It was the consensus of opinion at the meeting of the board bf health Fri day afternoon that white labor should be used in the city sanitary depart ment in exclusion of colored labor, which is now being worked. It Is probable that this change will be made at the first of next year. This decision was reached after continuation of trouble In the sanitary department where 240 negroes are workod. For the past six months the difficulty In holding the men to their jobs has been especially trying on the heads of the department and It has been oft^i the case that there were not enough laborers to maVi the 90 wag ons used In cleaning the streetp and collecting the refuse. The only difficulty In making tha change at the present time Is the fact that the white laborers will have to be paid $1.50 whereas the negroes are be ing paid only $1.15. To take care of this difference a special appropriation would have to be made. It is lmpos stble at the present state of the city treasury. Dr. Benson, president of the board of health, said that the scum of the earth was being worked In the department and that he was sure t\' a small In lease white labor could be secured. The secretary of the board was In 8tructed to make his estimate for the coming yenr on the white labor basis. Chief John Jentzen said Saturday: “The Increase in wages will be more than made up for In the work done and the steadiness of the labor. The hange w4ll be a good one.” SECOND IN COMMAND OF SALVATION ARMY LEADS MEETING HERE Colonel William Peart, chief secre tary of the Salvation Army In Ameri ca and second In command to Miss Eva Booth, will arrive In Atlanta next week and will Wednesday night lead a special meeting at the Baptist Taber nacle.

The season has arrived when the subscription agencies will flood the country with their cut-rate magazine combination*. The average citizen hasn’t time to study these out. If he did he does not care to buy three or four inngazlnes that he does not want In. order to get a reduced price on one that he does want. These combina tions seldom suit anybody. Besides, some Hgencle* get money, turn It In to the magazines and then wash their hands of all further responsibility. If your magazines does not come It makes no difference to the average agency. The Co-operative Book Company, of 97 1-2 Peachtree street, an incorporated Institution, hacked by some of the best business men In Atlanta, has been re cently organized for the purpose of operating a subscription agency and a mall order bqok business that will be reliable, and as cheap as the cheapest They guarantee to give you the best cut rates possible on magazines, and to save you money on any book pub lished. They allow you to make your own list, and when they have received your money they guarantee delivery of your magazines. Mr. E. C. Merry, a former educator, and Professor J. L. Caldwell, well known in educational circles In several states, are In active control of the business. Atlanta people can turn their subscriptions over to them with confidence and thus not only save money, but save the trouble of sending off their remittances to other agencies and publishers, from whom they may never hear again if delinquencies are to be righted.
