Normal Institute, which will be held In the
high school building next week. The ses-

The Number would be larger but for the
fact that many Of the teachers OF the
county have attended other institutes dur
ing the summer and this will excuse them
from attending here.
In speaking Of the institute Superintend-
ent Jackson said yesterday: The instl-
tute this year will be Of great interest,
not only to the teachers who are expected
to attend but to the public in general.
We have been able to secure a splendid

The necessary petition for the city coun-
Gil to act upon the plan suggested by
Mayor Maloney for the diversion Of Indian
creek at some point northeast of the city
limits will be forthcoming by the time the
mayor returns from his trip to Montreal,
where he is attending the annual meeting

club, who are vitality interested in some
solution of the Indian creek problem, and
they already rave secured almost the nee
essary number Of signatures Of property
owners.
TIL law requires the signature of 100
property, owners to these petitions, and
Peter Smith, chairman Of the Fifth Ward
Improvement club, stated yesterday that
the five petitions that ave been circulated
already bear more than the necessary 100
signatures. These petitions, Mr.. Smith said,
would probably be presented to the city
council at the regular meeting on Septem-
Der 7.

the requisite number OF signatures, the

the action necessary to form a drainage
district and take steps to issue bonds for

At a special meeting of the directors Of

Commission Inclined 60 Grant the
Request.
In a petition presented TO the Board Of
Fire and Police commissioner at its meet.
Ing last night the members Of the fire de-
partment ask for an extension OF the
weekly lay off, from eighteen to twenty
four hours. Under the present rule Of the
department each fireman IL entitled to a
weekly lay off from / p. m. TO Z y. m. OF
the day following. This gives each MEM
Der OF the department eighteen hours a
week to spend with his family. The petit
ton, which was signed by every member
Of the department. asks that the lay or
be from Z a. m. to Z a. m. of the day fol-
lowing. The commissioner expressed
themselves as in favor OF granting the
request but deferred formal action until the
return OF Chief Nicholson, to whom the
petition will be referred as a matter Of
courtesy. It is understood that Chief
Nicholson is in favor Of granting the re-
quest.
Councilman Younkerman, chairman Of
the fire and light committee Of the city
council, appeared before the commission
and discussed the advisability of some rule
being made as to the regular inspection
and examination Of the fire h%ydrants. It a
recent meeting Of the city council, the
statement was made that a fire hydrant In
the western part Of the city during a
blaze at a dry cleaning establishment,
could not be turned on until the firemen
had secured a wrench from a nearby house
as the regular wrench carried by the fire
men proved useless. The council was of
the opinion that the fire MIGRANTS should
be examined at stated intervals by the de-
partment and Councilman Younkerman
was delegated to confer with the fire and
police commissioner on the matter. The
commissioner asked Mr.. Younkerman to
frame his suggestions in q written com
munication and stated they would then
take the matter up with the chief OF the
department with a view to ordering the
systematic inspection and examination OF
the fire MIGRANTS throughout the city.
The commissioner discussed the Id
visibility OF having the new central fire
station, now nearing completion, at the
foot OF Bryant street, heated by steam
In place of by stoves, as at present con.
~templated. The board also thought ii
would be advisable to have a steel ceiling
in the main room of the new house but nc
action was taken on either proposition az
1t was deemed best to consult with the
contractor before doing so.

$4,000 RAISED FOR
WESLEY HOSPITAL

More than three thousand dollars was
collected for the Wesley Memorial hospit-
al as a result OF the Christmas offerings
of 200 Georgia Methodist churches. Other
churches are still to be heard from and
it is believed the amount will be consid-
erably swelled.
This plan of collecting funds for the
Methodist hospital, which does a consid-
cradle amount of charity treatment, has
been endorsed by the conference and has
met with the approval of Methodists all
over the state.
The day sef<<pr the Christmas offer
ing was December o. but some of the
churches took this collection earlier and
some have not yet taken it, During 1905
the Wesley Memorial did $4,000 worth OF
charity work, and its services are not lin
tied to any denomination. OF the $1,000
so far collected Atlanta with its q Meth
odist churches contributed $S3T.S6

BIGGEST WALL IN
WORLD IN ATLANTA

A wall that is reputed to be the big
gest and longest in the world, with a
single exception, is being built in At
lanta to surround the buildings of the
grim Institution called the federal prison.
The only exception to the claim which
this wall would otherwise possess to being
the biggest in the whole world, is the
great wall of China, that stretches for
hundreds of miles as a barrier. erected
hundreds of years ago after nearly a
hundred years of work, against the will
derness where the barbar1ans roamed.
For four years has this big prison wall
been building near Atlanta, and 1t is
not yet nearing completion. 1t is just
a little more than half done, say the
and some two years more
will be required before the finishing
touches can eput on.
During the four years past an average
number of 275 prisoners have been work
ing on the wall every day except Sun
days and national holidays, and over
$1,000 barrels of cement have been con-
sumed. -
At this date the wall has taken shape
around the biggest prison yard in the
country-25 acres--in the form of
square with the northeast and northwest
corners inverted. 1t is completed 30 half
it's height, all the way around, and
the top half has been added to form the
complete wall through half the distance
around.
