IN ATLANTA NEXT TIME
Atlanta, Oct. 12 —When Theodore
Roosevelt comes to Atlanta just five
months from now to address the Sou

the war.
ALARM FOR BUSINESS
SECTIONEXCITING
Fire Department Was Called to First
National Bank Section to Find the
Opera House Transformer Burning
Out.
The fire department made a hur
ried drive last night about 6 o’clock
to the Dalton Opera House corner
in response to an alarm turned in
from fire ward No. 35.
A new transformer that had just
been installed on a pole at the above
named place had got hot and caught
fire and was burning the parts about
it which would, such as the ropes, in
sulating on the wires and other things,
which was the cause for the alarm.
All the parts had burned up and the
fire was out by the time the fire fight
ers arrived. But a fire alarm for this
part of the city always creates ex
citement and many people came hur
rying to the scene.
The fire boys had returned to the
fire hall and most everybody was get
ting back to their places when the
wild cat whistle began to whoop and
continued for five or more minutes.
What Kept Her Back.
“Mama,” said little Ethel, with a
discouraging look on her face, “I
ain’t going to school any more.”
“Why, my dearie, what’s the mat
ter?” the mother gently inquired.
“’Cause, it ain’t no use at all. I
can never learn to spell. The teach
er keeps changing the words on me
all the time.”

LING BROTHERS IS CAUGHT—CIRCUS RIDER INJURED.
Rome, Ga., Oct. 12 —Five men, op- '
erating under concessions from the

rested here Tuesday on a charge of

some sort of a “black and white”

wherewith unsuspecting yokels might
be separated from their hard-earned
coin.

Caught in the act, a negro was ar

LOS ANSELLS YEGGM!AN
FORMER GEORGIAN
Atlanta. Oct. 12 —J. B. Leonard,
the notorious yeggman who is believ
ed to have been the ringleader in the
plot that resulted in the dynamiting
of the Los Angeles Times, is vividly
remembered in Georgia and South
Carolina as one of the bunch of safe
crackers near Lancaster, S. C„ sev
eral years ago, after they had broken
into a number of hanks in various
small southern towns. For a time
they were as famous in this part of
the country as “Diamond Dick” and
Jesse James out wwt. The five men
of the band were all convicted and
sent to the Atlanta federal prison.
Leonard was pardoned by President
Taft about Christmas, 1909. and had
not been heard of since, until the man
answering his exact description was
located at Santa Rosa, near Los An
geles, as one of the Times horror sus
pects. Leonard was written of in the
newspapers as “Boston Jimmie” dur
ing his career in Georgia and sur
rounding states.
Taft either denies or confirms some
thing every day.
' had his fingers feeling around in a
stranger’s pocket. The negro was
locked in the city jail.
Daring Rider Injured.
While five men, dressed as cowboys
on horseback, were dashing around
the race course of the Ringling Bros,
circus last night, one of the horses
lost his footing and crashed to the
ground. The rider was caught un
derneath him and fearfully injured.
One arm and one leg were broken and
it is said the horse stepped in his face,
badly lacerating it. It is not thought
that he will live.
PLANS OUTLINED TO
STOP BOLL WEEVIL
Atlanta, Oct. 12 —The Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, discussing the
coming compaign to save Georgia
from the ravages of the boll weevil
when it strikes this state, outlined at
their weekly luncheon yesterday, the
following plans in brief:
“To attempt to induce the farmers
of Georgia to adopt more diversified
crops in order to have staples to fall
back upon in case the boll weevil
should ever make the cotton crop a
failure, and to put before the far
mers the advantage of pushing the
cotton crop when the threatened pest
is about to arrive, so that the crop
may. be so far advanced when the
weevil strikes it that the damage will
not be so serious. An attempt will
be made to get the farmers of the
state to plant large corn crops. A
big corn fair will be held at the au
ditorium-armory this November. The
chamber of commerce is going to raise
$5,000 for premiums to be awarded at
this fair.
A faint heart is cnsidered an easy
mark by the up-to-date girl.

LE6ALLY DAWSON
STILL HAS CITY COURT
Atlanta, Oct. 12 —Dawson still has
a city court. The people of that city
probably do not know, but the court
still exists just the same. A plurali
ty of the voters of Terrell county vot
ed at the recent state election to abol
ish the eourt, and thought they had
succeeded in doing so, but Attorney
General Hewlett Hall has just ruled
that under the legislative act it re
quired a majority of the voters and
that majority was not polled. It
seems that seventy of the voters who
participated in the election failed to
vote either way on the city court.
There is nothing like patriotism.
When you patronize home industry
you patronize a good cause.
