W REPAVING UP
TDCOUNCILNQW
Streets Committee Recom
mends That Work Be Done.
Other Improvements.
, Big street improvements will be put
up to the council for approval at the
meeting this afternoon.
The leveling of the grade of Ivy
street will be recommended by the
streets committee. Councilman Orville
Hall, Aiderman John E. McClelland and
several others are opposed to this
project, on the grounds that there is
other work more Important. But the
indications are that the council will
approve the plan.
A petition from property owners will
be presented requesting that Whitehall
street be paved from Trinity avenue to
Cooper street. This matter will be re
ferred to the streets committee. The
city has no funds for such work, and
whether it will be done at once depends
on whether the property owners will
advance the money for the city's part,
as the Ivy street property owners have
agreed to do.
The establishment of a permanent
building line for Peachtree street, mak
ing ft an 80-foot street its entire length,
will be considered for final action.
Council already has adopted an ordi
nance establishing a building line, but
It has no authority to enforce it. Al
bert Howell has begun the construc
tion of a $500,000 apartment house at
the corner of Peachtree street and
Ponce DeLeon avenue, plans for which
were made before council established
the new building line. He offers to
change his plans, giving the city a
ten-foot strip of land, for $5,000. The
property owners declare that if the
city will provide this sum It will Insure
all other buildings being erected on
the new property line and remove all
doubt of the widening of Peachtree
etreet.

SPINSTERS EULOGIZED
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.—" God Almighty
never intended that all women should
enter wedlock."
With that statement as a starter, the
Rev. Frank Bruner launched upon an
impassioned eulogy of spinsters in a
sermon that is being discussed with
vigor today by members of his congre
gation.
"Such a scheme would establish Mor
monism and put the flag of bigamy at
the top of the mast,” he said. "Con

POPULAR VAUDEVILLE
BEGINS AT FORSYTH
Popular vaudeville is to be introduced
in Atlanta this Monday starting with a
matinee at 2:30 o’clock and continuing at
Li 45 9: 1 5 a t night, and this will be
the daily schedule of performances. This
style of vaudeville has become immensely
popular in all the principal cities, and has
won the support of the very best people,
who were quick to discover the vast dif
ference between popular price vaudeville
of the Keith sort, and that which is pre
sented under other conditions.
The five acts that make up the program
are of the standard sort, carefully selected
and representative In every respect. The
Forsyth management has exercised the
greatest care in making up the bills and it
Is believed that the theatergoers are going
to be enthusiastic in their Indorsement
of the policy.
For this week Jimmy Rosen and Com
pany presenting "Cupid Incorporated” will
be one of. the features Jimmy Rosen
succeeded Master Gabriel in the title role
of "Buster Brown" and here in Atlanta
scored a great personal triumph. In
vaudeville he had been successful and his
Atlanta friends will be glad to welcome
the clever little comedian. Kennedy and
Mack, two of the most original and clever
est of modern comedy gymnasts, will be
another of the features, and it is expect
ed that Fentelle and Vallorie in new' songs
and dances will be pleasing. The musical
nevelty to be presented by the DeMichalle
Brothers has been tested in the best
theaters, with real success, and Al Ray
no's Bull Dogs represent the best canine
nevelty in vaudeville.
There has been a real interest in this
style of entertainment and every indica
tion that the best people in Atlanta are
going to be its patrons The advance sale
of seats indicates this interest and the re
sult will be of interest. Reserved seats
for night performances become void if not
occupied at 8: 20o’clock, an agreement en
tered into at the time of the purchases,
but the holder is entitled to lower floor
admission.
BIJOU ANNOUNCES
PROGRAM FOR WEEK

Thatcher, the baseball boys, with a roar
ing comedy skit; Fields and Finks, pre
senting "An Italian Murder Trial,” in a

in a variety skit, entitled "Three Feet
of Vaudeville.” The very best of motion
pictures, especially selected, will open
and close each performance Matinees
are given daily at 3 o’clock, except Sat

