PLANS
FOR AUDITORIUM
The sub-committee on campaign
plans, appointed from the membership
of the old 1»10 exposition committee,
which has resolved Itself Into a com-
1 mlttee on armory und a convention
hall, met Thursday afternoon In the
1 office of Robert F. Maddox and decided
, on a definite plan of procedure, which
Will be carried out at once.
It was decided to make subscriptions
to the $250,000 fund, which It Is pro
posed to raise, binding as aoon as $150,-
000 has been promised.
Subscribers will be allowed to make
seven payments—25 per rent on Janu
ary 1. 1907, and 12 1-2 per cent semi
annually, until January 1, 1910. Notes
at six per cent Interest arc to be
given for the unpaid amounts.
A meeting of fifty or more of the
largest subscribers to the exposition
fund will be called In a few days for
the purpose of launching the plan.
An effort will be made to raise
enough money by January 1 to pay
cash for a lot. Then the building will
be put up as quickly as possible.
LUMBERMEN CARRY SUIT
TO THE SUPREME COURT.
Special to The Georgian.
Jackson, MIm., Oct. 12.—One of the
hardeat fought pieces of litigation that
has ever come up In this state has
been submitted to the supremo court.
Prominent lumbermen In Houth Mis*
slMlppi, who have leased the sixteenth
of A section of land, are being .sued
for cutting the timber off the land. The
lumbermen set up that they have paid
the taxes on this land for years and
that they leased it with the distinct
understanding that it was being leased
for the timber. The .amount involved
Is several million dollars. What at
taches so much Interest to the case Is
the fact that it was decided once by
tha supreme court in favor of the lum
bermen, but went back on a writ of
error. Since that time there has been
a change In the personnel of the court.
A majority of the court decided that
the lumbermen were right in their con
tention. while Chief Justice Whlttield
held that they were liable for the tim
ber taken off.
By assuming the authority to regu
late switching on Interstate shipments
the railroad commission Is now in a
position to break up Injurious condi
tions such as have existed in Atlanta
for the past several weeks.
Several weeks ago the Southern rail
way declined to take the cars of the
Louisville und Nashville containing coal
and transfer the same to designated
sidings or switches of its own. This
worked a hardship on both manufac
turers and local coal dealers. The
worst feature of the row was that it
threatened to affect every consumer of
coal In Atlanta, as coal dealers stated
that they could not get car-load ship
ments placed where they wished, and It
would necessitate raising the price un
less the trouble was settled.
Last week ttie railroad commission
heard from interested parties reasons
pro and con ns to why it should not
assume authority to regulate such dif
ferences under tho provisions of the
new Steed act. In reaching the de
cislon that It has such authority the
commission will assess a fine of $1 per
day demurrage for failure to perform
switching services promptly, the same
penalty exacted of consignees for fail
ure to unload freight promptly. Tho
uniform charge for switching a car is
fixed at 92.
No decision was handed down In In
terstate shipments, but the question
was left for future consideration.
The commission also decided that the
continuous mileage rulo should be ap
plied to the Central and its connection,
the Wad ley Southern, under which
namo tho Wadley «nd Mount Vernon
and the Stlllmore Air Line were re
cently chartered. At the hearing lost
Sole Atlanta Agents for Stein-Bloch Smart Clothes.
The Store for Style and Quality
The choicest fabrics count for little if the shape is wrong—out of date. It is the shape and fit
that, catch the eye--what every good dresser wants most of all. /
Style, quality and fit are the leading trumps at Emmons—and especially quality. The style
of every garment must be absolutely correct, the materials must be all-wool, linings the best—
and everything else that goes,to make a perfect garment must be “put in” before it can bear the
label of . Emmons. Another good feature of Emmons Clothing is the fit and shape retaining
qualities—which is the result of hand-tailoring, the work of the best journeymen tailors.
Turn Your Face
Into Dollars.
Many a Man Hat Failed Because Hia
Face Was a Picture of Calamity.
It takes nunshlno to produce a rote,
perfect rose. And so man, to be
successful, must have sunshine Inside.
The life which has it not, which has no
health and no happiness, Is sour, surl:
pessimistic, and a failure. Tho wori
already has too many vinegar faces
that breathe ill-will and strife. The
orld wants joy, comfort, sunshine,
and will cling to tho man who has
it, who radiates gladness and triumph
wherever he Is and under all circuit)
stances.
Some people have a genius for seek
ing out the disagreeable, the crooked,
the bad am! the ugly. These aro the
destroyers; they travel In schools, they
herd together for they love their kind,
and *.he cheerful part of the world
have nothing to do with them.
And why Is it that so many peddle
disaster, knowing at the same time that
If they do their lives will be ruined?
Some people can not help it, for pes
slmfsm usually comes from bodily dls-
orders, and this cannot always be pro
vented. The stomach, for Instance. Is
the most common cause of discontent,
sour face, recklessness, disgust and
luck of ambition. A bad stomach,—
there ts the secret of many a failure.
Anyone can have a good stomach, a
strong stomach, a stomach that can
take care of anything and everything
that Is put into It, no matter whether
It is a very bad stomach now or not.
Then why not have It?
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets do this
very thing. One ingredient of these
little tablets digests 3,000 grains of
food, and no matter how bad is your
dyspepsia or Indigestion, these tablets
will digest everything In your stomach,
thoroughly and completely, and better
and quicker than a healthy stomach
can do the same thing. Stuart’s Dys
pepsia Tablets will cure qqlckly loss
of appetite, brash, irritation, burning
sensations, nausea, heartburn, eructa
tions, loss of vim and spirit, bad mem
ory, and dyspepsia and indigestion iu
their very worst forms. '
No other IKtle tablets in the world
an do st> much. You should carry
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets around with
you wherever you go and take them
after meals. Then only will you realize
what It Is to enjoy a meal, and what
perfect digestion means. Your whole
body und your mind will feel the ef
fects: your vim will increase, you will
be more satisfied with what the world
does, you will think happier and be
happier and your face will be one of
supreme contentment. That will bring
you success anti then more success.
Your face will bring you dollars. Try
It. It will cost you just 90c. for a
package of these wonderful Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets, at any drug store
on earth.

