WITH THREATENING WIFE WITH PISTOL “Mn, Townsend said she wanted nice silk drese In which to lay herself up In when she died and I gave her one,” testified Mrs. Emery Penny be fore Judge Bloodworth Friday morn ing In the trial of a suit against her for board. Judgment tor 332 was given. Mrs. M. C. Townsend brought the suit against Mrs. Penny for $64. She said she ran a boarding house at 153 South Forsyth street and Mrs. Penny boarded with her, giving her nlime first as Perry and later as Penny. She nursed Mrs. Penny when she was sick and Mrs. Penny brought her younger sister to tho boarding house. A negro woman also attended the defendant. For these Items Mrs. Townsend brought the suit. The defendant ad mitted owing 313, but declared she was not responsible for her sister's debts. Following the trial, Mrs. Townsend's husband stated he Intended swearing out a warrant late Friday against Mrs. Penny for assaulting his wife with a pistol. Mrs. Penny, he eays, drew the pistol, declaring' that she would blow the brains out of any one who tried to, come between her and her husband SPIRIT OF GOOD ORDER SWEEPING OVER STATE STOLE A RAILROAD; NOT HIGH FINANCE, Perhaps It was because he was the thirteenth and last negro called up, perhaps It was for fear of corporate power, that Lewis Johnson, a negro, became rash In city court Friday morning and pleaded guilty to "steal ing a railroad." For this enormous crime he received a fine of 360 from Judge Calhoun or a sentence of eleven months. The negro was arrested by Lleuten ant Dunbar for stealing a light from the Western and Atlantic railroad. Judge Calhoun asked him what he had to say. "Why. Your Honor." said Johnson, trembling with fright, "I guess I'll have to plead guilty to simple larceny of a railroad." Judge Calhoun Informed the prison er he was pot charged with taking a whole railroad, In fact he didn't see how he could make away with a rail road without being discovered. 8o only a small One took the place of the big sentence that the prisoner fully expected. Thirteen men were allowed to plead before Judge Calhoun Friday. Court Is not In session, but Judge Calhoun said he wanted to let as many men as possible out of Jnll to enjoy the Christ mas holidays. Light floes were Im posed In all the cases tried. DECATUR STREET” HAS BEEN ARRESTED "Herittur Street" sos arrested Thursday night and locked up hy Lieutenant Dunbar nud County Policeman Echols.

When plana now being made in several of Geor gia’s cities are - fully matured, such scenes as were enacted In Atlanta lost fall will be rare Indeed. This spirit Is the spirit of law and order. It Is not that more people are being converted to this Idea. It Is merely that the great mass of Georgia people who always have been In favor of law and order againat that of mob law Is organising. Ex-Governor VV. J. Northen, presi dent of the Business Men's Gospel Un ion of Atlanta, tha( organlatton which was Instrumental In organising the Christian League, has Just returned to Atlanta, after a trip over the state In the Interest of the law and order move ment and the report he makes of the conditions existing In the cities he hat visited shows that. the teovenjent u spreading with great rapidity. ' It shows that the law and order ele ment In Georgia—and that element among both races Is a large one—Is or. ganlitng. In every city Governor Nor. then visited he found that the ministers of both races were In hearty sympathy with the movement and In addition the Christian organisations of buslnesa men were willing to heartily co-operate. Extend to Other Cities. In Atlanta the Christian League (« directed by the Buslnesa Men's Gos pel Union, of which Governor Northen Is prosldent, and In it ore law-abiding members of both races. It was not to extend this same organisation to other cities that Governor Northen visited other places in Georgia. He pointed out to every audience he had that all that was wanted was co-operation In the movement and organisation In the vnrlous cities. as the local conditions warranted. In Macon, Columbus, Augusta, Spar, tn and Rome, Governor Northen found that the*pcople were tn hearty aympn thy with the movement started In At lanta by the Business Men's Gospel Un- Ion and In each of those cities plans Piles Cured thoroughfare. fjjr.L "iHHuttir 8tro**t" . :it anoth'T negro with n knife.

In Columbus, such men as Rev. Dr. Ashby- Jones, of the First Baptist church, and such business men as Hon. Gunby Jordan and F. B. Gordon are In the movement, and now have a law and order organization In dcflnlte shape. They are co-operating with the law and order element among the ne groes and the organization promises to become a strong one. 8trong in Macon. The same Is true In Macon, where the Evangelical Alliance, an organ! xatlon composed of the mlnlstera of all denominations In the city has taken the matter up and has invited the colored ministers of Macon to meet with the white mlnlstera and co-operate In the movement for a better understanding between the races and for law end or der. Prominent business men, too, such ns Frank Mallory, president of the Business Men's Christian League, are In the movement, and It promises to be as successful as the one In Atlanta. In Augusta the movement Is headed by the. ministers of that city led by Rev. Dr. Melton, of the Baptist denom ination, and Rev. Dr. Plunkett, of the Presbyterians Governor Northen also visited Sparta, Ills old home, and prom inent men of that town Joined heartily In the movement. Among them are John Walker, the well-known banker: Judge Little, of the county court, and Professor Mali Duggan, superintendent of the county school system. "No locality," Governor Northen told these leading people. In the various cit ies, "Is protected from riot, lynching and bloodshed, as tong as public senti ment tolerates deflance of the law. May Happen Any Time. "A race riot auch as occurred in At lanta Is liable to occur In any city In Georgia unless the law and order ele ment Is organised and the best people of the community -are thoroughly or ganised against It. This movement Is In favor of the guilty of both races being punished, but punished accord ing to law. A race riot Is not premed itated. It la likely to happen any tlma. One chance ahot may preclpltata dis order that It would require a regiment of soldiers to quell. “And the only way to prevent such a state of affaire occurring Is for the law and order element to organize. Law- abiding people must protect themselves against the tendencies toward the de fiance of the law. A better under standing between the races must be established and the better classes among both race* are coming to this conclusion.” In many instances Governor Northen Was told by citizens that certainly they were for law and order. But In every case they admitted their sentiment was useless unless the other best citizens of the place were organized with them and on record In favor of Inw and order and a better understanding between the races. The result of Governor Northen’s talks In the several cities he has vis ited has been that widespread Interest in the movement has been caused and the Indications are that within n short time organizations with this object aa their aim will be all over the state.
