City eouncilmen, at least a large ma

INEFFICIENCY IS
CHSHGEDiNSHIT
i Unbusiness-Like Methods of
City Set Forth in Injunction
Petition.
Continued From Page One.
d< r d almost impossible. The city was
still far behind with its work.
Several days after the street car com.
pane completed its work as far as it
could go, the contracting company be
gan operations. A steam roller was
carried out, the eastern strip was plaw
ed up, a small force put to work and
then the street abandoned for a time.
To all appearances the street had been
deserted by the contractors.
Street a Menace to
Persons and Property.
The street was left in almost an im
passable condition, recites the 'petition.
A wagon can traverse it only with diffi
culty ami can not turn. There are great
holes, which are dangerous, and the
material has been plied in great heaps
upon the sidewalks. Teams can not
drive to the curb. Deliveries of gro
ceries, ice and other necessities are
greatly retarded. The street is a menace
to person and property.
The citizens of North Boulevard ac
cepted the situation in silence for sev
eral mouths, but as the limit for Its
completion aproached and there was no
; attempt made to even start the work,
they began to complain. A committee
was appointed to wait upon the city,
the street ear company and the con
tractor. A promise was extended by
the city and the contractor that the
work would be taken up in a few days
and pushed to completion.
The contractor, H. N, Nichols, was
easy ami entirely indifferent in his at
titude, recites the petition. He was
asked if the company was not under
bond to complete the street within five
months, and he replied that the bond
was “no good,” and the city did not
enforce its bonds, anyhow.
City Doesn’t eKep
Contractors to Terms.
The petitioners say the street can not
possibly he completed within the time
limit. It is evident that it will not be
finished this winter. They insist that
the past experience of the city in the
management of its constructive work
fully justified the statement of the con
tractor that his bond would not be en
forced.
"It has been for the past ten or fif
teen years almost the unbroken policy
of the city of Atlanta not to insist upon
the terms of its contracts being com
plied with, either with reference to ma
terial, completion within the stipulated
period of time or the enforcement of
any bond for the faittifnl performance
of the work. Scarcely any public work,
if any at all, within the past ten years
has been completed in the manner and
wav and time contracted for. Many of
the bonds taken are pure formalities,
and the bonds are not of sufficient
value to cause them to be kept. Sev
eral of the bonds have been lost by the
city, the sureties not notified. In com
pliance with the bond, of the default,”
says the petition.
The petitioners are J. K. Raley, W.
A. Parker. C. L. Pettigrew. J. A. Car
roll. J. C. Baldwin. R. J. Scott, John
Beikle, A C. Bruce, Charles T. Hop

CENTRAL ASKS MACON TO
WAIT A WHIL£FOR DEPOT
MACON, GA.. Oct. B.—The Central of
Georgia railroad, through Vice Pres
ident W A. Winburn, has asked for
more time from the Macon citizens who
are agitating the building of new pas
senger stations here. In a letter to A.
J. Long, chairman of the depot com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce, it
is stated by Mr. Winburn that Macon
is certainly going to get a new depot,
but he asks that his railroad be allowed
ample time in which to complete delib
erations over the plans.
Notwithstanding, citizens who have
signed the petition to the railroad com
mission will press their complaint.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS

Judge Andrew Calhoun, of the crim

persuasion. The
Judge never again
will go to the gov

that gentleman
for a pardon with
out knowing ex
actly and precise

judge—stands.

and who could not stay there unless she
were subjected to humiliation of a
character that moved “Uncle Andy’s”
heart powerfully, and so forth and so
on.
Now, the governor has, despite a
sometimes more or less austere de
meanor. a heart that'may be reached
Instantly, if one proceed along the right
road—and Judge Calhoun is a reputed
pastmaster at selecting the right road
generally.
So, by and by, the judge got his par
don for the woman, and left the execu
tive presence feeling fine and conscious
of having performed a good deed.
He went to the sheriff in person, de
livered to him the pardon, and asked
the sheriff, as a particular favor, to
hasten to the gang and have the woman
released.
This the sheriff, being always glad of
an opportunity to accommodate his
honor, did—and in les than eight hours
the woman again in the clutches
of the law for anotner offense!
The judge Isn’t going to the gox-ernor
any more In behalf of that woman—
and if he did, the governor doubtless
wouldn't be at home!
The court of appeals has a Fite
on its hands, at last, as 467,970 peo
ple already have remarked!
One of the things moving former
Representative Seaborn Wright, prohi
bition leader in Georgia, to proceed vig
orously against the locker clubs of
Rome is said to have been the outside
criticism to which he, as a lecturer
and champion of prohibition, was sub
jected because of the presence of locker
clubs in his home town.
Constantly, so the story goes, Mr.
Wright was twitted here and there, in
pleading for prohibition, and declaring
that prohibition laws could be enforced,
with the assertion that locker clubs
flourished in his own home town—and
if he couldn't suppress them there, why
should he expect people to suppress
them elsewhere.
Os course, the Floyd county states
man is opposed to locker clubs, in any
shape or form, and more than once has
deplored the fact that the state licenses
them, but he has not heretofore seem
ingly inclined to make eternal warfare
against them, in certain circumstances
—particularly where he could be shown
that they were making a real effort to
keep within the law.
Gradually, however, the number of
clubs in Rome has increased, until late
ly Mr. Wright looked about him and

