iJE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. October Everybody’s inevitably reminds one of these tremendous lines of Tennyson: “When the centurie* behind me like i fruitful lend reposed, When I clung to all the preaent for the promise that it closed, When I dipped into the future far as human eye could see, Saw the rition of the world and all the wonder that would be.” Tack London ^ e s* nn * n g bis remarkable description of mankind J ’ “Before Adam,” pushes human recollection far back before the days of earliest recorded history; Charles Edward Russell, seeking in Australia further “Soldiers of the Common Good,” seems to snatch the veil from an almost imminent millennium, while in between the teeming, busy, restless, resistless present is presented in many a tale, such as “The Thief Takers of Paris,” by Vance Thompson; “Help! Help! Help!” the old problem of domestic service, by Roy L. McCardell; Hughes and Jerome contrasted, by Frank H. Simonds, and “The Strings of Liberty,” a story of bitter, biting, passionate realism, by Maximilian Foster. It makes a wide, broad and deep magazine, but such must a magazine be which claims to be r azine 15 cent* on all news-stands. )i.;oi year.

L. Heard, and our position upon matters of vital con cern to the city and state. First. We have no word of pallia' lion or excuse or Justification for the killing of Officer Heard. We condemn it nod 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 lines of our community, that this shameful deed was done In the heat of passion, wrought up to a high and un necessary pitch by the wild rumors of the coming of a mob. Worked up by this fear, a few men thought that the epproach of the officers was the coming of the mob and some one fired the fata •hot, not Intending In the least to re list arrest or to tire upon the officers. They thought that the mob was tiring upon them. They would not have re listed arrest had they known the sit uation. That, to the contrary notwlthstand Inc. we believe that the deed should be punished and we here pledge ourselves by all the respect we have for law and p oil 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 quiet, peaceable, law-abiding, sober and in bustrious 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 mnrket, blacksmith shop and other stores for the supply of the commodl lies of Ilf*. The South Atlanta Land Company will bear testimony that our people are rapidly buying land, build- Inc houses and thus'giving to the state the host pledge of good citizenship. Fourth. We plnce ourselves upon rec ord In unmistakable language with the best white people of our community •nd of Atlanta, upon the following fundamentals of our civilization: A.

He who Insults the purity of woman must have no quarter. We have no language strong enough to condemn these black 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 guil 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 us from the destruction that sweeps through these pits. C. We pledge ourselves to aid every effort to apprehend all criminals. D. We believe that vagrants Are cne. mles of the South and they should be taught that good government requires good cltlxcns, and good dtlxens work and If they will not work voluntarily they should be made to work Involun tarily. under the lash of the law. We would wrlto 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 standards required by good govern- ment. F. We believe In the protection of the Innocent. Finally. We assure the cltxons of At lanta that with their help we shall be able to bring up this former slave people to the mark of good order and Christian civilization. We ask your help, your protection, your encouragement and your confl- dence. Yours, J. W. E. Bowen, W. H. Crogman. W. » Cralley, W. S. Cameron, J. Russell Barnes, W. H. Combs, John Crotley, J. D.

The farmers and their wives have brought forward their best productions and large cr««ds ar« view ing and commending the handsome cx- hl The contest among the ladles for the “Forty-five Minutes From Broadway." .George M. Cohan Is evidently set ting a pace tor the writers of so- called musical comedy. Over a year ago he remarked In a newspaper in terview that tho e}-e was tired of tin sel and color schemes, while the ear was growing weary of clap-trap mel ody. “The day for the big chorus and cartload of music, has seen Its day,” remarked Mr. Cohan. True to hla con victions, his next play, "Forty-five Minutes From Broadway," only con tained live musical numbers, while the chorus consisted of only eight girl* and eight men. It was a daring Innova tion, yet the tremendous success of "Forty-live Minutes From Broadway" has proved the wisdom of Mr, Cohan'i theory. "Forty-five 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 Bax ter Butted In,” la scoring a well-de served hit. The engagement will Include three more performances. "Not Yet, But 8oon." "Not Yet, But Soon," with Hap Ward as the star, will be the attrac tlon at the Bijou next week. Theatergoers the country over ate familiar with the offerings of Ward & Yokes, and It need only be said that Hap Ward has ever been the produo Ing genius of this most successful team of comedians, and that all of the pro ductions so widely toured by Ward A Yokes were staged by Mr. Ward. The theater-going public have shown their preference tor amusement which does not entail any necessity for deep think Ing and provides music and laughter. Such Is the general style of "Not Yet, But Soon," and It Is promised that the music, songs and entire Investiture of scenic and costume embellishment are entirely new. The musical numbers are a collection of song hits, the act ing company comprising fifty people of merit, and In every way the attrac tion Is the strongest with which Mr. Ward has ever been astbclated. Many matters of Importance were at tended to at the regular seslson of the board of education Thursday afternoon. In addition to the routine business res ignations were accepted, appointments mode, new grades created and rules which will effect the governing of the schools discussed. One of the most Important decisions reached was the appointment of seven new supernumeraries as follows: Miss Kate T. Rafferty, Miss Gertrude Rcy nolds.

At the end of this time examinations on the work done during the period of absence will be held. If the demerits again number 36 the offender will be expelled.

STREETS PARADED BY CAR STRIKERS NEGRO MINISTER AIDING THE POLICE Special to The Georgias. Columbus, Ga, Sept. 28.—There Is 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 tho city ordinances Is taken to mean that a more loyal and law-abiding spirit will be the result of the present agitation of the race ques tion.
