Atlanta, November 24.-(Special.)-
There appears to be no longer any doubt
about the fact that prohibition in At
lanta is a dead issue, at least for the
present.
The fact that the ministers and tho
Anti-Saloon league have practically
ceased their agitation for a local option
election; the fact that the Baptist con-
vention at Gainesville, while indorsinS
state prohibition, did not mention the
Atlanta situation, and the fact that the
proposal to throw more and stronger safe
guards around the liquor traffic in At
lanta, has met with such widespread and
general approval, all indicate that the
matter of an election has been dropped,
and that those who have been foremost In
the fight for a change are content to &C.
cept this proposed remedy as the best
solution of the problem.
1t was realized that a prohibition fight
In Atlanta at this time would arouse no
end of bitterness and strife, and then.
too, there was considerable doubt about
being able to carry the county against
the liquor traffic.

Amount Of Silver.

Washington, November 24.-Benjamin
Edwards, chief of the bureau of insular
affairs, and Charles A. Conant of New
York, who was a member of the commits
sion which framed the Philippine cur

tary of War Taft a plan for the re-coin-
age of the Philippine silver money The
plan will not be made public until 1t
has been adopted by the Philippine conl-
missioners and approved by the Pres!-
dent.
The necessity for the re-coinage was to
reduce the percentage of silver to an
amount less than its bullion value in Or
der to put an end to its being melted. The
bureau of insular affairs and it's advisers
considered the advisablity of reducing
the weight of the coin without decreas-

believed this is the plan which will be
recommended,

Dangerous Wound.
