THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. SEPTEAfPER 16. 1912.
Household That Has Real ‘Wah
Time' Servant Is Envy of
Neighborhood.
Out in West Fourteenth street there's 1
a household treasure who is the envy
of tlie neighborhood. There isn't a fmn
ily in nine blocks which wouldn't like
to adopt Aunt Gaorgie Bradwell, the:
: "black mammy" of four-year-old Pal- !
inter Dallis. daughter of Mi. and Mrs.|
Ernest K Dallis. Mammy Geoigia is I
one of the very few black mammies left'
in Atlanta. A thousand Southern moth
ers wish there were a thousand like
her.
"No. marsler; they ain't no niore'n a
dozen real old-time nusses lef’ in At
lanta." said Mammy Georgia. "Hit's
been a moughty long time sense war
limes, and dey ain't been no house
servants sense den, like dey used to be.
"Me? I ain't a sho nuff befo’-de-wah
nurse. No, suit'. I was bawn jus' after
de wah. But I had old-time raisin' and
I b'longs to old kind. White folks tells
me dey wishes dey could find niggers
dese days like de mammies dal used to
nu-s 'em when dey was Chilian.”
The old woman stopped to open a
pietute book for her tiny charge.
"Jest Makes Up" Her Stories.
"Bead me another story. Mammy."
begged lite little girl. Old Georgia be
gan a vivid account of the adventures
of the little boy and girl in the picture.
It didn't sound like literature, but it
was interesting
a 'an you read. Mammy ?" asked the
reporter.
"No. suii; I was jus' funnin'," ex
plained the old nurse, with a hearty
laugh. "I don't have to read. I kin jus'
look at de pictures and make up tales
for de chillun dat suits dem heap bet
ter'll them in de books.
"You don't see many of us old inani-
I mi< s now. do you. marster? Dese new
| time niggers ain't no good fur nusses.
' Dey don't keer about nuthin' but havin'
■i a good time -fiat's all. De chillun don't
love 'em like dey do us old-timers. Me.
I've been nu»sin' dis baby sense she
was a week ole. and she thinks jus' as
much of me as she do of her own
mother Don't you. honey?"
And the little girl nodded a hearty
. assent.
"Ole Mammy” Beloved By All.
Truly, th" child of today who has a
black mammy is blessed above her
companions. It is a treat to see an old
nurse. b?nt with years and infirmities.

DR. FLINN CONDEMNS
SUICIDE OF NOGI; IS
“INJURY TO JAPAN”
I ■
A life of patriotism marred by a final
'act .that injured his country and could
not be patriotic is the way in which Dr.
Richard Orme Flinn, pastor of North
Avenue Presbyterian church, charac
: tplbzes the suicide of Count Maresuke
Nogi, supreme military councillor of
i Japan.
Dr. Flinn preached an eloquent ser
i mon last night on "Suicide” and based
i his subject on the suicide of Count
Nogi and his wife at the funeral of
their empei or.
"Nogi was not insane." said Dr.
Flinn. “He was actuated by the sin
cerest motives, as was his wife, and I
honor him for his sincerity, but his
death was caused by the weakness of
Pagan philosophy and he hasudone Ja
pan tin irreparable harm.
"He killed himself when Japan need- I
ed him most and he has set an example
that will be hard to overcome."

AND TRIES TO SLAY SELF
GAINESVILLE, TEX . Sept 16. Wil
liam Smith. 38 years old. was shot through
the heart and killed this morning by his
fourteen-year-old son. just after he had

went through Smith's heart The boy was
brought here and placed in jail. After
committing the crime, young Smith tried
to drown himself, but was prevented by
i neighbors. He begged to be killed, say
i mg he would rather be dead than suffer
jthe agony of realizing he had murdered
I his own father.

