THE RIoTINe HAS STOPPED.
A Few Persons Were Wounded Dur
ing Sunday Night.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. "a, 1:5O a. M
With six companies of infantry, one
battery of light artillery and one
squadron of cavalry under Colonel
Clifford Anderson of the Georgia state
militia, and the entire police force
guarding the city, Atlanta this morn
ing is quiet. The negro trouble, while
breaking out in several sections dur
ing the night, is now entirely abated.
By order of the mayor, saloons have
been closed until further notice, and
many business places. such as res
taurants, all-night drug stores, ETC.,
were closed early in the evening. In
the early part of the night there were
several cases where street cars were
shot at from ambush, and few mo-
tormen and conductors refused to
continue on the cars. For this
reason, the Randolph, Walker, Mag
nolia and Auburn avenue lines ser
vice was discontinued. About 10

A negro was shot in the hip in Nc

prompt arrival of the militia saved
him.
A street car conductor was shot by
an unknown negro at 1915, but his
injury was not serious.
At this hour the number of killed
all told is placed at sixteen, but there
is no way to find out the definite
number as the negroes and friends
carried the dead away in many cases,
fearing the dead would not receive
proper burial. Six bodies are at one

The Lake.

The promoters of the lake scheme
here have received, or will receive in a
day or so, definite propositions from
capitalists as to just what they will do
in the matter. When this proposition
is received, it is likely a mass-meeting
of land owners will be called to con-
slider it, and to devise ways and means
for accepting it, if possible.
AS many times stated here, the
success or failure Uf the entire plan
depends wholly upon the land owners
themselves. If options are given at
low figures there is absolutely no ques-
tion as to the lake being built.
But these figures must be such as to
tempt outside capital to come here, in
vest many thousands in the land, and
MANY more thousands in the construct
ion of the lake and improvements, on
the chance that The land will increase
sufficiently in value to repay them and
in addition q fair profit on the invest
ment. It's a speculation pure and sim
pie on the part of the capitalists.
AS Mr.. w. A. Smith has pointed out:
II the property owners really desire the
lake and all that it means in the future,
they should be willing to part with
their present holdings, and take that
money. and buy, or secur options on
other property, thereby securing every
advantage resulting from hundreds OF
thousands of dollars Of outside capital
being spent In Henderson County.
We are not at liberty to give the
names of the gentlemen at present, but
they are conversant with their business.
If they decide they can afford to come
here and invest their money, they will
spare absolutely no expense or pains 70
boom this city from n end OF the
continent to the other,
On the most reliable authority we
are able to state that they will spend
nearly $4,000 each year In magazine
advertising alone. This in addition tC
many other methods recognized az
being effective in drawing the country
eye to a certain proposition.
It takes no great amount of brair
matter to understand what this means
to the town. 1t ear a population O
10. 900 people within a few years. /
means the spending of untold thousand'
in buildings, in ~boulevards, in stree

kinds.
And it means that if the options cal
be secured at figures to meet the pro
moters requirements that work on tn'
lake will be started in thirty days
This on the authority of a man who
knows, and who is most intimately con
nected with the enterprise.

be sholn practically of all power except
the supervision Of the contracts preyi-
ously entered into. We are DESTROYS
OF fulfilling completely all the duties
entrusted to us, but will not put our
selves in position of appearing to-
grasp powers still retained by the peo-
pie for the execution of which our sue
cessors will be elected at the ensuing
election.
Your committee, while disclaiming
any desire to bind the action of future
boards, feels that it may properly ex-
press its convictions on the question of
the relative merits Of the two systems
of lighting now in vogue in Norris
town; and would recommend to the
succeeding board the investigation Of
the question, whether it is not possible
to supersede the present gas lamps
with some more satisfactory method
of street lighting. Our Investigation
of the subject of street lighting has
convinced US that as at present con-
Quoted, under the most favorable con-
ditiors, the lighting Of streets by gas
is unsatisfactory
Entertaining the views above ex-
pressed as to the powers Of the Board
to enter upon a contract at this time
for the lighting Of the streets to take
effect at the termination of the pres
ent contracts, and also on the advisa-
bility of so doing in case the board had
the power, we fail to see any benefit
in advertising for bids for that purpose
to be presented to this Board not later
than October 1, 1906, except the posi-
BILE assistance which the agitation Of
this subject at this time might render
in securing the election or defeat Of
candidates for Office at the general
election in next November. We can
not advise the Board that such assist
ance is within the line of the duties
they we're elected to perform and have
sworn to execute.

AS to the execution Of the contracts
in respect to the matters not necessary
to have expert information on, your
committee would state that the Elec-
trio Light Company has regularly en-
ployed man to supervise their lights
during the evening of each day and
replace those found to be detective.
Working in conjunction with the
police committee and the police
department, orders have been giy
en- for the police also to report detcien
cies both in the electric and in the gas
lights whenever found BY them. Inall
cases where any defects have been
reported from these or other sources,
tine same have been remedied as. soon
as possible. The committee has been
and is pleased to receive the assistance
of the citizens, for whom they were
trying to secure the best results posi-
bic under the contracts and the full
contract requirements.
Your committee is convinced that
the great source of trouble giving rise
TO complaints against the gas company
is on account Of the employment by it
Of boys to light the street lamps and
to extinguish them. In some cases the
boys have failed to light the lamps,
and again in other cases have injured
the mantles both in lighting and ex-
tinguishing the lights, In many cases
also they have failed to report to the
proper officers ofthe company the con-
dition Of the lamps, so that repairs
could be made promptly.
This source of trouble the gas COM
pany is attempting to remedy by the
employment of older and presumably
more responsible persons to attend to
this part Of the work required by their
contracts. The committee shall con-
tinue to exercise SUPERVISION over the
matter to the best OF its ability. 1t
desires to have all infractions which
have escaped its notice or the notice
Of those IN the employ Of the city who
are directed to report the same, and
which Inay be observed by citizens OF
the town. reported to the committee
or to the Mayor, so that the same may
be remedied,
?. Your committee would further
report that it is advised chat this
Board has no power to enter into con-
tracts which will not become operative
until nine months after the life Of the
board making the contracts shall have
expired
Your committee would further re-
port that, irrespective Of the legality
Of such proceeding, it is of TIE opinion
that such course of action cannot fail
to be otherwise than detrimental to
the best interests Of any municipality
pursuing it. Your committee can I'M
der no circumstances feel justified in
recommending to this Board that it
attempt to forestall the action Of q
succeeding board and bind the town
for long period Of years which Will
not begin until after they have surren-
dered the power entrusted to them by
the people. II the Board saw fit to
pursue this policy in the matter Of
street lighting, it could as well pursue
it in other matters in which case it
can easily be seen that a board now in
power might bind the town ia con-
tracts SO that a succeeding board would
