l»JW l?H»PW^qppWWlPPr 4 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: FRIDAY, JUNE 16,1911. TWO ROADS’ RETURNS West Point’s and Southern’s Figures Sent Back by Comptroller General. Too Many “Trusties” Prove Unworthy of Name and Skip Out. Warden* of the various prison camps In Georgia have received reprimand from the Georgia prison commission thru a circular letter which la being mailed each of Jthem. The commission, In Its circular, takes a rap at the method of appointing trusties from among the convicts and declares that It will deem It sufficient cause for removal from office where escapes oc cur from evident neglect The statement In full follows: "To the Warden In Charge: We have Just seen the statistical statement of our secretary, which shows that for the twelve months, ending May II, the various camps of the state had 111 es capes. It also shows that 114 were re captured. Mowcvai, some fifteen of the latter were convicts who escaped under the old contract system, showing that there ore 110 convicts still at large who escaped from the camps during the past year, an average of ten net escapes per month. The above does not Include misdemeanors. We are thoroughly eon. vtneed that a very large number of these escapes Is traceable directly negligence er carelessness on the pai of the warden and guards and the commission Is determined to hereafter hold every warden to a strict account ability for the safe keeping of tho con vict* In his charge. The Indiscriminate trusty' business Is contrary to the rules of this commission, and ’leaving convicts at camp without guard' la al together wrong and la considered noth. Ing less than gross negligence. "We take this method of notifying each and every warden In the state, and they In turn must so notify their deputy wardens that convicts lnMhclr charge must be more aafSIy guarded nnd held, and where we consider es capes from ths camp are ton numerous or caused by evident, neglect, we will • deem It sufficient cause for the re moval of the warden, ’ We sincerely trust that each Warden will fully real ise and appreciate the responsibility that Is resting upon him and assist the commission In seeing thst Ihs convicts are more safely held. "We trust that you will glvs this your Immediate and constant attention. "Respectfully, "THE PRISON COMMISSION OF GEORGIA." )ED MILLIONAIRE LEAVES THE HOSPITAL . > • Chorus Girls Expect To Be Prosecuted, But Defy Stokes. .. - uns 1*.—W.

Physi cians at the Roosevelt hospital permitted Because the returns from the Atlanta and West Point railroad showed no In crease In the road's valuation over last year, altho It had added several bun dred thousand dollars In property to Its physical value, William ’A. Wright, comptroller genera!/ has returned the atatement bearing Ita tax returns to the officials of the road, notifying them that he could not accept It .as sent to him. Besides this, he has returned the stute- •ment of the valuation of th# property of the Southern railway to Its officials, because he did not believe It tyipresent ed the Increased valuation of the prop erty. The Southern's figures showed an Increase over last year of 1170,0015. while the figures of ths Atlanta- and West Point were practically the same as before. "All railroad property should reflect an Increase each year In comparison with the Incresse of other property," said Mr. Wright. "While the Atlanta and West Point road admitted that It had added additional physical property since last year. Its total rtturns were about the same as th* old figures. This Is sccounted fob by the fset thst It re turned the' value of ■ Its franchise st 6240,000 less than It did last year. "We have had no definite settlement with any of the large railroads yet. The returns they have made have been un- Sktlsfactofy, In some Instances, and 1 could not accept them. Other roads have submitted no figures at all to ms yet."

