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.

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 With this .afternoon's performance, the Bijou will inaugurate another week of clever vaudeville and motion pictures. The program announces Melville and Thatcher, the baseball boys, with a roar ing comedy skit; Fields and Finks, pre senting "An Italian Murder Trial,” in a New York court room, taken from real life.

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? W. R. JONES GREENVILLE, GA. Jerome Moore, W. W. Gaines, Wm. M.

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 west Georgia because the 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 resent me at the polls. JOHN H. JAMES. (COMMUNICATED.) 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.
