DETAILS or TROUBLE
IN GEoRGIA'S CATITlA.LLs
Thousands of Men and Boys Gathered
on Streets Seeking Revenge for
Various 0utrages.

Atlanta, Sept. pa race war Of
alarming proportions began here last
night. Through the night it ragged
with varying vigor, and when morn
ing dawned today, il found the down
town streets in possession Of eight
companies of the Fifth Georgia infan-
try with battery OF light artillery in
reserve. Through the Gay little Of
Importance has occurred. The police
claimed, with the aid of tne military,
to have the situation under control.
This condition came as the result of
numerous and repeated assaults or at
tempted assaults upon white women
by negroes. The list of an even dozen
of such assaults, within the limits of
Fulton county within the last nine
weeks, came yesterday, when four at
tempts at assault were reported. Flar-
ing headlines in the special editions
of afternoon papers, wrought the pop
ulace to high pitch Of excitement.
The usual Saturday night crowds were
largely increased by men and boys
who thronged the downtown streets.
There was no leader and no overt act
until late il the evening. About 10
O'Clock a negro man showed a white
woman from the sidewalk on White
hall street, in the center OF towil. Al
most simultaneously negro woman
made an insulting remark TO q white
man on an adjoining street ard he
administered what he considered due
punishment.
WORK OF DESTRUCTION.
From this start the excited crowd,
which had become mob, began its
work OF destruction. Five thousand
men and boys thronged the downtown
streets looking fornegroeS. News that
a riot had started brought thousands
more from their homes in the suburbs
and residence districts, until fully
10000 men thronged the downtown
section. They made attacks on the
incoming street cars. Each car was
scanned for negroes. The trolleys
were pulled from the wires and in the
semi-darkness of the unlighted cars
negroes were beaten, cut and stamped
upon in all unreasoning, mad frenzy.
If a negro ventured resistance Cr re-
monstrated, it meant practically sure
death. One car, half filed with
negroes, approached from an outside
run. The mob dashed for the car.
Resistance was made by the negroes,
who had not been apprised Of trouble.
Three negroes lay dead Oh the floor Of
the car when twas permitted to move
on, and two more were seriously
beaten and unconscious.
MAYOR WOODWARD APPEALED.
When the crowd seemed to be get
ting beyond control, at about 20
O'Clock Mayor Woodward mounted a
car platform on Peachtree and Ma
rietta streets and urged the crowd to
disperse, declaring that the assailants
of the white women would be ade-
quately and promptly punished by
due process of law. Mayor Woodward
was given d respectful hearing, but
when he finished, the work OF destruc-
ton was resumed. He made another
appeal few moments later, but with
out result. Then he turned in gen
eral fire alarm, calling the entire
department to the scene. To Chief
Joyner, he gave the laconic order:
"Clear the Streets"
The result was to stop the mob in
it's work in that immediate section

EVILS OF MODERN LIFE.
Harm Done by Hurry and Worry OF
Our Modern Civilization.

Not long ago, while travelling, I
CHANGED to stop at a village on the
river Rhine, where / found an aston
ishing number of old people. There
We're a dozen over one hundred years
age, and many from so years old up
TO the century mark; yet straight and
vigorous. One woman nearly a hun
dred years old was earning her living
by picking hops; her grandchildren
were middle-aged. 1t was quite Won
derful. But there was no mystery
about it; it was merely the effect of a
simple life spent largely in the fields,
with plain diet. consisting of a few
vegetables and fruits, little meat, and
native beer and wine for beverages.
Nothing can be more obvious than
that the very complexity of our mod
ern civilization is shortening our lives.
But of all the evils that affiict us the
worst ard most destructive are hurry
and worry. Hurry drives the body
machine beyond it's capacity, while
worry racks it inwardly. Of the two
worry is probably the worse. This
might, indeed, be called the age of
worry. Because of the intense nerv-
Gus strain to which we are subjected,
we do vastly more worrying than did
our forebears. The average man Of
to-day is continually surrounded and
pursued by phantom troubles, which,
though few of them ever materialize
into realities, haunt him continually,
running his peace of mind and injur-
ing his health.-Dr. John V. Shoe
maker in the Reader.

Reesption Was Costly.

Mrs. Augustus Heaton, of Washing
ton, some time ago changed from the
Episcopalean TO the Roman Catholic
church and by way of celebrating
the event decided to give a reception
in honor of the bishop of her diocese
She decided, however, that her already
famous drawing-room was not suffi-
GENTLY respIendent to serve as place
of reception for the bishop who was to
come and congratulate her There
Tas yet time in which to make the
:Oom more attractive and Nine. Hea-
ton, with true artistic taste, had
everything taken out of the room ex-
cept the old furniture and a few art
objects. The walls before had been
covered with tapestry, but that was
not enough for a reception for the
bishop. After much thought she
finally decided on drab silk wall COW
ering. What with this and other ex-
tensive changes in the room without
the purchase of furniture Mrs. Hea-
ton got rid of $4,000.

