Intensely Interested in the proposition,

Whatever big changes are decided
trpon can not go into effect until Jan
uary 1. for the construction office was
filled by an election by the people until
that'rime.
Thirty Miles of Ppve
Ordered Untouched.
That not one foot of the 30 miles
of stdewaJk pavement authorized by
council this year baa been laid was the
startling condition bared today. The
reason is that the construction depart
ment has'not done the necessary grad
ing for the paving contractors to be
gin work.
The situation is made even worse by
the fact that eight miles of curbing has
been laid on the streets designated for
paving Rut without the sidewalk
paving every rain washes a great part
of the paving down.
The construction department has laid
21.2 mile« of curbing and sidewalks
Rut all of the sidewalk paving was
work passed up by council last year.
Commenting on the condition before
the streets committee. John S. Owens.
Atlanta capitalist who has a part of
th» street paving contract, said.
"There is no system by which this
work is taken up. The city code spec
ifies that it shall be done In the order
authorized by council. This is not
done Neither contractors nor proper
ty owners know when a street provided
for pavement will be paved.
"I offer this suggestion: When a
street is started, lay the curb, grade it
and pave it before taking up another
piece of work The grading crews pump
from one point to another now whether
the work is finished or not.”
Councilman J H. Andrews, a mem
ber of the streets committee, declared
that it was not equitable to follow the
code and do the work in the order in
which it was passed up because there
was no system by which council pass
ed up work. He said the plan of the
committee was to try and distribute the
work among the wards.
i Han Grading
Os Ivy Street.
"I don't think we ought to try to do
all of this sidewalk work." said Coun
cllman C J Vaughan ”\Ye hate had
no street work done this year and there
is certainly a need for some.”
A more progressive spirit than usual
was displayed by members of the com
mittee, however. when they practically
committed themselves to a plan for
grading Ivy street front Decatur to
Peachtree streets in conjunction with
the lowering of the grade at the junc
tion of tb.e and Baket street

George M Hope, the property owner?
on this street agreed to advance the
city the necessary money to adjust the
buildings on this street to the new
grade, and the county comml.-siomrs
are ready to have their convicts do tht
work
Captain Tom Donaldson, superintend
ent of construction for the county told
the committee that tt was a short - '
sighted policy not to grade both of
thes< streets at the same time He -Hd
that many of the necessary tills in Ivy

West Peachtree street to get consid

Urges Ignoring
Damage Threats.
Nover hesitate to make a needed
public Improvement through fear of
suits. When I was In council twenty
vears ago the railroads offered to build
viaducts across the railroad tracks that
pass through the center of town, bl
inding an overpass at Pryor street,
Without cost to she city, provided the
city would relieve them of all respon
sibility for damage suits.
"One member of council declared that
the damage suits that would result from
the building of a viaduct connecting
Peachtree and Whitehall streets would
cost the city $1,000,000.
" The proposition of the railroads was
turned down. The city was later forced
to build the viaducts at its own ex
pense. The damages collected amount.
O'i to practically nothing."
Ihe committee heard a statement
from Njm Hurt, assistant in charge
of streets under the chief of construc
tion He said the rains had greatly
handicapped the department, but that
he had about 50 more convicts since
July 4 'I he number had been about 90
fol several weeks, but now he said
he had about 140.
The committee then agreed to give
the construction department the au
thority to hire mote free labor and to
have grading work done by contract.
John S. Owens was asked if he would
take a contract to do grading work for
sidewalk paving.
Yes," he replied. "I will take it at
■ost."
The committee will ask for this au
thority at the meeting of council Mon
day.
Councilman 'hyille Hall stated that
a charter amendment was now pending
before the legislature which, when
passed, would give the city the author,
ity to build curbing, so that it would
not wash away so easily. The amend
ment provides that property owners be
assessed for glittering as well as curb
ing. and that the guttering he laid at
’he same time.
Now the curbing is built without any

