WILL ATLANTA GET A
NEW POST OFFICE BUILDING

Atlanta, May 9.-Atlantians them
selves scarcely realize the significance
of the announcement that the govern
ment is already contemplating new
postoffice building for Atlanta-when
the handsome one erected on Forsyth
street is still new, less than two
years old
The present new structure cost over
100000. 1t is one of the largest
and handsomest fededal buildings in
the South. Though finished within
the last two years, it is now admitted
not only that it is not large enough
to accommodate future growth of At
lanta, but that it is actually not near
large enough at present to handle the
mails properly. There isn't sufficient
floor space
The Washington officials are consid-
ering the ACCESSIBILITY of erecting an
other building at a cost of $2,000,00O.
Either one of two things is therefore
true. Either the government made
stupid blunder in not building the
present postoffice building larger, or
the size of Atlantas mails have grown
with unprecedented rapidly. AS a
matter of fact, according to persons
in a position to know the figures,
both things are to a degree true. The
building was not designed large en-
ough, and the growth of postal re-
ceipts has been enormous

Atlanta, May 9.-Thornwell An

tor, is creating CONSERVATION among
the barnyard fowl of the city and
countryside for miles around Every
time the shadow of his aeroplane fits

ILLITERACY IN GEORGIA
is on THE DECREASE

Washington May 9.-The census
bureau today issued statement OF
illiteracy in continental United States
based upon the census of 1910.
1t shows that illiteracy in Georgia
decreased 20 per cent from 1900 to
1910, and that today only 20 per cen,
of the population over 10 years of
age is illiterate. There are 1881
persons oyer 10 years old in the state
and of this number 3S9,775 are class
ed as illiterate. In 1908 there wero
4S0,420 illiterates in Georgia out of
population Of 1,577334 persons over 10
years of age. Few states have shown
such a marked improvement along
this line
The statement shows that there are
only 81 ,07S illiterates among the
white people over 10 years of age, or
Z per cent, whereas there are 30S,63
negro illiterates out of a, population
of S4S,195 negroes over 10 years of
age.
The percentage of negro illiterates
is 36.5. In 1900 the percentage of IL
literacy among the whites in Georgia
was 11.9. The percentage of illiteracy
among the negroes in 1900 was 50
per cent 1t appears from the report
that there is more illiteracy among
the Louisiana negroes than elsewhere
in the United States. Louisiana also
holds the palm for illiteracy among
the whites in TIE South.

CALLED ATLANTA A
LAW ABIDING PLACE
Judge Surprised People In
Court Room

Atlanta, May 9.-Judge w. d. Ellis
of the superior court, caused some
thing of surprise in his charge to
the Fulton grand jury yesterday.
Records of the judges charges to
grand juries for several years past
show that the judges have persistent
ly and specifically called to the atten-
ton of those bodies the alleged facts
that prohibition laws were being open
ly violated, that too much gambling
was going on and that other forms of
immortality needed investigation in
the community.
There has been no notable crusade
against any of these things during
that same period Therefore, the
charge Of Judge Ellis came as a con-
siderable surprise when he informed
the grand jury that Atlanta was the
most laW-abiding community in the
world
The grand jury heaved a sigh of
relief as well as surprise, for with
such a beautiful condition of local
public morality they doubtless feel
that they can confine the discharge of
their duties to matters specifically
brought before them.
Judge Ellis said that Atlanta, in
addition to being the most law-abid-
ing community in the world, is also
the most misrepTesented.

