Till; ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
SEAL CAMPAIGN ENDS;
1912 RECORD BROKEN
And now, with due regard for the
feelings of the sensitive ones who had
names wished on them in their early
>!>uth without their knowledge and
vnsent, we appear with the annual
rectory »torv, a collection of more
r less fascinating facts and figures
.at offer some excuse for the well-
cnown slang question: “Who’d
a-thunk it?”
The 1914 issue of the Atlanta city
lirectory has been overhauled, keel
hauled and manhandled to make a
Punster’s Holiday, and such pecu-
isrities a a may have been found by
he exploring expedition are duly set
forth.
At first glance the volume would
Appear to be a pretty staid and sober
book, but you look at page 635 and it
:c noted that Allen Booze is a bar-
tender at the Central Club, an insid
ious doubt begins to form in your
mind.
It’s a Long Book, Too.
And by staying on the subject it
might be suggested’ that one of the
thirteen Boozers in the book gets
some of the Money, of which there
re four; then he might turn to page
14 and get some of the Cash—there
31 there—and turn it over to John
■ ('ashman, who is a traveling sales
man, of No. 276 Luckie street.
Mr. Cashman might call then on
ne of the five Barrs who are on
age 594, and ask for one of the three
Beers for Thomas Dry. who runs the
Hemphill Avenue Pharmacy. And
• ten ihere's a William Drinkard, too,
; No. J 68 South Forsyth street.
The directory is a rather Long af-
• air. too. with Its 38 Miles, one Fur-
mg and one Yard. And its division
■ ' lime is rather peculiar, with 7
Weeks, 42 Days and 52 Knights, and
mv a Year nor a Month.
Religious Statistics.
The publisher’s preface says there
re 220,372 people in Atlanta now, and
•t glance through the pages of the
volume shows they arc of all sorts
nd conditions from High to Low
ud from Rich to Poor.
' harles Aaron, a plasterer at No.
in irwin street, is the first name in
iic book, and Benjamin Zweibel, a
ink dealer at No. 313 East Hunter,
loses the volume.
The directory ought to be a great
volume for those who are religiously
inclined. In Its pages they'll find
12 Lords, 4 Angels and 2 Gabriels,
with 2 Horns; 69 Popes. 72 Rishops.
Bible. 2 Saints. 6 Monks. 1 Preacher.
4 Priest s and William, who is Priest -
1 Deacon, 1 Elder, 12 Parsons, 1
Noble Parsonage. 5 Parishes, 1 Sab-
ath. 5 Temples. one of them a
French Temple; 15 Churches, one of
lem a Royal Church and another an
Ernest church; 3 Chapels, 2 Chap
lins. 3 PeWs, 5 Singers.
Then there are 58 Christians in At-
mta, five who are Good and five who
nre Devine. And likewise there is 1
Sinor and 4 Hellers, not, to mention
r- r* o pages of Bells and only 5 Rings.
All Kinds of Weather.
There’s lots of weather In the di-
? ry, too There’s E. W. Blizzard,
works for the Atlanta Telephone
npany; Miss Blow, a trained
i! irse; John Cold, of No. 22 Leach
ireet; Maurice Frost, a salesman;
(■ ver Gale, a carpenter, and there’s
a lso a Rain and some Rains, and
'here’s a Raindrop and quite a hit
Rainwater.
It seems as though I/evi Turnip-
cd. who works at High’s, could be
nplanted here very nicely, right aft
er all the rain.
And maybe the casual seeker would
■ok through pages of Moons and get
sentimental. But why not let Clinton
B Amorous, of No. 78 Forrest ave-
ie and call William C. Dear, of No.
Holderness street, or J. G. Darling,
v o is cashier of the Dahl Floral
' ompany?
Then they could dll on Ernest, who
s one of three Lovemans. and then
»:•> watch William G. Loving, who Is
a lawyer.
And maybe I ould see Nathan
linger, tou, a grocer at No. 139
Flo kwell street, and after that there
- Carl, who is Lovingood.
Eight Remain Loveless.
\nd although Charles Spooner, an
-sistant State entomologist, might
te|p a little with Eugenic Love, a
indress, or some of the 46 other
ves in the directory, nothing that
' "iild be done could prevent eight
from being Loveless. And in the
> me breath there might be men-
: oned P. W. Greatheart. a teacher;
■ ne Heart, a laundress, and Frank
s ’ ' ef, a grocer at No. 67 Ella street.
Vnd. speaking baseballicallv, there’s
Balk living at No. 37 Westwood,
twenty or more Balls, hut no
1 i’s although many are Battey. And
1 ■ He we’re about it we might let
! mes and John Bawl, too.
There is a Biblical section, also, the
rectory having a Bum Garden, who
v i carpenter, and four Edens. Like-
se there are a number of Adams
n one Eve, which is also all there
in the beginning.
Abel and Cain are there, too. Fred
• being a shipping clerk and Cain
g i driver. And Cain’s first
mi is Abel. There are a number
other Biblical characters, also,
arias Job being a pattern maker
N". 180 Luckie street; Carl Luke,
I'sman; Moses Matthew being a
’■or at the gfcs works, and John
■•s collecting for a downtown
, ,r ‘ And therd is a Peter, whose
;lr ’ name is Petite.
Pugilists Are Here, Too.
- *nr], speaking of pugilists, Jim
•ott lives at No. 189 AVest Hun-
-■nd there are a number of Mills
Battles, likewise a few Rings, a
nd a Fite, not to mention a
r whose first name is Sam.
Ars-i there’s a J. J. Jeffries, who is
■ on the Southern Railway, and
• a k Johnsons, pll negroes. And
'here's John Box. who puts up
t No. 276 \Villiams street,
may not mean anything, of
and probably doesn’t, but
Economy runs a restaurant on
street, and James Drum is
'Rician. Then there’s Herbert
,,v ho is a collecfoj* and lives at
1 1 Cherokee street, and Rufus
I 1 is a carpenter, i
°h Pye is a baker at No. 48
street, and Anthony Raindrop
• sprinkling wagon. Jim Bled-
' ( n engineer and carpenter,
o cap the climax, Frank Cnm-
1 r; ? and Randall Going are drivers
' same concern.
’ find also that Robinson Crusoe
is secretary of the Southern Guaran
tee and Loan Company, and lives at
No. 81 East Ninth street. It was im
possible to find a Friday, but there is I
a Mundav living at No. 449 Glenn
street, whose first name is W. C.
And while there is a Shakespeare
living at No. 65 Chapel street, there
is also Hamlet, who is a barber at
No. 42 West Mitchell street.
And a search of the directory will
knock all your preconceived notions
of what great men are doing and who
they are into a cocked hat. For in
stance:
Stonewall Jackson is there three
times, and each time he is colored.
Andrew Jackson is the same way,
only there are five of him.
Robert E. Lee is listed four times.
Martin Luther is a printer and
lives at No. 138 Grant street.
Bismarck a Tailor.
John Wannamaker is a tailor at
the Muse Clothing Company.
George Washington is treated the
same way at Stonewall Jackson.
John Quincy Adams is a clerk at
No. 480 Whitehall street.
Bismarck Is a tailor at No. 119
Glennwood avenue.
Daniel Boone is a collector for J.
M. High Company.
William C. pryant. is a £tate oil
inspector.
John Bunyan is a driver, and
doubtless makes good progress.
Grover Cleveland is a clerk at No.
20 Currier street.
David Crockett is a soda clerk and
lives in Capitol View.
And in closing it might be men
tioned that while there are no Lyes
or Story's in the directory there are
four Yarns.

