Tennyson:

Tack London beginning his remarkable description ofmankind

Thompson; “Help! Help! Help!” the old problem of domestic
service, by Roy L. McCardell; Hughes and Jerome contrasted, by

SOUTH ATLANTA NEGROES
DR A W UP RESOLUTIONS
CONCERNING THE RIOT
To the Citizen* of Atlanta:
We, the undersigned resident* of
South Atlanta, beg leave to state our
view of the recent deplorable killing
of the brave officer, J. L. Heard, and
, our position upon matters of vital con.
cern to the city and state.
First. We have no word of pallia
tion or excuse or Justification for the
killing of Olflcer Heard. We condemn
It and denounce-the men who,fired
upon that officer as violators of the
peace and as perpetrators of a crime
that must be punished’to the full ex
tent of the law.
Second. It Is our deliberate convic
tion, based upon the proverbial order-
linens of our community, that this
shameful deed was done In the heat of
passion, wrought up to a high and un.
necessary pitch by tbe wild rumors of
the coming of. a mob. Worked up by
this fear, a few men thought that the
approach of the officers was the coming
of the mob and some one fired the fatal
shot, not Intending In the least to re
sist nrrest or to lire upon the officers.
They thought that tbe mob was flrlng
upon them. They would not have re
sisted arrest had they known the sit.
nation.
That, to the contrary notwlthstand.
Inc, we believe that the deed should be
punished and we here pledge oureelves
by nil the respect we have for law and
good order to co-operate with the prop
er authorities In ferreting out the one
who did the fatal shooting.
Third. Our community Is composed
of upwards of two thousand (
peaceable, law-abiding, sober am
dustrlous persons. We have no sa
loons, no special police regulation, no
bawdy houses, no gambling dens and
no hellish dives. We have four
churches, two great Institutions of
learning, one public school, grocery
stores, drug store Is building, meat
market, blacksmith shop and other
stores for the supply of the commodl-
Iles of life. The South Atlanta Land
•'ompany will bear testimony that our
people are rapidly buying land, build
ing house* and thus giving to the state
the best pledge of good citizenship.
Fourth, We place ourselves upon rec
ord In unmistakable language with the
hen white people of our community
and of Atlanta, upon the following
fundamental* of our civilization:
A. All raplzts must be punlahed fut
COFFEE WAS IT

"All my life I have been such a slave
to cofree that the very aroma of It was
enough to set my nerves quivering.
"I kept gradually losing my health,
but I used to say ‘nonsense,’ It don’t

the truth and the Anal result was that
my whole nervous force was shattered.
"My heart became weak and uncer
tain In Its action and that frightened
me. Finally my physician told me,
about a year ago, that I must. stop
drinking coffee or I could never expect

ly, quickly and Without mercy. He who
Insults the purity of woman must have
no quarter. We have no language
strong enough to condemn these block’
men who have stirred up hatred of the
races by their crimes against the white
women. Wo want them punished. We
say no quarter to them, for they do not
respect their own women. Let no gull
ty man escape.
B. We want all dives and saloons
closed. The Infamous negro dives all
over the city Is the hell-bottom of our
race and we appeal to the law to save
un from the destruction that sweep*
rh these pit*.
Ye pledge ourselves to aid every
rort to apprehend all criminals.
D. We believe that vagrants are one
mles of the South and they should be
taught that good government requires
good citizens, and good citizens work
and If they will not work voluntarily
they should be made to work Involun
tarily, under the lash of the law. We
would write In large letters: Death to
Vagrants.
E. We believe In obedience to law,
The law Is supreme and we pledge our
selves to bring our people up to the
standi rds required by good govern-
ment.
F. Wc believe In the protection of the
Innocent.
Finally. We nssure the citsons of At
lanta that with their help we shall he
able to bring up this former slave
people to the mark of good order and
Christian civilisation.
We ask your help, your protection,
your encouragement and your confi
dence. Yours,

“Forty-five Minutes From Broadway."
Georgs M. Cohan is evidently set
ting a pace for the writers of so-
called musical comedy. Over a year
ago he remarked In a newspaper In
terview that the eye was tired of tin
sel and color schemes, while the ear
was growing weary of dap-trap mel
ody.
’’The day for the big chorus and
cartload of music has seen Its day,”
remarked Mr. Cohan. True to hi* con
victions, his next play,. "Forty-live
Minutes From Broadway,” only con
tained live musical numbers, while the
chorus consisted of only eight girls and
eight men, It was a daring innova
tion. yet the tremendous success of
’Forty-five Minutes From Broadway”
has proved the wisdom of Mr. Cohan's
theory.
’’Forty-live Minutes From Broad
way” will appear Tuesday and Wed
nesday next at the Grand for three
performances. Including a matinee
Wednesday.
Crowds at the Bijou,
The Bijou Is being well attended this
week and Sidney Toler, In "How Bhx

