PETERS-ST. MERCHANTS
Ul
Two Are Closed After Debate
in Council—No New
Licenses Issued.
No official ever responded to the re
call more readily than did general
council to a number of petitions for the
abolishment of certain saloons Monday
afternoon.
The rule of council, which say* that
eesslons shall be opened with prayer,
was Invoked by Mayor Pro Tern Can
dler and Rev. Jg-M. Brittain, who was
present to protest. against saloons on
West Mltchell-st., prayed for divine
direction Of the actions Of council.
The most vigorous protest was made
against two saloons kt the corner of Pc
tere and Waiker-sts.! In the heart of a
prosperous mercantile district. Peti
tion* were read from merchant* and
women of that section. One Is a negro
saloon run by G. 8. Carey and the other
a white saloon run by a man named
Redwlne. The only votee opposed In
abolishing the saloons were by Johnson,
Everett and Van Dyke. Councilman
Baskin also voted not to close the sa
loon. but later staled that he voted un
der a misapprehension, thinking that he
was voting to close the saloon The
Carey saloon waa voted on first, and
then all voted to closo the Redwlne sa
loon.
There were some 80 near-beer men
present and about *00 women and men
protesting against saloons. The police
committee had sent two reports to
council, the minority report being
Signed only by Aldermnn James E.
Warren. However, Councilman W. O.
Humphrey, chairman of the police com
mittee, and John E. McClelland, both
of‘Whom signed the majority report,
voted with the minority.
Chairman Humphrey said that not
only had Ihe petitioners, hut also the
chief of pollre, protested against the
saloons, stating that they were too far
from the center of town to be given ad.
equate police protection. He stated In
council that while he favored discon
tinuing such saloons, he thought the
proper action would be to cut down the
sone and treat all saloonlsts alike. He
further said that there was a saloon
farther out Mltchell-st. than any of
those protested against, and one In
Petere-et. within e block end a half of
Gordon-st.. and that the sono should
be cut down In Decatur and Marletta-
ats.
Other licensee revoked were three sa.
loons at the comer of Mitchell and El-
llott-ste., a negro saloon run by Pat
Lyons and a negro and a white saloon
run by a (nan named Turner. A large
delegation from the Frank E. Block
Company waa present, a number of
.Whom were women.
. When the vote on the Turner saloon
came up Councilman Greer said;
"( would like, sir, you honor, please
to be excused from voting on this prop,
osltlon. I want to Investigate It fur
ther."
He waa not excused and he voted not
to dote the aaloon. When the next
vote was taken he waa absent.
■ Several others voted not to close
Turner** white saloon, Spratllng. Van
n-ke, McClelland. Harrison, Guess.
Sisson and Johnston. The vote to close
the negro saloon we* unanimous.
Councilman Johnston said that per
sonally be would not care If every sa
loon In town were closed, but he did
not believe In discriminating and that
since these saloons were licensed and
he had heard no charge of disorderly
conduct, be would not vote to close
them.
"I believe In giving a dog a chance,"
he said. "These gentlemen are not
criminals. Let's give them a fair,
ihow." 1
The beer men present applauded
loudly.
"Gentlemen,” sternly said Mayor Pro
T*m Candler, "you are here by the
courtesy of council, and your act Is a
violation of alt proprieties. If you re
peat that performance, you will have
to leavt th* hall."
On the unanimous report of the po
lice committee a number of application*
for license* were refused, while the
licenses of the saloons now In opera
tion. except those already mentioned,
wsre renewed.

