-
tlll’s Interest. The debate was held
iln the court house Instead of at Fort
Hughes, the change of program being
made on account of the rain that be
gan falMng about the hour of the
speaking. The crowd was estimated all
the way from 1,000 to 2,500. The at
tendance was smaller than expected on
account of the rain.

FORMER VICEROY OF INDIA
TO VISIT UNITED STATES
By Private Leased Wire.
New York. August 17.—Lord Curzo’n
Is coming to America, hls visit being
rendered necessary by questions which
have arisen In connection with the dis
position of the property of the Lady
C'urzon In this country. During hls ab
sence hls little girls will stay with
their aunt, Lady Suffolk, formerly Miss
Daisy Letter, at the place which their
grandmother. Mrs. Letter, has rented
for the autumn in Scotland.
Lord Curzon's relatives are exceed
ingly anxious that he should travel In
order to obtain a change of scene, as
hls health, at no time strong, and Im
paired by hls long residence and ardu
ous labors In India, has, of course,
been still further weakened by the
shock sustained through the death of
hls wife.
It Is understood that after complet
Ing the business which brings him to
America, and visiting Washington anti
Chicago, he will make a long stay In
Canada, where he desires to become
better acquainted.

Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 17.—The
committee on resolutions of the Grand
Army of the Republic, has decided to
make report on the resolutions which
have been the cause of so much com
ment during the G. A. R. week.
A resolution censuring the Daughters

turned down by a practically unan
imous vote. But one member voted for
The report, which will be presented
by Chairman A. G. Welsert, of the
committee, will be silent on the Wlrz
resolution and the canteen resolution.
It Is probable that an objection will
be made to the committee report when
It is presented nnd an effort made to
amend It so that It will recommend
one or both of the resolutions for pass
age.
In case this falls, the Wlrz resolu
tion Is likely to be presented ngaln In
the encampment and In that case seri
ous trouble Is expected.

CHIEF HOTEL CLERK
Young Man Arrested and

Trial. '
Hpwlal to Tho Georgian.
Chattanooga, Tenn., August 17.—Eu
gene Jordan, chief cterk at Lookout
Inn, formerly of Memphis, and brothor
of manager of the Houck Music Com
pany, thi* city, has been arrested on
a charge of being connected with the
big Jewelry and money steals from
gueste of the hotel. Jordan le now In
Jail, but refuse* to talk.
It I* charged that he Is connected
ivlth the theft of several thousand dol
lar* In Jewelry and money from Mrs.
Simmon*, of California; Mrs. Carmi
chael, of Florida, and from the safe of
the Inn. He says hls brother loaned
him 1500, but this was dented by the
brother.
It Doesn’t Make Americans Blush, But Those
That Comprehendovitch Hide Their -
Heads Under Pillowskis.
On the' charge of being noisy, dis
orderly and cruel, It being said that on
one occasion the father of the family
angrily tossed tho year-and-a-half-old
babe on the tloor, causing hls doc
tors, surgeons and dentists to be called,
M. Killen and hls wife, two Russian
Jews, were nrralgned In police court
Friday morning. At witnesses In the
case uppeared some half dozen neigh
bors, among them Patrblman Green.
The couple reside at 34 Bell street
and, according to the testimony of
those In court, there Is a continual row
going on In their house, keeping their
neighbors from resting. It was said
that Mrs. Killen Is very htgh-tempered
and also very profane. Her profanity
was said to pour forth In the Russian
language and, although Americans may
listen to It without so much as a blush,
those of their nationality In the vicinity
are forced to take refuge under a pll
low.
During the trial some mention was
made of making the couple and their
three children move from the place,
but Mrs. Killen rushed up to the acting
recorder and with a voice choked and
eyes ready for an overflow, she said:
“If you make us move I will die.”
Then she broke down and was es
corted from the court room weeping
bitterly. Owing to their poverty the
recorder Imposed $1.75 fine.
They deny that they disturb their
neighbors.*

"Wearenot dependent on the street
meeting,” said Mr. Harwell. ”We only
do It to save souls, not for the money
that Is In It. We nev^r allow the
children to beg or pass around the hat.
Everything that Is given Is given free.”
Six of the children are from Griffin,
three from Gainesville, two from Ce-
dartown and the rest from Atlanta.
Warning to tha Mayor.
When Mrs. Harwell was seen she flrat
declared her Intention of carrying on
the street meetings.
"We will aee whether the Lord or
the devil Is stronger,” she said, “but If
It Is the*’wish of the Lord that these
meetings be stopped, I would say
’amen.*
“In this talk about our home pub
lished In the papers you can aee clearly
the devil’s cloven foot. The mayor
better be careful. There was a mayor
of a certain city In the West, I forgot
the name now, that did just what he Is
doing. He tried to stop good work like
ours and the I.ord struck him dead. I
have no malice against the mayor and
I have Instructed the children and we
are all praying for him, so that hls sin
will be, If Jt Is the Lord’s wish, visited
back upon him.”
The situation Is full of pathos. Per
haps the most pathetic feature is the
boast of Mr. and Mrs. Harwell that
the little children under their care are
filled with religion. The children'testi
fy on the streets and tell the lookers-
on to follow their example. The chil
dren’s ages vary from 3 to 12 years.
This feature of the situation Is clear
ly brought out in the report of Proba
tion Officer Gloer, w ho Investigated the
home for Mayor Woodward some time
after It had been visited by Mr. Evans
and Logan.
Officer Gloer’* Report.
Officer Gloer’s report follows:
ATLANTA, GA., August 14, 1906.
Hon. Janies G. Woodward, Mayor:
Dear Sir:—Dr. Henry G. Carnes and
myself made some Investigations of the
Memorial Orphans' Home, No. 62 Mc
Daniel street, on yesterday.
We find they have 25 children In
this home from 3 1-2 years to 14 years
old. Seven or eight of these children
are motherless and fatherless. Three
men have their children In this home.
The other children have only mothers
who cannot support themselves and
children too.
These children are taught In litera
ture and In the Bible, and to sing, etc.,
are also taught to work, laundry work.
Everything In and around the building
aeems perfectly clean and nloe.
The home Is run by Mr. and Mrs.
Harwell, who say God has called them
to run such an Institution. And that
they expect to continue same as long
os they live.
Say furthermore that they do not
carry the children on the streets to
get money, but to save souls.
They claim that these little children
have religion, and that they testify on
the streets and beg people to be saved.
They further say they do not and can
not teach the children to testify; that
they do this as the Lord directs. Say
the children are taught the Bible every
day, but are not taught to testify; that
th^y get that part from the Ijord.
When told of the various complaints
made of the children on- the streets at
night, they said they had been expect
ing for some time that the devil would
Jump on them for this work. That the
people who were making these com
plaints were only angels of the devil.
And that they will continue to *carry
them on the streets, though they get
locked up and put In Jail; that they will
continue to hold these meetings.
When asked If they had to go on
the streets to get money to run tne In
stitution, they said no. Said they
found enough money to run the home
without this; but if the people wanted
to give them money on the streets that
they would accept It and thank them,
too. *
Said further that the authorities
could do with them aa they pleased;
