The Flat-Head'S Tame BeIIO,


Even the VIGOROUSLY dull intelli-
gence of Atlanta's world-famous jour
nalistic fiat-head is capable of re-
spending to hard jolt.
He does not find it pleasant to be
stripped before all Georgia of his
dearly-loved pose of personal gran
deur and shown up in his true charac-
ter of intellectual vacancy and free
for-all thug.
So when the Constitutions prod
of yesterday penetrated what his
friends call his mental processes, he
could not restrain from a tame bel
low.
That is the substance of two col
umns of words, which combine a
Macedonian cry for sympathy with !
return to his familiar pursuit of play
ing buzzard in Georgia politics.
The Constitution does not need adj
vice from our friend, the fat-head
We should have to use the vacuum
cleaning pump to extract any intelli-
gence from it, and the game is worth
less than the candle.
Nor is the fiat-head qualified to adj
wise anybody, about anything We
even question if his success in politics
or business entities him to take his
own counsels seriously. Certainly
then, he is childish when he expects
any one else to do So

BILL SAVES A MILLION
A YEAR TO CONSUMER
Measure Aimed at Stan
dard Oil Go.

Americas light consumers, the few
here who are unable to get into
gaseous and electric circles, are
deeply interested in a bill pending in
the Senate which regulates the price
of the "old reliable" kerosene, still
used to some extent as an illumina-
ting agency, even in cities.
The bill makes it unlawful for any
manufacturer of any product to sell
it for a less price in one section of
the state than in another allowance
being made for the difference in rates
of transportation.
1t IS generally conceded that the
bill is aimed at the Standard Oil
Company, though it is stated there is
a possibility of it's application to the
fertilizer trust" and others eff they
get obstreperous"
The minority report deals with the
Standard Oil Company.
1t says that this company is charg-
ing from 2 to ) cents per gallon more
for kerosene at points where there is
no competition, than it does where
there is fight for trade The report
states that the company sells oil at
competitive points at $500 less for a
tank of 5000 gallons, than at non
competitive points.
1t is declared that this policy is
adopted for the purpose of crushing
out the small dealers and of destroy
ing all competition, and that it's eff
feet is to rob the consumers of the
state of more than $1,0O0,000 a year
The committee vote on the bill was
tie-4 to 4-and the chairman, Sen
ator Womble, refusing to vote, the
measure went back under the rules
with an unfavorable report.
One senator says, however, thai
there is yet to be one of the hottes
fights of the session over this very
bill He proposes to call it up jus
as soon as the opportunity presents
itself and to ask the senate to disa
gree to the report and pass the bill

ALBANY'S O. BALL TEAM.

Albany now claims the champion
ship of South Georgia and proposes to
play the champions of North Georgia
for the championship of the state.
Albany couldn't put a ball team in the
field by itself. Its last team, got to-
gether from Atlanta and other points
for a series of three games, had only
one or two Albany men on it. In a
series between teams made up eXcluS-
lively of Americas and Albany players
the latter town would have no more
chance of success than the proverbial
snow ball in his Satanic Majesty's
dominions has of surviving the heat.
If Albany doubts this let it get up a
team of men who really live in Albany
and try it for once. Americas doesn't
have to scour the state to get players
eyerytime it has a series of games in
prospect 1t has the goods at home.
