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.” KNIGHTSOF PYTHIAS NAME NEW OFFICERS Georgia Lodge, No. 135, K. of P., has elected officers for the ensuing term.

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. DARWIN'S SECOND SON DEAD. LONDON, Dec. 9.—Professor Sir George Darwin, second son of Profes sor Charles Darwin, the famous author ity on education, is dead at Cambridge.

"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.
