Frame Ordinance
To Danish Machines

The first step toward sending the
nickel slot machines to the junk PIE
will be taken at the meeting of the
council committee on legislation this
afternoon. The committee will recon-
mend an ordinance to council barring
the machines from locker clubs ana
beer saloons. The ordinance was
introduced in council some time ago
bv Councilman c. d. Knight. 1t has
been approved by the police commit
tee.
Carlos H. Mason, chairman of the
police commission, is known to be in
favor Of the abolition of the machines
On account of the legal technicalities
he believes the simplest way to do 1t
would be for council to pass the ordi-
nance prohibiting them in saloons and
locker clubs. Chief Beavers and his
policemen would do the rest.
Saloon Men Have No Regrets.
Near beer saloon men themselves de-
clare that the machines should not be
permitted. While the large manufac-
turing company that owns them gives
the saloon men IS per cent of the prof
its, many of the saloon proprietors say
they have allowed them in their places
only in lf-defense. Their competi-
tors had them and they were losing
trade without them.
1t develops that after endeavoring to
comply with the law with all sorts of
technical mechanism, the promoters of
this gambling system have finally put
out machines that are as pure gam
bling devices as a roulette wheel.
There is not even any of the cheap
chewing gum in the late machines. In
stead of the indicator showing what
the result of the first play will be, every
play is a gamble.
Winnings For House Heavy.
1t is said that the plan showing what
the winnings Of the first nickel would
be hurt business.
One proprietor of a downtown saloon
said that the winnings of the machine
in his place averaged about $75 per
week. Another said the profits from
the machine in his place reached 1925
a week.
If these figures are near the average
profits from the machine, the total an
nual income from these machines would
be nearer 100000 than 100000, the
figures originally given as the total
annual profits.
The men who pay this profit by play
ing the machines get nothing in return
but the excitement of gambling.

stands with the other "drunks." Ten
days" will be the news.
The last legend reads, "YoU were born
under a lucky star" And there is
probably truth in the last. only fools
are lucky" says the proverb and when
the player reads the letters of this COM
bination he can bralIi himself as others
have already branded him-a fool of
fools. .t..
But just as society protects it's own
from the terrible bondage of poisonous
drugs, SO it has striven to protect it's
weak from the lure of gambling and so
in Atlanta, it will wipe out this menace
"a menace that is not even a gamble,
for there is no chance. 1t is all GER
tainty-certainty of wretchedness on
one side and profits, huge and untold,
on the other.
That vision of the empty Christmas
stocking will dissolve in a thousand
homes when council does it's duty and
abolishes this illegal and ineXcusable
trap. And council will.

CAMBRIDGE, GA, Nov. 29,-Detec-
tives. employed by tobacco growers of
Decatur county Georgia, and Gadsden
county, Florida, are today investigating
the burning Of tobacco barns in these
two counties this week Losses from
the fires are estimated at $4,000
Latest reports are that five tobacco
barns were burned in Florida, near
Quincy. Only two were burned in
Georgia They were on John E. Don
alsons farm, a few miles south Of
Fowlstown,
Sheriff Emanuel went to the scene with
bloodhounds, but the dogs failed to find
the trail, No arrests have been made.
The fires are said to be the outgrowth
of a hitherto peaceful war between
large and small owners Of tobacco lands
in this section, that has been in prog
ress for three years.
The barns burned belonged to what
are known as independent packers and
growers" There has been some diff
ference between these and the Farmrs
Tobacco Protective association because
the independents would not cut down
the acreage oue-half.
Barn Burners Unknown.
No one knows who did the burning.
The crowd that burned barns in Flor
ida fled toward Georgia. and those
burning bards in Georgia were seen
going toward Florida. mounted on
horses with guns. There We're two OF

Where does the wife profit in either
case?
How are the children made happier if
the player wins than if he loses?
On the winning combinations are
written words that are supposed to tell
the fortune of the player. The first of
these reads:
Your desire will be realized"
It's not the desire of the waiting wife
to welcome a sober, saving husband It's
not the desire of the children, perhaps
longing for warm clothes, or new toy,
or a set of school books.
The only desire that can be realized
is a desire to return to a home where
the wife shudders as she hears the
lurching footstep, where no childish en-
brace greets the home coming father,
but where childish fear takes the place
Of childish kisses.
