"Did you receive your business edu cation at the Southern Shorthand and Business University? If not, I cannot give you employment." That was the question propounded by a prominent business man to an appli cant for a position, and while this question is not put directly to all ap plicants for positions, it Is generally understood that .the Southern's stu dents are more competent, hence are In greater demand and command bet ter salaries than students of other schools.

Chief Joyner woke up to a reali zation that he had won the mayor alty of the city which he had serv ed so long and efficiently by a mere eyelash. The folks wanted something besides personality. They wanted principle. Goodwin represented that principle. .Mr. Goodwin followed in the footsteps of another young man— James L. Key. Mr. Key had run for mayor on a previous occasion. He said afterwards that the time for his platform was inopportune, lie was defeated. He took his de feat philosophically. He came back to the people and asked them to elect him an alderman. One of the most popular and one of the strongest men in the city offered for the same job. But Mr. Key got it. The people liked his V r *u- ciplcs. How it Con bo Done. Mr. Key had told the people, and la telling them to thla good day, that they have enough machinery at the water-works plant to equip an electric lighting plant to be owned by the city. He la telling the people that the city la apendlng with the Georgia Railway and Electric Company about $110,000 annually for lightning the atreeta. He la Inflating that about half of tjils $110,000 could be aaved by ualng the power out there at the pumping ata- tlon. He la telling the people that cnndulte ure already under the atreeta, which are owned by the people. Theae condulta are being uaed by the cor poration!. But the city wisely re served the right to use these conduits. There Is nothing to prevent the city from running wires through therii. • Mr. Key la Insisting that the city might even be In position to atrlng wires on the poles which are already In the atreeta. He la not quite clear on thla point. But If the city couldn't. It would be an easy matter to put up a few polea for heraelf; that in, If the Georgia Railway and Electric <Com pany refuaed to sell the polea already up. preferring to decorate the street corners. Of course the company likes to decorate street corners, both with light and poles—for a consideration. Furnish Light to Individuals. Then the people might be benefited In their homes. After the atreeta were lighted the city could go ahead nnd furnish light for residences. It might mean an enlargement of the plant, but that would be easy. There are several reasons why the citizen would rather deal with Its employees than with private corporation—thnt la, aside from the financial gain. Arbitrary la strong word, but It Is the only one to be used in this connection. Here are couple of examples: Ralph Van Lundlngham Is the pro prietor of the Majestic hotel. A lot of eople know Mr. Van Landlngham hey know him to be a reasonable business man. Everybody knows the Majestic hotel. They know It to be a very excellent hotel. It has electric lights. Formerly this electricity was supplied by the Georgia Railway and Electric Company; but not any more. Mr. Van Landlngham'a contract was about to expire. The Georgia Railway and Electric Company people wanted him to renew for a longer time than ho had a lease on the Majestic hotel. Very naturally he refused. They told him they would give him five minutes to decide. He decided In one minute— NOT TO SION THE CONTRACT. And Off Went the Light. That was at seven minutes to 7 o’clock. Just at the dinner hour. The women were In their rooms dressing. Three of them were using curling tongs. Some of the men were shaving; others were trying to knot ties correct ly. At six minutes to seven there was a little clicking sound, and out went the lights. Feminine screams and masculine something else filled the air. Mr. Van Landlngham was busy ex plaining for half an hour. When his guests learned the reason, they trans ferred their rage to the Georgia Rail way and Electric Company. Oas Jets that had grown rusty from disuse were lighted. Candles were dragged out. And they somehow made out. Mr. Van Landlngham was obdurate about the contract. The Georgia Rail way and Electric Company people were obdurate. They owned the gas plant. Mr. Van Landlngham had to have light. What was he going to do about It? He showed them. In a remarkably short time the Majestic had a private electric lighting plant. Then the Oeor- the plant. Mr. Van Landlngham didn’t care to sell. He is using his private plant. He owns It. At