not wish to join for fear that they
will be called to go to Mexico or
help suppress a labor agitation. This
is improbable and a poor excuse, ac-
cording to the military authorities.
With the present Company H and
companion company Las Vegas
would be the most progressive city
in the state It is the suggestion Of
the general that one company be
made up Of Spanish-Americah officers
and men and the other Of strictly Eng
disappearing soldiers.
TO Increase HIS Membership
Judging from the interest manifest
ed at the drill Of Company H last
night at the armory, there is little
doubt but that the local military or
ganization will be able to increase its
membership to the required standard
Adjutant General Harry Herring at
tended the drill for the purpose of
meeting the officers and members of
the company, and this morning ex-
pressed himself as pleased with the
apparent interest shown.
Lieutenants Powers and Smith were
practically put in charge of the work
of increasing the membership Of the
company, due to the fact that Cap
tain Morrison cannot give the work
enough time. Captain Armijo volun-
teered to act as special recruiting Of
ficer.
The soldiers viii begin at once prep
arations for the inspection Of the
company, which wilr occur during the
first part Of next month by a United
States army officer. aen are
anxious to be in the Vet possible
condition for this inspection and hope
by that time to have increased the
membership to the required standard
The attendance at the drill was
good and several men signified their
intention Of joining the company,
which gives the recruiting department
a good start. This work will be push
ed during the remainder of this
month.

DEMOCRATS SUGGEST
SPLIT CITY TICKET
CITY CENTRAL BODY APPOINTS
COMMITTEE TO CONFER
WITH REPUBLICANS


The democratic city committee met
last night in the office Of Judge E. ".
Long, in executive session for CONSUL
tation, with a fair attendance. 1t was
found that to this date no democrat
cared to run for mayor at the coming
city election.
A committee on conference of four
members was appointed to confer
with the republican committee to see
what arrangements could be made, if
AMY, to divide the city ticket between
the two parties, one part of the ticket
to be named by the republicans from
their own party and other part to be
selected by the democrats from their
party.
This conference committee was di-
rected to report later. The city com
mittee declined to take definite action
as to future proceedings, but determ-
ined to submit the report Of the con-
ference committee to democratic
city convention to be held later.
1t was also determined that demo-
cratic primaries would soon be called
in each ward to select delegates to a
democratic city convention.
At this city convention the dele
gates are expected to determine what
course to pursue. The report Of the
conference committee will be sub
mitted to this, democratic city conven-
ton to adopt or reject, or take such
other action as the city convention
might determine best.
The democratic city committee de-
termined it had no authority to make
the final determination, but will leave
that to the convention.
The conference committee is COM
posed Of G. H. Hunker W. 6. ogle,
G. N. Douglas and ID. W. Condor.

Several Of the large cottonwood
trees in the Plaza park are being re-
moved to give more room to the
elms, which are growing rapidly. The
old cottonyoods have done good serv-
ice and many people will be sorry to
see them go. The cottonyood is the
great friend Of the settler, growing
rapidly and giving him shady groves
soon after his arrival. The settler
usually is ungrateful, however, cutting
down his old friends as soon as he
has induced new trees to grow in
their stead. ea

THE FRANK CASE: A MUCH
NEEDED LAW.

Dear Sir: Everybody is fncensed
that the State Of Georgia allowed
Detective Burns for a money con-
sideration, to come to Georgia and
tamper with witnesses. Allow me
to suggest that you advocate a law
being passed making it an offense to
do. this in the future, and also an
offense for a witness to change his
testimony after he has been dis
charged. Everybody knows that
money will save Franks neck, and
no rich man will ever be convicted in
Georgia again.

Dear Sir: Enclosed find check

ever line Of your editorial of the 9th
inst, with reference to the Leo
Frank case. I know it is the ablest
document that I have ever read It
will do an immense amount of good
and make you thousands of friends
How strange it is that there are
preachers in Atlanta that are anx-
ious to have the verdict of the jury
that tried this red handed murderer
set aside, also, to ignore the decision
of the Supreme Court of Georgia.
These preacshers are sowing seed
which will bring a harvest of mob
law in this State. Ninety-fve per
cent of the people in this section are
satisfied that Leo Frank murdered
little Mary Phagan. If Jim Conley
had not got full of bust-head liquor
he would have gone back to the
pencil factory and helped Frank
burn the body of little Mary Pha-
gan. If Frank and Conley had car
ried out their devilish plot, no one
would have ever known what be-
come of that poor girl Her dear
.
is my precious girl tonight Every
day and every hour that dear moth
er would be hoping and expecting
some word from her dear child. But
Jim Conley getting too drunk to go
back and help Frank burn little
Mary's body has obliterated all hope
that dear mother would have had of
seeing her dear child again in this
life. Liquor, liquor! Mans worst
enemy and the DEVILS best friend,
has proved a blessing in this case.
1t will be the cause of justice being
meted out to one of the most villain
Gus murderers that ever walked the
streets of Atlanta. Thousands and
tens of thousands of dollars have
been and is still being spent, no
doubt, in buying newspapers, false
witnesses and the advise w. J.
Burns, in order to shift the crime
of Leo Frank on Jim Conley. Keep
turning on the light Mr. Watson,
you are doing more good than any
hundred men in Georgia. Your
great work is not appreciated as it
ought to be, but it will be appre-
ciated in coming years. Maybe af-
ter you have gone to your reward.
You are advocating righteous cause

Youll find it's just that way
And I'd live up to what he said.

And all the petty things,

Would ever scorn to stoop.

the balance owed to wholesale houses,
