Il am led to believe that they were
rejected partly becau-e the authori.
ties at the City. OF Mexico had been
grossly misinformed and misled upon
two points. They did not realize the
spirit Of the American people in this
matter, their earnest friendliness and
sober determination that some just
solution be found for the Mexican diff
ficulties and they did not believe the
present administration spoke through
Mr.. Lind for the people of the United
States. The effect of this unfortunate
Misunderstanding on their part is to
leave them singularly isolated and
without friends who can effectually
aid them. So long as the misunder-
standing continues we can only await
the time Of their awakening to the re-
alization Of the actual facts. We can
not thrust our good Offices upon them.

Z Of the sixty American gentlemen in
frosted wigs and silk stockings who
sat in what is now Independence Hall
in Philadelphia and composed the Con-
tinental Congress, there was none
more aristocratic by birth, more DEM
ocratic by nature, than Thomas JEFF
ferson. Perhaps that was one rea-
son they selected him to pen the De-
claration of Independence, adopted on
July 4, 1776, which remains today
Americas most sacred historical do
cument. He was sufficiently modest,
however, to insist that in writing the
Declaration he simply put down the
ideas prevalent at the time.
This Continental Congress was the
first body of men at that time sitting
in any of the parliaments of the world.
These statesmen had the courage to
break an old order, the valor to main
tain a new one, and the wisdom to for
tify it with laws and constitution.
The first and second Congress of our
nation comprised the flower of the
character of that age. AS whole
body they ruled higher for talents,

Travis, the last named made a gal
liant fight against overwhelming odds
Messengers had been despatched to
summon help, and finally Travis sent
his friend out to bring assistance. At
his first destination his appeals were
Of no avail and he rode on to Con
zales. There he found that Captain
Martin and thirty-two men had gone
to the assistance of the beseiged men,
fighting their way into the fort. So
he returned.
Three days after Bonham's ride the
Mexican army made a general assault.
All but six of the brave garrison were
killed. and these, surrendering on con-
dition of parole, were butchered in
cold blood. The Mexicans lost 1000
men. On April q the Mexican army

battlecry of the Texans was "Remem-

of the little army cut the Mexican
forces to pieces, killing $50 and cap

Texas won her independence.

to have a charmed life. On and on he
went, and the fire against him grew
heavier. But now the men of the gar
rison had seen the white handker-
chief, which had been agreed upon as
a signal, and a cheer went up. The
gates of the fort swung open. The
horse went faster. Smith saw horse
and rider reach the fort, and tie gates
swung to behind them. They had gone
unscatched through the entire Next

The Alamo at San Antoine, originally
built for mission, had been taken by

They captured the first Federal out
works, and staggered on toward the
second. But the Union fire had been
too deadly. No human bravery could
withstand such losses. The gray lines
fell back, leaving most OF their men
dead on the field. Thus with the third
day Of the Battle of Gettysburg over
the climax of the war was past.
The little town round which the bat

in 1900 it became the county seat. 1t

firmness, and good judgment than any
national assembly known to history.
So when it came to a division be-
tween allegiance to England and a
complete separation from the mother
country, these men chose wisely,
bravely, and confidently. 1t was a
big step to take, and a dangerous one
also. Hitherto the colonies had been
merely fighting for mo taxation with
out representation; but now they
would be fighting for liberty And, if
conquered, the leaders could hope for
no better fate than execution as trail
tors.
1t is related that when Benjamin
Franklin lifted his pen after signing
the Declaration of Independence he
turned to the assembly and said with a
grim smile:
Now, Gentlemen, we must all hang
together, or we shall hang separately.
The Declaration of independence
was adopted on July 4, 1776; but not
all the members OF the Continental
Congress signed it on that day. A
great many signed at later dates.

Colonel Frederic J. Paxon, chief of
staff for Governor Slaton and one of
Atlanta's foremost business men, Sat
urday morning forwarded his per
sonal check for $25 to the Atlanta
Mothers Congress, through The Geor-
gian, to aid in the campaign to sup

milk during the hot months.
In a letter which accompanied his
check, Colonel Paxon congratulated
the members Of the congress on their
zeal and hard work in behalf of the
poor babies, and characterized the
movement as an advanced step along

letter. in full, follows:
THE Atlanta Georgian, City:
Gentlemen congratulate you,
and that most heartily, on your eff
forts to furnish pure milk to the
babies Of Atlanta whose mothers can
not afford to buy same. A movement
such as this must necessarily be rec

the line Of future good citizenship

less the foundation is laid in earliest
childhood?
Enclosed find my check for $25 to-

morning. He will return Monday
Solicitor General Hugh NJ. Dorsey
will ask the courts to hold the negro
as a material witness for the State,
or may charge him with being an
accessory. He was determined Fri
day to take no chances on so impor-
tant a witness getting out of his con-
troll as he feared the negro might
get beyond the jurisdiction of the
courts if given his liberty.
Attorney Chappell and Solicitor
Dorsey had agreed, when the negro
was committed to jail, TO keep him
there until the trial. Chappell notl-
fed Dorsey Wednesday that he
wished to withdraw from the agree
nient and get his client freed.
Chief Discounts Conley Rumor.
The announcement Friday that the
defense had secured an important and
damaging affidavit that connected the
States star witness, Jim Conley, more
directly with the crime created a
sensation in the ranks of the prosecu-
ton.
Chief of Detectives Newport A.
Lanford announced that every move
ment of the negro on the day of the
crime had been Checked up" and
that 1t was a matter of impossibility
to find anything more damaging
against him than his admission that
he helped dispose of the body at the
request of Frank.
In commenting on the affidavit Sc
cured at the office of Joseph II. Lea
witt Thursday the attorney said that
ii would be almost impossible for the
prosecution to break down any state
ment that was made in the affidavit
when the witness was placed on the
stand
Calls Evidence Vital.
He said the witness was a citizen
of high standing and would be one CT
the most important for the defense Of
Frank.
Attorney Leavitt said that this par
ticular affidavit was one of more than
so that had been recently secured that
dealt almost exclusively with the
movements of the negro on the day
Of the murder. While he would not
comment at any length, he intimated
that the defense had been able to eS-
tablish conclusively the exact time
Conley entered and left the factory.
He also intimated that affidavtts
had been secured that would show
what time Monteen Slower entered
and left the factory and be able to
prove she left before Mary Phagan' 5
car reached the vicinity Of the pencil
factory.