Corporation's Mercy. E. W. Allen & Co. operate a print ing establishment on Alabama street. They use a lot of electricity. One day the meter caught fire from being short circuited, or the wires getting crossed, or something like that. The meter was melted. Application was made for i new meter so that power might con tlnue to be supplied. The company was told that its meter had been melted by Its wires and that E. W. Allen & Co. was .not to blame. The Georgia Railway and Electric Company refused to replace the meter until the old one had been paid for. What are you going to do about It? was their attitude, Mr. Allen hail to have power, or shut down his business, so he paid for the meter. There are other Instances, AND THE CITIZENS KNOW IT. Then there Is the gas plant. If you decide that you don’t like the Georgia Railway and Electric Company and are not going to use Its electricity, why the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany doesn't care. You will have to use Its gas. It owns the gas plant, What are you going to do ubout THAT? Let City Own Gas Plant. Mr. Key says you ought to own your gas plant. So do a lot of other people, for that matter, but they are not aider- men, and they can’t get up In the council chamber and throw It In the teeth of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company. Mr. Key can, and does. The Georgia Railway and Electric Company officials and lawyers claim they have a perpetual charter for the gas company. They assert that the city has absolutely nothing to do with Its frarfchlse. City Attorney Mayson hns disagreed with them to an extent. So have other people. But the Ignor ance of the people simply pains the Georgia Railway nnd Electricity Com pany. They assert that the franchise was granted in 1856. They point out that the state legislature granted It and thnt the city of Atlanta, then i little village, was not taken Into con slderaiop. They don’t say much about the fact that this franchise was grant ed for the manufacture and sale of gas for ILLUMINATING purposes. They don't call attention to the fact that this franchise was granted for the manufacture and sale of gas for IL LUMINATING purposes In the CITY OF ATLANTA AND NOT IN FULTON COUNTY. The limits of Atlanta wen small In 1856. They have been ex tended considerably since that time* The franchise grant hasn't been ex tended BY THE CITY along with the limits. BUT THE GAS COMPANY HAS DONE THE EXTENDING. Liberal Use of Watar in Stock. The Georgia Railway and Electric Company doesn’t say anything about the fact that a duplicate of the present plant eould be erected for $500,000 to be OPERATED AND OWNED BY THE CITY. The learned lawyers don't tell the people thnt the present gas company has stocks and bonds out standing against It for $2,600,000, and that IT PAYS HANDSOME DIVI DENDS ON THAT $2,600,000. Neither do these learned lawyers tell the people that FOUR-FIFTHS OF THE VALUE OF THAT INVESTMENT IS REPRE SENTED RY THE FRANCHISE WHICH THE PUBLIC FURNISHES. RUT IT IS A FACT. Municipal ownership Is not a new thing In Atlanta. As far back as 1892, FOURTEEN YEARS AGO, a commit tee of council ascertained that the city was paying $55,000 a year for 305 arc lights and 614 Incandescent lights. That committee made the following re commendation: Urged Municipal Ownership. "We think $55,000 per annum Is a large sum to be paid for this service, and yet the people must have more light. The question Is how to obtain the most light and the best service for the smallest outlay. We think our successors SHOULD EXAMINE CAREFULLY WHETHER IT WILL NOT RE ECONOMY FOR THE CITY TO OWN AND CONTROL A PLANT and furnish lights for street purposes from the same. • • • • "In conclusion we would state that wre are Impressed with the conviction that the city should own Its ELECTRIC PLANT, nnd we ask our successors to examine Its feasibility carefully AT ONCE, so as to HAVE THE WORKS READY FOR LIGHTING THE CITY BY THE EXPIRATION OF THE CONTRACT IN FEBRUARY, 1895. (Signed). "J. D. TURNER, Chairman. “C\ E. MURPHY. “J. M. STEPHENS.’ That was fourteen years ago. There Is no record that we have been able find of such an examination. Rut years later, or In 1898, w hen James Woodward, the nresent mayor of WANTS TO RAISE THE PAY , OF PRESIDENT TO SI 00,000 By Private Leased Wire. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 1.—Representative Maynard, in a speech In Ports mouth last night, said that he wanted a bill passed by congress Increas ing the president's salary to $100,000. Under the present system, he said, of special appropriations the preatd ent receives nearly $250,000 annually. He thought the $100,000 enough for all purposes.

