ernors next Monday night to give a de-
tailed statement of the present needs

conditions the hospital expenses have
greatly increased. and in order to put
the institution on a good financial ba-
sis, campaign fund must be raised. In

FOREIGN DICTIONARIES
CAN COME IN FREE
fRv Assooiated Press.N

WASHINGTON, Sept. Thames F.
Curtis, acting secretary of the treasury
yesterday took an advanced step to en-
courage the learning of foreign languages
by the American people. He authorized
all English-foreign language dictionaries
to be admitted free of duty.
The tariff act places on the free list
all books and pamphlets printed chiefly
in any language other than English. The
board of general appraisers at New York
recently decided that a certain shipment
of French English and Italian-English
dictionaries could come in free. Some
stickler for the law counted the words in
the books and informed the treasury de-
partment that there was good ground for
appeal to the customs house because
they contained more English than foreign
words. MIR. Curtis interpreted the will of
congress as being to encourage the learn
ing of foreign languages and held that all
such bonafde dictionaries may escape
the usual duty Of % per cent ad valorem
on books.

Atlanta S First War
The Story of the Fight BetuOeen Morals and
RoudySm in The Fortes

these brave men in their effort to cope
with the desperate. Mayor Norcross
jumped out of his old split-bottom
chair and raising it high above his head
in a defensive attitude, awaited the at
tack of the man. who was intent upon
getting at the mayor.
THE BIG STICK"
Sheriff Johnson always carried stout
hickory stick. 1t stood him in good
stead in this emergency. He aimed a
blow at the hand that held the knife.
A second later. the knife was ringing on
the floor and the hand fit subject for
a poultice. Sheriff Johnson and Mr..
Strong seized the prisoner and disre-
garding his scowlfng friends, who lacked
the nerve to carry out their conspiracy,
showed him downstairs into the street
1t was now dark. The prisoner man
aged to get away in the jostling crowd.
He was never seen in Atlanta again.
Next day the town was at fever pitch
Of excitement. Business was suspended.
Men of both factions gathered in groups
and talked threateningly.
BIG TROUBLE FEARED.
1t was feared that several hundred Of
the ''rowdy" party would raise a bloody
riot Timid men spoke of leaving town.
Next night the ''rowdy" party opened
the war.
They got from Decatur a cannon, an
ancient piece Of ordnance, relic OF the
War of 1912. They planted this howit-
ger in front Of the store of Mayor Nor
cross, right in the heart of the town!
They trained the gun upon the building
and fred it of several times. Being
loaded with sand and gravel. it serious
ly soiled his honor's front piazza.
WE WILL RETURN"
The outlaws left a written notice
that Mayor Norcross must either re-
sign or leave town else they would re-
turn and blow up his store! The city
authorities kept at a discreet distance.
The Moral party did not show itself
while this lawless act was going on!
THE WAR ON.
But next day a secret meeting Of
council was held The mayor procla-
mated to the effect that all law-abid-
ing citizens must form themselves at
once into a volunteer police army The
Moral party got busy They assembled
in front OF the Norcross store with
guns and pistols. All day the army was
nightfall. The Rowdy party also per-
fected a warlike force in a house on
Decatur street near where the old Will
bingham building now stands
THEY CAME NOT BACK.
The old cannon had been left in the
middle of the street at the -Four Cor
ners," now called rive Points"-but
the desperate army did not return and
put their threat into execution. Had
they done So a hand-to-hand battle
would have been fought. The Moral
partly were on guard! At midnight.
there being no danger of an attack, a
big squad was detailed to move upon
the enemy in their impromptu castle on
Decatur street. They did so.
And the Rowdy party ran! Not man
stood his ground.
THE REBELLION BROKEN UP.
Fifteen or twenty ringleaders were
captured, marched to the calaboose and
locked upi
Next day they were tried, found
