3 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. Railroad Y. Ml G.

The Red Cross seals were off the streets Wednesday morning, the gen eral canvass having closed Tuesday night, though the booth in the postof fice still was maintained, and stamps 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.

Her ar rest resulted after a long watch by De tectives Moon and Kilpatrick, it is said. 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.’’ BAR CANDIDATES PASS TEST. DALTON, Dec. 24.—J*J. Copeland and | A. L.
