Monday, 8th December 1913: Chief J. L. Beavers Speaks At Toccoa On Civic Reforms, The Atlanta Constitution

Chief James L. Beavers delivered a striking address on civic reforms in the tabernacle at Toccoa yesterday morning.

The event was attended by a large crowd.

The theme of the famous policeman's speech was the power of reform, and the results it had obtained in Atlanta.

He dwelt extensively on the necessity of reform to a municipality.

He referred to that part of his career as police chief, in which he had been branded "A Miss Nancy" by a city hall official.

"This man who called me Miss Nancy," spoke the chief, "has since learned that my methods were not those of a hysterical fanatic. I am not angry at this man. Furthermore, I do not think he is vexed at me. That is to say, at the present time, for the and Atlanta have seen that there has been no fanaticism in our police methods."

The chief returned to Atlanta at 8:30 o'clock last night.
