DIXON WILL NOT RUN
MAYOR MYERS WILL MAKE. THE
RACE AGAIN.
AND WITHOUT OPPOSITION.
THAT Is THE WAY POLITICAL SIT.
UATION Is SIZED UP.

Friends of Alderman Dixon Held "A
Caucus Last Night, But WouId
Give Nothing Out-Not Positively
known What Conclusion They
Reached, But Well Informed Poll
ficians Say the Alderman VIII Not
Make the Race This Time-Mr.
Myers VIII Get Citizens Club NOm-
nation.
Alderman James NJ. Dixon will not
be a candidate for the mayorallty, and
Mayor Herman Myers will be again Sc
lected as the standard bearer of the
Citizens Club. He will accept the
nomination and for the second time run
for Mayor without having an OPP
ponent."
A prominent member of the Citizens
Club made this statement last night,
after caucus of Mr.. Dixon's friends
had been held in the office of Twiggs &
Oliver. Just what occurred at the
caucus could not be ascertained, and
those who attended it even refused to
say what conclusion, if any, had been
reached. 1t was said that the meeting
was rather largely attended. Mr.. Dix
on stated that he had attended no
meeting of his friends and did not
know what had happened.
The call for the meeting was signed
by f. M. Oliver, Esq, and it was stated
that the advisability of Mr.. Dixon be-
coming a candidate would be discussed
by his friends. Just how far the dis
cussion went and of what it consisted
could not be learned. It had been said
that if Mr.. Dixon entered the race
against Mr. Myers a third candidate
might enter. Mr.. Myers supporters,
however, do not believe that he can
be defeated no matter what combina-
ton might be made against him.
A committee of ten, of which Frank
S. Van Geisen was chairman, waited
upon Mayor Myers at the City Ex-
change yesterday to urge him to again
permit the use of his name. The COM
mittee represented the Second District
and was cordially received by the
Mayor. Mr.. Myers told the members
of the committee that if the Citizens
Club desires him to again take the Of
fee nomination carrying with it an
election, he will do so. Chairman
Van Geisen and his associates were
highly elated at the manner in which
Mr.. Myers expressed himself.
A committee of fifty from the South
Side Administration Club will go
through the same performance at noon
on Monday and another committee
from President James McBride's
Fourth District Administration Club
will meet the Mayor at the same time.
Urged as he is by each of the ward
clubs to make the race ne is assured
of the nomination of the Citizens Club
proper All of the clubs have Endorsed
him and the weekly meetings have
been called off until after the holidays,
unless unexpected opposition develops.

BOYS WHIPPED BY
TRUCK DRIVER.

There was considerable excitement
and some argument on the right and
wrong of the question yesterday after
noon at the corner of Abercorn and
Broughton streets over the warming up
of several youngsters, by the driver Of
a cotton truck, with rib roasting whip

awhile, proceeded to give an object

Observation-Disclosures George Mouro OF
the fire department, happened along
and thought the boys were being i'll
treated, and demanded that Officer
Scully. who was near arrest the driv-

after appeared on the scene, and went

MAY PURCHASE LOTS.
IL Bargain Can BE Had Government
VIII Add to Hospital site.

II Bargain Can BE Had Government
VIII Add to Hospital site.
The United States may be able to
get the adjoining property to the York
and Abercorn street Marine Hospital
lot. 1t was said that an effort was
being made to sell the lots extending
back to Drayton street, and there is a
possibility of the government making
this purchase. The land, however, will
have to be offered at a reasonable fig
ure. Otherwise the government will
not consider an offer.
The lots are owned by parties living
in Alabama, and their representatives
here decline to say what sum it will
require to make the purchase. 1t is
not even known If negotiations for the
purchasa are now on. The hospital
could be put up very nicely on the
land now owned by the government
although 1t would be more advisable
to have the entire block. Now that a
new cession has been granted by the
state, advices from Washington show
that the supervising architect is pre-
pairing to call for bids for the erection
of the building.

STABLES WORTH $4,000.
Nearly Ready for Occupancy by
Southern Express Co.

Within another week or ten days the
Southern Express Company will have
completed it's new $4,000 stables, now
building at the foot of Stewart street.
The building has front elevation OF
IS feet, has a frontage of even greater
length, and a depth. on its longest
side, of about $50 feet. 1t is built OF
brick and in the matter of it's interior
arrangements is probably one of the
most complete and up-to-date stables
in the city
The front of the building. which
faces West Broad street. contains on
the lower floor room for all the wa
CONS of the company, some twenty in
all, while the upper rooms are to be
used for store rooms for feed. The
rear of the building is the stable prop
er and here there are thirty stalls for
regular use in addition to hospital
stalls for sick animals.
The sanitary arrangements are as
near perfect as they can be made in
stable. The stalls have wooden floors
imposed upon a general floor of brick
which is graded to a drain in the CEN
ter of the space between the rows.
This, which has a fall of feet to the
100, is covered with perforated iron
sheets, and so connected with water
pipes that it can be flushed daily or
as often as is needed.
The building has two rear entrances
FOR the use of the horses and has a.
plenty of space both to the rear and
on the north side, this latter being
held in reserve in case it should be-
come convenient to enlarge the build
ing. The structure is being erected by
the Stewart Contracting Company, I'M
der the direct supervision of Mr.. John
E. Burgess.
Mr.. John p. Hockaday, superintend-
ent of the Southern Express Company,
is very much pleased with the build
ing and especially with the location.
Because Of the location, he says, it will
be possible to give much better treat
ment to the stock than has hitherto
been possible. For instance, instead of
having to use feed bags for them it
will be possible while the wagons are
at the station to unharness the horses
altogether and feed them in their
stalls.

POLICE WATCHING BOYS.
Juveniles VhO shoot Fireworks
Had Better BE Careful.

Despite the vigilance of the members
of the police the ordinance governing
the shooting of fire works within the
city limits duringsthe holidays is not
being enforced.
1t would require several hundred pa
trolmen to keep the small boys from
doing those things that have been for
hidden by City Council. The boys
know this and so do the officers. AS a
result the ordinance is persistently vio-
lated and crackers are exploded on the
business streets almost as frequently
as in the sections not covered by ordi-
nance.
Three youngsters appeared before
Recorder Myrick in Police Court yes
terday to answer a charge of having
shot fireworks in the forbidden terri
tory. They We're arrested by Patrolmen
Beiber and Cowart with whom COM
plant had been lodged. The Recorder
looked the boys over and gave them a
lecture. He admonished them to be
careful of their conduct in the future
and the case was dismissed.
