Resolution Is Defeated
Council, But Strong
Argument Made.
in
By a vote ot 14 to 8, the resolution by
Councilman Terrell, providing for the
appointment of a committee to appear
before the railroad eommlnlon to auk
for lo*er etreet car faree. gae and tele
phone rates, v> as lost at the meeting of
the general council Wednceday after,
noon.
THoee voting for the resolution were:
Alderman Key, Councilman Terrell and
Councilman Longlno.
Those voting against the resolution
were: Aldermen McEachern, Peters and
Curtis, and ICoundlmen Martin, Hud
dleston, Choscwood, Mnngum, Pomeroy,
Pearce, Glass, illyron, Taylor, Orant
and Hancock.
The joint committee to which the res
olution waa referred reported adversely.
Councilman Terrell offered a minority
report.
The resolution provided that the
council committee should petition the
commission to enforce a street car rate
of 8 tlckcta for a quarter: a gas rate
of !6 - cents - per thousand feat, and
lower telephone rate, baaed on the
number of subscriber! In the city. None
of the representatives of the different
corporations was present at the meet
ing.
Terrell's Arguments.
Councilman Terrell spoke In advocacy
of his resolution.
"I will not take up much of your
time," explained the councilman, "but 1
just wish to ahow you what other cities
are getting In the way of rales from
the corporations and to ahow you we
are not getting whnt we should.
"It was recently decided thet gas
should be sold In New York for 80 rents.

holder for 89.3 cents. It Is proposed to
build an entirely new gas plant ut Stat
en Island, and It Is estimated then that
It will cost 29 cents to furnish gat at
the holder.
“At Binghamton gas costs 85 cents.
At Lon Angeles the rate Is 80 cents.
And from Henry Clews’ guide that dur
ing the war In New York by competing
gas companies that gas waa furnished
at 65 cents In 1899 and 1900, and the
companlee then earned 6 1-2 and 6 per
cent dividends.
Once Cost 50 Cents.
"In Atlanta here we once lmd 50-cent
gas, and although the company went In
the hande of a receiver. It was not be
cause of the cheapness of gas, as every
body knows, but because of an off-color
mortgage deal. In Duluth the rate Is 76
centa. In Louisville It la 75 cents for
heat and power and 81 for lighting pur
poses. In Milwaukee the rate Is 80
cents.
"The high rate for gas la not my only
complaint. The railroad commission
should require the meters to be sealed
and kept In order and read properly.”
Councilman Terrell took up the tele
phone rates and telephone service,
charging that the rates were too high
and the service was nothing short of
miserable. He then took a shot ut the
street car company.
"Why, In Detroit recently," he said,
"the company proposed to furnish lu
tickets for 25 cents during work hours
nnd 6 for 35 rents during other hours,
nnd to give the city 2 per cent of the
grots receipts, and the people turned It
down. They did not think this was
enough.
“In’ Cleveland the company Is fur-
nshlng 7 tickets for a quarter and ts
making money. In Baltimore the city
gets 9 per cent of the gross receipts,
which amounted to 83J7.000 last year.
Street Car Service.
"In Atlanta we don't get seats, we
don't get good service, and we hang
on by our eyebrows. I have said the
company could afford to give cheaper
service. I have shown that the com
pany declared a 25 per cent stock dlv
Idond this year, which waa nothing
In the world but wind.
"I charged repeatedly at the commit
tee meetings that this stock was noth
ing but wind, and It was never dis
puted. Nothing was paid In on the
stock and so thero was no basis for a
declaration of a dividend.
"The consumer In Atlanta has ab
solutely no voice as to the kind of qual
ity of service that Is furnished him by
these corporations, nnd as far as gas
nnd telephones go. he has nothing to say
the price.
I say, let this matter go to the rail
road commission, because It has the
power to go fully Into the matter, to
make the Investigation, to employ ex
perts. to examine the books, nnd It la
the only body In the world that does
have the power and the full authority.
"IVe represent the city of Atlanta,
and the city of Atlanta la a euatomer
of these corporations. The people are
complaining and they are turning to ua.
No Individual can afford the time, the
trouble and the expense that would
bo necessary to make the tight. Let
the city, with Its paid experts, do the
work.
1 am making this light for I believe
what I say Is true, and what 1 ask
Is right nnd Just, and If It were not
so I would have abandoned It long
ago."
Good In Resolution.
Councilman Longlno stated that he
believed some good would come out of
the resoluton tf adopted. Alder-
man Key epoke In favor of council
and the railroad commission both tak
ing up the matter of cheaper rates and
better service from these corporations.
Councilman Marlin did not believe In
going to the rallroRd commission with
this matter, but did believe that the
service of the street car company
should be Improved. Councilman Hud
dleston explained ,the reasons of the
joint committee In adverslng the reso-
:lon by Councilman Terrell.
'Mr. Gentry'." explained Councilman
Huddleston, "made a splendid showing
before the committee. It was evident
from whnt he said that the Bell Com
pany Is doing about everything possi
ble to Improve the service.
"The street car company has alwaya
shown a dlspif Itlon to deal fairly with
the city. President Arkwright Is . al
waya Just and considerate and the
service Is being Improved right along.
He has himself taken the matteg of
the regulation of his companies to the
commission."

GIRL SAYS SHE WILL WED;
MOTHER DENIES REPORT
special to The Georgian,
Augusta, Qa., Oct, 10.—Quite a sur
prise was caused here among the mem
bers of the young eociety eet by the
announcement that .Miss Dorothy Eu
genia Thompson, of this city. Is to mar
ry Lord William Trenton, of London,
England. When tho young lady herself
staled positively that the engagement
was real and that ahe expected to be
married to the nobleman next spring a
genuine thrill of excitement wax ex
perienced In social circles. •
But the sequel to the story has occa
sioned even greater comment, for the
young lady’s mother came out last
night with the positive contradiction r.t
her daughter’s statement and denied
flatly that there hoe ever been even n
probability of such a match. In the
meantime the friends of the family ore
wondering whether or not they are to
witness a real wedding of nobility In
Augusta next June.
SHE QUIT
But It Was a Hard Pull,
It l« hard to believe that coffee will
put a person In such a condition na it
did a woman of Apple Creek. Ohio.
She tells her own atory.
"I did not believe coffee caused my
trouble, and frequently said I liked it
so well 1 would not, and could not,
quit drinking It, but I waa a miserable
sufferer from heart trouble and nervous
prostration for four years.
"t was scarcely able to be around,
had no energy and did not care for
anything. Was emaciated and had a
constant patn around my heart until I
thought 1 could not endure It. For
months I never went to bed expecting
to get up In the morning. I felt
though I was liable to die any time.
"Frequently 1 had nervous chills and
the least excitement would drive sleep
away and any little noise would upset
me terribly. 1 was gradually getting
worse until finally one time It came
over me and I asked myself what's the
use of being sick all the time and buy
ing medicine so that I could Indulge
myself In coffee?
"So l thought I would see If I could
quit drinking coffee and got some
Postum to help me quit. I made It
strictly according to directions, and I
want to tell you that change was the
greatest step In my life. It was easy
to quit coffee because 1 had the Post
um which I now like better than the
old coffee. One by one the old troubles
left, until now I am In splendid health,
nerves steady, heart all right and the
pain all gone. Never have any more
nervoua chills, don't take any medicine.

"Of course,” said he, "President
Roosevelt’s speeches against the con

admit that the manipulation of rail

not always been quite tvhat It should,
but this does not detract from the se
