BOARD ATTACKER
Minority Member Accuses Ma
jority of Favoring Railroads
hy Which Employed.
MA'i'N. GA July 6 Mai on was
git en a genuine political senation when
io,non circular", bearing ten columns
of small type matter criticising the con
duct of VV II Fetner and <’. T. William,
son as water commissioners, were dis
tributed throughout the city. The card,
charging the two commissioners in de
tail with protecting railroads hy whom
they are employed ns well as other rich
corporations, was written and published
by Colonel W. A. Huff, also of the
board, and Macons 82-year-old ex
mayor.
Colonel Huff began the agitation Io
equalize the water rates. He especial
ly sought Io have the minimum rate
raised on the manufacturers, who to
gether use one-sixth of the water out
put every month, and get it below cost.
His fellow-commissioners opposed him
in this, and nt the last meeting "steani
rollefl" several resolutions over Colonel
Huff.
In his card he says that Messrs. Wil.
Hamsun and Fetner arc playing favor
ites and trying to ride two horses at
once 'They can’t serve two masters,"
declares Colonel Huff Then he adds;
"And the art of steam-rolling is an
accomplishment not needed in this
water board's office."
In conclusion, he asserts: "Some
tilings explain themselves, and when it
Is known that the oilier two members
of the water board belong to two of
Hie largest and richest railroads doing
business In Macon, who are also the
largest water consumers, all arguments
begin and end rigid there."
There was hardly a place of business
or residence that did not receive one of
these circulars. Messrs. Williamson
and Fetner have no reply .

Hints on Care of Baby in Summer
5--HOW TO DRESSJNFANT

Miss Berta Thomson, expert, showing how to dress a baby
. without hampering the freedom of the little one's limbs.
Tots Must Be Clothed Both to
Avoid Colds and Suffering
From Heat.
The following article Is the fifth of
th? morins prepared for Georgian read
ers h\ Miss Berta Thomson, expert on
Iho <;a i e of hahips :
By MISS BERTA THOMSON.
(Nurse in Charge of the Children's
Ward of Grady Hospital.)
In the care of the baby—not only in
summer, hill the year round special
attention should be given its clothing.
Every mother Should know how to
dress h‘-r baby properly, feu. of course,
the little tot doesn't know. and. unless
it has the right kind of clothing and
of the proper weight and amount, it
will suffci. Many babies are overclothed
and many are underclothed -It is a.n
easy matter to do either and both are
harmful. Hence, the mother should
give consistent thought to 'he matter of
baby's dress.
In the heated season I' is essential
that baby be clothed in such a manner
lhal it will not suffer from heat, and at
the same time be amply protected from
the vexatious summer colds. The most
iinnortanl features of summer dress are
a flannel band, for abdominal support;
a long or short-sleeved undershirt, ac
x'ording to the age of the child; diaper,
a flannel petticoat for outdoor wear,
and a white petticoat- one or the other
all the time and a simple white dress,
about a yard long, if the child is under
four or fixe months of age. If the baby
is healthy and strong and the weather
warm, short clothes can be substituted
for the long dress at the end of four or
five month-
Guard Against Colds.
If the baby is sickly and the weather
cold, ibis change should be deferred un
til the baby is at least sik months old.
For the second summer baby, xx ho Is
teething, care should he taken to pre
vent its catching cold, as colds cause
siomueh disorders and other ailments.

