THEATRICAL SEASON
HAS BEGUN IN ATLANTA;
THREE HOUSES ARE OPEN
TO LYNCH NEGRO
FOR KILLING MAN
B.r rrlvnte Leased Wire.
Roanoke, Va„ Sept. 1,—The body of
Mike Custy, who was killed In Bedford
City by a negro named Paul Prevon,
was brought here for burial. There
Is a growing sentiment against the
murderer which will doubtless result
In a lynching It he la caught,
i ''Hurricane" Branch and his blood
hounds are on the trail, but heavy rains
make It difficult to follow the negro.
Large posses are scouring the moun
tains in every direction In search of
him.
ARE USING BOATS

Petersburg, Va., Sept. 1.—The freshet
In the Appomattox river has done In
calculable damage and the water fell
but little today. The freight depot,
yard of the Norfolk and Western Hall
way, is flooded and the water Is up to
the passenger platform of the union de.

are still with the company.
and seats for succeeding performances
may then be secured.
The opening bill of the post season
offers an attractive appearance. The
Three Coates, who ore finishing their
vaudeville career, prior to Joining
new musical comedy production, will
be a special feature. Their act offers
something out of the ordinary and has
been very successful. The well-known
Wells, Dunne and Harlan pair, Johnny
Johnson and Bob Harty will play their
second engagement at the Casino this
season, offering an entirely new series
of songs. The singing comedians
scored a popular hit some weeks ago
at the Casino.
Mildred Flora, the comedienne who
has appeared at the Grand and Casino
before, will contribute one otj the com
edy features of the bill. The Banks-
Breazeale Duo, pretty, girls, will appear
In a musical specialty. These young
women arc recruits In vaudeville. There
will be other acts, Including the Cam-
eragraph, with a new series of motion
pictures.
With Plays and Players.
Jesse Lynch Williams' play. • "The
Stolen Story," which was given Its first
production In Chicago this week, scored
a success and according to the critics
Is destined to continue for a long run
In the larger cities. Perhaps the critics
were lenient because Williams Is a real
newspaper man and writes a real news
paper story. The play presents the re
porter as he Is, not as" playwrights
have pictured him, and If 'The Stolen
Story” on the stage Is as good as the
collection of sketches from which It
was built Into a play It Is well wotl.i
going to see, especially as Dorothy
Tennant, who made such a lovable
"College Widow,” Is In a leading part.
MAYOR M’CLELLAN TO FIGHT
FOR JEROME FOR GOVERNOR
By Private Leased Wire.
Parts, Sept. 1.—After eleven weeks' vacation In Europe, Mayor George
B. McClellan, of New York, sailed today on the steamship St. Paul, pre
pared to support and fight for Jerome as a candidate for next governor
of the state If the Democratic convention nominates him.
COTTON RECEIPTS LIGHT
ON QUITMAN MARKET
R l>o'lnl to The Georglnn.
Quitman, Ga, Sept. 1.—The cotton
receipts at the local warehouses are
away behind last year, and unless the
rains cease soon the planters will be
unable to gather the crop. Up to Sept.
1 last year there had been 2,800 bales
marketed here, while the same date
this year there have been only 72G bales
P™k*bt In, showing a decrease of over
J/ioo bales. The best posted cotton
men and planters say that there will
Jot be over a two-thirds crop pro-
euced In Brooks county this year.

