Herbert Clay. the newly elected go
licitor general of the Blue Ridge cir
cult, discussing the execution of two
negroes in Cumming yesterday, talked
today most interestingly on affairs in
Forsyth county. political as well as
otherwise.
1T Is difficult for a person living
away from Forsyth county to under
stand the feelings of the people there,
and for that reason they should not be
censured too harshly ror tearing down
the big fence which had been erected
to prevent the execution of the crimi-
nails in any way other than as the law
provides said Mr.. CLAY.
1.-THE politics of Forsyth may be more
or less mixed, but upon the question
attaching to the execution of these two
negroes the people are united. 1t may
be that they would not have restrained
themselves had the military not been
sent along with the criminals. AS to
that / am not prepared TO say. | am
glad the execution was carried out le-
gally; it would have been a deploragle
thing to have had a lynchiug in Cum
ming yesterday. =.
The feeling against the negroes eX-
ecuted may be measured and estimated

SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B NEVIN.

in way when | say that Forsyth
county, since the crimes that precipi-
tated the present situation were COM
mitted, has been absolutely freed of
negroes entirely | honestly believe
that the two negroes executed in For
syth yesterday We're the only two ne
gToes in the county at the time!
80 shocking and so nhuman were
the crimes for which the negroes died
that a big wave of indignation swept
over the county, utterly wiping out the
negro section of It's population. I do
not mean that negroes were killed but
l do mean they were forced to leave
the county. and in some parts of the
same a number Of negro houses and
churches were burned.
Among the wholesale withdrawal of
the negroes from Forsyth county were
many, of course, who were law abiding
and relatively inoffensive. But For
syth county was no place for them
they were, and are, better off else
where
Il do not attempt to moralize par
ticularly with respect to the situation
now existing in Forsyth / think it
must be something like that which ex-
listed throughout the South right after
reconstruction times--a negro is ne
gro in Forsyth right now. and the peo-
pie up there are unable to differentiate
between them particularly.
The greater part of the negroes de-
parting from Forsyth merely have
gone into adjoining counties, and, by
their old homes5 but do not think that
will DE soon. And do not think For
syth county will be safe for them for
q good many days to come.
81 think the governor has won the
respect Of the people of Forsyth in
seeing to it that the negroes got a fair
trial and a legal eXecution-eVen
though to guarantee that to them he
had to protect the people of Forsyth
against themselves.
The sheriff and county officials may
have dreaded the possible effect upon
themselves politically by insisting that
the law be carried out, but nothing of
disaster will come to them, l am sure,
because they did their duty under their
Oaths."
The Georgia friends of Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt-and he has very many
warm friends and admirers in this state
are interested in the suit for libel he
has brought against a Michigan news
paper that attacked him viciously not
long ago for alleged intemperance ir
language and liquor
OF course, Colonel Roosevelt's idea
is merely to establish record in refu-
tation of the ancient charge, never sus-
tanned, that the former president hab-
itually overindulged himself in strong
drink. For the charge of intemperance
in language he cares nothing whatever
perhaps.
Ii is possible that a number Of peo-
pile, never SO situated that they might
intelllgently study Colonel Roosevelt al
close range, believe the stories set ahoat
from time to time with respect to his
intcmperance. As a matter Of fact
there never was the slightest founda-
! ton for the charges. Colonel Roose.

And it is not that this following is

1t merely is that the Watson following
believes implicitly in Mr. Watson, and
that it goes his way because it believes
his way is the right way,
While it is true. however. that Mr..
Watson's support of Mr.. Roosevelt will
win many votes to the Rough Rider. it
is equally true that it will spur Demo-

There are many voters in this state

Mr.. Watson is at once both the most
hated and the most loved man in Geor-
gia, in certain quarters.

considerable ginger to the campaign,

Immediately increased to meet the de-
mands of the hospital. This will mean
the realization of a long needed i'm
provement in the efficiency of the insti-

having proved a serious problem for a
long time.
Plans are expected to be selected with
in the next few days, after which the
matter will be taken up with the city
council with the view Of procuring an
additional appropriation before actual
work of building begins. only a small
appropriation is now available.
The Grady nurses have long sought a
new home and are Enthusiastic over the
preparations started for the new struc-
ture. The present building is an old.
