THE WEATHER Forecast for Atlanta and Georgia: Fair today and tomorrow. VOL. XL NO. 73. KEEP SUHDAV H.SLUI INGLIJB FIGHT 1 < Efforts Are Centered on Pro hibiting Serving of Drinks on Sabbath. WOODWARD’S ATTITUDE IS ANXIOUSLY AWAITED His Election Commonly Be lieved to Mean People Want More Liberal Regulations. lathers of the locker club reform movement, encouraged by the success they have already won, declared today that they would center their efforts on the establishment of a permanent dry Sunday in Atlanta. With the license of every club, in cluding the powerful Capital City, held up by the veto of Acting Mayor Candler snd the subsequent action of council, a andful of organizations seem certain of losing their permits, but the real fight will be waged about the question nt a closed Sunday. Atlanta was dry vesterday. \lderman John S. Candler, who, as icting mayor, vetoed the permits of all ocher clubs on the grounds that all u re illegal, has since declared that the. ■nost important point in the enforce or’nt of the locker club law was to stop he erving of drinks on Sunday. He aid such a system made a club crimi nal ns a tippling house. Chambers’ Law Goes to Committee. ■ ’ouncilman Aldine Chambers has had referred to the police committee of council an ordinance prohibiting the •ah- of drinks on Sunday in all clubs. It has developed that the upshot of the whole locker club probe now in progress will be a fight to stop the serv ing of drinks on Sunday. A number of Tube will be closed, of course, as was originally Intended But the most seri ous probable effect on the real social clubs will be the banning of Sunday drinks. The law is already reasonably clear on the subject, but council has been si lent. Council may or may not decide to much noise in making the decision, noise in making the decision. Aiderman Candler said he had re ceived many letters from citizens liv ing in nearby towns congratulating Mm on his veto of locker club permits end urging him to stop the sale of drinks in Atlanta on Sunday Come to Atlanta Sunday to Drink. He said that these citizens com plained that their young men came to Atlanta to spend Sunday and drink. Aiderman Candler said he felt that At lanta owed it to her smaller neighbors to stop the dispensing of intoxicating drinks on Sunday. However, the nomination of James G. Woodward for mayor was considered a plea from the voters for a more liberal town. There is argument that a real locker club has as much right to serve drinks on Sunday as on any other day. Also, it is pointed out, there are many citizens in Atlanta whose religious doc trine does not designate Sunday as the •acred day of the week. Council is divided on the subject by two very positive opinions. The police committee has not seen fit to recommend any such action so far. p airman W. G. Humphrey was dls- P’oased by the veto of his committees report by Acting Mayor Candler. Tt is probable that he police committee will stand pat on its report and allow the "dry" Sunday fight to develop in coun cil. dispensary probe TO BE RESUMED BY S. C. LEGISLATORS SPARTANBURG.

A Ser vian army ..f 50,000 men, under King Peter of Servia, today began moving upon Salonika from Uskub, which was taken by the allies Saturday. At the same time a Greek army, un der King George of G-’v* is marching northeastward from Elassona toward Salonika. Tue Greeks and Servians will co-operate in an attack upon Sa lonika from two sides. Although tic Servian* have ue long er distance to travel, they are enabled to use a brancii of the Orient railway which lies between Salonika end Us kub. The. Greeks have the shorter dis tance, but they must cross a mountain range through a narrow defile, which will make their progress* slow. Th£ general plan of operations in western Turkey includes an attack upon Mona stir after the fall of Scutari. This city, it is believed, will fall prey to an allied army of Montenegrins. Servians and Christian tribesmen. End of War Is Seen by Allies. The march upon Salonika is the most important move in the western cam paign. It is believed here that both Salonika and Adrianople are doomed, and that with t eir fall the war will end. Dispatches from the front state that tile Greek army is meeting with but slight resistance. It is keeping close to the Gulf of Salonika ami the fertile farming country through which its passing provides the soldiers with plenty of provisions. At Salonika the first naval engage ment of tlie war will be fought, should the Greek government order its fleet there to co-operate with the land forces in a genera! attack. The Turks are planting mines in Salonika harbor and strengthening the harbor fortresses to guard against an attack from tin water side. A Turkish flotilla lias also beei. or dered there at full speed frpin C'hank Kalossi. a port at the western end of the Dardanelles. Storm Halts Move On Adrianople VIENNA, Oct. 28. —A heavy ano pro longed rainstorm, accompanied by cold weather, put a check on the Bulgarian campaign around Adrianople today. Desultory fighting was in progress at a number of points, and the Bulgarian artillery continued to shell the city of Adrianople. Fires in the southwestern part of the city, which were started by the Bulga rian shells and which have waged for over 60 hours, have been distinguished by the rain. The Turkish forces are suffering much more acutely than the Bulgarians from the weather conditions. Coining form a northern mountainous country, the Bulgarians are inured to the cold, wet autumn of the Balkans, but *the Turkish soldiers, save those who have been stationed for a long period in Eu ropean Turkey, are suffering acutely. Tlie Bulgarian aviation corps al Hav ades, which was taken from the Turks Saturday, assembled an aeroplane to day and made a flight southward through the Tunja river valley, flying almost directly over the Turkish forts at Kavaiik and on the eastern hank of the river. The Turks tried to train a cannon on the aeroplane, but did not succeed in injuring it. S. CAROLINA CITY WIPES OUT RED LIGHT DISTRICT SUMTER. S.

The election of Wilson and Marshall to the presidency and vice presidency of the United I States on November 5 has long been conceded by affiliations. Just how sweeping the victory of Hi Democratic candidates may be and exactly the relative strength of President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt before the people are the only two questions that have furnished food for political argu ment . Tlie.-e questions The Georgian ami as Oli- imw/papers have rnfleavoreil throvgh a conscientious search of po jlitical conditions throughout the forty-' eight states, to determine. In this ef fort tin best political minds of ui. parties in all states have been con sulted. T e consensus of opinion i? that Governor Wilson and Governor Marshall will be swept into office by the largest majority in tlie electoral college any men have received since the I'ivil war.
