With the needs for be’ter streets, im provement of parks, police sub-stations and an increased capacity of virtually .‘very one of the city’s institutions pressing. Comptroller J. H. Goldsmith has Issued a statement showing At lanta's borrowing capacity to be $5,- 183,800. This borrowing capacity gives the city the ability to solve its many per plexing problems, and dispels the argu ment of a lack of funds. City officials, as well as leading citizens, frankly say municipal improvements are far behind the developments from private effort. | A conservative estimate of the value of the city’s waterworks system is $lO,- 000,000. The city’s total borrowing ca pacity is $10,780,000. Thus one divi dend-paying asset of the city offsets the total possible debt. Here is the detailed statement of Comptroller Goldsmith, based on 7 per cent of the valuation of real and per sonal property. November, 1912. which is $154,000,000: Present bonded debt $6,740,500 Present floating debt 45,200 Total debt $6,785,700 Less sinking fund 1,189,500 Net debt $ 5,596.200 Total borrowing capacity..., 10,780.000 Less net debt 5,596,200 j Present borrowing capacity.. $ 5,183,800 INTRUDER ATTACKS INMATE OF WORKING GIRLS' HOME MACON, GA., Nov. 27.—An unknown white man invaded the dormitory of Heimath hall, a working girls institu tion on Walnut street, after midnight today, and attacked one of the young , women. She awoke to find the man In her room. She cried for help, when he Jerked covers from her bed and tied . her fast.

I Make Your Stomach Cheerfully Do Its Work—Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets Digest Your Food and Assist the Stomach. People who complain they are worn to a frazzle are nearly always dyspep tic and are recommended to use Stu art’s Dyspepsia Tablets. The stomach gets lazy, food ferments and sours, gas belches up, there are symptoms of bloating, the blood becomes thick and sluggish, the liver is blamed, the head is heavy, the mind is blank and the dining room is a chamber of horrors. One of the greatest evils of our mod ern life is the quick lunch. To this evil, as much or more, than any other, may be traced the preponderance of the stomach troubles of our times. In stead of taking time to thoroughly mas ticate the food before swallowing It, the average person rushes through the meal, bolting the food, deglutition tak ing place while it is only partially mix ed with saliva, and only half masti cated. thus leaving the stomach to do the work the teeth should have done. Stuart’s Ityspepsla Tablets contain digestive elements, a single grain being capable of digesting 3.000 grains of food, including meats, eggs, grain, veg etables. starches and mineral matters. They prepare every particle of food by thorough digestion for ready absorp tion and assimilation by the lacteal glands, which pass it into the blood, whence it is conducted to ail parts of the system, rebuilding and revitaliz ing it. Every druggist has Stuart’s Dyspep sia Tablets in stock arid sells them at (0 cents a box. (Advt.)

