Grading of Peachtree
Blow to the Coasters
When the city cut the hump out of Peachtree
street and lowered the grade on West Baker
street it did a good thing for drivers and mo
torists, but it nearly ruined the hest coasting
hill in Atlanta, as half-a-hundred boys and girls
■ dseovered today when they arrived with sleds.
The Baker street hill had been known to three
generations of youngsters as the best coasting
place in Atlanta.
The youngsters were out before breakfast to
day. with sleds of as many different kinds as
there were kids. There were real store-bought
ones with steel runners, hastily-built coasters of
soap boxes on board runners, mother s best
rocking chair sawed off and converted into a
ded.

U. S. Pen and Jail
Prisoners Feast
Eating and playing marked Thanksgiving
day for hundreds of the city’s poor, as
well as the many prisoners at the Fed
eral penitentiary, today, in spite of the
snow covering the ground and the chilly
breezes freezing things up generally.
The inmates of the Federal penitentiary
probably were more feted and dined than
any others, but those protected by the
Salvation Army had some treat them
selves, while the Associated Charities
joined in the good work.
Everything from an orthodox Thanks
giving dinner with turkey and cranberry
sauce to a vaudeville performance en
tertained Uncle Sain's prisoners. The
vaudeville performance came at 10 o’clock
this morning in the prison chapel. A
number of the performers at the Grand
appeared through the courtesy of Hugh
Cardoza, manager of the theater.
Vaudeville Acts Enjoyed.
For many of the prisoners it not only
was the first vaudeville performance of
their Ilves, but also the first acting of
any kind they had ever seen, and it was
with wide open eyes and mouths that they
watched In startled wonder the feats of
the acrobats and heard the songs of tenors
and sopranos. At 12 o’clock the big
dinner was served, Mrs. I. Springer do
nating 890 oranges, or one orange for
each man.
The prisoners at the stockade and po
lice station were not so fortuante. The
stockade inmates had a half-day of rest,
but the food served was the same pork
and beans, with an extra dish of fresh
pork. The same meal was served to the
prisoners at police station.

Dr. George Brown and
The Gambler s Watch
Dr. George Brown, third man of the candi
dates in the first mayoralty primary, is back in
Atlanta for the first time since friends of James
G. Woodward and Aldine Chambers revealed let
ters indicating they had Dr. Brown’s support.
Never a direct word could be secured from Dr.
Brown, for he was in New York.
The Doctor did not talk polities.
“1 got the most interesting souvenir of my
whole collection,” declared Dr. Brown, radiating
smiles x and good fellowship. “George Considine,
proprietor of Metropole, whose business was ruined
by the tragedy, gave me Herman Rosenthal’s
watch.”
“That is very interesting,” continued one of
the group. “But you know the finish of that
mayoralty race was certainly a hot fight?”
“George Considine is an old friend of mine,”
said the doctor.
