Two Lines Retaliate for Defeat
by Travelers by Withdrawing
Interchangeable Books.
The Central and Atlanta, Binning-
liam and Atlantic railroads have noti
fied the Georgia Railroad Commit-
sion that on and after Deeembed 17
aH interchangeable mileage books,
good lor transportation wholly with
in the State, will be withdrawn, and
thereafter only such mileage books as
are sold by the individual roads, good
for travel on those roads alone, wifi
be offered.
The Central will issue strictly in
trastate mileage at the present price
2 cents per mile, good only rn
toe Central, while the A.. B. & A.
will confine its sales to Intrastate
penny script, good only under the
name regulations.
The railroads, therefore, apparently
have “gone the limit” in restricting
mileage use in Georgia, under the
terms of the State Commission’s or
der. anil the question now arises
whether the roads, in withdrawing
interchangeable mileage, good whoMy
within the State, have not violated
a Commission order that may pre
cipitate further litigation by the trav
eling men.
Ignore Regulations.
There is .a regulation which says
that no facility, once having ben
granted by the railroads, whether
voluntarily or otherwise, shall be
withdrawn without the Commission’s
permission.
This permission neither the Central
por the A., B. & A. has secured or
asked for.
Chairman Murphey Candler, in ren
dering a dissenting opinion to the
Commission’s original order, which
order subsequently was upheld by the
Supreme Court, sets forth as one of
his reasons for opposing the order at
the time the fear that the very thing
would happen which lias happened—
that is, the complete withdrawal in
Georgia of all interchangeable mile
age, good wholly within the State.
As the situation now shapes itself,
traveling men in Georgia must use
for transportation wholly within
Georgia a separate mileage book l'or
every road, no matter how short or
long, used in traveling. They will
have to carry two or three dozen
mileage books, and must tie up hun
dreds of dollars, where before they
had only to tie up from $2T> to $50.
Other Roads Likely to Follow.
And even individual mileage books,
good only in Georgia, must be used
in cities of over 10,0,00 under the old
exchange system, which piovides that
the strips must be taken up at the
ticket windows and trip tickets given
by the agents therefor.
All mileage books sold before De
cember 17 will be honored under the
present regulations, but books se
cured after that date must be used
under the new.
Presumably the other roads of ^the
State will follow tile lead of the Cen
1ral and the A., B & A., and It is
regarded as practically certain that
the traveling men will now ask that
the legality of the railroads’ position
be tested before the Commission, and
111 the courts, if necessary, as to
whether the roads have the right to
withdraw State Interchangeable mile
age without the State Commissions
consent.

•‘When is a nuisance not a nui
sance?”
That seemingly is the quesUon the
juries of Georgia, and the Juries alone,
must answer in re the State-wide
prohibition law.
The Supreme Court has decided,
solemnly and with august emphasis,
that a man, person, or thing, accord
ing to the point of view, may be en
joined in Georgia from operating a
“blind tiger"—that is, that he may
be enjoined from selling intoxicating
liquors.
What, .however, is a "blind tiger,”
and when is liquor ‘‘intoxicating?”
Also, when is a sale a sale—or, to
get at it the other way around, when
is a sale not a sale?
Echo answers, “When!”
Echo is notoriously more or less
sarcastic at times
Nobody' knows the answer—and ap
parently, in the words of one of those
erstwhile “latest and most popular
songs of the day," nobody' ever will!
.11 seems that a defendant guilty of
selling liquor in Georgia may be ar
rested and sent up to do time—and
occasionally' one suffers both of these
dire calamities. But he can not be
sent up unless a jury says so—that
much seems clear.
Where wo get off. therefore, is
right at that old station which evi
dently ip not to be run by r —What
does the jury think of It?
Desperate efforts have been made
of late to keep the prohibition limited
going at breakneck speed beyond this
grand old station—nothing doing!
If the limited gets by a little bit, it
is naked, and has to back up!
Far be* it from the courts to say',
right out in meeting and so positively
that nobody can misunderstand, what
the jury r ’s business Is in this matter.
In the meantime, locker clubs in
Geiorgia are about evenly divided be
tween those that view with alarm and
their better situated relatives able to
point with pride.
When is a nuisance not a nui
sance?
You can search the courts of re
view!
The Albany Heriild sizes up the
present situation in Georgia with re
spect to votes for women in these
words: “In Georgia, the woman who
wants the ballot is the exception. As
a rule, the women of this Common
wealth are quite satisfied with suf
frage conditions as they arc, an:l are
not at all interested in the vote chas
ing activities of their sisters in va
rious other States. This will not last j
indefinitely, of course, and in due |
time the Georgia suffragette will be
as enthusiastic and as busy as suf
fragettes any’where. And she will, we
may be quite sure, be a credit to her |
sex and to her cause."
That, it will be agreed, perhaps,
about sizes up the status of tilings.
Eventually, woman suffrage is to be
a live issue in Georgia at present it
is not.
