“The Devil’s Auction."
Charles H. Yale’s spectacular pro
duction Is announced for next Friday
and Saturday at the Grand. When
Yale originally produced his spectacle,
"Tho Devil’s Auction” was called "The
Golden Branch.” After a few years
Manager Yale christened it “The New
Devil’s Auction.” Then., came “The
Newest Devil’s Auction." and finally,
on reaching the twentieth edition. It
became "The Everlasting Devil’s Auc
tion;” as it remains today.
The visit at the Grand next Friday
will mark the twenty-sixth edition of
this famous show piece.

“Just Out of College,” the George Ade
success at the Bijou, has played to the
utmost holding of the Bijou at three
performances, and more seats have
been reserved for the remaining per
formances during the week than has
ever been recorded for another attrac
tion at any time In the history of tho
Place of amusement.
"Just Out of College” Is one of the
best bits of work to the credit of George
Ade. It deals with things that are
fresh In the minds of the people, and
is thoroughly American.
There will be the usual number of
performances during the week, and the
box office is open for business from 9
a. m. dally.

Pastime Theater.
Every audience which has attended
a performance at the Pastime Theater
this week has been delighted with the
list of attractions. Jean Beaugere, the

In order to get the views of all In
terested parties In amending and en
larging the demurrage rules of tho rail
road commission at the postponed hear
ing on September 24. Chairman Mc
Lendon Wednesday prepared a general
address to the carriers and shippers of
the state.
This subject Is arousing very great
Interest at this time, since It is a mat
ter that touches directly the Interests
of so many people. Chairman McLen
don's address Is as follows; \
September 11. 1907.
To Ihe Carriers and Shippers of Geor
gia;
Tho act of 1907 repeals tho remedial
clauses of the act of 1906, but dues not
take away from tho commission the
power to promulgate rules governing
the question of demurrage. The change
In the law Is one of great Importance
and the question of demurrage which
the carrier will be permitted to charge
on the one hand and the reciprocal
demurrage which the shipper is to have
the right to demand on the other Is
now before the commission. The ques
tion of amending and enlarging the
present rules governing the subject will
be considered at a hearing to be had
on September 24, 1907, and It Is ear
nestly desired by the eommlsslon thnt
the discussion of this question shall be
fully participated In by all parties at
Interest.

New York, Sept. 11.—The city’s $40..
000,000 4 1-2 gold bond issue was sub
scribed for more than five times over,
according to the bids that were opened
in the comptroller’s office yesterday
afternoon. More than 900 bids wera
received, 886 of which will be tabulat
ed, the others being Irregular and
therefore thrown out. Tho bids ag
firegated $207,156,420.
There were two bids for $40,000,000,
Ihe entire Issue. One was made by
what la known as tho Morgan syndl
cate. The Abraham White Bond Com
pany, composed of Abraham White and
Samuel Byerly, both of whom have won
fame as "shoestring bidders” on bonds,
akin bid on the entire $40,000,000.
Officials of the comptroller's office
say that the White Company will likely
get at least $16,000,000 if not $18,000,000.
BELIEVE AAURDERER
R. R. COMMISSION
POSTPONES ACTION
After devoting practically the entire
wenHion to a consideration of the gen
eral question of reciprocal demurf&ge.
the railroad commission took no action
In the matter Monday and continued
the hearing until September 24. There
were many prominent railroad men
present at the hearing, and the ques
tion waa thoroughly discussed.
The petition filed by the Farmers’
Union asking a special rate on com
pressed cotton was postponed for thirty
days by consent of the petitioners and
the railroads*
Inst end of waiting until bonds for the new
court house nre voted and sold, 'the county
commissioners will In nil probability at
their called meeting Thursday fix the tnx
rate at about 6.5 mills on/the dollar. This
will menu n revenue of about $460,000, of
which $100,000 will lie used to begin
building, with the provision that If bonds
nro passed nnd there Is more money on
hand next yenr than l» needed n correspond
ing reduction will be made In the tnx rate,
There Is n little chance thnt the $300,000 In
iiotids for the court house will he voted
for this year. The registration I* unusually
henry nnd ns people nre always indifferent
about bond Issues It would he*bard to get
out the two-thirds vote which Is required
by law,
The commissioners therefore nre going
nhend making tdnns to raise the money
without depending upon the Income that
limy he derived from the bonds. Colonel
Clifford Anderson, chulrinnii of the hoard.
Is of the opinion thnt It would be better to
mint* tho money nl together by til root taxa
tion extending over several years, but thnt
will be left to a vote of the people. The
nddltlounl 1.5 mills on the dollar Is not con
sidered heavy, ns the county added 2.5 mills
when the Jail was cfected a number of year*
ago. Last year the tnx rate for the county
was 5 mills and the state fax 4.8 mills. This
year tbo state will prolmhly be 5 mills nnd
the county rate 6.5. mills, making a total of
11.5 mills on the dollar, or 'a little over I
per cent, ns compared to a total of 9.8 mills
lost year.
There Is also the probability that more
than $300,000 will Ik* needed to erect the
court house, particularly If the county and
city go Into the same building. In tf.ls
