LITTLE DOOLEJ IS LOST;
PAPA COMES TO CLAIM HIM
County Policeman Tom Davis got a
hurry call to Kirkwood avenue Tues
day morning. He ahovod his pistol In
one pocket and his handcuffs In another
and set forth.
A squalling boy of three yenra waa
what he found. The little fellow, a
stranger, had been picked up by resi
dents In that section who were at a
loss to know what to do with him.
At the sight of the officer's brass but
tons the youngster quit crying. Offi
cer Davis picked him up, brushed away
his tears and began a cross-examina
tion:
••Who's boy are youT"
••Papa’s."
.."Where do you liver
"Home.” >
"What’s your name!”
"Dooley.”
"Dooley what?"
"Dooley."
Further testimony developed the fact
that he was there because he had "Just
come," that lie wanted to go homa nnd
that he lived In n house.
Policeman Davis was Instructed by
Chlof Turner to take the boy to the
police station to await tho arrival of
"papa.” Under the care of Mrs. Holme-
feld, the matron, "Dooley Dooley" spent
a pleasant morning playing with tha
station house cat.
Later Mr. Sullivan, residing at the
corner of Cameron street and Kalb
avenue, came to the station and said
Donley waa his property, and took tho
youngster away with him.

A movement to establish a boys' club
In Atlanta has been Inaugurated by W.
O. Foote, of the Foote & Davies Co.,
and although no definite action has yet
boon taken, the movement ts taking
shape and Mr. Foote and others who
are associated with him ore receiving
much encouragement.
Mr. Foote's determination to organ
ize a boy's club In Atlanta for the ben
efit of the little fellowe who spend most
of their time on the street, came after
an Investigation of the police records
of the city which show that approx
imately 800 white boys under 16 years
of age ore arrested annually for various
offensos.
Stirred to action by this alarming
fact, Mr. Foots then began an Investi
gation of the records of other cities. In
the effort to see what stops were being
taken by them In reclaiming and mak
ing useful cltlxens of these "street
Arabs" who aro permitted to run free
without let or hindrance to become
victims of Immorality and crime.
What Lynn Has Done.
At Lynn, Mass., Mr. Foote found
that three years ago a boys’ club had
been organised with fifty ’ members,
which In that time has Increased to a
membership of 1,000, nnd the boys who
wero formerly running wild on the
streets are being developed Into a very
quiet and orderly set of youthful citi
zens.
Lynn Is smaller than Atlanta, and
Mr. Foote decided thkt what might be
accomplished there might, In reason,
be accomplished here. NJ
Accordingly a meeting was called
last Monday afternoon to discuss the
necessity for such a club and tho best
methods of organization. The meeting
Was attended by Father Gunn. Dr.
Floyd McRae, Rabbi David Mnrx, Wal
ter O. Cooper, Rev. SI. L. Troutman,
Linton Hopkins, F. J. Paxon, Dr. J. W.
Lee, W. O. Foote and several others.
At that time the proposed club was
only discussed In a general way, but
tho necessity for It was frankly admit
ted by every man present, and It Is tho
:urpose of those Interested In tho mot
to coll a meeting at an early date
the purpose of taking definite ac
tion In the matter.
Atlanta Needs Club.
"The need of some such club la od
mltted," said Mr. Foote Thursday, "and

An Interesting story in connection
with the capture of President Jeffereon
Davl; of the Southern Confederacy,
after the close of the Civil War In 186!!,
during which her brother, John Bur
rows, was made a prisoner under un
usual circumstances, la told by Mrs. M.
J. Fulghcm, of Hawklnavllle, who is
In Atlanta on her first visit as the guest
of her friends, Mr. and Mrs. W. W.
Reynolds, of <7 Grant street.
The story Involves Southern grit and
wit and shows tho spirit of resentment
which many defeats caused to still
rankle In the breast of the Union sol
dier even oiler the Confederate gov
ernment had been destroyed and Its
leader made captive. *
According to Mrs. Fulghcm, her
L— I - . -r—
brother, who enlisted In the Eighth
Georgia regiment at tho ago of 16, had
Just returned homo to Hawklnavllle
after tho surrender In 18(6.
Almost at the same time President
Davis and his family were taken pris
oners at Irwlnvllle and were being
transported In wagons through the
country to Hawktnsville.
Two or three days later Mr. Bur
rows nnd a friend, Alex Smith, both of
them young Confederate soldiers but
recently mustered out, wero on tho
banks of a creek fishing about three
miles below Hawklnavllle when the
wagon train bearing the captured chief
tain and hla fumlly came In sight.
Tbs spot where the two young sol
diers were fishing was In close prox
imity to the roadside and as tho wagon
train drew up one of the Federal
guards detected them and called out In
derision:
"Well, we’ve got your old president
e wagon here.”
"Yes," called back Mr. Burrows,
a blood boiled at tho taunt, "and
e’ve got yours In hell. But If he had
“ os many men with us as you have
you you wouldn't have ours '
wagon long."
Mr. Burrows' remark shows that the
feeling of the Southerner toward Presl-
Llncotn was not as kindly as that
iht by the years after.
’ell. If that's the way you feel
stout It." retorted the guard, "you can
Just fall In behind and go along, too."
As there was no other alternative,
Mr. Burrows and Mr. Smith, some
what crestfallen, fell In line and wore
forced to march all the way to Macon,
a distance of something like slxty-flve
miles,
On arriving at Macon the two prls
oners were given a wagon nnd two
mules and wero told to go out nnd for
age. When they were a short dlstancs
from town they paid a negro |1 to take
the team back and they took the trail
for home through the Ocmulgee swamp.
"My brother told mo," said Mrs. Fu -
ghstn, “that hs expected to be killed
every night that he spent as a prisoner,
hut when they were given such a splen
did opportunity to escape he decided
that the capture was only a bluff, just
Intended to scare them a little.
"The next time my brother saw Pres
Ident Davis waa at Savannah, several
years Inter, and the former president
recognised him and spoke to him as the
man who was captured on the way to
Hawklnavllle, and who was compelled
to sleep at night under the wagon In
which the president and his family
rode."
Their sales are the largest ever known—and con
tinue increasing. Simply because their value is

