TAKES JOY RIDE WITH OTHER PEOPLE’S FLIVVERS ATLANTA, Ga., July 16. —Israel Cot ton, an Atlanta negro whose color is diametrically opposite the fleecy sta ple, plucks Flivvers along the streets like blackberries along a branch, ac cording to a couple of Atlanta detec tives who have been trailing him sev eral weeks and landed him behind the bars with a mass of evidence on which they expect to secure his admission in to the Ancient Order of the Convict Stripe. Israel walks along with an innocent air, and when he strikes a Flivver that isn’t bound and gagged, so to speak, he steps into the driver’s seat and drives it off. After riding as long as the gas holds out, he stops the Flivver at the curb and leaves it, and goes about his business of finding another one. But it’s a long lane that knows no turning, and Israel took about six or seven rides too many. ! Local News Items ........ Rev. George M. left Monday afternoon for Macon on business.