It is a Big, Powerful, Beautiful Machine, Combining all that is Best and the Price is a little More than Half—$175. Magneto included—of course. # ‘iH THIS IS THE MOTORCYCLE you have heard so much about. We hope this announcement will quell the anxiety of other makers—now that they know the worst they may rest easier I circles. IT WAS AMUSING to listen to the many stories that were told. Some of them were weird—and all were far from the truth. They origin ated doubtless from the fact that it was known we were experiment ing on something very different from present'types—experiments that may or may not come to something in the future. HERE ARE THE FACTS: The Flanders “4" is not an experiment in any sense—nor is there a single radical feature about it. If is a standard, four-horse power, belt-driven motorcycle—a, trine larger, longer, yet lighter, and more powerful and much better built than other “4V\ . . . . - • • , ' THE PRICE IS SENSATIONAL that’s all—price and quality. YOU WILL RECALL that Flanders' success in the automobile industry was made, not by inventing a new kind of motor car, but by taking the best $2,500 car that could be found, manufacturing them in thous ands instead of hundreds and selling them for just half the former price. Of course the profit was small on each car—but on thousands ft figured up pretty fast. And the low price made it possible to sell all and more than the big factories could make. THE REST IS HISTORY—no other car in the whole world enjoys so splendid a reputation. Over 30,000 delighted owners will tell you it has no equal. t NOW GET THIS—it’s important! We are following the same plan. We have nothing new—just a standard “four'* motorcycle made as much better than others as we know how. The genius of this organization is designing and manufacturing ability—our strong point is making things in immense quantities. We have the capital, the. factories and the experience. THEN WE SELL IT FOR LESS—much less. Why? Simply because if we are to manufacture say 60,000 motorcycles per year we must place the price within the reach of that many people—working men, clerks, as well as business men. Every ten dollars added to the price cuts down the demand—less people can afford the price. , BESIDES IT COSTS HEAVILY to sell an article for more than it is worth. The customer knows about how much he should pay and get one hundred cents’ worth for every dollar. MOTORCYCLES ARE TOO HIGH PRICED—the-value isn’t there. The Flanders ”4” will correct that.* WHEN FLANDERS ENTERED the automobile business prices were fifty per cent higher than they are now—the reason other makers have been so worried of late was because they knew the advent of Flanders in the motorcycle business meant a revolution of both price and quality in this as it did in the automobile business. THE PRICE IS $175.00—magneto included—of course. Flanderi was the first to say no automobile was complete without a magneto—we say it again now—no motorcycle is complete without a first-class magneto —and we use the Splitdorf—admitted best. Others charge $25 to $40 extra for a magneto—and a foreign one at that. AS FOR THE REST—we need not waste space here on technical specifi cations. They are all in the catalog and you can have one for the asking. Suffice it to say this is a full size machine—55J4 inch wheel base; 28 inch wheels shod with 2% inch tires. Heavily tired for the weight for Flanders ”4” is 25 pounds lighter than the next lightest motorcycle of the same size. WHY? BECAUSE instead of heavy, uncertain steel castings we use drop forgings and stampings scientifically heat treated. In other words, we use the same kind of materials that are used in first-class automobiles and so we are able to make a lighter yet stronger machine. Of course, we- need not tell you the advantages of lightness in a motorcycle—you know them yourself. NOW IF THIS WERE A NEW and unknown concern' you might hive reason to doubt the quality of this motorcycle—agents for other machines selling for $225 to $350 will, of course, try to tell you a first-class 4 horsepower, belt-driven free engine motorcycle can't be made and sold at a profit for $175.00—including a Splitdorf magneto. BUT YOU KNOW THE NAME FLANDERS. You know it stands head and shoulders above all others in the automobile industry—and above all you know—all the world knows—that name stands for quality and fair dealing. SO WE NEEDN’T answer that statement which, of course, other makers will make—because they must. It is the only thing left for them to say. YES, WE WILL answer it—by saying that the Flanders guarantee goes with every motorcycle—and all the world knows what that means, too. JUST A WORD about deliveries. Already the fame of this machine has spread over the country and we have a large number of orders on hand. You may have to wait a little, but it will be worth it as you will get a better motorcycle for much less. PERHAPS THERE ISN’T a dealer in your immediate territory yet—we are signing them up as fast as we can, but it takes time, especially as we are very careful to select the best—men who will properly repre sent the. Flanders policy. IF THERE ISN’T a dealer in your vicinity you can send your order to the factory direct—it won’t get any better service, but we promise you a delivery in your proper order—no partiality. DEALERS:. Perhaps we haven't signed up In your territory yet—only way to find out Is to write our Sales Manager at the factory. You will have to measure up to the standard to secure this agency. So If you want It, hurry—and when writing tell him all about yourself and why you think you are entitled to thla plum. Ten of these machines will be told for every one you are now selling- greater value for the money. Flanders Manufacturing Company, Pontiac, Michigan See slide for life—Rink.
