ATTEMPTED MURDER ON
BROOKS COUNTY MAN
WouId-Be Assassins Call Mer.
chant From Store and Fire
Upon Him

QUITMAN, Ga, May 25.-An attempt
at assassination was perpetrated several
nights ago, W. C. Parker a well-known
white man being the victim. The attempt
occurred at Parker's. store some miles
in the country and the particulars have
just been received here. Parker was shot
through the leg and remained all night
without medical attention, or any aid ex-
cept what his wife could give, because
she was afraid to venture out to summon
the neighbors.
Parker runs a little store near his home
and about 9 o'clock was called out to
the store by some one pretending to want
some goods. He heard two or three per-
sons talking as he went to the store.
but in the dark could not see them. Open
ing the store he called his supposed Gus
toners TO come in and get what they
wanted. As they did not respond, he
went out finally and as he was locking
the door he was fired upon from behind
the corner OF the store not over Is feet
away.
The ball went entirely through his leg
and dropped into a barrel just behind
him where it was found next morning.
There we're no neighbors in easy reach
and the family were afraid to go out of
the house until next morning, No reason
whatever is known for the attempted

4 MILITIA COMPANIES
ESCORT NEGRO TO TRIAL
Col. Pomeroy Heads Big
Guard Tom Allen Charged
With Criminal Assault


For the first time sinhe the administra-
ton of Gov. Allen d. Gambler, four COM
panies Of the national guard of Georgia,
trial, remain on guard at the court house,
and bring the prisoner back to the coun-
ty Jail of Fulton.
Tom Allen, a negro of Monroe, charged
with criminal assault upon prominent
white woman of Monroe, is the prisoner
whom Governor Brown thinks should be
so well guarded.
The trial of the negro is scheduled to
commence on Friday morning and ac-
cordingly Col E. E. Pomeroy, COM
handing the Fifth infantry, leaves in
charge of the prisoner with three COM
panies from Atlanta at $40 O'Clock
Thursday afternoon. Following the trial.
Colonel Pomeroy hopes TO bring his men
back to Atlanta on Friday evening, but
be will remain until the trial is concluded
should it take three or four days. At
the conclusion of the trial, he will bring
the negro back to Atlanta if ordered to
do so by the judge or the sheriff of the
county.
Three composite companies from Allan
ia, headed by Captains Oscar Palmour.
o. II. Hall. F. M. Cochran and M.
Kemp, Colonel Pomeroy in command,
will be joined in Monroe by fourth
company from Athens, Captain Arnold
commanding.
The three companies from Atlanta
will be made up of picked men from
all the national guard companies in the
city, and will number approximately $50
men and is officers Including the fourth
company from Athens, the total COM
mand under Colonel Pomeroy will num-
Der approximately go men.
At the time of Aliens alleged assault
upon the white woman several weeks
ago, mob quickly gathered and the
negro's life was saved by the prompt
action of Deputy Sheriff Gibson, who
spirited the man out of Monroe, and
hurried him to Atlanta.
Numerous threats of violence against
the negro, who now, denies his guilt,
caused the authorities at Monroe to- be
alarmed, and an appeal to the governor
was made.
While a single company and sometimes
two companies have been ordered to
guard prisoners in Georgia during their
trials, this makes the first instance since
the administration of Governor Gambler
that a whole battalion has been ordered
to prevent a mob reaking vengeance up
on a negro, charged with criminal as
sault. Governor Gambler, where mob vio-
lence was feared, always sent four COM
panies, saying that so many men would
make an attempt to lynch negro prac-
ticaIly Impossible, and accordingly pre-
vent any action by mob.
In addition to his military escort, AL
len will be guarded by Sheriff w. B.
stark. of Walton (donroe) county, and
Deputy Sheriff G. II. Broadnax. of Full
ton county.

Especial Dispatch to The JournaI)

ROME, Ca. May 25.-The grand lodge
of Georgia Odd Fellows began it's final
session this morning and will adjourn
this afternoon about, o'clock, after in
stalling officers and selecting next meet
ing place.
The liveiiest debate of the sessions to
date came up over the question of ap-
propriating $500 to the Atlanta lodge
of the order to reimburse them for the
money spent in entertaining the grand
lodge of the world last September.
The Atlanta delegation and many of
the grand officers favored this appro-
priation, as 5000 had been appropriated
for the entertainment fund and the
amount of $500 remained unexpended. A
large faction opposed the appropriation
and by a substantial majority 1t was
voted to keep the money in the treas
ury.
The grand lodge Is now debating the
establishment of an Odd Fellows home.
those favoring and those opposing the
project being apparently about evenly
divided. The decision will probably not
be reached until this afternoon.
Another question that comes up for
action will be the selection Of the next
meeting place and decision as to wheth-
er or not the custom of rotation of
permanent headquarters established at
Macon or some other city.
Indications are that rotation plan will
be continued and that Gainesville will
capture the convention for 1912

Under the present method authority is delegated

Delegated authority makes laws The people d-
recty have no say in their making. Laws are made
which for example are so mysterious like our

The opinion has been rife that delegated author

PARCELS POST

a GREAT fight is promised at Washington over
the parcels post 1t is reported that Champ
Clark and other Democratic leaders are opposed
to the system on the ground that the parcels post
would be an interference with the rights of the
states and would extend the power and authority
OF the government in an unwarranted manner.
The express company managers will agree with
this view, but it is rather odd considering the fact
that the same argument could be used against the
Government mail service.
The Parcels Post is coming but just how soon
IS the question. Last week a subcommittee of the
House of Representatives Committee on Post
Offices and Post Reads began an inquiry as to the
need Of parcels post The attitude of a major
ity of the members of the committee was not
friendly, and II is evident that the advocates of
the parcels post will not win without a struggle
When the post service in the United States is
compared with that of other countries the advan-
tages the people of other nations enjoy over us are
obvious. If an American wishes to send a package
by mail, he must keep it below four pounds in
weight
The maximum is 81 pounds in Belgium, ll0
pounds in Germany and Austria p pounds in
France, and II pounds in Great Britain, Australia
Italy and even countries like Chile and Cuba
In the United States it costs ST S2 to send eleven
pounds by mail In Germany the charge would
be i5 cents; in Great British, p cents; in Italy
20 cents in Switzerland cents
The opposition to the parcels post system comes
from the express companies and their allied inter
ests. Behind the postal service they have been
building up huge fortunes for private individuals
Their alleged extortions have been so great that
the people have risen in revolt The special inter
ests have overcharged the American public to the
extent of millions
1t is said that some business men would be in
jured by the parcels post, but no reasonable argu-
ment has been advanced to prove this to be true.
At any rate, the welfare of the nation at large is
paramount to the pockets of few individuals

POLITICAL UNREST.

ID EHIND all such movements as the Initiative
- and Referendum, the election of United
States Senators by the people and similar meas
ures usually called progressive is the deep seated
feeling Of unrest among the people and dissatis-
faction with present political conditions.
Defects in the proposed changes and dissatisfac-
ton there may be, and they sufficient to call
q halt in the minds of many who fear that the re-
nedes proposed will not bring the anticipated re-
suits, but whether this is correct or not, the
movement for these reforms, the movement in the
direction of purer democracy, is gaining headway
that is surprising
IL is apparently of no avail TO say that even
under the present method the people could get
what they wanted by voting at the primaries.
The unrest is an Indictment of present political
leaders who cling to the old system. 1t is call
