I shall be sorry if Mr. Wilson does not keep on the stump, and I feel that he owes it to himself and the American people to continue on the stump.

GA Oct. IS. The Au gusta street car strike will be ended and the cars will be operated again by former union and non-union employees of the company. beginning tomorrow morning. Today the railway company will fur nish the mediation board with the names of certain member* of the union Who went on a strike and who are charged with committing nets of vio lence against the company’s property and employees since the strike began. The charges will be investigated. None of these men will go back to work until the charges ate disposed of before an arbitration board If they are exoner ated the company must pay them for lost time The company concedes to the men shorter hours, two cents pm horn in oremte in pay and a recognition of the union, although it is specifically stated that the railway company will not be a '■closed shop'' The agreement pro vides. however, that union men must not be discriminated against Twenty Under Charges. It is expected that about twenty cat men will be formally charged with committing acts of violence and will not be reinstated until the arbitration board says so. The mediation board is acting today in the capacity of a grand jury and when ths oonipanv can show with reasonable certainty that the men are guilty of violence they will be sus pended and not go back on the cars to morrow with the other ear men. The majority of the officers and pom mitteemen of the union are suid to be under charges by the company Colo nel M. J. O'Leary left here last night for Savannah, leaving Major Abram Levy In command of 40 men who will be kept on duty for several days as a matter of extreme precaution.

Plans for a thorough reorganization of the city council and the board sys tem ate being drafted today by leading members of council as an outgrowth of the investigations of the special com mittee of ten appointed to make a rigid investigation of the city construction department. This committee, appointed two months ago as a result of The Geor gian's campaign for better streets, will take up its work again next Tuesday, according to the announcement of Chairman Charles W. Smith today. It was impossible to carry on the inves tigation during the campaign for the mayoralty and other city offices. Chairman Smith said the members i.f the committee were already aware of the causes for the poor condition of At lanta’s streets, and its work from now on would be. to provide a remedy. The trouble, he said, was lhe poor street improvement system both in the coun cil and in the construction department. He added that the leading members of council had made up their minds to provide better systems as soon as pos sible. Council Ready Two Months Ago for Reform. The Georgian, some months ago, pub lished news stories and pictures from day to day showing the terrible condi tion of Atlanta's streets. It went into the details of how the work was done, how the appropriations for street work were made and how the work was done. It graphically pictured the faults in the system. Council took the matter up and de clared itself ready to make drastic re forms. A number of charter amend ments were obtained from the legisla ture to give it the authority. The most important amendment was one giving council the power to thoroughly' reor ganize the construction department. The construction department was re organized to an extent. Instead of a chief of construction and four engi neers, council has provided that there shall be a chief of construction, whose chief duties will be that of consulting engineer: an assistant chief of con struction. to have charge of the de tailed work of the department: an en gineer in charge of the streets and an engineer in charge of sewers. While the chief of construction is to be elect ed by the people, the appointment of his assistants is to be approved by council. Chairman Smith said today that the special committee was now ready to go into a more thorough reorganization of the construction department. The most important change to be made, pos sible only through the charter amend ment obtained last summer, is to give council full authority over the depart ment. Completion To Be Rushed Under This Plan. He said the committee would adopt a plan for the order in which work shall bo taken up. When a street improvement is begun it is to be finished as rapidly as pos sible. Under the old system, there re cently were 27 pieces of Unfinished work in the city and 14 different squads of workmen scattered in all parts of town. More strict time limits are to be pre scribed for contractors who are doing work. This is the cause for the delays on West Fourteenth street. North Boulevard and St. Charles avenue. Tite city water and sewer depart ments and the public service corpora tions ate to be made to co-operate in a more businesslike way in street i im provements. Lack of this co-operation has caused the slow progress of the re grading to Peachtree street. Much time is lost in hauling stone fronr the rock quarry at the stockade to the various sections of the city. Hither quarries are to be opened in the different sections of the city or a con tract will be made with the street rail way company to haul the rock. Present System Called Cumbersome. Mr. Smith said that one fundamental trouble was that the city did not have sufficient revenue to keep Its street im provements up with its growth. He saiti either a plan to require the prop erty owners and the street railway com pany pay all the cost of the paving ex cept a tstreet crossings would have to be adopted or a bond issue would be necessary. He added, however, that much better street work could be done with the present revenue than the city now is receiving. ■We must get rid of that old way of pulling against each other in council,” he declared. “We must have co-operation between the councilman. the different city con struction departments and the public service corporations. "Nearly all the members of council agree that our council of thirty mem bers and our numerous boards are un wieldy. "I have talked the matter ovet with a number of them and I expect to see some sweeping reform* brought about in a mighty short time. "The people are tired of out old sys tem. They’ showed It in the la’t two primaries. We must wake up and do our duty . "I don’t expect any serious opposition to th. >!. ■' plan* that soon will be pro. posed." SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS A political pilgrim returning from Macon last night said that town sure was filled to overflowing with politi- r '< ® cians, neat ant! real, Wednesday night and all day Thursday, which w as “ Governor and Legislature" day at the state fair. He gave it as his opinion that two booms, if no more, were put squarely on their feet, to stay put— Burwell’s speaker ship boom and John Allen's pres idency of the sen ate boom. ’’ T here w ere many members of the last house of representatives on hand." said he. "and quite a few of tne new house. There also were numerous senators-elect in Macon's midst. “Claude Mefhvin. president of the Georgia Weekly Brets association, gives it as his opinion that Burwell has snatched the speakership plum and gone and Methvin is not only one of the best posted politicians in the state, but he is himself a tm tuber-elect of the house. He ought to know what he is talking about. "Burwell wa- in Macon mixing it with the boys, and lie is a good tnixet, too. He is very confident of winning; and certainly he is the only candidate jet mentioned who is at all active for the place. "John Alien is not making quite as active a canvass for the presidency of the senate as Burwell is making in his race, perhaps, but Allen's friends were on hand in Macon in einstein. "Randolph Anderson is opposing Al len —or Allen is opposing Anderson, a; one cares to express it —and that fight likely will be some fight. Anderson ha* been in tiie race longer than Allen, but of late Alien's boom lias grown won derfully. “The show-down between these two is to be quite interesting. And it is as yet nobody's cinch bet believe me!" Colonel A. P. Perham. Sr., the ven erable editor of The Waycross Herald, is an Atlanta visitor. Time was when Colonel Perham was a political power in his vicinity—and he still is when he gets the old-time move on. for that matter—but as a rule nowadays, he views politics "far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife,” and he takes life rather easilj. "Down in my immediate section, we generally quit talking politics along about this time of the year.” said Colo nel Perham today, "and all go fishing for the famous south Georgia red-bos omed bream —the prettiest fish that swims, bar none! "The red-bosomed bream is peculiar to wiregrass Georgia. One rarely is seer, north of Macon —one is not fre quently seen as far north as Macon even. “This delightful fish, which is as pleasing gustatoilally as it is to the eye—which is. as the slang slingers put it. some pleasing!—runs from one-half to one pound in weight. The latter is of course, the extreme weight, and he is fortunate indeed who catches a red bosom that size. Those weighing around from eight to ten ounces are plentiful, however. "The red-bosomed bream is a pisca torial aristocrat, and frequents no wa ters infested with turtles, carp or cat fish. "This plucky little fish would feel for ever disgraced to find itself in a creek or river in whi-h the scum of fishdom felt at home. "Because of its fastidiousness, the red-bosomed bream is very plentiful. I went out a few' days ago. and in about five hours I had more than one hundred on my string! "Do you blame me that I think little, and care less, of politics than of any thing else in the world nowadays?" Fortner Congressman John W. Mad dox, present judge of the Rome judicial circuit, again has found it necessary to deny a. report that he is about to r -sign from the bench and devote his entire time to the presidency of the State Mu. tual Life Insurance Company. Rumor once before had the judge re signing from his job and Rufe Hutch ens getting ready to take bis place, but there was nothing to it just as once more there is nothing to I'. "When I get ready to quit the bench.” said the judge, discussing the rumor recently with a party of friends, "T will give everybody ample and postive no tice, in order that whatever contest comes on for the place may be fair and in the open. "As the matter stands now. how ever, I am very well satisfied to let things stay put. if it ever develops that my duties as judge and president of the State Mutual conflict 1 will re sign one*or the other position prompt ly. “I'ntil further notice. 1 shall hold CASTOR IA For lufauts and Children.

