WILL INTRODUCE
WIRELESS PHONES

Atlanta and the entire state of Georgia
is shortly to have the use of the most
wonderful of all the worlds great cleo
trical inventions-the wireless telephone.
The Atlantic Radio company, giving a
general commercial wireless telephone and
telegraph service, has its representatives
in the state making contracts for the es-
Establishment of stations at all of the prin-
cipal points.
The Importance of this announcement is
emphasized by the statement that the
present telephone and telegraph charges
will be reduced at least 30 per cent, which
will mean a saving to the users of the
service in this state many thousands of
dollars annually.
The wireless telegraph has long been
an established institution in the east
ern states and on all of the principal
ocean-going vessels, and the wireless tele-
phone has been in practical use for a
year and a half but the south has had
little participation in the development of
either of these inventions.
The Atlantic Radio Telephone company
operating throughout the territory from
Maryland to Florida, is a subsidiary of
the Radio Telephone company. and the
southern states will have long distance
connection with the entire chain of sta
lions owned by that company and its
subsidiaries.

MILEAGE REGULATION
UPHELD BY HINES

Upon the request of the state railroad
commission Special Attorney James K
Hines has given an interesting opinion in
regard to the complaints made by the
travelling public as to the exchange of
mileage book coupons for straight tick
cts at railway agencies. Attorney Hines
holds that the railroads regulation for
the presentation and exchange of coupons
for mileage is entirely reasonable.
Attorney Hines was asked by the COM
mission TO furnish an opinion upon the
right. of a common carrier to expel a
passenger, who had failed to comply with
it's regulation, requiring the exchange
Of mileage coupons for a ticket
Attorney Hines says that carriers OF
passengers may eject from their con-
veyances all persons refusing to COM
ply with reasonable regulations. He says
that the present mileage book arrange
ment is reasonable Because the purchaser
enters into a contract with the railway
company selling the mileage book. One
of the terms of the contract is that
coupons from these mileage books will
not be honored on trains except at nom
agency points or at station agencies not
open for the sale of the tickets.
The purchaser. says Attorney Hines.
gets a reduced rate and he is bound by
the terms of the special contract. He
says in conclusion that the arrangement
has already been submitted to. and APP
proved by the state railroad commits

Marriage was instituted by God in the
Garden OF Eden. And was intended for the

There are a great many that do not seem

may sympathy in her sore trial. have often
thought il was more than I could bear to have
enc member OF our family taken away sud-
denly. / glad Clarence a true
Christian. I know he had a good Christian
mother. she was ever ready to do her duty
as long as she lived. I remember that when
her seat at Bethel church was vacant we
would always inquire about her health. We
knew that something really the matter
when she was not at her place.
Now. when I go back 10 the old church /
miss several of the old ones that I loved so
well.
Busy Bee. we were girls together and I have
often wondered who you were. You must cast
your trouble the Lord he can help in
the time OF need. very sorry your health
is bad and trust you will get well and be your
dear self again.
I am so glad TO see Little Maid COMING
back ! often wondered what had become OF
her. The letter was fine. and l. like her. am
looking at so many young girls that seems 80
thoughtless and don't seem TO realize the respC.
sibility that rests them. Some mothers
are very careless about their girls and the COM
pany they keep. I have but girl ana
