annual election of officers was held which
resulted in the retention of the same

He stated that the books of the various
city officers had been audited by IL. f.

that the city has a balance on hand

This amount is what remains after an
investment of $1,000 in realty and paying

KING IS TRYING TO
PREVENT CRISIS

London October S.-The King thus
far has been unsuccessful in arranging
compromise in the budget contro-
versy. His majesty is trying, however,
to prevent a crisis, and today had an
other consultation with Premier As
quith, who prolonged his visit at Bal
moral castle.
AS time passes the difficulties in
avoiding a conflict between the conf
mons and the lords increases, tile
strong party men of both sides being
eager for the fight. The liberal mem
bers, who scattered to their constitu-
encies when the debate on the finance
bill adjourned, in their speeches con-
tend that the concessions made since
the bill was introduced should satisfy
its opponents, and express themselves
as strongly opposed to any compro-
mise.
On the 9th Ell hand the unionists who
have made all preparations for the
election are urging the. leaders to do
nothing that might prevent an imme-
date appeal to the people. They have
seized upon Mr.. Redmond's statement
to America that the last obstacle to
home rule would go with the dlsap
pearance of the veto of the house of
londs and are declaring that a vote
for the budget is a vote for home
rule"
In the meantime the house of lords
is radically amending the Irish land
bill. The lords threw out the clause
providing for compulsory purchase, thus
raising another issue between the two
houses. The nationalists have already
announced that they will insist upon
restoring these clauses when the bill
returns to the house of commons

MEETING AT ADMISSION.
Acker Explains Reasons for Speaking
at Political Meeting In Church.

Admission October S.-(Special)- w. P.
Acker, a member of the law firm of
Knox, Acller, Dixon & Backmon of this
city, addressed a large and enthusiastic
audience at the First Baptist church yes
terday evening in favor of the proposed
amendment to the state constitution. He
made light of the arguments of the oppo-
sition in regard to the search features of
the new laws, declared that they do not
prohibit the manufacture of wine for
home consumption. and kept his audience
in a good humor by series of jokes at
the expense of the anti-amenders.
In defense of his action in speaking in
a church. Mr.. Acker said that he could
participate in any meeting in a church
upon which he could invoke divine bless
ing. He ridiculed the idea of the oppo-
nents of the proposed amendment being
prohibitionists, and said that the only
man who has ever signed the prohibition
resolutions adopted by the Montgomery
convention is the Trainer of those resolu-
tions, former Gov. w. D. Jelks.
The Rev c. w. Henson and the Rev
John A. Barnard of Cartersville took part
in the meeting, Mr. Henson making
short address and Mr.. Barnard opening

RUTH BRYAN WILL
RUN FOR CONGRESS

New York, October S.-(Special)-A dis
patch from Denver says: Ruth Bryan
beavitt. daughter of w. ]. Bryan. has
announced her candidacy for Congress
from the First Colorado district With the
support of the Jane Jefferson club. of
which she is president; of former Senator
Patterson and his papers, and with her
fathers prestige in Colorado L. is said
she expects to again put a Bryan per-
son before the nation.
Jane Jefferson club members. older than
Mrs. Leavtt. some old enough to be her
mother, express the belief that If a wom-
an is to be sent to Congress from Colorado
the elder stateswomen should be consid-
cred. The republican women are busy
along the same line, and the wife of
United States Marshal Dewey c. Bailey is
likely to be candidate before the repub-
lican First district convention.
