“The North Georgia Electric Com
pany is still In the ring.'
This was the statement of W, A. Car
lisle, vice president, Wednesday morn
ing.
The North Georgia Is the company
hich the people of Atlanta have been
depending on for competition in lights,
and the fact that there was little evi
dence of recent work In the city had
raised the fear that the .project had
been abandoned.
"This work,” explained Mr. Carlisle,
'cannot be done In a day. Our lines
are completed to the city limits and
e have the power ready to be con
verted Into current. Our oondutts and
pole lines In the city have not been
completed, however, and we are wait
ing on this. According to the grant
made by the city, the company has ten
months' more time."

power from Gainesville, recently com
peted lighting In Buford, and is now
furnishing practically all the power
being used In the factories In and
around that thriving little city. The
company has also closed a contract
Ith Norcross.
The Gainesville Street Car Company
has Us power furnished by the North

tempt Case.
Asheville, N. C„ Ang. 14.—Federal Judgo
C. Prltcbard yesterday Issued a tempo-
rary Injunction restraining B. C. Beckwith,
of Raleigh, a state officer, from bringing
suit against tho North Carolina railroad to
recover penalties for the failure of the road
to put into efTect the 244 cents fare pre
scribed by the state statute.
The North Carolina railroad Is owned by
the state, but operated under lease by tho
•Southern railway. The 244 cents fare Is
now In effect ns a result of the compromise
between the railroads nnd Governor Glenn.
The suits are directed against the period
prior to the compromise, when the Southern
railway, under protection of an Injunction
Issued by Judge Pritchard, maintained Its
a statement that he Intended to bring such
a suit against the North Carolina railroad,
Judge Pritchard promptly Issued a tem
porary Injunction restraining him.
In the matter of the contempt case,
Judge Pritchard made no decision.

PRISONER CLAIMED HOUSE
OWNED By STERN JUDGE
About the most surprised prisoner
ever arraigned In the recorder’s court
was John Brown, a negro, about flVe
minutes after his hearing began Wed
nesday morning. Councilman Stephen
C. Glass was acting aa recorder and he
asked the prisoner where he had his
place of business.
“Right up hero at 126 Marietta street.
Judge,” he answered.'
"Well, either you or I am being
cheated then,” said the councilman. “I
pay rent for that building myself.”
Brown actually was paralyzed, so far
as power of speech was concerned. He
tried to say something, but couldn't.
All he could do was wave his hands.
When his vocal cords got off their
strike he admitted he didn’t have any
place of business.
There are already about forty
charges against Brown and It Is ex
pected that when -his case Is called
Thursday there will be nearly 100 cases
against him. He has been operating as
a second-hand clothes dealer for about
three months. He worked many
schemes to get hold of clothing, but
usually he would get several garments
and then declare that some of them
were too good to sell.
"Let me take these away,” he would
say. "and I'll bring them back looking
like new.” Only he never did. Police,
man Adams caught him Tuesday and
recovered some,of the clothing. After
his case was continued Wednesday
Plain Clothes Officers Rowan and Ros
ser took him In charge and began to
make a round of pawnshops nnd scc-
end-hand stores. At noon they had
collected nearly a wagon load of stuff
that Brown had disposed of. What
made It coaler was that the negro kept
a day book In which he kept a record
of nearly every purchase and sale.

tive of the company makes the follow
ing statement:

TELEPHONE SERVICE
IS
Uncle Sam may take a hand In the
genera! complaints that are being
registered dally against the Southern
Bell telephone service of Atlanta.
At the Department of the Gulf the
army officers have been conducting a
series of telephone tests or investiga
tions which, according to their state
ments, have not resulted In favorable
mention of tho telephone company,
fact, several of the officers are irate,
and lengthy reports of the trouble are
being written for the authorities at
Washington to go over. There is some
talk of delaying payment for the serv
Ice furnished Uncle Sam until the
company finds somo means of making
connections within a reasonable length
of time.
Watch In hand and receiver pressed
against his ear, one of the most dis
tinguished officers of the staff stood
for forty minutes Tuesday afternoon
endeavoring to get a number on the
north side. At the end of eighteen
minutes central answered and gave
him the chief operator, who, after six
minutes' investigation, said that she be
lieved something was wrong with his
signal. Twenty-six minutes later the
desired number was obtained.
similar performance took place
Wednesday morning, but It only re
quired twenty-seven minutes to get
Fort McPherson on the wire.» These
are, according to the officers, extreme
cases, but frequently from five to fif
teen minutes Is consumed In an effort
to get connection. AH such Instances
are beln duly recorded for the benflt
of the war department at Washington.
The officers are not alone in their
complaint. Citizens state that where
it should require less than a minute to
get a number, they are forced to wait
from four to fifteen minutes or else
hang up the receiver and walk.
Bicycle Officer Payne is the latest
addition to the class of nature fakers.
He declares that a lot of vicious dogs
that roam in the vicinity of Crew and
Love streets not only have a leader and
lieutenants, but sentnes aa well.- Tho
sentries are responsible for the fact
that he hasn't been able to get near
enough to the dogs to shoot them, he
says.
For ten days people of that locality
have been complaining about the dogs.
They said the dogs howled at night,
snapped at their children and killed
chickens. Many times the officers have
tried to catch the dogs, but when they
reached one of the dogs’ meeting places

