Plea Made for Helpless Ones
Left by Martyr to Duty,
Slayer Dies.

Atlanta's generosity is beginning to
flow in a deep, broad stream toward
the little home Of the widow and six
children of Court Deputy Dave Yam
cey. who was slain by a crazed negro
Monday.
The contributions are small, but
they are coming in from ali over the
city. Those who knew the brave dep
utv have mingled their small sums
with those who did not in a universal
endeavor to repay to the bereaved
family that which it lost.
The Georgian's fund for Yancey is
mounting upward, slowly but steadily.
az Atlanta realizes the debt which it
owes.
Atlanta viii do its duty. This city
will stand forth and meet the vast
obligation which it contracted when
1t sent its servant to his death while
preserving peace.
Little Boy Among Donors.
Out in the lonely little cottage on
the Jonesboro road the widow and
six children of Court Deputy Yancey
will thank their creator that their
husband and father served such a
generous and noble master.
Touching among the contributions
which have been received was that
sent in by little boy. The amount
was 81 and the note accompanying
1t stated that the donor was "a little
kid just like those who have lost their
daddy"
Contributions have also been started
by the police and detective depart
ments of Atlanta. Headed by the names
of Police Chief Beavers and Detective
Chief Lanford, the list of contribu-
tons coming in from the police is
constantly growing as the officers of
the law step forward to aid one Of
their own kind who met a fate which
they themselves are ever in danger of
meeting.
Eugene Watson, the negro who slew
the brave deputy and devastated his
home, died at the Grady Hospital
Monday night. Death despoiled the
law of its duty.
In a small, bare cottage on the
Jonesboro road, where, until yester-
day, a family had struggled hard for
an existence and good fortune had
never smiled, to-day the utter hope
lessness of the poverty is emphasized.
Through the night widow, broken
in health and spirit and six chill
dren, none of them able to work,
knelt by the form Of the murdered
Dave Yancey, court deputy weeping
for the life that was sacrificed to
duty and for the dark days ahead
when there will be no one to pro-
vide.
Once or twice in his life Yancey
had pIospered. Shortly after he came
to Atlanta he was a bailiff for Jus
ti2e of the Peace. He earned money
then 10 take care of his wife and chill
dren. He held the position a short
while. when the justice died, For sew

Mail Order Houses
Accused As Menace

WASHINGTON. June 17.-Sman
country merchants of the United
States are gradually being ruined by
the monstrous mail order houses OF
the country, according to statements
made in a speech before the House
by Representative William H. Hine-
baugh, of Illinois. Mr.. Hinebaugh
said that the distribution of com
modities in the country districts was
rapidly being confined to billion dol
lar concerns.

and directed the work of the children.
Yancey usually came home at about
6 o'clock every evening. As he trudged
up the long hill from the end of the
car line his wife and children left the
field and came to the house to pre-
pare the scant supper. BY s o'clock
in the evening the house was in dark
ness and the family asleep
Only when little Lois was in the
hospital did any Of them venture into
the city, Usually they walked the
entire way. They saw little of their
neighbors except an occasional con-
versation as one would pass the house
in the early morning, or after work in
the evening.
Where they have lived and strug-
gled for an existence together Mrs
Yancey and her children want to con-
tinue to live. They declined to con-
slider returning to Gwinnett County,
where Yancey's relatives live.
Outlook Is Gloomy.
There is some hope of the little
farm being made successful, enough
so TO pay the monthly installments on
the home, and there is some posi-
bility of Mrs. Yancey's idea of a small
poultry farm becoming a reality, but
these are things that are almost out
of the question this year.
The farm is an absolute failure this
season. 1t is impossible to start a
poultry farm without money and un-
less money can be secured the home
will have to be given up, and the
family, more destitute than ever re-
turn to worse conditions in Gwinnett
County.

ATLANTASBOOKS
ARE WELL KEPT,
SAY EXPERTS
But Mild Criticisms Are Made Of
Systems in Few Departments
by Special Audit.

A report of a special audit of an
the city departments by the Audit
Company of the South was made to
Mayor Woodward Tuesday. But mild
criticisms Of any of the departments
are made and the general business
system Of the city is praised, especial
ly the work of the Comptroller's de-
partment. Mayor Woodward said he
would transmit the report to the
Council Finance Committee, which
authorized the audit.
I'VE found the records of the Comp
troller's office for the year 1912 in
better shape than for preceding
years" states the report.
in our opinion the work of this
office can and should be simplified
and also amplifed.
"One of the things to be approved
about the City of Atlanta is that all
collections are made by one depart
ment, the Tax Collector.
Tax Map Taken Up.
The question Of a proper tax map
for the Tax Assessors should be con-
sidered.
Whereas We found all moneys
properly accounted for in the Mar
shal's office yet the accounting meth
DDS are deficient and should be ma
terially improved.
1T is our pleasure to report the ac-
counts of the Police Department are
better kept than any other of the
public accounts. But much useless
work can be eliminated.
The cost Of forage in the sanitary
and construction departments seems
high. 1t might be well for the city
to receive bids for the feeding and
"a ring for 10 live nf tbaga trro
departments.
Construction Department Lax.
The records of the construction
department for the years 1911 and
1912 do not appear to have been as
well kept as for the year 1910. We
understand this has been due to vari-
Gus changes in the office.
Examination of the water depart
ment shows it to be well managed.
The accounting methods should he
revised.
THE bookkeeping Of the park de-
partment can be greatly simplihed.
Cyclorama receipts are not properly
safeguarded.
The statements transmitted here
with show the city to be in first class
financial condition. The city has a
borrowing ability now. under the
State Constitution, Of approximately
Sb,UuU,OOU.
In our opinion, the city and coup-
ty governments should be consoli-

the round he staggered Cross to the
ropes with swift right.
Rivers started out in great style in
the third round. He rushed in with
his head lowered and Leach tried to
straighten him with his left. The
Mexican swung right and left for the
jaw and made Leach miss several
times when the New Yorker tried to
put him back with his right swing.
They pulled at each other in the
clinclles. and once. while making an
effort to get under a swing of Cross s,
Rivers dove to the canvas. Cross
began using his science and did good
work
Rivers began getting rough in the
fourth round and tried to get Leachie
leg weary. Cross sent his right
against Joe's jaw with all his might,
but the Mexican covered too careful
~ to get hurt. Both were successful
when they tried an uppercut. Rivers
started to become clever, too, at this
point, and Cross was making wild
swings.
Leach tried again to surprise Rivers
with his left hook when they came on
for the fifth, but Rivers was more
prepared, and although the New
Yorker did connect three times, Riv-
ers was not unbalanced. He made a
jump with his left and the blow wor-
ried Cross for a. second. They ex-
changed blows freely during the
round
Rivers made the sixth round lively
with his PUSHES and swung both
hands continually trying to drop
Cross. Leach missed a few swings
and was in bad positions as q result
of Joe getting in the first punch, and
when Cross tried for an opening he
always found that Rivers was guard
ing his jaw only too well.
Cross was first to land in the early
part of the seventh and tried repeat
eddy with his right, putting full power
into the blows. but the Mexican az
ways came forward He did more
rushing in the eighth, and once Cross
bent low and Rivers went clean over
lis back and landed on his head, but
came up quickly for fight. Toward
the finish Cross did excellent work
but received a hard swing that shook
his head.
In the ninth Leach began measur-
ing his blows, but his attempts to
slow Rivers up were not successful.
He carried the fight to the New
Yorker and stood the blows Of Leach
well. The pair continued to keep up
the fast work to the close. and it was
declared one of the best bouts New
Workers had seen in some time.
