In order that they could act accord
ingly In regard to the returns from the*
rent of the state.
The order to the police was addi

blue coats at the polling placed were
given rigid Instruction* to report any
delay In the count, not to Commifodon-

the usual course, but to Superintendent

STATISTICS.
I Whitehall St.
ATLANTA, GA.
The ordinance imnnluced by Coun-
| ciimun W. H. Terrell, making it
I criminal offense, to erect a billboard
; over live feet high, died hard in coun
j ell Monday afternoon, but It died with
Its boot* on, ho to speak.
An Incident or two In connection with
the defeat of the ordinance served to
break the monotony of about as tedious
and boresome a* meeting a« council
ever pe’rpetrated on an expectant bunch
of newH|>apcr reporters.
The ordinance had the backing of the
j Ministers’ Evangelical Association. It
* supposed fhat there would be a
f strong tight to have the advent* report
of the o/dlnance committee overruled.
When the report was read Councilman
Ttrrell arose in defense of his ordi
nance.
“Mr. Chairman,” said Mr. Terrell, “I
would like permission to stand upon
the roHtrum, where I can be heard
plainly, where I can get a commanding
view of council, and make my points
more forceful,”
He was granted this request, and he
sailed In. Mr. Terrell was at his best.
He argued that the passage of the
ordinance would mean the end of the
unquestionable lithographs which,
charged, defaced Atlanta’s streets. He
waxed warm and eloquent. In the
midst of the tirade of abuse against
lithographs showing women with wahtt*
too low and skirts too high, there was
a quiver as of an earthquake, and
then the whole room shook, a volcanic
noise accotni>anylng the supposed ex
plosion.
Upon Investigation. It was fun. I that
Councilman Htcve Glass had taken n
short trip to Blumberland and that the
train had run off the track. He and
his chair were carefully gathered to
gether and placed in their former rela
tive positions.
Councilman Glass pleaded that he had
been overcome by the force of the re
marks. But when voting time came, he
cost his ballot against the ordinance,
did all of council but Mr. Terrell.
