When a street car stops to take on or let off passengers, all vehi cles near said street car at -the time, shall come tf^a complete stop and shall not pass said street car while it is stopping for said pur poses.—Section 9, Athens Traffic Ordinance. There is an old saying that Bill Shakespeare “never repeated.” Prob ably he didn’t, but Bill never had to write about cases in the Athens, Ga., police court concerning traffic ordi nance violations—no lamps lit on autos after the shades of night have fallen, driving on the wrong side of the street, etc., etc. Had he been writing about the auto and vehicle owners who continue to get fined by Judge Price, it is quite probable thgt Bill would have said something like this— Zounds! odds bodkins! Can’st not thou get that rule of ye road in thy brain; wilt thee continue to add thy coin to the coffers of tms goodly fity by fines on thee? ’Tis a goodly ordinance ye city fathers drew—follow it out to the letter, and above all keep to the right side in ye drive,, th»t ye $ may avoid Judge Price, and let your auto lights so shine that the copper may not cause a case to he writ on ye court docket against thee. Keep thy money in thy purse, not in a cash bond in the police station for appear ance at court next day for an al leged traffic violation.

Recorder Price has especially asked that the Herald lay stress on the matter of that part of the ordinance as to passing street cars with other vehicles as Jold of above. He says he considers that sec tion of the traffic law the most im portant to be observed as it will by ob servance save accidents. The judge had an incentive to make the suggestion to the Herald man on j account of the case of one John Wa- I ters, colored, who drove a double horse team so near to a trolley car, taking on passengers at the corner of Col lege avenue and Clayton street, that eral persons getting on the trolley, he barely escaped running into sev- Ofticer Jeffry saw the wild drive and went after Waters. He got him, and the recorder placed a $5.50 fine on him today, and gave him a severe lec ture on the evils of fast driving. Men’s Christian Association in . the southland. The state secretary of Georgia and Florida Associations, Mr. J. V. Read, with headquarters in Atlanta, will be the speaker on this occasion. Read has chosen a most inter esting subject for discussion at this time. His theme is: “How Many Cents on the Dollar?” This sounds like a business subject, and, from the view point of religion being the chief business of life, it is, hut it is not a business subject from the view point of the common acceptance of the term. It deals with the worth of a man, and will be a study of a man and his value. Mr. Read is well remembered in Athens as being the one man who OSTRICH THRIVES IN ARIZONA. Chandler, Ariz., January 30.—There are now about 6,000 birds on the os trich farms of Arizona and the indus try is said to be but in its Infancy. The present status of the industry is marked by a departure from the custom first established of raising 1 as many birds as possible. Now the os trich owner is scientifically improving the quality* of his stock and of the feathers that are becoming more and more valuable. The Arizona ostrich growers have a state organization and they gather annually at a business meeting and , banquet. The meeting was held re gave a practical demonstration to our 'ccntly in Chahdler. There reports were made on some experimenting on the Harmon ranch in the Salt river valley. The results have satisfied ex perts that the best ostriches in the world can be produced here. MRS. W. K. VANDERBILT OPPOSED TO THE USE OF S0P0IFIC DRUGS POLICE FI 41 PINTS Mrs. William 1C. Vanderbilt, wife of land tbat one man bad assured him lifoi nia has come from her. The Old Do minion liner Hamilton, bound down from New York, it is be lieved may have been near the scene of the accident, and it is regarded as barely possible that she picked up some of the Mon roe’s passengers or crew. James O’Connell, vice president of the American Federation of la bor ,was a passenger on the Mon roe. She %vas on regular trip from Norfolk to New York and left here at 7 o’clock last night. NANTUCKET ARRIVES WITH city of her unused and undeveloped resources of human power. Mr. Road was the gencral-in-chief of the phen omenal campaign conducted by the Young Men’s Christian Association a little over a year ago for funds with which to develop a new plant. He bc- lioytd tb&L A^effl^cpuld raise $60,000 in fen days for the Association, and, with the cooperation of the local men he went to work and organized a com mittee of 150 men, divided into two companies of 75 each, with a com mander in charge of each company, being Mr. J. J. Wilkins, for the busi ness men, and Mr. Harry Hodgson for the young men. These companies were divided into seven teams of ten men each, with a captain. They did their work so well that at the end of ten days the total subscriptions in hand and in notes amounted to over $100,000. Then, for dessert two days more was given to the Young Wom en's Christian Association, and some $18,000 to $20,000 was raised for them. The committee makes the point that a man of such calibre, wrto first dem- sirated to Athens her power in unit-. ed effort, has something worth hear ing, and every business man and pro fessional man will do well to take ad vantage of this opportunity to go to the Colonial Sunday afternoon to hear the address by Mr. J. V. Read, state secretary of the Young Men’s Chris tian Association work for Georgia and Florida. Walter’s orchestra will open the service at 3:30 with a musical pro gram lasting half an hoiy, the address beginning at four. bihmStt THIS AFTERNOON FOR ARBITRATION TREATIES . _ the young host and the house was EIGHTY-SIX SURVIVORS j adorned with graceful ferns and pink . , Norfolk, Va., January 30.—The | f , owers e<l Apples, Navy Beans, | Nantucket with eighty-six survivors of i Thc table in tbc dj n j n( , r00m where tter Beans and-California 4 he Mon r°e arrived here at 1;30 o'clock! y° un >f guests enjoyed refresh- Wprameo full this afternoon.

