NEGRO HAS CLOSE CALL
Respite from Georgia Governor Came
Just as the Negro Was About
TO be Hanged-other
Atlanta News.

Atlanta. March 12.--(Special)- Some
forty of the lieutenant colonies on Gov
ernor Terrelrs staff gave a pleasant sur
prise tonight to LIEUT.. Col. James W.
English, Jr, chief of stan, in the shape
of the presentation of a handsome sterl-
ing silver loving cup, appropriately en-
graved and resting upon a heavy silver
tray.
The presentation was made at the mag
nifcient home of Colonel and Mrs. En-
gish on Peachtree street, where a num-
Der of members Of the staff went at
o clock headed by Governor Terrell. Mrs.
English had been informed of what was
on hand, but the colonel was in absolute
ignorance of the affair. and was taken
wholly by surprise.
Among those in the party who went to
the English home for this occasion were
Lieut.. Col Harry Schlesinger and. Maj.
w. e. Irwin. by whom the presentation
was arranged, and the following members
of Governor Terreil's staff: Lieut.. Coils.
Gordon P Kiser. W. E. Chaplin, j. Van
Holt Nash, L. w. Thomas. George W.
Harrison. L. L. McCleskay J. d. Robin
son, w. T. Gentry, Joe Brown Connally,
w. L. Peel, 7. C. Erwin, f. ]. Paxon,
Charles w. Crankshaw, Walter p. An
drews, George Brown, Forrest Adair OF
Atlanta, H. o. Williford of Commerce
and several others from various points in
the state.
The presentation to Colonel English was
made In appropriate and expressive terms
by Governor Terrell, while the former,
taken by surprise as he was, replied
with much feeling and heartfelt express
sion Of his qualification at the remem-
brance.
Upon one panel of the cup was engraved
Colonel English's monogram, ~. w. Il"
Jr.9 Upon another was the coat OF arms
OF Georgia, while the third panel bore the
inscription, From Comrades on Governor
Terrell's Staff, March IL. 1905" Upon the
silver tray was engraved, Presented to
Colonel James w. English Jr Chief, by
Governor Terrell and the following mem
bers of his staff as a token of the esteem
in which they hold him." Then follow the
names of the governor and the forty col
onels who took part in the remembrance.
Colonel English has taken prominent
part in practically every trip which Gov
ernor Terrell has made during his term,
and on which he was accompanied by
members of his staff. If there was any
thing necessary to see that such trips
were a success from commencement to the
return home Colonel English has always
seen to 1t that the proper thing was done.
The members of the staff have always
expressed deep appreciation of his
thoughtfulness as well as of his comrade-
ship, and it is in recognition of these that
this handsome remembrance was given
him tonight.

Admission. March R-lspeciaL)-Mr and

A New war Poem.

The Strife of Brothers." a poem by
Joseph Tyne Derry. Published by the
Franklin Printing Company. Atlanta. Ca.
Price, 81.
In a neatly printed and tasteful volume
Mr.. Derry celebrates in verse the Confed-
crate armies and the southern people. He
served in the war from start to finish, and
during its course he was married at Au-
gusta. To his wife he dedicated the vol
ume before us, and the lines Of the dedi-
cation are these:
To lady fair who gave US promise sweet
that did with true fullflment later meet,
From once young soldier who with fond
est pride
Received mid wars alarms his lovely
bride
Gods gift in youthful bloom and ripening
age,
In his life's story she adorns each page.
The music of her voice through all these
years
Hath brought him joy and banished glomy
fears;
Her eyes love-lighted, have made bright
his way,
Oft turning adverse night to gladstone
day;
Her heart hath ever loyal proved and
do"
The poem is almost epical in form. re-
lating in martial measure the great his
toric story. In the seven books of the
poem is told in lines that stir the blood,
the story of the gathering hosts of the
Confederacy; the ebb and flow OF the bat
tie tide; the southern triumph of the
early campaigns; the ebb of the tide
later on; the second rise of southern
hopes; the final success of the invader
and the furling of the banners Historic
accuracy is preserved in the elegant lines
and Superintendent Saton of the Atlanta
public schools has for that reason made
Mr.. Derry's poem a part of the literary
course in the Logs High school of that
city
The tone of the poem is lofty true and
beautiful. and not a few have expressed
the hope that 1.-THE Strife of Brothers
may yet be given a place in every school
In the south There Is not a line in 1t
that the most conservative can object to-
IT Is not incendiarv or mischief breeding
It is the story of brave endeavor and

ly-howing. and vet inspiring. verse
The task Mr.. Derry had set for himself
was by no means an easv one To write
the story of the great struggle In num-
bers calls for literary skill and aptitude
but the reader of the little volume whose
sympathies run true TO his native land
will almost certainly say that Mr. Derry
has met all demands upon him in excel

Competent Nurses to be Secured.

Mayor woodward in an interview said
he did not see why a competent head
nurse for the Grady hospital could not
be found among the many nurses in the
south. He said he considered the instruc-
ton and the methods in the south equal
to those of the north, and he did not see
why 1t was necessary to go to New York
for head nurse when there is plenty of
talent at home. He criticised the action
of the twelve nurses in leaving the hos
pital patients without attention, but said
that If indignities had bee~ put upon
them by making them wait upon negro
patients, the matter should be fully In
vestigated. President Joseph Hirsch
made a statement today in which he said
he would be glad to see an investigation
of the affairs of the hospital and would
lend his cooperation to it to the fullest
extent

Service Not Yet Normal.

New York, March l2-Though traffic
conditions were somewhat better on the
subway and elevated railroad today, the
service was far from being normal. At
times the elevated trains ran regularly
and again there were long delays. The
service in the subway was better. There
were a few minor accidents as a result
o. the inexperience of the motormen and
guards. The company had more men at
work, and officials were busy during the
day examining old employees seeking re-

call for his life.
At 10 o'clock Friday morning, M. P.

the Governors office. The hanging was
scheduled to take place between the
hours of 10 and o'clock
Attorney Hall went over ,ne matter
with the Governor and at 1920 o'clock
the Governor had reached conclusion to
grant Sims a respite of two weeks. or
until March "a He promptly put in a
long distance call by telephone for Sheriff
Clewis and also sent him telegram
stating that he had granted respite
and that Sims was not to hang.
''How do you know that the sheriff has
not already hanged your client?' the
Governor asked Mr.. Hall,
''Why, he agreed to wait until noon be-
fore executing the sentence" Mr.. Hall
replied.

would be necessary to violate the quar-
