Atlanta Sunday Laws
Under Discussion.

Atlanta, May 9.-Whether Atlanta
is moving toward a greater laxlty VI
a greater strictness in her SUNDAY
laws, and which direction is really
the reform direction from human
itarian standpoint, are the most
serious and complicated questions
now pending before the municipal
government.
Two remarkable motions were up
before the park board yesterday.
One was to discontinue the public
bathing and swimming in the Pied
mont park lake on Sunday, because
it was a violation of the Sabbath
sacredness, and the other was the
petition of Rev. William R. Owens,
pastor of the Capital Avenue Baptist
Church, for the right to hold rellg-
ious services in Grant Park on Sun
day afternoon.
The board has not acted definite
ly on the bathing proposition. The
Atlanta Star, an afternoon paper,
which, with some show of truth,
claims to represent the working peo-
pie, says it would be terrible hard
ship and injustice to close the bath
ing houses on Sundays because the
park is the only place working peo-
pie can 90 for such recreation, and
Sunday the only day in which they
can 60. 1t is pointed out that the
more favored classes can 60 to the
Country Club at East Lake every
Sunday, where bathing, swimming,
golfng, tennis and other outdoor
sports are INDUCED in freely, yet no
body says that it is a violation Of the
Sunday law.
Whether or not a minister should
be allowed to hold services Sunday
afternoon in Grant Park is also
arousing discussion. The Park board
previously turned down the request
on the ground that the park is not
a proper place to hold religious ser
vices, and that it is a public insti
tuition where Christians, Jews. Greeks,
Protestants, Catholics. Mormons and
Mohammtans have an inaIienable
right to walk beneath the trees and
listen to the birds without being
forced to listen to anybody's relig-
ious teachings.

Grand Opera House
Opens Tomorrow

Messrs. Miller & Kicker make the
announcement that they will for
mally open the Grand Opera House
with matinee tomorrow afternoon
and a moving picture and vaude-
vile performance at night.
The opening of the Grand is a
matter in which practically every
body is interested, for it will fill the
longfelt need of an auditorium.
Since the destruction of the Corn
and Cotton Palace by fire many
years ago, Fitzgerald has had no
suitable place for large gatherings,
but with this handsome theatre, this
inconvenience will be thing Of the
past.
The Grand is located right in the
center of the business section, be-
ing available to residents of all parts
of the city. The int rior is finished
very beautifully, the walls being
delicately tinted, and the scenic
effects for the stage are exquisite.
The Grand will seat 1850 people
comfortably. 1t will be used by the
lessees, Messrs. Miller & Kicker, as a
moving picture theatre during the
summer season, but during the win
ter months will play all the big
operas:
Tomorrow afternoon and night the
program will consist of three acts of
vaudeville, consisting of a team
and quartette; also three reels of
pictures. The price of admission re-
main the same for light performance
10c, and for the matinee Sc.
The gallery of the Grand will be
used altogether for negroes, whose
entrance will be at one of the side
doors.

Every time an old bachelor meets
young widow he gets stage fright.
When some people pray it sounds
more like an order than petition.
A prima donna doesn't always lose
her temper when she goes up in toe
air.
Eternity seems long time-except
to a couple of women engaged in say
ing good-by.
Many a woman drives her husband
to drink and then bIames him for
letting her do it.
What a small boy can't understand
is how small girl manages to keep
her hands so clean.
How contented most women seem
to be who live alone-and how disoon-
tented most men are who try 1t!

~. 5. Inspected"
Lard Was Candy.
Preacher Shows
House Committee What
Such inspection" U.s..

Washington, d. g., May g.
The Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane
of Michigan told the House Com
mittee on Expenditures in the
Agricultural Department to-day
now in her opinion the meat in
spection law had been vltiated bv
regulations made by the bureau of
animal industry in the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Mrs. Crane
appeared in support of the resolu-
ton of Representative N e | S n
which asks for congressional in
ouiry into the administration Of
the meat inspection law.
The witness resented the sug-
gestion. that she charged con-
spiracy between the beef trust and
the Department Of Agriculture.
She said she simply was trying to
show how the regulations of the
department had lowered the re-
quirements of meat inspection and
increased the possibility of fraud
and deception on the part of the
packers.
Mrs. Crane made no specific
charges of fraud against any pack
er.
Here is an object lesson" said
Mrs. Crane, producing a lard can
embellished with the label Of a,
we'll known packing house.
Attached to the label was the
legend, inspected by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and passed." inside the lard can
was the government seal. Quick
ly breaking the seal Mrs. Crane
exhibited the "lard." 1t proved
to be a couple of pounds of brown
taffy done up in tissue paper
When the laughter had sub
sided Mrs. Crane passed the candy
around.
Mrs. Crane recounted her ex-
periences in packing houses in
several cities TO show that the
ante-mortem examination OF cattle.
and hogs was perfunctory a. d that
condemned meat was 5}ot SO laoell-
ed, although the law requires that
it be stamped and destroyed.
The witness paid tribute to
the employees of the meat inspec-
ton service. Instead Of criticisiDg
them she criticised the department.
People we're beng deceived, she
SAID, by the descriptions Of ante
norton examinations given the
country by Solicitor McCabe and
Chief Melvin and the bureau of
animal industry. Mrs. Crane will
continue her testimony tomorrow.

AsIDIN' BY the Law

dedicated TO Uncle SAM
We sat beside our Office desk-our heart was gay and light;
Our books we're almost put in shape--the future looked more bright
Than eer before. We had with care gone over all our lrts'
And fixed them up In just the way that Uncle Sam insists.
Delinquent ones were gently told, "Pay up or you'll be dropped;
While on the other hand, all those whose papers now were due,
Were likewise notified and asked to come and pay up, too.
Our debtors all had statements, yea, we sent them far and wide,
And now at the corrected books We looked with gladstone pride.
We thought, III anyone objects Wen stand behind te law
The door came open with a bang-a woman stepped within
She had a fierce, determined air, and sharp, aggressive chin;
She locked at IS with piercing gaze-she searched our SOU, ,M Mnt a. ,au ,,

We hesitated; "WeI. YOU G you didn't tell us to,

IT'S simply stealin! You're a fraud! You know that you're to blame,
III tell some either folks of this! I'll fix your little game"
She stamped her FOOT She shook her fist You'll never get a dime!'
Next time perhaps you'll know enough to stop il when it's time!'
The front door slammed. In melancholy thought we sat until
The fire went out-w@ had cold feet and chattrng teeth from chhL
And cold aud miserable and blue, while sthl we huddled there
We heard ali angry tlead and la man beside u chair
We looked up then and tried to smile, but CHANGING at the lace
The smile froze fast upon our own-we covered mack to- place
Upon the desk with heavy thud, he let his cenched first talt
While faint from sense of unknown guilt, we fell against the wall.

place of worship of which they may
well be proud. The church is one OF
the prettiest little buildings in Linton

A little excitement was caused one
day this week, when John Quincier,
living a few miles from town, at
tempted to show how one Of the local
cream stations should be run. A
short time previously he had been
arrested, along with Fred Lout, for
%disorderly conduct and a revolver
taken away from him. Monday he
started a small riot by making a
pass as though to draw a revolver
while in an argument on Main street.
IAN attempt 1as made to overcome
him, but he escaped to his wagon and
made a dash for the country, while
his pursuers were attempting to sig
nal Norbert Billingsley, the marshal,
to intercept him. He made pretty
good time in his flight and has not
been see in town since. a.
The marriage Of Lee Hanley and
Miss George Biddlecomb, two young

neighborhood. Their many friends
wish them the best Of success.