SEABORN WRIGHT !
TO HELP WILSON
Georgia Orator Declares Dem
ocratic Candidate Is Man
After His Own Heart.
Seaborn 'V’-ight. the famous orator
and statesman from Floyd county, will
aggressively and actively support
Woodrow Wilson for the presidency of
the I'nlted States.
A month or so ago it was announced
that Mr. Wright would give his support
to Theodore Roosevelt, and that he pro
posed to take the stump for him and
help land Georgia under the Rough
Rider's banner.
That was before the two big parties
had made their nominations, however,
and at the time Mr. Wright was under
the impression that the Republicans
I would nominate Roosevelt regularly
and that the Democrats would nomi
nate Harmon or some other conserva
tive.
In those circumstances. Mr. Wright
had determined to work for Roosevelt.
Wilson Suits Wright.
When the Democrats got together in
Baltimore and nomianted Woodrow
Wilson, they did a thing that suited Mr.
Wright perfectly.
The Georgia orator and prohibition
leader has found Wilson to be a man
exactly after his heart Mr. Wright
himself is a radical, and believes in the
things that Wilson believes in. He
shares the Wilson views on both po
litical and moral issues. He admires
Wilson, indeed, oven more than he ad
mires Roosevelt. And. then. too. by
supporting Wilson, be will preserve his
party regularity
It Is likely that Mr. Wright, in the
I course of the presidential campaign.
[ will make several speeches in Georgia
for the New Jersey governor.

more conscientiously and honest
ly to enforce a prohibition
law than has the city of Atlanta.
Public sentiment, so far as I know ,
in this city at present is positively
opposed t<> the return of lite open
-barroom. and would much prefer
that th? milder form of alcoholic
drink be publicly and legally sold
in the form of beer. The sale of
beer legally is, in my opinion, the
solution of the liquor problem.
There have been fewer drunks on
the streets of Atlanta in the past
two years than ever before in our
history.
So Drastic It Will
Not Be Inforced.
My objection to the Tippins bill
is that it is so drastic and so un-g
reasonable that it will not be en
forced. and public sentiment in ev
ery city in the state of more than
10.000 people w ill be against its en
forcement; and I am afraid the re
sult will be that the state will lose
tl'.e revenue it now derives from the
operation of a sane and conserva
tive prohibition law: Atlanta will
lose the revenue from the licenses
granted near-beer saloons in thi’
city, and there will be a general
condition of open violation of the
law due to the resentment felt by
I even the conservative people of the
state that they did not have an op
portunity to vote upon the measure,
and their representatives in the
legislature were in large part elect
ed without the prohibition question
entering into their campaign for
the office which they now hold.
The state of Georgia has grown
very rapidly In the past few years
ano is now the fourth agricultural
state in the Lion; her commercial
and manufacturing industries are
thriving; her more than 750 banks
are in excellent condition, and her
farmers have just raised the lar
gest cotton and corn crops in her
history and to have the state torn
into tatters politically, friends and
relatives divided on this question,
and the ultimate result disastrous,
no matter which side may win. is
an unpleasant picture to contem
plate.
I hope that there Is yet time for
this important matter to be con
sidered calmly, without fanaticism,
political ambition or prejudice, or
undue gallantry to the- applauding
female visitors in the gallery, and
the present prohibition law left un
disturbed. which was the ovet -
whelming sentiment of the people
when they last had the opportunity
to express their wishes at the polls.

<
Parents Not to Fail to pet
Admission Checks.
That there are approximately 27,190
children of school age in Atlanta and

board of education. In 1908 tvhen the
last school census was taken the chil
dren of school age in Atlanta numbered
25.490. Enrolled in the schools last year
were 22,971 white and colored pupils.
What percentage of the remaining
4.219 white and colored children attend
private schools and what per cent do
not go to school at all is the subject
of an interesting investigation to be
undertaken by Superintendent Slaton
and the hoard of education.
Parents who have children expecting
to enter the Atlanta public schools this
coming fall were requested today by
Mr. Slaton tn make sure of obtaining
the proper tickets of admission without
delay.
The superintendent has set forth the
following information concerning pu
pils w ho are required to obtain admisi
sfon tickets:
Those Who Must Get Tickets.
Eirst —All new pupils, or those
who have never been in the public
schools of Atlanta.
Second—All pupils who were not.

fourth All pupils who attended
a school other than the one in their
district last year.
fifth—All pupils whose school
districts have been changed.
Sixth—All pupils who wish to
skip the eighth grade and enter
any one of the high schools.
Examination September 6.
AH: new pupils or pupils who have
been out of the city two years or more

An unidentified negro was kelltd in
the Candler building elevator shaft this
morning. He had gone to the base
ment of the building to arrange for
hauling away a load of ashes, leaving
his dray standing outside. When lie
came up from the basement in the ele

already stepped so far out of the car
that he lost his balance, fell out to the
floor, and then as the elevator ascend

shaft beneath it and plunged headlong
30 feet to the concrete floor of the low .

his neck and skull being broken.
Coroner Donehoo viewed the body,
