PETERS IS TIREO
OF CRITICISM BY
BOTH
ell Monday afternoon Alderman . Pe
ters wanted--the-- special' committee
which ha* been passing- on liquor li
censes discontinued, asking that this
business bo turned back over to the
police committee. He said he was
''tired of being criticised by-the preach
ers, the prohibitionist* and the liquor
men," and wanted to'throw'up the Job.
But the council thought that criticism
from such varied sources was rather a
compliment to the efficiency of the
committee and refused to concur In the
retiuest of the chairman.
The committee reported favorably on
these three applications for license:
IV. L. Brldwell, wholesale, at 29 Ma
rietta street: Ike Wheeler, retail ne
gro license, at 106 Dectaur street; P.
Abelman. retail negro license, at 84
Decatur street.
The applications of M. & H. Klein,
of .4 Decatur street, and W. 8. Mc-
Clarty, of 28 West Hunter street, for
licenses were referred to the commit
tee, and the following, applications were
read and action postponed until the
next meeting:
*'■ D. Cheatham, 47 Decatur street

Manuel Miller, of 160 Decatur, retail;

Veterans of the old Georgia Military
Institute will gather In Atlanta next
Thursday.
A big reunion of the old students of
the Institute, who answered the call to
arms during the civil war, has been
scheduled for Thursday in connection
with the fair, and the ''boys’’ of the
olden days will pour In from all direc
tions.
No company of soldiers distinguished
themselves more, fought harder or more
courageously than., the students of the
Georgia Military Institute. The cadets
went Into the war In May, 1864. It
was In 1898 at the general reunion of
the United Confederate Veterans that
the erstwhile cadets organised Into an
association.
Dr. J- Scott Todd Is the president of
the body and" he will be present at the
call of the roll Thursday. Judge Rob
ert L. - Rodgers, secretary and histor
ian, has recently published a full ros
ter of tlie cadets, with brief sketches
of their services in the army.
The cadets of. the G. M. I., who took
part In the memorable struggle of the
sixties, are scattered 'far and wide.
Many are In Atlanta, more are In dif
ferent other cities of the state, and a
large number live In neighboring states.
Some or all of these are sure to be on
hand at the big reunion.
The old veto, whose "Bllly-wa-hoo-
hoo” used to make the nights of sleepy
ones on the battlefield hideous, are go
ing to give one more "Bllly-wa-hoo-
hoo’’ before they answer the-call "up
yonder.”
