LEXANDER AND
HIS ALLY CLASH
OeKaIb Prohibition Champion
Loses Tilt With His Colleague
Over a Minor Bill.

The county of Wheeler. originally
scheduled to be the county Of Kent. was
given its final and finishing touch in
the house today. when the house ac-
cepted the senate's amendment chang
ing the name.
The amendment was not adopted nor
the bill passed without protest
Before the vote was taken. Mr.. Cook
of Telfair, had the clerk read a per
sonal statement in which he vehemently
assailed Mr. Kent, the author of the
bill charging him with misrepresenting
facts and figures in obtaining the pas
sage Of the same, and particularly pro
testing against the politics involved
Il submit" said Mr.. Cook. that the
legislature has been deceived in this
matter, and that this county should not
be created.
Il further charge that the demon of
politics has crept into the creation of
this county: that there was vote trad
ing. and for that reason / protest
against the passage Of this bill. and I
want my protest spread upon the house

Notwithstanding MI. Cooks attack on
Mr.. Kent and the bill. it was passed
with only one dissenting vote-that of

Representative Hooper Alexander
made an unsuccessful effort on the floor
of the house today to defeat a local bin
introduced by his colleague from De-
Kalb Mr.. Field.
This bill provides for the repeal of
the town of Lakeview. and carries a
provision for referendum to the peo--
pie of the town before the repeal shall
become operative.
There is no love lost between the two
representatives from DeKalb, as every
body in the house knows, and when
Mr. Alexander arose to oppose his COL
leagues bill. there was a general cram
ing of necks and a desire to see what
would happen.
Mr.. Alexander made vehement pro-
test against the passage of Mr.. Fields
bill, but after the speech of Mr. Alev-
ander a vote was taken. and Mr. Fields

W. |. Moore, Head of Com
merCe Chamber, Investigates
Retail Stores in Atlanta.

Wilmer l.. Moore president of the
Chamber of Commerce, has been study
ing the high cost of living in Atlanta
While Mr. Moore was frank to admit
today to Georgian reporter that the
problem which has stumpcd the states
men of the world has thus far stumped
him in its local application, he declared
that study had convinced him that The
plan of department food stores sug
gested by the food investigating COM
mittee In New York would not work
here.
In Europe. especially in London. the
people have what they call cooperative
stores, through which they make most
OF their purchases at a smaller cost
than they would have to pay other
dealers, but l do not think the plan
would be practicable for Atlanta" he
said
Since We first watched the cost Of
living begin its steady climb upward
years ago. there have been many plans
suggested to bring the prices to their
former standard. Recently | have been
looking into the question, but am not
ready to suggest a plan.
Buying Direct No Advantage.
Retail department stores huyfnC di-
rect, receiving direct and selling direct
to the people would not, | believe, prove
4 success in this city"
High prices have caused grocers,
butchers and produce dealers in At
lanta to carefully scan the profits, lust
as those self-same prices have caused
anxiety over the kitchen bills in many
homes.
From local merchants the cost and
selling prices Of table articles has heen
compiled showing the percentage
cleared by the home dealer Nearly 20
per cent OF this is consumed in the
management of their business, the deal
ers say.
Here is what your grocer in Atlanta

Bill Too Hastily Drawn.
This bill seems to have been too

glowing success. Two hundred and

riages were sent for the aged men,
bers and free street car transporta-

bless-yous.

scoTT's NOTES.

Quoting from the Southwestern
Christian Advocate of last weeks is
sue, the editor had this to say about
the recent Home Mission celebration:
"The Rev J. n. Wallace, ID. D., our
pastor of Scott church, Denver, Colo,
delivered an address before full
audience during Home Mission week,
in the Highland Methodist Episcopal
church of Denver, DR.. c. o. Thibe-
deau, pastor. The Highland church
is one of the leading white churches
of Denver, and DR.. Wallace made a
fine impression Thank you, editor.
The three days dinner was a great
success from every standpoint. Those
who worked so nobly deserve much
praise for their unstinted labor. A
large amount was raised to meet
some urgent obligations. The Ladies'
Aid Society is an Indispensable fac
tor in the social and financial life of
the church.
DR.. S. S. Turner made a splendid
impression at the recent union
Thanksgiving service, with her fine
soprano voice. The doctor Will assist
with the choir.
The musical and literary program,
lead by Mrs. E. P. Johnson and Miss
Leila Rice, was greatly enjoyed by the
appreciative audience. Miss Esther
Raglen had charge of the program
DIR. Turner read a very illuminated
paper on Thanksgiving.
Mrs. Callie Tompkins lead the
League last Sabbath with a vim that
is always calculated to make these
topics interesting. Prof. l.. H. Light
ner will lead next Sunday. The sub
ject of the topic for Sunday is I'm

Strength of Certainty in Belief"

Ross was very seriously scalded last
Wednesday while the mother was pre-

ment is held out for her recovery.
