Victory About to Crown Long
\ Fight For Pennant.
After twenty-one years of patient,
hopeful watting Atlantn nt laat seems
on the point of realising a long-cher
ished desire of winning ft champion
ship In the Southern Association of
Baseball Clubs.
; Let It not bo understood that At
lanta has tried imadccestfully twenty-
one years. Many senaolia during the
period which olopsed between the
Winning of the pennant of 188G and
the present timo have been without
Southern leagues. But from 1008,
when Atlanta went Into the 8outhom
League until this year, Atlantn has
had to be contented with a position,
of secondary Importance.
Only once has Atlanta finished oven
as well as second. That ivu In 1004.
In 1006 and 1004 Atlanta was third
at the wind-up. In 1001 and 1003, At
lanta .wan fourth, - , '
The reward of A pennant Is one
well deserved by the people who have
patronised baseball In Atlanta.
Through trouble! and disappoint
ments of many kind* the fanatics
have kept right nn going to the games
and paying their good money to
sec victories or defeats—whichever
came. '•
The pennant Is likewise a well-
earned reward for the baseball asso
ciation. Tho game has practically al
ways paid woll In Atlanta, and tho
baseball association has been pros
perous. But the organisation' has
shown a willingness to spend money
and to taka chances and hat In the
main given the patrons a fair deal.
It may be, es has often been pre
dicted. that, the winning of a pennant
Will bring misfortune to the local «s-
•oclatlou lu a financial way. The as
sociation. however, has shown a fine
disregard for the well-founded theory
that a pennant-winner coats more
money than It earns. And It Is doubt
ful If the piece of hunting that Is so
sure to float from the now peunaut
pole will prove an expeuslve Invest
ment.
The people of Atlanta seom to love
the game for Itself. They do not use
It as u gambling proposition nor do
they % absolutely demand a pennant-
wlnuer. And they will always go to
sec baseball games, for Atlantans love
bdseball for what It Is at its best—a
clean, fast, entertaining game, free
from all telut of fraud—the Amerl-
cant’ national pastime.

ALABAMA'S POSITION REGARDING PROHIBITION.
The municipal conditions now existing at Birmingham, Ala., present
certain phaseB worthy of the serious consideration of other sections of
the country, especially of Georgia.
A straggle, fierce and determined. Is being waged by tho advocates
of prohibition against an clement said to represent the whisky Inter
ests of that city.
Months ago,, looking to the bettorment of conditions which have ob
tained for years, the mayor, Hon. George B. Ward, endeavored with all
of his aggressive force to have enacted certain high license laws which
would limit to a great extent the sales of ll-pior within municipal lines.
In this splendid fight Mayor Ward had the support and Indorsement of
a very Influential element. But, at tho crucial moment. It was proven
by a vote In tho city council that the “whisky element” was In the ma
jority, and high license was defeated. Bnt tho struggle was only tem
porarily checked. Encouraged by success during the absence of Mayor
Ward on a vacation trip to Europe tho opponents of high license and
prohibition were responsible for a surprising revolution In municipal af
fairs, and as far as possible attempted to nullify tho Influenco mid au
thority of tho courageous young mayor.
But ns one learns from ancient and modern history, revolutions do
not always lead to victory the men who Inaugurate them.
In America all revolutionists must reckon with that tremendous
conservator of good government, which (ft called public opinion. It
stands alertly on guard In the.presenco of overy question ot moral or
politico) Import, which affects the wslfsrt ot American citizenship.
Public opinion made Itself manifest, speedily In Birmingham after
the attempted municipal upheaval, and, now before the absent mayor
has returned to his duties, his opponents nrq vigorously striving to go
on record as advocates of high license laws! The change of front, sud
den and Inconsistent, boa created mors than a local tntereat, Inasmuch
Is Involved tho great queitlon of prohibition, which la Inilatently mak
ing Itself a dominant Issue before the people of Alabama.
To an onlooker, separated from tho field of contest, by Imaginary
geographical lines and by the ruddy waters of the Chattahoochee, there
can be but one explanation of the change ot policy by Mayor Ward's
opponents, namely, tho growing sentiment for prohibition, which la
dally gaining auch strength In Alabama, that the algns ot the times all
point to ultlmato triumph. To stem this ever-increasing tide of public
Indorsement of prohibition and to placate an Influential conservative
element,.the enemies of Mayor Ward are vainly struggling to reinstate
themselves and 'to Iteop In touch with tho progress of events. What the
Anal -outcome In Birmingham's municipal affairs will bo, remains to he
seen, hut one thing appears to be definitely settled: Alabama will soon
take her stand side by aide with Georgia for prohibition, and from the
present outlook, nothing will be strong enough to provi)nt the final suc
cess of this great movement.
For the first time In the history ot Alabama prohibition has become
a state Issue, enlisting the Interest of all classes of peoplo. Public senti
ment In favor of this question la gaining power'In ft surprising degree
with all classei, and there aeems to be but Infinitesimal doubt tnat
when the tssue Is made at the ballot box, the remit will place Alabama
In line with Georgia as a prohibition state. When this Is accomplished,
of course Birmingham will lie eliminated from consideration, aa a rally
ing point for the tvhlsky traffic, which found the climate of Georgia un
congenial aud unproductive.
Chattanooga will roiuatn the only city of refuge for the whisky ele
ment In proximity to Atlanta. Judging from the growth of public senti
ment throughout the South In favor of prohibition, even tho gates of
Chattanooga will he finally closed u|>on a traffic In the wake of which
lie tho pitiful wrecks of human bodies and human souls. The present
status of affairs In Alabama la In line with a sentiment which la rap
idly becoming widespread and aim oat universal.

