Firemen Endangered

Augusta W. C. T. U. Demands
Enforcement of Prohibition
Law—Commission Controls.
AUGUSTA, Aug. jl6. Pursuant to
a demand from the Augusta Chap
ter, Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union, that the City Council of Au
gusta regulate the saloons of the city
and put a stop to the alleged flagrant
violation of the law, which was re
ferred to the police committee of the
City Council, a report has been made
to that body by this committee at a
special meeting.
The W. C. T. U. members requested
that the City Council tell them, in
plain terms, what they intended to do
about the Augusta situation. The
City Council will make reply that it
has no authority in the matter. In
effect, the City Council will tell the
VV. C. T. U. that it can not regulate
the saloons within its corporate lim
its; that if the women wise, the law
enforced, they will have to appeal to
the Solicitor of the City Court or the
Police Commission of the city of Au
gusta. This must be done by “spe
cific charges,” presented either to the
Solictlor or the commission.
From this answer grew a heated
argument on the prohibition law and
its non-enforcement in Augusta. But
the argument was merely by way of
diversion. It was suggested that if
the police were not doing their duty
by the law in Augusta, a movement
should he made to Impeach the Police
Commission, but that was only a sug
gestion.
Councilman S. H. Myers of the
Sixth Ward, discussing the proposi
tion, said:
“Council simply pays the freight.
We appropriate between $90,000 and
$100,000 a year for the maintenance
of the police department, and can
not even make a suggestion as to
what It shall do.”
The city is peculiarly situated in
this respect. The police department,
unlike the fire department, is not
governed by a committee of the City
Council. Under an act of the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia, a commis
sion, consisting of a member from
each of the city wards, and the May
or. is appointed to govern the police
department. The commissioners are
elected by the City Council, but im
mediately when they assume office
the commissioners have as much or
greater authority than Councilmen.
A recent change, removing the power
of dictating to the chief from the
Mayor and placing it in the hands
of the chairman of th e commission,
removes the last semblance of power
of Council over the department. If
the commission sees fit to ignore the
request of the W. C. T. U., even
if all City Council voted to the con-
trary, it may be done, and there is
no hindrance.
So, having Investigated the situa
tion and found themselves without
authority to suggest to that, the most
important, department of the city, the
City Council will inform the W. C.
T. IT. of their find, and will request
them "to draw up specific charges
of violations of the law and present
them to either the Solicitor of the
City Court or the Police Commission
of Augusta.”

Schedule to Tybee
For September
Superstitious Fears Vanish as Record
Is Unearthed—Few Storms
in September.
SAVANNAH, Auk. 16.—Following
J a prolonged agitation on the subject, |
the Central of Georgia Railway has
announced a Tybee schedule for Sep
tember which will answer all require
ments of those who care to remain on
the Island during that month, and will
make It possible for the season to be
extended for the additional 30 days.
It Is now up to the people to sho-v
whether the experiment Is Justifiable
or not.
For years a sort of superstition has
existed that It is not well to stay on
Tybee during the month of Septem
ber. People have thought that it is
not healthful to go In the water dur
ing this month. There Is also a very
deep-seated fear of storms during this
period, when the hufrieane season is
In full swing and the weather man Is
likely to spring a West Indian tornado
j this way overnight. It Is certainly
j not pleasant on Tybee during one of
j these storms.
Heretofore the season at Tybee has j
always closed with Labor Day, after j
| which winter schedules on the rail
road were in operation, making ex- I
) cursion visits to Tybee Impracticable. [
TO USE GATLING GUN
IN SHAM BATTLE AT MACON
TIEHTCONTEST
Bibb Representative IstheYoung-
est Candidate Ever Seeking
Macon’s High Office.
MACON, A.ug. 16.—The local
Mayoralty situation was further com
plicated to-day by the announcement
of Wallace Miller, who now Is Repre
sentative to the Legislature from
Bibb County, that he will be a candi
date for Mayor.
An enthusiastic meeting of Mr
Miller’s friends was held this morn
ing, and a committee was appointed
with full authority to organize an
Aldermanic ticket. It is expected that
his ticket and formal statement to
the public will be announced early
next week.
Wallace Miller Is the youngest can
didate who ever entered the race for
Mayor of Macon. He is only 28 years
of age.
Mr. Miller is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Georgia. He entered the
practice of law here, but later en
gaged in the commercial field as the
manager of a provision house. Two
years ago he resumed law, announced
his candidacy for the Legislature,
and was safely elected, although It
took a recount of th e ballots to es
tablish his victory.
Mr. Miller’s father, Judge A. L.
Miller, was Mayor of Macon four
years ago. and is one of Macon's lead
ing citisens. However. Wallace Mil
ler is not running on his father s
strength, as the elder Miller is oppos
ed to his son’s present political ven
ture. He will get his father’s suu-
port, however. v
Mr. Miller's candidacy was first
suggested a week ago, but in a very
few days the boom became so sub
stantial that Mr. Miller could not re
sist the importunities of his frineds.
A number of prominent citizens have
volunteered to run with him for Coun
cil, and it is believed that he will
have a strong ticket. His campaign
probably will be managed bv former
Representative Walter DeFore and
Charles H. Hall. ex-City Attorney.
The campaign likely will be con
ducted along anti-administration
lines. *
