circles of Atlanta all astir for the past
three or four days. Scores of telegrams
have been sent, many letters mailed and
one messenger forwarded to urge Presi

winter in Atlanta. It can be stated on
pretty good authority that Mr. Taft has
had about as much Idea of resting at the
Georgia capital as of making a tour of
Alaska during the Interim between his
election and Inauguration.
Never Thought of Atlanta.
The truth of the matter la that the
president-elect never thought of Atlanta
until tho mistake was made, and It waa
heralded through the land that he would

Mr. Lysle. "He wns much gratified at the