RAILWAY PA88ENGER RATE8.
To the Editor of The Georgian;
2 desire to make one further state
ment regarding the passenger ratw
question In this state.
It la claimed that the railroad com
mission spent ninety days of careful
study before reaching a decision as to
the schedule ot farce which It finally
| adopted early In June. The writer of
this article spent nearly two years of
close application to detail before tec-
ognlilng the fact that his theories rel
ative to the proper hauls for passen
ger fares were In several Instances or-
.roneotis and that It was necessary for
him to abundon Ills previous methods
and make n fresh start. An experience
of over twenty years has. however.
JAMES L. MAYSON FOR CONGRESS.'
The formal announcement of Hon. James 1* Mayson that he la k
candidate for congress from the Fifth district la a source of much grati
fication to his friends, who had expected such an announcement for
several weeks. So persistent had been the rumor that Mr. Mayson
would onter the Hats against Hon. Leonidas F. Livingston that two or
ganisations. the Young Men's Prohibition league nnd the City Sales
men, had already Indorsed him as their chosen candidate, without wait
ing for his formal declaration.
Ibat James L. Mayson Is a power In Fulton county |iaa been shown
In the recent past, when, under hi* direction, the Fulton County Anti-
Saloon League elected every one et It: Indorsed candidates to tho city
council. I’nder hit direction, the league had done a great share of the
'orm bases are the best.
Bo far aa the railways are concerned
one possible drawback In the way ot
reaching a fair compromise with the
■tat* authorities lu that only a few of
the executive officials have had much
better opportunity ot airrlvlng at an in
telligent understanding of the euhject
than have the state railroad commis
sioners, the result being that both par
ties to this Important question arc to a
more or lees extent working In the
dark.
It Is, of course, .true that the railway
executives are In a position where they
can profit by the experience of their
subordinates In charge of passenger
details, but It Is also true that these
subordinates ure not Infrequently fet-
ti red by the opinions of their superiors
and do not feel freu to give full ex
pression to their Individual Judgment.
The executives are therefore In a meas
ure forced to rely on statistical Infor
mation ns an argument against reduc
tions In rotes, which (lata, even al
though It may be prepared In a thor
oughly equitable manner, Is not aa a
general thing a clear Index of the re
sults to.be ettalned. I will here stale
that In all my experience I dp not re
call a sing!* Instance where a mod
orate reduction in local passenger fares
operated to the disadvantage of the
railway making Hit reduction. Of
course there Is a limit below which It
would be unjust to force a railway to
go, or unwise for It to experiment with
of Itself, but a moderate reduction from
the fares whloh have been In force In
Georgia and other Southern state* up
to a recent date would not In my Judg.
ment do any Injury. The fares which
I consider proper were publishotl In
The Georgian ot September 4, and are
ns follows:
Regular one-way travel. 21-8 cents
per mils: I.OdO books, 11-4 cents' per
mile, or 111.40; 2,009 boohs 1 cents per
mile, or 140.

