GUARD
DOUBLEHANG|NG
IN CUMMING
Governor Orders Atlanta Sol
diers to See Negroes Are
Legally Executed.

Upon receipt OF a telephone cali from
the sheriff of Forsyth county, Governor
Brown today instructed Adtutant Gen
sral Obear to provide a military escort
composed OF two companies for the two
negroes to be sent to Cumming this
afternoon for execution for criminal
assault tomorrow
The sheriff informed the governor
that the situation in Forsyth is ex-
tremely dangerous, and there was a
grave probability that the negroes never
would be legally hanged If sent to For
svth unattended by troops.
Adjutant General Obear, immediately
upon the issuing Of the governors ofa-
ciaI proclamation declaring a state of
|nsurrection in Forsyth, designated
Major Catron, of Atlanta, to assemble
the necessary escort from among the
Atlanta troops and proceed to Cum
ming Immediately, with the negroes in
charge.
The detail will leave by way of the
Southern this afternoon at 4 o'clock for
Buford, where It will camp for the
night Early tomorrow morning the
troops will proceed to Cumming on foot.
The negroes will not be taken from I'M
der guard of the troops from the time
they leave Atlanta until they are
hanged.
There will be no lynching in Cum
ming tomorrow" said the governor, as
he signed the order calling out the
troops

VOTE PLAN
. SEEMS DOOMED
Democratic Committee Sees
Too Much Danger Ahead in
Anti-BoIting Scheme.

The state Democratic executive COM
mittee may abandon It's plan to require
all voters for Wilson and Marshall cleo
tors to cast pink ticket in the No
vember presidential election.
1t has been pointed out that to do
this would amount to intimidation and
duTess, and that it might serve to in
validate the entire election. in the event
the point were raised in legal protest
The state committee frankly says
that its idea is to catch 'bolters." in
order that they may be barred from fu-
ture Democratic primaries Lawyers
hold that this amounts to a threat.
however, and plainly conflicts with both
the state and Federal statutes.
Moreover, there seems to be g. grow
ing resentment throughout the state
against that which is conceived to be
an attempt upon the part OF the com
mittee to poke it's nose too far into the
ballot on November-that even If a
man did wish to vote for somebody
other than Wilson and Marshall cleo
tors, he should be permitted to do so
without necessarily putting the state
committee on notice in the matter.
The idea of the pink ticket was
conceived, of course, in genuine desire
to protect the Democratic party, but the
impression mas grown into practically a
conviction in many minds that the pres
idential election is not precisely the fit
and proper place for that protection to
be sought, and particularly through a
scheme that might endanger the entire
electoral vote of the state.

A Georgia Cracker
Tells Of Speaking
CRISP and Shaw debate. J

On last Thursday, July 3Otn,
one might have seen leaving the
city Of, carriages, buggies, two
horse wagons and automobiles,
all loaded to their full capacity,
with handsomely selected ladies,
bright, cheerful children and
smiling men. We could not re-
sist the desire to fall in line. At
ter driving out on the Eufaula
road (which by the way is being
rapidly converted into one of the
magnificent highways in the
southern part Of the state) be-
ing the Eufaula, Americas, Lump
kin and Richmond automobile
highway.
About eight miles from town,
the front line of vehicles led off
to the right, headed to the farm
of Mr.. E. L. Carter, in one
of the most beautiful groves to
be found in the state covered
with stately oaks, literally COW
ering the ten-acre grove
was animals, vehicles and several
hundred people.
On the west side there were
great volumes Of smoke vending
it's way upward to the clear blue
sky. On closer inspection you
discovered a pit covered with
Georgia porkers, kid, lamb and
beef. A few feet from this was
Judge Surles, with two large
wash pots. making his noted
hash. or stew, which is equal in
flavor to Sheriff Callaway's no.
ted Brunswick stew.
Just north of this, between two
monarchs of the forest, with their
huge branches tapping across a
large platform gave the appear
ance that they were shaking
hands, and their taller branches
were swaying to the breeze SEEM
ed to keep time with the music
by which the beautiful young Ia
dies and and handsome young
men Of Countyline, tripping the
fantastic steps for quite a while.
The dinner Of barbecued meats,
fried chicken, cakes and pies Of
every known hue and descrip-
ton, was spread on tables sever
al hundred feet long. tits need
less to state what happened next.
When Jack Slaton is elected
governor | want him to attend
one of these cues and show him
how far behind the times he is
with his Cold Springs Cue Club
as it is no comparison.
But before dinner the crowd
was entertained by two Of our
candidates for congress Hons.
Chas. Crisp and Emmett Shaw.
To a man on the fence or up a
tree, as I was, it was pretty hard
to tell which had the best of it.
| noticed one thing, however; it
was very plain that Crisp got the
cheering from the merchants,
lawyers, etc., while the horny
and calloused-handed sons of toll
made the welkin ring for Shaw.
The majority Of the>crowd were
farmers, and it appeared that
Shaw had the best of the crowd.
We tender our sincere thanks
to Mr.. Carter and others for the
privilege of having spent de-
lightful day.

