COUNTYTOIDOPT
RIGID METHODS
INCITYWDRK
Board Tires of Having Paving
Torn Up for Sewers and
Track Changes.
Public itnpiiivtmintK In Atlanta will
be subjected to nn entirely new work
ing plan as a result of the reorganiza
tion of city and county governments
on January 1, according to a majority
of members of the Fulton commission.
Aware that the city anil county have
been playing at cross purposes and
Confusion in street and paving work
hns resulted, Shelby Smith. who is
(dated for the chairmanship of the
county board, said today the county
will adopt a new plan for future work
and will adhere to it rigidly.
What Plan Provide*.
According to Mr. Smith, a resolution
embodying the plan will be adopted nt
the first regular meeting of the board.
This plan will be submitted to the city
as a working basis.
The county’s 1913 program will pro
vide that no paving be authorized by
the commission within the city limits
until the city and the street car com
pany have furnished written statements
asserting that all the sewer and track
work has been finished.
"We are tired of building pavement
in the city.” said Mr. Smith, "to have
1t torn up by the city for sewers
or the street car company for some
slight change in the tracks."
Change in County Board.
.Whether the board will reach an
agreement with the Woodward admin
istration is the question now bother
ing the commissioners. According to
Mr. Smith, no member of the com
mission has conferred with Mr. Wood
ward or his representatives. Mr. Smith
said he didn't know whom Woodward
will appoint to head the street and
sewer committees.
On January 1, 11. E. W. Palmer leaves
the county board and Tom Wynne takes
his place. This change In the personnel
is expected to shift the majority and
what is known as the Smith faction will
gain power. It is expected also that
Shelby Smith will succeed Clifford L.
Anderson as chairman.
"If the city can't agree to some rea
sonable scheme of working street im
provements,” said Smith, "the board
will turn its attention to roads in the
county outside of the city.”

HOW TO GREET
SIR T. J. LIPTON
Alphonse Deßigeur Advises At
lantans on Etiquette in
Matter of Noblemen.
Continued from Page Onef*
what he wants out of our weekly pay
and band us back the envelope.
But In England they make him a
knight, which pleases him just as much
and costs the consumer less. When a
man Is made a knight in England they
call him "Sir.” When he makes a
night of it in Atlanta they call him
down. It seems there ought to tie tome
connection between those statements,
but it's hard to figure out.
Baronet? Little Baron.
Anyway. Mr. T. J. Lipton, teas and
spices, became Sir Thomas. Afterward,
when he found there were so many
knights up and down Piccadilly that
they had to have special traffic ordi
nances, Sir Thomas went back to the
late queen, registered a protest, and
was made a baronet. A baronet Is a
little baron. It's like being on the gov
ernor's staff, conspicuous but not re
munerative. But it’s better than being
just a mere knight, [or as some merry
wag wrote to "Punch," there’s a knight
for every day.
So don’t call him "My Lord” or "Your
Lordship" or pull any of that stuff.
| "Sir Thomas” Is the correct salutation,
i just plain "Sir Thomas.” Ito not feel
a delicacy in addre"sing him by his
front name on short acquaintance. In
Englund, last names are used for but
lers and housekeepers, you know. Why,
the king, God bless him, has forgotten
he ever had a surname, though he has
enough front and middle names to sup
plj an orphan asylum. And it will jiot
be necessary to remain uncovered in
tils presence unless you're in the par
lor.
Talk of Yachting, of Course
Hut of course you'll want to chat
with Sir Thomas anti make him feel
at home, and being forbidden to talk
tea you'll fall back on yachts and
yachting. Sir Thomas is collecting
views on yachting from several inland
cities. —•
So you might ask him whether he
ever gets seasick and what he takes for
it, what he thinks of American yacht
ing rules (if no ladies are present), and
whether tie prefers steam or gasoline
for racing purposes. You might refer
casually to the skipper and his assist
ant, the scupper, or speak in an off
hand way of splicing the spinnaker
abaft the to'gallant lee carburator.
If he doesn’t grow enthusiastic over
chat tell him about your ocean trip and
how the captain said you were the best
sailor he ever saw. He’d be awfully in
terested in your trip.
But don't, don't ask him If this is
his first visit to America. For he has
been over several distinct and separate
times Just to get one piece of silver
ware, and he hasn't got It yet. But he
has hopes.

Outlook for Organized Labor
Under Democratic Rule Is
Bright, Say Delegates.
"There is a bright outlook for organ
ized labor under a Democratic admin
istration,” said James O’Connell, vice
president of the American Federation
of Labor, today. Mr. O’Connell, whose
home is in Washington, came to At
lanta at the request of President Sam
uel Gompers. to be present at the first
sectional convention of labor ever held
—the Southeastern Labor congress—
which met this afternoon at the capitol.
"The Democratic party Included all
of organized labor’s planks in its plat
form.” continued Mr. O’Connell, "and
there is no reason to doubt they will be
carried out in practice. One of these
will be the creation of a department of
labor with a secretary in the cabinet. I
have heard Congressman William Wil
son, of Pennsylvania, spoken of as the
most probable man for this place. His
term as congressman expires soon. You
may remember that Mr. Wilson spoke
in Atlanta some time ago.
No Fear of a Panic.
'•Don’t let any of this panic talk wor
rj- you. Nothing the Democratic ad
ministration will do will injure the
business of America and there will be
no factories shut down, no men thrown
out of work.
“The period of panics or depressions
grows shorter every year, and even
should there be a season of financial
depression it would not last long
enough for the country to feci it. Be
sides. the time Is past when Wall Street
can close down industries. It may de
press speculative stocks, but that is
all.”
Nearly 200 delegates were present
when the convention opened at 2
o’clock. The visitors were welcomed by
Jerome Jones, editor of The Journal of
Labor; James L. Mayson, city attorney,
and S. B. Marks, president of the State
Federation of Labor.
Organization Needed.
"Better organization in union labor is
needed in the South, and the congress
must work to that end,” said one promi
nent delegate.
"Atlanta is a good union town. So is
Birmingham, and so are several other
cities. But in the smaller towns and in
the Carolinas union organization must
be brought up to a higher standard.
“The need of uniform laws in the
Southeastern states is clearly apparent,
and the congress will work along that
line, too. Georgia has very good labor
laws. Louisiana and Florida are far
behind. , The states which are back
ward in labor legislation must be
brought up to the standard of the best.
Child labor laws, factory inspection reg
ulations, laws governing hours of labor
—all these need improving.”
Sessions of the congress will be held
tonight and tomorrow. Judson King,
secretary of the National Initiative,
Referendum and Recall society, will de
liver an address tonight.
BITTER FIGHT OPENS ON
TAFT’S APPOINTMENTS
WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.—Evidence
that there will be a determined tight
against President Taft's nominations in
the senate was given today when the
judiciary committee of that body ad
journed without having confirmed any
presidential appointees. This action de
lays all the confirmations at least one
week. Opposition on the part of the
Democrats is responsible for the hold
up.
