resolution providing that the library ehall be kept open until o'clock every night was introduced by Judge Lane yes
 terday morning at the commission meet ing. In order that the commission might become more familiar with the expenses entailed the resolution was ordered car ried over until the next meeting.
 The commissioners are agreed that the library should be kept open until that hour of the night on account of the fact ] that many people who would like to make use of the books are prevented from doing so on account of the fact that they cannot escape from business in the after moons.
 The members of the board of education are hearty in accord, and there is no doubt but that the innovation will be put into effect at the next meeting of the commission

LOCAL BASKETBALL PLAYERS
 GRIDDLED BY THE GEORGIAN


 many of the Atlanta Athletic club sup porters will advocate playing until the local club wins, and then in taking the action that now seems inevitable.'
 As result of the saving" clause 1t Is apparent that the Birmingham Athletic club will be compelled to play the Atlanta Athletic club until the latter wins q game from the former which means that in spite of the desire of the Georgian scribe, the two teams, when Jupiter topples over drunk with nectar, or when Gabriel toots the horn of mellow note, will be clasped in q struggle of death to the fore of a bunch of spectators from whose onre virgin chlns knotted boards have sprouted. For there is something in the bone of the athlete from Georgia which handieaps him to such an extent that when face to face with the Alabamian he is a predestned and therefore necessary victim. At times he rallies and battles with blooded eye, he gnashes his teeth that fate has cheatedl him of his opportunity. he despises him. self for the weakness to which he has fallen heir-but all to no purpose.
 Concerning a game such as that of Sat urday night between the basketball teams of Birmingham and Atlanta, 1t is best to say very little. In an effort to accom- plish that which they knew to be impos- slple, lhe bentlellen lrom Atldnta forgot themselves. They forgot that their blood is that which has made the south fa- nous for it's culture. They forgot that the audience was not composed entirely of the male contingency. They forgot many other features and factors equally 2 essential to be remembered
 So let us all forget it all. Of course, if Atlanta will not play us again, then we are the losers-which we might never be if they fail to abide by their present threat.
