GREAT EXCITEMENT REIGNS

Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 4.-The fight be-
tween the swell negroes OF Atlanta
and the black hoi polloi for the privi-
:ege of entertaining President-elect
Taft when he comes to Atlanta jan
iary Is has terminated in the victory
of the aristocrats.
This was decided upon at a meeting
of the Atlanta Chamber OF Commerce.
It is understood that the arbiters
looked upon the 'plebians'' headed by
H. l.. johnson. as buffers I'm and
thought Bishop Gains and his "aristo-
Gratis" should have the right OF way.
But out of this fight another is brew
ing which may result in the elimina-
ton of Mr.. Taft's speech to the ne
groes while in Atlanta. A third party
has been formed and it will ask the
Chamber Of Commerce that both Gains
and Johnson be eliminated from the
program, and that some other place
for the meeting be selected than the
big Bethel church or tabernacle.
1t is stated that il the Chamber OF
Commerce is unable to do these things
that the third party will lay the matter
before Mr.. Taft and ask him to cut out
his speech.

STRENGTH. OF AN EAGLE.

Wonderful Power In the Birds Claws
and Logs.
While cannot give any positive
proof Of how much a bald eagle can
carry, I should suppose, declares .
writer in Forest and Stream, that he
could carry at least as much In pro-
portion to his weight as a hawk or q
horned owl. 1 have the recorded
weight OF a male bald eagle weighing
nine and a quarter pounds and fe-
male weighing twelve pounds.
A horned owl will weigh from four
to i've pounds, and have several
house cat. One cat was very large,
and the owner told me he could hear
the cat cry as he was being carried
OF, Now, any one who will weigh q
large house cat will find 1t to weigh
at least ten pounds.
I have seen a goshawk carry or a
hen fully twice its own weight, and I
have taken from Z marsh hawk q very
large chicken which would weigh
more than twice what the hawk would.
The marsh hawk is one Of our weak
est hawks, but he had carried this
chicken over quarter Of 4 mile Ny
belief is that II hawk or horned owl
can carry more than twice its weight
land know positively that they CAM
then an eagle could, il occasion re-
Quired, do rs much in proportion to
his weight, which would be to carry
eighteen or twenty pounds
Once when an eagle, shot through
the body with rife ball, lay ON his
back / up ended long road skid and
dropped it on him. Before 1t reached
him he stretched up and caught Il in
his claws and held 1t the length Of
his legs above him I walked up on
the skid and stood above him, and be
easily held me and the skid, which
should judge would weigh more than
twenty pounds. I took pains to be
weighed the same day and weighed
119 pounds. Put stick in the claw Of
q wounded eagle and let him grasp q
small tree with the other, and Z man

J. M. BLAKE A SUICIDE.
Ends His Own Life with q Pistol
Saturday Afternoon.

Our entire community was
plunged into the deepest sorrow
when il was learned that John
M. Blake, manager for the
Charlton Hardware Co., had put
q bullet thu ough his brain at his
home In the east part of town
between 1 and 2 O'Clock Satur.
day afternoon.
He had gone from the store to
dinner, and when he failed to
retern in the time desired, Mrs.
Blake, who was at the store,
telephoned her husband, but re.
ceived no response, and got DIR.
B. Hughes to go to the house to
make investigation. When DR..
Hughes got there he found Mr..
Blake lying dead on the floor in
the north room. His body was
east and west and his head
about two feet from the dresser.
A pistol was noticed by DIR.
Hughes about a foot from the
deoessed's right hand and was
under his right foot, the leg to
which was slightly drawn up off
the floor. His head was lying in
pool of co.ak ulated blood an d
his body was cold, showing he
had been dead some little time.
Henry Jackson, a colored man
who worked for Mr.. Blake, was
fret sent to the house to tell Mr..
Blake to come to the store as he
was needed to quote prices on
some articles that were not
marked, and he sent back word
that he would come down sdirect-
ly. He failed to come, ho wever,
and the darkey was sent back to
the house again where he found
Mr.. Blake standing in front of
