A patchwork of comments on Chicago muni ownership, Roosevelt era muckraking, and political feuds. Mentions Moody, Taggert, and debates over press power, with digressions on czars, Gorky extradition, and a quake in San Francisco. Notes about cotton mills, seed matter, and labeled angels provoke a jumble of names and events in a late Progressive context.
The exposition committee shifts the meeting to next Wednesday to speed canvassing and elicit broad backing from Atlanta residents. They warn delinquents risk delaying a practical, industrial expo highlighting the South’s resources, manufacturing progress, and long term regional benefits.
A reflective piece on historical shaming devices and the modern complaint of "scolds" in Georgia. It recounts the ducking stool as a past mercy to quell persistent nagging and contrasts it with today’s journalists and chronic complainants. The author laments perpetual noise and urges restraint and optimism.
The article surveys South American friction as Colombia Venezuela Peru and Chile drift toward conflict while urging US diplomacy to enforce peace and debt restraint. It also honors nurses and quiet heroines whose selfless acts at San Francisco and in wars save lives, though seldom celebrated.
An article describes a city lawyer famed for harsh political rhetoric who is stabbed on a street while haranguing a crowd. He collapses on a billiard table as reporters gather, shouting for the press to come near before dying from a knife wound. Also includes a Norcross Ga May 12 special from Ulver D Hall.
A fragmented collage of verse and prose pieces evokes Southern life with dialectical humor and reflection. It names places such as Buffalo New York and Alabama and Georgia and speaks through characters about weather, travel, money, love, and a fisherman’s journal tone, ending with a signature line by Eleanore Nicol.
The Walton Tribune portrays Heke Smith as cold and selfish among neighbors, contrasting Clark Howell as warm-hearted and a strong Georgia ally. The piece casts Howell as a champion of the people while labeling Smith as unfriendly and detached from public favor.
A compilation of editorials from several Georgia papers discusses Hoke Smith, negro disfranchisement, and party politics. It cites reactions to Smith’s plan, potential candidates, and claims about genuine Democrats versus organized, false opposition. It mentions The Atlanta Journal, Tom Watson, and various local papers.
A May 12 Forsytham special reports a small turnout of sixty one at a grand rally of insulted democrats. They denounced the state executive committee for restricting policy shaping to Democrats only.