37 New Atlanta Phones
Installed
during the week ending June 17, 1911. There were also 40 new contracts re
ceived during the same week.
Have You Realized Our Wonderful Recent Growth ?
If you want to really appreciate how we are covering Greater Atlanta,
ask for the latest number of our “Phone Register,” our monthly supplemen
tary list to our directory. And there’s a reason for this phenomenal growth
continuing through this hot weather. It is because we furnish a

BACK TO SYSTEM OF >79
IS COUNCIL’S IDEA NOW
Backward, turn backward, oh Time In
your flight.
Thirty odd years past this town was
rqn rlght^ - 1
At .least the. general council thinks
Atlanta's form of government back In
the seventies was very largely proper
and would do to reinstate In this more
modern era. At Monday afternoon’s
session of council, resolutions for char.
ttrJ revision to reduce the legislative
branahes of the municipal government
to n mayor, five aldermen and ten
lUhMrmen, were adopted.
Clarke's Illustrated History of At
lantic published In 187*. >2 years ago,
describes the city government In the
councllmen, who act ae sepa
rata boards on all financial questions
or jipprnprlatlons of money. The mayor
Jioiar.bi* office for two years, the al
dermen for three, and tho councllmen
for.twq. Elections are held annually
for one alderman, and one councilman
from ■ ench ward, about ono-half th#
*Kd!e. body’going, out every year. All
are Ineligible tor the succeeding term;
t’ubllo education; police government
and waterworks are confined to sepa
rate hoards wlfh' plenary power*.
‘The character of the government In
connection with that of a people al
ways public-spirited, but never reck
less, has made tho financial condition
of Atlanta one of Its chief attractions,
and superior to that of any Southern
city, with. Indeed, few rivals on the
continent. January 1, 1877, the bonded
debt was 81.787,000, and the floating
debt amounted to 8388,240.70—maklni
a total Indebtedness of 82,176,240.70, 0!
which <400,000 are waterworks bond*
The asset* of the city, exclusive of rail
road stook, amount to 11,000,080.
Under the operation of the charter the
floating debt is undergoing an annual
reduction to the amount of one-fourth
of the tax on real estate, or about 860,.
000. The bonds, coupon* and finan
cial obligation* of the city have always
been met at maturity. The splendid
financial condition of Atlanta, and th*
excellence of It* municipal government,
are facte beyond question.”
It Is easy to note the similarity be
tween a mayor, three aldermen and ten
councllmen In the seventies and the
proposed mayor, five aldermen and ten
councllmen. The only difference I*
that the present general council would
provide two more aldermen than In
the days gone by. Then the aldermen
were elected for three year* without
th* privilege of re-election. Now it 1*
proposed to elect them for five years
without a Second term. Then coun
cilman were elected for ' two years
without re-election. Now It Is’pro
posed to elect for two year* with priv
ilege of one additional term.
It looks Ilk* somebody has been
delving Into the musty past to find the
key that will unlock Atlanta’s chartsr
entanglement

of Richmond, at Ral- ■ s,

Raleigh, N. C„ June 20.—The decla
ration of J. R. Chamberlain, a director
of the Ware-Kramer Tobacco Compa*
ny. that he found the people did not
want cigarettes as much aa thty did
the ooupons and pictures in the pack
ages, was tha chief feature of today'*
•esslon of th* 81,800,000 damage suit
of that company against the American
Tobacco Company.
Trade depositions were Introduced
om John P. Manning, of Boston, tell-
g of the pool of 1800 and 1804, when
special Inducements were offered by
the American Tobacco Company to

also deposition of Hugh Camp-
f Richmond, about the American
Tobacco Company buying up all Inde

could not be done unless the plaintiff
showed that the Ware-Kramer Tobac

with th* Ware-Kramer Company of
North Carolina. The latter company
went out of buslnes* In 1*08, when the
plant was moved to Norfolk. This rui

