CHARTER PROVIDES
AGAINST'CHANGE
Board of Aldermen Proba
bly Will Send Franchise
Back To Council.
Alderman James I* Key, at the meet
ing of the aldermanie board Thursday
afternoon, will contend that the pro
posed 33 -year franchise • for the South
ern Bell Telephone Company Is Illegal
and will be null and void If passed.
Alderman Key Will cite an amend
ment to the city charter adopted by
the general assembly In 1901, -which he
claims expressly stipulates that no
franchise can be extended beyond the
limits of Its expiration before twelve
months preceding the expiration.
The franchise under which the
Southern Bell Is operating, according to
the Southern Bell officials and the city
attorney, expire with the charter In
1929, and no extension therefore can
be granted, according to the alderman's
Interpretation of the law', until 1928.
The charter amendment referred to
by'the alderman Is published In full In
this Issue of The Georgian.
"There Is no question about the Ille
gality of }he franchise," stated A'der-
“The * amendment to the chnrtor
stales that not before twelve months
previous to the termination of the
franchise can that franchise be
tended. The Southern Bell officials
sav their present franchises extend
umll 1929, and as the proposed fran
chise extends all these frnnchlses a .out
eleven years It can not be passed until
; am firm In my conviction and
any fair minded person w-ho wl read
the proposed ordinance, and can urulcr-
stand this charter amendment. Is
bound to agree with me.
In 8ftt|on Thursday.
When the board of aldermen meets
Thumday afternoon to consider the
grant of a franchise to the Southern
Bell Telephone Company' It Is prac
tically certain that the franchise will
be gent back to council to be again re
ferred to a committee, where further
investigation may be made.
The members of council ore prac
tically unanimous In asking that they
be permitted to consider this franchise
further before giving the telephone

Commissioner Joseph M. Brown, who was

the fact that the chief executive has tt^o

In a letter addressed to Secretary George

laws governing the board or failed to com
ply with all that It commanded of him.
This means that the commissioner does not
acknowledge his suspension and will not
rccogulzo the same.
The letter In full Is ns follows:

Special to The Georgian.
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 22.—In ft
charge to the grand Jury, Judge Jonea
appeals to aober-thlnklng citizens and
warns the Jurymen to watch any re
sistance to the court by the state au
thorities. Among other things, Judge
Jones says:
“Are trainmen to be hunted down and
driven off! like cattle to be Incarcerated
by wholesale, when these honest men
have done no wrong, and have been as
sured by Injunction that they are In
obedience to the law?
“How long will the spectators obey,
even the laws of the state?
“No one would respect the American
people If Its government tolerated such
conditions on any foot of American
soil.
“Tho whole power of the government
will be used, If needed, to enforce the
orders of this court and to punish those
who may defy them.
“I charge you diligently to Inquire of
every offense concerning the process of
the court or efforts to obstruct or Im
pede the due administration of Jus-,
tice.*'
Extra 8eaaion.
Governor Comer says he will con
vene the legislature If rates are not
made effective. Ills statement Is as
follows:
“I have not yet lost hope that these
public service corporations that have
not yet fallen In line will reconsider
and consent to give the new laws a
fair trial.
“I shall endeavor at all times to se
cure the enforcement of the laws of
Alabama, and shall adopt all lawful and
proper measures to secure the domina
tion by the state of Its own affairs.
“I shall use every effort to mitigate
the friction which Is being engendered

“If the statutes upon the subject of
freight and passenger charges are not
obperved by October 1, 1907, by all the
railroad* and it It shall appear that the
state In Its Just effort to regulate rates
Is thwarted by any superior power, I
will call the legislature. In extra ses

RACE FOR CONGRESS
James L. Mayson for congress from
the Fifth district.
That Is a rumor current In Atlanta
now among cIobs friends of tho city at
torney. Mr. Mayson la out of the city,
but those who aro Intimate acquaint
ances assert that he has -made up his
mind to enter the contest against Con.
gressman Livingston.
That Hon. J. Pope Brown, of Haw-
klnsvllle, will not accept the offer of a
place on tho reorganized railroad com
mission Is generally belloved, although
the governor has not received formal
notification of the fact.
It seems equally certain that a place
on the commission was offered Sam D.
Jones, of Atlanta, and that he has de
clined It. It Is also practically conceded
that under the reorganised commission
Commissioner S. Guyton McLendon will
be made chairman.
Aside from acceptance of the offer of
attorney to the commission by Judge J.
K, Hines Thursday afternoon, there are
no new developments In the situation.
If a statement In the Savannah Press,
accredited to Governor Smith, Is accu
rate In every particular, ono of the new
commlsslonershlps will go to that city.
According to The Press, Governor
Smith stated that In the event Hon. J.
Pope Brown did not accept the offer, a
Savannah man would be named to the
place. Savannah has been pressing tho
claims of A. B. Moore, of that city.
The railroad commission bill will
probably reach Governor Smith Thurs
day afternoon. In which event he will
Immediately sign It. Statements ac
credited to him are to tho effect that
he Is as yet at sea on whom he will
name as the now commissioners.

