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 $200.11'10. and to keep all kind'- of manufactured Atlanta products there eon-tai ly It is said that the “expositlop build tig" will be connected vlth the net c ambei of Co imiet ■<■ building t • but it ill b> fout stories in heigtlt Tin ■■.villblts THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 8. 1912. Republicans, Facing Defeat, Desert Taft PARTY DEAD IN GEORGIA Georgia Republicans of four years ago “laid down” on Taft in this year’s presidential election. This is shown by an analysis of the vote cast Tuesday and that of 1908. Four years ago there were approxi mately 133,000 votes cast in Georgia. This year the number was, in round fig ures, 120.000. This shows a slump of 13.000. when growth in population would have warranted an Increase of at The Democrats in Georgia last Tues day polled approximately 93.000 for Wil son. against 73.000 for Bryan in 190$ 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.

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.

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 and Major Jesse G. Perry, the govern or’s secretary. FAIR HEADQUARTERS MOVED. COLUMBUS, GA.. Nov.