trlcts. James R. Garfield, Walter
K. Brown and other able leaders have
stirred up the northern and central
counties against Taft. Roosevelt will
undoubtedly make a big showing in
more than half the state. Ohio is no
longer republican. Taft carried the
state in 1908 by 1851 plurality. but
Harmon was at the same time elected
governor. In 1910 the democrats
made almost clean sweep. They re-
elected Harmon by 100,377 plurality
elected all the state officers, carried
both houses of the legislature and
elected sixteen of the twenty-one con-
gressmen. There are only five re-
publican congressman left and one
lone senator.
State pride is a factor in national
politics. 1t operated to the advantage
of Hayes and Garfield and Mckinley
and helped Taft four years ago. Will
it be powerful enough to turn the tide
in his favor this year? This week
Mr.. Taft will devote three days to
speechmaking in Ohio. On May 10 he
will return and devote one solid week
to campaigning among his home peo-
pie. If he did not fear the result,
would he exert such efforts in his
own balliwick? After Maryland, ma
tional attention turns to Ohio. If a
president should get a majority Of
the delegates and then fail to carry
his own state, it would be a sad blow
to his prestige

Attorney SharpS
 Sues For Divorce

Attorney Herbert B. Sharps, who has an office in this city in Broad street, but who claims Meriden as his resi- dence, has brought divorce proceed ings against Helen Turney Sharps, daughter of Oliver Turney, a promi- nent Fairfield resident. Sharps all Ieges deseruion, Feb. 16, 1909.
 The couple were married Jan. 14 1899. There is one minor child, Rh oda, aged Il, of whom the father asks the court to give him the custody. Sharps also demands that the court order Mrs. Sharps to change her name to Helen Sherman Turney.
 MT. and Mrs. Sharps have previnous- ly aired their marital troubles in the court. Sharps once claimed that his wife had prevented him from seeing their child and he brought habeas cor puS proceedings which were heard in the Superior court. At that time Sharps alleged his father-in-Iaw had driven him from the Fairfield prem ises at the point of a gun.

erating in raw material made greater dividends than the finished products concerns was cited to show that the corporations kept the price of raw ma terial up to the embarrassment of competitors.
 tionS to prove the steel trust a obm- bination in restraint Of trade was pre- scented in the conclusions of the report.
 ''One hundred and eighty one pre- viously competing corporations were concentrated under the control of a single holding security company known as the United States Steel Corpora tion." Among these concerns, the re- port sets forth ore and mining com tiOn in the sale of ore, railroads, com bined to prevent competition, blast fur mace plants, the combination of which eliminated competition in the sale of pigiron, coal and coke companies and other formerly competing concerns.
 The greater concerns in the iron and steel trust trade, the report said, were acquired vastly by inflated values, due to the superior effect given the mer- ger by the elimination of the com petition of these companies.
 "Other acquisitions were made in re- lated lines of business the report said, flor which no explanations ap- pears except the visible conseq quence, the removal of such concerns from the independent field.'
 This last case, according to the re- port. is the absorption of the Ten nessee Coal & Iron Company.
 In discussing the corporations con- trol of ore, the report asserts that in all, 2,5O0, 900. 900 tons out of 4,462, $40 900 tons of available ore in the country is under the control of the trust.

Brave Interne
 Gives Up Blood To Save Infant

In a brave but futile effort to save the life of an infant, not yet a week old, pr. Edward J. Finn, an interne at St. Vincent's hospital, sacrificed a pint of his own blood in the hospital several days ago, to permit several physicians and surgeons to undertake a treatment thus far new to this city The life of the infant was prolonged several days, but it's death occurred this morning. pr. Finn is still weak, but able to make his rounds.
 The infant, born last Thursday, suf- fered from a hemorrhagic condition of the skin, and the child's life blood was gradually leaving the body. The hospital staff called in several experts owing to the unusual features of the case. It was decided to adopt heroic measures to save the child's life.
 Dr. Finn volunteered to share his blood with the infant. Surgeons made a small tncision in his left arm. laid bare a blood vessel and collected about one pint of the interne's blood Us ing this as the means of securing the missing element of the blood of the infant, the surgeons extracted the necessary serum and injected it in the baby's blood vessels.
 The child apparently rallied, but the infusion of the missing element af- forded only a temporary relief, for the condition of the skin allowed the wasting process to continue until the child,s death occurred this morning.
