ORDERLY CHRISTMAS
Rome Bai Fever Arrests Thau Any V
Hie Large Georgia Cities,
VERY MODERATE lhE OF FIREWORKS
City Settled Down To I'* Normal Quiet
Yesterday--Arreata Friday sad Sat
urday Were Only 37 In All.
Rome has quieted down to its nor
mal condition after the rush and
burry and noise of Christmas.
Yesterday was a pretty day com
pared with tbe conditions Saturday,
and a great, many people were on the
streets. The merchants had time to
straighten up their stock and clean
up after the big rush of last week.
One feature of the present Christ
mas is tbe very moderate use of fire
works. Usually upper Broad street is
as|dangerous as a Cbilkoot pass, only
one is likely to be burned to death in
stead of frozen.
It is so for about two or three days
before and after Christmas day, but
Saturday the roar of cannon crack
ers, tbe swish of skyrockets and the
zip of Roman candles, was only like
the skirmish line of a battle, not tbe
real engagement, as of yore. Yester
day not half a dozen fire crackers were
exploded on Broad street, and very
few last night.
The arrests were very light cn
Christmas day—only 15, while At
lanta had 305, Macon 24 and Savan
nah 93.
This was due to tbe fact that the sa
-loons were all closed tight, and the
unfortunates who deem it the right
thing to get drunk on Christmas were
unable to secure the liquor.
There were 22 arrests Friday and 15
Saturday, a total of 37 for tbe holi
days. AU of these were simply drunk
and disorderly, as the police were in
struced to be lenient. All of those
arrested were released Saturday
night.
Altogether it has been a very quiet
and orderly Christmas in Rome.
