SALOONKEEPERS
Real Estate Men Turn Down
Applications For Busi
ness Places.
Prohibition In the state of Georgia
will not empty many place; of busi
ness In Atlanta for any gTeat length of
lime, according to the views of promi
nent real estate and other business
men who do business In this city.
Although the leases on many of the
places of business now occupied by
whisky men have not yet been disposed
of, the indications at present are that
within a short while after the first of
January only a few of the less advan
tageously located business houses will
remain unoccupied. It Is admitted that
the rental may not be so large at first,
but that they will be rented Is a fore
gone conclusion.
Two applications for places of busi
ness on Broad street by the first of
January have already been received by
S. B. Turman & Co., the real estate
dealers.
“These applications,” said Mr. Tur
man, "are from wholesale fruit and
produce dealers now doing business In
south Georgia. They state that they
prefer to be located on Broad street,
• but as yet we have been unable to se
cure places for them.
“It Is the opinion of people outside
of Atlanta that rents are going to be
cheaper after the first of next year,
and so long as they entertain that opin
ion they are going to make an effort
to get located In Atlanta.”
That there will not be a vacant whis
ky house on Peters street, at least. Is
the opinion of J. B. Smith, of the firm
of Smith & Higgins, 264 Peters street.
“There are about nineteen saloons on
Peters street,” said Mr. Smith Thurs
day, "and I do not believe that there
will be the slightest trouble In rent
ing them. I have a little space about
ten feet wide adjoining our store which
about fifty people have come and In
spected with a view to renting. About
the only thing It Is good for Is a barber
shop, and consequently nobody has ta
ken It yet.
“I believe that every one of these
nineteen stores now occupied by saloon
men will be taken by grocery and fur
niture dealers In 1908. In times of
prohibition there Is a greater demand
for these articles and dealers are go
ing to get ready to supply the de-
mand.” ,
Just across the street from Mr.
Smith’s store Is a' one-story brick
building now occupied by a saloon and
u restaurant. This building, It Is said,
will be torn down and replaced by a
handsome two-story brick building
which will be used ns a furniture store.
On Decatur street, according to Mr.
Smith, a building now occupied by a
saloon has been eccured and In Its
I laco a new bank will be Installed Just
ns soon as practicable.
GAIN HOME RULE
Washington. Aug. 29.—Secretary
James Wilson, of the department of ag>
rlculture. who has been In the West
looking over the forest reserves, has
returned to Washington optimistic
over the prospect as he saw it in hlB
travels through a number of states.
“The people of the West." said Sec
retary' Wilson, “are not fearful of a
panic or of hardy times. The West Is
prosperous. There Is plenty of money.
In fact. I have reason to believe the
West la loaning money to the East, In
stead of East to the West. And this
Is being done at good, rates «of Interest.
The people of the West are not worry

They' scarcely know such troubles ex

newspapers. The rest of the country' it

AUTO ROBBERS
BLOW UP STORE
AND LOOT P. 0.
New York, Aug. 29.—Daring automo
bile robbers, who have long defied the
police, startled the residents of Heli
port, L. I., early today by dynamiting
the postoffice and a general store ad
joining and looting both places. They
escaped in their machine. '
It Is known that they got away wlttt
$1,000 in stamps and cash, but upon
further investigation It is believed the
amount will be found to be much larger.
As both the postofllce and store were
completely wrecked, by the explosion,
the full extent of the robbery can not

did hear on the subject was to the ef
fect that the renomination and re-elec
tion of President Roosevelt was de

the people will demand the election of u
man who will continue the Roosevelt
politics."
Washington. Aug. 29.—The people
refuse to abandon the Idea that Roose

“favorite sons" they nurture the hope
that the present occupant of the white
house will be the next also.

