STREET REFORMS SUOROWNTO APPROVE BILL Sweeping'lnvestigation of Im provement System to Result From Charter Changes. With Governor Brown's approval of 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 fend 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 wjll result in the closing of a number of alleged clubs by the city council. Good Morning! How Are Y OU?

Clangor Wrecks Atlanta Nerves HOPE FOR NOISELESS CITY NoiselessAAtlantaa —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 dally 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 in 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 rtfcrvous store and /nakes a man ac tually less able to carry on his daily duties,” said Dr. Block. "The ear is one of the most 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 best of nerves have but little opportunity to main tain their integrity under such condi tions, but 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 ( ANANEA. 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 and attacked the guards just as the prisoners were be ing locked in their cells last night. The murderer will be executed. iHßAihAMAUwnuiAix Aiwatna. w ui>.\UfSiJAY, AUGUST 14. 19iz. 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 I’nited 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. “I 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. 1 believe that persons who are responsible for such noises in Atlanta could be pre vailed upon to reform. “The man working in 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 worry. 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 apd dray and the absolute removal of Belgian blocks, he said.

MACON TO AWARD ITS NEW LIGHT CONTRACT BY VOTE OF PEOPLE MACON GA., Aug. 14.—The citizens of Macon will determine by- their vote early in November whether the city shall enter into a five-year contract for lights with either the present company or W.

FEE BILL GOES ID 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. 88, the pride and erstwhile pet anxiety of Representativ 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 all officials receiving fees in Georgia io 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 surely 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— hothing 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 thrlce a-week viewing- with-alarm that Old 88 never ha<j been brought to the house ..’or its august and distinguished con sideration. Finally, the rules committee got hold jf 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 day, and Wohlwender was happy—and the thing passed with a whoop! Now, "Bob" Hai ileman, 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.
