WHITE' MS FOR
250 FROM MILLS
New Buildings Ready Soon After
January 1, but Leases on Broad
Street Houses Continue.
A dozen—mayb* thirteen—produce
firms are to move off Soufii Broad
street goon after the first of the year,
and there is a good deal of wonder as
to what sort of district that busy sec
tion will develop next, after the pro
duce men have taken up their new
stations along Produce roA\ between
Washington street and Central ave
nue.
The sixteen buildings—three sto
ries, elevators, done in concrete—
won’t be ready by January 1, it seems.
But they will be ready as soon there
after as possible, and when they are
ready the produce men will have to
start paying rent on their reserva
tions, whether they move in or not.
That rather complicates things.
.Some of the leases on the present
stands run eight months into 1914.
Some of them run longer. Some of
the produce men have leases that will
run two or three years.
Hard to Sublet Stores.
Just now they are trying to sublet
the stores.
“But it’s a tough job." one produce
dealer satd Saturday. “These buildings
are not in good shape. 1 don’t se£
hat sort of business aside from ours
i ould be carried on in them.”
There is an idea, fairly prevalent,
that the owners of the present pro
duce stands will eventually put up
handsome and substantial buildings
and strive to make South Broad street
big retail thoroughfare, on the
Whitehall street plan. But whether
they will start his work before the
present leases expire—that is anoth
er question, and one the owners are
not disposed to discuss freely.
The produce men are engaged just
now in trying to settle on a date when
they could move in a body.
Large Firms Involved.
"I understand the new ‘row'’ won’t
be ready for occupancy before March
1,” said one dealer. “My idea is that
all the boy* ought to go together;
there’s no system in splitting up the
territory, as would be the case if they
moved a few at a time. Personally.
I’d rather pay rent at the new place
after it is ready and stay on here
until the bunch goes. My lease runs
until next Vail.”
The produce men involved in the
prospective move are McCullough
Bros., the Williams-Thompson Com
pany, Bell Bros., Baisden & Co., th“
Gailmand-Cheves Company. the
Barnes-Faiu Company, the Fidelity
Fruit and Produce Company, A. Fu-
gazzi. the Southern Produce Compa
ny, Wigt, Davis & Co., the McMillan
Produce Company. Conley & Ennis,
Porter Bros, and West Bros.
Among the property owners are
j Frank Coker. Mrs. John Broomhead,
the Murphy estate, John Dickey, Jr.,
Alverson Bros, and the Gus Ryan es
tate.

Potatoes for Poor
Tickets to Cantata
S ED ALIA. MO., Dec. 27.—Ope po
tato was the admission price to a

The audience obeyed Rev. R. L. An
derson’s request that large potatoes
be brought, and 12 bushels of spuds
were distributed to the city's poor.
Poor Children Are Guests of Little
Folks at the First Methodist
Church.
To-day 250 poor children of At
lanta are wondering if the “white
Christmas” given to them Friday by
the children of the First Methodist
Church was a dream. But then they
have toys and other gifts to testify
to its reality.
The First Methodist children are
correspondingly happy over the suc
cess of their novel entertainment,
which was the first of its kind in At
lanta. Each child was a "personal
Santa” to some less fortunate little
brother or sister from the mill dis
trict, and they enjoyed their roles as
much as their guests.
The “white Christmas” is symboli
cal of an ancient legend in which all
the people bring white gifts to the
King or Christ Child. The lecture
room of the fehurch, in which the en
tertainment was given carried out the
idea, being decorated in cotton, which
gave a snowy effect.
Several'Christmas trees were cov-
ered with silver tinsel. Incandescent
lights among the decorations made
the syene brilliant.
The children from the Sheltering
Arms, the Atlanta Woolen Mills and
the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills oc
cupied chairs, w hile the Sunday school
« hildren sat on the floor. A1 i joined
in carols, after which “The Story of
Christ” was read by Dr. W. W. Mem-
minger, pastor of All Saints Church.
The little hosts and hostesses then
distributed well-tilled stockings to the
poor ’children and served them with
refreshments.
The “w hite Christmas” lasted from
3 o’clock to 5.
Man Smothered by
Paint When Both Fall
CHICAGO, Dec. 27. George W. Riggs,
president of a large manufacturing con

his home, smothered to death by the

Inconscious, Riggs lay in the tub

Girl 'Love Slave's'
Brother Helps Her
MONTICELLO, N. Y., Dec. 27.—As
the result of the pathetic pleas made
by her, Herbert Branch to-day said
that he would aid in every way his
sister, Adelaide M. Branch, who is a
voluntary prisoner in the county jail.
The brother, who is postmaster at
Hartwick, was bitter in his arraign
ment of M. H. Couch, the dead law
yer, who for three years kept his sis
ter as his slave in a little room off his
office. He blamed Couch for his sis
ter’s downfall, and declared that his
tragic death w r as a just retribution.

REJECTED If
Mrs. Deaton, Alleged Victim,
Fails to Impress Recorder
and Is Fined $25.75,
The "poisoned needle” story fan,,
to make any impression upon Record
er Broyles Saturday, even though ;
lated with many protestations of Vs
truthfulness by Mrs, Mattie Deaton
of Charlotte, N. C„ in explanation ot
her queer actions on Peachtree street
Friday afternoon.
The Recorders only comment in
imposing a $25.75 fine was that th»
name of the fair defendant should n u
be Deaton, but, rather, Munchausen
as the relict of that famous prevari
cator.
A{rs. Deaton impressively told th*
court that she had arrived f r , m
Charlotte on Friday and that while
she was walking through the Ter
minal Station she felt a sharp «tiiig
on her arm.
"I dropped my suit ca„« to th*
floor,” she said, “and right there at mv
side was a young man. He picked the
suit case up for me, and after that I
don't know what happened, your hon-
or.”
She might have been at Five Point*
Friday afternoon, as the officers
charged, where she made efforts 'o
flirt with a number of men. Maybe
it was so. She couldn’t remembiir a
thing that happened after receiving
that mysterious "«ting” in the arm
"Let me see your arm," demanded
the Recorder. It showed no signs f
the "poisoned needle."
"I guess you've been reading -he
sensational stories about the "need!,
men’ in New York.” he said. Inves
tigation disclosed that the woman had
arrived in Atlanta not on Friday, but
several weeks ago.

itched and I began to scratch it. It
itched so that sometimes I could not
sleep at night. I was suffering very
much. I used — salve and .
but they did not seem to help me. This
went on for six or seven months. Then
I tried Redjnol Ointment and Resinol
Soap. I used them one night. In the
norning, to my surprise, my hand was
all well and the trouble has never re
turned. This is the absolute truth."