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS The next election to take place in Georgia involves mote offices than all the other offices of the state combined and yet it attracts Asia ft as '.TM biennially less general attentior than any other election. On S at u r d a y. December 7, th< people of Georgia will choose at the ballot box 1,747 justices of the peace ami 1,747 bailiffs. These 3,494 of ficers are men of mark in their va ious neighbor hoods, but most of their neighbor hoods are so far away back that nobody ever hears much of them in th< average run of the day’s news. The state-wide excitement Incident to these elections will be practically noth ing whatever; but the excitement in the aggregate will be considerable. Indeed, there are few elections of more immediate concern to the locali ties affected than these justice of the peace ami bailiff contests. The offices pay very well, as a rule, and for the 3,494 places to be filled there likely are some 15,000 candidates. As each candidate has a reasonable following, it is not far wide of the probable to say that the total vote cast in these forthcoming justice of the peace and bailiff elections will run far ahead of the total vote cast in the late presidential election. Naming 3.494 justices of the peace ami bailiffs in Georgia is no small un dertaking, as the gentle reader doubt less already has observed! A movement is on foot to have Pres ident Wilson name as postmaster of Cedartown the widow of the late State Senator W. C. Bunn, who for years was one of the leading members of the Georgia bar, and certainly one of the most popular men in Georgia. Mrs. Bunn already has been heavily indorsed by influences very close to the president-to-be, ami her selection for the postoffice at Cedartown is by no means a remote probability. Senator Bunn died more than a year ago. Boston. Ga., proposes to take a big hand in the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson. “The Southwest Georgia Horne Spe cial” is the elaborate and impressive name Boston already has picked out for the train it expects to operate between Boston ami Washington on March 4. A list of prospective inauguration visitors has been opened in Boston, and enough names to fill a couple of sleep ers have been attached thus far. It Is proposed to carry not less than five sleepers, and perhaps as many as eight Boston is little, as Georgia towns go. but in enthusiasm for Wilson, it is ex tremely loud. The Augusta people remember Taft, even tn defeat, very kindly. They lave enjoyed having the president "in their midst” as the head of the nation, and they wish him to know that, even as an "also van,” or a “lame duck,” as the irreverent pleases to call hint, he still is very dear to Augusta's heart. The Chronicle, voicing diplomatically this feeling in Augusta, on Sunday said: While various Southern cities — Augusta very properly among the number —are making efforts to have President - elect Woodrow Wilson select them as ills “winter capital” —all of which is very right and commendable, and we hope he will display his usual good sense by coming to Augusta, instead of stopping off at any half-way places like Columbia —let’s get up a little movement in Augusta to invite our friend and fellow citizen, the ex president. “back home” for a few weeks this winter. Unfortunately, he probably won’t be able to leave Washington before March 4, but that would give him ample time In which to put in six or eight weeks in Augusta to good advantage be fore tlie weather gets too hot for him. Let’s place one of the best resi dences on The Hill at his disposal —or a suite of rooms at one es our winter hotels, if he prefers it— provide a retinue of servants for him; put an automobile at the door, and send him word to “come direct home” the minute he leaves the white house. Unquesti nably, there is a large measure of sincerity behind this very By JAMES B. NEVIN. pretty and very commendable sugges tion —and it will touch Mr. Taft in a very tender spot when he heyrs of it. Moreover, it is not at all unlikely that he will accept the invitation, if extended by Augusta. Congressman Gordon Lee, of the Seventh district, passed through At lanta today, on his way to Washington, where the sixty-second congress as sembles on Monday for its short and final session. Mr. Lee, who is concluding his fourth term, and has been named for an un opposed fifth, is one of the veterans of the house, and, under a Democratic ad ministration, is sure to be a member of wide irfluence and conspicuous stand ing. He is one of the most effective workers in the national legislative body, and as a member of the agricul tural committee has made himself quietly, but wonderfully, useful to his constituents. He looks forward with optimistic eye to the future of the Democracy. He believes that by proceeding along sane lines the Democrats may be able to hold the upper hand in national affairs for many years to come. Mr. Lee has a great many friends throughout Georgia who confidently expect to see him named governor be fore many years have passed. J. Hunter Johnson, of Twiggs coun ty, Wilson and Marshall elector for the Twelfth district, dropped „in on the governor for a little talk about things in general and nothing in particular today. Mr. Johnson Is one of the most suc cessful farmers in Georgia, and only indulges in politics as a sort of side line now and then—and at that, he never gets unduly excited about things. He is interested in the governor’s ex periments in dynamiting land for culti vation. and he says it unquestionably is a fine thing in the northern section of the state, where the land largely is red clay, and that it may be useful tn the southern section, moreover, although the land there is more sandy, and not so hard to break. Ike J. Berry, one of the candidates for postmaster at Rome, has written a card to The Tribune-Herald in which he proposes a nominating election in the Mill City, in order that the people may select their own postmaster. "I am willing to leave it to the peo ple,” says Mr. Berry. ‘‘Let the candi dates defray the expenses of holding the primary, pro rata, and by all means let’s have one.” This suggestion of a postmastership primary is meeting with considerable favor throughout the state, and it may be that numerous contests finally will be settled in that way. A great many Georgians will be In terested in learning that The Birming ham Age-Herald is industriously boom ing Oscar Underwood for secretary of the treasury under President Wilson. Georgians have felt that Underwood should remain as floor leader of the house and chairman of the ways and means committee —undoubtedly the most commanding position in congress, as now organized—but The Age-Her ald says Underwood long has been a dose student of the nation's fiscal af fairs, and that he would make an ideal secretary of the treasury. The Birmingham paper says Under wood’s tariff labors will be completed largely before the present congress ad journs. HEAVY SNOW IN PENNSYLVANIA. ERIE, PA., Nov. 27.

WHITE YOUTH HELD FOR THEFT OF COATS AND GRIPS AT DEPOTS Systematic thefts of suiV cases and overcoats from the Terminal and Union stations resulted today In Robert Led ford, a young white man, being bound over for trial. Recorder Broyles fixed his bond at SSOO. Tile specific charge against Ledford was the theft of the overcoat of B. W. Russell, president of the First National bank of Alexander City, Ala. Six other cases are booked aga.nst him. It is declared that Ledford's plan was to spot the stuff he was to steal as the passengers gathered in the waiting rooms. When the caller announced the departure of a train, the police say, he wbuld grab the nearest suit case or overcoat and hustle toward the gates, but would always turn off at a side en trance, which afforded direct communi cation with a pawn shop.

