corporations which built them are ready to sell again? Is Atlanta ready to
sell? That question was answered but a few weeks ago.
If a water system Is profitable to a city,' why not an electric plant?
It Is as easy to supply electricity as watsr. It Is as easy to fix rates and
measure consumption In one as In the other. What is the difference?
Do electric planta make money?
Read the annual statements o'f tne electric light companies. Not the pub
lished report with figures juggled and assets and liabilities transposed un
til only the expert accountant of the corporation knows Its Inner meaning.
Get "on tho Inside." Notice the salaries of the officers. Watch, the In
creasing wealth of the men In control.
Notlco the amounts tho corporations are willing to spend for "protection.”
Observe the tenacity with which they ding to their franchises, the eager
ness for an extonslon for a long term.
Are the corporations making money? Are they willing to sell out at
cost or even a fair profit?

CHARGING EXTORTIONATE PRICES, CAN NOT A CITY GAIN A
FAIR INCOME AND CHARGE FAIR PRICES? WHAT IS THE AN
SWER?
The answer Is "YES.”
And Atlanta Is going to do 1L The public is tired of paying unfair prices
for Its light. -
ATLANTA PUBLIC 18 TIRED.
The Municipal League is growing. It Is growing In numbers and grow-
Ing In strength. The men who compose It are doing something besides
signing the names to a 1 blank application and “Joining, tho league." They
are thinking.
Only thinking as yet. But before all great undertakings there must be a
carefully prepared plan. There are men In the league who are capable of
acting and they will act when the time comes. It Is coming soon.
The Georgian has a record of every member of the league. It la a long
list and It Is growing longer. It will be long enough soon to represent o
voting strength which can control Its city.
. There will be a great mass meeting In Atlanta before many days. It
will be a meeting of the city's friends, a gathering of men who want to see'
Atlanta free. There will be thinkers and workers, rich men and poor, men
In kid gloves and men ta overalls. They all use light and they are willing
to pay a fair price for It—and no more.. That meeting will mark the first
milestone In thp road toward municipal ownership.
And In the meantime The Georgian's list is growing. There are hun
dreds now. There will be thousands before the movement is over. Read
some of tho names which have been published day by day. See the char
acter of some of the Atlantans who have allied themselves with the
movement You will know some of them. Are they dreamers? You will
find some of the foremost men, the moat successful business men, In the
list. Would these men advocate municipal ownership If they did not be
lieve It would be' a good thing for Atlanta and therefore a good thing for
Atlantans?
, Think It over. Read what other cities have done. Take a common-
sense view of it. It Is a plain business proposition. Then sign the coupon
In The Georgian and get ready to work for a gas plant and an electric
plant of your own.
ASA G. CANDLER STRONG
FOR CITY OWNERSHIP
Asa G. Candler, owner at the Candler building and one of the promi
nent business men of Atlanta, does not hesitate to express his views upon
municipal ownership. At h!s ofllce Friday afternoon he talked freely of
public utilities and their control.
"By all means," said Mr. Candler, "the city of Atlanta should own the
gas and electric plants and there are many reasons and many good rea
sons vt^hy they should be owned by the municipality. .
"It has been argued that they will be controlled by politics and that In
competent officials will be kept on the pay rolls because they are very close
friends or because they are related to some Influential city official. This
may the true to an extent, but It can be avoided. The city should have of
ficials who are Just, as competent as those of private’corporations. They can
be secured.
“Such public utilities as the gas and electric plants should be under
the control of the city. If there Is to be a monopoly the people should have
the benefit of It. If there Is money In the business for a corporation,
there Is certainly money in It for the city, If properly conducted.
"The same thing that will .apply to the waterworks will also apply to
the other utilities, it may be true that the waterworks officials are not
competent If that Is true, competent men should be Installed. The city has
valuable machinery that should be looked after.
"The Candler building Is fitted with Its own electric lighting and
heating plant The light and heat la turned on whenever It la necessary.
The system Is not controlled by a monopoly whose contract eaye the heat
can not be turned on until the first of November and the lights must be
turned oft at midnight. I
"It was found upon Investigation that quite an outlay of money was
necessary to Install a plant to receive the current from the electric com
pany, and oa only a little more outlay would Install a complete auxiliary
plant this was done. It la now Independent Sf any plant, and both light and
heat la furnished very much cheaper and more satisfactorily than ‘ by any
other way.
"There Is no reason why the city should not reap the benefits derived
from such public utilities.”

quartet of unknown negroes ere-
ated scenes of Intense excitement In
two different eectlons of the city Fri
day night by shooting and wounding
two other negro men. firing at a white
man, running another .white man Into
hla store, and shooting promiscuously
In the streets.
The desperadoes first made their ap
pearance about 6 o'clock In West Fair
street, near Lawahe. They approached
Prince Alford, a negro residing at 16
Lowes alley, who was walking along
the streeL and, without any provoca
tion whatever, shot him In the back,
badly wounding him.
Robert Lee. another negro of 83 Lar
kin street, next received attention. The
four outlaws spied him at work In a
near-by yard and opened fire, wound
ing him.
T. E. Cook, a white man, a merchant
In West Fair street, heard tho shoot
ing and rap to tho door of his store to
ascertain the cause. No sooner had he
appeared in the doorway than tho
negroes commanded him to beat a has
ty retreat, threatening to shoot him If
he refused.
In Kennedy 8tre*t.
The negroes were next • heard from
In Kennedy street, near Strong, where
they created a scene of pandemonium
and frlglftened the cltlxena In that
community. Several shots were fired.
On hearing tho shooting, A. H. Blank
enship, of 53 Strong street, avho was
recently appointed a deputy sheriff,
went to his door with the Intention of
arresting the law-breakers., In answer
to h.ls command to halt, the negroes
opened fire on him, shooting three
times. ' Neither of the bullets took ef-
.feot- • . •.
In the meantime the-police station
had been, notified and Call Officers
Peyton and Doyle and Norris and
Brannnn hurried to the scene. Tho
negroes had succeeded In making their
escape, however, and no trace of them
could be found.
It Is thought that possibly these four
negroes are the same highwaymen who
held up and robbed J.’ W. Armstrong
Thursday night at Washington street
and Trinity avenue, after which they
shot at him several time*. .It In thought
they may alscflba <ti* assailants of

AS WAS FEARED
“The latest reports received at this
office Indicate that the total damage to
the cotton crop of Georgia, directly due
to the recent frost, will not amount to
more than 60,000 bales.;*
This was the etatement made Satur
day at the office of the Cotton Journal.
The estimated damage the first day
was 60,000 bales, and the second day
of the frost, 26,000 bales. It has been
learned, however, that the frost of
Wednesday night was not os harmful
aa waa first thought, while the frost
of Thursday night did practically no
damage '
Practically all the damage that could

office of the Cotton Journal, was done
tho first day, and the froet of the suc
ceeding day amounted to almost noth
ing, as far as the result on the cotton
crop goes.
Weather Saturday.
While the weather of early Saturday
morning was of a chilly, biting nature,
and was quite os productive of dis
comfort as that of the two previous
mornings, the effect on the thermome
ters around Atlanta was quite differ

While the minimum of Thursday was
31 degree*, and that of Friday 26 de
grees, the minimum of Saturday waa
40 degrees Thla point waa reached
by the mercury at 5 >30 o’clock In the
morning, after which It turned warmer
again.
The real‘reason why It was so dis
agreeable out of doors Saturday morn
ing early lay In the fact that a stiff
northeastern wind was blowing.
Light frost was reported Saturday
morning at Rome, Albany and Ainerl-
cus. The following note* are append
