Hobbs, of New York, publisher of The Caterer, Vigorous opposition to the six ho tel-regulating bills pending in the State Legislature developed at the Friday afternoon session of the con vention, and a campaign to defeat them was started It is probable th.it every hotel man in Georgia will wo.’k against the bills between now and the next session or the Legislature, and the indications are they will be killed and a substitute offered. Special Committee Named. The fight against the bills and the drafting of the new law is tri the hands of a special committee of trav eling men and hotel proprietors ap- polnted yesterday, which was given unlimited power to act on behalf of the association. The hotel men were emphatic in their statements Friday that they do not oppose laws for the regulation of hotels, but they welcome them. They insist, however, that these laws shall be reasonable and not add to the bur dens they claim the hotel men. espo- «tally of the small towns, already are forced to bear. There Is some feature of each of the six bills that is objectionable to hotel and traveling men. It is on these features that the fight will be based. One of the bills provides for a tax on every hotel in Georgia, and this bill met with more strenuous oppo sition than any of the .others. ,T. O. Jeffcoat, of Ashburn, Ga., declarer such a tax would be burdensome to the smaller hotel owners, as the ex penses of operating are so great that any additional expense would practi cally destroy the small remaining profit. Zimmer for Inspector. The sulxstitute bill which will be drafted by the special committee and Lee Jordan, attorney for the asso ciation, will provide for the appoint ment of a Stale hotel inspector, aa the majority of hotel men seem t favor this idea. A boom for Will V. Zimmer, former manager of the Kimball House an<} owner of Kimballville Farm, for this post has been started, and it is under- *«4-«>od he will seek the place If the bill passes the Legislature. The discussion of needed legisla tion Friday was Jed by Mr. Jordan, others who »i>oke were Maroellus M. Anderson, of the travelsr*’ Protec tive Association; H. D. Shackelford, of the United Commercial Travelers, and W. S. Lounsbury, of the Georgia Travelers' Association. Many of the members of the association took part in tin* general discussion. H. N. Dutton, manager of the Pied mont Hotel, was host to the visiting hotel men with a Dutch lunch and smoker in the banquet hall of his ho tel Friday night. Although a number of the men who were on the program were unable to attend the meeting, there were others who took their places and made strikin'* addresses. School for Employees.

Many of the speakers arrived in Atlanta Thursday Jacob Miller, president of the 1. A., in whose honor local members of the association gave a banquet a the Piedmont Thursday night. It is evident enough that the rail roads are to withdraw, to all practical purposes, lh«ir mileage books in Geor gia, both Interchangeable and indi vidual, as a result of the Supreme Court’s recent affirmation of the Rail road Commission’s order promulgated a year or so ago. Interchangeable* mileage has been withdrawn entirely, In its intrastate aspect, and even individual mileage is to he sold at the maximum rate only, which, in effect, withdraws It. One or two roads among them the A R & A still will sell individual intrastate mileage at a reduced rate, but the majority of the roads will fol low the lead of the Central. It looks, therefore, very much as if the mileage-pulling warfare between the traveling men and the railroads it at an end—at least, it likely will not again take on an aggressive form soon. It may be that the traveling men will ask the Railroad Commis sion to say whether the roads, hav ing granted reduced mileage, even voluntarily, now have the right to withdraw it without the commission’s permission—but even that does not seem likely. Moreover, lust now does not appear to be a promising time to begin a war for a reduction of the maximum pas senger rate in Georgia to 2 cents—as has been threatened. The public generally seems to feel not only that the roads can not stand such a reduction, but that there i» a grave doubt whether they really are getting along as well as they should under the present arrangement. In other words, a fight against the railroads now probably would have a terrific back-kick in it. and for that reason does not appeal to the politi cians and is not at all likely to be started. It is, of course, “somebody’s move’’ iri the mileage-pulling matter, but there does not seem to be "some body” on the horizon willing to move. It 1s rather ticklish business—this “monkeying with the mileage buzz saw”—Just now, and the best bet ap parently is that the matter will be It*ft as it is for—well, for some time to come, anyway! Representative Ed Wohlwender, of Muscogee, the "very most virile” member of the Georgia Lewi stature, is !n Atlanta to-day. Mr. Wohlwender is, In some ways, the most persuasive speaker in the House, and when he begins talking about something the other members make up their minds then and there to vote for it, if only to stop the wear aud tear on Wohlwenderts lungs, which are confidently believed to be made of leather. The gentleman from Muscogee has very decided ideas about things, an 1 rarely fails to “bat over*’ whatever he undertakes. And one big reason Is that everybody likes Wohlwender, and he generally stands for level headed and sensible things only— and when he doesn’t, nobody holds it against him. Governor Slaton to-day received the following communication, by way of a postal card: • ’The largest bale of cotton on rec- Fignting, Renewed, Reported to Balking Express Messenger Club- Favor Huerta—Rebels Strike Tuxpam Also. ord in this section ha^ been ginned in Toombs County and was handled through the press here by a local cot ton concern. The bale weighed 800 , x>unds and brought the farmer $130 and the seed clear. The cotton was dry and in good condition and graded middling No record of a heavier bale is known in this section.” The Governor thinks perhaps this is the record bale of the entire State. The return of the Governor after an absence of two weeks from his offices in the Capitol brought about a wholesale rush of visitors of one sort and another, wishing some ser vice at his hands. Within an hour of his arrival in Atlanta Friday he was in the Capitol, closeted with his private secretary, and hard at work. An immense amount of correspondence had accu mulated during his absence, despite the efforts of his assistants to get as much out of the way as possible. Something like 100 letters come to the Governor every day, and a large | percentage of them require ids per j5£tt6T OT IP'llt. sonal and most discriminating atten- J MEXICO CITY D* denoe was expressed bv Government officials that the Federals would bo VERA CRUZ.

