llm theater In Ida automobile In company
with Ida wife, emerged to make the atar-
tlltig discovery that the machine had com
pletely mulshed. '
A scorch dn the vicinity of the theater

of these (daces that aome unknown person

then quickly went to Inman Park, arriving
there at 12:30 o’clock, happy to find that
flu* deserted hnfo was his own missing
machine. The thief had evidently liecome
frightened and had deserted the auto. It
was not Injured In any way, however, and
was brought Imek to the e|ty.

employee of one of the garages, who said
he had seen a negro youth get Into the

FOR OPEN PLACE
ON WATER BOARD
Nothing has been published and little
has been said about the election of
water commissioners a week from next
Monday, but there Is a heated race on
between Thomas F. Stocks, the present
commissioner from the First ward, and
Joseph L. Cobb, Jr„ an employee of the
R. F.. Winn wholesale grocery estab
lishment.
There are ten water commissioners,
one from each ward, the mayor, ex-
offlclo, and the chairman of the water
works committee, ex-officio. The termtC
of two expire this year, those of Mr.
Stocks and Mr. Hugh Dorsey.
Mr. Dorsey, only a few months ago,
was f elected to succeed Mr„ M. M.
Welch, who resigned. As far as can be
learned, there Is no opposition to hint,
and he will be re-elected by council ut
the next meeting of that body.
Mr. Stocks, on the other hand, Is op
posed by Mr. Cobh* and the ffiends of
each are doing their utmost with coun
cil. Mr. Cobb will be nominated by
Mayor Pro Tern. Harwell, alderman
from the First ward, which nomination
will be seconded by Councilman Cur
tis. senior councilman from the First
ward.
The board of water commissioners Is
probably the most important of the city
government, and the race between
,Messrs. Cobb and Stocks wll be watch
ed with great Interest.

A convention of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon
Fraternity wtill Ik* held at the Piedmont
hotel Deeetnlier and will Ih» followed by
the fiftieth annual banquet at the Kimball
Saturday, December 29. Between 800 ami
1,000 Visitor Awe expected to come to At

The first day of the convention will be
taken care of by the Tech chapter and the
Atlanta Alumni Association at the Picdtnpnt
convention bull. A big difrn-e will be’glven
0t the Kimball In honor of the’ occasion by
local members of the fraternity on
night of December 28.
The night of IJecenitier 27 will In* “open
night,' 1 ’ and the members of the different
chapters and other fraternities will Ik* In
vited to attend ami get acquainted. The
H. A. K. Is one of the strongest’fraternities
In the South. It has olxty-seven active
chapters ami forty ulutntd chapters. The
entertainment committee Is making claim-
rate preparations, and Charles F. Stone,
chairman,. Is making every effort to make
the convention one of the most successful
ever held in Atlauta.
Governin' Terrell Friday morning Is
sued a proclamation offering a reward
of $500 for the apprehension and arre
of the unknown person who, on the
evening of December 4, assassinated
C*. II. Brooks, one of the leading oltl
gens of Chlpley.
The murder was particularly atro
clous. Last Tuesday evening about 6
o’clock Mr. Brooks was sitting by his
fireside, while bis wife was engaged In
the rear part of the house. She heard
a shot, but thought nothing of it until
she went to the room and found her
husband dead.
Ho far absolutely no clew to the as
sassin has developed. If Mr. Brooks
had an enemy no one knew or It, as he
was v«*ry popular In his community.
The tragedy Iium wrought up the entire
county to a high pitch of indignation
and large parties have been searching
for the unknown murderer.