Mrs. Vanderbilt has directed Ernest K. Coulter to undertake a full inquiry into the evil and the means for stamping it out. “We havs not proceeded far with oar inquiry, 11 said Mr. Coultsr, “but the necessity of setion.' Mr. Coulter said he knew of a case in which nine hoys hsd been locked upt at one time for usin gdrugs, and that by morning they were nearly insane from the lack *of their stimu lant. He said it was common infor mation that various drugs were being peddled openly, even on the streets. he could get cocaine in thirty places. “When the facts were brought to thc attention of Mrs. Vanderbilt,” said Mr. Coulter, "she was horrified and directed me to ma|je a sweeping in vestigation on which we will have our fight for better conditions.' According to Mr. Coult(r, only 20 per cent of the heroin brought into this country is used legitimately for medicinal purposes, the other 80 per cent being used by the “fiends. r Heroin is qsed like cocaine by its slaves,- being sniffed up the nose in a has-been dona baa shown psMsmCsitoS*. *r injocted in the li quid. The supply comes from Ger many, where it is prepared by treat ing morphine with acetic acid. The result is a drug much cheaper than cocaine and at least as terrible. Its victims call it “happy dust.” It has real medicinal uses in cases of asth ma, whooping cough, and other spas modic affections. Forty-one pints of whiskey in a Wall street restaurant were found by Captain Seagraves and Officer Em- rick of the police font at an early hour this morning. Tha policemen had bean on their rounds and tried the door of the place of Mr. Robert Brooks on the east side of Wall atnet. There was a key in the lock, and .tha door was not locked. Going in the men of the law found two suit Cdsee full of pint bottles of whiskey. There was no one in, sight to claim the goods, no one connected with the restaurant could be found. The po lice seized the liquor and locked it up at the vault at headquarters. -They state that there may be several cases from the find—keeping whiskey In a place of business, state case; keeping more than the allowed quantity, four gallons and three quarts, federal case; and keeping it for the presumed purpose of illegal salt, city cue. ■ The place is kept by Mr. Robert Brooks who came to' Athens a few weeks ago from Madison county. .

Atlanta, January 30.—While there is a wide difference of opinion among military men in the state as to which authority is paramount—state or fed eral—in the row over W. G. Obear’s office as quartermaster general, both sides are agreed that Governor Slat on's recent action in passing on the matter was the only one he could pos sibly have taken under the circum stances. The governor simply decided that he had no executive right to set aside the action of the Georgia legiilature in creating the quartermaster gen eral’s office. If Governor Slaton had declared it void, all are agreed, he would have been exceeding his au thority. As it is the governor's ac tion leaves the question open, with out prejudice, to be passed on by the legislature itself when it meets in Jund. All agree that even if the war de partment has made the quartermut- er’s office supernumerary, as Adjutant Geeral Nash holds, the governor was right in declining to set aside an act of the legislature.
