A CANDIDATE
OF THE PEOPLE
T. M. POOLE
Robert Maddox, president of a land com-
pany, a director of the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company, wants to be county commis
sioner to pass on his affairs. Does the Mad
dox bank want the earth? Mr. Peel, his partner,
is chairman Of the city’s sinking fund that holds
all the city securities for the redemption of her
bonds. His cashier, Mr. Peeples, is city treas
urer. Does the city and county want to turn
over their affairs to them in full'or in part? I
am a candidate of the people and if elected will
represent the people.

CALLING FOR LIQUOR
The mayor's office Is a busy place
these days.
Committees, citizens with advice,
those seeking advice, saloon men chaf
ing to have their places of business
npen, letters from ail over the country
sad many other like matters give the
third floor of the city ball a regular
bargain day appearance.
One of the many things which calls
for the mayor's attention Is the signing
of prescriptions This Is something
new, but none the less important, that
Is to the minds of those In quest of
whisky “for medicinal purposes."
Friday and Saturday an endless num
ber of prescriptions were, signed. This
Is necessary before any medicine con
taining spirituous liquors can be ob
tained from any reliable pharmacy.
The legality of this move has not
been questioned as It Is the will of the
people that the lid be down hard and
tight until there la some permanent
settlement as to the all Important whis
ky traffic.
Mayor Woodward said that he nev
er knew so many sick people to be In
Atlanta before at one time. “Every
one seems to have an ailment and
tvhlsky seems to be the panacea."

PLATE GLASS DOOR
SHATTERED BY STORM.
Specliil to The Georgian.
Anniston, Ala., Sept. 29.—The storm
which swept the Southern states with
such fury did not omit Anniston from
the places visited, and considerable
property damage was done here by,the
high wind. The highest velocity re
corded at the local weather bureau
station was 28 miles per hour, and tele
phone and telegraph lines suffered In
consequence. A pJAte glae* door In the
front of the Murphy-Rhudy Furniture
Company, on Noble street, was shatter
ed at the height of the gale.
”Dkl we know the Ah Fong girls?”
"Why, of course. All army and navy
men know tho Ah Fengs. And they
are swell lookers, too.”
Officers at Fort McPherson remem
ber very distinctly the daughters of
Wing Ah Fong, afterwards Mr. Atong,
who died In Chinn a few days ago and
left a fortune estimated at between
#10,000,000 and $30,000,000.
Onp officer of the Seventeenth mar
ried one of them, Lieutenant Andrew
J. Dougherty, who joined the Seven
teenth In 1899 while the regiment was
stationed In Luzon, stopped In Hono
lulu a few days on his way. He met
Martha Muriel Afong, reigning belle
of Honolulu, and when the regiment
left the Philippines he brought Mrs.
Martha Muriel Dougherty to the Uni
ted States with him. Lieutenant Dough
erty was transferred to the Twenty-
eighth Infantry In 1901 and has never
been with the Seventeenth since It was
sent to Fort McPherson. His regiment
Is now at Fort Snelllng, Minn.
"And Andrew ought to come Into a
nice little fortune," said one officer
Saturday morning.
"The Afong girls," ns they have been
known to the army and navy for years,
arc very little like Chinese. Their
father was a half-caste and their moth
er a Portuguese and the daughters have
hut a fourth of Chinese blood. They
have traveled everywhere, have been
dined and feted in many countries
One of them—there were thirteen
daughters—married Captain, now Rear
Admiral, Whiting, of the United States
navy. Another married Lieutenant
Riggs. *>f the navy—the second daugh
ter Is the wife of Lieutenant Dougherty.
"They are refined, Intelligent wom
en," said one of the officers, "and bear
little trace of Chinese blood. They
were very popular with army and navy
men and entertained lavishly In Hono
lulu."
