ATLANTA WILL ASK
FOR TOURISTS RATES

Atlanta is to become a tourist center.
Atlanta is going to enter the arena in
competition with other southern cities for
a big share of the enormous tourist
traffic which pours into Dixie from the
north in an ever-increasing stream each
winter.
Following the announcement by Joe Ca
tins of his big plan to erect in Atlanta,
at the corner of Peachtree street and
Ponce de Leon avenue, splendid up-to-
date winter resort hotel at a cost of up
wards of 81, 100000, John E. Murphy is
going to urge the chamber of commerce
to "get in behind the tourist idea with
all it's strength and energy, and first of
all, to take steps to have Atlanta classed
as tourist point by the railroads in or
der that she may enjoy tourist passenger
rates from northern points.
At present If a traveller wishes to visit
Augusta or Jacksonville, or Tampa, or
any one Of a dozen other southern cite
rated as tourist centers," he may buy
in any northern city a return trip ticket
at a reduced rate, but If he wants TO
come to Atlanta he is compelled to buy
straight ticket each way at the popular
price.
Mr.. Murphy intends to put this situa-
ton before the chamber of commerce, and
the chamber of commerce in turn Will
take it up actively with the railroads.
1t is believed that Atlanta is destined
in the immediate future to take her place
side by side with the most attractive of
the southern winter resorts, and the ad-
vatnages of all kinds which will accrue
to the city by such a development are
better imagined than estimated.
With a big, up-to-date tourist hotel es-
AL nnEIrDaSS66
commodations, with the glorious climate
of this ''city set among the hills, with
the many points of interest nearby and
the many excursions that could be made
with this as a central point. it is deemed
certain that the tourist tide once started
In this direction will soon be rushing in
at it's flood. U.s.
The direct commercial value to the
city, the actual amount of money 1t will
bring directly into the Golfers of local
merchants and business men, the Indirect
profit will be to the city in thousand
ways, make IL a prospect attractive to
everybody who has the growth and de-
yelopment of Atlanta at heart.
WILL. ASK FOR RATES
Secretary Walter G. Cooper, of the
chamber of commerce, has taken the
matter up and states that at the next
meeting of the Southeastern Passenger
association, c. e Harmon. general pas
senger agent of the w. & A railroad,
will ask that Atlanta be given the tour
list classification on the rate books.
IT is the opinion of leading railroad
men that with the hotel facilities Allan
ia already has. supplemented by the
handsome tourist hotel now contemplat-
ed, Atlanta will certainly be given the
tourist center classification.

a decision reached by the Democratic
executive committee of the 18th senatorial
district of Georgia. which convened in
Vienna this morning Crisp county will be
allowed to nominate the senator from the
district in the approaching primary. The
committee carefully considered the claims
of both Dooly and Crisp counties and de-
cided that the claims of the latter were
stronger.
The 14th district is composed of the
counties of Pulaski, Wilcox, Dooly and
Crisp. Before the creation of Crisp
county in 1905. Dodge was one Of the
counties of the district, but Dodge was
transferred in 1906 to the 18th district and

VICTORY FOR TOM JOHNSON IN
WHAT HE REGARDS AS DEFEAT
People Have Lower Fare Un-
der Newly Ratified Fran
ChiSe, They Can Supervise.
Street Railroads Operations
and Maybe Buy Line Later as
Result of His Great Fight
Especial Correspondence

CLEVELAND. Ohio.-Tom L. Johnson s
nine-year war for low street car fare is
over.
The new low fare franchise. ratified by
the people. has gone into effect. giving the
public Scent fare on every line in the
city.
IL is a victory for the low fare move
ment. says the thinking public, which re-
members that when Johnson appeared
nine years ago corrupt city council
was about to grant the traction company
a 5O-year franchise with the fare cents
cash. or six tickets for % cents.
The franchise just accepted by the peo-
pie provides for a sliding rate OF fare
service at cost'-the company to earn 6
per cent on It's capital. the surplus going
to reduce fare. initial rate to be cents,
the maximum rate possible cents, or
seven tickets for % cents. The city will
have full access to the company's books
through its railway commissioner.
The grant is for rs years. II municipal
ownership is. a legal possibility after eight
years the city has the right to purchase
the lines for a fixed valuation.
The public. comparing the franchise 1t
faced nine years ago and the one 1t has
just ratified, regards the latter as VIC
tory for the people and for Johnson, VINO
led the fight and finally forced the cor
poration to its knees.
, Yet Johnson opposed this franchise. He
wished the grant to be given to semi
municipal company. which, he thought,
would see to 1t that Scent fare paid.
The Andrews interests, which own the
Cleveland lines, also own the>traction sys-
TENS of Rochester and other American
cities where the fare is cents, A sue
cessful operation Of the Cleveland lines
at Scent fare might stir up discomfort In
other cities. Johnson fears that they will
maneuver expenses so that cents Will
not pay, and thus compel the maximum
rate of seven tickets for quarter.
When the public ratified the new fran
chise, the capitalistic news associations
wired the news broadcast that Johnson
and his low fare ideas were finally
routed.
And johnson himself. broken in health
and fortunes. said that the long struggle
has ended in a defeat,
But the public, which Is riding for

than seven tickets for a quarter, and
which realizes the municipality may own

Female Weakness.

I should have taken better care Of
myself, I suppose. / was sick and suf-
fering. No one but a woman can ever
know how I suffered. I was irritable.
/ couldn't be to my husband the wife
that ought to have been. He, being
a man, couldn't understand. We drifted
apart He sought his pleasures else
where. Finally there was nothing but
the divorce court that could settle our
differences.
That's the sad story that eight out
of every ten women who have passed
through the ordeal of the divorce court,
as well as the countless thousands of
deserted wives who are not divorced,
know deep down in their hearts was the
real cause of their troubles.
