JONES IN CHARGE
IS POSTMASTER
Intimates Force May Be Reorgan
ized Within Few Months—Ns
gro Carriers May Go.
Declaring that he does not con
template any immediate changes in
the personnel of his force, Bolling H.
Jones, successor to Hugh L. McKee
as postmaster of Atlanta, took office
Tuesday morning. Mr. Jones inti
mated, however, that there might be
some change in the working force
later, perhaps within a few months.
It is generally understood that the
new official’s first move toward
changing the make-up of his force
will be the ousting of the negro let
ter carriers, as it is known he is op
posed to negroes holding positions of
so much responsibility.
Mr. Jones became formally post
master with the signing of a receipt
for the postage stamps and other
supplies in the Federal Building,
which had been charged to Mr. Mc-
Kee. He was ready to take office
early Monday afternoon, having fur
nished his bond and subscribed to
the oath earlier in the day. The de
lay was occasioned by the fact that
the ‘'postoftlce day" ends at mid
night.
Mr. McKee, who retires after three
years and six months of service,
stated Tuesday morning that he ex
, pects to remain in private life for at
least three years. He has moved his
office to the Moore Building, where
he plans to engage in the real estate
business.

Initiation of Oyster

Old King Cole was a merry old
soul, yet the legend says he became
blase. But the opening of the oyster
season at the Piedmont Hotel Mon
day night was of the kind that would
have caused the old fellow to bestir
himself.
While the formal after-theater
opening did not take place until 10
o’clock, the excitement really began
at 6 o’clock, when the dining room
was opened for dinner. An orchestra
of five women furnished a mixture of
the latest rags end melodious clas
sics. At 10 o’clock a shrill blast on a
cornet announced that the after-the
ater season was on. The 125 tables
In the main dining room filled rap
idly.
Assistant Manager Frank Taylor
was in charge of the opening and re
ceived congratulations on his work.

ON FRAUD CHARGE
Kirkwood Man Is Accused of
Swindling Lumber Firm in
Several Transactions.
B. F. Mitchell, of Kirkwood, was
arrested Tuesday on a warrant sworn
out by Robert Anderson, a lumber
man of Warrenton, charging fraud in
lumber deals. Mitehell was taken to
Warrenton by Sheriff W. O. Brinkley,
of Warren County.
This is the fourth time Mitchell has
been taken into custody, it Is said.
On August 27 Mitchell was arrested
and taken to Roberta, Ga, Later he
was taken to Somerville, and finally
he was arrestedr but released upon
the failure of the Sheriff of Chattoo
ga County to come for him.
According to the charges filed by
Anderson, Mitchell has represented
himself as the W. H. Mitchell Lum
ber Company. Under that name, it is
alleged, Mitchell has received large
conisgnments of lumber from Ander
son.
When arrested by Detective J W
Hollingsworth at his home in Kirk
wood, Mitchell inquired, pleasantly,
where he was “to be taken this time."
[ COTTON GOSSIP"
The census bureau places the total

The majority of English spinners are

The spot situation in the South is

Greenville. S. C.: “Fair demand spots,
but principally on call.”
Dallas: “Demand poor Interior %c

“Not much demand spots from
Europe, but interior price very high, and
those rains will stop movement and
selling, which is the main thing Europe
has been waiting for. Think good pur-
I chase.”
Fort Worth. Texas: “Demand much

Houston: 'Heavy rains all over

NEW YORK, Sept. 16. —ln the face of .
large receipts and poor cables, the cot- I
ton market opened steady to-day. with 1
first prices 2 points lower to 3 points
higher than Monday's close. There was |
considerable buying as the prices neared
the 13c level, on the idea that spinners
would take hold around that figure It
was ring talk that spinners were show
ing symptoms of alarm and wore rather
more willing to take cotton at current
levels than heretofore October sold up
to 13.08. against an opening of 13.05,
while January advanced 4 points to
12.92. The whole list held steady with

Damage reports were quite numerous
from the southwest, following the re
cent storm There was no social sea
tures to trading after the caa and th/
market developed a reactionary tenden
cy. due mainly to a Liverpool cable say
ing all Europe discloses labor unrest
spreading. Much of the recent buying
has been for speculation and this will
be thrown back on the market in case
of changing tendency and a very small
short interests exists. The market acted
as though it needed constant support
to hold it up Spot people were the
big buyers for the day The market
was sold rather freely and broke 7 to 9
points under the previous close.
Local bears say the market is long
and unless continually supported it will
sell lower, as cables from Manchester
and the continet say trade is becoming
very slack.

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "Senti- '
ment among corn traders is moderately
bearish and they are, talking a decline
below 70 cents for December and May.
Their theory is that the bull side hat
grown stale, and while there will be
rallies from time to time, they believe
in selling on bulges.
“Most of the local traders arc disposed
to work on the bull side of wheat, al
though the news yesterday was against
them. The belief is that prices are to
work higher, although at the moment
many of the commission houses are not
encouraging buying, except <»n good de
clines.”

NEW YORK, Sept. 16—There was a I

gains of a point on first sales. There
was unsually heavy trading in all the

shown for Reading. United States Steel

In Pedalmobile Contest
r'- "-Q ■
“Gee, ain’t it a peach! Couldn’t I speed some if I had one of /
them! How many are you going to give away, Mister?” These
are some of the remarks to be heard around The Georgian Office
where tlie big red “Georgian Flyer” is on exhibition—the one
just like The Hearst’s Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian /
will give to each boy and girl who secures forty new subscrip- 5
tions to the paper before October 1.
There are many earnest workers and the subscriptions are
coming fast. It would only be a wild guess now to say who will
win the first fifteen cars and receive the ’Charter Membership
Certificates to the Atlanta Pedal mobile Racing Club. These Cer
tificates will entitle the holder to compete in any or all races and. 1
events to be held in the near future.
•
Pedalmobile Clubs are to be found in many of the large
cities, having been promoted by some of the largest and best
newspapers in the country. This sort of sport may be new in At- /’
lanta, but in many particulars the Pedalmobile races are to the
children what the Auto races are to the grown-ups. In fact, they
are handled a good deal on the same order and are interesting /
to the parents as well as the children.
These little machines are not to be confined to pleasure
alone, but can be put to good use in many different ways. In
some cities carrier boys who have won Pedalmobiles may be seen
distributing their papers in them. All these cars are well-made
and serviceable and will surely gladden the heart of any boy or
girl who is fortunate enough to win one.
These cars are now on exhibition in the window of O. C.
Polk Dry Goods Store, 29 South Gordon Street; South Pryor Ice
Cream Parlor, 353 South Pryor Street, and Imperial Tire and
Tube Company, 349 Peachtree Street. While attending the Odd
and-Ends Sale at Polk’s Dry Goods Company, be sure to notice /
the “Georgian Flyer” in the window.
OUTSIDE WORKERS.
A number of boys and girls outside of the city of Atlanta
have sent in their application blanks and are now working earn
estly to obtain one of the handsome little cars. The Pedalmobile
man will be glad to send subscription blanks to more honest bust- y
lers who would like to own a Pedalmobile. >
Just fill out the application blank below and full particu
lars will be mailed you at once.

Pedalmobile Department of the Hearst’s Sunday American and
