have to obey the city ordinances or
seek some other occupation. l be-
lieve that the administra ton should
be more liberal than oppressive, but
be firm in all cases. Give the people
to understand that what we say We
mean and that we intend to live up
to our word. In all these cases be
guided by your business intellect and
not by your prejudices.
The redlight district is, l believe in
as good shape as such a district can
be, but you should see that it is kept

Fire Department.
Our fire department is up to date

With the completion of Fire Station
No. 1 and the extension of the alarm
system, already well under way. we
will be in a better position than most
cities of our size to cope with the de-

Street Lights.
AS we are not in a position to fur
nish our own lights, there is not Very
much at present that can be said of
this department We should, neverthe-
less, keep a good check on our lights,
have them placed where they will do
the most good, and see that they are
in first-class condition, and we should
not pay for them when they are other
wise.
Water.
Perhaps the most important branch
of the citys business is the water de-
partment, whose officials are charged
with the collection and disbursement
of revenue to a large amount, and the
employment of much labor, and the
purchase of material of great value.
The special committee of this depart
ment, should, in my opinion, be act
ually managing committee, studying
the details of the water business and
acquainting themselves with the flu
ture, as well as the present plans. of
the water officials. In the laying out
of new mains the prospective growth
of the city should be considered and,
whenever practicable, mains laid OF
sufficient size to provide for future

In New York Court one day last
week Ignazio de Leonardo and ,Pietro
Pampinellia were convicted Of kid

methods of extortion. De Leonardo
was first found guilty and at once
offered to turn States evidence. At
the moment he took the >oland Pam

pies and brought them down slowly
until they met on the throat. The
effect on Leonardo was startling. The
witness turned deathly pale. Then he

"Why2" demanded Judge O'Sulli-
van.
With an effort Leonardo replied:
"Pampinellia has just given me the
sign of death. 1t is the Black Hand.
will not testify"
The witness was removed from the
room and given chance to recover
himself. Later he was returned to
the stand only to collapse when his
eyes met those of his partner in
crime. He positively refused to give
evidence.
Pampinellia was convicted, as De
Leonardo had been. on the testimony
of Salvador Siatta, who was stolen
from his home last winter and held
a prisoner while BLACK Hand" let
ters demanded from his father, a
prosperous barber a ransom OF $1O,-

Unhappy Domestic Relations are Said
To have Been the Cause of the
Awful Crime.
A special to The Journal from Jas
per, Fla. says w. w. Barton, a car
penter, shot and almost instantly
killed his wife, three children and
himself at his home, there on last
Thursday night. One victim, a child
five year of age, survived long

The shots were heard about ten
O'Clock that night, but no attention
was paid to the matter until early
next morning when neightbors dis
covered Barton's body lying on the
front porch and that of his wife on
the back porch.
The children were found in a bed
room, the pistol having been held
closed to the mouth in each instance
and the faces were powder marked.
Unhappy domestic relations are be-
lieved to have been responsible for
the crime.
Barton left home Tuesday and did
not return until late "Wednesday eve

crime and included in his confession
a list OF other assaults and murders

that he attempted an assault on
MISS Lawrence, near Atlanta, Aug.

for which crime another negro was
sentenced to 40 years imprison-
ment; that he emptied shotgun
through an open door of the res
idence of j. w. Bryant, a farmer
living several miles north of the
city on the night of Nov. II last,
seriously wounding Mr. Bryant and
his sister; he confessed to attempted
assault on two white women in the
suburbs of Atlanta last fall, and he
concluded his admissions by tell
ing of the murder of man whom
he called Jackson in Texas, several
years ago.
So convinced were the attorneys
of Johnson's innocence that they
brought the case before the State
prison commission as late as Tues
day of this week, asking for com
mutation of sentence to life impris-
onment. This was refused and Gov
Terrell also declined to take action

WOMEN In TERROR.
Plead Against Release of Murderer
Who Killed Their Protector.

The people of Coleman county,
Tex, have been appealed to in pa
thetic earnestness by Mrs. Beulah
Hanks, who has asked them to re-
frain from signing a petition for the
pardon of Sam Cole, who murdered
her father and threatened to murder
her mother and sister.
If Cole is released she said he
would carry out his threat and add
two more murders to his list. Her
mother and sister have not only been
broken hearted, because of the MUIR
der of the husband and father, but
they are in mortal terror of the man
who took his life. They feel sure
that the moment he is released from
prison their days are numbered.
Sympathy for the prisoners moth
er has aroused the people. Mrs.
Hanks said she. too, pi:ied the old
lady. but she has warned the people
against causing the unhappy mother
any more sorrow by releasing her
son to commit more crime.

HUNG At LAST,
The Closing Chapter of a Noted
Case In Georgia.

Convicted of Hurier. Escaped from
Jail, Surrendered I'm California,
and Finally Hung.
A dispatch from Cardale, Ca, says
after having made two sensational
escapes and finally surrendering to
authorities in California, George w.
Bundrick was hanged in the Jail yard
there at noon Friday for the murder
of John Shredder.
This was the first execution to
take place in the new county of Crisp
and perhaps in any of the new coun-
ties created sat the last session of
the legislature. The trap was sprung
by Sheriff George w. Sheppard, for
mer sheriff of Dooly county in which
Office he officiated at several execu-
tions. There was not a hitch.
,Bundrick marched coolly to the
gallows and met his fate stoically.
He has been resigned to his fate for
some time, reading his Bible and con-
versing cheerfully with his death
watch. He had made a desperate eff
fort to secure executive clemency.
In many ways 1t has been one of
tle IlOSl TeI1dTkdDle cases In the MS
tory of the state. Several years ago
in Dooly county feud grew up be-
tween the Bundricks and John Schro-
der.
George Bundrick and his brother
met Schroeder in the public highway
Schroeder and his wife were In bug
gy, and the Bundricks stepped from
concealment and shot Schroeder to
death and seriously wounded his
wife.
Walter Bundrick was sent up for
life. George Bundrick escaped and
after several months was captured
On trial he was convicted and senten-
ced to hang. Then came long legal
fight, which terminated in the SUI
preme court affirming the conviction
Then followed the fight before the
prison commission to save Bundrick'
life. On the day prior to that on
which he was to die on the gallows,
the governor granted a respite. and
that night Bundrick escaped from
Jail. For weeks nothing was heard
of him. Then came news of his sur
vender in California