George C. Glenn, of Whitfield coun
ty, is an Atlanta visitor today.
Asked how it happened that Whit
field elected an independent candidate
fo£ sheriff the other day, instead of
the regular Democratic nominee. Glenn
said he couldn't explain it very well,
save by saying that the independent
got more votes than the other fellow.
"You know Whitfield is a curious
county in some things—it goes all sorts
of ways poltically now and then. When
it slips its trolley, I never try to ex
plain it. It’s a grand old county, nev
ertheless!” said the Dalton man,
"Whitfield noted with pleasure that
its native son, Paul Tramell, was the
only unopposed candidate for a, state
house office in the late election. To
be sure, the opposition to the others
was merely formal, for the Socialists
never expected, really, to elect a man.
Still, it was something of a compliment
to Whitfield’s favorite son that he was
not opposed, even by one vote. His
election to succeed himself was unani
mous, you might say.”
Sheriff Shade Hawes, of McDuffie,
who isn’t a sheriff at all, of course, as
everybody who is anybody politically
in Georgia knows, caine into Atlanta
today to look things over.
The sheriff—that’s what everybody
calls him—had to go many ways about
to get from his home in Thompson to
the office of the Georgia prison commis
sion in the state capitol. whither he was
drifting, but he finally made it.
The Georgia railroad strike has
greatly inconvenienced Thomson, as
no other railroad runs that way, and
it is a long, rough and rugged journey
to get from there to somewhere else,
no matter which direction one be go
ing.
Sheriff Hawes has the reputation - of
being the very best politician in his
neck of the woods, bar none. He is
not what one would calls a gum-shoe
manipulator, but he is some manipu
lator, nevertheless.
He is now an attache of the prison
commission, and he keeps a line on
things political—but not with any sin
ister end in view. He is very fond of
his friends, and his friends are very
fond of him.
This trip to Atlanta, the sheriff pub
licly is boosting Thomson, and says he
has no other particular business in the
world.
“Thomson has more automobiles than
any other town of its size in the state,”
said Hawes to a group of admiring ac
quaintances in the Kimball house lobby
today. "I counted 46 there the other
day,”
"Forty-six," said a Doubting Thomas
in the audience, “why there isn’t room
in Thomson for 46 automobiles!"
"Well, there are more than 46, as a
matter of fact.” went on the sheriff,
"for I couldn’t count them all!”
“Pshaw! If Tom Watson hadn’t put
Thomson on the map, nobody would
know whether it was in Georgia or
Texas,” again butter in Doubting
Thomas.
With that unkind remark, the sheriff
let up on the immediate boosting of
Thomson!

by Cherokee Jurist.
Judge Augustus W. Fite, of the Cher

before the Georgia court of appeals, t s

The sheriff of the court of appeals, P

shortly after 3 o’clock.
The Cherokee ji 'ge is summoned to
appear before the urt of appeals Sat

be punished for contempt. The maxi
mum penalty that the court of appeals
may inflict, If the judge Is found to be
in contempt, is a fine of SSOO and ten
days’ imprisonment.
The differences between Judge Fite
and the court of appeals are not alto
gether new. The Cherokee magistrate
has been outspoken in his criticisms of
the higher court, time and again.
Scores High Court.
Recently, however, the court of ap
peals reversed Judge Fite for the sec
ond time in a felony case from Gordon
county, and the appeals court judge

guage to which the Cherokee judge took
violent exception.
Judge Fite issued a newspaper card
in which he severely criticised the
higher court, directly charging that its
reversal of his judgment in the Gordon
county case was the precipitating cause
of a recent race riot near Plainville, in
which several negroes were killed
Immediately upon the publication of
Judge Fite’s bitter card, the court of
appeals decided to cite the judge for
contempt, because of its publication
