THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY. JUNE 28. 1912. Up and Down Peachtree 13 Ever since Captain John Triplett, the well-known Thomasville sage and wise philosopher, voted for Horace Greely for president of the United States' in 1868, he has persistently and consistently bet a $5 hat on every subsequent Democratic nominee. Os course, under that system, the cap tain has lost every hat with the excep tion of two lonesome lids, that came to him by the grace of Grover Cleveland in 1884 and 1892. These various bets, with the exceptions noted, have always been won by Captain Triplett's townsman. H. \V. Hopkins. Mr. Hopkins is a stout-hearted and un compromising Democrat, and only bets against Captain Triplett because he hates to think of a loathed Republican win ning a Democratic hat— and. besides, he can use a new hat every four years, if necessary. Captain Triplett says he Is getting tired of furnishing hats for "Bill” Hopkins, and expects to get even with him this year, or one hat nearer even, anyway. The captain is strong for Underwood, and thinks the Alabaman not only the logical man for the nomination, but the man sure to win. He is not only "root ing” for Underwood—he says he Is pray ing for him. Captain Triplett has, but one fear. If Bryan should be nominated, the. Thomas ville man says another good hat Is a goner. He has notified "old Bill Hopkins" that, if Bryan is nominated. Triplett is game enough to buy the hat right away, and let "Bill” have the use of ft this sum mer. Hopkins says he really doesn't care a hoot whether be wins the hat this time — In fact, he rather hopes he will lose But he is tn on the bet agatn, as usual, for he doesn't propose that any old Repub lican shall have Triplett’s skypiece, if things go wrong with the Democrats In November. "Uncle Bob” Irwin, of the insurance de partment of Georgia, is a mighty happy man nowadays. He got even, good and proper, with his ancient enemy. Colonel "Bill” Speer, the other day—and that is all it takes to make “Uncle Bob” happy. Not long ago. Colonel Speer, the state treasurer, was sitting In his office talking to a plutocratic looking person, and “Un cle Bob" came through. "Uncle Bob” passed the usual salutation, familiarly, but got no recognition in return. After he passed along, the plutocratic looking stranger Inquired of Colonel Speer to know who that "familiar old person” was, and the colonel told him “Uncle Boh” was only an old milk and butter man who knocked around the capitol now and then, and that everybody humored him and overlooked his pertness When “Uncle Bob" heard of this he was madder than all the wet hens that ever were, and for a long time he couldn’t sleep at night, for thinking how he was to get even. The other day, Colonel Speer was sit ting out in the big lobby, waiting for some cleaning and scrubbing to be done inside his office, when a gentleman from Wayback strolled through, and opened conversation “Hey. podner!” said Reuben to the state treasurer, "ain’t this the capitol?” Colonel ' Bill" Speer allowed as how it was “Guess you got a putty easy job. hey?" Suggested Reuben, insinuatingly. Colonel “Bill" Speer allowed as how it wasn’t so blamed easy as It might be. maybe. “Rooks easy to me. Ain t you the janitor?” Inquired Reuben "Uncle Bob.” the “old milk and but ter man.” was right around the earner and heard It all. And that’s why “Uncle Bob” 1s willing to buy the cigars and the soda water for anybody nowadays. SUPREME COURT OF GEORGIA. Argued and Submitted.

TEST CASE MADE ONGUMVENDERS Slot Machine Company Barred From Atlanta Saloons to Appeal Case. Voluntarily having itself arrested and fined in police court to test the gaming laws as const rued by Recorder Nash Broyles, the Atlanta Gum Machine Vending Company will fight to the finish in the courts for the right to operate its slot machines in Atlanta sa loons. War on these machines wars de clared a few days ago by Judge Broyles when he ruled that they are operated in djreet violation of law, and ordered that they be removed from saloons im mediately. The company declined tn accept the recorder's ruling and determined on a test case. On request of Attorney J. A. Branch, counsel for the company, Po lice Chief Beavers yesterday made a ease against T. C. Alexander, the man ager. and Judge Broyles imposed a fine of $25.75. No issue was made as to the facts. Attorney Branch and Assistant City Attorney W. D. Ellis, representing the city, agreeing to a written state ment which was presented to the court. No Cases Pending Appeal. The decision of the recorder will be appealed. It is probable that the su preme court of the United States will be asked to pass judgment before the rights of the slot machine finally are determined. Pending final decision, the police will make no eases against saloonists who may operate the machines. Attorney Branch contends that the machines of the gum vending company are in no wise a gaming devise and that the playing of the machines can not be construed as a game of chance. He says that a card posted on the tn«- chihes indicates to the player exactly what he will get when he deposits his nickel, and that he always gets his money’s worth, if not more Judge Broyles ruled out the ma chines under the law that stipulates that no wheel or other device, or game of chance, shall be operated tn a place of business for the purpose of attract ing trade.
