THREE INITIALS BRING MAIL; POSTMEN SHO W EFFICIENCY •T. E. C. "Wall street. "Atlanta, Ga.” This rather scant address on a postal card carried It without delay, thanks to the efficiency of Atlanta's mall car riers. The card came all the way from San Antonio as directly as If It had borne the full address of T. E. Cox. for whom It was Intended. Thereby hangs a tale. About a week ago Mr. Cox was standing In front of his office when he brw a young lady on a Seaboard train motioning to him frantically with some post cards, evidently desiring him to mall them for her. He ran out to pick them up, but one fell beneath the wheels. It was mutilated, but still legible, so he wrote upon It. "Fell un der train. T. E. C.,” and mailed it with the others. Evidently the young lady who sent the card found that It had reached Its destination. She wanted to thank Mr. Cox for mailing It, but only knew his Initials, so sent him a pretty card from San Antonio with the above address, guessing rightly that his office was on Wall street. As her signature was merely E. H„ San Antonio, Texas, there Is little chance of further correspond ence.

Frits Ulrlcl, a traveling salesman, of CIS Criticises Committee Which Investigated Water. A committee of five from council, ap pointed by Mayor Joyner, will now take up the water question and report to council whether or not a further In vestigation Is necessary. A motion to this effect was made by Alderman Qullllan Monday afternoon, after hearing the report of the general manager, and waa adopted by a vote of 13 to 5. The report of the general manager gave that official's side of the present situation at the waterworks, severely criticised council for appointing on the Investigating committee men who, he said, were known to be antagonistic to him, and criticised the committee for holding the Investigation without even calling him In for a statement or an explanation t of any kind. > At the conclusion of the report. Councilman Huddleston arose and characterised the general manager's reference to W. C. Shearer, a member of the committee as “that man Shear er,’* as disrespectful, out of order, and certainly In bad taste." He saw no use appointing another Investigating com mittee, as the general manager might object to the second one also If the report waa not satisfactory. Councilman Longlno aald that a good deal of politics was behind the whole agitation. • Colonel Woodward’s report, although not as hot as had been promised, was nevertheless a rather spicy document. Woodward’s Report. Beginning, the general manager oaks that the blame be definitely ilxed on him, or the water board, or the city council. He then criticised the council for having peraons known to be antag onistic to him on the committee. He further charged that the commit tee had not consulted either tho general manager or the water board, nor had they been asked to show cause for the muddy water. . . Colonel Woodward contended that the pressure had not ranged from 117 to 126 pounds for a number of years, as had boon atated by Coitncllman Har man, but that the pressure had ranged from 105 to 107 as a rule. The general manager said that In his special report In 1902 and In his annual reports of 1902, 1903, 190<, 1905 and 1906 he had recommended the laying ot an additional main from the river to the reservoir. The general manager called attention to the fact that he had notlQed tho board that Increasing tha pressure on the pumps would probably prevent muddy water, but that the board hod refused to authorlxe this Increase. Report on Filters. A statement from Robert Milligan, general manager of ihe company which sold and installed the filters at the wa terworks. was attached to tho report. This statement was to the effeot that the filters had been kept In splendid shape. _ Continuing, Colonel Woodward recommended tho appointment of a committee of representative (ltlsens to make the Investigation and that this committee employ a competent and disinterested hydraulic engineer. He suggested such men as Captain R. J. Lowry, Dr. R. D. Spalding, C. E. Cur rier, Sam D. Jones and J. K. Orr. The general manager stated then If this committee reports that he Is re sponsible for the conditions now at the waterworks he will resign, provided the members of the committee who signed the report will agree to resign if tho Investigating committee reports In his favor.

DANIEL, President. 45-47-49 Peachtree Street. Councilmen Say City Can Prosper With out It. The often-heard statement that At lanta Is dependent for her growth upon the whisky traffic was ridiculed and disproved by members of council Mon day afternoon, who took occasion to refute the argument that Atlanta could not extend the city limits If the pro hibition bill was passed. The matter of extension was deferred until Au gust 6. A few statements mads on the floor of council follow: Councilman E. W. Martin—“The state was never so prosperous as It Is now, and there Is more prohibition In Geor gia now than ever before. I, for one. am not willing to admit that the rest of the state can prosper without whis ky and Atlanta can not.'' Alderman E. C. Peters—"I think It would bs better to wait until the leg islature has acted on the prohibition bill before we act on city extension, but I know that the city of Atlanta does not depend upon whisky for her growth." Councilman W. H. Terrell—"The statement that Atlanta can not extend If prohibition goes Into effect, or that this city Is dependent upon the whisky traffic. Is nothing but stuff and non sense.'' Credit to The Georgian. Mayor Pro Tem. F. A. Qullllan—"The prosperity of the city of Atlanta does not depend upon the city getting that tMO.OOO ot whisky license money next yea& If we don’t get It we will merely spend that much less. We won't have to pay 175,000 a year tat an audito rium-armory next year as we did this. We will have a large Increase In taxes from the Georgia Railway and Electric Company, and don't lose sight of the fact that your committee, Mr. Chair man (Alderman Key was in tho choir), and this council, with the splendid as sistance, enterprise and forethought of The Georgian, saved tho city 325,000 In lights for next year and the four years thereafter. “The taking away of any one thing,” concluded tho mayor pro tern., “will not lose us our success. We will con tinue to live and thrlvo and to march on to prosperity, progress, growth and future greatness." FAVOR PROHIBITION AND WORK FOR CAUSE. Cordele, Ga., July 16.—Colonel M. M. Eakes and J. A.
