STRIKERS STONE
NEGRO FIREMAN
FREIGHT TRAIN ATTACKED BY
MOB IN GEORGIA
First Violence Since Strike Began
Occurs at Lithonia-State or
Federal Intervention
Expected Today

ATLANTA, Ga, May 2S.-The first
violence to railroad property in the
Georgia railroad firemens strike oc-
CURED tonight.
A moving freight train at Lithonia,
Ga, was attacked and a negro fireman,
who was apparently the cause of the
trouble, was rushed to Atlanta on an
engine to save him from a mob.
The train was stoned and then board
ed by men who had set brakes and
broken it into three sections, blocking
the main line and the progress of the
mails Railroad officers declared to-
night that the incident was the work of
strike sympahtizers.
An engine left for Lithonia to bring a
train load of perishable provisions into
Atlanta. Assurances have been given
that in the interest of local shippers
whose valuable cargoes were tied up
no demonstration would be made
against hauling these cars to Atlanta.
When the engine reached Lithonia,
however, it's negro fireman was seen by
about 200 persons gathered about the
station, and just as the train was get
ting under way a stone hit Engineer
Downing.
Officers Do Not Interfere
According to the railroads statement
no attempt was made by local authori-
ties to intervene, even when the train
was broken up. They telephoned to
the state authorities that the train
was stalled, but that there had been no
violence
State or federal Intervention is eX-
pected, as the situation is believed to
be fraught with danger. 1t is admitted
that either federal or state authorities
can run the trains and preserve order
but if the railroad insists on its rights
to hire negro firemen, it is feared that
racial enmity and reprisals on negroes
will be stirred up. Chairman Knapp of
the interstate commerce commission
will be here tomorrow.
The race issue has developed in what
constitutes its two strongest holds on
the southern people The first was the
unanimity shown by an entire com
munity in resenting the using of ne
groes in a capacity to which they OBJ
jected. The other sentiment was the
determination of the employers to stand
Loyalty by negroes who have rendered
them a long and faithful service.
Tonight there was talk of holding
mass meetings at several places to
voice Indignation at the action of the
railroad today in putting negroes on

Editorial.
THE TAxPAYES MEETING

The truth about the position of
the Assessor and the County Com
missioners, technically speaking, is
that they have a good deal of arbi-
trary power if they care to exer-
else it. If what they do is within
gun-shot of fairness they can en-
force it.
This being the case, the Com
missioners showed generosity and
true fairness when they called a
meeting of the taxpayers of Jack
son County to discuss methods for
the Assessor and Commissioners
to get at proper valuations of real
estate. 1t is unfortunate that the
efforts of the meeting were con-
fined to discussion of one such
method to exclusion of others. 1t
is our firm belief that the Commis-
slonerS did not intend to so narrow
the discussion and we are convinced
that the formal action finally taken
was more truly an expression OF
the sentiment of the meeting than
the quite narrowly limited discus
sion which preceded it. The
Taxpayers formally left it to the
Commissioners to employ any fail
means within their power in deter
mining values for the purposes Of
equalizing the assessment. This
leaves them a free hand and if the
assessment should be manifestly
unfair in any particular they are
responsible. They can't blame i,
on the system. On the other hand
if the assessment shall be eminent
ly fair and just no dis G runtled tax
dodger has the opportunity to take
credit from the painstaking care of
the Commissioners and the Assess
or. The credit is clearly theirs for
the good work that may be done.

The following petition was read

Be it resolved therefore that we,
the undersigned, hereby petition
the members of the City Council

ordinance requiring the closing of

Be it resolved therefore that we

A Graceful Tribute to Poe.

The University of Virginia arranged
to celebrate the centenary of the birth
of Edgar Allan Poe on Jan. 10 in a
manner to do justice to the memory
of one of the truest poets America
has produced. Distinguished repre-
sentatives of literature in the old
world were invited to participate in
order to make the occasion something
more than a local tribute, for Poe was
once a student at the university.
The reading circle that has been
delighted by the genius Of Poe spreads
over two hemispheres. 1t is most un-
fortunate that his weaknesses dimmed
for half a century the imperishable
beauty of the writings left at the
tragic close of his short and stormy
life. Equally with the statesman and
the soldier, the poet, it would seem,
is worthy of commemoration and re-
gard because of the influence Of his
works upon the minds of men. The
host of admirers OF Poe will be re-
joiced to know that at last 1t is pro-
posed to erect fitting memorial to
their hero Of song.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

he was shifty; he was not always re
gardful of the truth, and he would
sacrifice principle for self. The moral
aspect did not appeal to Douglas as it
did to Lincoln.
At the beginning of the great de-
bate in 1853 Lincoln feelingly referred
to the fact that his own life had been
a failure while that Of Douglas had
been a conspicuous success. In other
words, up to this time the man who
loved self more than principle had
won, while the man who loved prin-
ciple more than self had lost.
How was it in the end? Lincoln
was the universally acknowledged sue
cess, while Douglas was the failure

but in the long run the truth seeker

These things do not happen by acct

himself to be. Fifty years of hard
ship, poverty, sorrow, failure and neg
