Prohibitionists Are Suspicious
 of New Dodge
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVEE
Thirsty Georgians Think They VIII Be Able to Get Their Drinks Under the Club Plan, Lately
 Evolved.

Atlanta, September 3o.-(Special.)- )- Thirsty Georgians may yet be able to secure liquid refreshment after the first of January of the coming year, if the plans now on foot are ruled legal by the cor'rts. The last legislature, which passed a bill making Georgia a dry state after January l, also passed a section of the general tax act making clubs in which lockers are kept for the use of the mem bers liable to $50 0tax.
 Of course this tax was intended to apply to those club now in existence, which would, of course. resort to the locker system at once to given their mem- bership relief from their thirst. BelieV- ing, however that this locker tax provides a loophole many citizens of Georgia are contemplating the establishment of clubs wherein the locker system will be the interesting feature, in fact the essential feature. Of course that is not the only feature which will be proposed in the articles of benefits of membership set forth in applications for charters. If it were the chances are that permission to start in business would be refused by the judge asked to grant charter.
 Recently the Georgia club asked for a charter and was granted one. And the other day the Fulton league asked to be granted a charter. Both clubs give various social features, which are to render the life of It's members more con- fortable
 It Is believed that before the first of January charters for clubs will have been asked for in al the principal cities of the state.
 In the meantime, however, the prohi- bltionists are wide awake and are of the opinion that they will be able to put a stop to this club tendency through one of the privisions of the bill, over which there is some dispute, the question as to whether a club Is or is not a public place. If 1t is. then the club men will in all probability lose out.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"Parsifal."

Parsifal was presented last night at the Jefferson to small but an appreciatlve audience.
 There were several changes in the cast from the one seen here last year. MT Connor as Parsifal was all that could be desired, and his work was applauded fre- ouently. Mr. Kelvin as Klingsor, the black knight of Necromancy was good, but his work was not up to the standard set last season
 Kundry, the fairest of women, was DOT trayed by Miss Morris who has not the ability or beauty of Miss keatlns, WHO formerly played the role The audlehce' however, was satisfied with her actihs'
 The scenic effects were good and seher- ally speaking the characters preseiileu their narts in an acceptable manner.

GREAT DEMAND
 FOR WATERWAYS James J, Hill Says That Rail- roads Are Inadequate CONGESTION IS INCREASING Railroad King of the Northwest De- clares That Necessity Forces Deep
 ening of Waterways for
 Transportation.
CONGESTION IS INCREASING

St, Paul September 0.-(Speeial)- James J. Hill, the northwestern railway king, speaking as a St. Paul business man before the members of the Inland Waterways commission at the breakfast tendered them on their arrival at the head of the Mississippi river navigation predicted thatp ast congestion of Amer ican railways is nothing compared with what is yet to come and strongly urged the improvement of the Mississippi.
 "The quickest and best relief the coun- try. can get said MT. Hill, in re- lieving the transportation situation is to improve the Mississippi river. Every day of delay costs more and more money to those who are on the land and de- Veloping It. That's where wealth comes from. Those are the men who suffer first. River improvement will help all the territory west of Columbus and Indian apolis. If the river is deepened from the head of navigation at St. Paul to it's mouth business will come this way. should think that proper rivel channels and a dependable depth of water for navigation would mean the carrying of grain from St. Paul to the gulf for from seven and one-half to eight cents. Think what an advantage this would be to every man living in the Mississippi valley.
 Traffic is growing five times as fast as the facilities of the railways for moving it. Railway building has stopped and 1t will be hard to start it. To deepen the Mississippi will do more good than a dozen Panama canals. Nothing is so serious as the terrific demands of the fpreSent on the railways for inc moving of traffic and thes ituation in which the railways find themselves. There is noth- ing in the past to compare with what the people have yet to suffer from this congestion. The present means of trans portation will be the same until conf- dence is restored and people again begin to invest"

CHANGE LOCATION
 FOR BIG HORSE SHOW
TENT IS TOO LARGE FOR SPACE AT CAPITOL PARK AND CONvE- WENT QUARTERS HAVE BEEN PROCURED ON soUTHsIDE.

Great progress is being made in promoting the Alabama horse show, which will give three exhibitions on the nights of october 8, and 10. Yesterday the large tent to be used in giving the exhibitions arrived and will be erected today. This immense tent is 3S0 feet long and 150 feet wide. It was proposed to erect this tent at the head of Twentieth street, in front of the Confederate monument, but on ac- count of the space to be occupied by the tent and horses the board of gov ernors decided to erect 1t on a lot on tie corner of Twenty-first street and Avenue G. This is the lot that has been selected upon which to erect permanent buildings in time for show next season.
 The entrance to the tent Is within 40 feet of LakeView and Mountain Terrace car line. It is within one block of Twenty third street car line, and is near the Avondale and Twen- tieth street lines.
 Letters of inquiry in regard to prem iums and classes are being received by every mail, and the prospects are that there will be q very. largo number of horses on exhibition. R. M. Williams of the Idle Wild farm Savannah, writes that he will bring a good string of horses. J. w. dickson and Sterling Nicholson of Kentucky will each bring q good string of horses. Several strings will come from Atlanta. AL ready a number of local horses are being trained and gotten in shape to enter for premiums
 The horse show will in no way con f1ict with the state fair but the two attractions are running hand in hand, and the contribu utors to both enter prises want to see great success of both.
 There will be no exhibitions at the horse show in daytime, everything be- ing at night.

