GEORGE’S LONG HOBO TRIP ENDS BEHIND STEEL BARS, BUT HE HAS SEEN A TLANTA After filling hi. youthful mind with a stork of lurid Ideas, gained from the constant reading of a choice lot of nickel and dime literature, such as Nick Cmter Dcadwoot! Dick. Jr., the James Bovs and the like, George Craven, a lirlch’t lad of 15 years, ran away from his horns In Champagne. III., three months ago to Invade the wild and wooly west and see some of the scenes and Ideals of his favorite stories.

During the three months away from home und father and mother. George has seen practical- tv nil of the principal points in the \Vost nnd East, and has the distinction of having "taken In" the sights without a cent of money, having traveled the cntlrr distance ns a hobo, riding the •■blind baggage." tops of passenger trains nnd freight trains. At an early hour last Tuesday morn ing the hoy rolled Into Atlanta from Jersey city and New York, having left the f irmer place Saturday afternoon at 5'30 o'clock nnd riding the whole way on top of a Southern railway passen ger coach.

He was taken before Judge Calhoun. In the city, court, Saturday, hm was released on his promise to leave the city. Saturday night he was •fou»d In one of the railroad yards, hid ing on top of a freight car. and was again taken In custody. He will now he held In care of Probation Ofllcer Gioer until his father. B. F. Craven, a painter, of Champagne, 111., can be heard from. He will then be sent home. , . As the boy tramp peered out between the bars of his cell Monday morning, his grimy, but Intelligent face assumed a rather sickly smile, and he remarked In a sarcastic tone: "Well, this is a hot finish to roy trip, all right. I guess. Here I have been all over the West and East, in nearly all ot the principal cities, and this Is the first time 1 have been arrested. 1 passed through the lines all right everywhere I went till I struck Atlanta, then I get pinched. But then I have seen Atlanta and I suppose, it Is worth the price." When asked about his trip, the-youth slated th*t he had enjoyed his varied experiences very much, roughing It about over the country, but quickly added: . "I have got enough, however. I don’: want any more of It. I am ready to go back home now.” He said he had xvorked for only his board and clothes In nearly all of the larger cities he visited, and had "beat' hie way on trains from one place to an other. He rode the "blind baggage" most of the way. he says. When asked why he ran away from home, the boy frankly replied: "Oh, I had been reading dime novels GEORGE CRAVEN.

That the liquor powers In Georgia were only temporarily demoralized by the enactmont of a prohibition law that the whisky Interests have not yet shown their full strength and that the fight for prohibition In Georgia Is yet In Its tnclplency. Is the belief of City Attorney James L. Mayson. as express ed In an address delivered at the regu lar weekly meeting of the Methodist ministers of Atlants. As a candidate for congress from the Fifth congressional district, Mr. May. son has declared himself at all times hearty sympathy with prohibition, but at the same time expresses his convlc. tlon that the fight to hold Georgia the "dry” column is only begun. The litigation has Just begun In Georgia," said Mr. Mayson. "The llq uor combinations were temporarily cowed by the legislation recently en acted, and they haven't yet shown their real strength, but they will show It. "Ths liquor men of Georgia are seek Ing the cover of the national constltu tlon to protect themselves. But the supreme court Is not with them. They can not say that they have vested rights and that they are entitled to the privilege of conducting this evil along with their other privileges American citizens. I understand t some of them are preparing to fight the law on the ground that they are al ready possessed of a charter under the seal of Georgia, and that the legisla ture ran not take away this charter. There Is no ground for disturbance on this score, among us who oppose them. The supreme court has been with us here again and has decided that no charter holds good when the state’: legislation Is against It. New Locker Clubs. There Is going to be a fight on the clubs which are springing Into exist, ence since the new law was enacted. There have been two so-called leagues' chartered In Fulton county within the past month. I eee where advertisements nre appearing for tne charter of another. In which the vice president of the Atlanta Brexvlng r puny, another liquor man, who Is tall dealer, and a friend of theirs, all three appear as Incorporators. We may expect to have a dozen or more of these In existence before the year Is ended. The liquor men will In this way try to rer.der the law Innocuous. “Clubs are recognized under the new law. but they muit be bona fide clubs with a home of their own. these clubs members may keep their own private liquor In their own lock ers, unless the Juries of Georgia hold that a club Is a nubile place. In de fault of that decision, the law'a offl cers can not get at the legitimate club. But it can always find Its prey In the Imitations. To coin a word, the tml. tatlons are prosecutable. The mush room substitutes for the barroom can' protect themselves. There will be hard fighting over this ground, but the Imi tatlons have no legal right to exist, ence.''

Fabrics With All Paris to Choos? rom-and Paris to I ans ro inspire Like the gergeous flower plants we sometimes see ih the opera, that begin to opsn their leaves with the strains of the orchestra, until, in the supremehess of their uhfolding, a beautiful fairy steps out of their petals, se these new fabrics, stepping out of thsir boxes, suddenly delight you with their ravishing beauty. Sometimes it is a hew beauty, sometimes it is an old idol reawakened ahd capable of charming its adorers forever. Chiffons—what splendor. You've seen the early morning sun glittering from a great spider’s web in which the dew has caught. Hundreds of tiny sparkling bits. Weave this web of finer mesh and tint it an ex quisite shade of pink or blue or helio, and you have one of the chiffon creations. And the chiffons with stripes—for it is noticeable among these dainty fabrics for evening wear that stripes are to the fore. Chiffon with moire silk or satin ribbon stripes. Chiffons with chenille designs that are beaten into the cloth with a wonderful shimmer and sparkle. And still the creators of fairy-like cloths were not satisfied. Chiffon must produce more wonders. This pale blue film with great roses laid here and there over the surface. And chiffons with sequins; chiffons with borders—but wait, what are these? Marquesettes—Yes, indeed, we remember them; their beauty and possibilities are not to be forgotten. Marquesettes, but never as before. With Persian stripes, with plain satin bands with borders or embroidered in contrasting and self colors. But detailed descriptions and classifications begin to lose themselves in these heaps and folds of diaphanous loveliness. Filet Nets with satin bands; by the yard and in suit patterns. And Robes—Robes’from the medium priced to the real laces. Effects that we are quite sure you’ll not find any where else in the whole South, for, like the other things, they are our own direct importations. Exclusive designs in crocheted laces, Chantilly, real rose point, Point de Paris, Renaissance, Irish poiqt and the new braid effects. And with them are some intricate designs in braided Jackets. And the trimmings and ornaments for all these— truly they must be as dainty. We had all Paris to choose them from, picking the lowest priced as carefully as the most expensive—and nothing was allowed to come along just because the price was low. No, indeed. If the effect did not appeal to us the price could not. The result is we have many ornaments and bands that are not brought over by New York importers at all. Designs shown only by the ultra in New York’s dress making world. Novelties—and importers must always add a large per cent on novelties and going direct; being our own importers, has saved you and us many a dollar on these things, you will find. Bands from the little bail fringes to all sorts o 1 ornaments for street and evening dresses and coats, in black or colors. Band trimmings in braid designs, combined with velvet, cloth and taffeta, a great many of these hand- embroidered. Sequin bands in filet nets. Filet embroidered bands in many widths. \ Chenille drops combined with braid in all colors. „ Graduated collar ornaments of heavy silk braids with deep tasseled ends. Braid and silk cord fan-shape ornaments or ro settes with many pendants. ^ CITY TAX BOOKS WILL BE CLOSED OCTOBER 10TH. PAY NOW BEFORE FI. FAS. ARE ISSUED AND COSTS CHARGED. E. T.
