BANNER S BIG AUTO SHOW TO BE
FEATURE OF BIG FEATURE-MONTH
With only one member of the al-
dermanic board absent—Dr. H. R.
Palmer, who is sick—the mayor and
council last night helped along two
big enterprises for Athens in—
Appropriating $300 for the fund
with which the big Knights of Pyth
ias Convention here next week is to
be entertained in a manner befit
ting for Athens; and—
Appropriating $500 to the fund for
the buldlng and equipping of the
summer school auditorium—which,
with a capacity of 1,600, is to be
rushed along for use at the coming
summer term.
Many Citizens Present.
When the mayor. and council met
yesterday evening in regular month
ly session there were as many citi
zens present as there are usually at
an average meeting of the chamber
of commerce.
One delegation headed by Former
Mayor W. F. Dorsey, as spokesman
and many of the chamber of com
merce officials and members of the
St. Elmo K. P. lodge executive com
mute, asked the city to help finan
cially in the entertainment of the
big convention of the grand lodge
and encampment of the Knights here
next week. Mr. Dorsey presented
the matter calling attention to the
reputation of the city for entertain
ment of conventions, for universal,
whole-souled hospitality, and noted
the big opportunity for getting favor
able advertising for Athens by doing
well by this representative gather-
tog.
On vote the appropriation of $500
(or as much of that sum as may be
needed) was unanimously and cheer
fully passed.
Mr. Dorsey, for the Knights and
. the chamber of commerce, cordially

Chancellor Barrow then was given
the floor and made a statement of
the plans for the summer school au
ditorium—for which many individu
als had given various stuns, . and
through the efforts or the chamber of
commerce has been made a reality—
as a badly needed addition to the
housing facilities of the campus for
the summer school. He stated that
in calculations the seating of the
building had not been looked after—
and declared that $1,000 wlU be nec
essary to seat the 1,600-capacity
house in a fairly comfortable man
ner.
Motion was made to appropriate
$600 for this purpose and the' motion
was carried unanimously. President
Flanigen of the chamber of com
merce and Chancellor Barrow both
expressed sincere thanks for the lib
erality of the city in this matter.
Other Business Transacted.
Mr. J. L. Deadwyler, with a dozen
Springdale citizens, appeared and
asked for the laying of a sewer main
on that street—which was acted fa
vorably upon some time ago. The
matter was referred to the sewer
committee with power to act, and
the work will be the next sewer ex
tension done.
The sewer committee was also ask
ed to have the matter of the line on
London avenue gone over thoroughly
—plans of the work petitioned made
and property-owners consulted as to
their desires.
The resignation of Patrolman Wig-
ley was read and accepted.
The application of John H. Lord
for a place on the force was read
and filed.
(Recommendation of the street com
mittee that Nellie B. avenue be im
proved and that Morton street be
accepted when put ln proper condi
tion was adopted by council.
'A communication was read, a prop
osition to have the city lease the
Carr’s Hill property and improve it
for park purposes. The matter was
referred to the councilman from the
first ward who reported later In the
meeting. They recommended, in view
of the .present situation, that tne
proposition be declined with thanks
at this time. The recommendation
was adopted.

showed that Dr. Swafford had three

An unusual theme is developed
with rare power in “The Ayran.” It
is‘the power of fearlessness and faith
to overcome evil.
The opposing characteristics are
personified in a girl and a man. The
man, embittered by a misplaced affec
tion, is the embodiment of hate for all
mankind—and womankind—and of an
insatiable lust for revenge. That is
Hart’s part.
The girl, with an unsullied love to
her heart for everyone, goes to the

the white race he will protect white
women against his riff-raff crew of

attempts to terrorize her, slowly

The whole fabric of his badness dis