“FALL OF POMPEII"
CHEERED BY BIG
AT
“UNCLE REMUS” INVITED
TO PUTNAM COUNTS FAIR
An audience of nearly 2,000 witnessed
the "Fill of Pompeii” ond the pyro
technic display of the Pain Fireworks
Company In the south end of the race
track at Piedmont park Thursday
night. Despite the low temperature the
people remained throughout the dis
play, which was as complete oa It hna
ever been, and felt well repaid for the
shivers und shakes on the frost-cov
ered seats.
The program was complete and there
was.not a pause throughout the pro
duction. The show opened with the
pageant of Pompeiian senators and
other dignitaries. Roman guards, glndl-
utors, standard-bearers, flower and
■lancing girls, atul Egyptian soldiers.
The persecution of the Christians was
an Interesting feature.
The special program Included the
best performers of the aerial trapexe
who have ever visited Atlanta, Wills
and Hasson, equilibrists: the Dondrns,
flying trapeze artists: the three Rossi
brothers, comedy acrobats, and Hurd-
ley, Stevens and llurdley, grotesques.
Mile. Hilda I’arolte and her troup of
dancing girls brought forth demonstra
tions of genuine appreciation from the
hlverlng audience. '
No better display of fireworks has
ever been seen in the South than the
one which followed the destruction of
Pompeii. This was accomplished In a
startling manner.

John R. Hudson, of Eatonton, Go.,
president of the Putnam County Fair
Association, was In Atlanta Friday
and attended the Georgia State fair.
He Is hers for the purpose of securing
attractions ■for his fair, which Is to
open In Eatonton October 6.
•‘You have one of the best fairs ever
given In the South,” said he, "but
we’re going to have a fair down In
Putnam that will be one of the best,
too. We like the way Atlanta doea
things, and the management of our as
sociation has been acquiring that spirit
which accomplishes things.
"Putnam Is the last of the counties
to quit tho old system of farming. The
county la made up of plantations and
we want to break them up Into small
farms. To do this we are Inviting
homeseekers of the better class of peo
ple. We want people who are thrifty
and who can acquire and live on their
own (arms.
“Our section Is the home of wealth
and ante-bellum culture and chivalry.
It is the birthplace of “Uncle Remus,”
Joel Chandler Harris, of your city,
and arrangements are being made to
have him vlslt-the scenes of his child
hood. It Is a section of the state That
has yet to be developed, and we want to
develop It.
"We want to broaden out and loosen
up, and shake off the lethargy that ha*
prevented development, and this fair of
oura will show what wo can do. Our
pumpkin* are Just as large, our apples
just as sweet, and our cotton la just
as fine as any In the land, and a visit
to the fair, will prove It."
ATLANTAN TELLS GRAPHIC
STORY OF GREAT STORM
A thrilling story of the ruin wrought
by the gulf storm of just two weeks
ago is brought .to Atlanta by St. Elmo
Massengale, of the Massengale Adver
tising Agency, who returned Thursday
from a business trip to New Orleans.
“No human could give a complete
and adequate picture of the scenes of
ruin along the gulf country from Mo
bile to Bay St. Louis. The sweep of
wind and wave must have been tre
mendous, for everywhere are evidences
of Its terrible destructiveness."

“From Gulfport, Biloxi and Scran

Throughout that territory there Is a

no human agency could ever unravel.
“You have seen a kitten take a ball

LYNCHING NOT RIGHT
■ REMEDY FOR GRIME
Two phases of Rev. C. B. Wllmer's
address on the negro problem before
the Sociological Society at Carnegie
Hall Thursday night, attracted special
attention.
The speaker made It warm for those
people who argue: “Stop the crime
and lynching will cease.” He said that
such a statement practically mean*
this: “We, the proud Anglo-Saxons, are
so Ignorant and morally low that we
cannot devise a better rem
lynching for the crime, and
until you stop the crime, we will put
ourselves down on your plane of moral
ity and Intellect."
Such argument,
