Atlanta Mayor Would
Clean Out City Hall
Atlanta, December 16-—Jim
Woodward, mayor-elect has an
nounced that if he had the authori
ty be would be inclined to clean
out the city hall from top to bot
tom, removing every official and
every. clerk, on the idea that ineffi
ciency is general.
“] mght leave a janitor,” he
says, ‘butldoubt it. I would
begin at the top and go clear down
the line, Then I might hire some
of them back lif they agreed to earn
their money, :

From théiDaily Bulletin
Must Have License
1 To Buy Fire Arms
If Proposed Bill for Next
Legislature Becomes
A Law. ‘v
Atlanta, Ga. 16 —Atlanta offi
cials, from the police department
and City hall, backed by the
municipal public safety commit
tee, have decided to lead a fight
at the next session of the legis
lature to a step further than the
presen pistol-toting law, and
exercise a direct censorship over
the sale of small fire-arms.
The proposition is to make it
unlawful for a dealer to sell a
pistol to anybody unless the
would-be purchaser has first ob
tained from the county ordinary
a license entitling him to make
the purchase. The dealer selling
the pistol wouldjbe obliged under
the law to make report of the
sale, and so a track could be kept
on all the weapons. |
- The scheme has recived wide
local endorsement, and will be
submitted to the general assem
bly, for discussion and what
ever amendment is necessary.
Under the present law, itisun
lawful to carry a pistol without
first obtaining a permit, but
there is no law prohibiting their
sale to anybody, and the dealer,
particularly the pawn-shop dealer
whose window is ;a spectacular
arsenal of deadly weapons, has a
perfect legal right to sell his au
tomatic pistols and six shooter
revolvers to the most irresponsi
ble negro, or the most vicious
’wl}ite man who has the purchase
price.
One Good Resolution
" Hasn’t Been Broken
Atlanta, Ga. 16—Asthe season
for making -and breakirg- all
sorts of New Year resolutions
rolls around again, there. comes
with it a series of reports from
this and other southern commun—%
ities tending to show that at leasti
one good resolution made by the
southern people last year has
been kept unbroken. !
A comparatively few years ago
a little band of business and fi
nancial leaders in the south, rep'-‘
resenting no single line of busi
ness, and boasting for no selfish
projects, pledged themselves to
preach and disseminate the new
business gospel of ‘’keeping mon
ey at home by patronizing home
industries and institutions.”’
They made it apply to all lines
of business and activity. They
sought to make it the slogan of
the new south, from year to year
the soundness of the economic
doctrine became more and more
apparent and a year ago thous
ands of people had subscribed to
the idea.
The first statistical reports of
southern institutions which come
in this year to show the splendid
result of putting that maxim in
to practice, are made by the
southern fire insurance compan
jes, which report rapid and
steady growth. The fire insur
ance ‘men were among the ones
who first took up the idea, not
for their own business alone but
for the upbuilding of the whole
south. i :