COMPLETE STATE TICKET

To protect a teething child from cold, a
piece of flannel about six to eight
inches square should be stitched on the
inside of the baby’s little undershirt,
so that It will completely cover the
stomach and abdomen. With this flan
nel protector, silk and cotton, or all
cotton, undershirts without sleeves are
ample. These shirts are known in 'he
stores as teething bands.
Second summer babies should not he
allowed to go barefooted. Half-length
socks and small leather’sandals give
the child ample comfort, and at the
same time protect it from the cold of
hare floors, porches and halls.
Abdominal Band Essential.
For the summer baby the ab
dominal band is absolutely essential.
It serves a double purpose. Being flan
nel. it protects the abdomen from cold.
Again, as It Is pinned tightly' ariund
the body, it acts as a brace or bandage
lo hold the abdomen In proper place
until the organs have developed to the
point xx here a displacement is not to be
feared. Without the use of this band,
the abdomen would have a. tendency to
protrude. It can be best controlled in
the formative period of the first six
months. If not, the abdomen will as
sume an abnormal development that, in
a sense, xvill almost become a deformi
ty in later years.
After baby reaches the age where it
begins to craw) and walk it should be
dressed to give its limbs all the freedom
possible.
Simple aprons that button down the
back, made of colored wash goods, or
the little colored rompers, buttoning
down the back and around the legs,
are convenient and sensible top gar
ments for crawlers and walkers. These
a pions and rompers, worn in or around
the house, save laundry and the wear
and tear of the more expensive xvhite
dresses, keeping the latter fresh for
dressy wear on the streets and when
there are callers. Simple white petti-
■ coats, with the top garment and under
shirt or teething band, are enough mid
day clothes for a second summer baby-.
Don't bundle the baby up too much,
but take care not to expose it without
a light coat or wrap in the cool of the
morning or evening.

BOND ISSUE ERR
STREET REPAIR
■URGED
One Element of Council Wants
Investigation of Construction
Department Before Acting.
criticism of (he condition of At
lanta's streets has aioused members of
council to a determination to resort to
drastic measures for relief. Today a
proposed $2,000,000-bond Issue is urged
by one element, while others want a
thorough investigation of the construc
tion department and of gene r al condi
tion- of streets before taking any ac
tion.
Mayor's View.
Mayor Winn said today that if the
city issued any more bonds they should
be for street improvements and a gar
bage disposal plant.
"But I an) opposed to any more se
rial bonds," he said. "We should issue
30-year bonds, for the city is burdened
enough with the annual SIOO,OOO pay
ment on the old serial bonds.
"We should provide for a crematory
only’ in the event that we fail, to make
a satisfactory contract with the De
structor Company by which the com
pany’ will take the city’s moral obliga
tion for the deferred payments."
Councilman Charles W. Smith de
clared that the proposal for a $2,000,000
bond issue for street improvements
was one of the biggest things ever
suggested for the. city. He said that
the city would have to pay' no more
than its annual normal appropriation
for street improvements and that the
bonds could be paid off within ten
years by the present system of assess
ments against property owners.
A special committee voted yesterday’
to recommend to council that a charter
amendment be obtained giving council
the authority to call a bond issue elec
tion early next year.
Mayor Winn made a personal inspec
tion of many streets yesterday in com
pany with engineers of the construc
tion department. He then held a con
ference with officials representing the
different viewpoints of the situation.
Mayor Tries to Heal Breach.
The mayor said some of the criti
cisms made conditions appear worse
than they are. But be has taken a
hand and advised that all the asphait
paving tn the city, most of which is
dotted with holes, be repaired at once.
It is expected that his investigation
Will Ro further and that later he will
have more definite comments to make.
He paid special attention to the lay
ing of the sewer through the North
avenue park and the cutting of the
trees in Baker street. work that
brought down bitter criticism on.the
construction department from J. O.
Cochran, president of the. park, board.
W. A. Hansel, acting chief of construc
tion; Harvey Hatcher, chairman of the
council streets committee: Mr. Coch
ran and Dan Carey, general manage’
of parks, were called into the confer
ence. the special object of which, it
seems, was to bring about a better
spirit of co-operation between the park
and construction departments
The proposal for a bond issue for
streets already' indicates a greater es
trangement of the two. Friends of
parks have been planning for a $2,000.-
000 bond issue for parks, and they' say
their bond Issue should have first call
over the new proposal.
Haverty Urges Issue.
Clarence Haverty. chairman of the
special committee recommending the
bond issue for streets, said today:
“The committee believes it is time to
have a big bond issue for much needed
street improvements all over the city.
If we watt to do this work for funds
from the city's normal revenue it will
be years and years. We will urge to
council that the people be allowed to
vote on such a bond issue. If they
vote It down they' themselves take the
responsibility for the slow progress for
which council 1s criticised."
The other members present were
Harvey Hatcher. A. D. Thomson. A. H.
Van Dyke and J. B. Everett.’ They urge
that council request the state legisla
ture for a charter amendment giving
authority tor a bond issue election.