HIS ANNUAL JAG
RIGHT ON TIME
When Acting Recorder. Councilman

a look of puzzled recognition came
across his face.
“How long since you were here?*' he

"That’s right,” said Officer Rowan.
•Here's a letter from his wife aaklng

like that about once a year. He’s a
good workman and makes good money
at his trade. He goes ten or twelve
months without taking a drink, taking
care of his money and supporting his
family in good shape. Then he breaks
out, and the only way to stop his spree
Is to lock him up. He's been on this

The prisoner nodded approval

bert W. Shreerer, of Chicago. April 4,
For three nights Liicle'Brandon, the
fourteen-year-old daughter, of Mrs.
Rose Brandon, has been followed home
ork by two negroes who;
on Wednesday night,, grew so bold |hat
one of (hem accosted her within a half
block of her own home.
Screaming, the girl ran down the
street and Into the house. Jt was sev
eral minutes before she could tell what
had happened, and when a search Was.
made for the negroes they had disap
peared.
It was last Monday night that the
girl observed two. negroes,. who were
standing at Marietta and Bartow
streets, fall In behind Her and walk
within a short distance of her all the
way to her home at 42 Tlfton street.
Sometimes they wete so close behind
her that she could hear their conver
sation, but Invariably when she ap
proached some one coming In the op
posite direction, they drew some dis
tance behind.
Tuesday night this was repeated,
and they were even bolder. She spoke
of tho Incident at home, but no one
thought It was more than a co-lncl-
dence that the same negroes should be
walking In the same direction at the
same time two nights In succession.
When she met them at the same cor
ner Wednesday night, however, she
was alarmed. She quickened or slack
ened her pace, so that she would not
be for from other people going In the
same direction, but the negroes kept
close to her. She wrs alone when she
turned Into Tlfton street, and almost
Immediately one of the negroes
stepped up boslde her and spoke to
her. She doesn’t know what he said—
she was too frightened. She screamed
and began to run, and In a couple of
minutes was in her home, breathless
and greatly exalted.
Mrs. Brandon reported the matter to
the police and gave them a good de
scription of the men. She said her
daughter passed the corner of Mari
etta and Bartow at 0 o'clock every
night and the men were there before
her. The police will watch the cor
ner with the hope of capturing them.
HOTEL MEN LEAVE
FOB COOLER CLIME
But Assistants Hold Down
Big Hostelries Just
the Same. .
Hotel men In Atlanta often leave the
city to take trips. When they do, their
assistantii are In charge, of course,
and thlhgs run smoothly.
B|U |t,.|s qot often , that every ho
tel manager In Atlanta ts away at the
same time. That was the case a short
time ago. Some of'them are still
away, and . when they get back they
will find their' assistants have been
strenuoueiy- on the Job,
The first to shako ths dusty dust of
Atlanta from his patent leathers and
hie himself hence to cooler climes was
Manager H. N. Dutton, of the Pied
mont. He Is now In Vermont, enjoy
ing the cool breezes of New England
and while lie Is away his assistant
Herbert N. Mason, Is on the Job.
Is on It so well that the Piedmont Is
running In as good shape as ever.
Is making as good a manager as he Is
assistant.
.Will V...Zimmer was the. next
realise thnt Atlanta ?s a betted winter
than summer resort, and he Is still of
that opinion, for he hasn't returned
And In the'meantlme genial Joe Burns
Is the main aqueexe and Is seeing that
the Kimball Is holding up Its repu
tation.
Soon after these two managers left,
J. Lee Barnes, of the Aragon, decided
It was time he was getting his, and
he left, leaving his assistant, Jesse
Couch, In charge. Mr. Couch is show
ing that he can manage a hotel
well as the next man. and folks don't
know the manager Is away.
Ralph VanLandingham, of the Ma
jestic, left, too, and Sam Pegramheld
down the Job In true managerial fash
ion, D. H. Scovllle, of the Marlon,
left L. F. Higginbotham and J. F. de
Jnrnntto running things as smoothly as
they ever ran, und the guests had no
kick coming.
In fact, everything ran In all the hotels
In excellent fashion, and as far as the
management went, folks wouldn't have
known the managers were not on their
7obs.