BOY AND MELON -
CHASED BY COPS
Few desperate criminals ever were
chased by such a posse as was Jesse
Waldron, a 9-year-old negro, Tuesday
night. It was Just after the board of
police commissioners had gone Into
executive session, and there were prob
ably fifty officers waiting to hear the
result of the meeting.
Suddenly there was a scream that
w*as loud, even for a Decatur street
scream. Then came more screams, and
excited conversation In Greek. Nobody
knew what It was about, but everybody
was out of the chairs and down the
steps in a minute. Three bicycle offi
cers were off In the lead, with a score
of officers on foot running behind, but
Sergeant Landrum, In Chief Jennings'
buggy, passed them.
The little negro was fast, however,
and he covered three blocks before he
was overhauled. Seeing escape was
Impossible, he backed up against a
fence and deliberately smashed a
watermelon he had carried all that
time.
At the fruit stand opposite the police
station It was said that Ben had paid
a nickel for a melon and then picked
up a dime melon and made off. Jesse
denied this. .He said that he ran be
cause the Greek looked as if he was
going to hit him.

Clilengo, Ills., Aug. 14.—"A new 'solid
South,’ this tlmo solid for prohibition,''
hnt Rev. Sam Small predicted in an In
terview today. Mr. nud Mrs. Small are In
Chicago for n few days en route to various
lecture engagements which Mr. Small has
accepted In the central west during a short
vnratloii.
“Few people realise how near we are al>
ready to national prohibition victory
clnred Mr. Small, continuing b)s comment
on the meaning of the rapid succession of
hard whacks dealt the drink business In
tho past few months by court, press,and
legislature alike.
“The business walls about Its millions of
losses In Georgia, but the people down
there are not complaining. Twenty million
dollars that has heretofore gone Into the
cash box of the drunkard-maker will
largely go to the banks or swell the pro
ceeds of legitimate trade.
'Thero la no question about the enforce'

there was a scurrying of paws and dogs

LABOR AGENT MUST
PAY HEAVY FINE
J. E. Kelley, an Immigration agent
who was arrested charged with operat
ing without a license, was before Acting
Recorder Glass Wednesday. He ad
mitted he was trying to get men to
take to Louisville, Ky., but said he
had no Intention of beating the law.
Ho said he did not Intend to sign any
contracts with the men until he had
secured his license. At the time of his
arrest, he said, he was waiting for
money from Louisville to pay for the
license.
Hla story Impressed both the record
er and the Inspector who made the ar
rest, but Councilman Glass eald the law
was plain and so had been the viola
tion of It. He therefore fined Kelley
1100 or thirty days In the stockade.
Kelley snld he would be able to raise
the money In twenty-'ohr hours and
he will be held at the police station that
length of time.
The action of the county commis
sioners Wednesday regarding the Sun
day sale of soft drinks outside the city
resulted Sunday In the opening of a
large number of stands In various
parts of the county, and Tuesday In
the arrest of R. S. Hudson, at Buck-
head, on a warrant sworn out by Rev.
E. W. Jones, of the Methodist church,
who stated that he would proa;cuto
every Sunday opener on hls circuit,
which Includes four churches on the
north side of Atlanta. Further devel
opments are expected next Sunday.
In this rather unusual move, Mr.
Jones was supported by practically tho
entire congregation of Sardis church.
He addressed them Sunday upon tho
subject, and It Is stated received their
assurance that they believed In closing
them up and would help In the prose
cution.
Monday morning Mr. Jonea swore
out the warrant In the city court and
Hudson was arrested. He was releas
ed under a 3200 bond and seemed to
think that the charge would amount to
nothing.
The statement of tho county com
missioners, which Indirectly began
this warfare between those who would
sell soft drinks on Sunday and those
opposed to it, was to the effect that
the county officers should not make
arrests unless there were disorder or
complaints from other citizens. As
the reason for this Colonel Anderson
said that he did not think it right that
the county stands should be closed
while those in the city ran unhindered.
Rev. C. N. Peek, of tho Baptist '
church, who lives at Buckhead, said
Tuesday morning:
"The people of my neighborhood
condemn the action of the county com
missioners. We believe In enforcing
the statute on the book strictly. We
would like to see the stands closed In
the city and intend to close them In
this part of the county." •
