stock, voted to increase the capital stock
of the company from $10,000,000 to $30.-

By their action, the directors capital
ized the company's assets, Stahl declared.
John D. Rockefeller was virtually given
a present of $7,500,000 by the increase.
Stahl, whose wife is a sister of Mrs. John
D. Archbold, testified he had not seen
John D. Rockefeller in fifteen years.
'‘Evidently our increase of stock did not
displease him,” testified Stahl, for we
have never heard from him.”

PUBLIC WARNED AGAINST FALSE RUMORS
DR. GEORGE BROWN
Candidate for Mayor Addresses the Public
In my campaign for Mayor I have attempted to use clean andjair methods.
I think a precedent should be set for conducting clean mayoralty campaigns in Atlanta, and it is time to stop the
practice of slandering every man who enters a mayoralty campaign.
I warn the public against false rumors started on the eve of election.
My life has been an open book. I have served four years as representative of Fulton county in the Legislature, and
have been for progress, toleration and fair play.
My platform has dealt especially with the vital health problem which faces the city. The importance of the health
problem can not be overestimated.
At the same time I would not overlook any other feature of the city’s upbuilding and growth. The schools, the streets,
the construction department, the police, the fire and water departments, as well as the sanitation and tax problems would
receive my earnest attention.
I also believe in a clean town, morally as well as physically, but I do not believe in inaugurating measures which
would advertise this town before the world as being vice-ridden, when, in truth, it is not: nor do I advocate such drastic
measures or blue laws as would drive away liberal-minded people from our midst, and advertise the city to the world as
narrow-minded and puritanical.

high cost of living will be re
