9 THE ATT ANT A GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Scores Executive Committee for Delaying Session and Setting September 30 for Election. Mayor James G. Woodward de clared Monday that the conduct of the City Executive Committee in Ax ing September 30 as the date on which the municipal primary election is to be held is a conspiracy to force snap Judgment on the people of At lanta. “As it stands to-day,” said the Mayor, “voters have just a little more than two weeks in which to register. The City Executive Committee met last Saturday and fixed September 30 as the day to hold the primaries. The registration books close September 9. The executive committee should have met around August 1 and the people should have had at least one month in which to register. And in justice to the various candidates—ten Coun- cllmen and five Aldermen—they, too, should have time in which to an nounce and get into the race.” “This is a matter of vital impor tance to citizens of Atlanta, and it is imperative that all voters should register at once. If they neglect this duty they will wake up to find that they have been walked over and trod den down by smooth politicians. “It is to be hoped that each voter will take an interest in the election and do his part in electing a man from his ward to Council that will not only serve the people in their Interests, but a man who is compe tent to really accomplish this. “The City Executive Committee has seen fit to fix a date for the primaries, which is nearly a month earlier than the date fixed last year October 20. The real election does not take place until the first Wednes day in December, and there is plenty of time yet, and there was abso lutely no need of fixing the date of the primaries on such short notice.” American Dances Stir London Church Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. LONDON, Aug. 25.—British news papers to-day devoted much spuce to the sermon of Canon Newbolt in St. Paul's Cathedral yesterday afternoon when he bitterly attacked such dances as the turkey' trot and the tango.

When he got there the boy was hanging out of the machine, unconscious, bleeding profusely from wounds in his head and body.

But customs change with time and what was impracticable a few years ago is a very sensible thing to do now—and so smart women who concern themselves with the new styles while they are still new are turning to the well-filled crystal eases of our suit department and are choosing with a fine sense of satisfaction their fall suits. That choosing with such satisfaction might not he possible in every store at this season we will not argue, but that it IS possi ble here is a matter you may prove by a few minutes’ visit to the Suit Department. The style tendencies for fall are well developed now, there is nothing to wait for in that respect—and they are novel and inter esting and varied. Novel and interesting from many viewpoints. There are draped cutaway coats, there are cutaway coats that button close up to the neck, there are cutaway coats with “dug out” collars and others that have the semblance of a blouse—all different from styles we have known. And coats are to be longer this fall; they measure 38 to 42 inches, but—and to the pleasure of the woman of slight stature—often the cutaway effect robs them of the appearance of being long. Never were styles more generally becoming! Many of the skirts are slashed, many are draped in one way and another. Materials show the new scheme of things. Soft fin ished fabrics are prominent, velour cloths self-striped, crepons, ratine striped fabrics and bayadere poplins, trimmings often take a contrasting shade and again the use of embroidered velvet is pronounced on collars, cuffs and skirts. What are the colors? See with your own eyes! Naming the mahogany, cinnamon, prune, amethyst, Copenhagen and navy shades is but poor apology for their richness and beauty. This is a worthy display of the new suit fashions, one that a woman may approach with the confidence that the suit she selects will be gn authentic style.
