WIFE’S TROUBLES
Citizens living In the neighborhood of
Marietta street and Tabernacle Place
are up In arms against the sanitary de
partment and all city officials connected
therewith, because of the Insanitary
conditions which they allege prevail In
the neighborhood.
Tho complaint Is based upon the cus
tom of garbage wagon drivers who
dump garbage, trash, etc. In tho sewers
Just below tho crematory Instead of
bunting It as Is required.
“The odor arising from thla garbage
Is something fearful," said Mr.' Abbott,
of the Abbott Furniture Company, Fri
day morning. “This tilth Is dum|>cd In
the sewers by tho wagon load and It Is
carried through the sewers when It
should be burned.
"In the afternoon, between the hours
of 4 and 6 o'clock. It Is almost Impos
sible to stay In the neighborhood on ac
count of It. Repeated protests to the
sanitary department and other city of
ficials have done no good. We have
told them about It tlmo and again, and
have stated that the condition is almost
unbearable, but our complaints have
apparently met with Indifference nnd
have been totally disregarded. It Is
time that something should be done to
remedy the nuisance.”
Mr. Abbott was not alone In his ar
raignment of the sanitary department.
There were other gentlemen ’ present
who cither live or conduct businesses
In the vicinity and they were unani
mous In the assertion that somebody’s
duty Is being neglected so long as pres
ent conditions prevail.

Scream, of r woman and curie, of a

man Charles M. Roberts, the acting re
corder. Mrs. Shelton was the^prose-
cutlng witness.
"I’m sorry to say that this Is my
husband and that I’ve been big enough
fool to stay married to him twenty-four
years,” said she. "I don’t know how-
many times he has been arrested for
being drunk and disorderly. He just
got out of the stockade Tuesday and I
felt sorry for him. He promised to
behave, so I took him to my sister’s
home.
“He stayed there the first night, but
didn’t show up the nexL He came back
during the day, though, and broke Into
my room. Last night I determined to
stay at the hotel, where I earn my liv
ing. as I have been forced to do for
a good many years. He disturbed me
several times during the night by tele
phoning to me, and when I Anally came
down stairs to see If I could quiet him,
he attacked me.”
Shelton had no witnesses and wanted
a postponement, but the recorder de
cided the stockade would be the best
place for him for the next thirty days.

Lexington, Ky„ Aug. 21.—In his ad
dress, opening the Republican state
campaign In Kentucky, last night Sec
retary of War William H. Taft did not
refer to the charges of Senator FOfa-
ker that he declared himself against
Cox and the Cincinnati government two
years ago. nor did he make any com.
ment on Foraker’s charges. He In
dorsed the candidacy of A. E. Wilson
for governor of Kentucky and the work
of Walter Evans as district judge In
Louisville.
The auditorium at Woodland Park,
where Secretary Taft spoke, was hand,
somely decorated and there were many
ladles In the Immense audience.
Judge Cr.sr’e Introduction.
Judge K. C. Creur made the Intro
ductory address, commending Mr. Taft
to the people as one of the foremost
thinkers of the country.
Mr. Taft said he-hud loved Kentucky
since he was a small boy, nnd often
looked across ths river from Cincinnati
toward the green hills of the Bourbon
State for the first glimpse of the ap
proaching spring.
After mentioning the various means
of disfranchising voters, declaring that
such taws were proper If applied with
equal falrnesa to both white nnd black,
he expressed the hope that the colored
citizens, under the lendershlp of such
men as Booker T. Washington, would
become respected business men of com
munities In which they live. .
As to the 8olid South.
The secretary continued:
"If only under the Influence of the
present administration some of tho
Southern states. Including Kentucky,
could be led Into the Republican col
umn in accordance with the real sym
pathies of tho voters of these states, It
would be a crowning glory of the ad
ministration. It will not necessarily
work for the benefit of tho Republican
party In the end, because the closeness
with which the Southern states have
unltPd In support of the Democratic
candidates and the Democratic pnrty
has Introduced u similar cohesion
among the Northern states and we
might expert much more Independence
of voting at the North If the voters
there Were not confronted with the sol
idarity of tho South.”
In the question of greater congres
sional representation than the vote of
the South seemeil to warrant, ho found
nn Injustice which he believed had been
largely counterbalanced by Its tendency
to drive Northern voters Into the Re
publican party.

and privileges of Increase to $60,000.
The attorneys are Ennis A Spence.
Schemes for getting around the pro-
Ihlbttlon law In Georgia after January
1 next are already being sprung.
One enterprising whisky house In
Cincinnati Is out with tfte first. Evi
dently the officials of the company have
lain" awake o’ ( nights framing up this
proposition.
And now they spring It.
But If many Judges In the state are
like one who has already spoken pub
licly, the agents of this Cincinnati out
fit would probably break Into trouble.
A few days ago this whisky house
sent out circulars to whisky dealers In
Georgia boosting the goods the house !
sells. Incidentally the circular remark
ed significantly that the house had a
plan for whisky men to sell the for
bidden fluid In Georgia aftdr January 1,
Without violating the law. It was also
remarked that any live, hustling booze
booster could make more than he was
now making.
Tho plan wasn’t given. But the read,
er was told the plan would be made
known It the reader was Interested
enough to Inquire about It.
This Cincinnati outfit kept Its word.
|Here is Its letter:
Become an ’’Agent.”
"You ran take out a retail liquor
dealer’s license here 4n Cincinnati,
which will cost you $25 per year. You
can put otA a. sign and make your
office here In Cincinnati your headquar
ters. without the necessity of your
coming here to live or remain any
length of time. This gives you the
privilege of shipping goods from here,
and It does not In any way prohibit you
from soliciting orders In your state.
"You could solicit orders either per
sonally or by mall, having your circu
lars sont from here to consumers In
your locality. The prices given In our
list are to you, and you would have to
obtain your profit over and above them.
In fact, our lists should not fall Into tho
■hands of your customers at all. Yon
could sell wines, whiskies, gins and
ether articles In Jugx and In cases con
taining four bottles.
"This Is the plan wo havo followed
with any number of parties In different
sections of the country, and you would
be amazed to find what business they
have been doing. Of couree, If you have
any suggestions of your own to offer
on any point, we could vary our plans
accordingly. The amount of profit you
would obtain would be left entirely to
your discretion and to your good Judg
ment In each Instance. We could fur
thermore obtain for you an approxi
mate figure on AxpreM charge* on dif
ferent packages, and you could be gov
erned accordingly when making your
pricee.
No C. O. D. Business.
"You understand, of course, that a
C. O. D. business could not be handled,
and the money would have to accom
pany the orders, and If you sold any
goods to parties whoiq you considered
good for the money, the risk would
I have to be yours and not ours. All
shipments would have to bo made di
rect to the parties, as we could not
make the collections, as the express
companies would not handle them In
this way.
"You furthermore know that It Is
contrary to the Interstate commereo
laws for express companies or railroads
to refuse to handle whisky shipment,
when they are billed direct, and con
sequently you would 1 havo no difficulty
In getting the goods Into the towns In
your state.”
In addition to this part of tho plan
given, the Cincinnati outfit Illustrates
how much money may be made by giv
ing prices of Its goods and by telling
the prospective agent how much he can
charge hlr customers and make a profit.
Before this scheme gets to working
on an extensive scale It Is quite protuu
hie that the Georgia xAntl-Saloon
League will get busy and queer the
game.