behind the movement and help make It
a success. Probably 1,000 boya In At
lanta are spending nearly all of their
time upon the'streets of the city and
who never come under the influence of
anything that la moral or elevating and
who ore learning nothing but evil.
”’A club modestly conducted, where
the boys may feel at home, and whore
they will And books and papers, a gym.
nsstum and games and bathing faclll.
ties, etc, should go far toward making
happier boys and Anally better men.
This movement has been mado success,
ful In other cities and we can make It
successful In Atlanta.
"There should be nothing sectarian
or partisan about tho proposition, but
It should bo by all the people of Atlanta
for all the boys who do not know the
comforts of a home such os falls to the
lot of boys more fortunate.”
FOR NORTH SIDE
There la a dearth of Are companies
on the north side of Atlanta, and as a
result tho dtlsens living *ln that see
tlon of the city are thinking strongly
of petitioning the city council to locate
another company at some convenient
point In the unprotected territory.
At present, there are only three com
panies on the north side. One of them
Is located In the Boulevard, another In
Pryor street, near the Marlon hotel,
and another In Carnegie Way. The
last two named are situated near the
center of the city.
The city limits on the north extend
to Fourteenth street, a distance of
three miles from the^nearest lire com
pany. This arrangement leaves a por
tion of ths northern, and practically all
of tha northwestern sections of the
city at the mercy of tin, the distance
necessary to be traveled by fire com
panies rendering It a physical Impos
sibility to reach the scene of a Ore In
those sections before the flames have
gained considerable headway.
In speaking of the necessity for an,
other company on the north side, Mr.
A. A. Thornton, of 611 Peachtree street,
■aid:
"I live a mile and a half from any
lira company, and am absolutely st the
mercy of fire. There are people living
a mile .and a half beyond me who are
Just that much farther away from pro
tection.
“It Is very necessary. In order to prop,
erly safeguard our homes, that council
should locate another Are company In
our section.
"Two or three months ago the dtlsens
of the north side talked of circulating
a petition asking ' that this be done,
but the matter for tome reason was
dropped.”
The dtlsens are In earnest about the
matter, nnd It Is probable that the pe
tition will be revived.

Cheap things are not good;
Good things are not cheap”
For nearly twenty years we have striven
to sell the right goods at economic prices;
and to serve the public, in every way and
under all conditions, the best possible. Our
motto has always been, “Sell the Best” or
lose the patronage, and by a thorough adop
tion of this example we have thousands of
well pleased customers in Atlanta and
throughout the South who rely implicitly
upon our guarantee, and we will be pleased
to' have you understand that if a cheap class
of goods gets into our stock it is purely an
oversight and not intentional.
Discount Still On
Since our 25 per cent
reduction on Refrigerators
we have sold quite a num
ber of them—still have
quite a few left. On the
grade of boxes we handle
a 25 per cent reduction
means something and it
is actual economy to buy
now for next season if the
possibility is that you
need a Refrigerator now
or will need one next sea
son. So please think it
over.
Why Have Fever?
All the most eminent
physicians in the country
say that impure water or
milk create fever very
quickly. If that is the
case—don’t take the risk
—we have just received
one hundred Improved
Upright Stone Filters,
guaranteed to render the
water pure and fresh. The
price is from
$2.50
up, according to size.

lawn hose, but just as an experi
ment we will sell 1,000 feet Crown
1-2 in. hose—coupled, O-
for only Ol
per foot. Now, let’s see if you do
really care to buy a bargain.
You Know It's True

Freezer in your life and especially
a “Lightning” or “Blizzard” you
know good and well that there
is nothing made to compare with
either—don’t you need one now?
Come in, pr call us up, and you will
get prompt service.
