Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1909-09-03

Atlanta will be the axis of the world
of fashion, wealth and sport for more
than a week during the first part of No
vember, when unnumbered followers Of
the speed goddess and believers in the
gospel of good roads will make this their
Mecca and journey hither from every
corner OF the compass

tened Automobile Week" never have
her capacities for housing and feeding
visitors been taxed as they will be this
November.
FOUR GREAT EVENTS.
The crowd will be immense because
1t will be drawn hither by a quad
ripple magnet. Four separate yet sim
liar events will combine to make the
occasion memorable.
First The reliability run from New
York to Atlanta, over The Journal
Herald national highway will wind up
I in Atlanta. about November 2 or 8
Second: An intrastate contest, con-
sisting of reliability runs from vari-
Gus other cities of Georgia, will con-
verge and come to it's conclusion here.
Third: The National Automobile show
will take place in Atlanta November
6 to IS, inclusive.
Fourth: The great races on Allan
ta's new half-mllion-dollar auto speed
way will be run November 9 to -
in which world-famous cars with world
famous drivers will compete, and in
which world records may be broken.
WILL DOUBLE POPULATION.
Any of these four things would
bring it's tens of thousands, but when
they all are crowded into one fort
night, with the added inducement that
the railroads are going to offer g.
cent round-trip rate from all over the
country, even the most conservative
railroad men are talking about a crowd
which will run above the 100000
mark. During That week, they say
the population of Atlanta will be prnc-
tically doubled.
Atlanta, more than any other city OF
the south, has handled her gigantic
! crowds In the past; when Grover Cleve-
land was here, visitors were compelled
TO sleep on tables in the hotel Hobbies
and on the benches in the parks; when
Terrible Theodore invaded Atlanta, the
army which came to hear him crate

slept stretched out upon the pews; va

oppose currency reform. 1t is folly for the
merchant doing bushes in China to accept
the bankers view OF what is desirable in
financial systems.
The Chinese knows nothing and cares
nothing of the gold value of his money
He thinks in taels. buys in taels, sells
IN taels of silver. He keeps up with the
cornplexities of the Chinese internal cur
rency system, but beyond that he does
not inquire and refuses to be informed.
Therefore, when by reason of falling on
in the purchasing power of India as the
result of a famine the price of silver
drops in money markets OF the world; or
when financial manipulation has the same
effect, a Chinese is not disturbed. He de-
sires to buy just as much foreign goods
for the silver tael as he did last year, or
the wear before He will not listen to ar
guments about the difference between gold
and silver prices. Perhaps he is wise
and over-shrewd in refusing to learn this
comparatively simple lesson.
Last year the average exchange value
of the tael. using for example that par
ticular tael which is reckoned as the
standard by the custom houses. was So
cents. American money. The year before
the average value was 70 cents On the
whole there was an average rise in silver
prices of commodities of from Is to 20 per
cent to realize the same amount of gold.
Naturally the Chinese objected to buying
goods. But they were delighted to sell at
the new prices, since the foreigner was
willing 10 give more taels for the same
amount of goods. and to them a tael is a
tael Consequently. the falling price OF
silver stimulates exports and correspond

increases the burden of gold debts owed
by chinese or by the Chinese government.
The operation Of the system at present
is to depress the business of those for
eigners who are trying to find market
i'm China, to increase the burden of debt
upon the Chinese, and generally to injure
legitimate trade. Only the exchange
sharks find a profit in the system. If all
the powers would follow the lead of the
limited States and endeavor to help China
reform its currency system, II would be
of the greatest possible advantage to all
parties concerned. That is, except the
banks.
AS regards trade with the United States.
there is an apparent contradiction of the
general rule. The Chinese empire last

before. In fact, however, the business

The stingaree wrapped itself about
Muller's legs and plunged its spike into

lost much blood however. ard his recov-

NEW PARK MAY
GET BLEACHERS

At meeting of the big league yes
terday afternoon it was decided to al
low the trustees to go ahead and sell
out the fxings of the ball park to the
highest bidder. This is the knell of
league baseball for some time to come,
unless by any chance the league gets
together and plays on the new ground.
This selling off should prove duck
soup for the promoters of the new
ground who will get readymade set
of bleachers for very much less than
cost and will be able to take them to
the new ground at small expense.
The new ground is going ahead at a
fast rate and the management states
that it will be ready to open on July
II. just what teams will play then is
hardly known. There is talk of new
minor league in the afternoon papers,
but the promoters are not relying on
this as much of a drawing card.
The suggestion may be implied that
the big league might get together for
a short series beginning in July. Moth
ing better could happen for baseball
here. A short, snappy series with all
the players keyed up to the best kind
of ball, would make a great hit and
the location of the new ground would
be an immense advantage.

HALL CUP FOR
KAHULUI RACE

A handsome cup has been put up by
Hall & Son for the first prize in the
race to Kahului and return. This prize
will go to the yacht that covers the
entire course of the race in the fastest
time. In addition TO this there will
be a prize for the second yacht TO
finish and also a prize put up by the
yachtsmen of Maui for the yacht that
makes the best time from Honolulu to
Kahului.
Secretary Nicely of the yacht club
has written to Mr.. Williams of Kahului
stating that the yachts expect to arrive
off that port some time near midday
on Saturday, June II. He asked that
a judge be appointed to take the time
of the yachts as they round the mark
and that a mark be placed in a con
venient place for rounding.
In case of the yachts arriving off
Kahului during dark, Mr.. Nelly asked
that a light be arranged for, to show
on the mark and asked that Mr. Will
liams state whether, in such case, the
shippers would be expected to take
their own time or not.
The Mauinese yachtsmen were also
informed that the Hawaii and the other
yachts would be open to inspection all
day Sunday and the Honolulu yachts
men would not look for any entertain
ment on Saturday, after day and
night of strenuous sailing, their hunks
being probably more welcome in the
early evening.
There is a possibility that the Char
lotte C. will make the trip to Kahului
but not as one of the racers. This
fast little yawl is easily able to make
the trip but would find it trifie siren
uous cracking on all sail for race

the trade winds be blowing hard