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE
FOR JUDGE W. R. JONES
FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
TO THE VOTERS OF GEORGIA:
Mr. Tom Felder, my opponent for attorney general, is pleading
for a second term in his office. He was a long time announcing for a
second term in any event.
He denied his distinguished predecessor a second term; why
should he (Felder) have what he (Felder) denied the man who pre
ceded him in office?
Mr. Felder was a long time announcing for attorney general;
he wanted to be governor. He hung fire for a week between the
thing he really WANTED to do, and the thing he now undertakes
to do.
The statement was made, and he gave out interviews to the
newspapers that he would be a candidate for governor, if things
would only come his way. They did come—and now he wants
to be attorney general again Why should he whine and complain
about a second term now and get peevish because another aspires
to the attorney generalship? Why should he, after all his wab
bling, say now, “I should be indorsed and Bill’ Jones should be
turned down?” Why did he not ask to be indorsed for attorney
general in the first instance?
I have the indorsement of the bar of my circuit as to my ef
ficiency as an attorney in Georgia, and as a worthy member of the
legislature. I have not wabbled between running for this and that
and the other office. I should like to be elected to the office of at
torney general Will you not help me to achieve my honorable
ambition, Mr. Voter?

STIFF FIGHT IN THOMAS
FOR REPRESENTATIVES
THOMASVILLE, GA., Aug. 19.—Th"
race for Thomas county representa

livelier than was anticipated owing to
the entrance of R. R. Chastain. Judge
H. W. Hopkins and B. C. Reese are
candidates for re-election. Judge Hop
kins, representing the town element. It
is thought, will have no trouble in get
ting in, but there will be a stiff fight
between the other two candidate for
the country vote.
Flying Men Fall
victims to stomach, liver and kidney
troubles just like other people, with
like results in loss of appetite, back
ache, nervousness, headache, and tired,
listless, run down feeling. But there’s
no need to feel like that, as T. D. Pee
bles. Henry. Tenn., proved. "Six bot
tles of Electric Bitters,” he writes, “did
more to give me new strength and good
appetite than all other stomach reme
dies I used." So they help everybody.

GENERAL BOOTH STILL IN
PRECARIOUS CONDITION
LONDON, Aug. 19.—The condition
of General Booth, founder and head of
the Salvation Army, who is very ill,
was unchanged today. General Booth
passed a restless night, his nervous
symptoms being slightly more marked.
A nurse and physician were in at
tendance at the bedside all night.
I expect most of the votes
for Railroad Commissioner
in middle, north, east and

other three candidates live
in south Georgia; large vote
in south Georgia because I
favor new railroads all over
Georgia. I would thank any
gentlemen who would rep

BACON IS FOR “INTERESTS,”
STATES THOMSON PROGRESS
IN A VIGOROUS EDITORIAL
The following interesting editorial on the race for United States Sena
tor is taken from The Thomson Progress:
WILL BACON BE RENOMINATED?
Will Senator Bacon be renominated at the coming primary as a Demo
cratic candidate for United States Senator from Georgia? We are frank to
say that it seems that he will. Just how he has managed to turn the trick
year after year we have been, and are still, unable to answer. But the
everlasting fact is that throughout the rece'nt turbulent years in Georgia
politics he haa successfully weathered the storm.
Bear in mind that at all times he has stood in with the "great interests"
that have ao vigorously fought, and yet not a time has popular sentiment
turned against him. Bear in mind that in all these years the "great inter
ests" of the country have never been dissatisfied with him. Bear in mind
that when the transcontinental railway fought the Panama canal, ahd
when the entire South was giving that measure its strong support, our sen
ator was found lined up with these transcontinental railways making speech
after speech against the Panama canal, which it is hoped will be the great
well-spring of Southern prosperity in a few years. Bear in mind that when
an effort was made to throttle the great Interstate railways in the issuing
of bonds and stocks, in other words. In watering their capitalisation and
thereby putting a mortgage on coming generations, that our senator spoke
against and voted against this measure.
Bear In mind that when Taft’s little Attorney General Wicker-sham
prosecuted Brown, Hayne and others for attempting to put up the price of
cotton and thereby turn millions of dollars into the pockets of Southern peo
ple, appeals were made from Thomson to Senator Bacon to intervene in
their behalf, and the reply was in substance that it was a matter in which
he had no concern. I-ater Senator Smith, of South Carolina, and other
Southern representatives made it too hot for Wickersham and his crowd
and the prosecution came to naught, but remember that it was a matter in
which the Georgia Senator had no concern.
It may be that the people will go on and nominate him again. It may
be that Mr. Perry, of Hall, will not succeed in obtaining the nomination,
and yet it will forever be a mystery to The Progress how one old man can
pull the wool over the eyes of thousands and thousands of Georgia farm
ers, Georgia business men and Georgia voters in general.
