manner in which he fooled Brer Wolf
by hiding in a milk churn and rolling
down hill. Also he will tell how he.
himself, got stuck badly trying to slap
over a tar baby. And if urged he might
he led to tell how his tai! happened to
be so short.
And the wistaria vine will sway gent
ly in the winds and seem to smile just
as it did in the days when Uncle Remus
himself trained it with loving hands.

place. The children of West End will
dance and sing and a coronation cere
mony will take place.

KICKERS’
COLUMN
If you are unhappy,
have a grouch or a
grievance, here’s the
place to tell about it.
Editor The Geo - giant
What I should like explained is. are
there any merits to the P. A. Y. E. cars
Their inconvenience is sure marked,
and principally the cats of the present
construction are an imposition upon
the white public. During rush hours
the whites naturally occupy more than
their quota of seats, and as a conse
quence the rear of the coach is pack
ed with standing negroes. This com
pels our women folks to elbow their
way to the front of the coach, which is
next to a physical impossibility for
even a man, unless of the physique of
Jim Jeffries. It appears to me, before
the transit company adopt northern
ideas as to coaches, they should study
local conditions. Their engineers could
have secured plans of the coaches used
in some of our cities whereby the pas
sengers enter from the middle or two
thirds back. This divides the coach
into two separate and distinct com
partments. The negroes should occupy
the rear compartment and the whites
the front. Furthermore, this type of
coach was designed principally for Its
rapidity in loading and unloading pas
sengers.
For my part, I fail to see where the
tiansit company is gaining time at
stops with the present P. A. Y. E. cars.
The only reason their schedule time is
shortened is due entirely to the fact
that the trucks are equipped with
heavy motors, and the elapse of time
from dead stop to full speed is short
ened over the light trucks.
Yours very truly,
FRED’ MALTHANER.

STATE WILL TEST
HAIL RATE RIGHTS
The right of the state railroad com
mission to originate rates over the
Western and Atlantic railroad under
the terms of the lease contract, now in
existence between the state and the
Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis
railroad, will be tested in the third di
vision of the superior court tomorrow.
Judge Pendleton today granted a spe
cial order for the hearing of the in
junction suit brovcht by the state to
enforce the terms of the contract to
apply Georgia freight classifications to
Chattanooga shipments.
The suit, filed si: months ago under
instructions from former Governor
Hoke Smith, alleges a breach of con
tract on the part of the Nashville.
Chattanooga and St. Louis for failure
to submit. Georgia freight rates on in
terstate shipments over the line of the
Western and Atlantic.
The state's action came after pro
tests from the Atlanta Freight bureau.
The local organization first appeared
before the state railroad commission.
The commission sent the matter to
Governor Brown, asserting that if the
petition was to be effective action must
be taken by the state under the lease
contract, as the commission was pow
erless to maintain rates on interstate
shipments.
Governor Brown returned the matter
to the commission for further infor
mation. Governor Smith was in of
fice when it came back. It went to the
commission a second time, and after an
exhaustive hearing, went again to Gov
ernor Smith, who finally ordered a suit.
The state will be represented by At
torney General Felder and Judge J. K.
Hines, special attorney for the railroad
commission. Tye. Peeples & Jordan,
district attorneys, and Judge Claude
Waller, of Nashville, general counsel
for the Nashville. Chattanooga and St.
Louis, will represent the Western &
Atlantic.

AT THE THEATER |
BIG CROWDS CONTINUE
VISITING THE FORSYTH
Willa Holt Wakefield and the other at
tractions that make up the splendid bill
of vaudeville at the Forsyth this week,
will win one of the attendance records of
the season at, the busy theater. The
house has been crowded to capacity at all
performances and there Is a steady de
mand for seats for succeeding perform
ances that can not possibly hold against
the supply.
Miss Wakefield has had a regular home
coming reception. All of her old friends
and their friends have come to the For
syth In great numbers and have applaud
ed the delightful entertainer. And Miss
Wakefield has never been more entertain
ing.
The offer about the most
original novelty that the Forsyth has ever
had, and Carl McCullough, the clever
young singing comedian, has become
popular There are others on the bill that
makes the program most pleasing.
It appears now that the engagement of
Mabel Taliaferro for headline next week
will be one of the most popular accom
plishments yet credited to the Forsyth.
There has been the heaviest advance sale
ever recorded at the theater and more
theater parties have been arranged for
than has been known before In addition
to the appearance of the dainty creator of
‘Polly of the Circus,” Shep Camp, the
Atlanta boy, who was so successful as
star of “‘The Traveling Salesman,” is on
the same bill.

nence. Mr. Hobson's views on the navy
are well known. Governor Hanly's antag
onism to anything that relates to war Is
not so well known in the South, but
throughout the North and West, where
he has made his reputation as an ora
tor, practically every one is familiar with
his views.
Hon. John M. Slaton will preside and
special music will be furnished by the
Orphean male quartet of Chicago and the

and the debate will start promptly at

LOCKEH CLUB fiCT
UPHELDBYCOURT
Superior Judge Pendleton declared
today that Atlanta's new locker club
ordinance, passed to meet the require
ments of a recent decision of the state
supreme court, was valid.
The jurist's decision came when he
dissolved the temporary injunction
granted the Georgia Athletic club, a.
Forsyth street organization. The club
had operated two months under the
injunction which had been obtained
after the city council had refused to
grant the club a permit.
Certain phases of the court's ruling
eventually may affect every locker
club in Atlanta. The court maintained
that there was not an organization of
similar nature, selling drinks through
the check system, that was not at
least in technical violation of the pro
hibition law.
Judge Pendle.ton’s decision was based
strictly on the fact that the club had.
been refused a permit under the new
ordinance and the city could not be re
strained from enforcing the ordinance.
Attorneys for the club immediately
gave notice of an appeal.
Argument brought out the point that
the practice in vogue in Atlanta locker
clubs of allowing non-residents to pur
chase drinks on cards extended by
members might be In violation of the
law. The point was that members are
assumed to have lockers and drinks
purchased by them from their own
lockers. With guests the revenue from
the sale of liquor goes to the club treas
ury.
