many friends
HAVE BEEN SILENT
But Few Days Remain In
Which to Raise Re
quired Sum-
With only a few days more left, hard
work Is necessary to secure the amount
needed for the Tech fund to secure the
property so necessary to the welfare
of the institution.
The list printed herewith totals
$3,105. and the amount needed Is $7,500.
Four thousand three hundred and nine
ty-live is still needed.
Will Atlantans,,who have never turn
ed a deaf ear to any worthy, cause, let
a matter of paramount Importance go
by default? The Georgian believes not,
and that by next Monday night every
penny necessary will be guaranteed by
genuine subscriptions.
Many of Atlanta’s best citizens ap
pear on this list foV substantial 'sums,
but many others are missing. Will they
be missing very much longer? If so it
will ho the first time In the history of
any great movement that it has so
happened. ■ ■ ■ * « *
The two lots, tho option on which
rill expire January-1. ar* very necessa
ry for the future growth and comfort
of the Tech. Without them the expan
sion of the Institution will he grievous,
ly retarded.
Let every citizen' come quickly to the
aid « f this cause. No matter hoxv small
the sum It will be gratefully received
and acknowledged. •

minion, Is Fairfax E. Stontugue. who
comes to Atlanta about January 1 from
Illchmottd. to accept tho position of su-
perlntendi-nt of exchange traffle with
the Southern Bell Telephone and Tele,
graph Company. He will probnbly
meet with a hearty welcome in busi
ness nnd social circles.
Fairfax E. Montague was born In
Kina and Queen county, Virginia, on
March 4, 1861. I(o Is the son of the
late E. B. Montague, colonel of the
Thirty-second Virginia regiment, Pick
ett’s division, C. 8. A. Colonel Mon-,
tagite was a brother of tho late It. D,
Montague, lieutenant governor of Vir
ginia, durfttg the war between the
states, and president of the convention
of 1861, when Virginia passed the ordi
nance of secession.
l-’nlrfax. E. Montague .and Governor
A. J. Montague, of Virginia, ate double
tlrst cousins, their fathers, Lieutenant
Governor Montague and Colonel Mon
tague, having married sisters.
Mr. Montague was educated at Aber
deen Academy. Virginia, at the Virginia
Mllltarv Institute and at the 'United
States Military Academy at Best Point,
jf. y. •
On leaving college In 188.1 he began
the pructloe of civil engineering and
followed that profession until 1»U0,
when he entered the service of the
Southern Bell Telephone nnd Telegraph
Company. His first connection with
that company was as manager or tho
Richmond exchange. During his In
cumbency as manager the city or Rich
mond granted tho Bell Company «
franchise which empowered the com
pany to install In the dty an under
ground common battery telephone sys
tem. Mr. Montague was placed In
charge of this work and in le?s than a
vear completed the construction of the
new plant, which at the time yes the
largest and most up-to-date telephone
plant In the South.
Soon after the completion of thin
work he was assigned to duty on tho
staff of the general manager of h*s
company and for n few months had his
headquurters In Atlanta.
In February, , 1903, Colonel Hunt
Chlpley, now general counsel of the
company, was - relieved from duty ns

TO KEEP HIMSELF ALIVE
Dr. Columbus B. Giles, one of At
lanta’s oldest and well-known physi
cians, died at the residence, ;jl White
hall street, shortly after 1 o’clock on
Wednesday afternoon, nt the age of 56
years. He had been very 111 for six
weeks, but began to relapse Wednesday
morning when hope for Ms recovery
wan Inst. The members of the family
were at the bedside.
Dr. Giles wus a graduate of the
Philadelphia Medical College. He wan
horn In McDufile county, Gcorgta. and
came to Atlanta fifteen years ugo. Dr.
Giles was held In the highest esteem
by all Who knew him. nnd was regard
ed as one of tho foremost men In Ids
profession III this <lty.
He Is survlvt.l by his wife end six
children. Airs. W. T. Bpratt, Jr., Ralph
Giles, Philadelphia; Miss l.co Giles,
Carl Giles, Norman Giles nnd Ruth
Giles*, Tho funeral will take place at
the residence at 3 o’clock Thursday
afternoon.
"By \ll ■ means, council should over
ride the veto', of the mayor and 1 thus
adopt the restrictions put on the liquor
traffic and raise the licenses as pro
posed.”
This Is the statement' of Frank P.
Rice, president of the board of water
commissioners, *a.'promlnent Atlantan,
who served In council eleven years,
the longest service In the history of the
city, with one ezeeptlon.
Mr. Rice was a member of the coun
cil committee, that helped draw up the
compromise ordinance regulating the
whisky traffle, .which Is now In force,
and which Mayor Woodward so ardent
ly advocates.
“That compromise ordinance wpn’t
do now,” said Mr. Rico, “and I say thjs,
despite the fact that I was Instru
mental In drawing It up nineteen years
ngo. Tho people of today are clamor
ing for. new restrictions and a higher
license, and these should be .given
them.
‘‘Granting a license to a saloon is not
like licensing a mercantile nnd other
perfectly legitimate businesses. The
constitution says the city shnll license
mercantile and grocery establishments,
and may license saloons. In other
words, the liquor license Itself is a
privilege.
’’I am not arguing prohibition. With
the higher license und the proposed re
strictions, fewer police will be necessa
ry, and there will he better control. I
say tills, too, the adoption of the higher
license and these restrictions Is tho
solution of the problem, nnd Is the only
way to keep olT q prohibition election.
"1 commend Mr. Seely for Ills state
ment In regard to the position The
Georgian takes."
Henry S. Johnson, of the Chamber-
Iln-Johnson-DuBose Company, ex
pressed similar convictions.
"To save me," stated Mr. Johnson, "I
can’t see how Mayor Woodward figured
It out. His veto of the high license
ordinance wns most unfortunate, and
I certainly hopo cnnnclt will override
the veto. The Georgian Is right In the
stand It takes. I fully agree with Mr.
Seely’s statement." . -
George Muse, of Die George Muse
Clothing Company, was also seen.
“Council, by all means, should over
ride the mayor's veto," he said, "and
you can't make this statement too em
phatic and decisive. ; It’s the plain duty
of every councilman to see that the
ordinance goes through, regardless of
Ills veto, with or without Ms approval.
