Despite the reported quiet In the

IHE FINEST DIM IN ATLANTA
If you want to see a great work, being splendidly done,
go some night about 8 o’clock to 12 1-2 West Alabama-st.
There you will see 40-odd girls struggling to secure an
education.
Some are 12 or 13 years old; some are grown women.
All of them are toilers for-their daily bread, and it is after
they have finished their work in a laundry, a candy factory,
.a department store or a printing shop that they make their
way to the night school, to stop a few minutes for supper
and then take up the fight for education.
The girls’ night school, as you can see, is doing a noble
work. It is teaching women to read and write. It is render
ing them more fit to become mothers, and to rear families
otherwise than in the darkness of ignorance.
Now, this has been going on for about two months.
The four teachers—they are skilled, educated young women
—have done their work for nothing. It has been extra to
their daily duties, and naturally they can not keep it up with
out compensation.
The Woman’s Exchange, under whose auspices the
school is being conducted, must raise about $1,000 to sup
port the school for the next seven months.
The sum of $3.75 a month will pay the expenses of
teaching one girl for a month—teaching her and furnishing
her supper each evening.
Rabbi David Marx, Dr. W. L. Lingle, Dr. H. A. Atkin
son, Dr. C. W. Daniel and Mr. Henry R. Durand, knowing
what a great work is being done, are going to solicit sub
scriptions for the -maintenance of the girls’ night school, in
co-operation with the publicity given the institution by The
Georgian.
If you can afford an annual subscription of $5.00 or
$10.00, you will have the satisfaction of contributing to the
finest work of charity being done in Atlanta.
Communicate with one of the committee; named above,
or with The Georgian.

James J. Hill Says Last Elec

Washington, Nov. 25.—"Demagogues

demned by James J. Rill, the “sage of
the Northwest,” who railed at the whits
house today. The last election,' he said,
taught the politicians of the country
that men are thinking and voting
along Independent lines. He refused
to admit that he had a former presi
dent of the United States In mind when
be referred to “demagogue."
"Demagogues and agitators,” he de-,
dared, "have held away an long It In
really a relief to see the flog of warn

TODI
TRUST IS PLANNED
IN FEDERAL COURT
Suit Will Be Filed in Southern
District of New York
in Few Days.
Washington, Nov. 25.—Charging that
the American Sugar Refining Company,
known as the sugur trust, lias made
many contracts tn restraint of trade;
that It has conspired to restrain trade,
and has established a monopoly such
as is prohibited by the Sherman t
trust law, suit for dissolution of the
trust Is to he flled within tha next few
<laya In tho southern district of New
York.
^ The bill of complaint In thla sensa-
tlonul suit has Just been printed at
tho government printing ofllce, and has
been taken back to New York by Dis
trict Attorney. Henry S. Wise, of that
city, and his assistant, James R.
Knapp. Ths complaint probably will
be filed toduy. It consists of 200 pages.
There ore between SO and 40 respond
ents other than the American Sugar
Rcilnlng Company, all of which are
subsidiaries. None of the cane sugar
plants are named.
The prosecution will be conducted
under the direction of the attorney gen.
era), but will be flled In the name of
the dietrict attorney of tho southern
district of New York. The suit Is
solely for dissolution of the trust and
not for the appointment of a receiver
to wind up Its affairs. If the suit Is
successful, however. It will then be for
the court to determine whether or not
a receiver should be appointed.
In Its general nature, the suit against
the sugar trust Is similar to the prose
cutions already begun against tho oil,
tobacco, powder, and bath tub trust
cases. There has been a disposition to
withhold the filing of this latest suit
until the supreme court hands down
Its derision In the tobacco trust and
Standard Oil canes. Inasmuch aa those
cases are expected. to define more
closely the scope of the Sherman law,
hut since It has been derided to re
argue those cases, the department de
rided not to dolay the sugar trust
prosecution any longer.
Here la an Intercating question that
affects the state:
Suppose tho governor should die or
become In any way disqualified be
tween thla and the meeting of the next
general assembly, which takes place on
tho fourth Wednesday of June next
year, who would bo governor, and Is
there any provision of law by which
any one would become governor?
Section 6911 of the code declares:
"In case of the death, resignation or
disability of the governor, the president
of the senate shall exercise the duties
of governor until such disabilities are
removed or until' such successor Is
elected ,and quallfled.”
This Is very plain, hut Is there now
any president of tho senate?
Section 6749 of the code, which Is a
provision of the constitution of the
state, provides* that—
“The members of the general assem
bly shall bo elected for two years and
shall serve until their successors are
elected."
It Is noticeable that this section lim
its the time of tho service of the mem
bers of tho general assembly to two
years, and It limits their service until
their successors ore elected. It does
not say until their successors are elect
ed and quallfled. It simply says elect
ed.
It therefore would seem thabthe gen
eral assembly which met last summer
and which had a president of the sen
ate, wont entirely out of existence whon
the new legislature whs elected last
October, and that the terms of ofllco of
tho president of the senate and the
speaker of the house ended with tho
election of tho now legislature.
The new legislature not having met
and organized, It seems that there Is
now no president of the state senate
anti no one quallfled to succeed to the
governor’s ofllco If anything “ -
should
trouble seems to exist un
der the law.
Section 6816 of the code nllows the
governor to call an extra session of
the legislature. Nobody else but the
governor'can call this extra session.
The way this condition seems all tJ
have come about Is this:
The provisions of the state constltu
tlon mentioned are found In the con
stitution of 1877. At that tlmo It teas
provided that the legislature should
meet in October Immediately after tho
election of governor and the election of
the new members of the legislature.
Only two weeks elapsed after the elec
tion until tho legislature met and tho
new president of the sonate was elect
ed and the now governor Inaugurated.
By tho acts of 1902 the time for tho
meeting of tho general assembly was
changed from the fourth Wednesday
tn October to the fourth Wednesday in
June.
The Interesting question Is. did not
that change In the time for tho meet
ing of the legislature leave tho state
with no provision by which nny ono
could All the qhalr of governor If tho
governor should resign or In any way
beepme disqualified, and did It not
leave the state In n position where tho
legislature could not he called together
and where no provision of any sort
could be had to give the state a gov
ernor from the first Wednesday In Oc
tober to tho fourth Wednesday In Juno
following If anything happened to tho
governor?

Altho the major Is just recovering

In the little workshop fif Herman
Thaden, at the rear of 468 West Hunt-
er-Ht„ an airship, built along new and
original lines. Is slowly taking shape.
For throe years Mr. Thaden, who la
president of the American Box Fits
Company, 38 West Alabama-st, haa,
labored with all the tlmo he could spare*
from business on a heavlor-than-atr
machine, which he hopes will be an
advanced step In matters aeronautlo.
On Wednesday morning ho received
a patent from Waahlngton which make*
all Ills ten claims protected except one.
Tho machine Is to bo smaller than tha
modern biplanes and monoplanes which
are startling the world with their
stunts. Mr. Thaden Insists that If his
machlno Is a success It will be for prac
tical use.
Tho airship Is by no means com
pleted and can bo said still 'to bo In
the experimental state. In the story of
Its laborious construction Is romance.
Every bolt and screw, every carefully
tested plane, tho Intricate models which
went to tho patent ofllc.—all have been
built by Mr. Thadoil's own hands.
Slowly, stop by step, with the true
dissatisfaction with his own work of
tho true Inventor, he has shut himself
up In his shop far Into the night and
labored on his hope for the mastery of
tho air.
*T couldn’t let you go out nnd lake
a picture of tho machine now," said
Mr. Thaden Wednesday morning: “It
Is In no shape to be photographed. Be.
sides. I am not sure It will fly, nnd I
don’t propose to make anything public'
until 1 have convinced myself that It It
a success. Most of us fall, you know.”
He Is os reticent ns were tho two
Wrights when they were working out
their flrst experiments. He would not
describe tho machine In any dotall, ex-
copt that It waa smaller than the
modern type nnd heavier than air,
"I am not building a machine for
spectacular flights,” he said, "or Just
something for people to stare or. I
hope to perfect mine so that It will lie
serviceable; in fact, to go a step bu-
yond tho present development."
THOMAS E. WATSON ILL:

That Thomas E. Watson, of Thom,

T. H. BRANNEN BOOSTS
OPEN HOUSE EVENING
“In signing The Georgian's list of merchants who will keep open their
places of business until 10 o'clock the night of the opening of Atlanta's
Great White Way, I was actuated by two molivea,” said T. H. Brannen.
proprietor of the three Brannen drug store*.
“First, I felt that the people of Atlanta would be glad of an oppor
tunity to visit the various stores along Mitchell, Whitehall and Peach-
tree-at*. at night while the holiday spirit prevails and all the stores are
well stocked with fresh holiday goods,- as well as being decorated for the
occasion.
"Second, as the Atlanta Ad Men’s club will have charge of the pa
rade and ezercise* of the White Way opening, I thought It a fitting com
pliment to this organization, which Is always boosting Atlanta and work
ing for Its best Interests, that we merchants light up and decorate our
stores, keep open house, many stores hating music that night, and help
make Atlanta's Great White Way what It really Is—the beat advertise
ment of the best city In the best state In the best section of the United
States. I thank The.Georgian for Its Interest In the ‘open house evening'
