Hurd nodded and repaired to the

 The board has been busy with plans to improve the old jail, it is said, and 1t is the intention of Dr. Bragg to meet the board to see what work they have done. Just what arrangements he will make with the board for the care of the Jeff ferson county prisoners is uncertain at the present time.

ATLANTA ID HAVE

 Great City System POLITICIANS ARE ACTIVE Gov. Hoke Smith Is Said to Be Laying Lines for the Senate-Consres-

 Discussed.
POLITICIANS ARE ACTIVE
BY LAUREN FOREMAN.

Atlanta Ga, September 21.-(Special)- Committees of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce are busily at work, making plans for the Identification of the Gate City, through the establishment of a sys- tenn of parks, on the outskirts of the city with a broad boulevard connecting these parks this drive to encircle the entire town. Of course this plan cannot be put into execution at once, owing to the cost of the undertaking, but the members of the Atlanta body are enthusiastic over the project and hope ultimately to gain their ends.
 In order to arouse interest in this work a number of prominent citizens of beau tiful towns in the northwest have been invited to appear in the city and tell of the advantages secured by the addi- tion of pretty parks and fine roads. One prominent citizen of one of the prettiest towns in the country has accepted the invitation and will come to Atlanta with in a short time For some reason nis name has not yet been announced.
 Politics is looming up, in what should be a dull season, and as result there are large nunlDef or present lnCum- bents who are trying hard to find out where they .are at" The question of the election of a senator to succeed Sen ator Clay, the primaries being held next year, holds a great deal of interest for the average Georgian.
 Politicians up in the air It has been prophesied that Governor Smith will be in the race for the Senate, while the names of Seaborn Wright a leader in the prohibition campaign, and others have been mentioned In case Governor Smith should decide he wanted the office, how ever the chances are about to 1 that he would be without opposition. In the meantime Senator Clay is endeavoring to ge- a grip the situation, and find whether it would be advisable for him to run.
 Interest is also expressed in the race for Congress from the Fifth congression- al district of Georgia, the incumbent be- ing Col Lon Livingston. He will be opposed by James l.. Mayson, present city attorney, and by one or two others. It Is certain that Mayson will receive the solld prohibition backing-he is the pres ident of the Fulton County Anti-Saloon | league-and his chances are bright Con- gressman Livingston is busy, evading the query: will you be in the race?" It is stated that all three Fulton county representatives to the state legislature will retire this year. and so a host of young men of the city and county have | announced for the vacancies.
 Jack Slaton, former speaker of the house of representatives. has announced his intention of running for the state senate and if elected may be a candi- date for the presidency of that body

 A GOOD LOCATION

The good results of judicious advertis- ing are shown by the remarkable business now being done by the Royal Tailoring company, recently opened for business at PIP Eighteenth street. They are original and liberal in their methods of advertis- ing. Their most effective means or at tracting' customers now is their offer to make to order any suit of clothes rom a selection of over 200 different patterns for $14. They have now in work nearly 1000 suits since opening on Monday last. Their store presents a busy scene at all hours of the day.
