The Chattanooga News Tells Why
This City Is Going Ahead
So Rapidly.
The following: editorial from the
Chattanooga New.* is worth reading
and studying cai'full}
(From the Chattanooga New*.)
A FINK EXAMPLE.
The city within 150 mile* of
Chattanooga, whjjch 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 papt two years, but if It
can be Increased In any way, It
behoove* the citizens of Chatta
nooga to take the steps necessa-
ry to make our community the
favorite with desirable new clti-
»ens. So it is well for us to
analyse conditions frankly
Suppose, for example, some de
sirable family, reared In a Chris
tian community, contemplated re
moval to a Central Southern City.
What special inducements could
t’hattanooga 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 »». that Atlanta has
iolvad 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
3 reater extent as to lighter
rinks, but the number of saloons
is 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
'n 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
pedestal 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 aa well ns 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
nten belonging to what is called
the Men amt 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
churcher, 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 • urlous 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
••are 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
also because such reforms they
might have in the race for
growth a neb population be of tr<
mendous worth to this communl
ty outside of any effect it might
have In the race for growth and
population and business.
It took tw’o 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.

mysteries galore. For before the end
of the story is printed, readers of
The Georgian will J?e given the great
est opportunity to solve a mystery
and win a prize that has been of
fered to Atlanta, newspaper readers.
The story of "The Tr!p\p Tie,” the
scenes of which are laid in Atlanta,
will run in The Georgian In serial
form until June 29, detailing the ad
ventures in love and baseball of
Gordon Kelly, as clean, live, red-

enthusiasm and invoke your best ef
forts in their solution.
And right at the most critical
point in the story, at one of the
most mysterious and dramatic sit
uations ever conceived by an author,
the story will stop. The readers of
the story will then be asked to sup
ply conclusions to the novel. The
contest, is in no way a guessing con
test. It will be a test of the lit

readers of the Georgian, to evolve a
logical conclusion to that portion of
the story that has gone before.
Adequate prizes ate offered for the
best conclusions to the story, the
awards to be based on originality,

Miss Delia Dana Has Advanced
Opinions on Matrimony,
Eugenics and Evolution.
BOSTON. May 21. Trial marriages
as a means of improving the rate
were vigorous*^ advocated to-day by
Miss Delia F. Dana, granddaughter of
the poet Longfellow, and sister of Ed
mund Trowbridge Dana, who mar
ried Jessie Holiday, the English por
trait painter with a ceremony of his
own devising.
I’ndeterred by the fact that Ed
mund has* been a trolley car conduct
or while bis bride lived in England,
Mi^p Dana is busy revising slightly
the ceremony her brother wrote. Sho
\n ill use it herself when she weds, .n
June, Robert H. Hutchinson, a fellow
Socialist and a post-graduate stu
dent ht Harvard.
Miss Dana is certain that th.dr-
marriage will not be a trial one. bid
as she believes that you never can
tell about anything, site thinks that
the trial is the only solution of the
problem of why-do-men-quarr !-
with-their-wives, or whys-the-hus-
band-nagged-out-of - home-and - the
side.
The Dana family service in its
latest revised and amended form Is:
"1. Delia F. Dana, take you, Rob
ert H. Hutchinson, as my lawful hus
band, and promise faithfully to fulfill
toward you all the obligations aris
ing from the married slate, and 1
hope to be true comrade and help
mate; as a symbol thereof, 1 give you
this ting."
After which HE repeats a similar
formula, slipping on HER finger a
gold ring in contradistinction to the
silver one SHE uses.
"We shall exchange no set vows,"
said the poet's granddaughter, "but
we shall tr> to IfN e fully up to the
requirements of those we do ex
change. Marriage is a calling which'
should be studied just as one would
any calling, such as nursing, for ex
ample. Ii is* really a definite work,
but usually few women are prepared
for it.
Miss Dana. like some other in
vestigators in the field, says that she

“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 pape . but got on the job.
• On December 1. 1906. we landed In Atlanta with two or three months provisions (came from the country) and
not more than $2ft in money. Went to work for Sift per week, but was raised soon. That first year was a blue
one. Sicknea* 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 clrared up. Then the greatest trouble that confronted me was those monthly
rent receipts, with the S13 on the corners. 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 3200 per lot—$2 flown and $2 per
w-ek. 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. Then 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.
Being crowded in so small a house and it not In keeping with the community, I wasn't content to stop mere.
So i wi*nt back to this r*>al estate firm and asked them to loan me $200 to build more house. They # treated mo as
nice as they did in the first trade. 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. And I have a home worth $-.500,'and w hat I owe
will not exceed $200.
But It took work.' work work! , C. B. €r-
