THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1906. 3 WOMAN PRESIDENT TELLS GOOD STORY IN ADDRESS AT DRUGGISTS’ MEETING T l,„se who believe that women have n , of humor should have heard jJ r « Emma Gory Wallace, of Boston. I, „ s tory before the druggists* con- v.ntl'in Wednesday morning. Mrs. Wallace Is president of the woman's ..rranlsatlon and has been one of the f ", most workers for the association. , Jf l address was an excellent one. wrlt- lf n with a clear Insight Into the needs of the members, and delivered with an slm|uenre which many a public speak er might envy. It was cheered to the Lho when She concluded and a rising ...te of thanks was not needed, for wry man In the house was on Ills f liiit to get back to. the story. She , vl5 , miking of cut rates and other 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,” BIRMINGHAM JAIL GETS MOBILE MAN B! Reubenson Taken to Distant Prison by Offi- Special to The Georgian. Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 3.—Protest ing his innocence, Cornelius Reuben- gon, the negro charged with criminally assaulting, Ruth, the 12 year old daughter of Blount Sossaman, a prom inent citizen of Mobile, was brought to Birmingham at 6 o’clock this morn ing and locked up In the Jefferson county Jail for sake keeping.

He urged such changes 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 olution: " ‘Resolved, That the association In dorses the passage of a national food and drug bill that limits the definition "f the term drug to the substances and preparations contained In the United Mates pharmacopoea nnd the nntfonnt formulary, also that the standards of purity nnd quality fixed by the phar- niacopoea and the national formulary 'bull be the only standards nnd no dc- vi.'tions shall lie permitted.'

Just what Mr. Lloyd was doing scattering money about the house has not been explained, but one of the dele gates found a purse In the corridor Wednesday morning with $500 and some railroad tickets bearing his name. "The Old Guard’’ held a reunion Just after the morning session Wednesday About 100 of the charter members of the St. Louis convention of ’98 are present nt this convention, and they are gratified to see how the organiza tion they formed has grown. The register showed 1,228 names nt 10 o’clock Wednesday and as many visitors have not registered. It Is be lieved that at least 2,000 men nnd wo men are In attendance on the con vention. Thomas VoegelJ, of Minneapolis, was appointed sergeant nt arms by Presi dent Breslln Wednesday morning and he nt once began rounding up the dele gates for the business meeting. He has a voice like a megaphone and when he leaned over the rotunda railing It reached every part of the Kimball from barber shop to roof. Atlanta Is being boosted by the re- Hie field without the Georgia Railway and Electric Company having some th ng to say about it. For a long time this corporation Influence was excused on the grounds that unfriendly repre- sentatives were likely to inaugurate legislation which would be unjust and unfair, simply for the "speculation 1 involved. people are as much opposed to that sort of representative as they are to the representative who reprsents the corporations outright. What the people want is fair-minded, honest 2S* 1 y h u ai L e look,n & to the best nterests of *11 the people. And that Is Just what The Georgian stands for.

"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.

Then they made the people pay the price of the suppression of competi tion. The people are patient and long 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 Voice of the Pooplo. 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 111 the fixture and I want.to Join the Municipal Ownership League."
