On Train*: FIVE CENTS. CELEBRATES [ The Fourth Begins Early in Atlanta. RED MEN HAVE . TIME OF LIVES Parks and Baseball Fields Full of Out-door Lovers. Atlanta is celebrating the Fourth of July as she has not celebrated it in many and many a year. The observance Is general. The man of means and the man in rags, the young and the old. employer and clerk —all entered Into the spirit of the day, and patriotism Is rampant. Probably more business houses closed In Atlanta in observance of the great national holiday that marks the birth of freedom than ever before. The few that did not close tile entire day closed at noon. The youngsters could not wait until the great day was ushered in, and on the night of Wednesday the blaze of rockets and the boom-boom of Are and cannon crackers made the old soldiers think that war had been renewed and Atlanta was being stormed again by Shot and shell. Up Early on Fourth. Early In the morning the youngsters -Home in spirit and some in age—were up and at it again. Everybody was happy. A contagion of smites spread over the city, and the stern business man had a cordial handshake for the mtn of yesterday who was-trying to wipe him off the face of the commercial map and for the elves and urchins of the streets who popped the cannon crackers under his feet. Then there were Hags and bunting in abundance. Not a few of the stores decorated in fitting observance of the day, and "Old Glory" streamed in the breeze through the livelong day. There was plenty to amuse and to en tertaln. Atlanta and Montgomery mix ed It up in the morning, and in the aft ernoon at Ponce DeLeon park, and the wlhl-eyed and leather-lunged rooters , had opportunities galore to make gala day of it. Fans at ths Games. Thousands of people turned out to both games. In addition to the almost innumerable host of Atlanta fans, Mont, gomery sent a goodly delegation and they were on hand to make things live ly and keep them humming. Atlanta's parks were scenes of the fnyest and most rampant activity. Ponce DeLeon, with Its beautiful, level walks. Its shady nooks and cool retrents. its theater and all the amuse ments that go to make it an ideal play ground, was thronged with pleasure- seekers bent on making the Fourth a glorious one. The cars to White City, Atlanta’s new park, were crowded all day, and the street car company was forced to short en the schedule and put on a large number of special cars to care for the great crowds. The vaudeville theater was running the entire day. Special programs of music were ar ranged and the bands at the respective parks helped to make the Fourth hummer. Out at Grant Park. At Grant park, Atlanta's great play ground, there was an Incessant How of People, old and young. The zoo. with all the new animals, the beautiful shaded walks, the lake, and the other things that combine to make Grant park such a splendid place ■nr just such a day, were thronged with happy, smiling, laughing celebrants. The Fourth in every way has been one of the old-fashioned kind. It has oeen such a day as one who loves his country could not help but feel happy o'er and everybody and everything— not barring the splendid weather—com- nmod to make the anniversary of the birth of "the land of the free and the nomc of the brnve" a day never to be regretted and not soon to be forgotten.

SEVENTEEA TROLLEY CARS HELD UP By ONE BULL DOG; MA TTER DEFEA TED MIND The glance of a bull dog's eye and the raising of n few hairs on the brute's neck •topped seventeen street ears Tuesday aft ernoon, blocking the Mltehell nnd Whitehall lines for fully fifteen minutes, while hun drills of puszled passengers ernned their necks lu an effort to see what the matter was. Only those lu the ear with the dog got the lienetlt of the comedy ennete«* *“ which two street ear men and two poi leu figured most prominently. A pnssenger bourded the ear at the cor- of Whitehall and Mltehell nnd uncon ccruedly took his sent. Following him came a heavy-set white bulldog, which curl ed up beneath his master's feet. The keen eye of the conductor caught sight of the anlmnl and be made haste. “If you haven't a dog pass I will have to put that dog olT,*' said the conductor, pleas antly. The passenger smiled. “Here,” said the conductor, “he can’t stay on this cnr.’* And he made n move ment ns If to grab the dog bjr the col lar. Then the dog looked at him. 8ome say the animal winked. The conductor came bnek with the motor- man. who also said the dog hnd no right to ride on the ear. The motorinnn squatted down, looked the dog over; then shook his head. "Look here.” be Mid, 'It ain't my tiuehieM to pat dog, off car,. I rua ear,. What do yon conductor} get paid for?" and he went back to the front end. where he pounded the bell Impatiently. The conductor set out-In search of • po liceman. In tho meantime the car remain ed stationary, and the dog beneath the seat dosed his eyes. One by one the other passengers took a look at him. Ilehlnd the car In which the dog lay were other cars, all motionless. Each minute Increased the number, until the string reached to Whitehall, where the congestion threatened nil sorts of things. Accompanied by two policemen, the con doctor returned, and. pointing out the dog, said, "There he l». One of the officers put out his hnnd, but drew It back. There wus a brief consultation, and tho older officer referred to a book of rules lu his pocket. “There Isn't nny city ordinance against dogs riding on tho cars," said the senior cop. “At least I never heard of It.

About 150 of the most prominent buslnezs men of Atlanta met at the Piedmont Hotel at 3:50 o’clock Wed neBday afternoon and adopted resolu tlons strongly opposing the proposed state prohibition law, and urging the legislature not to abolish the local op' tlon ayatem. Their practical unanimity of sentl ment on the resolution, and the fact that the meeting included many of the leading business men of Atlanta, make the meeting worthy of more than passing^ottce. The resolutions urge that local option la tl.o most democratic system and the most satisfactory one for Aghting the whisky evil. It Is urged that the coun< ties that have “gone dry" be protected in every possible way from the incur slon of whisky Into Its borders and that severe penalties be thrown around those ho violate tho wishes of these cuun ties. The resolutions charge that state pro hlbltlon la contrary to the policy of home rule and that It would severely Injure the material welfare of this and nthflr -hjrge "It!.,. In the »tate and would tend to make tho morals worse rather than better. Tried it Two Year*. It Is pointed out and strongly empha sised that Atlanta once tried prohlbl tlon for about two years, and that It not only cut the city oft from great reve nues and crippled the business interests of the city In general, but the moral condition.
