LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE CARD FROM MR. ANTONOPOLOUS To the Editor of The Herald. Sir:—With reference to'the letter In last Sunday’s Chronicle, from Mr. Jno. B. Jones, in regard to the stand ing in Augusta of Geo. Gavalos, I, ip behalf of many Greeks in this city, would like to say that while we may not question his honesty, we certain ly do question his right to attempt Succeed in) the murder of a good citizen without provocation. There are many Greeks in Augusta, who, to use Mr. Jones’ words, are just “as honest, industrious and trustwor thy,” as Geo. Gavalos, yet do not con sider him, in any way, their associate. Very respectfully,' NICK ANTONOPOLOUS. Augusta, Ga., 10th May, 1914. FIND BODY oF YOUNG NEGRO IN THE RIVER The drowned body of a negro man was found in the Savannah river to day at about one o’clock, at Battery Park, the excursion picnic grounds be low Sand Bar Ferry. A colored man working in the vicinity discovered the body tangled In the overhanging branches of trees at the river’s edge and reported the matter at once to the police department of Augusta. They notified Jailer Plunkett, who la looking Into the case. It is thought that the body may turn out to be that of a young negro who was reported drowned at Battery Park on Monday. A negro excursion went down there , on that day, as usual, and the negro, whose name was Willy—last name un known—was one of five boys who left the crowd and went In swimming. It is Impossible to find any negro who was on the excursion to glean any de tails about the affair, but it is a com monly reported about town that when they came back Monday night thqy “left one man down there.” A later report may be able to give the Identity of the body found today.

MORNING WITH THE RECORDER Mary Lizzie Curry and her child were up for cursing. l»At least Mary Lizzie was, —the child is too young, being at the immature age of eight months. It took almost no interest in the procedings, but hung over Mary Lizzie’s shoulder and peered curiously at the jury. The jury, by the way, is an attachment which has only recently been added to the Re corder’s Court. It is composed of the young gentlemen who very kindly leave their work every morning to come around and sit. They have here tofore been referred to as the au dience. The judge has on several oc casions asked their opinions on doubtful and puzzling cases, until, on Saturday, his honor turned to them and said: “What does the Jury think about it?” Hence, in future, they must be designated by this uncom plimentary title. Their chief use will he to lend their immoral support to the accused. But they are not to be bought. Any at tempt in this direction will lead to a publication in the paper giving all names and amounts. Moreover, no of fer of less than two dollars will he considered in any event But to return to Mary Lizzie and the child. One member of the jury became so uneasy under the fixed gaze of that chocolate-colored Infant, that he turned uncomfortably to his neighbor, and sail: “It’s looking at you.” He thought to pass it off like that. It was a mistake to say any thing. Nobody had noticed the child’s extreme interest in him till he call ed attention to it Mary Lizzie lives in O’Klef’s Alley, off Monroe street. There were three wit nesses lined up against her, all women, who accused her and her older children of all sorts of things. Evidently Mary Lizzie’s eldest son, aged seven, was the bantam-weight champion of O’Klef’s Al ley, and the other three women were the mothers of other Black Hopes. They sought to avenge the injuries he had done to their sons hy accusing Mary IJz zie before court. And undoubtedly Mary Lizzie was guilty of having switched up and down, with blazing eyes, saying: "I’m Jes’ as good as any of you rothe s!” One of the witnesses gave a dramatic impersonation of this. "Where does your husband work?” the Judge asked of the accused. "Works for the city,” Mary Lizzie said. "Which gang?” Mnry Lizzie didn’t understand. He laid hrirk sidewalks, she said.

The judge suspended her sentence of $0 or 20 days and told her to go back and behave herself. The other women were as much In fault as she. “And what’s more,” he said, turning: to the three witnesses, “If she eve* brings uny of you down here for any disturb ance, you’d better bring an eight months-old baby down here with you, I’ll give you fair warning.
