In addition to his being a fine eleven- pound baby and the namesake of Hon. James L. Mayeon, candidate for con gress, a baby who came Into this world on October 4 has an unusual claim to distinction—not so much because of himself an on account of Dr. J. W. Carmichael, who played the stork. Young Mr. Calloway Is the twenly- four-hundredth baby that Dr. Car michael. who. for brevity, might be called "The Stork." haa assisted to en ter this world. They were all white babies and all Atlantans. A record of their birthdays would make a good cal endar of the twenty-five yeare of this particular etnrk's practice, only there would be about three times too many days to the year. Dr. Carmichael le also a minister and he has frequently assisted at the wed ding of a couple and later at the birth of their young hopeful. Once he car ried It aa far as the baptizing. Bad Bipod Is the cause of all humors, eruptions, boils, pimples, scrofulous sores, eczema or salt rheum, as well as of rheuma tism, catarrh and other troubles. The greatest blood remedy for all these troubles, proved by its unequaled record of cures, Is Hood’s Sarsaparilla In usual liquid form or In chocolated tablets known tsSarsatabs. 100 doses $1. DR. J. W. CARMICHAEL. He has helped 2/100 young Atlan tans to begin life. After assisting at the birth of 1,400 were boys. Th# first of the 1,400 babies babies. Dr. Carmichael Is ratHer well qualified to talk upon race suicide, the feminine peril, the alleged delicate health of womankind and kindred sub jects. That there Is no evidence of race suicide In Atlanta, Dr. Carmichael pos itively affirms. The babies are coming Just as fast as the population Is grow ing. he says. If there Is any falling off In the/number of babies It le due to a decrease In the marrlagp rate. Mora boys are born than girls, he states, but this does not give much hope to those who fear the feminine peril, as boy babies stand leas chance of surviving the hardships of babyhood than girls. This apparently refutes former beliefs concerning feminine health. In his twenty-five years of stork work Dr. Carmichael haa assisted at the birth of one set of triplets. They waa a relative of Henry Grady. Just a few years ago Dr. Carmichael per formed the wedding ceremony for this young man, In this way reversing his usual process. About eighteen years ago the stork assisted at the birth of a girl and Just a few days ago he attend- •d upon the birth of her son. Dr. Carmichael knows the very first history of so many young peopla that he can hardly turn a corner In Atlanta without seeing some one whom he un doubtadly "saw first." Young “Jim Mayson" might not hava been tha twenty-four-hundredth had the telephone company not taken out Dr. Carmichael's telephono about i year ago. Aa a result of this Dr. Car. mlchael alleges In his suit against the company that ha lost some practice for a month or more, during the absence of hla 'phone. The Jury failed to agree on a verdict last Monday.

Richmond, Va., Oct. 13.—The Angtl can chgreh In America celebrated 10' day the holy eucharlst, the most solemn rite of its ritual, in the very spot where three hundred ytara ago Oood Master Robert Hunt made the first communion In the New World, according to the rites of the English branch of the prim. Itlve church. Gathered around the ruined tower, 6,000 convention pilgrims worshiped God and paid tribute to the memory of Robert Hum and the godly men who laid the foundation of this American church. Four big boats bore the pilgrims to Jamestown Island. The convention waa the guest of the diocese of southern Virginia The Woman’s Auxiliary en tertained a party on one boat, while the general public cheerfully paid their fares ami went on tha fourth boat. The preamble, as amended and adopt, ed by the house of deputies, reads as follows: "This American church, first planted In Virginia In the year n! 1607 by rep resentatives of the ancient church of England, acknowledging the Holy Scrip tures of the Old and New Testaments to be tha Word of Ood and record of God's revelation of Hlmaslf In His Hon, and to contain all things nacessatv to ■ ilvatlon,” ete.

The midway Is the moat complete that has ever been aesn In Atlanta.

Make the members of council attend committee meetings. This Is the purport of an ordinance which will be offered at an early session of council by Councilman Walter A. Taylor. The ordinance has already besn drawn by City Attorney Mayson and |s about aa stringent as the city charter and the code win permit. Councilman Taylor with other* Is tired of abandoning hla business to at tend meetings of committees, many of them Important, and then not havo a quorum at these committees. Tho loss of time and trouble he considers un necessary and unjust. The ordinance committee, than which there la none more Important, has been having a number of Important papers before It for weeks, and haa been un able to consider any of them because of I the seeming Impossibility to got a quorum of the committee at a meeting. It has become so that at the last ses sion of council Alderman Curtis made a special request that an Important paper that he advocated should not go to the ordinance committee. For seven months. council and the water board have been wrangling over the Important question of a pump. Finally a strenuous effort to have coun cil authorise the special commlttae and the water board to advertise for new [bids was successful. Pump Matter Delayed. I Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock was the time aet for getting the committee and the board together to act on the pump matter, and although notice* were sent the members of both the board and the council and bath telephones were used, It was utterly Impassible to get the necessary quorum. Those who had come went away, and not in a very pleasant humor. Another effort to secure a quorum will be made and a meeting has been called for 4 o'clock ftext Tuesday afternoon. Councilman Taylor's resolution Is cal culated to put a stop to this negligence by several members of council who thus postpone important legislation. BlcknesS and absence from the city are the only two things tha^ will t)« ac cepted as suitable excuse* In the caso of absence from committee meetings. Th* Proposed Penalty. ■The ordinance provides that absence Ifrom three suceeralve meetings by a committee member amounts to his res ignation from that committee and upon notification that auch a member nas been absent from three meetings the mayor Is authorized to appoint his suc cessor,' If It Is an appointive place, or If lelective, council I* authorised to elect | his successor.^! Goes to Newellton, Where, It Is Reported, Big Game Exists. Practically all important papers are referred to committees and these com mittees, after Investigation, make their reports to council. It la very seldom that council falls to accept and adopt the reports of committee*. As a committee member, therefore, a ouncilman ha* more power and au thority than In council and most of the councllmen feel It a great honor to be ing te Important committee*. If Councilman Taylor's ordinance doss not hit the mark It Is probable that tven more stringent ltglalatlon will be adopted later. "I am getting .good and tired of all this negligence." stated a member of the general council. “My ordinance will fix It," replied Councilman Taylor. Hpeelsl to The Georgian.
