CHAMBER
ON PISTDL TOTER
Directors Would Make It Nec
essary to Get Police Permit
to Carry Gun.
The Atlanta. Chamber of Commerce
will recommend to council that all per
sons desiring to purchase a revolvei
must first get a permit from Chief of
Police J. 1.. Beavers. This was decided I
at the regular monthly meeting of the I
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 measure is passed
by council, no Illiterate negro or vicious
white man will be allowed to purchase
a pistol, and the reign of the “gun
toter" 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 ■ suc
cessful completion
The plans of the Chamber of Com
merce are to build a structure costing
between $16(1,000 and $200.11'10. and to
keep all kind'- of manufactured Atlanta
products there eon-tai ly It is said

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 8. 1912.
Republicans, Facing Defeat, Desert Taft
PARTY DEAD IN GEORGIA
Georgia Republicans 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
The Democrats in Georgia last Tues
day polled approximately 93.000 for Wil
son. against 73.000 for Bryan in 190$
I 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 vote In 1908 were drawn to
the polls last Tuesday by the strenu-
wlll be modeled after those shown at
the “manufacturers exposition” held at
the Auditorium-Armory several months
ago.
Tn order to get the use oi the < ois
and blankets used by the soldiers of
th< Fifth regiment for the 1.000 corn
club boys expected In Atlanta, the
chamber requested Govt nor Brown to
telegraph the ei-rrtar.v of war and ask
that the boys might mo the ots anti
blanket- t t'-hgi.im from tin m-.-n
tary of v. > at Washington v rem;
during I'm im'linr. If .•raute.i com-'

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. I
Taft, four years ago, received in 1
round numbers 42.000 votes in this;
state. This year he went but little 1
better than 3.000—a loss of 37,000.1
Roosevelt got 14.000 <>f that 37.000. Wil- ]
son got probably 3.000. There is left I
20,000 unaccounted for. There 30,000 i
are the ones who "laid down" on the[
Republican pariy when defeat seemed j
certain and the end of Republican pat • i
tonage 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.

EXHiB'TS OF CORN
TDNUMBER3.OOO
Girls Canning Clubs Will Have
Displays in Addition at the i
Maize Show.
With reports coming in to the Cham
ber of Commerce from all of the Geor
gia corn club districts, it was estimated
today that about 3.000 individual exhlb
; its be placed in the state capital
for the Georgia Corn show, December
3 to 6, inclusive. This will be more
than double the number of last year.
The southwestern district has prom
ised 700 exhibits. Most of these are on
display at the Tifton fair now. There
will be 500 from the Augusta district
and 427 from the northwestern district.
These figures already are known. It is
estimated that the Atlanta district will
have 500, the Savannah district 300 and
the Columbus district 300. This makes
a total of 2,727, and does not take into
account at all the exhibits of the girls
canning clubs, which will be an ex
tensive and important feature of the
show.
G. E. Rice, agent for the corn clubs
in the Augusta district, has written
positively that lie would send here 500
exhibits from that section. Mr. Rice
says hf- has some very strong exhibits,
with a high average, the maximum for '
the district being 161.8 bushels raised at
a cost of sixteen cents per bushel. This '
is a pretty good record and there will
be very few to surpass it in the entire '
state.
Augusta Boys Can't Come.
Mr. Rice expresses deep regret that
the dates for the Augusta Corn festival. '
which were fixed in advance of those of'
the Georgia Corn show, should conflict,
because, he says, he will be unable on
this account to bring the corn club
buys from that district to Atlanta. De- '
eember 4 is boys corn club day In Au- 1
gusta, the same day on which the
Chamber of Commerce will tender a
dinner to the corn club boys here.
Dr. William Bradford, of Cedartown,
corn club agent in the northwestern
district, has written a letter promising
definitely 427 exhibits from his district.
The number of exhibits from those
counties where local contests have al- '
ready been held Will be as follows:
Bartow county, 50: Chattooga, 50; '
Whitfield, 40: Gordon, 40; Polk. 30;
Walker, 15: Dade. 6; Catoosa, 6.
The number of exhibits from the fol-
I lowing counties is estimated by Dr.
I Bradford as follows: Haralson, 25;
I Paulding. 3u; Floyd. 30; Murray, 10;
Gilmer, 20; Pickens. 50; Cherokee, 25.
With averages like these maintained
by the other counties of the state, the
total is bound to go somewhere around
3,000, in addition to the Girls Canning
club exhibits.
PHOTOS AT LIBRARY
OF SCENES FAMILIAR
TO SCOTT READERS
Lovers of Sir Walter Scott are having
a treat this week tn the exhibit at Car
negie libray, which shows thirty-nine I
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,
i Before publishing the edition, represen
j tatives were sent to the scenes of the
i novels, to Investigate first hand all the
j localities referred to by the author. Pho
l tographs were obtained to represent the
j scenes very much as Scott saw them.
I The natural scenery and the ruins of an
cient castles and abbeys wore found to
correspond closely with Scott’s descrip
tion of them.
The scenes cover nearly every county
of Scotland.

Soldier Chase Horse.
Orderly John Hoffman, of Company
D. Seventeenth Infantry. Fort McPher
son, is receiving congratulations from
his army comrades on the capture of
an officer’s horse which dashed away
yesterday on the parade grounds at the
fort following Governor Brown’s re
view of the infantrymen.
A steed tethered at the end of the
grounds just opposite the far end of the
officers’ quarters broke his bridle and
raced toward the corral several hun
dred yards to the south. Another horse
which an officer had just dismounted
and turned over to Orderly John Hoff
man, of Company D, to lead away,
tore the lines from the orderly’s hands
and went down the Held after the other.
Then Hoffman dug his spurs into his
own mount and went after the second
speeding animal. Hoffman hails from
Indiana, where he learned to ride, and
he is an excellent horseman. With
every leap he gained on the steed and
came up with it at the corner of Com
pany B’s quarters. The onlookers
gasped as horses and rider grazed an
oak tree that stood in the path. Back
of the men’s quarters Orderly Hoffman
nabbed the horse and turned it into the
corrah
Governor Brown and his staff re
viewed the troops and expressed satis
faction to Major Edward N. Jones, the
commander, on the showing made. The
line included the companies, leading a
machine gun platoon, mounted gun de
tachment, etc.
Governor Brown was given the gov
ernor’s salute of seventeen guns and he
and his staff and his son, Joseph M.
Brown. Jr., later were entertained at
tea by Major Jones. Lieutenant E. N
Burdett, U. S. A., was governor’s aid
for the occasion, and the governor’s
staff Included Colonel F. J. Paxon, chief
of staff: Lieutenant Colonel Joseph
Van Holt Nash, Lieutenant Colonel Jos
Brown Connally, Lieutenant Asa G.
Candler, Adjutant General W. G. Obear,
Lieutenant Colonel Steve R. Johnston