I RIGHT LEG AT *25,000
Private Leased Wire.
By DUDLEY GLASS.
The Bijou, home of popular-priced
comedy, music and melodrama, will
throw open Its doors for the new sea
son next Monday afternoon, and there
will be no dark nights until warm
weather comes In 1907. Haverly's Min
strels Is the bill chosen for the opening
week, an attraction light enough for hot
weather theatergoers.
But the managers of the Bijou say
that they can defy the weather god.
An eleytrle fan, operated by a big
motor, blows a current over a ton of
Ice and keeps the temperature down to
comfortable point, while numerous
smaller fans are scattered through the
house. The big fan has been shut
down frequently because It lowered the
temperature to an uncomfortable de
gree.
The fifth season of the Bijou will
continue under the former manage
ment. Jake Wells, director of the
Bijou circuit of Southern theaters, Is
at the head of affairs, while H. L.
DeGIve and Hugh L. Cardoza are the
resident managers. A new face will
be seen In the box office, Treasurer
Joe Adams having been transferred
from the Richmond Bijou to the At
lanta house. Harry Downey, one of the
most popular ticket sellers who ever
handed out the pasteboards In Atlan
ta, will be his assistant. The old force
of ushers,' doorkeepers and stage hands
will greet their friends again, and the
same orchestra has been engaged.
The Bijou will present a holiday ap
pearance at the opening performance.
Painters and carpenters hnve been
busy retouching and repairing and the
auditorium will be more attractive than
In seasons past. The usual Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday matinees .will
continue throughout the season, with
performances every night In the week.
Tim Murphy Coming.
Tim Murphy, always an early bird
on the Southern circuit, will smile once
more from the stage of the Grand. He
Is booked for next Friday and Satur
day night and a Saturday matinee In
"Old Innocence,” a comedy In which
he appeared several seasons ago, and
one well fitted to his talents.
Of course, Dorothy Sherrod will be
the leading woman. It would hardly
be like the old Tim Murphy without
her. The two have roles In which their
individual talents are well displayed,
that of Old Innocence being especially
ndnpted to Mr. Murphy's eccentric
manner. The comedy was greeted with
success on Its first season, and Mr.
Murphy has decided to return to It
after a season In parts differing rad
ically from those In which he had met
the warmest welcome. His company
Includes, besides Miss Sherrod, who has
the leading woman’s role. Miss Louise
Whitfield. Mrs. Aubrey Powell and O.
J. Griffin.

"The County Fair. 1
Some of you will remember that
about fifteen years ago you saw
horse race on the stage, and that you
talked about It for weeks afterwards.
There were throe horses, you remem
ber, but Cold Molasses was the best,
and won by a neck after a mile race
across the stage, which seemed as
natural as the real thing, even though
the thoroughbreds never got past the
proscenium arch. You may see the
same race again If you will visit the
Grand Saturdny afternoon or night.*
"The County Fair" Is back again.
with old Nell Burgess, the author and
creator of the play, at Its head. If he
Is as funny os he used to be—but they
say he Is, and there Is no reason why
he shouldn’t be, for ho Is of the kind
that years only mellow and sweeten.
An4 "The County Fair" Is Just that
kind of play—one of those old farm
and mother dramas that make you
smile and then laugh until you find
yourself winking hard to keep the tears
from Intruding themselves where they
are not wanted—Just the country pic
ture that made "The Old Homestead”
a regular feature of every theater and
coined dollars for the authors of Blue
Jeans and Shore Acres—the play'that
brings back your own childhood, when
you broke the sorrel colt and held off
the calves while mother milked. It Is
one of those simple stories that leaves
you with a sweet taste In your mouth
that no problem play ever gave.
Mr. Burgess will play his old role
of Aunt Abtjy and the famous race
scene will be given with the Improved
apparatus thft came with the revival
of the old favorite.
Post Season at Casino.
General Manager Jake Wells has di
rected that the Casino at Ponce De
Leon he continued until further orders.
This order means that the popular
summer play house wilt continue oper
ations with vaudeville for attractions
for some time, and that for the first
time in the history of the Bijou and
Casino both play houses under the
same management will be run ln prac
tical opposition to each other.
The arrangement for the sale of
seats will be changed. Seats can not
be secured In the city, but may be en
gaged by 'phone, by using Bell 'phone
288 north, and such orders will be
filled and held until 8:15 o’clock each
night. The box office at the park the
ater will he kept open from 7:45
o'clock until 9:30 o'clock each night.
An August sun does not seem to pre
vent New York theaters from drawing
audiences, and the production of new
plays Is beginning as though furs and
overcoats were In order Instead of
straw hats and palm leaf fans. Thirty
nine play houses, Including the more
Important roof gardens, were going this
week and a number of the better
known players have taken up work for
the season.
William Crons has begun his season
In 'The Price of Money," a comedy by
Alfred Sutro, which has Just opened at
the Oarrlck In New York. Margaret
Dale and Walter Hitchcock are with
the company.
'Hapy" Ward, of the old Ward and
Yokes combination, has hit upon a hap
py title In "Not Yet But Soon,” which
ic calls a "komedy kackle ln two lays."
Lucy Daly Is with him as of yore.
They "tried It on the dog' at Lynn,
Miss., Wednesday night and the peo-
pie of Lynn say the new musical com
edy Is simply fine.
Many a bright bit In a play has been
stolen to make a successful vaudevllls
skit, but It Is seldom that a vaudeville
sketch pure and simple grows Into a
full grown comedy. But ons Instance
of this Is "The Ham Tree." In which
McIntyre and Heath appeared last sea
son, and another Is 'The Chorus Lady,"
In which Rose Stahl opens at the Savoy
n New York Saturday. 'The Chorua
Lady" waa one of the brightest bits
on the vaudeville stage last season, and
when Miss Stahl took It to London the
I-ondoners thought her slang waa quite
the cleverest thing that had come from
America.' It has grown Into a full
fledged musical comsdy now and Rose
Stahl Is a star in big letters.
John Drew will begin his season at
the Empire In New York In a new
comedy, "His House In Order." Dion
Bouclcault Is directing the rehearsals
and the cast Includes Margaret Illlng-
ton and a company equally as good as
those with which Mr. Frohman has
supplied his favorite star In the pest. -
Eleanor Robson, whose "Merely
Mary Ann” was the sweetest stage
portrait seen In the South last season,
tas been spending the summer In
France with her mother, Mrs. Madge
Clark Cook, who created "Mrs. Wlggs
of the Cabbage Patch.” Miss Robson
will begin rehearsals of a new Zang-
wlll play. "Nurae Marjorie," as soon
as she arrives In America.