Judge Samuel B. Adams, of bavan-
nah. one of Georgia's purest and
ablest men, of lofty trend of mind
and splendid poise, inclines to look
askance at woman suffrage, and re
cently published a card opposing it.
Nevertheless, there are few who do
not believe that it is a question that
must be fought out before many more
days, and the impression is that
finally it will be settled in favor of ,
ballots for women. i
In Georgia, that will mean white .
women—it never will mean anything :
else!
It is stated that, upon the cordial |
recommendation of Congressman j
Frank Park, of the Second District, j
Mrs. Nellie Brimberry will be re
appointed as postmaster at Albany'.
It is understood to have been the
intention of the late Congressman
Rodenberry to ask Mrs. Brim berry’s
reappointment, and Judge Park has
decided to take similar action.
I^iis appointment will give very
general satisfaction in Albany.
The death of Samuel C. Berry, Rep
resentative from Whitfield County in
the Georgia Legislature, removes
from that body one of its very best
beloved and most highly respected
member-.
"Sam" Berry has represented bis
home county a number ol* times, ami
never once did he fail to leave his
imprint upon the General Assembly
of which he was a part. He will be
remembered many days, particularly,
perhaps, for his always courteous
manners and common-sense spirit of
compromise.
During the last session of the House
it was evident enough that death had
marked the gentleman from Whitfield
as its own, but he took an active, even
aggressive, part in the proceedings,
nevertheless. >
Berry, of Whitfield, was a gentle
man to his finger-tips—a gentleman
and an able legislator. Whitfield had
a right to be, and was, proud of him.
He died Tuesday at his home in Dal
ton.
Governor Slaton is expected home
Wednesday afternoon, and will be in
his offices in the Capitol Thursday
morning. He has been in the East for
the past ten days, principally' in New
York.
Political rumor of an apparently
authoritative kind snAs that Con
gressman Thomas W. Hardwick, of
the Tenth, who will retire from the
National House after his present
term, Is to have a Federal district
judgeship.
While it is not a matter talked
about ‘‘right out loud in meeting,” as
it were, it is known that Mr. Hard
wick is slated for Judge Emory
Speer’s present position, in the event
Judge Speer retires within the time
of the present Wilson Administra
tion.
If a new district were set up in
Georgia, moreover—and that is not
impossible—Hardwick would get .it.
The prediction that he is to have
Judge Speer’s place, however, is the
"better bet.”
Hardwick is an able lawyer, and his
nomination to this high office would
be pleasing and gratifying to thou
sands of Georgians.
East Point is recovering fnnni ono
of the most strenuous elections ill its
history, held Tuesday. Returns show-
I ed Guy W. Parker to have been
j chosen Recorder by a vote of 82.
j Pierce Oliver and C. R. Henry, his
! opponents, received 04 and 5o, re-
Police Commission Demotes ‘‘Vice na tively.
The three Aldermen elected were
C. E. Hutchinson, who succeeds him
self. 71; W. E. Orr, 122, and B. R
iui i loiiioiioii. Carroll. 104. Their opponents were J.
P. Cochran, Gi; J. S. Winn, 01; J. B.
McConnell, 59; H. E. Johnson, TO,
and S. N. Thompson, 5U.
Johnson and Thompson were run
ning on the commission form of gov
ernment platform. Despite their de
feat, it is reported that a strong ef
fort will be made to place East Point
under that government anyhow.
Squad’’ Leader Recommended
for Promotion.
.T. A. Hollis, ranking as a. patrol
man until a few hourN beforo Wed
nesday, was appointed head of At
lanta’s “vice squad" to replace J. W.
Barfield, whose removal and demo
tion created a sensation at Thursday J
night’s meeting of the Police Board, j
As Chief Beavers’ right-hand man •
in the war on evil resorts, Barfield
had made n reputation that led many .
to believe that he would be promoted
to a sergeant by the board. His dis
missal Irom the leadership of the*
vice squad, therefore, was the more
surprising and was the chief topic
of conversation Wednesday in police
circles.
Barfield was nominated and rec
ommended as sergeant by Chief
Beavers and tne action of the Police
Board was in direct opposition to his
expressed wishes. Hollis, however,
was named as second choice by the
Chief and was elected a sergeant
without dissent, being appointed head
of the “vice squad" Wednesday fore
noon.
Barfield in the future will rank as
a patrolman. The fight against him
was waged by r Chairman Mason, of
the Police Board, who told his fel
low-members that he was forced to
oppose the vice squad head because
of many' reports of dissension that
had come to him. He had understood
that the men working under Barfield
were dissatisfied with his adminis
tration and that much discoid had
resulted.
At the same time he named Bar-
field for sergeant. Chief Beavers made
the same recommendation in behaif
of Alfred 1). Luck and George A.
Maddox, roundsmen. Luck and Mad
dox were elected. Barfield’s name
was rejected by a vote of 8 to Z.
Commissioners Smith. Vernoy and
Garner cast the favorable votes. Hol
lis then whs named by Beavers in
place of Barfield ami was chosen
without opposition. The three ser
geants will begin their new duties at
once.