The engagement will Include three
more performances.
“Not Yet, But Soon,
Not Yet, But Soon," with Hap
Ward as the star, will be the attrac

Theatergoers the country over are
familiar with the offerings of' Ward
& Vokes, and It need only be said that
Hap Ward has ever been the produc
ing genius of this most successful team
of comedians, apd that all of the pro-,
ductlons so widely toured by Ward ft
Vokes were staged by Mr. Ward. The
theater-going public have shown tholr
preference for amusement which does
not entail any necessity for deep think

NEGRO MINISTER
AIDING THE POLICE
Special to Tbe Georgian.
Columbus, Ga., Sept. 28.—There I*
every evidence here that the best class
of negroes deprecate the lawlessness of
their race, and the fact that a negro
preacher made a report to the police of
a case against the city ordinances Is
taken to mean that a more loyal and
law-abiding spirit will be the result of
the preeent agitation of the race ques
tion. It Is the first case on record In
this city, and resulted In a line of 110.
Leon Winter.

tended to at the regular seslson of the
board of education Thursday afternoon.
In addition to the routine business res
ignations were' accepted, appointments
made, .new grades created and rules
which will effect the governing ot the
schoolM discussed.
One of the most Important decisions
reached was the appointment of seven
new supernumeraries as follows: Miss
Kate T. Rafferty, Miss Gertrude Key

In accordance witn the recommen
datlon of the executive committee the
board decided to create a new first
grade In the Walker Street school. The
two teachers for the grade will be ap
pointed later.
The request of the faculty of the
Boys’ High 8chool to create a demerit
system was complied with. Any boy
receiving more than 35 demerits will be
suspended for two weeks. At the end
of this time examinations on the work
done during the period of absence will
be held. If the demerits again number
35 the offender will be expelled.

or’s order keeping the boys off the
streets at night. 1
Messrs. Mitchell and Burns and Su
perlntendent Landrum were appointed
a committee on building to have plans
and locations settled upon before the
appropriations are made by council
next January. In the past much de
lay has been occasioned and the schools
have not been ready for occupancy at
the beginning of the scholaatlo year
because the plan* end sites were left
until after the appropriations were
made.,, ’

Do Your_Meals Fit?
Do You - Feel 8nug and Comfortable
Around Your Waist. Line After
a Hearty Meal,
Did your last meal taste deliciously
good to you, and did you eat all you
wanted? Could you have patted your
rotundity In glee and felt proud of your
appetite and of your good strong stom
ach? Do you feel rosy now becausi
your last meal gave you no Inconven-
lence whatever? If not, you have dys
pepsia In some form, and probably
never realised It. 1
If you have the least trouble In your
stomach after eating, no matter how
little or how much you eat, there Is
trouble brewing and you must correct
It at once.
Most all stomach troubles come from
poor, weak, scahty gastric Juice, that
precious liquid which ought to turn
your food Into rich, red blood*
If you have nausea, your gastric
Jules Is weak. If you have sour risings
or belching*, your food Is fermenting;
t-our gastric Juice le weak. If you have
oss of apnetlte, your gastric Juice le
weak. If you have a bloaty feellng'of
aversion to food, your gastric Juice Is
W Vou need something In your stomach
to supply the gastric Juice which la
scanty, and to give power to the weak
gastric Juice. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab-
ets do this very thing.
Now think—one grain of one of the
Ingredients of these wonderful little
tablets digests 2,000 grains ot food.
They ere several times more powerful
than the gastric Juice In a good, strong,
powerful stomach. They actually di
rest your food for you. ’ Besides, they
ncrease the flow of gastric Juice, Just
what you need to get all the good pos
sible out of everything you eat. You
will never have that "lump oflead” In
your stomach nor any other stomach
trouble after taking Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets. Then everything you eat will
be digested. It will give you strength,
vim, energy and a rosy disposition.
You’ll feel’good ell around-your waist
line after every meal and.lt will make
you feel, good all over.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will make
you feel happy after eating a good,
tearty ideal. Take one or two after
eating. You'll feel line—then, your
meal* will lit, no matter what or when
you eat.
We want to send you a sample pack
age of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets free
of charge, so you con test them your
self and be convinced. After, you have
tried the sample, you will be so satis
fied that you will go to the nearest
