The Fourth of July is approach

Think about it. talk about it;

WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH
ATLANTA?
Atlanta, May 28—Does Atlanta
used anew city government.! The
answer is “Yes” if you know the
situation, andl the situation is like
♦his :
The city school teachers, threat
ening to strike for .better pay, a fe
forming a union to affiliate with
the American Federation of Teach
ers, which in turn affiliated with
the American Federation of Lahor.
Atlanta’s city; firemen have al
ready been unionized and affil
iated with the Atlanta Federation
of Trades, and shortly following
this organization it. became neces
sary for the chief of the fire de
partment to call on the board of
firemasters to say specifically and
unequivocally whether he shall run
the department or whether it shall
be run hv the fireman’s union.
The board of park commission
ers are planning a suit in the
courts against the city council to
compel that body to set aside a
sinking fund with which to erect
a new building for the famous
painting of the Battle of Atlanta,
known as the Ovclorama.
Automobile speed d'emons have
got so wild nnd ferocious on Atlan
t.a streets that the mayor has to
heg the chief of police to make
some effort to check their viola
tions of the traffic laws, and has
t.o implore the judge of the re
corder’s courts to impose severe
sentences.
These appeals amount to little
or nothing, members of the hoard
of police commissioners decide to
take the matter in their own hands
and use heir own automobiles to
ride the streets and arrest sjteAl
demons, thereby giving thjd po
lice authorities an actual demon
stration of the fact that annre-
hending speeders is not'so difficult
as they seem to think.
The head of the Georgia Rail
way & Power Company is calling
TJavor -Tames L. Key. the head of
Atlanta’s city governm'ent. a liar
in newsnaner statements. Not call
ing him that in exactly that, lan
guage hut calling him that by
plain, blunt inference.
These, in brief, are a few high
lights on the state of affairs in, At
lanta’s eitv government. Accord

Last Baturn'ay afternoon, one of
the most important, meetings per

was that of the State and Govern

which had been allotted.

and several citizens, it was decided

sociation to promote good roads.
The object of the association is
not to build the Bankhead High

? In* good -oids fever is spread
ing all over the country—nearly
half the counties in Georgia have
already voted bonds and not a
county where eleetions have been
held, has failed to vote almost
solidly.
Government funds can only lie
secured on c e-tain roads and when
this is done we should vote bonds
to build the other roads through
out the county.
If Douglas County had a good
system of roads, we would enjoy
an era of rosp.rity never oefoi*'
known.
Bad roads are more expensive
than good roads and people every