ma anifestation of feeling of this kind in our civilization should be crushed at the outset by the weight of sensible pupne opinion.
 War Upon Dishonesty.
 From the standpoint of our mateflai prosperity there Is only one other thlnS as important as the Encouragement of a spirit of envy and hostlitystoward hon. est business men, toward honest men or means. this is the Encouragement Of dishonest business men, the war upon the chicanery and wrongdoing which are peculiarly repulslve, peculiarly noxlous' when exhibited by men who have no ex- cuse of want, of poverty, or ignorance, for their crimes. Men of means, and above all men of great wealth, can ex- ist in safety under the peaceful protec- ton of the stateS only In orderly so- cieties where liberty manifests itself through and under the law. It is these men who, more than any others, should in the interest of the class to which they belong, in the interests of their children and their childrens children seek In every way, but especially in the conduct of their lives, to insist upon and to
 build up respect for the law. It may not be true from the standpoint of some particular individual of this class, but in the long run it Is -eminently true from the standpoint of the class as a whole, no less than of the country as a
 whole, that it is a veritable calamity to achieve a temporary triumph by viola ton or evasion of the law; and we are the best friends of the man of property, we show ourselves the staunchest uphol- CTS of the rights of proper.y. when we set our faces like flint against those of lenders who do wrong in order to acquire great wealth or who use this wealth a help to wrongdojng.
 Crime In lAlI Classes.
 Wrongdoing is confined to no class. Good and evil are to be found among both rich and poor, and in drawing the line among our fellows must draw it on conduct and not on worldly pos sessions. In the abstract most of us
 will admit this. In the concrete we can have knowledge of and sympathy with cue another. If both the wage worker and the capitalist are able to enter each
 into the others life, to meet him so as to get into genuine sympathy with him, most of the misunderstanding between them will disappear and its place will be taken by judgment broader juster, | more kindly, and more generous; for each
 will find in the other the same essential Thurman attributes that exist in himself. It was President McKinleys peculiar glory that in actual practice he realized this as 1t Is given to but few men to
 realize it. that his broad and deep sym pathies made him feel a genuine sense of oneness with all his fellow Americans, whatever their station or work in life. so that to his soul they were all joined
 with him in a great brotherly democracy of the spirit. It is not given to many of us in our lives actually to realize this attitude to the extent that he u.u, but
 we can at least have 1t before us as the goal of our endeavor and by so do- ing we shall pay honor better than
 in any other way to the memory of the dead President whose services in life we this day commemorate.

PIZITZ'S OPENING
 GREAT EVENT
EVERYTHING NEEDED BY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD IN WAY OF WEARING APPAREL SHOWN TO VISITORS.

Opening day was celebrated at the store of Louis Pizitz yesterday as only that popular merchant knows how to have one. The always busy" store was literally packed to the doors all day long with a throng of busy shop pers. and indeed one day alone would hardly suffice for one to glance over all tho stock in this large shop.
 Everything was there from the wear for the baby to that needed by the grandmother. But the pride of the store was the magnificent display of the latest creations from Paris, New York and every other center of fash ion, creations of Silks and satins that only the worlds greatest modistes could have shaped. The line of silks was all, that could possibly have been wished for. Every design was there messalines, taffeta, the marquisettes aud every other design of simmer ing and heavy silk.
 Every department in the store had on it's opening dress, the entire store presenting truly beautiful scene. The ready to wear department, the star de- partment of this great department store, was full of happy shoppers, try ing on a tailored gown here, another a suit here, a jacket there and planning for her winter outfit as only woman knows how to plan. Waists Of every conceivable pattern, of every size and style, were everywhere.
 Evening toilets, walking suits, morn ing gowns in all styles and design Frocks for the most exacting. Gloves, h hosiery, dainty underwear and all or the small things were abundantly dis played.
 The entire store was beautifully decorated lending a touch of beauty that one could hardly believe mortal hands could create. The millinery department was beautiful. French ana American hat makers were represented hv many exquisite hats. Large hats were in abundance, while the popular Empire models mushroom hats ana every imaginable design for every tune and occasion were represented
 Louis Pizitz's reputation Is for keep ine. everything needed by man, woman or child, and the opening yesterday proved it fully.

It is amusing to watch the
editorial columns of the Colum
bia Record since the enactment
of the Cary-Cothran Law. That
paper. in and out OF season, de-
Tended the integrity Of the State
dispensary and everybody and
everything connected Herewith.
1t got the habit. and it just can
not break itself. 1t stood off in
amazement because Governor
Ansel did not appoint politicians
to wind up the State machine,
and it is equally amazed because
the reports from the county
boards show a tendency to turn
the affairs of county dispensaries
over into the hands of business
men who have no political as
pirations. We believe the
Record will ind many things
for it to be amazed at, and when
the Cary-Cothran Act has been
in operation twelve months, it
will wonder how it ever gave
itself consent to offer such stub
born opposition.
