The spe cial committee of council appointed to devlao ways and means whereby the city can get wpat It wants and what It Is entitled to has decided to hold a meeting In the very near future and secure the services of an expert who will outline a course of action. Alderman James L. Key, chairman of the councllmanlc committee, has urged every member of the committee to familiarise himself with conditions. This has been done, and when the com mittee meets It will have the assur ance of not only the barking of a fear less, Independent newspaper working for the upbuilding of the city and In the Interest of the people, but hundreds of the people will ha,vo spoken on their own behalf through the columns of The Georgian, assuring the committee of the hearty support and sympathy which the movement has taken on. People Are Aroused. The people have become aroused to the situation. -They are wondering why It Is that Atlanta has to pay so much more for her electric lights than scores of other cities In the United States. Tho people do not understand why thsy are forced to sign a two-year con tract, obligating themselves to pay at least 82 a month whether they use electricity sufficient to consume that amount or not. They want to know how It Is that the .Georgia Railway and Electric Company can contract for Judge Pendleton De clares Church Union Unconstitutional.

Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 28.— Reports from all sections indicate that the loss to the cotton crop has been heavy. Besides reducing the grade probably half a cent, much of the cotton has been knocked from thc’bolls.

But when the people begin to figure on do Ing without electricity and going to gas they find themselves confronted with a condition where they are at the mercy of tho same corporation.

The sentences have caused a pro found sensation among the Filipinos, many of whom. Including Gomes, who Induced the surrender of the band while he was acting as a government agent, claim that the bandits were practically assured of light sentences.

The civil docket Is very light. There will be a good deal of criminal business. A bomb was thrown Into the camp of tho former Cumberland Presbyte rians, who favor union with the Pres byterian church In the United States of America, when Judge J. T. Pendle ton Friday morning handed down a de cree forbidding the unionists from tak ing any part whatever In the manage ment or control of the First Cumber land Presbyterian church of Atlanta. This la tho first serious reverse re ceived by those favoring union. They won In suits brought at Decatur, III, and Warrensburg, Mo, and got the bet ter of a decision rendered at Fayette ville, Tenn, but In Atlanta they have been absolutely turned down at every point. Judge Pendleton enjoined them on every point and In almost the exact verbnge of the temporary restraining order, and besides that, added to the order a paragraph stating that the union was In conflict with "the express provisions of their constitution." The unionists deny this construction of the court, contending that the union waa merely not authorized, but not forbid den. They declare that no church con stitution contains a clause giving It permission to dissolve Itself Into an other church. Rev. George H. Mark, pastor of the church and In favor of union, said Fri day afternoon that It was too early to make any statement whatever about the matter. Though he will not say so. It Is said that there la no doubt that the case will bo appealed to the su preme court. In fact.