ARCH PLOTTER SHOT DEAD

Instantly killed by Garl I.ugl. with

THINKS STUYVESANT FISH
IS STRONG IN THE SOUTH
By Private Leased wire.
Washington, Sept. 1—Edward Young,
of New Orleans, who has Just been
nominated by the Republicans of that
city to contest the congressional elec
tion In the First district, with Adolph
Mayer, at the Raleigh, expressed the
opinion that President Roosevelt was
the only Republican who could enter
the campaign of 1908 with any cer
tainty of defeating Bryan.
If the convention will not see the
wisdom of this policy, then he believes
the sentiment of the Republicans of
the South would favor the selection of
some good, conservative business man.
"If there Is one business man In this
country, who stands close to the Bouth
by reason of the good he has done for
them," said Mr. Young, "that man Is
Stujrvesant Fish, president of the Il
linois Central Railroad, and If he were
nominated, thousands of Democrats In
the South would vole the Republican
ticket. It Is my Judgment that Mr.
Fish could carry one or two of the
Southern states and break the Demo
cratic solid vote In that soetton of the
country.” ,
NEGRO QUESTION
WILL BE AN ISSUE
Specie! to The Georgian.
Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 1.—Forgetting
the bitterness and the pangs of defeat,
forgiving' those who defeated him for
re-election to the office of United States
senator, Hon. Edward Ward Carmack
has thrown personal feelings aside and
has rushed to the breach to give battle
In behalf of the Democratic party In
Tennessee. The Tennessee senator has
been the first to volunteer his services
as a speaker to the Democratic state
executive committee, anil It Is needless
to say that the offer will be accepted
post haste.
In the recent bitter campaign for
governor and In the one for ITnlted
States senator two combinations lined
up agnlnst each other, the forces of
Governor Cox and Senator Carmack
being pitted against a combination
cohiposed of General M. R. Patterson
and Governor Bob Taylor. The two
latter won. Cox has never forgiven
Patterson for the hard things the lat
ter said about him on the stump and
refuses to get ln the band wagon.
The negro question Is most acute In
the South at present and It Is expected
to play a most Important part In the
gubernatorial fight between General M.
IL Patterson,' the Democratic nominee,
and General II. Clay Evans, the Re
publican nominee.

In speaking of the appointment by Prim-
