: Advises Destructor and Fire Alarm
, Companies Against “Spend
ing Money to Beat Him."
Mayor Woodward practically placed
himself wquarely In the race for re-
election Thursday when he told of re
ports of sinister efforts to oppose him.
"I have been informed from several
good source* that the Destructor
Company of New York, the builders
of the crematory, and the Okonite
Company of New York, the builder*
of the new (Ire alarm system, don't
Intend to try to make any settlement
with the city during my administra
tion, but are endeavoring to get out
some other candidate who would ap
prove the contracts.
‘Then, when my administration Is
I ver, they would get their contracts
approved without friction.
His Advice to Companies.
‘‘I have not said whether I would
or would not run for Mayor. I can
tell those companies, though, that If
they will use the money it would take
to beat me with a candidate who
would approve their contracts, in re
ducing their prices I will approve the
purchase of their plants at once, and
everything would he settled without
further worry of taking any chances."
Mayor Woi dward said that while
the last crematory contract had been
approved, no effort had been made by
the Destructor Company to get a Anal
settlement with the city. He said
the plant was not coming up to speci
fications and it would do no good to
apply to him for money until it did.
The plant Is completed and has been
burning garbage for several months
Likely To Be Big Issues.
Mayor Woodward has refused to
recognize the $106,000 moral obliga
tion contract for the fire alarm sys
tem. He has intimated that he would
pay a lump sum of $85,000 for the
system, but the Okonite Company
refuses to make a greater reduction
than 2 per cent.
Unless these two contracts are set
tled before the next election they un
doubtedly will be Important issues in
the Mayoralty election, without re
gard to the reports heard by Mayor
Woodward.

THE PLAYS
THIS WEEK
"The Girl of My Dreams" To-night.
At the Atlanta to-night "The Girl
of My Dreams” will be presented for
the first time. This musical comedy
has been given in the Important cities
for two years, but has never before
been South. It is clean ami pretty,
I with music that is about on a par
with “The Three Twins” and “Madam
j Sherry," both of which were written
lay the authors of the present piece
The comedy remains at th«* Atlanta
all the week and is certain to attract
big crowds, being the first good mu
sical play in some weeks.
"The Quaker Girl” Is Next.
Following “The Girl of My Dreams,"
the Atlanta will ofTer The Quaker
Girl” for four performance*, opening
Monday night. Scats were placed on
sale Thursday morning for the en
gagement. Practically the same com
pany seen here last year returns with
the play, with Victor Morley in the
leading role. The girl is played by
Bernice McCabe, who was brought
from lyondon for the role It is a
pleasing production in every sense
and is certain to please.
“Denver Express” Draws Crowds.
“The Denver Express,” with Its
strong dramatic scenes, wholesome
comedy and clever scenic effects, is
drawing large audiences this week to
the Bijou, and with this play the
Jewel; Keiley Company is sustaining
its well-earned reputation for putting
on excellent productions at bargain
prices. The management has select
ed for its Christmas play Hal Reid’s
drama, “A Midnight Marriage."
Miss Bunting Great as “Flotsam."
Perhaps no play presented to the
American public in the last twenty
years possesses such wonderful dra
matic force and appeals so strongly
to the human sympathies as does “The
Girl From Out Yonder.” Miss Emma
Bunting, as Flotsam, a child of the
sea, portrays a difficult character in a
most irresistible manner. She looks
more like a little boy than a little
girl, as, dressed in sou'wester, rubber
boots and rubber hat, she makes hel
appearance on the stage, and from
then on the audience lives with her,
her sorrows and trials until the happy
climax.