MISS ffflß NOT
ILL, SAYS FRIEND
Has Been in Sanitarium. But
Has Recovered and Will
Sing in Opera Soon.
By CHARLES HENRY MELTZER. j
LONDON. Sept. 16. What are rhe facts I
concerning Geraldine Farrar? For some
weeks past wild stories have been cur
rent. In Paris and Milan the popular
prima donna was reported to be so Hl
that there was little or no hope of saving
her The announcement that she hail
been under treatment is a Munich sanita
rium seemed to give substance to this tale-
When it became known that she had can
celled al! engagements for her projected
concert tour her friends, of course, sup
posed her case was desperate
"I have learned, however, from an im
portant employe of the Metropolitan that
Miss Farrar had recovered.
"I saw Miss Farrar only a few days ago
in Munich." said my informant. "She
was then living at the Hotel De Russie
and looked bright and well. It is a fact
that she was lately in a sanitarium, and
at her doctor’s advice, some weeks ago,
she cancelled her concert engagements,
but she assured me she was now in per
fect health and there appears to be no
doubt that she will be able to appear on
the second night of the approaching opera
season, not in New York, but possibly in
New Haven."
In confirmation of his optimistic state
ments. my informant pointed out that
Miss Farrar's mother had arrived in
Paris.
"Is it likely," he concluded, "that she
would leave her daughter’s side if the
reports you mention were justified? '
On the other hand, about a week ago
an artist who till lately would have been
generally accepted as an authority gave
quite alarming news about Miss Farrar
to one of the most influential persons con
nected with grand opera in America. The
truth may lie between the two extremes.
GOES MAD AS HE SEES
DEATH CHAIR; SHOCK
ENDS NEGRO’S RAVING
AUBURN’. N. Y., Sept. 16.—The most
! grewsome spectacle ever presented at
an electrocution was seen at Auburn
prison today, when James Williams, a
negro, was executed. Fear of death
had driven the negro insane and he
struggled and talked incessantly from
the time he was taken out of the death
cell until the electric current ended his
life.
Nevertheless, the execution was one
of the most rapid on record, requiring
only one minute and forty seconds. One
contact of I,BBo' volts ended Williams’
life.
Williams was accompanied to the
chair by a priest. Despite the priest’s
soothing words, Williams st uggled to
the last against his captors and insist
ed upon making a wild speech. He en
tered the death chamber in a working
suit and golf cap, but was angry when
the cap was taken off. He struggled
to rise, but the straps held and he de
livered his rambling argument, saying:
"Don’t kill me. gentlemen. I want to
warn you about women. Keep away
from women. That's what got me her’.
That's my last voice. Lord Jesus, I
was the first one. Hello, I'm the one,
but. gentlemen, don't kill me."
The current ended his wild harangue.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ~
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Thomas S. Felder, attorney general,
has the finest "buzzer" in the state cap
itol— a "buzzer” being, of course, an
JAMK3 R Njvnt
electrical contrap
tion used in lieu
of a beii. for the
purpose of calling
messengers, por
j ters and the like.
| "Buzzers” are
■ affected most per
sistently by bank
ers. brokers, gov
ernors and attor
ney genet als, and
they carrj with
them a certain as
surance of great
respectability and
dignity.
When a. "buz
zer” buzzes —this
all byway of pre
liminary—t h e re-
fore, underlings and minor attaches hop
lively, for that means a signal from the
Big Noise, and get-a-hump-on time is
at hand!
Tom Felder's "buzzer” is one nf the
most sonorous and insistent that ever
buzzed. It seems to penetrate into the
remotest corners of the capital, and it
never fails to impress visitors mightily.
The average innocent bystander thinks
life, with a "buzzer" like that at one’s
elbow and the authority attaching to
use it, must be a complete and utter
Joy!
But Felder takes no joy in his "buz
zer.” He uses it. because he believes
in perfect order and decorum around
and about the establishment.
A "buzzerless" attorney general
would be almost a disgrace to any well
regulated administration—Felder knows
that, appreciates the gravity of it. and
he uses the "buzzer” regularly, the while
he hates it ever worse than Satan ever
hated holy water!
The attorney general's procedure,
i wishing the porter, is usually somewhat
after this fashion:
Felder pushes "buzzer." and "buzzer"
buzzes after the persuasion of a rip
saw. The porter doesn't come—h£
knows better than to come then. He
understands the hissing nate of Felder
for "buzzers," and for all creatures,
persons and things conjured up “buz
zer-wise!" After the second “buzz,”
Felder goes out into the lobby and does
a vocal turn. "Tom! Hey. commere!”
booms through the corridors. Then
Tom hikes for the attorney general’s
office, and everything is pretty!
Felder has a choice anti-"buzzer" vo
cabulary that he unwinds now and then
for the delectation of particularly inti
mate and personal friends —but nobody
yet has ventured to print that in a
family newspaper!
Every little old political organization
in these United States has an electoral
ticket on file for use in the Georgia
November elections, save and excepting
the Prohibitionists.
The Democrats have their Wilson
electors, of course; the Moosers their
T. R. ticket—they, at last, came to
gether fraternally and sweetly—the reg
; ular G. O. P.'s their Taft exhibit, and
the Socialists their Debs frame-up.
The embattled and sometimes pugna
cious Prohis alone have left this Crack
. er Armageddon undisputed!
