ATLANTA, GA, SEPTEMBER 20, 1910.


'This country is plunging hell-ward," says Mr..
Thomas E. Watson. Mr.. Watson should under
stand that it does particular good to cuss the
umpire.
When such a man as Judge John Maddox
states In one of his charges to Grand Jury
of Floyd County that there were committed
more murders in that county last year than
in all of England, don't you think that the
daily paper printed in Rome might be less
hippant?
When the official statistics prove that there
is more UNPUBLISHED lawlessness in the State of
Georgia than there is in any other civilized
community on the face of Gods earth, don't
you think that the State papers should CO.
operate with Mr.. Watson in his efforts to put
it down and to bring about better state of
things?
Don't you think they might at least be neu-
trail when he is battling with Hydra-headed
monster! I
Don't you think it rather hard that while
he is consecrating unselfshly the last years of
his life to the service of his country that these
papers should be continually aiming at him
their shafts of ridicule?

I have known William Walden ever since

Lucindy'S Jim Used the WhiSkey,
His Denial Notwithstanding

WHEN old Jim Smith rushed into print to
defend his civic virtue, that enormous human
hog presented an extremely comical spectacle.
His indignant denial of the comparatively
trivial offence of using whiskey in the present
campaign indicates that the old monster is
losing his mind.
He was a thief when he worked that bogus
mail racket on the Government some years
ago, and he was perjurer when he returned
an incorporated town as a farm worth $500
per acre. He has been vehemently suspected
of having men killed to get them out of his
way, and the barbarity with which he has
handled convicts has been a disgrace to this
State
That man so saturated with crime should
take the trouble to deny that he ordered 1900
pints of whiskey to Conner, Ca, to be used in
the interests of Howard in the primary of
August %, indicates desire on his part to
have the public forget the darker crimes laid
at his door,
All the same, he ordered by telegraph the
1900 pints of whiskey to Conner. He also or
dered 400 pints of cheap whiskey for another
place in the Eighth.
COL James NJ. Smith, of Oglethorpe, had
better be precious careful how he orders any
more whiskey in the interests of Bill Howard.
The wicked men who think they can violate
every law and defy public opinion may hear
it thunder before very long-and the light
ming may strike.
Comparison of Some Election Methods

DID |. G. RAWN SHOOT SELF
President Monon Railway Killed In
His Home.

Chicago, In.-Suicide or murder?
Which shall be the last word writ
ten in the story Of the tragic ending
that came to the life of Ira G.. RaWn,
president of the Monoa railway, early
Wednesday morning in his summer
home at Winnetka? That he fell a
victim to the revolver Of a house
breaker whom he had surprised fore
ing the side door of his residence at
an early hour is the positive declara-
ton of his family and his friends.
Strength is given this view of the
tragedy by the fact that Winnetka has
for weeks been infested with daring
burglars.
The police are working on a theory
that Mr.. Rawn killed himself. As a
basis for their suicide theory, the po-
lice advance the following
They point to the fact that Mr..
Rawn was operating vice-prosident Of
the Illirois Central railroad at the
time fraudulent car repair contracts
we're put through, and that recently
he had been drawn into the Illinois
Central graft INVESTIGATION as a chief
witness. They say that the action Of
Mr.. Rawn's relatives in refusing to
aid the Chicago detective department
to search for the alleged murderer
Is suspicious.
