“DOC” HAM ATTACKS
ATLANTA GAS FOLKS
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 7.—Rev. J. W.
Ham, pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle
of this city, who has recently come in
to widespread prominence through his
aggressive fights to protect the pubic,
has entered the lists against Atlanta’s
biggest and most powerful corpora
tion, the Georgia Railway & Power
Company, and he promises to give the
city some startling disclosures before
he finishes.
Appearing’ yesterday before the
special. . . committee of city council
which is investigating the very low
quality of gas being furnished to At
lanta by the Atlanta Gas Light Com
pany, which is a subsidiary of the
Georgia Railway & Power Company,
Dr. Ham exhibited the bills of a num
ber of customers covering gas for
three years back. These bills showed
an increase ranging from 350 to 2,000
per cent.
“If the statements made by Presi
dent Arkwright of the gas company
are true,” said Dr. Ham, addressing
himself to Mr. Arkwright, who was
present, “namely, that other big cor
porations ar e raising prices and rob
bing the public and why should not
the gas company do the same; then
that is the baldest and boldest admis
sion I ever heard made by a corpora
tion president. The consuming publid
of Atlanta is in the grip of a $57,000,-
000 corporation that not only controls
Atlanta, but controls the politics o f
the state of Georgia. When the or
dinary highwayman holds you up. you
have two chances to get away. You
may either dodge his bullets or knock
him down. He may never call on you
again. In the case of the Atlanta Gas
Light Company you can do neither. It
is moral highway robbery, pure and
simple.”
Dr. Ham will open his crusade on
the power company in a sermon next
Sundap night entitled “The Morals of
the Methods of the Highway Rebber
as Compared With the Methods of the
Atlanta Gas Light Co.”

AMERICUS GIRLS TO
I PLAY IN COLUMBUS
COLUMBUS, Ga., February 7.
Basketball fans of Columbus are
promised a real game Friday night
when the girls’ team of the Columbus
High school meets the girls team of
the Americus High schol.
Last Friday the Columbus girls
overwhelmingly defeated the West
Point girls’ team by a 28 to 7 score.
The game Friday promises to be a
hard and bitterly fought one as a
certain amount of good natured rival
ry as always existed between the fans
tnd fanuettes of that thriving com
munity and Columbus.
Reports from Americus say that
their team has wo i all of its contests
played so far this season and they
expect to take Columbus’ scalp Fri
day night.
On the other hand, although Colum
bus has played only one game, it was
won by quick playing and steadiness
of head on the part of the players,
who confidently expect to come out
at the big end of the score.
This Coal Does Barn.
ATLANTA, Ga., February 7.—Tillou
Von Nunes, an Atlanta lawyer, has
discovered the way to make war-time
"run of mines” coal burn. You must
learn Its schedule and arrange your
program accordingly, l a the way he
dopes it out. For example:
Mr. Nunes made a fire in his fire
place for the purpose of doing a lit
tle improving reading Monday night,
but after nearly freezing to death he
discovered that his coal was not
scheduled to bum until early Tues
day morning. He had punched at the
fire until past midnight and finally
picked up the coal in his naked hands
and put it in the coal acuttlb and
, dumped it into a barrel on the back
iporch.
About 4 o’clock yesterday morning
' was awakened by a terrific gnock
' ing on his back doors. The neigh
bors had discovered the back porch
