Airs. Calbraith Rodgers, aviatrix now in Atlanta, who plans to teach girls to fly.
Many Maids Have Asked Avia
trix to Teach Them Art of
Flying Through Space.
Atlanta girls are besieging Mrs. Gal
braith Rodgers, who is planning to start
a school of aviation here, with requests
that they be taught to fly.
“I have never seen so many young
women ready and anxious to try their
hands’ on aeroplanes as right here,”
said Mrs. Rodgers today. “Since I an
nounced I was planning to open an
aviation school I have had many appli
cations and most of them have been
from girls.
“Some, of course, are simply prompt
ed by a desire to feel the thrill of an
air ride once and then are ready to
come back to earth, but most of them
are seriously desirous of becoming pro
fessional aviators.
“I know no reason why women should
not take to the air game,” she contin
ued. “They have proved as housewives
that the sex can attend to minor de
tails that a man will overlook and that
means success in aviation. Then they
are not as prone to take the desperate
chances that has resulted in death for
so many birdmen.
“Many women have already attained
remarkable success as flyers. And 1
would not be surprised to see some At
lanta girl famous in a few months as a
aviatrix.”

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY,
Republicans, Facing Defeat, Desert Taft
PARTY DEAD IN GEORGIA
Georgia Ifepublicans of four years ago
“laid down” on Taft in this year’s
presidential election. This is shown by
an analysis of the vote cast Tuesday’
and that of 1908.
Four years ago there were approxi
mately 133,000 votes cast in Georgia.
This year the number was, in round fig
ures, 120,000. This shows a slump of
13,000, when growth in population
would have warranted an increase of at
least 2,000.
The Democrats in Georgia last Tues
day polled approximately 93,000 for Wil
son. against 73.000 for Bryan in 1908.
This is a Democratic gain of 20,000.
It is probable that 10,000 of these were
among the 17,000 who voted for Wat
son on the Populist ticket four years
ago. The Democrats accordingly brought
out enough of the stay-at-bome voters
of past years and won back enough of
the Democrats who before voted for
Taft to increase their vote 10,000, thus
producing the 20,000 gain. There is no
doubt that several thousand who had
failed to in 1908 were drawn to
the polls' last Tuesday’ by the strenu-
MAN OF 72 FOUND
SUBMERGED IN MUD
ST. LOUIS, Nov. B.—John J. Conroy,
72 years old, who disappeared from his
home, was found standing in mud and
water to his neck, 20 feet from the bank

Patrolman Sam Stewart, of the North

the old man stuck in the mud, unable to
move.

ous efforts of the party’ leaders in the
state to roll up a big party vote for
Wilson.
Roosevelt polled approximately’ 21,-
000 votes in Georgia on Tuesday. When
Watson bolted to him he carried at
least a third of this number—his re
maining 7,000 of four years ago. The
other 14,000 were Taft Republicans and
Democrats in 1908.
The Socialists and Prohibitionists
polled about 1,000 votes on Tuesday.
Taft, four years ago, received in
round numbers 42,000 votes in this
state. This year he went but little
better than 5,000—a loss of 37,000.
Roosevelt got 14,000 of that 37,000. Wil
son got probably’ 3,000. There Is left
20,000 unaccounted for. These 20,000
are the ones who “laid down” on the
Republican party when defeat seemed
certain and the end of Republican pat
ronage apparent.
It is evident that the Republican par
ty in Georgia—Republican largely "for
revenue only”-—has gone to smash, and
It seems that the negro has been suc
cessfully eliminated from the politics of
this state.

Directors Would Make It Nec

The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
will recommend to council that all per
sons desiring to purchase a revolver
must first get a permit from Chief of

board of directors, held yesterday aft
ernoon.
The directors almost unanimously
adopted the measure passed by the
committee on public safety, and the
resolution from the chamber will be
presented to the city council at their
next meeting. If the mmsure Is passed
by council, no illiterate negro or vicious
white man “will be allowed to purchase
a pistol, and the reign of the “gun
tbter" in Atlanta will be over.
A "permanent exposition" of Atlanta
made goods was also discussed by the
directors, and it was decided to ap
point a small committee of directors
and manufacturers to consider the best
mode of advancing the project to a suc
cessful completion.
The plans of the Chamber of Com

