Whltlleld, N. A. Parsons,
Residents on Mangum street, be
tween West Mitchell and West Hun
ter streets, are thoroughly aroused be
cause the handsome two-story home
at 120 Mangum street lias been rented
to a negro woman for a negro boarding
hmp!e. without the chance even being
given to a white person to secure It.
Tho residence is probably the most
commodious and desirable In the entire
block. It Is In a strictly white settle
ment, bclpg next door to the home of
Rev. A. C. Ward, pastor of the Temple
Baptist church. The negro woman who
lias rented It for a boarding house Is
Casslc Stephens.
The residents of that block, Dr. War]
states, are getting ready 1 to move out
.lust as soon as arrangements can pos
sibly be made. He says the whole
neighborhood is up and In antis against
the action of W. E. Wimpy In renting
the residence for a negro boarding
house.
"To Colored Paoplo Only."
Kor an entire week there has been
appearing In one of the Atlanta papore
tho following advertisement, displayed
conspicuously In big type:
For rent to colored peoplo only—120
Mangum street, two doors from Mitch
ell, elegant two-story house, newly
painted and papered and In flrat-class
condition. To party who will run a
tlrst-olass colored boarding house, price
*15.00 per month. Cheap at three times
tho price. Sec property and address
I*. O. box 351. If satisfactory refer
ences given will back tenant for an/
teasonable amount."
The adveitlsoinent Is peculiar In sev
eral respects, and an Investigation was
made. Several residents In tho neigh
borhood were seen end all stated that
it was done because W. E. Wimpy, Hi
with Mr. Ward for causing me to
leave."
Dr. Ward Emphatic.
Dr. Ward denounced the action In
strong terms.
"I can't see," he said, "how It could
be anything but spite. Why should Mr.
Wimpy advertise this house for *15 a
month, when It had blen bringing *40?
Why should ho advertise It for negroes
only, and why should he be so anxious
to rent It to negroes that he ofTera to
back them up?
•‘The neighbors are all making ar
rangements to move out. We Shall pe
tition the city government to do some
thing to protect us, If that Is possible.
My church will certainly take action
tomorrow, and will probably bring suit
against Mr.. Wimpy for the deprecia
tion of the value of the church prop
erty, because of the negro boarding
house.
•'I never heard of such a trick before.
It's awful.”
As it representative of The Georgian
passed the negro boarding house a
woman was heard to say: “Tho man
who rertted that house to negroes ought
to be hung.
"I tried to get. that house a week ago
at u much higher figure,” she explained,
"and he said he wouldn't let me have It
for *101) per month, for lie wanted
negroes to live there, I asked him why,
and he said because I wouldn't stay
there as long as negroes would."
Business Transection.
Mr. Wimpy, In a telephone conversa
tion, Insisted that It was purely a bus
iness transaction.
"I put the ad. in to attract attention.
I have rented the house for a long
time, and nt a good figure. White
people don't want to stay there with
the railroad shutting up the streets and
all the smoke and dust Incident to the
coming railway line. It was purely a
°: vn n wm, ^^TVaTwho'Vcs bu“s prop£.t.om' and no personal
even with Re\, A. C. Waid, who lives an , moj „ y or grievance had anything to
do with It.”
Cnsste Stephens, the negro woman
who rented the residence for a boarding
next door.
Tills Mr. Wimpy strenuously denies.
He says It Is purely n business proposi
tion. He says that tho coming of the
Atluntu. Birmingham and Atlantic rail
way right nenr the door will destroy
that section of the city as a lit abode
for white people, and he wanted to rent
this house right away to negroes. /
Had Paid *40.
Mrs. Carrie Matthews, a widow, win
ran a boarding house there, until about
ten days ago, says she paid *40 per
month for the home.
It was nothing but spite." she said,
"as can be seen on reading the nd.
„ ........... “I ran 11 boarding house there sev-
Stipei intentient of Summerville and ; oral months. One day one of my hoard-
ion. G. P. Garry. era threw some slop out of the window
Spring Place and mission, A. !■• into Mr. Ward's yard. He had a case
made against me, and I had to pay u
dne of *3.75. I decided then and there
not to live Side by side with him. I
had been paying *40 a month.
"I left on November HI. A few days
after I saw the ad. and later 1 learned
that I'nssle Stephens, colored, had
rented the house. It's a shame to l>ui

If any one Imd been ao unfortunate
as to have been at the corner of . De
catur and Courtland streets Tuesday
morning at 2 o'clock, underneath an
immense steel girder which was being
hoisted for the new Washington street
viaduct. It would have been necessary
to removo the remains from the pave
ment with a scraper.
For the girder, which weighs only ten
tons and Is but 61 feet long, after hav.
Ing been raised almost Into position
across Decatur atreet; suddenly fell
with a tremendous crash, a distance
of 12 feet to the pavement, the result
of a little prank of one of tfie work
men.
This workman, was charged with the
special duty of holding a guy rope,
which controlled the entire proceed
ings. When the big girder was several
feet In the air the man with tfie guy
rope probably began to wonder what
the result would be if the girder should
fell. And then, with a view of satisfy.
Ing his curiosity, the workman, with*
6ut any warning whatever, suddenly let
go the rope.
As the girder landed the man- who
had turned loose the rope proceeded to
“light a rag." He got way from the
scene as quickly as possible and has
not been seen since.
Several hours of hard work had been
required to get the girder In readiness
for hoisting, uml all of this work had
to be gone over again after tho acci

was necessary to cut the trolley wires
In Decatur street.
It was announced Tuesday that the
remaining girder will be raised-Wed

asked to have special men on the scene
to prevent people from congregating
and endangering themselves.
