THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN,
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5. 1906.
Of CBM TO
CITTJRfSONERS
Man Appeals to'Mayor Aft
er Story of Cruelty in
Stockade.
For the second time In the last few
weeks charges have been brought
against the city stockade authorities
for cruelty to prisoners.
It was only a short while ago that a
man who had Just come out of a hos-
pltai after live months lying between
life and death waa sent to the stockade
on the charge of being drunk.
This man was working on a steel
structure In Birmingham, when he fell
about forty feet to the hard pavement
below, his head striking an Iron beam.
His skull was fractured. His life was
saved but when he came out his health
was broken and the Injury to his head
subjected him to epileptic fits.
While In Atlanta on his way to his
home In Norfolk, Va., he took several
drinks, which precipitated a fit on the
streets, he states. He waa given a
sentence at the stqckade, and was made
to work out there in his terrible condi
tion until the stockade physician, upon,
learning that he had had a lit at the
stockade, ordered him released.
The latest charge is .brought by a
man whose ndme is withheld because
he fears that if it is learned that he had
been to the stockade for being drunk
he would lose his position.
This man's right hand is swollen to
twice its normal slse, and his left hand
Is cut. The swollen hand Is bruised
severely, and the skin Is torn in several
places.
He was given a sentence of twenty-
one davs In the stockade for being
drunk nnd disorderly. He began his
sentence on October IS.
He charges that he was worked so
hard that his hand became bruised and
swollen. _ '
"I pleaded with the authorities." he
told the mayor Wednesday morning,
"not to make me work in my condition,
but Mr. Grogan, the head guard, Just
told me to get in line. I had to work
several days when my hand was throb
bing nnd paining me almost to death,
even more than It does now.
“Finally, I Just had to refuse to go to
work. I couldn't stand it any longer.
Two days before my sentence expired I
was turned out. Now I am In such a
llx that I have to appeal to the city to
do something for me."
t'onmilssloner of Public Works Col
lier will, no doubt, make an Investiga
tion.

The special session of council, for
the purpose of connldcrlnk the pro
posed- salary raises anil /of, the pro
posal whisky regulations, will be held
Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
There will be determined opposition
to both of the measures In part. Mem
bers of council are practically unani
mous In favoring further restrictions
of the whisky traffic In the city, but
they are sadly divided as to what these
regulations % should be.
The same applies to the salary
raises. Council, as a whole, favors the
raising of the salaries of a number of
•ffielnls, but the members are almost
hopelessly divided, as to who shall get
the raises nnd how large they shall be.
There Is also opposition to the pro-
posed reduction of the salary of the
fir** chief from $4,000 to $3,000. Coun-
• ilman Terrell Is leading this oppo
sition.

Augusta, Ga., Dec. 5.—Colonel John
D. Twiggs, of this city, commanding
the Third Georgia regiment of Infantry,
has received an order from the head
quarters of Georgia troops In Atlanta,
transferring the military company at
Sparta from the Second regiment to the
Third regiment. The transfer will be
made before the holidays and the Spar
ta company will be under the direct
command of Colonel Twiggs. The Third
Teglment now contains seven compa
nies and the 'addition of the Sparta
company will, make the number eight.
Colonel Twiggs stated In an Inter
view that companies are being formed
at Monroe, Covington, Conyers and
Washington, Ga., and that when all
these are added to-the Third regiment
as la now planned this regiment will
contain twelve companies and will be
one of the largest in the state. The lo
cal military companies are very pros
perous at the present time and the in*
terest taken In the drills la greater than
ever before.
Captain Worcaster Disappears.
It Is thought very probable that
Company I, Third Georgia, will be
without a captain, and may be without
one at the presont time. Captain Ru
pert Worcester, who was elected to the
captaincy of the company several
months ago, has had charges preferred
against him by Colonel Twiggs and a
report on the case has been made to the
headquarters in Atlanta. Captain Wor
cester was given a leave of absence of
a month and action on the case was
postponed until he came back. More
than a month’s time has elapsed and
Worcester has not returned. His wife,
whom he left in the city, left here sev
eral days ago, so It Is said, and no one
seems to know where he or she Is.

Table Silver for Christmas
It is generally acknowledged that Community Silver lias achieved a popularity never approached by
anv other plated ware. The reasons for this remarkable success are:
First, because it has the “style” and appearance of sterling. The Community Silver designs are care
fully studied. The ornamentation is extremely rich and deep in both the effects of sterling.
Second, because it represents the truest economy. At the present price of silver, the heaviest plate is
the most economical. Triple plate will wear three times as long as single, while its additional cost 4s by no
means three times as great. J
Community Silver is made only in a plate heavier than triple and is guaranteed (both by the manu
facturers and our selves) to last twenty-five years. Any piece proving unsatisfactory will be exchanged
foi? a new one.
