Won't Allow Spelling.
Whether Atlanta shall have Bax-
ter street or Chatham square of its
own is a question which is now be-
fore the courts. Recently the City
Council adopted an ordinance forbid
ding "spieling" in front of stores and
making pulling in" a crime, at least
from the Recorders court standpoint.
To-day several Peters street merchants,
principally Hebrews. were before the
Recorder, charged with violating this
ordinance. They were fined 1918 each,
the Recorder declaring the ordinance
constitutional over the protest of coun-
sci for defendants.
The attorney for the prosecuted mer-
chants says he will carry the case TO
the Supreme Court, as he believes the
ordinance interferes with their in
alienable rights.