L. H. Zurline. well-known Atlanta real
estate man. will become connected with
the Ralph O Cochran real estate office
next week. Mr. Zurline has been asso
ciated with S. B. Turman & Co. for many
years, having started with this firm as a
boy. During this connection his prin
cipal duty has been that of looking after
the details of the loan business. Mr- Zur
line is one of the best known men in this
line of business in Atlanta, and the news
of his new connection will be of interest
to his many friends. The Ralph O. Coch
ran Company is now being organized, and
Mr. Zurline will become a stockholder and
officer in this new’ company. He will have
charge of the loan department, and the
company will make a feature of this part
of the business. Mr. Cochran, whose busi
ness will be succeeded by the newly or
ganized company, has conducted one of
•the best real estate and renting concerns
in Atlanta, and recently the loan feature
was added to his business. His office
now represents a life insurance company
in making city and farm loans and local
connections have been formed whereby
loans can be quickly- negotiated.
SIDEffITS on
STATE POLITICS
Gossip on Pertinent Topics
Gathered From Here and
There.
Some time ago this fount of political
wdsdom and astuteness, known among
the truly erudite as Sidelights, averred
that the governorship race had devel
oped Into "a runaway for Jack Sla
ton."
Since that time there have been can
didates and rumors of candidates, but
Slaton still is running away, and there
apparently is no stopping him.
Since that memorable and doomed
to-be historic promulgation aforesaid,
the Hardman boom has had it days of
glory and is rushing to the grave; the
Thomas S. Felder call has resounded up
and down the state, from Rabun Gap
to Tybee Light, but the faithful have
responded not. and it has gone the way
of the Hardman boom; the Hardwick
movement, tangled hopelessly tn a con
gressional Jungle down in the Tenth,
has gone glimmering, and is no more.
Slaton still stands upon the burning
deck, whence all but him hive fled!
Joe Hill Hall is a mighty good man
and has friends by’ the score, and more,
in Georgia. He is recognized as a leg
islator of fine and worthy make-up,
but there are few who are betting on
him gubernatorially.
There is talk, very much under the
cover as yet. but talk, nevertheless, of
Judge Covington for governor. It is
being whispered that he will shy his
hat into the ring and mix it with Sla
ton.
He may, but there are those who
doubt it. And if he does, the predic
tion is safe and sane that the betting
still will incline heavily to Slaton.
If. down to brass tacks, that is the
true situation, is there any barm in
stating it. right out in meeting, and so
everybody may hear the talk?
There is always a silver lining
for everybody, if only he will
search it out. For the Champ f'lark
men. for instance, there is the con
solation that they have heard tlie
last of that axxftil "houn’ dawg"
song, anyway.
The posilive announcement of Attor
ney General Thomas S. Felder that he
will not be a candidate for governor
opens up anew the question of the at
torney generalship.
At present, there is only one avowed
candidate for that highly lionorable and
important office, William R. Jones, of
Meriwether, a member of the pre c ent
house of representatives
It had been generally assumed, up
to the time his gubernatorial boom was
inflated and set adrift, that Mr. Felder
would be a candidate to succeed him
self. Lately the talk has run to Jones
as an unopposed candidate.
The question noxv is. will Felder be
a candidate to succeed himself In hie
present offii e, or shall Jones still be
permitted to snatch the plum without
protest?
Jones is hoping, sawing W’ood. and
saying nothing. Felder probably- will
make- known bis precis® attitude with
in the n°.x( few dax .
