MAYOR OPENS FIGHT T
GIVE NORTH SIDE HOMES
. PROTECTION FROM F
FORREST ADAIR TO CRY
DOLLS FOR XMAS FUND
PRDHIBITID
# FORREST ADAIR.
Mayor Woodward declared Wed
nesday that the burning of the mag
nificent Winecoq home in Ansley
Park showed clearly that section of
the city must have a fire engine house
and that he would drudge an appro
priation for one before the Finance
Committee iq January.
Not only does that section ne"ed
a fire engine house, but It is without
fire alarm boxes, despite the fact that
the new fire alarm system is said to
be complete,” said Mayor Woodward.
“We need a fire station in that sec
tion and one out in the western sec
tion of the city as soon as they can
possibly be built. Lots already have
been purchased and one or more of
these stations must be built next year.
“Other sections are urging rffire en
gine houses, but these must be built
first.”
Humphrey to Lead Fight.
Mayor Woodward said he read the
editorial in The Georgian urging an
engine house and equipment at once
and that the appeal struck the right
note.
Councilman W. G. Humphrey, of
the Eighth Ward, and chairman of
the Finance Committee, Insisted the
first of the year that an appropriation
be made for a station in that section
of the Eighth Ward. Tn the switching
of appropriations, however, only
enough motiey to buy a lot was left
in the budget. Councilman Humphrey
will lead a fight next year for the
new station.
Protests from citizens o; that sec
tion, where many of the most beau
tiful residences in the South are lo
cated, that for a house to catch fire
meant that it would be destroyed be
cause of lack of protection, have b^en
of little avail in getting action from
Council.
Now that a $100,000 home lias gone
up in smoke as a sacrifice tiie sta
tion is likely to be built within a
sliort time.
Citizens Are Arousea
The residents are so aroused over
what they consider ■ discrimination
against them that they are ready to
go before the Council Finance Com
mittee in a body and insist on a new
station.
Also they will demand that fire
alarm boxes be placed over the area
as soon as possible.
Other beautiful homes have been
consumed by fire just as the Wine-
coff home was. before the firemen
ever reached the scene. Men from
the North avenue station, the near
est one to that section, said that the
flames had burst through the top df
the Winecoff home before they came
in sight of it. They had to make a
run of about fifteen Jocks. When
they got ‘here, there was not enough
men and equipment to check the
flame*

WEST POINT,-Dec. 10.—Both the
“lovers” were wounded and another
barely escaped a bullet in the head
when Jack Morgan, the “villain” in
“The Northern Light,” a “meller
drammer,” used a revolver loaded
b ill< t$ instead of blank
cartridges during a tent show by the
c. YV. Parks Dramatic Company here
last night.
And the thousand spectators

Mi - Nellie Wood and W. P. Mon-
i ief. the ‘“lovers,” fell to the stage
Moor as the shots rang out. the former
with a bullet in a leg and the latter
with one in a foot.
Miss Margaret Tucker, leading
w oman, was saved from being shot
by her w r ealth of hair. A bullet burn
ed her scalp.
The w ounding of the actors did not
become generally known unil this
morning. None of the wounds is con
sidered . serious,. but it will be some
time before the actors can resume
their parts.
The shooting, it is explained, was
. due io a mistake of a stage hand in
’roBVding the “Desperate Desmond” the
wrong gun. The, shootings was at the

BANQUET FOR HARRISON.
KNOXVILLE. Deo. 10.—Fairfax
Harrison, new', president of the South
ern. itg.ilw&y, has accepted an invita
tion from the Knoxville Board of
Commerce to be the guest, of honor at

Women Entertainers
LONDON- Dec. 10.—The Duchess of
Devonshire is downcast at the prospect
of the visit of the King and Queen at
Chatsworth.
The program, which promises to be a
very dull affair, has several times been
revised by Queen. Mary. She has cen
sored Mrs. Hope White's evening of
palmistry and legerdemain and several
other proposed entertainments because
she was afraid the King would be
brought in contact with certain women
to whom she objects.
Macon Is Likely to
Abolish Old Market
MACON, Dec, 10.—One of Macon's
landmarks, the market house on Pop
lar street, likely will be abolished be
fore the end of next year. City
Council voted last night to ask D e
Legislature for permission to call in
the market house bonds and demolish
the structure.
This action was taken in pursuance
to a petition signed by hundreds of
citizens who claim the marke.t house
idea is antiquated and useless.
II. S. CAPITOL
WASHINGTON. Pec 10 Tarry
ing banner* inscribed “For God, For
Country and For Home.'’ 1,000 dele
gates of the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union and the
Anti-Saloon League stormed Con-
gresa to-day, demanding a constitu
tional amendment providing for na
tion-wide prohibition.
Among those who marched on Con
gress were Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, of
Portland, Maine, president of the W.
C. T. U.; Miss A. A. Gordon, of Ev
anston, Ill.; Mrs. F. P. Parks, of
Evanston, 111.; Mrs. Elizabeth Hutch
inson. of Wichita, K&ns . Mrs. Mary
H. Armor, of Atlanta, Ga.. and Mrs.
Ella Boole, of New* York.
The women also demand legislation
prohibiting moving picture producers
from showing the interior
“because of the decadent idea of sug
gesting intoxication to the minds of
the young." A stricter censorship of
moving pictures is also urged.
The women posed on the steps of
the Capitol for moving pictures, after
which addresses on the need of pro
hibition were made.
Texan to Introduce Bill.
The delegates packed the wide mar
ble steps leading to the east entrance
of the Capitol and overflowed to the
plaza below’. The women were massed
at the left and the men at the right.
The thermometer was hovering
around the freezing point and many
of the more elderly delegates were
forced to retire to the interior of the
Capitol to keep warm.
President Baker, of the Anti-
Saloon League, introduced Senator
Sheppard, of Texas, who said;
"On behalf of Representative Hob
son and myself I accept the honor of
Introducing into both houses of Con
gress a bill for nation-wide prohibi
tion as a sacred trust. 1 am and al
ways have been a foe of the liquor
traffic.”
Representative Hobson did not
speak on account of a cold.
Declaring that the liquor traffic in
“prohibition States" is continuing
with almost the same intensity as be
fore the legislation against it, former
Governor Patterson of Tennessee de
manded national action against the
liquor evil.
Takes Up Fight.
Mrs. Armor, the last speaker, de
clared that the W. C. T. U. “intends
to keep up the fight against saloons
until every one In the country is
wiped out of existence."
The 2,000 shivering men and wom
en then made a rush for the near st
lunch rooms for hot coffee
Loud Bell Annoys
. Town's Old Rival
MILLER. S. DAK.. Dec. 10—After ear
nest rivalry for more than 30 years be
tween this town and St. Lawrence, the
latter place has finally "put one over”
on Miller.
In placing a bell in their new school
house, the St. Law’rence people got one
that rings scr loudly that it easilv can
be heard in Miller. When the air is
right the sound from that bell almost
drowns the tones of the local bell.

That awful sourness, belching of acid
and foul gases; that pain in the pit of
the stomach, the heartburn, nervous
ness, nausea, bloating after eating, feel
ing of fullness, dizziness and sick head
ache, means your stomach is sour—your
live? is tcYrpid—your bowels constipated.
It isn't your stomach’s fault—it isn’t
indigestion—it's biliousness and consti
pation. Try Gascarets; they sweeten
the stomach, remove the sour, ferment
ing food and foul gases; take bile from
the liver and carry off the constipated
waste matter from the bowels. Then
your stpmach trouble is ended. A Cas-

For a long time tlie South led