SAVE TALLULAH FALLS
IS THE SLOGAN NOW
Association Starts Work to Preserve State’s Most Wonderful
Scenery—Legal St eps May Be taken
in a Short Time.
*‘qr
"Save Tallulah falls’’ Is the slogan
of the association recently formed
krtbwn os the Tallulah Falla Preserva
tion association, and whose officers have
begun Un active and energetic cam
paign to save from destruction .the
grandest piece of natural scenery In
the South.
Dr. W. C. Bryant, of Cornelia, who I*
fhe secretary and treasurer of this as
sociation, Is giving a good deal of his
time and energy to the organisation of
the Tallulah Falls Preservation asso
ciation. This movement Is backed up
by sentiment and reason and should re
ceive the co-operation of every cltlsen
of the South.
Tallulah falls Is one of those won
ders of natural grandeur that are only
too rare. It draws tourists from the
European countries, who marvel at Its
beauty. '
The officer* of'the preservation as
soclatlon maintain that while the state
of Georgia should be committed to the
development of Its waterpower re.
sources, the real facts are conclusive
that there Is capable of development
a half-million horsepower from water,
power in thls'state even when th# water
Is at Its lowest. The United States
geological survey has shown, accord
ing to These lovers of Tallulah falls,
that the waterpower available from the
development of these falls would not
exceed on an average of seven or eight
thousand horsepower on a 24-hour run,
compared to ,n. >, •... van
obtained in the state by means of muchO
less expensive development* than- are'
planned for Tallulah falls. Much of
this power that Is capable of develop
ment lies considerably closer to the
centers of the state, and there can be
no legitimate reason, they claim, for
spoiling this grand and historic spot,
and leaving undeveloped the Immense
water powers lying elsewhere In our
borders.
Until recently It seemed a hopeless
task to undertake to stop the develop
ment of Tallulah, but reespt facte have
given the member* of .the association
much encouragement end there Is ultt -
mate hope that the work of commer
cialising this place of beauty can be
end will be stopped, and that the Tal
lulah falls shed will be converted Into
a national park as a playground for the
people, such as the West has In Tel-
lowstone Park. The power company
has been advertising that the fells will
yield 100.000 horsepower. The officers of
the Tallulah Falls association main
tain that not nearly so much power Is
available at Tallulah.
Counsel has been employedd by the
association end the association believes
that there are legal grounds for stop
ping this development, and all that l>
aaked now Is for the people of the state
to assist In the recovery of that which
rightfully belong* to them.

In speaking of th* address made by
Richmond Psarson Hobson Sunday
morning at St. Lukes church on the
modern conditions In China, In which
Mr. Hobson stated that If China were
not Christianised within 60 years a'war
of extermination between the whit* and
yellow races would be led by th* Chi
nese. and that China would scourge the
modern civilised world a* the Goths
and Vandal* destroyed the civilisation
of Rome, Dr. J. C. Calhoun Newton,
head of the Kwansel Gakuln School of
Theology, of Kobe, Japan, who Is In
this country on an extended visit, stat.
ed that he believes that In many of
his remark* Hobson was correct.
"I have spent the best twenty years
of my life In the East,” said Dr. New
ton, "and tho most of that time I have
been In Japan, yet I am familiar with
conditions In China, and know that the
people ere slowly awakening to a sense
of their tremendous power. As long aa
the celestial empire lay dormant the
rest of the world had no cause for fear,
but now Chinamen are beginning to see
the power they have In their number
less hordes and when they get to they
can make as good guns as we. and the
rest of the whit* races have made, and
when they get the spirit of reaching
out for new territory that hat been a
mania with European nations for cen
turies pest. Men will be th* time for
us to begin to fear them.
"Mr. Hobeon Is a brilliant man In
mapy respects and also has % number
of fads; among which Is a continual
talk of war between this country and
some other, but I believe that he li
right when he makes the statement that
If we don’t Chriatlanlse China right
now while the mind of the race la Juat
awakening to the great facta of civili
sation and Is In a receptive condition,
China will tarn upon us and other
white races, and If she does conquer
will have for us the contempt of sun® •
great monster for a victim In It* pow
er."
Dr. Newton Is a native of South Car- .
ollna and left this country over twenty *
years ago to do missionary work In the
East. During that time he has mode s
study of conditions there, both from a
religious end economic viewpoint and
is highly Interested In anything that
pertains to Chna end Japan. He wlu
return to take up his work In Kobs ths
latter part of July.