He has talked with old inhabitan . who remember when it was the sim plest sort of process to keep the fami ly supplied with fresh meat in thv sectibn, because all one had to do wa* to go forth to the mountains and kill a deer or so, most any old time. "That former state of things set ni( > to thinking,” said Mr. Mercer todar "and I have determined to ask the Elks of Georgia to co-operate with me in purchasing a herd of nineteen fine elks that may be had from a nearbv point at a reasonable price, in order that we may try out an experiment I think well worth while. "The members of the various BPr, lodges would be interested, I believe in watching the fate of that herd, one* it. had been released to roam unmo lested of the hunter and the trapper, around and about the old north Geo - gia stamping grounds of the deer fam ily. "I believe ten years would see tha 1 herd develop into thousands of elks, for there is no climate or country more exactly suited to the elks’ necessities and desires than that of north Geor gia. "Already several members of t.ie Elks fraternity have assured me of their help in this little pet scheme of mine.” Former Speaker of the House John N. Holder has been writing most in terestingly of men and measures in the last legislature. In his home paper. The Jackson Re aid. he had this to say recently of tv.,, of his legislative associates: If Alexander's bill was met with defeat, he would say nothing, but prepare to come again, if Hall was defeated in the house on a proposition, lie would lecture some of those who voted against him. At times he would “cuss them out." Mr. Holder doubtles could tell a lot of interesting things of the inside do ings of legislators, if ho w ished to but the best bet Is that he will not tr . all he knows.