A Thrilling Story of Mystery dndAdventure
SYNOPSIS.
I
To the Editor of The Georgian:
It occurs to me; that the opinion (un
official; however) of Attorney General
Hart relative to the antl-narcotlc bill
recently passed by the legislature, and
particularly the readings and comments
thereon by some of the newspapers, no
tnbly The Augusta Chronicle, In con
neetton with the publication of Mr.
Hart's opinion, do the medical profes
slon, and even the druggists of Geor
gla. an unintentional Injustice
The Chronicle, In the Isaue con
talnlng Attorney General Hart's review
of the bill, In the first column of the
front page, In bold type, heads the
Item, "Narcotic Drug Act Aimed
Doctors." Why aimed at doctors?
aimed at the doctors, me legislative
muzzle was In this Instance trained
upon an unoffending target. Granting
that there may be some among the
noble calling who “would not scruple
to thus destroy their fellow-men, men
tally, morally and physically (as The
Chronicle puts It)," for the purpose of
trafficking In these narcotic drugs for
gain, the doctors had no opportunity
to reap any remunerative benefits
thereby, for under the law existing
prior to the late enactment it was
not required or necessary for one
obtain a prescription from n physician
In order to procure the narcotics sped
fled In the late act. All they had tc
do was to go to the drug store nnd
call for what they wanted. Nor did
they even have to go to the druggist,
for these narcotics, particularly lauda
num and morphine, are being sold In
almost every country nnd village store
throughout Georgia, and In numbers of
the small groceries of the towns and
cities—and that In violation of the pre
existing taw. Therefore, I fall to see
wherein any possible pecuniary gain
from this source could come to the
physicians under the old law to serve
as n motive for their encouragement of
the habitual use of narcotics.
On the other hand, under the new
law there la, to a small extent, i
probable source ot revenue to the phy
slcian. Here Is the difference. Before,
any one. habitual user or not, could
obtain these drugs In any quantity de
sired—from the 'druggists or almost
any country or village store. They
need never have been prescribed by a
physician. Now. a prescription must
be obtained—and a new prescription—
for each purchase. So from a “traf
ficking''' standpoint, the latter law Is
dtcldedly the better for the physician.
However, a large majority perhaps
of these habituates arc destitute of
means to pay their doctor's bills, and I
dare say there asc few physicians who
are looking forward to a rich harvest
of shekels ns a result of the new drug
law. The few extra dollars they wll
mnke will bo by no means commensu
rate with the nnnn.vance occasioned'by
the appeals of unfortunates—not for
treatment, but for '"prescriptions"—
which a large portion wilt expect gratis.
GEORGIAN BAY CANAL.
dispatch from Ottawa, Canada
states that the Georgian Bay Canal
Commission has practically completed,
at a cost of some 2400,000, a thorough
■array of the proposed 21-foot water
way rrom Georgian Bay to Montreal
via the French river, Nlpiselng and the
work which resulted in the passage of the prohibition bill before the Ottawa river. The engineer* of the
assembly, and it was largely due to his Influence that thl* Victory was I Commission have not compiled a final
followed by that at the Atlanta polls. Throughout the Fifth district he
enjoys a popularity built up along strong personal lines and upon his
Identification with all large civic movements and a never-falling willing
ness to lend hit presence and talents on public occasions.
Aa city attorney of Atlanta. Mr. Mayson baa made an enviable rec
ord. A lawyer of more than ordinary ability, be hat defended the city
against Imposition with alt the vigor which a counsellor could give a
cltenL and the city has saved handreds of thousand* through (he vigi
lance and wisdom of his administration of Its legal, affairs.
That Mr. Mayson would serve his district with honor should he be
elected to represent the Fifth In congress, non* can doubt. Hit long
service to the city, Eta ability aa an orator and a parliamentarian, hla
thorough knowledge of the sentiment ot his district, give him a peculiar
fitness for the position.
That be la opposing a nun with

ley I* expected to become one of the
greatest manufacturing centers of the
continent. Referring to the early con-
And perhaps herein lies the secret of
th* assertion that the bill was “aimed
nt the doctors."
Now as to the druggists. I dare aay
there ls hnrdly a druggist In Georgia
who would hesltote to tyfus* a sale
oT one of these drugs. If he thought by
withholding the sale he would add an
lota to the well-being of his prospective
purchaser. Their sale (by druggists
only) was legitimate—authorised by an
act of the legislature—and If refused
nt ono drug store they could go to an
other nnd obtain the desired drug—or
to some country store where sold In
violation of law.
It Is true the former law required a
record of each sale made by the drug
gist—the arllrir, quantity, date, to
whom sold and the purpose for which
It was bought. There never seemed
any Inclination of the authorities to
enforce the law, and druggists came to
l>e somewhat’ lax In observing the re
quirements of keeping a record of sales.
In my general reference to narcotics
In the foregoing I exclude cocaine,
which Is an extremely dangerous drug,
and few druggists would dare to sell
It except on prescription rrom a physi
cian, although hllowed by the law.
I believe the new drug law It a good
one, but I can not conceive that It was
In any manner aimed nt doctors and
druggists—especially the doctors. In
fact, l don't believe It was nlmed at
anybody, but la one of those reform
measures enacted for the general wel
fare of all, in the Interest of humanity,
and It places a great responsibility
upon the physicians of the state, in
Hint they are to be, the sole Judges as
to the needs of these unfortunate'rnset,

