Business Men and Industrial

He was sent out for interviews with

t “e Democratic victory. He didn’t get
them.
<,, rr but I haven’t time now, said
■ erst merchant he saw. "I'm just
rushing ■> bunch of buyers to the New
fork market for the biggest lot of or
jers my house has ever placed. Then
~v e got to hurry down to the bank and
arrange for a big loan for enough to
discount my bills, and then I’ve a cus
,onier to see about a large-sized prop
„..'ition. I really haven’t had time to
bother about politics.
That’s the way it went all up and
, .11, the street. Everybody was glad
? ., n ..id won. but gladder still that
p election was over and everybody
as back at business. If any of them
anticipated the country was bound for
tii> bow-wows, they didn’t show it.
Election Had No Effect.
T: lust forecast of big business
and general prosperity I have seen is
; - ar ity of political talk for the past
months,” said Forrest Adair.
y, ; it wasn’t apathy. The big vote
that. It was just that the peo
t.ivi outgrown the idea that a
presidential year means a general tear
ing of business. Why, the fact that
. ;i ; s ..lection year didn't cause any
at all. The people thought
things over, made up their minds and
vi.'.-n the time came, but they
(iiiin't let it interfere with business.”
i tne of the leading cotton mill owners
- ■ for his opinion of the es-
■ of Wilson’s election.
"The output of our mill for 1913 is
s most completely sold in advance,” lie
replied. "It was sold before anybody
knew who would be elected, and the
buyers figured that prices were going
ip no matter who won out. You cun
ask all the other mill men and they'll
you the same thing. We shall hard
be in position to fill any new orders
for many, many months. It looks like
a big year all round.”
Bradstreet’s Sees Great Year.
“Money won’t be extra, plentiful
I among Georgia planters,” said a cotton
I buyer. “Cotton has reached sls a bale
t more than last year at this- time, and
that’s good for those who have it, but
there was hardly more than half a crop,
of course, that’s one reason the price
is good. But still I look for a good
year all over the state.”
•I. E. <’. Pedder, division superin
tendent of the Bradstreet company,
keeps in touch with business condi
tion all over the South. In sizing up
th* k -neral situation, he said:
“iVo find our manufacturers loaded
nr. n with orders, and some, notably
n iron and cotton lines, have enough
>' sold ahead to keep them going
months to come. In wholesale and
ebb-ng ines we rind practically the
condition—liberal orders and more

tile past three years there has

bm- repression is that now that the
■'.ami has arrived, they are making
'□oh libera! orders that manufacturers,

them.

ON PISTOL 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 revolver
must first get a permit from Chief oi
Police J. L. Beavers. This vas decided
at the regular monthly meeting of the
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 1 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 t’hambcf of Com

between $160,000 and $2011,000. and to

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
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-home voters
of past yea,rs 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
will be modeled after those shown at
the "manufacturers exposition" held at
the Auditorium-Armory several months
ago.
In order to get the use of the cots
and blankets used by the soldiers of
the Fifth regiment for the 1.000 corn
club boys i-xperled in Atlanta, the
chamber requested Uirti’inui Brown to
telegraph the sei-ret;iry »f war and ask
that the b<» s migot use the cots and
blanket- A teb’grum ft.mi the seere- I

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 87.000. |
Roosevelt got 14.000 of that 37.000. Wil- i
son got probably 3.000. " There is left I
20,000 unaccounted for. These 20,0001
are the ones who “laid down" on the!
Republican party v. hen defeat seemed;
certain and the end of Republican pat-I
ronage apparent.
It Is evident that the Republican par- i
ty in Georgia—Republican largely “for
revenue only”—ha.s gone to smash, and
it seems that the negro has been suc
cessfully eliminated from the politics of
this state.

Girls Canning Clubs Will Have
Displays in Addition at the
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-
I its will be placed in the state capitol
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.
Th. s»- figures already are known. It is
estimated that the Atlanta district will
have 500, the Sav;.<mah 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 he would send here 500
exhibits from that section. Mr. Rice
says he lias some very strong exhibits,
with a high average, the maximum for
the district being 161. S 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
boys from that district to Atlanta. De
cember 4 is boys corn club day in Au
gusta, tlie same day on which the
chamber of Commerce will tender a
dinner to the corn club boys here.
Dr. Wlllieni 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
| lowing counties is estimated by Dr.
Bradford as follows: Haralson, 25;
Paulding. 30; 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 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.
Before publishing the edition, represen
• latives were sent to the scenes of the
I 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.

FORT 'lfflr
REVIEW THRILLER
I
! Governor and Staff, Witness-
i ing Turn-Out of Troops, See
Soldier Chase Horse.
Orderly John Hoffman, of Company
l>. 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 field 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
corral.
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 wafi 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 Joe
Brown Connally, Lieutenant Asa G.
Candler, Adjutant Genera] W. G. Obear,
Lieutenant Colonel Steve R. Johnston
and Major Jesse G. Perry, the govern
or’s secretary.
