(Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 25. Atlanta to
night shows little signs of the turbu
lent scenes which have been enacted (hir
ing the last few days. Good citizen
ship and cooler heads have obtained the
mastery and prominent men, both while
and colored, arc bending every energy
toward bringing the city back to its
n&rnial condition, which tonight is al-.
most an; accomplished task. '1 he. city
and suburbs are quiet, no reports hav
ing lieen received of violence tonight
from any quarter.
A law and order nias9 meeting was
held late this afternoon, attended bv
representative people of both races .at
the courthouse, which was tilled to
overflowing.'- A fund of $U,fif0 was raised
a lor me ociicin or me vicums oi moo
' '(violence, and a committee of five ap-
pointed to push tne relict work to gon
' .. erous completion. A committee on ipso-
J lutions was chosen of which tne Hon.
Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Con-
W eitiifiitti wn a m ola nlia frtt an T Kia mm
mittee reported resolutions protesting
"against the spirit of lawlessness that has
tarnished the fair name of our city,
and led to the commission ot crime,"
and "denouncing the cowardly and brutal
murder of innocent people and the
wounding of others, and we call upon
( all good men to lift up their voices for
-.' law and order and Use their mlluence
, to check the riotous spirit that is abroad
in the t-ommunity." :
Crush out Anarchy.
j ' The resolutions call upon' the authori
ty ties of our city and sta te to "crush an
archy with an iron hand and spare
neither expense nor force to do so.
. "We demand that the authorities spare
no effort to put a stop to the assaults
on our women. If it takes more men or
more money to do it, that the authori
ties act accordingly. Our womanhood
must and shall be protected."
"It is not right, not just, that the in
nocent, both white and black, shall be
punished for the sins -of the guilty, and
the events of the pnst few days prove
beyond doubt that it is the innocent of
both races that are made to suiter as the
result of the unrestrained efforts of the
mob to nvonge the dastardly outrages
that should be punished by the law.
."We further declare that it is the duty
of our city to care for the Rick and
wounded of both races, and to bury the
dead, and we pledge our willingness to
assist the authorities if needed.
"Where government has not been able
protect life, the common instincts ot
humanity demand that it at least care

these -resolutions were presented uy
Chairman Howell, warmly seconded by
John Temple Graves, editor of the
Georgian; John S. Cohen, managing edi-
tor of the Journaland Charles h. Daniel,
v editor of the Xews. and were unanimous
ly adopted as the sense of the meeting.
' While no further trouble is expected
the city is still strongly guarded and
eery precaution is being taken to pre
vent recurrence of violence.