TRICKS OF MEMORY
STRANGE PHENOMENA THAT
PUZZLE SCIENTISTS.
Accounted for by Some on the Basis
of Transnnigration of SouIs-Sec-
ond Explanation Is Phys
icaI One.

Have we ever lived before?" is a
question which is interesting many
correspondents of British newspapers.
DR.. Andrew Wilson anaiyzes the
strange phenomena of memory given
by the contributors in part as follows:
The doctrine of metempsy or
transmigration of souls represents a
very ancient belief. Not merely did
it credit the possibility that the soul
after death could be transferred from
one human being to another, but it
also held that the human soul might
take up its abode in another form of
life and be transferred from the purely
human to the lower animal domain
The theory asserts that as each stage
is ended and a new era begun the
soul sheds most of the features it IL
lustrated in the life it left, retaining
now and then, however, vague memo
ries of some of its antecedent states.
Such memories, forcibly projected
into the foreground of our existence
today, it is held, should convince US
that we have lived before.
Everything we have heard or seen
or otherwise appreciated through the
agency of our sense organs-every
impression, every sensations really
stored up within those brain cells
which exercise the memory function.
True, we may not be able to recall all
of them at will; many are doubtless
beyond the reach of the power that
revives and prints off for us positiveS
from our stored-up mental negatives.
But it is none the less significant that
on occasion we can disinter memories
of events whose date lies very far
back in our lives-recollection these,
perhaps, we have never realized after
their reception, but lying latent, and
only waiting the requisite and proper
stimulus to awaken them and to bring
them to the surface of our life.
This expresses briefly what we
mean by tsubliminal consciousness.
1t is that under-layer of stored-up i'm
pressions and memories which is only
fully awakened in certain brain states
and of which, in our ordinary life, we
only receive the faintest and most
occasional reminders of its existence.
We do not recognize the source of
every bit of ancient news the subli-
COA4SSAOuSASSS may OA1AS "
light and so we treat it's resurrections
as if they were reflections from some
previous phase of existence. But often
the clew is supplied us and the ap-
parent mysterious awakening of past
life apears merely as a recollection,
the origin of which we did not at first
recognize.
Even the idea that sometimes
strikes us on entering a strange place,
hitherto unknown to US, that we have
been there BEFORE is capable of ra-
tional explanation. Our brain is built
on the double principle, and acts in
approaching our surroundings through
the simultaneous work of its two in
tellectuaI centers. If there exists a
slight discrepancy in this simultan-
eous work, SO that one half of our
brain appreciates the scene a little
before the other half, we are presented
with the false memory of having seen
the place before

Betting is neither so general nor so
promiscuous as it was $50 years ago.
when books for recording wagers were
always kept on the tables in the much
frequented coffee houses of London.
Some of these books are still to be
found among collections of antiques,
and they make interesting reading.
All manner of bets are entered there,
on marriages, births and deaths, on
the duration of a ministry, on the
length of the lives of prominent per-

RHEUMATISM STAYS CURED
Mrs. Gotta, Confined to Bed and in
Constant Pain, Cured by Dr..
Williams Pink Pills.


Rheumatism can be inherited and that
fact proves it to be disease of the blood
IL is necessary, therefore, to treat It
through the blood if q permanent cure
is expected. External applications may
give temporary relief from pain but as
long as the poisonous acid is III the blood
the pain will return. perhaps IN a new
place, but it will surely return. DIR. VII
iams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism be
cause they go directly to the seat OF the
disorder, purifying and enriching the
blood.
Mrs. Henry Gotta, of West Cheshire,
Conn, is the wife of the village ma
chinist. ..Several years ago. she says,
ssI was laid up with rheumatism in my
feet, ankles and knees. I was in con-
stant pain and sometimes the affected
parts would swell so badly that could
not get about at all to attend to my
household duties. There was one period
of three weeks during which I was con-
fined to the bed. My sufferings were
awful and the doctors medicine did not
help me.
Zone day u neighbor told me about
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and decided to
try them. After had taken them a
short time was decidedly better and a
few more boxes cured me. What is
better, the cure was permanent.
Remember DR.. Williams Pink Pills do
not act OH the bowels. They make new
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
tone up the stomach and restore impaired
digestion, bring healthful, refreshing
| sleep, give strength to the weak and make
miserable, complaining people strong,
hungry aud energetic. They are sold by
