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.

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 tary of a Wn-hiiigiuii \a- • rail ' during tie mo-ting h grante.i • uni-j p|rt< p’llll - ion to IlS< eV rtijiliu tl , , eesurj foi tin comfort of the boys. 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.

IEXHIBITSOFGORN TONUMBER3.OOO 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.

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. FAIR HEADQUARTERS MOVED.
