About Your Future
Do you know anything about it? Have you
any idea what is to become of you when old age
creeps on you, or in case some sickness‘ or acci
dent should, be visited upon you 1 ?
If you have given the matter much thought
you certainly have determined to do the right thing
by yourself—to judiciously lay aside a part of your
earnings. If you are an intelligent man or woman,
you will give the matter serious consideration.
We hope that this consideration will lead to
your opening an account with us.

RECORDER PLAYS SHERLOCK
AND GETS UNIQUE REWARD
MH8. GARDNER AND HER BROOD.
The baby in the center ie Recorder Broyles Gardner, named in honor
of Atlanta's police judge. • •
New’hoitor and distinction has been
thrust upon Recorder Nash ftroylea—
of the brand usually monopolised by the
president of the United States. Be haa
a chubby, roay-cheeked little name*
rake—a North Carolina baby now bears
the name of the celebrated police judge.
And thereby hangs an Intoreattng
•tory.
About two montha ago Judga Broylea
received a letter from Mrs. Minnie
- Gardner, then living In Florida, In which
she explained that her husband had
kidnaped five of her children, getting
safely away with all of them.
"I have heard so much of you. Judge
Broylea and It sesms you arc able to do
so much, that I just thought I would
write and ask you -to help-one get my
children back. I didn’t know what elso
to do. If you’ll try, judge, I believe
you can And my children for me,” sho
wrote,
the recorder. But as Ije
ard'of.Mra, pajdner hefoj-o
touched
never hi _ „„ .
knew nothing of the-kidnaping, and aa
the scene of action was so far removed
from Atlanta, he felt that the confi
dence In him was misplaced. However,
■he thought he would make h try, so he
told the story of the letter to a Geor
gian reporter and asked him to publish
the story, thinking'this might lend to a
clew.
And It did. *
The Georgian's story was seen by a
man In Havannah, who wrote to Judge
Broyles and told him that Gardner anil
This Information was communicated by
the recorder to Mrs. Gardner In Florida,
.who hastened to Bavannah.
Thorn, sure enough, she recovered her
children and had her husband arrested.
With her reunited family, Mrs. Gard
ner then went to the home of relatives
In Rope Hill, N. C., whero shs Is now
living.
And then she hit upon a unique way
of expressing her gratefulness-cehs
named her baby hoy after Judge
Broyles.
The recorder received a letter Wed
nesday morning from Mrs. Gardner no-
Ing him of the new distinction—also
a ^photograph' at the mother and six
shlltf '
ilidren, which Mrs. Gardner had posed
ipedally for her unseen benefactor.
In the letter the fond mother wrote:
‘Judge Broylee, I want my own little
‘Recorder Broyles’ to grow up to be just
as great and good a man aa you are.”
MRS. GABBETT’S LAWSUIT
OUTLIVED ITS PLAINTIFF
By decision of the stale supreme
court on Wednesday, the dty of Atlan
ta must defend In superior court a
, damage suit brourht by the late Mrs.
‘Sarah E. Gabbett against the city.
The supreme court reversed the Ful
ton superior court, and the case goes
back to that court for trial on Its mer
its. «• ■ ,
Mrs. Gabbett owned a piece of prop
erty between Bedford place and But-
ler-st, near Plne-st, thru which the
city of Atlanta constructed a sewer
In IMS. More than a year ago she
brought suit against the dty. claim
ing that her property had been dam
aged to the extent of 1500 a year since
ISIS, because at times of heavy rains
the sewage backed up and overflowed
her property, making it unlit for use.
- she amended the bill, claiming
1500 for rent of the ground for the
four years Immediately preceding, and
asking damages of 13.000. The city
filed a demurrer, denying the right to
amend the bill. The superior court
sustained the demurrer and ordered the
suit dismissed. Appeal waa taken, and
the supreme court ruled that the su
perior court erred In sustaining the de
murrer. Now the amended bill will be
tried on Ita merits In the court below.

FEDERAL PENSIONERS GET
Majority of the Democrats Vote
for the Sherwood Dollar-a-
Day Pension Bill.
Washington, Dec. 13c—HOw the two
political parties will bo affected by the
passage of the Sherwood service pen
sion bill by the house yesterday can
not yet be determined. Only eight of
the Republican members voted against
the measure, while 84 Democrats reg
istered their disapproval of the addi
tional expenditure. Underwood and
Fltstereld both voted with the minority
and warned their Democratic colleagues
of tho step they wore taking. Champ
Clark, (he Democratic speaker, cast his
voto with the majority.
Socretary of the Interior Fisher, has
estimated that the bill will add 575,000,-
000 to the pension roll If all the vet
erans eligible take advantage of It.
fit
The Sherwood bill would establish
the following basis of pensions:
For service for 00 days to six months,
515 per month; Worn six to nine months,
530 per month; from nine rrtonths to ono
year, 535 per month; more than one
year, 530 per month.
The light on the bill was waged along
political lines to a considerable extent
and members of each party charged the
other party with buncombe In their at.
tltude_ toward the old soldiers. Promt
nent Democrats attacked ths bill as dl
rectly opposed to the Democratic prin
ciples of economy and destructive of
plans to reduce the tariff.
Chairman Fltsgerald, of the appro
priations committee, fought It because
of Us tremendous draught on the treas
ury. Representative Harrison, of Now
York, a leading Democrat on the ways
and means committee, declared that the
bill “knocks In the face all pretensions
tiiade by the • Democratic party In the
last campaign.”
The bill now will go to the senate,
where there 1* a disposition to pass
some form of amended service pensions.
Senate leaders, however, will proceed
slowly In the consideration of this leg
islation and many house Democrats
voted for the measure In the belief that
the senate wduld not pass It.
The Sulloway age pension bill passed

by the house last spring tailed
age In the senate at that time. This
Republican measure was offered unsuc
cessfully In the house as a substitute
for the Sherwood bill. Scores of amend
ments were offered and a hard, but un
successful, light was made to have a
straight 31-a-day pension bill estab
lished .without regard to length of serv
ice of the veterans.

It's “move on” now for the street
corner mashers.
This Is the mandate of the police
commission. Issued at the regular meet-
Beaversand the police department have
been Instructed to enforce.
The action of the commission means
that the loafers and ifiashers—ths
street corner johnnies who ogle women
In ths crowded downtown shopping dis
tricts—must disperse and keep on the
move, else they will have to carry on
a little Involuntary flirtation with Re
corder Broyles. ,
Police commissioners took not# of
the mashers thru a lettsr read to the
commission by Commissioner B. Lee
Smith. This letter was written by a
citizen who explained that he has made
a close study of. the situation and has
found It disgusting, demanding prompt
and vigorous police attention.
"It has become Impossible for a pret
ty, and attractive woman to walk the
rlmvnIrttvh sfroAlg" Ha ivrnfn
downtown streets,” he wrote, "without
being glared nt, Insulted or talked
about by these pests.” ,
The commissioners heartily agreed
with the sentiment of the letter, and
directed that special efforts be made to
curb the mashers and put a quietus on
their obnoxious conduct.
The agitation for (ewes arrests In
Atlanta also capie to a head Tuesday
night In definite action by the commis
sion. This wns a recommendation to

tigator he appointed for the police 'de
partment, whose duty lt will be to care

offleera and before they are docketed
for trial.' The Investigator will pass on
the merits pf the case, determining
whether M has sufficient merit' to go
before the courts.
He win act In the nature of a court
himself, for If he decides that a case ta
trivial and not worthy of trial, he will
dismiss It himself without It going on

manv frivolous cases will be kept off
