Atlanta Becoming
Minature Reno.
Atlanta, Ga., July 11, —Eighty
five divorces have just been grant
ed at one sitting by the Fulton
county superior court. Figures
covering the past couple of years
show that the Atlanta courts grant
on an average of 90 divorces every
three months, or 360 divorces per
year, more than one divorce every
day for a community of only 150,-
000 people.
However, it is shown that the
troubles which cause fully 40 per
cent of the divorces originate out
side of Atlanta. In other words
Atlanta is becoming a miniature
Reno. Over 40 per cent of the
divorces which have been granted
since January Ist, 1912 are to
people who have lived 1n Atlanta
only for the legal time necessary
to establish residence in divorce
proceedings, namely one vear.
Of these people who come to
Atlanta apparently for special
purpose of getting their divorces
easily, the usual gronnd is simply
desertion. What it hides nobody
asks, as desertion is the simplest
of all grounds under the Georgia
law. The papers are served cn
the defendant by ‘‘publication,”
and if he doesn’t respond to the
publication, and it is the rarest
thing in the world that he does,
the way is ther. open for the total
divorce without much further
avidence. i

Macon Gets State Convention
Held Off to See If Smith
Faction Would Not Put
QOut a Candidate--- |
County Unit Plan
Adopted.
Atlanta—The state democratic
execulive committee met in the
senate chamber of the capital Sat
urday noon for the purpose of fixing
a date for a state primary aud for
the state convention to follow.
The primary was called for Au
gust 21, and convention following
will be held on August 28 in Macon.
It is believed that the committee
held off its meeting as long as pos
sible in order to see if any entry
would come out for governor from
the Smith faction. The report was
very general for several weeks that
the committee would meet just be
fore the general assembly convened,
but this talk suddenly died out and\
only a few days ago Chairman Bill
Wright sent out a call for th 2 meet-‘
ing Saturday.
Reversing its action in calling the
presidential primary on the plurality
unit the committee went back to the
county unit plan for the coming
state primary for governor and state
house officers, and all candidates ex
cept United States senators and
judges and solicitors. Judges and
solictors are only to be voted for
in their respective circuits.
A good working majority of the
state committee was presen when
& Chairman W. C. Wright called it to
‘order. John W. West moved to have
{ a committee of five appointed to fix
up the rules and resolutions for the
lprimary, etc. It was adopted, and
lthe chair appointed John T. West,
‘L. J. McConnell, P. A. Stoval ,How
'l ard Thompson and Rube Arnoid and
'they went out for thirty minutes to
fix things up. They were out, how
} ever, close to an hour and a half be
fore reporting.
Following the reading of the reso
lutions R. L. McKinney, of Macon,
sprang a distinct surprise by mov
ing to substitute Macon for Atlanta
as the meeting place of the state
convention. A hubbub of objection
and approval arose.
“Gentlemen,” said Col. Bob Berner,
“I have been fighting for the demo
ocratic party for thirty years, and I
have asked little of this committee.
But I do think this convention
should go to Macon. You know when
you moved it up to Atlanta it re
sulted in electing Joe Brown for gov
ernor.”
On a viva voce vote Macon seem
ed to have it, but a division was
called for and it resulted in a tie—
| 18 to 18. A great shout of laughter
‘went up over putting Chairman: Bill
l Wright in “a hole on the provosition
‘and he stood looking very much em
i barrassed for some seconds.
“Now, Mr. Chairman,” said Col

| Still Chainman Wright stocd hes
litating. “I suppose the best thirg

!i.e finally said, j
| At this moment, however, Howard

'said 11 order torelieve ttie chairman

would change his vote from Atlanta
‘to Macon, so the Central City land

( As stated the resolutions adopted
| provide for county unit plan on all
imficiais except United States sena
i tor, judges and solicitors, the last
’two named will be voted on only in‘
Itheir respective circuits. All regis-;
'tered white democratic voters
whe pledge themselves to vote for
the party nominees, national, state
and county, are eligible to vote on
August 21.
Representation on the floor of the’
convention will be limited to twice
thie number of county representation
in the lower house. :
The candidate for governor and
United States senator will pay
an -assessment of 35200, while all
others will pay $5O. This assess
'mem must be in the hands of Sec
)retary C. M. Hitch by noon August
Ist.

undue influence is prohibited, and it
is specifically stated that candidates
for railroad commissioner and jus
tices of the supreme court must state

The case taus disposed of was
that involving injunction proeeed
ings agaiost Simmons and Co., at
‘No. 721 Anderson street ecast, by
a number of prominent residencs
of the eastern section of the city.
~ Considerable interest has beenj
‘aroused over these cases, of which
‘tbere are a number, and in all ofl
'which the points of contention are
identical, The citizens asking in
junction alleged that in selling in
toxicating liquors, such as whisky,
the near beer saloon proprietors
conducted ‘*blind tigers” and were
therefore maintaining nuisances
and so subject to injunction under
the statute,
It therefore developed upon the
jury to decide whether or not the
selling of whisky openly could be'
classed as conducting a ‘‘blind
tiger.”
There was no denial made by
the defense that whisky had been
sold, as alleged by the complmn-’
tants, a compiete admission lucingl
made as to such facts. |
Four witnesses were introduced
by the complaintants to prove that
whisky had been sold openly, and|
also that the near beer .sal(mnl
keepers had been notified that un-!

they would enter complaint before |
