There's a crippled woman with an asthmatic accordion and a half-starved child who sits on the sidewalk in Ma rietta street toward what yvould be twilight if the electric company wait ed a little longer. The old woman crouches under her shawl and drags and squeezes from the ancient Instru ment what the careful listener may rec ognize as the hymns of the old school, while the child stops those of the pass ing throng who do not crowd her from their path and whines tor a penny for her mother. There'-■ a tail violinist whose favorite haunt is In .Mitchell street, who pulls excruciating sounds from the tortured catgut while a woman with the marks of the-opium fiend passes the hat at the crossing. There is a hand organ man hear the postoffice, and a guitar player who sets his stage close, to the city hall. On Sundays there are a dozen of these vagabonds of the lyre who seek aims in the loafing throng uptown. Oh, yes: They Could Get Jobs. Fakers’ Yes; most of them. They could all be at work if they wanted to. Certainly. There are plenty of good positions open for blind men and wom en with tubercular coughs. But it's so much pleasanter to stand in the rdin and play for an audience which hurries by in the perpetual darkness than to sit at a roll-top desk and sign checks; so these fakers jdst won’t stop their music.

Shortly after the Georgia senate con vened today Senator J. C. Beauchamp, of the Twenty-second district, sprang a sensation by introducing a resolution calling l or an investigation of the state board of health.

The health board met and Dr. Har ris was completely exonerated. Dr. Beauchamp said today that since the allegations were made by one as high in the medical profession as Dr. West moreland that a complete legislative probe should be undertaken. Dr. George Brown, of Atlanta, intro duced a similar resolution in the house calling for an investigation committee of two from the senate and three from the house. |llllliillllllllllllllllllllllllll||||||||l!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH BlllllllllllilllllllllllillllllllHHHiililllllllllllllllllltllllllllllg I I J.MJiKffl COMBWY. ernnm.