The Red Cross seals were off the

night, though the booth in the postof

could be had at most of the big stores.
While the results of the 1913 sale
will not be known accurately foi* some
days, two things are sure. The million
mark was not reached, but the sales are
ahead of those of last year. It is be
lieved. however, that the per capita
sales will he relatively higher in several
other Georgia cities than in Atlanta.
Eight members of the Boy Scouts
turned out to help the sales the last

The new Municipal Court of Atlanta
will be made the object of a deter
mined attack from the justices of the
peace who will be ousted January 1
by the incoming tribunal, according to
statements made by the law firm of
Gober A Jackson, who have been re
tained by a number of the justices 'o
lead their fight. Two other justices.
W. T. Jordan and G W Seeley, will
make separate attacks on the new
court.
Although none of the Justices *-r
their attorney* will gt\ ; e any Inkling
of their plana, it is generally under
stood in court circles that the ieg.il
action will be brodght in the Federal
Gourt, since the Justices and their
attorneys consider their strongest
rard the allegation that the new court
violates rhe Fourteenth Amendment
to the Federal Constitution.
it is thought probable that an in
junction to prevent the ne# court
from organizing and starting its work
will be asked, which would allow the
old justices of the peace to remain in
office until the case Is finally set (led.
Justices Seeley and Jordan, while
they will base their fight also on the
alleged constitutional violation, will
depend more largely for success up m
the assertion that their territory is
partly in and partly out of the city
limits, and that therefore they are not
affected by the new court.
“It will take an injuction to pre
vent me from running my court,' said
Justice Jordan. “I shail continue ;o
operate after January 1 just as I am
operating now, and I don’t believe they
will make any effort to stop me."
Justice Seeley declared that he
would lake the same stand.
“My fight against the new court,”
Justice Jordan continued, “is in the
hands of attorneys and will he
pressed. We shall make a number of
allegations in our petition, among
them that the epurt is unconstitution
al because it proposes to discrimi
nate. For instance: If a person lives
outside of the city and brings a suit
against a person living in Atlanta, it
will cost the non-resident $3. But if a
person living in the city brings a suit
against a person living outside of the
city, it costs the plaintiff nothing.’’
