Thai Atlanta—the representative twines* portion of Atlanta—does not *ant signs, electric or any other— Mretrhed across the aldewalka to dis arm- the .treat, to be a menace to pedestrians nnd to prove an obstacle In fighting-a fire, la proven by the pro teat of bualnesa men In the busineaa district. Every merchant of promi nence In Peachtree and Whitehall atreeta la agalnat the tiae of such algne. There Is an ordinance now In force permitting the uae of electrically llghted signs across the sidewalks. It was Intended to Introduce on Monday an amendment or a new ordinance which would further regulate the can dle power required In auch signs. This Love vs. Clothes And now conies the season of the year when “young men’s fanev lightly turns to thoughts of love,” and seriously, to thoughts of what to wear; for although Dan Cupid is content with birthday attire, his legions of proteges arc btiijklers for style and content with nothing slmrt of the ultra-modes of fit and fashioning. So many young men select Eiseman Bros, as ri liable authority on style, and dcpendahlc- iicss in quality, that it has long since become a recognised rendezvous for the ‘‘younger set. The great lines of “Rcady-For-\\ ear for Spring nnd Summer 1907 are now ready as a re the Hats, Shoes and Furnishings. We are rushing toward Easter at a rapid gait, and the suggestion is easily in order to “get in touch” with the “Big Store ’ right how, and see and know style of the authorita tive type at its best, in the various departments that cater to the demands of exclusive taste. Send for the New Style-Book. EISEMAN BROS. 11-13-15-11 Whitehall ATLANTA, Clothiers— Tailors Washington, D. C. brought on the dlacuaalon among bual- nesn men. who now Insist that the orig inal ordinance be repealed and that no signs bs permitted to* hang across the sidewalks. Under the ordinance the sign busi ness becomes a monopoly—a business confined to the Georgia Railway and Electric Company. For nothing but electrically lighted signs may be used and these are sold and supplied with current by the electric company. The plea Is presented that auch eigne serve to light the streets, and for this reason should be permitted to hang across the walks. Atlanta business men say that Atlanta Is rich enough to light her own streets, and If rates are too high a municipal electric light plant will solve the question. The sign painters of the city are also opposed to the ordinance. They pro test that they are discriminated against in favor of the electric com pany. ns they are not permitted to hang signs across the streets, that privilege being confined to the electric company or users of electric current. There Is already, under the existing ordinance, a number of signs stretched across rhe sidewalks In the uptown district. An effort will be made to se cure the prompt removal of thfse and to prevent the Issuance of any more permits. Hut every business man who takes a pride In Atlanta’s streets, voices a pro test against the disfigurement of the streets. They probably will go before ouncil with a petition that the ordi nance be repealed and Atlanta's side walks kept dear of the nuisance of signs—electric or other—stretched ucross to be an eyesore and a danger. It's all in the Green Extra —wait for itl WILL CREAK OFFICE OF LIQUOR INSPECTOR A resolution tonkin* to the appoint ment of a liquor Inspector was Intri- ch/ced In council Monday by Aldjcman Key.

INDORSED BY HOTEL MEN The Georgian’s Edito rial Heartily Com mended. Atlanta hotel men Indoree the editorial In The Georgian on Monday In which attention Is called to the great benefit Of convention* to * city, and the need of * vigorous movement to bring new conventions to Atlanta. Houstoun Harper, of the Piedmont Hotel, and »*cret*ry of the Atlanta Ho. u*l Men's Association, on Tuesday morning expressed Ills appreciation of the editorial and railed attention to the need of co-npcratlon on the part of Atlanta members of the big associa tions. Harper for several years has been an earnest worker for bringing conventions to Atlanta. II* haa visited and Investigated the methods of the Busineaa Men's League, of Milwaukee; the Chamber of Commerce, of Detroit; th* Progressive Union, of New Orleans, which have three of the beet conven tion Bureaus In the United States. The Information which he has obtained has been used with good effect. "In order to get a convention It la necessary to begin working on It a year In advance, and get the sentiment of the delegates In favor of Atlanta. While the next place of meeting la sometimes left to the executive com mittee. It Is generally decided by the onventlon Itself." he said. "If Atlantu wishes to get ihe 1308 onventlon*. II Is high time lo begin nn active campaign. Ho far we have only two or three conventions booked for next year. "While It would be a great thing to get the national Democratic convention, Ihe Grand Army of the Republic, the Hhrlners and other conventions of their magnitude, yet there are many Indus trial and mercantile organisations which we could more easily gel. and which would nol coat so much to en tertain. "Three euch that I can now mention ore the National Electric Street Hall way Association, which meets In Wash ington In June; the Southern Supply and Machinery Dealera’ Association, which meets in Bt. louts In May, and the Southern Hardware Jobbers’ Associa tion. which meets In Richmond In May. As so manv convention* are to meet In Virginia cities during the Jamestown Exposition. It will be necessary to keep a close watch on them If Atlanta wishes lo get the conventions. "My experience with the convention business ho* shown that the Initiative In Inviting a convention con best b« taken by a local member. The hotels, or the Chamber of Commerce, can ex tend an Invitation, but It will have little effect If not backed by some Georgia or Atlanta man. We have spent time and money In fruitless effort, where we had no local member of the organ isation to present the Invitation. There fore. when we begin our c»mi>algn we ahould find out the local man who will .present the Invitation "in 1306 we had about thirty conven tions, all told, to meet In Atlanta, and last year about twenty.
