ATLANTA MAN IS HELD ON
A VERY SERIOUS CHARGE
J. e. WEBSTER ARRESTED ON
CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO
ASSAULT YOUNG GIRL.

Atlanta, Aug. PIG. E. Wester OF
$50 Lee street, a well known business
man of this city, was arrested in his
office in one of the downtown sky
csrapers today On the charge of at
tempting to assault a little 14-year-
old girl who entered his office to
offer chewing gum for sale.
The affair caused quite stir, as the
child is well known in business cir
cles; she helps support a widowed
mother, and is familiar figure
According to the little girls story,
Wester seized her when she entered
his office, and tore her clothing be-
fore she could scream and break
away. Just as he was sitting her
screams, the girl says, some one
knocked on the door of the office, and
the interruption gave her chance
to run into another rom. She imme-
diately telephoned the police, and
Westers arrests follows.
Wester denies the charges. He will
be arraigned for disorderly. conduct
in the police court and afterward in
all probability be bound over to the
higher court on the more serious
charge. Wester is a successful insur-
ance man, and well connected

LUMBERNEN COMPLAIN OVER
CHANGE BY The CLYDE line
THEY ARE NOTIFIED THAT NO
MORE SHIPMENTS WILL BE
SENT ORDER OF NOTIFY.

The attention of the Board of Trade
has been called to a matter which To-
cal lumbermen claim is a discrimina-
ton and which the board has been
asked to investigate.
Recently notices were sent to all
the local lumbermen to the effect that
hereafter no more shipments of lum-
Der would be accepted by the line to
be forwarded order of notify No
mention was made of cotton, or phos-
phate or the like, but only lumber.
Local dealers are seriously object
ing to this rule and claim that it is
discrimination against them and
also against the port, as it is not be-
lieved that steamship lines have such
rules in effect at other ports.
Secretary Wetherly of the Board of
Trade will at once take up the mat
ter and it will be thoroughly investi-
gated.

HE CLAIMS IRREGULARITIES IN
BROOKS, CHARLTON AND
ECHOLS,
CHARLTON GRANTS REQUEST
Other Counties Have Not Yet Been
Heard From, But Petition For the
Recount May Have Been Filed Too
Late.

Judge T. A. Parker, defeated can
recount in Echols, Brooks and Charl-
ton counties, claiming irregularities in
the three counties. In announcing
that recount has been asked the
Waycross Herald says:
''On Saturday afternoon Judge T. A.
Parker made a formal request for a
recount Of the votes in Brooks, Echols
and Charlton counties.
The request as made of the execu-
tive committees in each county and
Charlton has been heard from and the
recount here will be made Thur day.
On the face of the returns Charlton
countJ gave Walker majority of A..
1t is understood that there were GER
tain irregularities, however, and that
a ecount may show a reversal
Brooks county, according to the re.
turns, gave majority of 16 for Walk
er and Judge Parker's friends believe
a recount will reverse that county
also.
In .Echols Walker is credited with
a majority of 6S, but it is thought a
recount will show different there, as
some irregularities are claimed there.
Should the recount reverse the le-
turns in each of these counties it
would give Judge Parker a majority
in the convention.
The request for recount was
made by Judge Parker upon the in
sistence of his friends who believe
he is entitled to the vote of these
counties"
Discussing the same subject, the
Valdosta Times contains this article:
News reached Valdosta late Sat
urday evening that Hon. John w.
Bennett had wired from Waycross
to Quitman asking that there be a
recount in Brooks county on con-
gresham. Evidently the intention
was that if a recount could be had
in Brooks and two small counties, thus
affecting eight votes, perhaps con-
test might be entered.
'The recount will be denied, Off
the rules of the state provide that
notice should be given on the day
after the primary or as soon as the
vote is canvassed. This has rot been
done
THE net majority of 1861 in the
congressional district don't seem to
have any weight with some of the
Parker managers. If they could
make it appear that there were few
little discrepancies in two or three
counties that gave small majorities
for Mr. Walker these leaders would
be glad. However, the entire 'fgur-
ing has fallen through and on Satur-
day Mr.. Walker will receive the con-
vention nomination in Brunswick"

MYSTERIOUS ORGANIZATION
SPREADING MEMBERSHIP

Atlanta, Aug. 27.-The mysterious
and Out Society For the Prevention
of Cruelty to Human Beings, is ac-
lively spreading its religious propa-
ganda in tbs community, which it
terms the Jerusalem OF the South.
The society, whose head is shrouded
in a thus far nameless obscurity, pro-
poses to prevent crime; to put a stop
to murder; to abolish capital punish
ment; to make everybody read the
Bible; to eliminate the Lords Supper
and other "carnal ordinances from
Christian worship; to make the lion
lie down with the lamb. and the lamb
not be inside; in short to usher in
the golden age sung of by poets, the
millennium prorhecied by seer.s
In the meantime only one obstacle
stands in the way of bringing about
these miracles, and that is the fact
that suitable hall cannot be secured
for holding the meetings. It is not
stated whether the difficulty arises
from a lack of funds to rent any hall,
Or whether there is no hall in Atlanta
at any price sufficiently dignified to
witness the public birth of such
glorious era.
In the meantime[ until new hall
can be built, or until the Down and
Out Society can raise funds to rent
one already existing, the world will
have to rock on in its present sinful
and unregenerate state.

Large Delegations.

The congressional convention to be

as congressman of the Eleventh dis
trict, promises to be one of the largest
conventions ever held in the distrIctn
and many delegates will be present
In the past but little interest has
been manifested in these conventions
owing to the fact that there was no OPP
position for the honor, but this year,
as the result of an interesting con-
test, considerable interest attaches to
the convention.
While all of the counties except
three, Lowndes, Brooks and Ware,
will have only two votes, the others
having four, still many of the Walker
counties are naming ten o. Twelve
delegates and most OF them III be
present at the convention. The Park
er counties will also send two dele
gates, while there will be others pres
ent, and it is expected that in all
quite a large number of people will
be in the city. Brooks county has
named a total of "a delegates, while
Lowndes, the home of Mr. Walker,
has named 20. Following is a list

Five Bridges Burned.

Juarez, Mex, Aug. 27.-Just rs traf-

Northwestern railway between the
city of Chihuahua and the border,
rebels today burned five railway
bridges several miles southwest of
Juarez. Presence of rebels in this vi

has been sent from Juarez to repair
the track, and troops have been or
dered to the scene from Pearson.
A train bearing 500 passengers,
mostly Americans going to work in
the numbering and mining sections,
returned here on hearing of thU de-
