DEVELOPMENT CO. NOT
PART OF THE SEABOARD
* S. Davies Warfield, . the Baltimore
capitalist, who has just purchased the
control of the Seaboard Air Line, has
been told that the erroneous impression
prevails In Atlanta that there was a
direct connection between the Southern
Settlement and Development Company,
of Baltimore, and the purchase of the
railroad.
He has wired to Atlanta saying that
he never made such a statement, that
there Is no connection and that the
supposed erroneous impression must
have been inadyentently given by who.
ever furnished the statement which ap
peared in a morning paper.
“The development association." he
says, ‘‘is entirely independent of any
railroad and Is a voluntary association
supported by voluntary contributions
on the parts of states, railroads and

NO WE NIHIL IF
YDUR DOG IS BAD
Carriers Told to Pass Up the
Houses Where Vicious
Brutes Run Loose.
Mail carriers in Atlanta have called
on government officials for protection
from vicous dogs. The authorities are
going to see that everything possible is
done to save trousers and prevent pain
ful Injuries front canine teeth, and As
sistant Postmaster Coles announced
today that no more mail will be deliv
ered at homes where dangerous d«gs
are allowed their freedom.
The decision came following injuries
received today by Carrier Stroud on
East Linden street. He was severely
bitten by a bulldog and fears rabies.
Little more than two weeks ago Al
ver A. Thomas, carrier in West End.
was bitten by a dog, and after the an
imal had been killed and the head ex
amined by state officials in the Pas
teur department it tyas found the dog
had rabies. Physicians announced that
Mr. Thomas is in danger of having an
attack of it and are giving him treat
ment. A number of other carriers have
been bitten recently.
"If people do not care enough for the
public safety to do away with vicious
dogs or even chain them in a secluded
part of their yards, the government is
not very anxious to deliver their mail,”
said Mr. Coles today.
"The postal regulations provide that
carriers do not have to deliver it at
houses where such dogs are kept, and
they positively will not do so in Atlan
ta hereafter. It is. either get rid of the
dogs or do without the carrier’s serv
ices.”
