bundle under his arm. Brannen ord
cred them to stop thinking they had
stolen something. The little negroes
ran like rabbits. One of them got
away, but Edward Shepherd, the one
who was shot could not run so fast,
and teh officer pursued him and fired
his revolver. At the police station
Rrannen claimed that he did not in
tend to hit the boy, but fired to brighten
him. The bundle was a loaf of bread
that the boy was taking to his mother
for lunch at nearby factory Brannen
has since been indicted by the grand
jury for assault with intent to murder.
Two other Atlanta policemen have
been suspended for fighting over the
possession of a negro woman.
Still another one was suspended for
beating his wife.
A man who has no more sense of
humanity than to shoot down a ten
year old-child is unsuited to the re-
sponsibility of protecting the public"
says an Atlanta daily paper in an edi-
tCrial today There can be no right
full extenuation of this act. The police
man was either criminaiiy careless, or
criminally foolish, or crimfnally VIC
ious The fact that this victim was a
negro child does not alter the principle
involved He should be indicted by
the grand jury and punished as his
crime deserves.
From the above it would appear that
some of the Atlanta's guardians of life,
liberty and property are pretty rotten.
And that's true What more could you
expect of city dominated by man
like Jim Woodward. He upholds lynch
law; and Atlanta policemen, in uni
form followed suit Then, is it
strange that some of the policemen
should shoot down defenceless negro
children and fight over negro prosti-
tutes? But Woodwardism is fast dy-
ing in Atlanta. Old Jim tried to make
capital out Of states misfortune
and he must pay a deserved political
penalty

THE PLACE OF ATLANTA.

No city in the south, and possibly
few others in. the nation, has received
such an undesirable class of advertis-

thing sensational breaking" in the
Cate City. The great place which
contains the capital of our state is
certainly no credit to the remainder of
the state in view of its late history.
One viewpoint of a late tragedy is
treated in the following editorial from
the Greensboro Herald Journal:
A little ten-year-old negro boy was
maliciously shot down by an Atlanta
policeman the other day. The boy ran
when ordered to halt. The boy, IL

A case which bears directly along
these lines was threshed out in an ed
itorial in the Jacksonville Times Union
several days ago when the Florida
paper was taken to task for giving
publicity to the scheme of Florida cit
rus growers in, an effort to secure APP
preparation from congress to fight the
citrus canker. The Times-Union
sought to arouse the epople and even
the nation, to the necessity of lending
aid to Florida The editorial says, "op-
position to the proposed application to
congress for aid in suppressing citrus
canker is developing in Florida and
Alabama on the ground, principally,
that publicity of the fact that the cit
rus industry is threatened with eXtinc-
ton, in the gulf states at least, will
interfere with the sale of lands to
would-be grove owners"
There is the case.
The Times Union quotes from infor-
nation given by the Citrus Canker
Committee when it says that it is a
plague more contagious than small
pox, more infectious than typhoid, and
t. the citrus tree more deadly than
tuberculosis is to man" This is the
pest which certain people would have
| the Times-Union ignore. Certain peo-
pie would throttle the press to fitch
from the ignorant and well-meaning
investor to few dollars to satiate his
craving for gold, mammony Ell, hui
man life.
Quoting further from the Times
Union is another thought:
"The experience of all newspaper
men who have been long in the profess
sion which is most concerned with
publicity is that concealment of facts
often does far more harm than frank
acknowledgement of them. 1t gives
room for the circulation of the most
gigantic falsehoods as rumors. If the
facts about citrus canker are sedul-
oGsly concealed some one is quite
sure to write to newspaper, or
newspaper, published in some other
state a grossly exaggerated account OF
the situation. Then it would be useless
to try to oyertake the lie, whi:l would
be extensively copied, because it has
become known that attempts were
made to suppress the truth and every
statement made in refutation of the
false report will be disbelieved CT ac-
cepted only as partial confession
1t does seem as if the golden rule is

which has been discarded in a race for
gain and gold The practice of the
masses seems to be fame and fortune,
IL ough it may come 30 way of dishon-
esty and even thievry

truth is a coward before people, and

commit such au act is attempting to

Charles H. Gray, who was injured
in fall Saturday night, died at the
st. Joseph hospital yesterday after.
neon at 4:3O. He did not regain con-
seriousness from the time of the acct.
dent, eight p m. Saturday, until his

The cause of his death was concus.
sion of the brain resulting from a
fracture of the skull on the left side.
The fracture covered large part OF
the left side of his head.
Gray fell over the railing of STAIR
way on the outside of building at
Sixth and, Main streets. He was pre-
cipitated head first over the banister
and fell a distance Of about eight feet
to the concreet sidewalk, his head
striking first He was rendered I'M
conscious, Immediately by the fall. He
was taken into the rear of Scott and
O'Reilly's drug store where he was
examined by physician. From there
HI, was taken to the st. Joseph hos
pital where it was announced that he
had slight chance to recover.
The coroner probably will not hold
an inquest nor view the body, the
physicians certificate being sufficient
in this case, it is believed.
