ATLANTA TO HAVE
NO FOOLISHNESS
Will Enforce the Law of Prohi-
bition There.

ATLANTA. August 9.-There is
not a doubt that the Atlanta prohi-
bitionists carried great weight in
the city primary, which was held
yesterday and it is probable that
their influence elected more than
one of the candidates who had oppo-
sition. But the result is looked on
as one freighted with significance.
1t is generally believed that it will
mean the enforcement of the state
prohibition law in Atlanta in spite
of the predictions which have been
made to the contrary. With a may
or and council in favor of the en-
forcement of the law, whether they
favored it or not as an abstract pro-
position, it is thought it will be
pretty we'll enforced in the city at
least for some time to come.

The Frame Sheds on Lee Street
to Come Down.

The city council has taken ano-
Their pot shot at the wooden shed on
Lee street near the artesian we'll,
and the old shed of the Minis store,
corner Lee and Church streets. This
time the owners of the sheds are
given ten days in which to remove
the said sheds, and unless this is
done council proposes to have it
DONE Such action has been taken
before in regard to the Minis shed
and heretofore thirty days has been
the time limit fixed for its removal
Now, only ten days is to be allowed,
and as the limit is rather short, the
old shed may be RACED ere the time
is still further whacked by the SOL
ons.

HORSES ARE LEFT IN
THE SUN TO SUFFER
Cruel Treatment to Dumb Ami
mails in Americas.

If Americas had a society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals num-
erous cases could be made daily
against people who tie up their horses
or mules in the hot, broiling sun
while they spend hours in the stores
or making gossipy calls. Every
day the dumb brutes are left tied in
the streets where the sun shines hot
test, when with the exercise of a
little more care and exertion shady
spot could be found. A few cases
docketed against such human brutes
would insure to the dumb brutes a
little better care and attention.
