Roberts, councilman from the Eighth ward, who returned from Chicago Monday morn ing, where the league has been In ses slon. "I never saw such enthusiasm on any* subject. Municipal ownership Is the coming thing. It Is In the air. It covers the country.” Mr. Roberts was chairman of a spe clal committee of council, of which Councilman Charles Chosewood, of the Third ward, and Alderman-elect A. L. Curtis, of the First ward, were the remaining members. Commissioner of Public Works Collier and Mayor Wood ward were to have attended the con vention, but were prevented from do ing so on account of unlooked-for de mands upon their time at home. "There were between six and eight hundred delegates from all sections of the United States and Canada," con tinued Mr. Roberts. "We were In ses sion four days, during which time many speeches were made, and there was much discussion as to the best methods of governing a city. I got much valuable Information. Municipal Ownership. “But municipal ownership had the call over everything. A great major ity of the delegates were in favor of every city owning its electric lighting plant. A great many of them wanted the gas plants to be owned by the city. Then thero were many others who wanted the electric lighting plants, the gas plants and the street railways mu nicipally owned. All of these things were discussed and debated. Strong speeches were mnde for and against municipal own ership. Home of the most brilliant delegates took the side against munici pal ownership, hut the sentiment could not be downed, no matter how strong the argument. I tell you, I believe the city council of Atlanta is going to take this thing up and put It through." Mr. Roberts said he voiced the sontl- nients of many of the delegates. It Is a well-known fact that Alderman-elect Curtis Is a strong municipal owner ship man. Councilman Chosewmod has never been requested for an expression. Every member of council Is Invited to Join the Municipal Ownership League, however, and It Is believed that many of them will put themselves on rpcord uh being In the fight for the people. Ownership Man Named President. The League of American Municipali ties elected Mayor Dunne, of Chicago, Its president. Mayor Dunne la nn out and out municipal ownership man, and was elected mayor of Chicago on that platform. He has been second only tn Tom L. Johnson, mayor of Cleveland, in his fight for municipal ownership and lower charges for public utilities. The next meeting of the League of American Municipalities will be held In Norfolk, Va. It Is believed that the sentiment which pervaded the convention almost to unanimity will spread over the en tire country. The municipal ownership men are telling the people of every city Just what took place and they are pointing out that a great majority of the delegates W’ere men well seasoned In nffnlrs politically, and had seen long service as representatives of the peo pie.

The comparison was for an equal number of hours during the year. The munici pal plants supplied lights nt from one to ttvo-thlrds less than the corporation owned plants. That comparison had Its effect, for Monday morning many additional members were enrolled far the local Municipal Ownership League. An Exorbitant Charge. J. C. Zuber, a carpenter, who resides at 81 Central nvenue, called by The Georgian office and requested that he be put down ns a member of the league. "They charged m* 112 for gas one month,” said Mr. Zubar, "and 1 hnd not used any more gas than ordl narlly. I want municipal ownership and I want It soon. I am sura It would bo a great thing for the city. Wa would get a square deal." F. M. Loveless, of 22 Houston street, when sending In his application, ex pressed the opinion that the street railways should be municipally owned. He Is one of many who have expressed the same opinion. Charles A. Church, a druggist, of 79 Trinity avenue says: "Let the good work move rapidly on.” We are moving It as rapidly as pos slble. If the people will simply rise up In their might and assert them selves to aid us In this fight municipal nershlp will soon be put Into prac tice In Atlanta, and will not he a beautiful theory of which many have dreamed, hut comparatively few acted. J. H. coin, of 54 Hood street says “let us own our gns and electric lighting plants; also street railways and other public utilities." Mr. Cain Is one of those who wants to do It all at once. There are many others. Possibly ev erything could be accomplished at one fell swoop, but we arc of the opinion that It would be far better to make a beginning with an electric lighting plant for the streets. Then we could progress to a gns plant. After these hnd proved satisfactory another step could be taken, and If It was deemed practicable the city could own and op erate a street railway. We are strongly In favor of municipal control if street railways, but we are of the opinion that this In an Inopportune time to taka over tho street railways to bo owned outright. That will come In time. Hopss of 8ucoess. R. W. Gable, a claim clerk, of 176 Luckle street, says: "Here’s hoping that we succeed.” We would add that there Is no pos sibility of fnllure provided the people assert themselves. If the people only remember that time Is a great factor In these things; that the corporations are as able to organise and that time gives them an opportunity to organ ize, tho people wllf assert themselves FIRST, and SUCCEED. Charles II. Terry, a draughtsman, of 21 McDaniel street, sayi "It is Just what Atlanta needs. Push It." We ask Mr. Terry If lie has discover, ed any disposition on our part NOT to "push It?" We ARE “pushing It," and we nsk that everybody else "push It.” We link Mr. Terry to go to work and "push It." Wc are "pashlng It" much for him as for any tine else. Let tho peoplo get togthor and light their bailies In unison. If they sit quietly by Hnd wait for some tine else to "push It” It will be a long time before the people get what they want and WHAT THEY ARE ENTITLED TO. The