SOUTHERN WILL USE
 AUTOMATIC SWITCHES

In order to facilitate the operation of Southern railway trains between this city and Atlanta it was given out yes- terday that automatically operated switches will be placed every three-quar- ters of mile on the line between Biz mingham and Atlanta. f,
 For the purpose of operating the new, switches large tower is nearing com- pletion at Austell. From this tower the switches will be thrown mechanically,s and when thrown signals will flash at every three-quarter mile between Bir- mingham and Atlanta. In this way It will be easy to handle more trains with greater speed than at the present time. The automatic devices will be ready for operation in the next 10 days. When com- pleted the heavy winter traffic will be- started with the assurance of every safe- ty and precautionary measure having
 been taken.
 L. Sevier, general agent of the South, ern, said yesterday that the new meth- ods would be fully appreciated by the travelling public when 1t is pointed out that absolutely no loophole has been left for serious operation accidents on the main line. He added that every new de-, vice would be employed in improving thel service between Birmingham and the, east.

Is FIagman Necessaryf

At the last meeting of the city council an effort was made by the rep resentatives of the railroads to have the ordinance requiring them to place watchman at the crossings at Nine teenth and Twentieth streets repealed. They insisted 1t was an unnecessary eX- pense and that they would require all trains to approach the crossings at a low rate of speed and that flagman from the train would act as flagman. Mayor Lewis opposed the repeal of the ordinance, and stated that at the next meeting of the council he would show the absolute necessity for the watch man. Yesterday 8 citiben not connect ed with the city government kept tab on the number of vehicles and pedes- trians that crossed and recrossed the tracks at the Twentieth street cross ing in 13 hours. His figures showed over 500 vehicles, about 400 pedestrians, IF automobiles and 12 horsemen. The matter will come before the council next Tuesday and it Is stated that some other interesting facts will be shown.

TO MAKE FIGHT ON NIGH BEER
The Georgia Anti-SaIOOn League
Promises to Carry the War
to the Legislature.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Prohibitfon will
be a big issue of the Georgia legis-
lature which next sits at the state
capitol. The question was wisely
kept out of the recent gubernatorial
campaign by mutual agreement of all
parties concerned, but it is known
now that the Anti-Saloon League of
Georgia intends to go before the leg
islature to make a strong fight for
the abolition of the near beer saloon.
which they maintain is to all intents
and purpose is practically a real beer
saloon.
The fight will be to give Georgia
straight prohibition law. The
movement of the Anti-Saloon League
will meet with strong and well or
ganized opposition. To begin with
there are many sincere political
leaders, legislators and other public
men who are opposed to prohibition
as matter of principle. In addition
the brewing interests will naturally
leave no stone unturned to defeat a
change in the law that would put
their breweries completely out of the
business. So a red hot fight is sure
to come.

They say the spring was late

denced by an article in both the Wau-
bay Clipper and the Lily Argus, in
which the Reporter and Farmer is taken
to task for giving perfectly truthful
account of the democratic meeting held
in this city few weeks ago. We wish
to inform the author of the article,
whoever he may be, that the Reporter
and Farmer has not contracted the
reform" habit of lying. Whenever
we report meeting, we endeavor to
make our report conform with the
truth; and in regard to our report of
the democratic meeting, it was merely
an item of news, the authenticity of
which can be corroborated by the fifty
seven democrats who were present.

No, we could hardly expect him to take

out endeavor to creep up and stab
their victor in the back. We believe,
however, that the taxpayers of Day
county will put in an effectual protest
if our efficient" states attorney
attempts to pull off any more of those
revengeful stunts, which Bronson des-
ignates as reform. The general tone
of public opinion in this county appears
to be in favor of making the states
attorney a public prosecutor, not pub
lie prosecutor. Bronson's remarks re-

Epan Takes Second Place

Reports from the southern part OF
the state indicate that Governor Vessey
is becoming a small factor in the guber-
material contest, and that the real fight
now lies between Elrod and Egan, with
Vessey securely attached to third place,
The power of Eganism has not been
felt in these northern counties to any
appreciable extent-in fact his candi-
dacy has been regarded as joke. But
in the southern counties he is making
rapid Roadway, and the rank and file of
the insurgent faction are fiocking to his
standard, and the frantic efforts of Yes
sey, Ustrud and the heelers of the
Crawford Wesley Basford machine can
not stem the tide. One of the promi-
nent members of the Vessey "reform"
clan expressed the opinion that Egan
had the insurgents in the southern
counties hypnotized, and openly admit
ted that Vessey was relegated to third
place as factor in the gubernatoriaI
campaign.
Fate and politics sometimes make
queer turns. A few months ago the
reform" machine regarded Egan witt
contempt, sand now they learn with dis,
may that he is conquering and seizing
their faction in the southern part OF
the state and has already practically
eliminated Vessey as a candidate fol
the republican nomination for governor
A number of the insurgents in Mime
haha, Moody, Lake, Turner and Lin,
coin counties, Egan's stronghold, have
given up all hope of nominating Wesley
and as the ultra-radicalism of Egan
does not appeal to them, they are lin
ing up with Elrod.
South Dakota politics have made
some queer turns, but never before il
the history of the state has any man
been able to so completely capture {
faction or party as Mr.. Egan has cap
tured the insurgents in the southern
part of the state.