The Political situation.

stages is the fact that hundreds
of thousands of Republicans, who
never before voted the Demo-
cratic ticket, have voluntarily
written Governor Wilson and
Governor Marshall that they in
tend this year to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket.
Some days ago, when IN In
dianapoIis, Governor Marshall
told me that since the convention
he has been deluged with letters
Of congratulation and voluntary
pledges of support, and that more
than twenty-five per cent of his
correspondents stated that they
were Republicans, but they
thought the time had come for
a change in the National admin
istration, and that they intended
to support the ticket nominated
at Baltimore.
The special newspaper articles
published, containing a few ex-
tracts from letters written to
Governor Wilson at Sea Grit,
show that the views of the cor
respondents of the candidate for
President duplicate those OF the
candidate for Vice-President, and
that a very large proportion
of letters offering support are
from Republicans.
The correspondence that come
to Chairman McCombs and the
Democratic headquarters in New
York is of the same tenor and 1t
comes from all parts of the coun-
try, showing that the Democratic
candidates appeal both to the
popular imagination and to the
popular confidence; and that.
while the Democratic ticket, as
never before in the life OF the
younger men Of the party, and
the Independent vote is almost
for Wilson and Marshall, there
is q break in the Republican vote,
heretofore unknown in the his
tory of that party. In 1896 there
was a bolt in the Republican par
ty of the silver republicans, but
that bolt did not appreciably eff
feet any state Of the Mississippi
river and as the result showed
was not large enough to change
the result in any state west OF the
Mississippi, with few exceptions.
This year the Republican party
is split and Republicans will
divide between Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Roosevelt, that is, those who in
tend to vote for Wilson and Mar
shall; and there are many, who,
while preferring not openly to
join the Democratic organization,
will furnish vote which, added
to the Democratic vote of 1908,
will put the Democratic candidate
in the White House.
AS one of many evidences of
the Republican trend for Wilson
and Marshall, the following edi-
torial from the New York Press,
giving the result of a poll among
Republicans, is Illuminating:
REPUBLICANS FOR WILSON. F"
Last week the editor of the
New York Press sent private
letters to Republican voters, Sc
lected at random from readers on
its mail subscription lists and not
living in New York City or other
large cities. The main part of
the letter was:
For which of the following
do you intend to vote: Taft, Will
son, Roosevelt?
Are you in favor of the plan
proposed by the former Presi-
dent of breaking up the present
Republican party and forming a
new one? For whom did you
vote in 1908?
''Of the 1000 first replying
virtually all voted for Mr.. Taft
four years ago. Of the LOCO

in the not-voting class said they
might vote for Mr.. Taft or Mr..
Wilson if it became necessary, in
their judgment. to do this to pre-
vent the Colonel from breaking
up their party. Some of these
recording themselves for Mr..
Taft lamented his nomination,
but would vote for him to pre-
vent the Colonel from breaking
up their party.

The biggest thing in the birthday
celebration yesterday was an enor-
nous cake, with 112 pink candles on
the top and big one in the center
for the growing year. The cake was
baked by the cook at the home and
ii took something like fifty eggs and
eight pounds of sugar to make foun-
dation enough for the candles. Last
year and the one previous Aunt Ma
hala made the cake herself, but this
year it was thought better to allow
the cook the honor.
This wondrous pastry creation was
