of the city council called W e.lncs-
C Cy Mayor Woodward to consider
^.ommunlcatlon of President Milton
it Smith, of the Louisville and Nash-
JL railroad, and to take action In the
C„™ard underpass matter. The first
wd on the table; the second was
-nt to committee. ...
The communication from President
Emith was sown broadcast throughout
the business section of Atlanta and
„,ed that the ordinance pertaln-
22? to the East Hunter street railroad
vsrds be amended according to the
Sirs desired In the communication.
These suggestions permitted five or
Si openings on Hunter street Instead
It three as the ordinance allows. The
fitter was laid on the table, so for
he present the Louisville and Nash-
tfUewlll have only the three open-
"fn connection with this matter Mayor
Woodward stated In a communication
to council that the spirit being shown
bv the railroad was evident In the
Boulevard underpass matter, and that
President Smith was attempting to dic
tate to the council.
Contractor Oude, who was the lowest
bidder by about *6,000 tor the city’s
nortlon of the underpass, states In a
communication that be could not car
ry out his contract as the Louisville
and Nashville delayed Its work so long
that It would be Impossible to finish
the underpass before late In the win
ter when It will be more expensive to
carry on the work.
In this connection Mayor Wood
ward, on advice of City Attorney May-
son, proposed to council!
"First, That Mr. Oude and his bonds
man be not relieved of their responsi
bility, but be compelled to carry out
their part of the contract In good
^"Second, In the event that Gude &
Company does not go ahead with Its
work of carrying out their contract
that the city government proceed with
the work and hold Oude & Company
and their bondBman responsible for any
difference that may occur In the cost.
’Third, That as Oude * Company
give as their excuse for not being able
to carry out the work the delay occa
sioned by the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, then I suggest that If It Is
possible, said company be held Jointly
responsible for the delay In the work."
Tht matter was referred to the com
mittee on streets, whlctvwlll meet and
make a report to be considered at the
regular meeting of council Monday
next.
councilman Roberts Introduced an
ordinance placing rentrlction on res
taurants somewhat similar to those on

to committee. If It Is passed It wilt
be necessary to obtain permission o'

STAIESMEN A T BARBECUE
NOMINATE JACK SLATON
There were songs by the Roses, Jigs
by Joe Halt amt Henry RevJJI, and Jack
Slaton was nominated for governor at
the barbecue given to the members of
the general assembly at Cold Springs
Wednesday afternoon by Speaker Sla
ton of the house and President West
of the senate
At 2:40 o'clock cars were boarded at
the Mitchell street entrance of the cap-
Itol, and the members of the senate
and house immediately tumbled from
their dignity and proceeded to have a
good time. There were all mojmer ol
good things to eat In preparation when
the party reached the 'Cue Club, but
they fell on several kegs of beer with
a vengeance and kept a score of ne
groes busy, as well as two or three
hundred glasses. Suffice it to say
that good cheer was rife and the mem
bers had a time of times.
After eating an abundant amount ol
Brunswick stew and barbecued lamb
and pork, a large number of those
present, and strange to say, the most
dignified members of the house and
senate, gathered on .the terrace near
the pavilion and for a half hour or
more joined with great zest in sing
ing old-time songs.
The Jigs that were danced In the pa
vlllon and the several speeches by Mr.
Smith, of Greene, added greatly to the
entertainment <>f the aftenmnn.
The entire affair was a great success
and at the conclusion of the barbecue,
Jack- Slaton was nominated for gov
ernor by a unanimous vote of those
present.

STATESMEN AND POLITICIANS
Senator J. B. Ware bears a striking
resemblance to pictures of Horace
Greeley.
The "military committee” of the sen
ate la quite aa famous a constellation
of congenial good fellows as the
’Smokers’ Club” of the house.
Often after the senate has adjourn
ed comes the announcement: -
"The military committee will Imme
diately assemble."
And If you’ve a mind to observe you
will see a group detach itself, form
Into an orderly body, and march out
of the capitol. Further than this we
,do not proposo to follow them.
Congressman Gordon Lee of the Sev
enth district was at the. capitol Wad.
nesday and paid a visit to the senate,
of which body he was formerly a
member. *
He waa questioned as to an Inter
view a few daya ago In the Chatta
nooga Times In which he stated that
the Georgia legislature Is an abler body
than the nntlnnal house of representa
tives. He acknowledged the Corn;
"1 did say It, but didn’t think that
newspaper chap would quote me. I
do think that the Georgia general as
sembly Is a very nble body of men,
and Is doing some fine work.”
Congressman Lee has "made good”
In congress, and Ills district haa every
faith In the capacity and faithfulness
of the young Chlckamaugnn.

To which the senate retorts that the
house ought never 1 to have been elect
ed.
' Which would Indicate that the two
bodies are not enamored of each other.
There are few better fellows or more
popular men In the senate than Stan
ley Bennet, of tho Seventh district. He
Is reckoned one of the really strong
men of'the upper house.
Representative Singletary nailed the
lid down snug and tight on the Judge-
ship of the city court of Cairo Wed
nesday, when tho senato passed his
bills to Incorporate the city of Cairo
and abolish the county court of Grady.
Judge Jones, of the county court of
Grady, was at the rapltnl Wednesday
and some one linked how lie iimniigril
to let Singletary slip up on him.
"Oh, that’s all right," was tho laugh
ing reply. "Singletary Won’t get the
Job until April, and by that time I'll
have him In the gang. Moreover I've
already uecured the governor s prom-