Atlanta. Financiers Have Pasture Pool Fever
GOLF BUG GETS BANKERS
Atlanta bankers have the golf fever
this season. It is worse, far worse,
than the notorius bicycle bug which
stung them fifteen years ago. and the
epidemic has nearly as many victims in
the financial world as the well known
motor mania. The links at East Lake
look like a coupon clippers convention
these snappy afternoons, and the only'
men left indoors after 2 o’clock are the
third assistant bookkeepers and the
janitors. Everybody else is pounding
the pill about the pasture.
Ernest Woodruff, head of the Trust
Company of Georgia, and a number of
other things, sprang a great surprise
in financial circles by joining the golf
ing department of the Atlanta Athletic
club at East Lake. The announcement
is surprising, because for many years
Mr. Woodruff has lent himself assidu
ously to business pursuits, to the utter
exclusion of athletics, politics and simi
lar frivolous pastimes. Time and time
again friends of the well known banker
and capitalist have suggested that he
go in for outdoor life and some light
form of sport. Mr. Woodruff is no
pigmy. On the contrary, he Is more
nearly in the class of the giant—not
very’ Jtall, but thick set. muscular and
determined as you please. But he has
persistently refused, and has gone on
evolving business schemes, putting
things under the brand of the dollar
mark.
Woodruff Blames Friends.
Imagine the consternation of his busi
ness associates, therefore, when he
came in the other afternoon with a
blazing Scotch plaid golf cap and some
other fancy trimmings known best to
followers of the great national business
man’s game! A ripple of excitement
went through lhe whole banking pro
fession. and Mr. Woodruff is busy to
day explaining that it wasn’t his fault
by a great deal.
“You see," declared Mr. Woodruff to
an intimate, "Frank Hawkins and Jim
Nunnally got me Into this, and the fas
cination is keeping me in. Why, It’s
really’ a great game, and maybe I’ve
missed something all these years. I
haven’t yet given up business, but I’m
getting along fine and in a few more
days will be able to show the boys a
few fancy strokes. My percentage in
golf sticks and other accessories is 1.000
so far, and my average in i>uts is grow

KILLED POSSUM DOG
DALTON. GA., Nov. B.—Alleging negli

Western and Atlantic road as the cause
of his " ’possum and squirrel dog’ being
killed by a train on the road, F. C. Clem
ent, of Rocky Face, has brought suit
against the road for $lO damages. In or

plaintiff concludes his petition with the
following:
“Said dog was the mother of a family

The suit filed in Justice court here is

beginning to marvel. Yes, slree, golf is
a great game.'’
That is Mr. Woodruff’s alibi. The
story of a person who saw him play Is
not exactly in accord with it, since this
individual swore by the Great Book
that Mr. Woodruff required 700 strokes
to complete the course, and that in one
game, and at one stage of it he was so
far behind that he hasn't finished yet.
Ever'body’s Doin’ Something.
In justification of his action in re-'-!
reiving the sacred rites of the golf
club, Mr. Woodruff dwells on the recent
initiation of his • faithful coadjutors,
Hawkins and Nunnally, the former of
whom went in a year ago, more or less,
and the latter much more recently. Not
only that, but he points out that of
the younger contingent, John B. Wheat,
secretary and treasurer of the Trust
Company; H. B. Kennedy, assistant
cashier of the Fulton National; Henry
W. Davis, cashier of the Lowry Nation
al, and J. D. Leitner, assistant cashier'
of the Atlanta National, are enthusias

OF SCENES FAMILIAR
TO SCOTT READERS
Lovers of Sir Walter Scott are having
a treat this week in the exhibit at Car
negie llbray, which shows thirty-nine
views illustrating localities familiar to
readers of Scott
The illustrations are from an edition
de luxe of Scott's works, which has been
put out by a well known publishing house.
Bef'»re publishing the edition, represen
tatives were sent to the scenes of the
novels, to Investigate first hand all the
localities referred to by the author. Pho
tographs were obtained to represent the
scenes very much as Scott saw them.
The natural scenery and the ruins of an
cient castles and abbeys were found to
correspond closely with Scott's descrip
tion of them.
The scenes cover nearly every county
of Scotland.