The election of the three sergeants
followed action by tlie Police Board
some time ago to abolish the posi
tion of roundsman. Barfield, Luck
and Maddox, because of their posi
tions as roundsmen, were consid
ered in line for promotion, but a few
days before the board meeting there
were well authenticated reports of a
strong fight being made against Bar-
field.
Barfield has been long in the po
lice service and was made a mem
ber of the’ “vice squad" at its or
ganization.
Ford Motor Agency
Leases Bigger Place
The Ford Motor Company will move
soon into larger quarters, having
leased through Forrest and George
Adair the building at No. 880 Peach
tree street, where there are two
stories affording 44,000 square feet of
floor space. The concern is now in
the Swift Building, Just south of Ivy'

A Corset That Harmonizes With
Present-Day Fashions
The new models of La Vida Corsets
are fine!
The makers seem to have caught the
underlying idea of t lit* new fashions and
have, with remarkable accuracy,
evolved corsets that fit in, that dove-tail
with the new fashions.
We hear a great deal about the new
silhouette, the new uncorseted figure;
we hear a great deal more than we find
when we come to getting the corset that
really lends itself helpfully to the im-
corseted figure.
But the La Vida people have built
these "free and easy” corsets so success
fully that we can recommend them to
our patrons with the confidence that we
shall be doing them a service.
Lu Vida Corsets are right in detail;
tlie result of thorough corset knowledge
working in harmony with the style
arbiters.
However these points, the details
that make La Vida Corsets a success are
hard to put into words; there are no de-
scribable tricks about the fashioning of
them; rather a woman likes and appre
ciates a La Vida AFTER she lias tried
one on. Then she comes to realize that
in some unusual way it fits and eon-
forms and imparts to her figure that sil
houette she would acquire. Let's say
again, that it js the result of thorough corset knowledge that'goes
into the making of every La Vida.
Light now—to the end of this week
Mrs. Marvin, An Expert Corsetiere, Is here
Demonstrating La Vidas, and women may well olok upon her
demonstration as an opportunity.
She "knows how” and she ha
and the fashions say you should b
models she uses. The variety sho
in the model right for her.
s the corsets here to fit you as you
e fitted. These are some of the
ws that any woman will be fitted
At $5.00, a brocaded corset for the
medium figure. Not an extreme line in
it, and one of the most favored models
for that reason. Low bust, medium
long skirt.
At $5.00, a coutil corset for the tall,
slender figure. Elastic front gore, soft
boning, long in the back; but the bon
ing in the back conforms to the figure
when sitting—a fact worth noting.
At $5.00, a soft coutil corset for the
medium and slender figure; free hips,
“boneless”—splendid for the dancers.
One and one-half-inch bust, long back.
The same model at $4.50 and $3.50.
At $8.50, an extra long imported
coutil corset for the medium figure that
requires a bit heavier than the ordinary
corset; elastic gored back, elastic
lacings over the abdomen. The same
in a grade at $6.50.
At $8.50, a broche corset for the me
dium figure; free hip, low bust, extra
long back.
At $9.00, an imported coutil corset
for the medium or large figure—of
superb lines—long back and full hips,
elastic lacings in front.

Handkerchiefs
There is certainly every reason why those
who give handkerchiefs should give < Tiainber-
lin-Johnson-DuBose < lompany handkerchiefs.
Take the stock, box by box, from one end
of the long counter (they occupy extra space
l’or the Christmas season) to the other, the
values are finest. We have what we call very
happy convictions over our flandkerchiel Sale
.that make it possible for us to sell these little
bits of linen at, lower prices than we could did
we have to depend upon those who buy their
handkerchiefs through New York. And, judg
ing by the crowds that hover around the hand
kerchief section, this seems to he pretty w r ell
understood. It doe3 not take a woman long to
discover where the prettiest things are!
Prices begin at 10c for all-linen handker
chiefs—the men’s size is 18 inches square!
Then come corner embroidered handker
chiefs for women at 10c. And initialed hand
kerchief’s—and the big world of novelties at
25c. (Hove handkerchiefs, unique embroidery
designs wuthout end, initials done with as
much care and neatness as if they were made
by those who will give them—and the Christ
mas boxes (of four different designs), at $1.00!
You will enjoy choosing from such a
varietv.
Two particularly
bright and interesting
spots right now are the
neckwear section of
and jewelrv and leather
goods section.
In the neckwear are
some attr active gift
boxes that are coming
in for great favor—
maybe it’s a tie,
a bow, a collar, a set,
and it my be found for
as little as 50c or as
much as $10.00. Every
one is gitly.
In the jewelry and
leather goods there i.
an infinite variety of
novelties --- vanities,
pencils, h. ooches, hair
ornaments, beads, shoe
buckles, desk sets,
traveling cases, collar
bags, drinking cups---
the list grows larger as
we name it. Let a visit

gathered for you.