The next momsnt she recoiled with n

and apology. Carl Mustier and Nurse
Mason stood close together by one win.
dow of the small bare room, evidently
tngoffed In a very confidential talk.
They started violently apart ns Sylvia
appeared, and for an Instant she caught
a glimpse of their faces—Muellcr'n
frotfnlng, pallid and stern. Nurse .Ma
son’s angry and defiant.
"I—I thought this was Ruth'* room.**
Sylvia said, In faltering tones. *T want
ed to see her Just for a moment be*
fore dinner."
She felt so put.out by this most un
looked-for occurrence that she did not
wait for a reply to her words. She
left the room at once and was hastening
aimlessly down the narrow hallway,
when Nurse Mason overtook her.
’Walt, please. Mrs. Mueller. I will
show you Ruth Pritchard's room. Dr.

Suspicion.
Sylvia's heart fell. The sense of
words nnd presence. She had decided
to make nn urgent request of her hue-

and she was now turning over In her
mind the very words she should employ
when the moment had come.

Mueller Betrayed,
With the old of Wlnny Price, Sylvia
had Just finished a rapid toilet when
her husband entered Her dressing room
He was dressed for dinner and he
looked pale and tired.
T feel far more inclined to take a
sleep than to go down to dinner," he
said, with a glance, at Wlnny. which
that quick-witted mnld accepted ut
r.nce as a dismissal, and she proceeded
to net on it without delay.
"It Is a tiresome Journey from New
York to The Hollow. Do you feci verv
tired, dearest?" » y
"Not as tired now os half an huur
ago. I think my visit to Ruth Pritch
ard s room has roused mo up."
All this time Mueller was keenly
watching htB wife's face aft If In the en-