Key Saturday at the meeting of the finance commit tee held In the mayor's parlors. This as a rojolnder to the remnrk of AldAr- man Peters, who said: "I am afraid that this report will cause trouble In the police board." He was referring to the recommendatl of the ployment of 40 extra officers. The meeting of the finance committee was one of the spiciest held for some time. Alderman Key, who throughout has been the backbone of the civil ser vice movement, hit a blow while the antl-civll service people were asleep and succeeded In carrying out suc cessfully his coup d’etat. It was well known thnt the matter of selecting the new policemen would be a feature of the appropriation, but the party which hus up until the pres ent time fought successfully the civil service laws, seemed to overlook the possibility of their opponents scoring a substantial point. When Mr. Key suggested the word ing of the report. It fell ns a bomb shell around several of the commit teemen. Mr. Peters then showed fight and for a time warm words were ex changed, after which the above report was drafted, Mr. Peters still objecting. City Work in Bad Condition. The opinion that the city work Is In a deplorable condition because of the scarcity of labor was freely expressed at the meeting. The subject arose over the appropriation for certain * sewers and pavings. The city officials report thnt It Is Impossible to get labor, even at Increased wnges. Throughout the city there are streets In condition such ns to require Imme diate attention. The property owners are appearing at every meeting of the finance and the streets committees and many declare that they are willing to have the work done at their own ex pense and let the city pay back later. Others state that the work Is Impera tive, but nothing can be done because of the scarcity of labor. Piedmont Park "Touched.” The $5,000 appropriation made foe Piedmont park Is being steadily de- reased by outside matters. The strin gent conditions surrounding the flnanco of the city, or rather the lack of ready money until the October apportion ment Is made out. Is causing this appropriation to be made a scape-gout for every purpose. At the session of the finance com mittee held Saturday $2,000 was taken from the appropriation for the Eighth ard school, so that the grounds may be graded and In condition ns soon after school opens as It Is possible. It was recommended by the committee that $500 he taken from the appropria tion to pay wages at Grant park. cd, there were two sentences at the end of the ballot. Those sentences were: • municipal ownership of an electric lighting plant" nnd "Against the mu nicipal ownership of an electric light ing plant." The little sentence which declared IN FAVOR OF A MUNICIPAL PLANT received some 250 more votes than did the one AGAINST municipal owner ship. And that was the end of It, ex- ept for spasmodic agitation. Waterworks Is Profitable. The waterworks Is municipally own- d. It Is not only self-sustaining, but pays the city a handsome profit every year. This profit helps to lower the tax rate. The gas plant was self-sustain ing In the good old days when the city ned the gas plant. Those profits were used to help lower the tax rate. All the other utilities would be not only self-sustaining, but would bear handsome profits. Those profits would help lower 'the tax rate. Municipal ownership is going to be tried In Atlanta. The people want It; they believe In It. The corporations use the argument of graft In public office If municipal ownership and operation Is tried. It Is 'contended thnt the city Is Just ns capable of employing honest officials ns are the corporations. And contended that the city Is Just as capable of securing competent men. Other American cities are doing It. If those officials become arbitrary or gouge the people, the people can fire them out. But under the PRESENT system the people c’AN’T. WHAT ARK YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? FOR £|E NEGROES Conductors Arc Said To Be Keeping Tab on Num ber of Blacks. Public sentiment Is working wonders in the inner circles of the Georgia Rail way and Electric Lighting Company, and, If the rumors afloat are as true as they are pleasing, before long there will be trailers In which the “colored gentry" can have full sway. AH the conductors on the car lines having a large negro patronage have received orders to keep tab on the number of negroes from whom they collect fare and to report the same to the office of the street railway com pany. If the number of negro patrons warrants, trailers will be put on these lines. When called upon Saturday Vice President Thomas K. Glenn rc fused the perogatlve of the newspaper man nnd would not be Interviewed. Mr. Glenn sent word that he was in session with several of the other railroad officials and could not be seen before Monday morning at 9 o'clock. It Is probable that this long meeting of the railroad officials will ‘..ear fruit In the way of trailers. AT THE AUCTION SAM OF 34 SIRABLE LOTS, TUESDAY, SEPTl BER 4th, AT 11:30 A.

GOV. FOLK REFUSES TO ATTACK JEROME By Private leaned Wire. New York, Sept. I.—Governor Folk, of Missouri, has to be careful here. There are a lot of people who want him to say sharp things about District Attorney Jerome, because Jerome criti cised Folk when he was sending bood- lers to Jail. "I have only the kindliest feeling for Mr. Jerome." said the governor. "I like him. I feel very kindly toward . him. I would not think of saying any- bury, where he received the thing haAh ubout him, even if I could.'" I WEREN'T SEPARATED The body of John McLendon, who died at Salisbury, N.

He and Mrs. McLendon, together with their children, visited relatives on Woodward avenue in Atlanta recently, and he then accompanied them to Macon to visit hie brothers.