"Wove tion. Thus it happened that he and his secretaries were up against about an even thousand messages of va rious sorts, that were immediately to be disposed of. Governor Slaton is very rapid at his official labors, however, and gets rid of an immense amount of work—-par ticularly letters—in a very short space of time. At the same time, too, he is given to writing long letters rather than short ones.

NEW ORLEANS, Deo. 13.—A lene bandit who robbed the Sunset Express was sought in the country north of J New Orleans by Sheriff’s posses to day. The man obtained several pack* ages of cash, reported to contain more than $30,000. James Arnold, the express messen ger, who was knocked unconscious by a blow from the bandit’s revolver butt and thrown from the moving train, was in a serious condition in a local hospital to-day. He was unable to give a good description of the bandit. According to report made to the police, the man boarded tfre train as it was leaving New Orleans. Threat ening Arnold and the assistant mes senger with his revolver, he ordered them to produce whatever cash was In the car. When Arnold refused, the bandit struck him and then hurled him out of the car door. The assistant gave up the packages of money. Each package, the police j were told, contained $1,000. The robber swung off the train be fore It had attained full speed and disappeared. Wreck Victim Gets Verdict of $22,500 •Against Ga. R, R. Attorneys In railroad circles were discussing Saturday one of the larg est verdicts for injuries ever granted against the Georgia Railroad. It was for $22,500, awarded to .f. E. Helton, of Augusta, as a result of injuries re ceived in a head-on collision near Decatur April 18. 1912. Mr. Helton claimed damages for severe burns and injuries that caused him to undergo three oi*»rations. Eight physicians were called to tes tify concerning the injuries. The trial was hard-fought and re quired two days in the DeKalb Coun ty Superior Court The plaintiff‘was represented by E. R. Hill, of Augusta; Westmoreland Brothers, of Atlanta, and P. C.

This proposed aid to good roads, under the terms and conditions tin Federal Congress will-impose, is 1 matter of very great interest and importance to Georgia. The national Government is to extend financial aid, In co-operation with the various States and subdivisions thereof. In the matter of building and maintain ing good roads for postal purposes Georgia has been having some dif ficulty getting a satisfactory line on the work to be done, as the Federal Government will not extend aid to roads constructed either In i>art or in whole by convict labor. It Is believed, however, that some plan may be worked out whereby Georgia may participate in this fund, and it is that question the Agricul tural Committee of the Congress Is inviting Georgia representatives to discuss.

An interested audience at the Au ditorium-Armory Friday night heard a great concert by Ch&nning Ellery’s wonderful band, which was at its Best—if that fine organization ever is anything else. A brass band is exactly what the Ellery band is. for the famous band master has carefully adhered to the instruments belonging of right to that type of organization, and never has suffered himself to be led away into seeking a/tor a partial orchestra ef fect. Trumpets Instead of cornets, perhaps—but they are equally legiti mate as band instruments, with an Among them w-is | added quality of tone. Anyway, there are in this world many persons, and cultivated musi cians at that, who prefer the power ,and sweep of a big and lively band to the best efforts of an orchestra, ex cept in a few instances when the su perior tone shading of the strings Is required. But there are few pieces indeed on which the Ellery ba$d can not hold its own with the-best of the orchestra, and in its own particular field—the operatic and semi-classical selections —the Ellery band is unexcelled. Even in that wonderful symphony of Listz’s, “Les Preludes.” the big band was entirely adequate, and it stirred the Friday night audience as symphonies rarely reach ordinary gatherings. The two singers with the band were instantly popular. Thomas Wallace and Payne Young, tertoj: and baritone. Saturday, Sunday and Monday In struction Will Be Given in San itation and Health.

The next step in the campaign of the Anti-Saloon League will be taken Monday, when the Police Committee of Council will demonstrate its atti- , tude on the recent request of (he Anti-Saloon .League’and the Law En forcement League that permits ■ f locker clubs and beer saloons whose officers or owners have ever been in dicted be Tevoke . at once, and th ’t the owners or officers of locker clubs and beer saloons found to be violating the laws of Georgia be put out of business. The field officers of those bod : appeared Friday before the Poll *e Committee of Council and asked the members to recommend the above to Council at the meeting Monday. The committee also was urged not to grant any more beer or locker cluo permits. The members of the committee did not pledge themselves to make the recommendation, and it i9 understood that if they did it would not have much weight, for the reason that the meeting Monday is to be the last one of any importance in which the pres ent Police Committee will take parr. Next year the Mayor is appoint a new' committee. Members of the leagues assert that they can supply a lot of evidence against beer saloons and locker.clu'is which, they say, have violated th* law. “This evidence was read at the meeting in the Grand Opera House several weeks ago,” said the Rev. H. M. DuBose, chairman of the execu tive committee of the Georgia Anti- Saloon League. ’It shows that sev eral clubs in Atlanta have allowed persons not members to buy liquor and carry it away from the cluo- rooms. We also have evidence against saloons.” The officials who made the request of the committee were Dr. DuBos* . Dr. W. P. Lovejoy, president of the Anti-Saloon League, and J. E. Wil helm. of the Law Enforcement League. ; The Christmas Dinner. In spite of the fact that the word dyspepsia means literally bad cook, if will not be fair for many to lay tHe blame on the cook if they begin the Christmas dinner with little ap?»e tite and end it with distress or nau sea. It may not be fair for any to do that—let us hope so for the sake of the cook’ The disease dyspepsia indicates a bad stomach, that is a weak stomach rather than a bad cook, and for a weak stomach there is nothing else equal to Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It gives the stomach vigor and tone, cures dys pepsia, creates appetite, and • mak»-s eating the pleasure it should be.—Advt FOR GLASS WEARERS.
