affect the sOrdid men who swept from

ladies who demand birds for their

Else soon the whole earth will become
desert without melody, given over
to the insect world. where no graci ons

Supreme Court Says They Can BE
Made for Only 'One Year.
Atlanta, Ga, March 14.-The Supreme
Court this afternoon rendered a most I'M
portant decision. 1t was in the case Of
Dawson Light and Water Company
against the Mayo and Council of the city
of Dawson.
The effect Of the decision is that no
municipal authority can contract for a
term of years. The Dawson Council had
contracted with the light and water COM
pany for a term of years. But the con-
tract was annulled. The company applied
to the courts TO compel the Council to full
fill the contract, but the Supreme Court
holds that such contract is invalid I'M
der the constitution, and may be nullified.
the power of Council to contract being
limited to the current year.
This decision established a precedent
that will be Teceived with a widespread
interest, as ii will affect many interests
throughout the state. Some years ago At

NO DEPOT YET IN SIGHT.
Commission Has Given the Railroads
Ten Days More.

Ten Days More.
Atlanta, March 14.-There is stlll no new
depot in sight for Atlanta At the meet
the purpose of passing upon the plans
submitted by the railroads, another delay
was granted until March "a, pending which
time the railroad officials and the City
Council will try to come to some kind OF
an understanding as to the reduction OF
the grade of Whitehall and Pryor streets,
which the railroad engineers all claim Is
necessary before a depot can be built upon
the present site, If grade crossings are to
be overcome.
Mayor Woodward and the local citizens
committee were opposed to allowing the
railroads any further time but they de-
cided that il was impossible TO settle upon
plans hurriedly and the commission gave
ten days. All the plans presented-and
there were four sets-provide for elevated
tracks and a depot on the present site,
which belongs to the state, and is leased
by the Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Louis Railway Company. 1t was expected
that some plan would be offered for the
erection of the depot at Forsyth street,
which is favored by the Central Railway
management, but this was not done.
this is the only available site
for the depot. and they in
innate that all the discussions
of the old site is merely for the purpose OF
delay as the railroad managers freely de-
clare that they cannot build a handsome
permanent structure there without some
concession from the state.
Special Attorney Brown was present al
the meeting of the commission this morn
ing, bur declined to take any part in the
discussion as the representative of the
state road.
The committee of the legislature ap-
pointed at the last session to represent
the stale in the depot matter, Is to be
called together here pending the next meet
ing of the railroad commission.
The members of the commission to-day
showed plainly by their remarks that they
are almost at the end of their patience
with the roads, and If they do not get
together on a union station soon, action
will be taken to compel them to build sep
arate depots. The commission cannot force
the roads to build a union station, but il
can compel each to provide it's own depot
accommodations of an adequate character.

SPANISH DAGGERs IN THE SQUARES
Park and Tree Commission Making
Another Trial with Them.

The Park and Tree Commission has 100
| burial lots ready for sale IN the new sec
ton Of Laure. Grove cemetary. It IS estl-
mated that they Will bring the city 5000
at the rate OF so "a lot, which is 500 more
than the cost of draining the entire sec
ton. The commissioners estimate that the
sale of all the lots viii net the city about
5000.
Chairman Dafin Is looking closely after
park and tree work. His determination
20 grow bear grass, or Spanish daggers,
in the squares, is az firm as ever, and not
outstanding several crops have fallen
under the pedestrians tread, the commits
sioner intends to try it again. This time
he viii erect a wire protection at the cor
ners, so that pedestrians cannot trample
the horny product before its growth is
well started. The daggers are keen, but
they require some growth before they can
successfully resist passersby.
Spanish daggers can take care of them
selves" said Chairman Dafin yesterday.
Il have tried several times to get this
grass to grow in Johnson square, but 1t is
trampled down before 1t gets started. My
purpose now is to erect wire projections,
so that the people win not carelessly tram
pie it, I am satisfied this grass viii be a
handsome thing for the parks. A few days
ago 1 was at Miami and other points In
Florida, and observed that bear grass is
being extensively planted around the Flag
Ter hotels"
The efforts the commission has made 10
get a stand of daggers in johnson square
has proven quite a source of amusement
for some. but Chairman Daffin Is not TO
be bafiied. While the grass is tender it
should be nourshed. When its long green
blades, with points like needles, assume
fun growth, they will present a magnih-
cent appearance though people who don't
care to have their hides perforated must
keep their distance.
The commission is arranging for water
carts, which will be used in sprinkliug the
large number of young trees recently set
out 1t is stated the carts will be built