Warrenton, Ga., Aug. 22.—A vast
crowd of citizens from Warren, Glas
cock, Jefferson, Washington and Han
cock counties gathered at Beall Springs
today to hear Hon. Thomas E. Wat
son's address to the farmers* educa
tional rally. There /as no barbe
cue served, and Mr. Watson was the
principal speaker, having accepted the
Invitation because the rally was near
his home and at the urgent request of
his friends.
The speech was a mast* *ful effort
and was listened to with great In
terest.
Watson's 8peech.
Mr. Watson said:
The consular reports, published by our
government, are the most Interesting books
that a student of human affairs could find.
The only other work that compares with
these consular reports In value of thnt
kind Is the statistical abstract, also pub
Untied by our government.
In the reports of the consuls who repre
the statistical abstract, we learn how
ourselves, arc getting along.
After considering the condition of the
masses of the people at home and abroad,
disclosed In these official publications.
disclosed in these omciai publications,
. find it to be a case of “Pull IUck, pull
devil” as to whether the privileged few are
doing worse lu Europe, the land of mom
archies, or In America, the haven of democ
racy. Both at home And abroad, the great
fact Is the same—the Irresistible machinery
of government Is being used by the benefi
ciaries of special privilege to convert to
their own use the wealth produced by the
unprivileged many.
Consider the case of Germany. There
you see a people who are supposed to be
Intelligent, courageous, educated and capa
ble of good government. While they have
an emperor, they also have the ballot.
With the ballot used wisely, they have
the power to control the emperor. They
can make Just such laws as they want.
Once made, these Ihws have to be enforced.
While the empire maintains an Immense
army, this army Is altogether different from
the standing armies of- former times. It Is
constantly changing—new men coming Into
It to serve their time, nnd the older troops
going out ns their term expires. The offi
cers may constitute a fixed body of edu
cated military men, nnd this body of offi
cers may grow Into a caste, but the German
army Itself will always be a people’s army;
for the reason that It Is always coming
from the people nnd always going back to
. I ranrs til* I'll II 11arab nf
the people. Every few years, the change of
men In the ranks Is complete.
Therefore, s* I have said, the laws of
Germany are bound to reflect tho opinions
,nd wants of the people. Just as ours do.
lermnn people are Just na 1 free to vote
„ v are. If they have foolish laws,
they themselves nre to blame; Just as we
arc* to blame If we have lawa that are
foolish.
Huled by Privileged Class.
Now whnt are the facts about Germany,
ns shown In our consular reports?
In thnt land of free ballot and open
school houses nnd compulsory education und
utmost universal capacity to rend and
write—even In that land—the privileged
few who v run the government have been
allowed to make laws which have reduced
the masses of the peoplo to the eating of
horses and dogs.
According to the official report of our
consul at Annoburg, In Saxony, the people
of that one state or the German.empire» de
voured. daring the year 190G. three thou
sand seven hundred and thirty-six dogs.
It Is not to be supposed thnt Saxony Is
fonder of dog meat than are the other
states of Germany—consequently. It Is
fair to assume thnt In other parts of the
country an equal consumption of dog meat
took place. If this be so. then the enllght-
lull's n n.*nn-i»s v;
rams reason. Is playing hnvoc with tho
does.
ft Saxony cots no more thnn her share
of clog meat the great German empire la
annually feeding Itaelf on about n/ty thou-
TVr»?ra, of government whleh brings
about a thing of that sort Is certainly a
cartons phenomenon■ and statesmen would
do well to give It their attention. But
thnt Is not all of the story. These unlrer-
sally educated Germans nre also devouring
their horses. The consular reports show
that horse meat Is regularly sold In the
markets, snd that the yearly number of
horses butchered for food purposes Is two
hundred thousand.
Think of It. statesmen! O think of It.

WHAT COUNCIL CAN
DO IN THE PREMISES
(Acts to Amend Charter City of Atlanta, 1901.)
Section 3: Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the Mayor and
General Council of the City of Atlanta shall have no authority or power to grant, consent
to, or permit the extension, removal or change of the term for which franchises have been
or may be granted, or in any way to extend or renew the time for which permission has
been or may be given, to occupy the streets and public places, except and only during the
twelve monl-3 immediately preceding the expiration of the term of suoh franchises and
permits; and all extensions and renewals made in violation of this Act shall be void.
If the Bell Company has franchises expiring in 1929, as claimed, then
under the above law, the Mayor and Council can not extend or change franchises
over the streets it now holds. The Mayor and Council can, however, withhold
rights to other streets from the company unless it pays a fair income tax.
Richmond gets 3 per cent; Norfolk gets 2 per cent; New Orleans gets over
$15,000 a year.

PENNILESS AND ILL,
LANIER AND HIS WIFE
EJECTED FROM HOME
Couldn’t Pay Rent
and Are Put Out

Penniless, with cheeks hollow and
eyes sunken from eleven weeks of ty
phoid fover, A. R. Lanier, of 379 Glenn-
wood avenue, saw his household effects
thrown out of the cottage he called
home, Thursday morning, whilo his
patient and suffering wife stood by,
wept and wrung her hnnds.
His rent was past due and a bailiff
from a Justice court obeyed the sum

And while her treasured household
effects remained In the street and wero
drenched by a heavy rain, Lanier
moaned feebly on his bed—tho only
piece of furniture loft In the house—
and Mrs. Lanier tried to comfort him
and ease his pain.
Tho story of the Laniers Is a sad
one. It Is one that ought to melt even
the heart of a Justice court bailiff. But
It didn’t. ... , .,
Until he wo. stricken with typhoid

If only given a llttlo time. I begged
the bailiff not to drive my sick hus
band out into the street and undo nil
the work of eleven weeks. But ho tore
up my matting before my eyes and
threw my furniture Into the street.
Lanier Is Just recovering and is so
weak he cannot walk without assist-

off the bed. but that he was too weak
to remain off nnd that he wns com
