but also thought to bring 4 small party

The evenings We're spent on the wide
porches and in the parlor at the home or
the young hostess. The young people
engaged in interesting games and pleas

this the young people of the town contrib
uted largely by bringing their stringed
instruments and joining their happy
voices in song, till the walls resounled
with the joyful melodies.

MAYOR WILL DRINK NO MORE
Tells Atlanta's Council That Otherwise
He Will Resign.

Atlanta, August 14.-Mayor James G.
Woodward against whom Impeachment
proceedings have been contemplated for
some time by the city council and whose
resignation has been asked for by that
body, made solemn promise to the
councilmen and aldermen at meeting
this afternoon that he would not take
another drink during his term of office.
He further stated that he would cease
his indiscretiOns and if he did not sus-
tain his promises he would resign. Act
ing upon these avowals. the city council
has dismissed the committe appointed
to investigate the mayors conduct and
all differences between them have been
righted.
The mayor presented written state
ment to the municipal body in which he
said:
Consulting my own comfort alone,
| would resign. The duties of the office
are onerous. its responsibilities great and
its temptations many. Besides this my
official life has been embittered by
system of annoyances and prosecutions
inaugurated and carried on constantly
and persistently by political and pei-
sonal enemies who could not use me.
Newspaper articles and ISLANDERS
otherwise whispered into your ears and
the public ear have only been the sur
face manifestations of the deeper and
crueler humiliations heaped upon me"
The mayor was charged with druken-
ness. He says:
I'm all honesty and rrankness,
have committed some Indiscretions.
Possibly this is too mild a term for
them, but Judging them by the standard
set by the world, they We're simply in
discretions."
He promised as follows:
As my indiscretions offend, they shall
cease. This promise made by myself
may be construed also as a promise
to Your body and to my constituents at
large. j make it deliberatel, solemnly,
with full confidence in my strength and
a full knowledge of my Weakness
