Crowd Wanted Water.
The immense crowd at Chatta
hoochee park last Friday after
noon to witness the sham battle
got very thirsty after sweating in
the sun, and after the fight was con
eluded there was a cry for water.
The springs built by the electric
company could not furnish water
enough for the crowd, and there
was considerable complaint that
the thirst of the people could not
be quenched . Alderman Howard
Thompson went to the river and
got water for some of the crowd,
and he says the electric company
will have to provide water for the
people upon such occasions. A
few barrels of water at different
parts of the grounds would be suf
ficient, says Alderman Thompson,
and the comfort of the people
would be materially increased
thereby.
Two loads can be hauled over
paved roads where one load can
be hauled over the roads in the
present condition.

The Atlanta Constitution ot
last Thursday has the fel lowing in
terview with Mr. John M. Oliver

telephone company to compete

This announcement was made

‘*We have $100,000 in cash back

“The line will run from Atlanta
to Gainesville and from that city
to Asheville, where we will get
connection with the People’s com
pany of that city placing us in
communication with Greenville,
Spartanburg and the other impor
tant points in North and South
Carolina.
“Our line will touch all the in
termediate points between Atlanta
and Asheville. The rate to
Gainesville is to be 25 cents and
other toll charges will be in pro
portion. We intend entering
into active competition with the
Southern Bell company and pro
pose to give a good cheap service
to the people of three states. ,
“Our company has just been
organized at Gainesville..”
