had the city attorney to draw up
the contract with the seven changes
included. However, at the nex f
meeting the committee reversed its
decision and ordered ail seven of
the city electrician’s recommenda
tions stricken out of the proposed
contract
Such conduct as this on the pa
Os the committee indicates even to
a casual observer of city affairs
that members of the committee bad
'been seen.”
Says Writ Will Be
Asked to Halt Action.
It is hardly necessary to men
tion the fact that it is illegal for
the 1912 council to make tills con
tract, as the 1813 council will have
three months in which to dray up
a new contract for street lighting
before the present contract expires.
If this contract for street light
ing is approved today it will be held
up by court Injunction by a mem
ber of the Consumers league, an
organization whose prime obje t is
’o secure cheap electricity and gas
for the people of Atlanta.
I respectfully request that tic
1912 council turn over to the 1913

Tne police began searching lor the

for tile bomb thrower.
The attempted assassination was |
made during the procession of Lord |
and Lady Hardinge from the railway |

Vergas is a lending member of the

He had not seen his former Atlanta

\ ergas, in rendering his song, does a
spooning stunt in a boat by stage "moon

company. But Tuesday night the young
singer didn't even see the girl in the
boat. He sang to the girl in the au
dience, and with an enthusiasm und
zest that caused the girl In the boat
to wonder. The song seemed to go
better than usual that night, and Ver
gas eagerly responded to several en
cores.

had not been paid by state officials to
appeals from the stricken town.
“I do not wish the impression to go
abroad that tin- board has not done all
jit could do,” said Dr. Harris. "I was
called up Sunday night, a week ago, by
Dr. H. F. Bent, of Alldvllle, who asked
• if we could supply him anti-toxin, say
ing he had five or six cases, with fatal
j r esults in most of them. I took all we
had in the laboratory and mailed it at
tlie pustoffice that night.
"I heard nothing more until Wednes
'd:.iy, when Dr. Bent telephoned for
.more serum. He asked If the board
I could not send down a physician to
take charge. He was told that serum
would be furnished freely, but the lim
' ited appropriation for tlie board would
I; not permit the expense of hiring a phy
sician to go to tlie scene. It was shown
Dr. Bent that it was not the policy of
i the board to take charge of patients and
j assist in their treatment, partly because
j of lack of funds and partly because we
■ did not believe It Ju9t to physicians to
j send some one paid by the state to take
[ charge of their private practice.
“Dr. Bent was shown that there was
absolutely nothing to be done in an
epidemic, such as he described except
keep the patients isolated and admin
ister anti-toxin. The presence of an
other doctor could not be of value in
ti eating 1 the three or-four patients who
have had the disease since, the board
was notified, and certainly the board
could not employ nurses and guards to
treat and quarantine people.
“As Hie situation stands, the only
thing that remains for the board to do
. within its legitimate purview would be
1 to quarantine Burke county and to cut
|it off from communication with the
outside world.”
Waynesboro Puts
Up Quarantine Bar
WAYNESBORO, GA.. Dec. 23.—The
city council of Waynesboro has passed
an ordinance quarantining against
Burke county, and lias placed guards
on all the roads pnd railroads entering
the city. The question of closing all
the busines houses was discussed, but
this was not deemed avisable at this
time. The county- commissioners are
doing nil in their power to assist in pre
venting the spread of the disease, and
have quarantined and placed guards.
They also have sent nurses and have
called upon the governor to demanjl
that the state board of health do its
duty and send some one to help in han
dling the situation.
The virulence of the epidemic has
caused the strict quarantine, in order
to prevent the city from becoming in
fected, and the failure of the state
board to come to the immediate assis
tance of the courtfy authorities has
been severely criticised.
The conduct of tlie Midville physi
cians in leaving also has been the sub
ject of caustic comment.

BOSTON, GA., TO BE
“HIGHBROW” TOWN;
TO BUILD A LIBRARY
THOMASVILLE. GA., Dec. 23.—Bos
ton. in Thomas county, is to have a
Carnegie library, and it will probably
be the smallest town in the state to
boast of such an institution. The mayor
of Boston has been notified by the Car
negie Corporation Company that $6,000
has been donated for this purpose, and
I as scon as the plans and specifications
for tlie building and approved the mon.
ey will be available.
It. is to the women of the Twentieth
Century club that the town is Indebted
for this valuable institution. About a
year ago Mrs. O. T. Hopper, president
of the club, asked Mayor Blanton to
take up the matter of the library with
Mr. Carnegie, which he did, though not
with much hope us success, as it was
feared that Boston was too small a town
to receive a donation for such a pur
pose. A favorable hearing was ob
tained from the philanthropist, how
ever, and the result is that Bostdn is
assured of having a library at an
early date. ’ The town council has guar
anteed SSO a year to maintain it and
the women have secured and paid for
a site upon which to build it.

SEEK REFORM
Committee Appointed to Urge
Lawmakers to Carry Out
Anti-Vice Crusade.
Backed by county court officials
members of six Fulton grand juries for
■1912 will carry their reform recommen
dations to the state legislature. S upe
rlor Judge W. D. Ellis has appointed
John M. Green. G. S. Prior and C c
j McGehee, former jury foremen, as
i committee to confer with Fulton legb.
j lators relative to a mass of local leg'..
| lation which will be sent to the Geo
! gia solons In J uly.
A recently discharged jury, ,.
| predecessors, complained bitterly to so
perlor court that its recommendations
land the recommendations of forme
! juries had not been followed by Fulton
officials and had made little or no i» n .
I pression on the community.
I “We recommend,” said the report o'
the November jury, discharged bv
Judge Ellis last week, “that a copy o ’s
this report be served on every count/
official and the four Fulton representa
tives In the legislature. We suggest
that the court appoint a committee to
confer with the legislators.”
It is more than likely that the com
mitteemen will succeed in causing the
introduction of a bill which will restrict
the sale of pistols and Increase the en
forcement of the law against pistol
toters.
Several other needed reforms, mostly
local in nature, it is expected, will be
the outcome of the jurymen's insistence
that their recommendations be consid
ered seriously by the legislature.
It Is assured that the Atlanta city
government will, have the backing of
the jurymen, following the action of th.:
most recent jury In commending Chief
Beavers for his war on vice.
The city’s attitude on locker clubs
also will receive support. Some six
months ago a Jury investigated locker
club conditions and returned indict
ments against ten clubs for violation
of the prohibition law. These cases
still are pending in superior court.
