I The Tabood Circular. In the envelope was found a circu lar for a lottery, which is as fol lows: The drawing of the 1st series of the 15th Danish Colonial Money Lottery, authorized by the government and un der its supervision will take place on the 15th and 16th bt January, 1914. The enormous demand for ticket! of the Danish 'Cnhmlal 'l&torr? 4r the best proof that the Danish Colonial Lottery stands in high favor both at home and abroad, a preference which is perfectly justified, as no other lot tery offers such good winning chances. The lottery consists of 50,000 tickets of which 21,550 will be drawn with prizes, thus nearly every second ticket must win. ^ The total amount of all prizes which will be distributed amongst the play ers, reaches t|ie enormous amount of 5,175,000 francs in gold. The chief prizes are as follows: France, 1,000,000—$200,000. 450000 80000 40000 10000 250000 7000ft 30000 5000 150000 60000 20000 3000 100000 50000 15000 2000 All prizes are paid out in ready money immediately after the drawing. All tickets issued are original-ticket? provided with the' arms of the gov ernment, these tickets entitle to col lect at once the prize allotted to them. In comparison with the enormous winning chances the stake of the tick ets is very insignificant, same is for the first drawing. one-quarter ticket, $1.65; one-half ticket, $3.25; one ticket. $6.50, which must be enclosed when ordering. I recommend you to give me your kind order by return of mail, the tick ets being in great demand and often cleared long before the drawing com mences. *” I should be very pleased to count you also amongst the number of my friends to whom I have paid large prizes.

This is one of the very few photos ever taken of Mr. Claflin. He modest, retiring man, de spite the fact that he is the most im portant mar. in one of the most ex tensive businesses in the world. For years photographers have been trying to get him to pose or looking for a snapshot of him. On this occasion he was caught as he was leaving an automobile for his wholesale house in New York City the firm of Claflin & Co. is said to have a controlling interest in many large department stores throughout the country. Mr. Claflin has been mentioned in New York for public office many times, and it is probable that he has refused many nominations. Public office does not seem to furnish the kind of fame which might suit him. It is learned that among the pro gressive measures that the newly in stalled council will consider is that of giving the city of Athens what she badly needs—a police alarm and pa trol wagon system. It is learned that Councilman Gor don will bring the attention of coun cil to this important matter at an early date. Chief Favora It. Chief of Police Brooks stropgly en dorses the idea, and has already made a list of points at which he thinks the alarm (or telephone) boxes should be placed. These are as followa: King’s corner. / Jackson and Clayton. Prince avenue. Milledge avenue. Lumpkin street. Thomas at Bridge. Barber near Heard. ■. Oak street and Peters street jf- Rock Springs and Broad. < Check Factory/ kStiniSi VICE PRESIDENT SOU, RY. DIED NT GAS ROUTE Richard D.

Lankford, vice president and secretary of the Southern Railway in New York, committed suicide in his Brook lyn apartments this morning by in haling gas. He was soon to have mar ried a Brooklyn society girl. Trade in Athens. ase' street Use Hacks aa Patrol. Athens at present conveys her pris- oners to police station via hack, it the walking is not good, and charges the hack fare to the offender. This i» quite primitive, to say the least, and for a go ahead city like Athena not in keeping at pll. A case came up in police court today which a defendant 'had been con veyed last night to the station and charged 75 cents hack fare. He was released to appear at court today, but did not turn up. The recorder fined him for contempt of court, and the city kept the 75 cents for the ride. In/Touch with Headquarters. With the telephone system, the chief says his idea is to have the men on the beats phone to headquarters every hour so as to keep in touch with what is going on. At present the chief often wants to give an order to some officer, but has to wait until the latter comes to th» station, perhaps hours later, too late to accomplish what was needed in way of arrest, etc. Expensive. Chief Brooks is very much in ear nest about the alarm or telephone sys tem. The great trouble is most sys tems are very expensive, and it is not thought that the city government can at present afford to install same. However a few boxes at the outlying districts might be placed and not coat the city any enormous sum. They are badly needed, likewise a patrol wagon. Great preparation* are being made for the Men's Meeting, to be held'at the Colonial opera honee Sunday .af ternoon when Dr. Stewart R. Rab- erts, a prominent physician of Atlanta, delivers his address on the subject: “The Real Courage.” Dr. Roberts is one of the most pro ficient men in the United State* in discussing the personal purity prob lem.
