Gov, Harris Begins
lon Sat
Vacation Saturday
Following the strenuous campaign
just closed, Governor Harris will take
a vacation for several weeks. He an
nounced Friday he would leave At
lanta Saturday and probably would
take an automobile trip.
While he had not definitely decided
where he was going, it was understood
he would spend some time at his
summer home in East Tennessee,
“l remember when,” said Detect
ive Newport Lanford Friday, ‘“the
city furnished my men with street
car fare to aid in their efficiency on
hurry-up calls, but that was before
hard .times came knocking at the
City Hall door.
“Now these detectives must either
pay out from 35 to 50 cents of their
own money each day chasing petty
and other classes of criminals from
one end of this big city to the other,
or walk ten or twelve miles in the
performance of their duty. y
“There was a time when the street
car conductor recognized the detect
ive’s badge as fare in hand, but now
an officer must wear blue coat, brass
buttons and a brilliant star of au
thority before the traction company
will haul him free. Two weeks ago
the city stopped furnishing fare books
on account of the hard-boiled-egg
condition of the treasury.
“We are furnished one Ford for the
use of twenty-two detectives. Sup
pose hurry calls came from different
directions of ghe city at one time.
If it happened to be burglars at both
places, at least one would have a
good lead before the flivver could
call at both ports; if it is a crap
game there would be enough time
to make a dozen or more profitable
passes.”
The chief sets forth that the city is
not to blame, for the city has no
funds, but a score or more of de
tectives hope that something will Iy
done to nip off ten or twelve miles os
their day’s walk,
Mayor Turns Down
Carfare for Sleuths
Mayor Woodward Friday took’ a
firmer seat on the lid of the city
treasurer while city employees wailed
louder their dscontent. The Mayor
seemed to thoroughly enjoy the situ
ation,
Councilmen Edward H. Inman and
Edwin F. Johnson and Police Com
missioner A. R. King went before the
Mayor with two requests. They want
ed S2OO for trolley car. tickets for de
tectives and some $250 to employ ex
tra policemen for the Southeastern
Fair. The Mayor made this blunt re
ply:
“We haven’t got the money. Coun
cil spent it all early in the year, and,
you know, I tried to keep you from
doing it.”

o
at-Cross in
t Willi
Everything in the orld, almost,
happened to William Thomas, includ
ing being shot in the heel, which is
popularly supposed to be fatal to
persons of William's race, color and
previous condition of sevitude. And
still William is living—in a cell at
the police station, with a bullet-hole
through his right lung, two stab
wounds in the same organ, and the
aforesaid ghastly puncture of the
right heel.
William killed his sweetheart,
Louise Wood, a little over a week
ago, and then attempted to destroy
himself. His efforts resulted in the
three wounds to his lungs. He was
taken to the Grady Hospital in a pre
sumably dying condition.
Thursday night William was worse.
He Wwas_so near dead that they didn't
consider it needful to have a guard
set for him, although there was a
warrant out for his arrest, charging
murder,
William heard about the warrant.
It galvanized Willlam. William got
up out of that bed and went away
from there in his nightie. William
burglarized one house and got a suit
of clothes. He burglarized another
house and procured a hat. And Wil
liam, when accosted by Officer. Rob
erts at the corner of Auburn avenue
and Bell street, it out from there
and was making the dust fly—was
stepping fast and far, when a bullet
from the officer's gun winged, or rath
er heeled him.
And now they don't know just what
to think of Willlam’s chances.

M. A
Margoles,
Manager,
New Definitior
Here's a new definition of the true
Atlantan. It comes from Judge A) W.
Cozart, the Columbus lawyer, who
told Atlanta Ad Men Thursday at
their luncheon what they were in
these words:
“In making an analysis of the true
Atlantan, ! find that he is a composite
being. He iz robust, but not to boor
ishness. He is refined, but not to fas
tidiousness. He has the fortitude of a
Puritan, the ingenuity and frugality
of the East Tennesseean, the quick
step of a New Yorker, the bright eye
and the high head of an Aguinaldo,
and the just and righteous pride of
seventeen peacocks. He is never at
rest unless he is in motion, yet he
never feels quite at home when he is
abroad. This is the being who has
made Atlanta famous. This is the
being who has divided all Georgians
into just two classes—those who live
in Atlanta and those who want to.”
