pretended here Saturday night, ac
cording to police authorities who
had been advised by the Chief OF
Police Of Eufaula, Ala, to be on
the lookout for the impostor.
Cline alias Porter, or whatever
his name might be, blew into Ameri-
Gus Saturday morning from Dawson,
but he could not be located until a
few minutes before the 10:40 Cen
trail train left for Macon that night.
When it was ascertained by the po-
lice that a man answering to the
description sent out by the Eufaula
police was stopping at the Windsor
Hotel efforts were made to locate
him but he was already safely
aboard the Central train bound for
Macon, according to the ticket agent
who said he sold the man a ticket
to Macon.
Whatever the mans game was t
is a certainty that he did not work
it here as he was not seen on sthe
streets by any of the police who
kept sharp lockout for a tall man
wearing a heavy black mustache and
weighing about IT'S pounds.
Macon police have been advised
and in all probability the man will
be apprehended there and held for
investigation. Local authoritie'

Blind Negroes
Bugle Opens
Pass For Him

ATLANTA, August 3. -
Sounding his bugle warming of
Pm coming, Pm coming" an
aged blind negro of the sold
Black Joe" tpe crosses the busy
streets of Atlanta without fear
of danger. His long bugle
warns all drivers that he sis
coming" and he meanders
through the maze of traffic UNI
scathed.
The bugle carried by the re-
incarnation of the character
immortalized by Stephen Fos-
ters' song is nearly as long as
its owner and was fashioned by
hard from heavy tin. On the
side in large letters is printed
the legend: II am blind" In adj
dition to its use as a klaxon,
the owner of the unique instru-
ment is able to produce by it
melodies loved throughout the
South.
The aged negro whose eyes
are sightless has treveled ex-
tensively through the South,
ever hearlding his approach to
public places with his unwiela-
ly trumpet. He does not ask
aims; he gains his livelihood by
his music and by selling soap.

BY CHARLES p. STEWART


WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-This
country is on the point of a show
down. It will mean one of two
things.
Either:
l, Wen settle down to funda-
mentalist rule, with no more yowl-
ing about it, Or,
2. Wen be liberalized aplenty-
oVer-liberalized, the fundamental
lists say.
This is the opinion of politicians
fundamental and liberal alike
who drift in and out of Washing
ton, swapping reports concerning
the conditions they observe in their
various bailiwicks.
Politically the fundamentalists
control the country-not effective
ly, everywhere, but more or less,
generally, nationally speaking. How
they gained control nobody quite
knows. It's situation which just
'kinda growed."
Before anybody realized it, here
it was. The liberals don't like it.
That's to be seen on every hand.
Nor do the fundamentalists like
the way the liberals thrash around,
kicking against the pricks.
Who really is in a majority it's
impossible to tell. There never's
been a conclusive test of stsrength.
The liberals have given ground,
bit by bit, without actually putting
up much of a fight. This is done
with-they're about to make q
stand-more, to put every ounce
into a desperate effort to drive the
fundamentalists back
So fundamentals and liberal
politicians agree in reading the
signs. They agree, too, that the
fundamentalists won't be satisfied
with absinere defense--they'll do
their utmost to finish liberalism off
for good.
The struggle won't center about
any single narrow issue-pro-hibi-
ton, evolution, some one detail of
public morals, some particular So
called blue law.
The campaign will open - has