ITCHED FOR 20

CURED IN 10 DAYS
Baltimore. Md., July 10, 1913.—
“About twenty years ago both my legs
began to Itch from ankle to knee. Lit
tle pimples come out that looked very
much like heat. The Itching and burn
ing was something terrible. 1 would
start to scratch and could not stop. 1
would even scratch through the skin and
that, of course, would leave a sore
which 1 was compelled to bandage.
"I tried several prescriptions and
treatments, but received not a particle
of benefit no more than If the treat
ments were cold water. 1 then began
to have very little faith in anything
and, of course, could do nothing but
scratch away. After suffering con
stantly for twenty years, a friend rec
ommended Resinol Soap and Resinol
I Ointment. From the very first appll-
: ration, 1 fo\md relief, and was entirely
i cured In ten days. The Itching and

The most regrettable thing that
to-day confronts the sober
thought of Atlanta and Georgia
is the intemperate agitation of
| the temperance question by sin
cere but misguided moralists.
The intermeddling with the
best regulation of beer and liquor
traffic that organized society has
ever known, is not only prejudi
cial to good citizenship, but it j s
an offense against the business
welfare that threatens alike p r j
vate interest and the institutions
of State.
This position will he nut bv
the extreme agitator with the
declaration that tax money ami
trade funds which come directly
and indirectly through the opera
tion of locker clubs and like in
stitutions of pleasurable inter
course is neither desired nor de
sirable. Such a view is initially
and finally wrong. It has not
even a crutch on which to rest the
weakened leg of debate.
Shut up the locker clubs and
pleasure resorts of Atlanta an i
Georgia and you will take from
the asylums and public schools of
the State a valued and needed
source of income. Press down
the lid of puritanical reform, and
you will send the hip-pocket blind
tiger through the shopping dm
tricts of every city, and the back
alleys of every home. Nail tight
ly the doors of all these places
that now operate under the eyes
of the law, amenable to our
courts, and you will open subter
ranean passages from one of the
States to the other, through
which will flow the vilest coneoe
tions'that ever parched a throat
or poisoned a stomach.
Aside from the great crime of
turning neighbor against neigh
bor in unchristian war of opin
ion, the threatened fight, on
locker clubs is endangering the
business life of our city and
State. There is not a hank, a
mercantile establishment or a
factory that will not be affected
by any radical change in the ex
isting condition. And it may be
said in truth there is not an in
stitution of charity which does
not rely in a measure on this
much condemned habit of drink
which men now indulge through
licensed sale.
One writer forcefully said, in,
one of our papers a few days
ago: “A large share nf every
dollar the saloon keeper takes in
goes to help pay the cost of run
ning our prisons, police forces,
courts, hospitals, asylums and
almshouses, all of which arc sup
ported by r revenues from the
liquor business.”
The last general compilation nf
governmental expenditures is
contained in the census report of
1902. This shows that the en
tire annual expenses of the State
and local governments for chari
ties, insane and penal institutions
were then a trifle more than
$100,000,000. The. total receipts
from liquor licenses were $55,-
000,000, and the Federal internal
and customs revenue from
liquors $200,000,000 additional-
Thus the revenues from the
liquor business would pay all the
expenses of our penal and public
charitable institutions and leave
$155,000,000 for other uses. The
entire expenditures of States an j
localities for courts, military and
police, for the year 1902 were net
quite $100,000,000. Adding all
this to the expenses already giv
en, makes a total of $200,000,000
The revenue from the liquor traf
fic would pay this, too, and lea' 1
a balance of $50,000,000 for oth> -r|
purposes.
In this day of demagogic judi
cial display it seems that a coura
geous press should wield vigoH
ous pens in behalf of that sanity!
which makes for stable conserva
tism in government. The inter
of the law and the welfare of 01 |
institutions suggest no uitcrfei-
ence with the reasonably con
ducted locker club, and comnion|
justice cries out against the re
cent raiding of down-town cl'iK
whereas the authorities seen:
be blinded as to the existence."'
such up town clubs as the t a pi <'1|
City and the Athletic. The :
who will allow the law to hi j
unrighteously enforced agm' 1 '
the poor man, himself is a bre- ■■
er of that classism that mea"
anarchy. F AIRPLAY
