The Chattanooga News Tells Why
This City Is Going Ahead
So Rapidly.
The following; editorial from the
Chattanooga News is worth reading
and studying carefully:
(From the Chattanooga Newt.)
A FINE KXAMPLE.
The city within 150 miles of
Chattanooga, which is probably
growing faster than any of our
neighbors, is Atlanta. Persons
who consider moving to this sec
tion of the South will, no doubt,
compare Chattanooga with At
lanta. Chattanooga’s growth has
been splendidly satisfactory dur
ing the past two years, but if it
can be increased In any way, It
behooves the citizens of Chatta
nooga to take the steps necessa
ry to make our community the
favorite with desirable new citi
zens. So it is well for us to
analyze conditions frankly.
Suppose, for example, gome de
sirable family, reared in a Chris
tlan community, contemplated re
moval to a Central Southern. City.
What special inducements eouid
Chattanooga give over Atlanta?
We might cite a good many. In
fact, in only two respects do we
think that city, more than Chat
tanooga would make a special
appeal to a family of the above
description.
It is proper to speak of these.
The first is, that Atlanta has
solved the problem of law en
forcement under prohibition bet
ter than any other Southern city.
Very little strong drink is sold in
Atlanta. The law is evaded to a
S reater extent as to lighter
rinksj but the number of saloons
it limited and by reason of the
prohibition of the sale of whisky,
drunkenness is reduced to a min
imum.
There is a fine spirit exhibited
in Atlanta for law enforcement.
The law is accepted as final and
there is no conspiracy against it.
The newspapers do not encour
age its violation. This sentiment
for law observance is a splendid
psdestal upon which to erect a
municipal edifice.
Nor has law enforcement mili
tated against business progress.
There is no greater fallacy than
that a wide-open town aids
growth. Morality, in communi
ty os w'ell as individual, not on
ly is right, but also is profitable.
Another triumph of Atlanta Is
in reducing the so-called social
evil to a minimum. Two young
men belonging to what is called
the Men antt Religion Forward
Movement, one a lawyer, the oth
er a business man of wealth, are
largely responsible for this re
form. Space was taken in the
newspapers and day after day ad
vertisements were written by the
lawyer and published, urging the
abolition of the restricted district
Men of wealth, members of
ehurchee, prominent in church and
public affairs, cancelled their
leases and demanded possession
of their premises, being used for
immoral purposes.
The wealthy young business man
expressed the curious doctrine
that “business is a ministry and
that a man should serve the
world in his business.” A home
was provided for the women who
expressed a desire to reform and
more than 200 were thus taken
care of. Conditions in Atlanta
are now cleaner than in any
other American city, it is said.
The example set by our sister
city, ought to appeal to us, both
from the standpoint of placing
Chattanooga on an equality with
its competitive city in respect to
the correction of these evils and
•Iso because such reforms they
might have in the race for
growth and population be of tre
mendous worth to this communi
ty outside of any effect it might
have In the race for growth and
population and business.
It took two men of courage in
Atlanta to do these big things—
one man of courage in Chatta
nooga could do much; a hundred
men of courage would certainly
lead the way to a new' era.
Big Pool Filled With Clear, Pure
Water—Fair Mermaid Will
Take First Plunge.
Piedmont Lake will be opened to the
public Thursday morning at 5 o’clock.
President J. O. Cochran, of the Park
Board, made* the announcement Wed
nesday, all arrangements for the re
opening having been completed.
Wednesday morning the high water
mark was reached. It is clear, pure
water, pumped direct from the. city
reservoir, and it lies In the lake as
clear as a crystal. Through it is
visible the large new concrete bottom
nf the inclosed swimming pool, and
out beyond the fence the diver can
set* depths he can not reach.
One of the flock of didappers
which have made a home of the lake
since last summer sailed up to the
f.*nc<* and then dived deep after a
minnow. His every movement under
the water could be seen. He did no*
know it was his last day of dominion.
Girl to Open Season.
A fair maiden will make the first
plunge of season Thursday morning.
She has not been selected as yet, but
the park authorities have decided that
a woman must part the water first
as a good omen.
Thousands will hollow her thi.~ sea
son—far more than in any season of
the pa«L The inclosed swimming pool
has been doubled in size* and new
diving towers have been erected.
While there were only abut 100
dressing rooms last summer. 444 lock
ers have been provided for men this
season and 100 dressing rooms for
women. Police Chief Beavers has
promised perfect police protection
against rowdyism.
The rules governing the swimming
in the lake are:
Rules for Season.

until sundown on week days. Sun- I

sive members of Congress were in

HERPICIDE
The man who wears a toupee does not
like it, but has the courage of his con
victions.
Nature never intended that the top of
the head should be left entirely without
protection. A bald head is very suscep
tible to contraction of colds and neu
ralgia. Wearing an artificial top piece
counteracts this tendency, and. aside
from the improvement in the personal
appearance, is amply justified.
How much better it would have been
had the man, now chronically bald and
wearing a toupee, but realized earlier in
life the approaching danger and de
voted a little regular attention to his
hair; which would have saved it.
There is a remedy which will abso
lutely prevent baldness. Loss of hair in
nine cases out of ten is unnecessary,
being due to dandruff and the germ that
check for $100. j causes it. This germ must be destroyed
the next best $50. the next $25, the | and the accumulations of dandruff
next $15. and the next twelve will |———
be given a prize of $5 each. __
In order to present a logical con- ! ~
elusion and win one of the prizes \
it will be necessary to follow the 1

bur instead will grow naturally and lux

Newbro’s Herpicide is the remedy,

remedy that kills the dandruff germ”

“I CAME FROM THE COUNTRY WITH
TWENTY DOLLARS”
Editor The Georgian:
Dear Sir—Have Just received The Georgian and read your home owners’ contest plan. It struck me so forci
bly that I did not wait to look over the paper, but got on the job.
On December 1, 1906. we landed In Atlanta with two or three months provisions (came from the country) 1 and
not more than $20 in money. Went to work for $lh per week, but was raised soon. That first year was a blue
one Sickness of family was followed by a spell of typhoid fever by myself, so I closed the year $40 behind where
I began By April 15, 1908. this was cleared up. Then the greatest trouble that confronted me was those monthly
rent receipts, with the 513 on the corner?. They looked mighty unlucky tome. About that time a real estate firm
advertised very' extensively some lots of a subdivision which they had made at $200 t?er lot—$2 down and $2 per
week. I went and looked at them at once and offered $4 cash and $3 per week for two lots, which they accepted.
Getting a brother to go my security. I managed to borrow $300 with that brother’s aid. I hulled in three rooms
and moved in ThPn work began in earnest; by sunlight and lamplight I was at it (having some knowledge of
carpenter work). In one year’s time I had them finished, and lots were half paid for.
Relng crowded in so small a house and it not In keeping with the community, I wasn’t content to stop tnere.
So I w**nt hark to this real estate firm and asked them to loan me $200 to build more house. They treated me as
nice as they did In the first trade, i So I went to work and built three more rooms, which gives me a house of six
rooms now finished.
Work was practically all done by 'myself at odd times. Ajid I have a home worth $2,500/ and what I owe
will not exceed $200.
