ENGINEERS
 GO ON STRIKE They Join Firemen on
 Georgia Road. SITUATION NOW SERIOUS Many Acts of Violence and Intimidation Reported. state and Federal Authorities Are Taking Extraordinary Precau- tions--GeneraI sanager of
 Rosd Appeals.

Atlanta Ga, May 2z-The race issue late tonight suddenly gave an ex- tremely ugly aspect to the strike of less than hundred white nremen on the Georgia Railroad. who went out in an attempt to force the railroad to discharge it's negro firemen.
 Blood flowed at Athens and a small mob gathered at Augusta, the former disturbance being over white fire- man and the latter over a negro.
 The engineers were called out shortly after midnight, when word was received here that trains had been stoned at Lithonia and at Conyers, Ga, today and that the engineers had been struck by rocks Intended for the hEemen. The order calling out the engineers was temporary and was is sued by Assistant Grand Chief Burgess of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers, who is in Atlanta. He inti- mated that If adequate protection should be afforded for the engineers, the order for them not to take out their trains might be revoked. Mean while passenger train No. for Au- gusta, with nearly every coach full, stood in the train shed here with it's time for pulling out past due. and no engineer to be found to handle the throttle.
 Governor in Conference.
 Governor smith was in conference about midnight with Sheriff Clark at Augusta, who assured the Governor that the negro who had been threat ened there was safe and that things were quiet for the night.
 The Governor appreciates the gray ity of the situation and believes that careful handling is necessary to avoid stirring up race Issues.
 From reports received here tonight there Is some ground for the hope that the unusual number of attacks made Dn trainmen today were due princi- pally to the Saturday half-holiday. and that the beginning of the new week will see quiet restored.

with the impost measure there will be nothing or
upon which tho Treasury may rely by
that I that the bill Will bring in no more

an objection to increase Of taxation on the com

Money rates are unwarrantably low and the
money market is susceptible Of sudden changes
As a matter Of fact, there is very little surplus
money here. All important banks are well loaned
