SORE; BROM
APPROVE BILL
Sweeping Investigation of Im
provement System to Result
From Charter Changes.
►-
With Governor Brown’s approval ot
Atlanta’s charter amendment bill,
which was passed by both branches of
the general assembly yesterday, the
council will begin a sweeping Investi
gation of the city’s street improvement
system.
Mayor Winn and Councilman Aldine
Chambers both said today that Gov
ernor Brown had given them assur
ance that he would approve the bill.
On account of the limited time before
the city election, a special meeting of
the council will be called to appoint an
investigating committee. The charter
amendment gives the council authority
thoroughly to reorganize the chief of
construction department and make
many other changes.
Many officials today expressed the
opinion that The Georgian’s campaign
for better streets would soon show gen
uine material results. .Aiderman John
S. Candler said that there was no doubt
that the real troubles with the street
Improvement system would be revealed
by the investigation and the necessary
adjustments made. A majority of the
city fathers are agreed that drastic ac
tion must be taken.
The city council meets Monday, but
on account of the many bills Governor
Brown will have submitted to him it is
not expected that he will have an op
portunity to approve the city bill be
fore the middle of next week. There
fore, a special meeting of the council
will probably be called.
The bill also gives the council the
right to close the Forsyth street under
pass, provided an outlet for the stores
fronting on the railroad tracks can be
secured of which the governor will ap
prove. This will help to make Forsyth
street one of the principal thorough
fares of the city. •
Authority to tax locker clubs SSOO
each and to close them through the
revocation of permits is granted. It is
expected that his provision will result
in the closing of a number of alleged
clubs by the city council.

Clangor Wrecks Atlanta Nerves
HOPE FOR NOISELESS CITY
Noiseless Atlanta—a city sans the ex
cessive clanging of car bells, sans the
roar of heavy traffic passing over Bel
gian blocks, sans the grinding and
screeching of locomotives—is the ideal
which certain civic reformers hope to
see take concrete shape.
Not the least of these is Dr. E. Bates
Block, who says that without the noises
the average Atlanta citizens would
daily be in much better condition to
meet their moral and civic responsibil
ities.
The fact that Atlanta passes daily
through a series of clamor without no
torious disaster is proof positive to Dr.
Block that a perceptible uplift itj the
average condition of the Atlanta citi
zen could be accomplished by the abo
lition of noises which really are unnec
essary.
Depletes Nervous Store.
“Whether an individual is what is
commonly called ‘nervous’ or not, the
incessant clangor In his ear depletes
the nervous store and makes a man ac
tually less able to carry on his daily
duties," said Dr. Block.
"The ear Is one of the mo§t delicate
organs of the human body, but our dis
regard for its well being through sub
mitting to barbarous and altogether un
necessary noises during a larger part of
the day can not fail to bring about
lasting ill effects. The b§st of nerves
have but little opportunity to main
tain their Integrity under such condi
tions, Rut nevertheless we go on and
on in the same way. As may be read
ily understood, nature at last revolts,
and the victim is forced to pay the
penalty by injury, often permanent, to
health.
“Man. though a reasoning animal,
often is more unreasoning than are
FOUR GUARDS KILLED
AND THREE WOUNDED
BY MEXICAN CONVICT
CANANEA. MEXICO, Aug 14.—Four
guards at the Cananea penitentiary are
dead and three others are dying today
as the result of a furious encounter
with Francisco Galeana, a convict who
was trying to escape. Galeana was
armed with only: a knife. During the
fray all the other prisoners escaped, but
were later rounded up by soldiers.
Galeana cut the telephone wires lead
ing into the prison Jhnd attacked the
guards just as the prisoners were be
ing locked in their cells last night. The
murderer will be executed.

dumb brutes, for the latter will cease
doing that which nature tells them is
not to their advantage; but man will
keep on and persist in following a
course which, in the very nature of
things, must prove harmful.
"This is particularly so in the United
States. Unnecessary noises of the
street are conditions which Atlantans
and Americans in general are more
greatly subjected to than are the resi
dents of any other country. Street
noises are a decided factor in bringing
about neurasthenia, which is an ailment
peculiar almost to American people.
Trains Worst Offenders.
’T really can not see why a person,
whether he be interested in civic ad
vancement or not, can claim the right
to create and maintain a noise which
he knows is unnecessary. I believe
that persons who are responsible for
such noises in Atlanta could be pre
vailed upon to reform.
“The man working tn a. machine shop
or telegraph room has his nervous sys
tem affected, and the effect is almost
as debilitating as If he actually un
derwent a mental w-orry. If a man real
ly wants to appreciate the difference,
let him undertake a task that requires
close mental application first in the
city and then In the country. He will
immediately see that in the second case
his thoughts are more pliable and occur
with better order than in the first."
The most unnecessary noises in At
lanta. in the opinion of Dr. Block, are
those coming from trains passing
through the center of the city and
from drays passing over Belgian blocks.
These noises could be diminished by
the use of devices on engine and dray
and the absolute removal of Belgian
blocks, he said.

FEE BILL GOES TO
BROWN TO SIGN
Watchful Wohlwender. of Mus
cogee. Finally Puts "Old 88"
Across in the House.
A long sigh of relief is on its way
heavenward today, for senate bill No. I
88, the pride and erstwhile pet anxiety |
of Representative Ed Wohlwender, of
Muscogee, has passed the house of rep
resentatives. and now awaits the sig
nature of Governor Brown!
This is a bill to require ail officials
receiving fees in Georgia to keep ac
curate records thereof, and to submit
them to public inspection from time to
time.
There was much opposition to it,
and for a while it looked as if it sure y
would fail of passage. It doubtless
would have suffered that sad fate had
some one other than Watchful Wohl
vender been behind it.
On the first day of the present ses
sion Wohlwender moved to take old bill
88 out of the pigeonhole, where it had
reposed a year or so, and “shove her
through.” There was objection, and
Wohlwender sat down. Three days aft
er that, Wohlwender tried it again—
nothing doing.
Always the Same Clamor.
Then Wohlwender, who has a voice
ike a fog horn and a vocabulary three
degrees finer than Elbert Hubbard’s,
settled right down to a steady thrice
a-week viewing- with-alarm that Old 88
never had been brought to the house
'or its august and distinguished con
sideration.
Finally, the rules committee got hold
ts the thing, and Wohlwender changed
his thrice-a-week viewing-with-alarm
to a twice-a-week performance. He
ripped that rules committee up the
back, on the bias, and across lots. He
said things about it that can not be
printed in any newspaper hoping to get
by the postal authorities. There was
hardly a night that passed in which
Wohlwender did not toss and groan in
nightmare about Old 88. and the rules
committee coming out of its lair every
few- minutes and sitting heavy and de
pressing-like on Wohlwender’s manly
chest.
At last the pressure got too stout for
“Bob” Hardeman and his crowd, and
they resolved that the rules commit
tee must report Old 88 for a hearing in
the house, or Wohlwender would organ
ize a lynching party, and there might
not be any rules committee soon. So
the bill was put on the calendar Tues-
I day, and Wohlwender was happy—and
I the thing passed with a whoop!
Now, "Bob" Hardeman, who engi
neers the rules committee's steam roll
er, has a neatly framed motto hanging
over his desk in the speaker’s room,
which reads: “Oh, persistency, thy
name is Wohlwender, of Muscogee!”
Mr. W. S. Gunsalus, a farmer living
near Fleming. Pa., says he has used
Chamberlain’s Colic. Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy in his family for four
teen years, and that he has found it to
be an excellent remedy, and takes
pleasure in recommending it. For sale

less stated that the fog is very- thick.