unspoken question that hovered on Ills

distrust and dislike with which this
woman had impressed her from the
very outset had now developed Into
positive aversion and suspicion.
Nurse Mason's cunning, deep-set
gray eyes were mirrowly searching
Savin's face In the light of the hanging
lamp which Illuminated the cotridori
her coarse lips were grimly compressed
and the expression of the square mas
culine, swutlhy face was sullen, de
termined, and even challenging.
"You dislike me, but you shall have
to put up with me!" that expression
seemed to convey.
This Is the room,” Nurse Mason
said, opening a door at thq lower end of
the passage, with a sweep of her great
tirnt and an elaborate courtesy. "You
will find the girl's stale pretty much
as when you Inst saw her at Moor-
combe."
In the subdued light of a shaded
lamn, placed on a table at the far side
of the room, Sylvia gazed upon the
motionless occupant of the bed and os
she looked the tears gathered In her
eyes.
Ruth Pritchard lay there with closed
eyes and pallid fentures, her lips
slightly apart, her thin hands folded
peacefully on her breast. So exactly
did her appearance coincide with that
of n corpse "laid out” for burial, that
Sylvia could hardly persuade herself,
as she continued to gate, that Ruth
was Indeed still alive.
"How like death!” Sylvia gasped with
shudder. "Oh. Nurse ^Inson, are you
certain that she Is not really dead?"
Without Immediately replying
ords. Nurse Mason look from the
mantelshelf a small .hand mirror, which
she held directly In front of Ruth's
parted lip*.
A moment or two later she handed
i he mirror to Sylvia. The polished sur
face was clouded,with the moisture of
the Invalid’s faint breathing.
"Proof positive. Mrs. Mueller, that
she Is not dead, even If there were nn
other proofs available. It 1s really
nothing worse than n somewhat unus
ually developed case of suspended ani
mation. She may recover her faculties
any moment, cr the trance may be
indefinitely prolonged.
"Since she resisted the very severe
tests used nt the time of the Inquest
last year at Mooremnbc, she will prob
ably continue In this state for a con
siderable time longer. The shock that
brought on this In the .first Instance
must have been terrific indeed."
Sorrow,
Sylvia made no reply. A lump aesm-
td to rise In her throat, so that speech
became Impossible to her. She contln-
uad to gaze upon the dvuthlike (ace of
her old friend and companion. She
was hardly conscious now of the sound
‘ light, rapid footsteps that approach-
the door of the rnont.
"Miss Mason. Is Mrs. Mueller Inside
please?" Wlnny Price's voice salt from
the hall. "Because. If so. Mra. Thure-
ton sent me to tell her that dinner will
1 served In a quarter of an hour"
Sylvia started and hurriedly left the
room.
, •Oh. Wlnny. Is this you? I am sorry
for delaying so long. Let us hasten
'Did you think It odd that Nurse Ma
son and I should look go put qut when
you surprised us In that roorrf?"
But his glance and manner betrayed
him, nnd Sylvia know as well what waj
passing In his mind os If he had pro
claimed It ut the top of his voice.
"I am very sorry you went to see
Ruth before dinner, Sylvlu." Mueller
said,’lifter a short pause. "Of course
I know you were anxious about her, and
for this reason, Indeed, I made It mv
business to sec Nurse Mason so as to
hear all the latest particulars as to
Ruth In order to tell you. I was con
sulting with her, too, on some matters
respecting her continued stay hrre. But
1 regret theft-you—”
He paused abruptly, for nt this mo-
ment til* dlnnor gong boomed through
the house.
“Well, It can not be helped now. I
suppose,” he said, shaking his head at
Sylvia. "And If you've destroyed yuur
oppetlte by persisting In seeing Ruih
It Is all your fault, and you can blame
no one but yourself. Come, dearest,
your father and mother will hr out of
patience,’’ And he offered his arm to
Sylvia arid fook her down to the draw
ing room, where the Judge and Mr*.
Thurston wer awaiting them.
A Silent Meal,
During the dinner Sylvia spoke but
little, and although Mueller made up for
his wife's silence by altnost an Inces
sant flow of(talk, he was plainly III r.t
case nnd distracted. The genial Judge,
who since his sen's death seemed to
have lost all Ills high spirits, made an
effort to rouso himself tonight, but tho
attempt was. on the fade of It, so forced
nn undertaking that poor Mrs. Thurs
ton frit the tear* come to her eyes ont o
or twice.
Shortly after D o’clock Sylvia's pa
rents took Utelr, leave and drove back
utmost in slftnce to Moorcombc. They
both felt, although they did not say c".
that Hie evening had been a disap
pointing cne.
Whnt had been wrong? Had Sylvia
nnd Curl had,* qtmrrel of any kind be
fore dinner? They were puzsled. and
Airs. Thurston decided to go over nguln
to Thfe Hollow early on the following
day and to have an exhaustive Inter
view with her daughter.
Left to thumsclvcs. Sylvia and her
husband In the monnrime felt con
strained and even embarrassed as they
sat together, while the wild winds of
autumn careered boisterously around
the house. "But Sylvia was no coward
when oned she determined op any spe
cial course of action, and rising sud
denly from her armchair, she crossed
over to where Muelltr sat, and knelt
beside his chair on the hearthrug, one
arm resting upon his knees.
"Carl, I have something to ny to
you. You may hare noticed my silence
all the evening. Well, I've been think
ing over this matter. It Is about Nurse
Mason. There really Is no necessity
to ksep her any longer. Poor Ruth
requires no professional nurse; 1 un
derstand her case thoroughly. Now
thut Ruth Is again under the same roof
with me I think we had {tetter relieve
••urge Mason of further, duty and let
hdr go.”
An odd change passed across Muel
ler's face ns his wife thus spoke. Hla
brows almost met with n sudden, ner
vous contraction and that greenish light
which Sylvia had often noticed before
dashed In hla fttrange eyes.
"Pardon me. dearest, but thet Is al
together out of the quesilonj" he said,
with a tone of sternness In hk low dis
tinct voice. "You can not understand
Ruth’s case when you say.thift rhe re
quires no professional nurse. Illes Ale-
son’s presence here Is a necessity until
Ruth's State shall have token(a more
favorable turn at least." —,
“But I have a personal dlsllko and
distrust of Miss Meson. Carl! From
the moment I first met her I was con
scious of this feeling. I shall be-very
unhappy If v OU Interfere with my
wishes In thl* matter." •
There- was n break In Sylvia'* voire,
and for the first time since their,ac
quaintance had begun. Aiuriler’s Htokv
nnd manner Impressed her with a virus
scitae of insecurity and even of trw.
•'This Is perfectly ridiculous nt you.
