CELEBRATES
[
The Fourth Begins
Early in
Atlanta.
RED MEN HAVE .
TIME OF LIVES
Parks and Baseball Fields
Full of Out-door
Lovers.
Atlanta is celebrating the Fourth of
July as she has not celebrated it in
many and many a year.
The observance Is general. The man
of means and the man in rags, the
young and the old. employer and clerk
—all entered Into the spirit of the day,
and patriotism Is rampant.
Probably more business houses closed
In Atlanta in observance of the great
national holiday that marks the birth
of freedom than ever before. The few
that did not close tile entire day closed
at noon.
The youngsters could not wait until
the great day was ushered in, and on
the night of Wednesday the blaze of
rockets and the boom-boom of Are and
cannon crackers made the old soldiers
think that war had been renewed and
Atlanta was being stormed again by
Shot and shell.
Up Early on Fourth.
Early In the morning the youngsters
-Home in spirit and some in age—were
up and at it again. Everybody was
happy. A contagion of smites spread
over the city, and the stern business
man had a cordial handshake for the
mtn of yesterday who was-trying to
wipe him off the face of the commercial
map and for the elves and urchins of
the streets who popped the cannon
crackers under his feet.
Then there were Hags and bunting in
abundance. Not a few of the stores
decorated in fitting observance of the
day, and "Old Glory" streamed in the
breeze through the livelong day.
There was plenty to amuse and to en
tertaln. Atlanta and Montgomery mix
ed It up in the morning, and in the aft
ernoon at Ponce DeLeon park, and the
wlhl-eyed and leather-lunged rooters
, had opportunities galore to make
gala day of it.
Fans at ths Games.
Thousands of people turned out to
both games. In addition to the almost
innumerable host of Atlanta fans, Mont,
gomery sent a goodly delegation and
they were on hand to make things live
ly and keep them humming.
Atlanta's parks were scenes of the
fnyest and most rampant activity.
Ponce DeLeon, with Its beautiful,
level walks. Its shady nooks and cool
retrents. its theater and all the amuse
ments that go to make it an ideal play
ground, was thronged with pleasure-
seekers bent on making the Fourth a
glorious one.
The cars to White City, Atlanta’s new
park, were crowded all day, and the
street car company was forced to short
en the schedule and put on a large
number of special cars to care for the
great crowds. The vaudeville theater
was running the entire day.
Special programs of music were ar
ranged and the bands at the respective
parks helped to make the Fourth
hummer.
Out at Grant Park.
At Grant park, Atlanta's great play
ground, there was an Incessant How of
People, old and young. The zoo. with
all the new animals, the beautiful
shaded walks, the lake, and the other
things that combine to make
Grant park such a splendid place
■nr just such a day, were thronged with
happy, smiling, laughing celebrants.
The Fourth in every way has been
one of the old-fashioned kind. It has
oeen such a day as one who loves his
country could not help but feel happy
o'er and everybody and everything—
not barring the splendid weather—com-
nmod to make the anniversary of the
birth of "the land of the free and the
nomc of the brnve" a day never to be
regretted and not soon to be forgotten.
Pont forget the Red Men. It is a
Man’s Fourth. The Jovial Chero-
Sioux and other tribes captured
jnd held the city its hostage the whole

SEVENTEEA TROLLEY CARS
HELD UP By ONE BULL DOG;
MA TTER DEFEA TED MIND
The glance of a bull dog's eye and the
raising of n few hairs on the brute's neck
•topped seventeen street ears Tuesday aft
ernoon, blocking the Mltehell nnd Whitehall
lines for fully fifteen minutes, while hun
drills of puszled passengers ernned their
necks lu an effort to see what the matter
was. Only those lu the ear with the dog
got the lienetlt of the comedy ennete«* *“
which two street ear men and two poi
leu figured most prominently.
A pnssenger bourded the ear at the cor-
of Whitehall and Mltehell nnd uncon
ccruedly took his sent. Following him
came a heavy-set white bulldog, which curl
ed up beneath his master's feet. The keen
eye of the conductor caught sight of the
anlmnl and be made haste.
“If you haven't a dog pass I will have to
put that dog olT,*' said the conductor, pleas
antly.
The passenger smiled.
“Here,” said the conductor, “he can’t
stay on this cnr.’* And he made n move
ment ns If to grab the dog bjr the col
lar. Then the dog looked at him. 8ome say
the animal winked.
The conductor came bnek with the motor-
man. who also said the dog hnd no right
to ride on the ear. The motorinnn squatted
down, looked the dog over; then shook his
head. "Look here.” be Mid, 'It ain't my

he went back to the front end. where he
pounded the bell Impatiently.
The conductor set out-In search of • po
liceman. In tho meantime the car remain
ed stationary, and the dog beneath the seat
dosed his eyes. One by one the other
passengers took a look at him.
Ilehlnd the car In which the dog lay were
other cars, all motionless. Each minute
Increased the number, until the string
reached to Whitehall, where the congestion
threatened nil sorts of things.
Accompanied by two policemen, the con
doctor returned, and. pointing out the dog,
said, "There he l». One of the officers
put out his hnnd, but drew It back. There
wus a brief consultation, and tho older
officer referred to a book of rules lu his

“There Isn't nny city ordinance against
dogs riding on tho cars," said the senior
cop. “At least I never heard of It. It'*
against the rules of the company, but then,
we don't work for the company," nnd the
officers marched away.

MAKES SHORT TALK
Best Convention Ever Held
Draws Carriers to At
lanta For Fourth.
About 150 of the most prominent
buslnezs men of Atlanta met at the
Piedmont Hotel at 3:50 o’clock Wed
neBday afternoon and adopted resolu
tlons strongly opposing the proposed
state prohibition law, and urging the
legislature not to abolish the local op'
tlon ayatem.
Their practical unanimity of sentl
ment on the resolution, and the fact
that the meeting included many of the
leading business men of Atlanta, make
the meeting worthy of more than
passing^ottce.
The resolutions urge that local option
la tl.o most democratic system and the
most satisfactory one for Aghting the
whisky evil. It Is urged that the coun<
ties that have “gone dry" be protected
in every possible way from the incur
slon of whisky Into Its borders and that
severe penalties be thrown around those
ho violate tho wishes of these cuun
ties.
The resolutions charge that state pro
hlbltlon la contrary to the policy of
home rule and that It would severely
Injure the material welfare of this and
nthflr -hjrge "It!.,. In the »tate and
would tend to make tho morals worse
rather than better.
Tried it Two Year*.
It Is pointed out and strongly empha
sised that Atlanta once tried prohlbl
tlon for about two years, and that It not
only cut the city oft from great reve
nues and crippled the business interests
of the city In general, but the moral
condition. It is stated, was worse and
there Was more debauchery and drunk
enness then than tljere has ever been
since.

the meeting and W. L. Peel was secre

Following nre the preamble and res

"Whereas, There are now pending be
fore the general assembly of Georgia

either of which measures. If enacted,
will undertake to forbid the manufac

Ac, representing In the aggregate every
large proportion of the material wealth
and property holding Interests of Atlan
ta, Is convinced beyond all question that
such sumptuary legislation as Is pro
posed can not and will not accomplish
the purpose of Its enactment, but on the
contrary will be productive of great
moral wrong, as well as useless de
struction of property values, depriving
the state and cities of large revenues
and crippling the educational as well
as all other public enterprises main
tained and carried on by the govern
ment: and
“Whereas, We believe that the real
object of those who favor state prohi

ly accomplished by the enactment of
legislation thnt will absolutely protect
the prohibition counties from the Im

“Really, I have nothing to say.'*
After some further conversation, the
