WATER BOARD TO TALK SUIT. The City Water Board meets Wed nesday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock. W. E.

Among the important measures that received the official signature and became laws Tuesday were the general appropriations bill, the inher itance tax bill, the bill establishing a home for wayward girls, the perma nent registration bill, the medical practices act, the bill increasing the occupation tax on corporations, and the “blue sky” law relating to the sale of stocks and bonds. By signing the wayward home girls’ bill the Governor effectually disposed of the rumor that he intended to veto the measure. The basis of the report, it is understood, was the Governor's antipathy to signing any bill that would increase the appro priations while it made no provision for increasing the revenues propor tionately. Telegrams Flood Office. Tuesday Governor Slaton received between seventy-five and one hundred telegrams from individuals and or ganizations, urging him to sign the bill, which doubtless influenced him to a certain extent, together with the new report that tax returns showed an increase in taxable values of sev eral millions of dollars. The appointment of a committee of two men and one woman to have charge of the home probably will not be announced until Governor Slaton returns from Colorado Springs, where he will attend the conference of Gov ernors which will be held there four day* beginning next Tuesday. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Slaton, Colonel Frederic J. Paxon, chief of staff, and Mrs. Paxon. The party will leave Atlanta Saturday and expect to arrive in Colorado Springs Monday.

Wednesday the official sessions of the conference will begin, and will continue until Saturday evening. Among the speakers will be Governors Cruce, of Oklahoma; Lister, of Wash ington; O’Neal, of Alabama; Hunt, of Arizona: Hodges, of Kansas; Dunne, of Illinois; Baldwin, of Con necticut, and Carey, of Wyoming.

ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS The August Outclearing of Laces Gets Under Way at 9 o’Clock To-morrow Valenciennes, Linen, Shadow and Venise Laces- Huge Quantities at Huge Reductions. The August outclearing of laces at Chamberlin-Johnson- DuBose Co.’s has come to mean for many the time to purchase those dozens and dozens of yards of laces that a woman needs as a new season approaches. Perhaps at no other time are laces marked at such saving prices. This because we are discarding one pattern and another, clearing out all odd surpluses, making ready for the new stocks, in short, starting afresh with the new season. So, in light of the prices below and the fact that there are new dresses and underwear to he made and (not to be over looked) that the Christmas saving will doubtless be under way a long while before another such lace sale is announced, take the profit of this sale as your own. Here- 79 a doz. Valenciennes Laces They Were tftc ^ They Were $1.35 to $2.25 doz. a doz. 85c to $1.35. doz. 15 c They Were dM ’ 50c to 85c doz. 79' 15 Linen 30 c ,o 49 c - vd - 5 C » I5s<.

Included are edges and insertions of Cluny, Torchon and Smyrna laces—and they are all linen, sturdy and true, the kinds that make many successful round trips to the laundry. And gathered into the sale is an odd and comparatively smalllotof Venise edges and bands. The price tickets show they were worth up to 35c a yard. Now they are 8c a yd. A Little Notice of Big Savings In the Wash Goods Department This is the smallest advertisement we have published this season on wash fabrics and it tells of the greatest savings, as those who heed it shall learn. The blue pencil man has gathered together all the oddments of wash fabrics for quick disposal. We say quick because there are 25c and 29c white checked and striped voiles at 9c a yard, and 25c piques at 9c, 45c silk and cotton marquisettes at 11c, 25c white repps at 12V£c, again 29c voiles at 15c, and (55c Swisses at 15c, and other values, very much greater, that we would rather you see in the store than in an ad vertisement. They would seem incredible here. No, they are not per fectly fresh, they have been bandied, the shades are not always the best, but it has been many a day since y m were offered such values.
