be conducted by Assistant District Attorney

to accumulate all the evidence possible
and place 1t at the disposal OF Mr.. Null
lowney.

instructed to call at the Treasury Depart
ment today to protest against the letting

Instructions as to their duty as executors
under the will OF the late George Bogus,
president of Carroll Institute.

OF insuran money and invest 1t for the
benefit of testator's niece, Mrs. Sophia
Kohl, of Baltimore. The Investment is to
be in bonds of Carroll Institute. Mrs. Kohl
objects to this because the bonds constitute

they have no discretion but hesitate to m Ike
the investment in the face OF Mrs. Kohl's

An Appeal to Women OF Georgia.

To the Christian Women of Georgia ::
For years mighty struggle has been
going on, for the redemption OF our
State from the homes greatest enemy,
the saloon. Through faithful prayer
and effort much good has been accom-
plished and large portion of the State
has been rescued. Drunkenness, i'm
morality and crime have decreased,
and better condition of affairs exists
wherever prohibition prevails.
But the sin-creating. crime. fostering
saloon system still remains within our
borders, sending out illegalized liquor
into forbidden districts to undo much
OF the good that has been accomplished.
The liquor traffic, being now con-
centrated in the large cities and OBJ
tanning power and influence, by aid of
politics and press, has become impreg-
nable to prohibition by local option
and strong measures are now necessary
for its overthrow.
Good men, wise men, patriotic men,
have taken the matter in hand to ac-
complish this through the Legislature
by the Anti-barroom law, which "ban-
ishes the saloon, with its license; for
bids the sale of alcoholic liquors, ex-
cept for medical, mechanical and chem
ical purposes; requires the place where
it is sold TO be kept under the strictest
surveillance by the grand jury; forbids
small percentage of gain to the vendor,
and does not interfere with the prohi-
ton counties"
Surely no better law could now be
enacted. And these good men VINO are
working so faithfully for the home and
the welfare of their people and the
best interests of this state, ask earn
estly the cooperation and prayers of
the women OF Georgia. And shall they
withhold them? God forbid, and grant
that they may be up and doing n the
crisis that is upon us.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, that has been SO long in the
struggle, would add its most earnest
appeal to that OF our good temperance
men, and urge the women of Georgia to
go to work in every way that is open
to them, in the interests and for the
success OF this good measure. First
of all, we beg them to meet together
in prayer for Gods help and blessing
especially for the coming state cleo
ton of men into Office, in whose hands
will rest the success or failure of the
Anti-barroom bill. We beg them to
use their pens, their voices, and inAu-
ence in every way, but above all to
pray without ceasing.
Respectfully,
THE WoMAN's CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE
UNION,

dohn Temple Graves Makes Allega-

From the Atlanta Journn,. October list.
Hon. John Temple Graves, the well
known orator and lecturer. who has es-
poused the cause of Seaborn Wright,
Populist candidate for governor In the
pending campaign, has furnished the
following card for publication;
To the Editor of The Journal:
In time past the Atlanta Journal has
been the friend of the people against all
corporate greed, and q resolute antago-
mist to the dangerous aggrandizement or
railroad menopolies in the state.
The Journal, too, is a free, fair news
paper. definite in its editorial advocates.
and consistent but free to every inteli-
gent phase Of public sentiment, and new
or SO much the slave of faction
the news. Thousands Of honest
men in Georgia are rejoicing in
the existence of The Journal and this
fearless policy Of independence:
ask the use of this bold column of the
people to ventilate some incidents in
which, it seems to me- the people are In
terested and in which we may yet be
forced to ask The Journal for its power
full assistance
There are some secret and powerful
forces taking a hand in this state cam
paign whose methods should be brought
into the open. 1t may be that they are
all right-and it may be that they are
not.
Some Il days ago on the 18th Of Sep
TENDER l was on my way to jackson to
make campaign speech for Seab Wright
and pure politics against the machine.
When the conductor collected tickets /
gave him mine, a straight full-fare ticket
for which L had paid three cents a mile,
without hope of reward or fear of reim-
bursement-as an honest citizen ought
to do. Just across the aisle in the
smoker sat F. j. Wimberly a big nulat-
to, employed by the Democratic Machine
committee to make speeches to the edi-
fication or mystification OF his race upon
the gubernatorial issue. When VIM
berleys ticket was called for, was
amazed to see him draw forth a round
trip pass issued by the Southern Rail-
way company and marked Compliment
tary," without any other consideration
given for its issuance.
If it had been a 1000 mile ticket book,
might have concluded that the Demo-
cratic machine had invested largely in
these books to pay the travelling ex-
penses Of it's spell binders and that this
Tas one of them.
But a straight round trip pass, is
sued complimentary without other
consideration. suggested to mo a degree
of intimacy between the corporation and
the machine that was simply startling
in It's possibilities.
l bore this incident in my mind.
Afew days ago / had placed In my
hands two very remarkable Documents
which L desire to present to the consid-
Grafton of the people of Georgia. They
follow in logical order, and carry with
them volume of comment some OF
which I shall suggest, and much of which
shalt leave 10 the common sense of the
people; OF the authenticity of the docu-
ments there can be no sort OF doubt.
Here Is tho first, in all it's origina
freshness. and purity:
