HOME(4TH) edition
IN ATLANTA.
In a report relative to the
general qualifications of the
students of Class 3 of the At
lanta Girls’ Night school, sub
mitted November 15, a teacher
in the institution has the follow
ing to say regarding one of the
pupils of the class:
“Arithmetic: Unusually rapid
thinker in numbers. Excels
class in quickness of computa
tion. Not always accurate, but
can be trained to be so. Writ
ing: Fairly good and extremely
legible. Spelling: Fair, seldom
perfect, but rarely misses more
than one word. Language: Un
decided, so far results only fair.
General conduct: Quiet, stu
dious pupil. Neat and method
ical in her work, and of cheer
ful disposition.”
Now, this quiet, studious girl
with the exceptionally alert
brain is trying to get an educa
tion. She works in the day time
and attends school at night.
From her work she goes direct
to the school, where she is pro
vided with a hot supper and
where she is under the care and
direction of competent instruct
ors. When she is thru her work
at the school she is chaperoned
to her car by one of the teach-
crs.
This girl and the 45 others in
the school are in earnest in
their quest after wisdom. Try
working hard all day and
studying three hours at night if
you doubt it.
The Atlanta Girls’ Night
school is furnishing the oppor
tunity they need to secure the
education they seek. But—
The Atlanta Girls’ Night
school can not exist much
longer unless the public comes
to its aid with the funds it
stands in need of. If it is al
lowed to go under for lack of
money, what of the 46 girls at
tending it now? And what of
the other girls who surely will
attend it if it continues the good
work it now has in hand?
I Three dollars and a half will
pay the expenses of one girl for
one month at the school. Thirty
dollars will pay the expenses of
an entire term. This includes
supper, books, instruction and
the numerous little incidentals.
Don’t you think this a nice
opening to make a Christmas
gift? If you do, you needn’t
wait till Christmas to make it.

Should the state of Georgia deem It
wlee, an Injunction could be obtained
against the Tenneseee Copper Com
pany, located In Tennessee just across
the lino, to abate the nuleance which
Is alleged to come from the fumee. For
eight yeare this question hue com
manded much attention and again
creates public Interest thru the an
nouncement from Washington Tuesday
that the United States supreme court
had upheld the decision of the lower
court thus refusing to tn.dlvidusls an
njunctlon against this company.
Many are familiar with the circum
stances surrounding the case; how the
state of Georgia, thru Attorney Gen
eral John C. Hart, carried tho matter
before the United States supreme
court, which resulted In the copper
company erecting a 21.000,000 plant for
consuming ths fumes, and by chemical
processes turned them into sulphuric
acid. This was declared by Gifford
Plnchot, the father of conservation, to
be one of tho greatest pieces of con
servation of this age.
8tets Takes Action.
Up until 1904 the Tennessee Copper
Company burned Its ore In open roast
heaps. From this the fumes swept thru
the forests and over the farms of the
neighboring territory and caused much
vegetation to be killed and resulted In
great Injury to the timber. The In
habitants of this section appealed to
the state of Georgia for aid, for It was
mostly In Georgia that the damage was
being done, and the state began action.
Anally Inking It to the United Statea
supreme court. The court ordered that
the state, being a sovereign authority,
could bring suit against the company,
and announced that It would Issue an
Injunction at the state’s request With
this much ground gained, the state took
the matter In Its own hands and prac
tically ordered the company to control
Its fumes or be subjected to an Injunc
tion. Taking a friendly warning from
this, the company began at once the
erection of the large consuming plant.
This relieved the situation to some ex
tent. but the fumee still did great dam
age.
The erection of a smoke stock 275
feet high was commenced. It being be
lieved that with the fumee carried high
Into the air. the currents would carry
them away, but it never turned out
that way, the complulnante allege. It
Is claimed that the high stack only
carries the fumes from the Immediate
vicinity and that territory farther away
than that first damaged. Is being In
jured. It was upon this ground that
the recent cult decided In favor of tho
copper company, was Instituted by J.
Harvey Ladew and other capitalists of
New York and West Virginia.

Citizens’ Protest Against Negro
Resorts Brings Promise of
Action—Fate of Saloons
in the Balance.
An Individual
The United States supreme court an
nounced that nt the request of the
state of Georgia It would Issue an In
junction against the company. This
the state has never asked for. after re
ceiving the assurance from the enm-
iany that It would control the fumee.
Unless the near-beer esloone in
Edgewood-ave. are closed by the oity a
fight will be waged by citizens to olocs
all ncar-becr saloons in Atlanta, ntak
ing It an iscus in ths next campaign.
—R. J. GUINN.
The police committee of council will
meet Tuesday afternoon and recom
mend to council that the near-beer aone
be contracted to the extent of ellmlnat.
Ing the objectionable saloons In Edge
wood-ave., the amendment to the zone
ordinance to take effect on July 1, next.
U will be theaaquel to the vigorous
protests of the leading dtlsens of In
man Park against the negro near-beer
saloons and pool rooms In Edgewood-
ave. It Is said that the members of
ths committee have Informally agreed
to eliminate the Butter-sL section of
Edgewood-ave. from the beer sone;
that they will recommend to the 1911
council that no licenses for negro sa
loons in Edgewood-ave. be granted, and
that the committee will Instruct the
chief of police to place a regular pa
trolman In the negro aectlon of Edge-
wood-ava, rendering the approach to
one of Atlanta's. most deslrablo resi
dential sections properly protected.
Several months ago some of the lead
ing business men of Atlanta who live
In Inman Park began a protest against
the existing conditions of saloons, a
merry-go-round and pool, rooms In
Edgewood-ave. They were heard eev-
eral times by the police committee, and
as a result sterner restrictions were
placed around that section of the city.
At the meeting of the committee
Monday afternoon however, It wen re
alized that a crisis had been reached.
Major R. J. Guinn stated that unless
the nuisances were removed, near-beer
saloons would become an Issue In the
next municipal campaign 1 and that a
strong effort would be made to rlose all
the saloons In the olty.
The relation of the negro to the near-
beer saloon has been a great problem
with council. The beet negroes In the
negro sections don’t want them. White
people have demonstrated the fact that
they won't tolerate them. Some montlu
ago council passed an ordinance pre
venting whltu people and negroes from
being served In the same saloon. The
negro saloons wars then licensed In
negro sections. The protesti of tliu In
man Park people and aubeequent In
dications limit the existence of negro
saloons to a very email territory, and
since It is the approach to their aectlon
and not their Immediate neighborhood
that the Inman Park people have ob
jected to, the ultimate deetlny of the
negro saloon becomes very doubtful.
Theodore Roosevelt’s policy of new
nationalism will be the subject for de
bate by the six students of the Boys
High school at their annual Christ
mas exercises during the latter part
of December.

pionship of the debate and for the

supported by Charles McDaniel (lead
er), Ernost Lowenthal and Joseph
Frenkel, expect to take the laurels, as
the colonel's side usually does The
opposing side, however, composed of
H. Foreman (leader), Charles Can

they want to beat ’em “to a frazzle.”

An Invention which. It Is declared*
will completely revolutionize the brick -
making industry Is now controlled In
this and foreign countries by an At
lantan.
Colonel James W. English, well
known capitalist and brick manufac
turer, Is the Atlantan who has socured
control of this process anrl thera is
every reason to believe that from now
on Atlanta will tako a prominent part
all over the world In tho making of
brick.
Colonel English hAs Just returned to
Atlanta from Chicago, where ho and
his attorneys worn In consultation with
Mrs. Frances D. Shaw, tho woman who
Invented this process.
For, singular to state. It Is a woman
who Is to be the means of changing tho
entire method of manufacturing hrirk.
And an Idea of Urn wonderful po.-sl-
bllltlcs of this Invention may he gath
ered when tho fact Is stated that by
this process a finished product Is turned
out In—
800 minutes
Under the present system It takes
about a wsek or moro to make brick.
Most of this time Is consumed In burn
ing tho clay after It has been dried.
All this Is changed by Mrs. Shaw’s
Invention.
To Be Made Hera.
Colonel English was quirk to see ths
advantages of tho process and he and
his attorneys wont to Chicago to ne
gotiate with the inventor. As a result
of these negotiations, tbo Atlanta capi
talist secured the control and In addi
tion to being In a position to say where
this process shall be used In other
parts of this country and In foreign
countries. Colonel English will manu
facture brick In Atlanta under this
proceit at the plant of the Palmer
Brick Company.
The Shaw prooesa Include! both o
mixture and a kiln, and It takes jusL
800 minutes to dry, burn and cool bricks
and have thorn ready for shipment, and
not only that, but during tho entire
process the bricks are handled but
onco.
In the Atalnta’ plant an enameling
machine will also bo installed which
will feed and uniformly distribute the
enamel by a brush patent, and In this
way enamel bricks may also be turned
out In the same time—200 minutes.
This new Shaw Way may also be ap
plied to pottery, for tho same kiln
which is used for enamel brick will pro-
duce the most beautiful shades of dell-
cat* pottery.
An Accidental Discovery,
The discovery of this brick process
was more or less accidental. Mrs.
Shaw was watching an old German
chemist weathsr-prooflng a pair ol
garden vases with a coating of silicate
of soda, otherwise known as liquid
glass. Boms of the mixture dropped
on the ground and hardened. Seeing
this she next coated the dirt and cool
ash floor of her little daughter’s play
house. Then by a system of experi
menting she arrived at the brick proc
ess. This discovery was nrndo at Por
ter, Ind., and since that time Mr*
Shaw has had an experimental plant
at Ravenswood, a suburb ot Chicago.
The fir* which Is used In the brick
kiln Is water gas made by mixing crude
oil with water end this fuel keeps the
kiln at 2160 degrees and the lire con
be raised or lowered In five minutes.
By ths Shaw system the green bricks
are place* on a car and run thru the
drying end of the kiln until they reach
the warming heat In an upper cham
ber. There they are passed on to ths
fusing part of the kiln where they are
held at th* various temperature* re
quired. The car travels at tho rate ot
a foot a minute and carries the brick
from the tire chamber to tho cooling
room.
