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.

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 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 YEARS, RESINOL 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 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 Advt