corporations know how hard It Is to arouse the people. They are bid ing their time, thesa corporations, but quietly making preparations to meet the onslaught when It comes. If the people will only realize that they are making a light In which hundreds of thousands of dollars will lie spent to defeat their will they w ill arouse them selves and show even more Interest than they have shown already. Own All Utilities. John H. Crawley, a salesman, of 41 Eugenia street, sends In his applica tion and asserts that the city should ’all other public utilities us well aa gas and electric lighting plants." Let the city own her dispensary, too." says Jehn L. Haralson, a lawyer, of 402 Kiser building, which Is touch ing on the prohibition question. We are after the electricity and gns now. R. C. Stillman, a salesman, of 64 Wll Rams street, sent In his application as member to the League. Main- of the members whose names •e have printed have recently received metdrabte literature bearing on the municipal ownership movement. NOT e to say all till:: literature has been AGAINST municipal ownership. Reasons have been pointed out why the municipalities should no' >wn their utilities. Every known argument f which arc weak, has been used. Corporations Oppose Move. This Is not strange. The corpora tions are opposed to municipal ershlp. They have millions of dollar* light their battles. Part of their battle Is to convince the people against the people. With this end tn view bu reaus nre established all over the eoun- Pamplilets are printed nnd dis tributed broadcast. All of the dali> papers over the United States are read, and every time the name of a person favoring municipal , w nershlp I* found that person Is sent a "sample copy" of a periodical opposing municipal own ership. The municipal ownetehlp man, icing Interested In everything pertain ing to civic progn s*. reads the munici pal ownership pamphlet. For the past week it was almost useless to tell the public about the great sale that we now have on, for the unsettled condition of affairs around Atlanta kept hundreds of our best people indoors who would otherwise have visited town to do nec essary shopping. Knowing these facts so well we intentionally cut all advertising until absolute quietude prevailed throughout the city. Still there ia a saying that “tis an ill wind that blows no one good,” and all last week while the ladies were not inclined to. go shopping, we were making good use of the time gained by tho absence of the great crowds we had in the China department all the week before. Every salesman has been quite busy opening up new goods and getting everything in readiness for the grand windup of this department. These new goods we speak of were goods bought four, flvo and six months ago, bought long before we ever dreamed of closing out the china and crockery departments. So you see you get the pick of the market when you buy from us in this sale, and you absolutely get a reduction from 25 to 50 per cent, even on these newest patterns (both Amer ican nnd imported). We are extremely anxious to rush this sale, as this space will be immediately filled with toys for the holidays—hence we give you our word that anything yon buy in this line will be a bargain. For instance, here are just a few items of the very newest goods opened. We have a beautiful pattern of English porce lain ware that will be disposed of in open stock, viz.: Sauce Boats, regular price 40c now 20c Cream Pitchers, regular price 25c, now 10c Milk Pitchers, regular priee 40c, now 20c Covered Dishes, regular price $1.20, now 50c Covered Dishes (larger), regular $1.40' now... 75c Soup Turene, regular price $1.20, now 75e Plates (set of 6), regular price $1.00, now.... 50c Platters, regular price 30c, now 10c Platters, regular price 45c, now 25c Platters, regular price 75c, now,../ 40c Platters, regular price $1.25, now 75c genuine English Rockingham Tea Pots, the 35e value, for only 10 cents. 100-Piece Austrian China Dinner Set, regular priee $27.50, now $18.50; this is a great bargain. 100-Piece Austrian China Dinner Set we have always sold for $22.50, but the price now is $14.50. 100-Piece Bassett China Dinner Set. something very desirable, for only $16.00, and $25.00 is the price the world over. This china will also be sold in open stock, at the same reductions. A few sets of 100-piece dinner, a very beautiful French design, for $18.50, regular $27.50. You miss a bargain if you let this go by. Now if you can use a cheaper set, we have an American Porcelain Dinner Set that will be sold for $8.50, just ns long as they last. A beautiful Austrian China Chocolate Set, cheap for $7.50, but we will close them out for just $5.00 a set. Now here is something pleasing. A French China, Hand-painted Fish Set. Regular price $35.00, now $25.00 Less decorated, regular price $18.00, now $12.00 Very plain, regular price $12.00, now $8.00 A few hand-painted Chop Dishes, very exquisite, $7.50 kind for $5.00; and the $2.00 style for only $1.35. Glass Pitchers with real cut stars for only $1.00, and we have never priced them for less than $3.00. These are all right nnd this priee is a great bargain. Now then, here is what everybody needa. Extra Wash Bowls, the regular $1.00, $1.50 and $2.00 kind, for just 50 cents. These come in various colors. Plain Glass Punch Bowl Sets, only $2.50 for the $4.50 kind. $10.00 will buy a $15.00 handsome etched Punch Bowl Set. There nre hundreds and hundreds of things that wc are unable to mention in this advertisement, but we can state emphatically, with our reputation behind the statement, that this closing out sale of our China, Crockery and Glassware is absolutely bona fide, and you can depend upon it that if you buy any of these goods you get more than your money’s worth. Come on and get yourself some bargains nnd help us to wind up this end of our business. Come today. Sure vou won’t regret it. KING HARDWARE 00., 53 Peachtree Street. Aw! that Is where the psychology of the thins cornea In.