Man of Today Is Known by Bathtubs He Keeps CLEANLY ERA IN ATLANTA “The world is growing better Instead of worse; this is the bath .tub age: cleanliness is next to godliness, and Atlanta is having a perpetual revival, said a local real estate dealer today. He was discussing the "good old times when gentle folk wore powdered wigs and danced the minuet and “washed on Saturday nigh/s when it wasn't too cold. "Civilization follows the bath tub,” he continued. “The steady growth In the plumbing industry has only kept pace with the Increased demand for cleanliness. "There was a time when the rich man was known by his sheep and kine; then the standard of wealth was jewels and gold; then railroad stocks. Re cently a man was measured by the mo tors he owned. Now the standard of wealth is determined by the number of bath tubs to the square inch of floo" space in his new residence. In the “Good Old Days.” “You read of the fair women and brave men of the colonial period, mod els of deportment, the very creme de la creme. Well, there wasn’t a bit of plumbing, open or otherwise, in one of those colonial manor houses. Every Saturday night the butler or the maid brought a wooden wash tub out of the back yard, where it had served for the home laundry, poured in a gallon of hot water from the kitchen, and my lady’s ’bawth’ was ready. “That sort of bathing wasn't an en couragement to take a tub every morn ing. I believe It is still done that way in dear old England, where the hero of a novel talks constantly about his morning tub, as though he couldn’t get it off his mind. I couldn’t either, if my tub were a tin saucer six feet in diam eter and seven inches deep, set in the middle of a 40-foot room with a cold stone floor. "I remember when the first running water, hot and cold, bath tub was established in Atlanta. It was put in a thin-walled wooden closet built on the upstairs back porch of a handsome res idence, and it was the talk of the town for six weeks. Every One Demands Bath. “Since then the bath tub business has prospered. I can’t sell or rent a sl2-a --month cottage now unless it has a bath. NEGRO ‘BLIND TIGER’ PAYS SI,OOO FINE IN GOLD AT WAYCROSS WAYCROSS, GA., Nov. 27.—1 n a po lice raid three alleged operators of blind tigers were arrested and are under bond pending their trial before the mayor in police court. One of those caught In the raid is Judge Felder, a negro who has been before the courts here repeatedly for selling whisky. In city court Judge John C. McDonald fined Felder SI,OOO, and the negro created quite a sensa tion by paying the fine in gold. Felder was given notice then that his next offense would draw a straight gang sentence and if his case sets into a higher court that is what he faces. PRIVATpHEARiNGrFOR “MOVIE” SHOW MASHERS SAVANNAH, GA., Nov. 27. —Women who are annoyed by mashers in moving picture theaters will be shown every consideration when they’ appear against the offenders, declares Recorder John E. Schwara The recorder will here after give a private hearing at an hour when court is not in session to take the testimony of the complainants in such eases. This policy will be pursued in the case now pending against E. L. Neidlinger, who was arrested in a mov ing picture theater Saturday. time. The effect is amazing—your halt will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an in comparable luster, softness and luxu riance, the beauty and shimmer of true hair health. Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton’s Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter, and prove to yourself tonight now—that your hair is as pretty and soft as any—that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment—that’s all—you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try a little Danderine. (Advt.) True, I've iMiown tenants to use the tub to keep their coal in, but they insist on having it, anyway, just as they insist on a door bell, whether it rings or not. it is a of respectability. "For years after the first tub was inaugurated nobody dreamed of hav ing more than one. A person might as well have had two sets of false teeth. A few years ago, however, a large and commodious residence was planned and the owner demanded two bath rooms. The architect didn't think it possible. He .said it never had been done, there wasn’t any precedent for It, and he was certain it would spoil the architecture. But the owner insisted, the architect surrendered, and nobody suffered. Bath For Every Bed Room, "Since then the tendency has been toward a bath for every bed room, a shower on the sleeping porch and lava tories in the hall. It wouldn’t surprise me to see front verandas and drawing rooms fitted up with exposed plumbing and eleven kinds of porcelain handles in the next few years. I’m -half a mind to go into the plumbing business. “There's a famous old residence on one of Atlanta’s best known streets. It has twenty rooms, hung in expensive tapestries, covered with imported rugs, adorned in hand-carved woodwork. But it had just one crude, uncomfortable bath room. It has been rented fre quently since the family sold it. One tenant added a second bath and an other put in a third. If succeeding years do not put three or four more bath rooms in that old mansion it will be because there isn’t room to place them.” The delicious flavors of the best fruit and more economical.

Malone, a farmer, 21 years old, from Randolph county, Alabama, was found not guilty here last night at 11 o’clock of the murder of W. Emmett Hodges, the proprietor of the Seminole club, whom he shot five times and instantly killed on last April 22,- his old gray haired mother, who had wept through out the trial, rose to her feet and threw her arms around the foreman of the jury, saying: 'T’m a thousand times obliged to you all.” Malone pleaded self-defense, claiming that Hodges had robbed him of a purse of SIOO and was trying to shoot him. At the time of the homicide Malone was in Macon on his honeymoon. A pathetic feature, disclosed to the jury by Malone himself, and a fact that made an appeal in his favor, is that Mrs. Malone will shortly become a mothet.
