BIG PROFIT SOMEWHERE
IN ELECTRIC CURRENT
Costs Seven-Tenths
of a Cent at City
Limits.
Electric current delivered to the city
limit* of Atlanta for (even-tenth* of a
cent per kilowatt hour!
That eound* llko a drentn to the peo
ple who have been paying the Georgia
Hallway and Electric Company any-
Whcre from 7 cent* to 11 centa per kilo,
watt hour.
' Seven-tenth* of a cent per kilowatt
hour Is what It coet* the North Geor
gia Electric Company to deliver this
current to the city limit*.
It I* not proposed t<> sell It to the
people of Atlanta for that. That would
allow no profit, ltut that Is what It
costs the new concern.
This company, of which considera
ble bos been heard of late, has a con
tract with the Atlanta Telephone and
Telegraph Company whereby It Usee
the poles and conduits of the latter to
distribute Its electricity lo the people
of Atlanta.
Mr. Arkwright'. Statement
President Arkwright, of the Georgia
nailway and Electrlo Company, holds
out little hope of lower rates for lights.
Ho has been asked by the council to
gubmlt bids for lighting after May 1 of
next year. In reply to a question re
garding these bids, Ur. Arkwright Is
quoted os saying that the present price
for arc lights. 170 a year, Is low enough,
though he will take the whole matter
under consideration.
President Warner, of the North
Oeorgla Electric Compnny, made tho
following statement to The Georgian:
•;A11 rumors to the effect that our
company Is lo be consolidated with any
other are false and without the slight
est foundation. Our lines are at the
city limits, with 4,000-horse power
ready. 1 regrot that we are not pre
pared to give servlco to the Atlanta
public at once, as our lines Inside the
city arc not completed."
General Warner made no statement
regarding his proposed hid to the elty
lor lights and current, but it has been
understood that It would bo materially
lower than the present rate paid the old
company.
Both Wires In Conduits.
A few days ago, before the commit
tee of council. It was declared by the
old company's representatives that the
carrying of telephone and electrlo wires
In the same conduit would not do.
This is positively denied by expert*
consulted ny the North Oeorgla Com
pany.
To pay tho Atlanta Telephone and
Telegraph Company for the use of It*
conduits and poles In distributing this
electricity to the people of Atlanta, who
nro now paying the old company from
7 to 11 cents per kilowatt hour, the
North Georgia Compnny Is going to
split profits. This Is what the Atlanta
Telephone and Telegraph Company will
get for the use of Its conduits and
poles.
The North Georgia Compnny frankly
admits that It cost* to deliver the elec
trlclty from Gainesville to Atlanta—53
miles—Just seven-tenth* of a cent per
kilowatt hour,
will ba profit. *
IBpflt
All received ovyr
putting Profits.
For alt over that price which Is re
ceived from the people of Atlanta, the
elephone company will receive 3-14ths
for the use of Its pole* and conduit*
while the North Georgia Company
takes ll-14ths for Its share.
When this new concern frankly ad
mils that It cost* seven-tenth* of a cent
per kilowatt hour to deliver the elec
tricity to the city limits of Atlanta, the
people can very readily figure out that
It wouldn't take much more than that
to moke n reasonable profit for the
company.
Whether or not the City of Oakland
has the right to compel the Georgia
Rnllway and Electric Company to put
In two additional stops within the cor
porate limits of that suburban commu
nity, and the right to collect fines Int
posed for violations, was before the *u
. -prams court Wednesday for argument.
Homo time ago Oakland City's city
council passed an ordinance requiring
the street rnllway to put In two addi
tional stops. Tho company promptly
Ignored the new law, whereupon Oak
land City passed un ordinance making
It a misdemeanor for the cars of the
company to go past designated points
when passengers wanted to get aboard.
This was also Ignored, whereupon the
town marshal was.lnstructed to pinch
conductors and motormen. He did so
with fervor until It began to tangle up
trafilc In that direction. Then the Gror-
gtn Railway and Electric Company ask'
rd for an Injunction, which Judge Pen
dleton denied. Upon this point It Is
before the supreme court.

Responsibility
You wouldn’t pay'railway fare to anybody who hap
pened to ask you for it, but only to the responsible uni
formed conductor.
You shouldn’t feel bound to take the first cigar that’s
offered to you, but only the one that’s plainly marked with
the stamp of responsibility—the “Triangle A.”
You know what you*re getting when
You buy a “Triangle A ” Cigar
What dp you know about the nameless and irre
sponsible cigars offered you ?
The “Triangle A” is a guarantee of cigar quality
before you buy.
It’s plain proof that we are willing and anxious to
have the American Cigar Company’s cigars judged strictly
on their merits.
The “Triangle A** has a-wider meaning than •
that' of a mere-.identification mark:
One Side stands for knowing how.
Another Side stands for equipment.
And all that would never be worth a last year’s calendar to ym
if the third side of the “Triangle A” did not stand for the disposition
of the American Cigar Company to give the smoker all the benefit of
its cigar kn&tvledge and cigar-producing equipment.
Therefore~T!he American Cigar Company is taking this occasion
to assure you that its “Triangle A” is a public sign of its definite,
positive and unchangeable intention to offeryou always the best cigars
that its unequalled equipment arid experience are capable of producing.
We manufacture a large number of brands of different blends to
Suit individual tastes.
The New CREMO
affords first-class evidence of the quality that is guaranteed by the
“A” (Triangle A) on the box.

ROMANTIC DEVONSHIRE
Th# Lind Made Famous by Phispotts’
Novels.
Phllpotts has made us familiar with
romantic Devonshire, In hi* fascinating
novel*. "The River,' 1 "Children of tho
Mist," etc. Tho characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Uhl.
Bldeford. North Devon, states:
"For 30 years I drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner, but some 6 yean
ago I found that It waa producing In
digestion and heart'-bum. and was
making mo restless at night. These
symptoms wore followed by brain fag
and a sluggish msntal condition.
When 1 realised this, I made up my
mind to quit drinking coffee and
having read of Poetum, 1 concluded to
try It. I had It carefully made, accord
ing to directions and found to my
agreeable surprise at the end of a
week, that 1 no longer suffered from
either Indigestion, heart-burn, or brain
fag. and that I could drink It at night
and secure restful and refreshing sleep.
“Since that time we have, entirely
discontinued the use of the old kind of
coffee, growing fonder and fonder of
Postum as time goes on. My digestive
organs certainly do their work much
better now than before, a result due to
Ppetum Food Coffee, I am satisfied.
As a table beverage we find (for all
the members of my family use It) that
when properly made It Is most refresh
ing and agreeable, pt delicious flavor
and aroma. Vigilance Is. however, nec.
essary to secure this, for unless the
servants are watched they are Ukely to
neglect the thorough boiling which It
must have In order to extract the good
ness from the cereal." Name glren by

vllle." in pkga. "There's a reason."
