Christens Babes.
In addition to his being a fine eleven-
pound baby and the namesake of Hon.
James L. Mayeon, candidate for con
gress, a baby who came Into this world
on October 4 has an unusual claim to
distinction—not so much because of
himself an on account of Dr. J. W.
Carmichael, who played the stork.
Young Mr. Calloway Is the twenly-
four-hundredth baby that Dr. Car
michael. who. for brevity, might be
called "The Stork." haa assisted to en
ter this world. They were all white
babies and all Atlantans. A record of
their birthdays would make a good cal
endar of the twenty-five yeare of this
particular etnrk's practice, only there
would be about three times too many
days to the year.
Dr. Carmichael le also a minister and
he has frequently assisted at the wed
ding of a couple and later at the birth
of their young hopeful. Once he car
ried It aa far as the baptizing.
Bad Bipod

tans to begin life.

babies. Dr. Carmichael Is ratHer well
qualified to talk upon race suicide, the
feminine peril, the alleged delicate
health of womankind and kindred sub
jects.
That there Is no evidence of race
suicide In Atlanta, Dr. Carmichael pos
itively affirms. The babies are coming
Just as fast as the population Is grow
ing. he says. If there Is any falling off
In the/number of babies It le due to a
decrease In the marrlagp rate.
Mora boys are born than girls, he
states, but this does not give much
hope to those who fear the feminine
peril, as boy babies stand leas chance
of surviving the hardships of babyhood
than girls. This apparently refutes
former beliefs concerning feminine
health.
In his twenty-five years of stork
work Dr. Carmichael haa assisted at
the birth of one set of triplets. They
waa a relative of Henry Grady. Just a
few years ago Dr. Carmichael per
formed the wedding ceremony for this
young man, In this way reversing his
usual process. About eighteen years
ago the stork assisted at the birth of a
girl and Just a few days ago he attend-
•d upon the birth of her son.
Dr. Carmichael knows the very first
history of so many young peopla that he
can hardly turn a corner In Atlanta
without seeing some one whom he un
doubtadly "saw first."

the telephone company not taken out

Richmond, Va., Oct. 13.—The Angtl
can chgreh In America celebrated 10'
day the holy eucharlst, the most solemn
rite of its ritual, in the very spot where
three hundred ytara ago Oood Master
Robert Hunt made the first communion
In the New World, according to the
rites of the English branch of the prim.
Itlve church.
Gathered around the ruined tower,
6,000 convention pilgrims worshiped
God and paid tribute to the memory of
Robert Hum and the godly men who
laid the foundation of this American
church.
Four big boats bore the pilgrims to
Jamestown Island. The convention waa
the guest of the diocese of southern
Virginia The Woman’s Auxiliary en
tertained a party on one boat, while
the general public cheerfully paid their
fares ami went on tha fourth boat.
The preamble, as amended and adopt,
ed by the house of deputies, reads as
follows:
"This American church, first planted
In Virginia In the year n! 1607 by rep
resentatives of the ancient church of
England, acknowledging the Holy Scrip
tures of the Old and New Testaments
to be tha Word of Ood and record of
God's revelation of Hlmaslf In His Hon,
and to contain all things nacessatv to

Rumor haa It that tha house of depu.
ties will refuse to concur In this adop
tion.
Tomorrow the convention will gt

being no specific exercises.

by City Attorney Mayson and |s about
aa stringent as the city charter and the
code win permit.
Councilman Taylor with other* Is
tired of abandoning hla business to at
tend meetings of committees, many of
them Important, and then not havo a
quorum at these committees. Tho loss
of time and trouble he considers un
necessary and unjust.
The ordinance committee, than which
there la none more Important, has been
having a number of Important papers
before It for weeks, and haa been un
able to consider any of them because of I
the seeming Impossibility to got a
quorum of the committee at a meeting.
It has become so that at the last ses
sion of council Alderman Curtis made a
special request that an Important paper
that he advocated should not go to the
ordinance committee.
For seven months. council and the
water board have been wrangling over
the Important question of a pump.
Finally a strenuous effort to have coun
cil authorise the special commlttae and
the water board to advertise for new
[bids was successful.
Pump Matter Delayed.
I Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock was the
time aet for getting the committee and
the board together to act on the pump
matter, and although notice* were sent
the members of both the board and the
council and bath telephones were used,
It was utterly Impassible to get the
necessary quorum.
Those who had come went away, and
not in a very pleasant humor. Another
effort to secure a quorum will be made
and a meeting has been called for 4
o'clock ftext Tuesday afternoon.
Councilman Taylor's resolution Is cal
culated to put a stop to this negligence
by several members of council who thus
postpone important legislation.
BlcknesS and absence from the city
are the only two things tha^ will t)« ac
cepted as suitable excuse* In the caso
of absence from committee meetings.
Th* Proposed Penalty.
■The ordinance provides that absence
Ifrom three suceeralve meetings by a
committee member amounts to his res
ignation from that committee and upon
notification that auch a member nas
been absent from three meetings the
mayor Is authorized to appoint his suc
cessor,' If It Is an appointive place, or If
lelective, council I* authorised to elect |
his successor.^!
Goes to Newellton, Where,
It Is Reported, Big
Game Exists.
Practically all important papers are
referred to committees and these com
mittees, after Investigation, make their
reports to council. It la very seldom
that council falls to accept and adopt
the reports of committee*.
As a committee member, therefore, a
ouncilman ha* more power and au
thority than In council and most of the
councllmen feel It a great honor to be
ing te Important committee*.
If Councilman Taylor's ordinance doss
not hit the mark It Is probable that
tven more stringent ltglalatlon will be
adopted later.
"I am getting .good and tired of all
this negligence." stated a member of
the general council.
“My ordinance will fix It," replied
Councilman Taylor.
