things and she paused to say:
That reminds me of a spiritualistic
finre i attended In Boston. The room
was darkened and deep sepulchral
voices called me from across the great
divide. With uncertain and hesitating
steps I groped my way to the cabinet
where the spirits chose to take up
their abode on earth. With fear and
trembling I saw the dim. ghostlv light
which glowed from the spirit who con
versed with me. I listened vainly for
the fluttering of spirit wings—and I
heard the rattle of celluloid cuffs.
"That relieved me. I hod a pair of
embroidery scissors In my pocket and
I ventured to snip a sample from the
ethereal robe of the spirit. When I
took It to the light I found It was the
hem from a cheesecloth Mother Hub
bard. It was covered with phosphorus,
which. In the dim light, glowed like
some will-o'-the-wisp, with a faint
blue light. But I only felt sorry for
the able-bodied man who was reduced
to playing spirit In celluloid cuffs and
a cheese cloth,Mother Hubbard,”

as would render protection of retailers
more secure.
The report of the publicity commit
tee was then read. The committee laid
csjieclul stress upon the value of news-
pajier advertising as opposed to* bulle
tins and other methods. The mall or
dec business .wife, taken up and a. tight
against the Parsons bill, now pending,
was urged.In the Interests.of fhe re
tailers. It was shown that the com
mittee was operating at a financial loss,
bin the deficit had been decreased since
th° previous year.
Committee on Organization.
The committee on organization re
ported on Its work In gaining new
members and showed that It was about
$3.oi>o behind In Its finances, Its Income
having been brought nearly up to its
expenses. The appointment of more
salaried men to push the work of or
ganization and to collect dues was
urged.
The treasurer’s report showed re
ceipts of $100,375.45 with disbursements
balancing that amount. The report
gave every detail of receipts, with nil
contributions to the association set out
clearly. ' i
The committee on national legislation
submitted a report calling attention to
the "freak" nnd radical bills introduced
before the last congress. The denat
ured alcohol bill was discussed nnd
li was pointed out that the druggists
would derive little from the sale of
fmrh alcohol, which was a commercial
article and could be sold by grocers
and other tradesmen.
Pure Food Bill.
The pure food bill was taken up and
th*> committee made the following
comment:
At its fast annual convention the
association adopted the following res

Atlanta Is being boosted by the re-

Is Just what The Georgian stands for.

Some Kind Words.
"Please enter my name as a mem-
ber of your Municipal Ownership
League,” writes C. J. Hollingsworth, an
employee of the Oholstln-Cunnlngham
Spring Bed Company. "I send it as
per your published blank for that pur
pose. I fully Indorse this move as one
In the Interest of the people, and Join
hundreds of other citizens of Atlanta
in a much deserved praise for the man
ner In which The Georgian has been
conducted during the last two dr three
weeks. While you have published the
news, you haven’t Inflamed the minds
of the peace-disturbing element, but
rather tended to quiet such a move.
"To have such a great paper In such
a great and modern city as Atlanta Is
sufficient assurance that the righteous
rule of the best people will always pre
vail, and that paper becomes greater.”
We are grateful to Mr. Hollingsworth
for this evidence of his faith in the in
tentions of The Georgian. This paper
Is going to be conducted In such a man
ner that the public will realize that the
people are being considered first, and
wild inflammatory publications not at
all. Each action has Its Influence In
what every step of advancement a pa
per may engage. The people BELIEVE
The Georgian, and believing will rally
to the support of this municipal own
ership move which It has Inaugurated.
The Right Dirsotion.
"Inclosed you will find my application
for membership In the Municipal Own
ership League,” writes Charles Wil
liam Bernhardt, of 21 McAfee street.
"You have taken a step Jn the right
direction, and I firmly believe that an
organization should be perfected look
ing forward to the successful accom
plishment of the object desired.
"I am thoroughly In accord with a
movement of this kind. You have my
best wishes.’’
Those sort of letters, from Intelligent,
patriotic citizens, have their Influence.
That Is the kind of expression we want
from honest men, who are not afraid
to come out and notify the corporations
that they are squarely against the rule
of the corporations wnea the people are
being over-taxed for commodities which
In cities are practical necessities.
Competition Stifled.
The people MUST have light, and
knowing this the corporations are will
ing to go to any extreme to maintain
the monopoly which they have brought
about. That Is why the Georgia Rail

was CHEAPER for them to buy up
these things than meet competition.
Then they made the people pay the
price of the suppression of competi

suffering, but there must come an end
sometime. That end has come NOW
and the people ARE GOING TO AS
SERT THEMSELVES.
Here Is what Dr. C. A. Broach, an
osteopath, with offices at 58 Inman
building, has to say on the subject of
municipal ownership.
"Having Investigated the underlying
principles Involved In (he municipal
ownership of the gns and electric light
ing plants of this city I am free to de
clare that I And no shadow of evil or
Injustice that could accrue to any one.
Great Btnefit to People.
"On the other hand I And the strong
est assurances of untold benefit to each
citizen of this great municipality.
Therefore I deduce the following syl
logistic conclusions:
"Whatever contributes to the good of
each Individual contributes to the gen
eral good.
“Municipal ownership contributes to
the good of each Individual. There
fore municipal ownership contributes
to the good of the populace.
"If these facts be true (and I feel
sure that they are) 1 would, In the
name of humanity, lift my .humble
voice nnd say give'us MUNICIPAL.
OWNERSHIP; give It to us SPEED
ILY; give It to us PERMANENTLY.
That Is a good strong letter and
comes from a good strong man who has
thought the matter out and reached the
honest conclusion. The corporations
might go after that man and try until
doomsday to shnke his convictions, but
tbev would find him standing on the
stile of the right and of the people, no
matter how strong the pressure.

The ownership of street railways as
well as gas and electricity," writes A.
.1. Jones, a real estate dealer of 708
Century building, and he continues
with the hope thnt ' numerous small
parks will be opened In different sec
tions of the city. ... .
"The gns company robbed me when
I lived In town,” writes IV. B. Cham
bers, a merchant who lives on Rural
Route No. 8. "Although I do not now
live In the city 1 expect to some time

On account of the heavy ralna and

the center of the triangle formed by
East Point, College Park and Hapevllle.
It has every church and school fa

wide and evenly graded streets, Inter

with natural shade of oak, maple, elm
and poplar. Virginia avenue, a mag
nificent thoroughfare, 50 feet wide, con

Sixty large lots front this avenue,
along which we expect electric enrs to

In the first addition of Kagnn park one
hundred liotne-seekers purchased lots.
In the second addition there will be at
least one hundred more. With the In
terest and public spirit of these two
hundred property owners Hagan park

Just placed on the market the second
nnd last addition of this property. The

$25 in 6 months, $25 In 12 months, $25
iu 18 months, and $25 In 24 months,

corner lots fronting Virginia and Har
rison avenues the company has a stand
ing offer of $500 each; for the two

avenues the company has a standing
