Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-08-15
BY Percy II. Whiting.


II Atlanta! The man who was
unceremoniously fired as At
lanta manager after he had won
two pennants in three years is
coming back triumphanty. And
this despite the fact that since he
left Atlanta he has failed, both a
Buffalo and at Chattanooga.
And thus is the dope overturned.
THIS move is taken to mean not
only:
That Bill Smith is coming
back as manager, but
2, That the Georgia Railway and
Power Company viii not sell Its
franchise this year, even though it
has had tentative offers. and
g. That the present board Of di-
rectors. consisting of Messrs. Frank
Galloway, Charles Nunnally and
Gus Ryan, will retain their posi-
tons for another year
1t seems entirely certain that the
local street railway company ls go
ing to hang on to the franchise.
They don't have to. They turned
down an offer last year of 100000,
mostly in cash, for 1t because they
doubted the policy of selling it to
those who made the offer. They
have chances this year, too provid-
ed they would make the price right.
But 1t is a certainty that they
would not saddle any possible pur-
chaser Of the franchise with man
ager provided they had any notion
Of selling
BY the same token 1t is deduCed
that the present board OF directors
will consent to hold Office again
They are too good sportsmen and
too good business men to nail onto
any succeeding board Of directors a
manager who might be entirely un-
satisfactory So the naming of
Bill Smith at this early stage Of
the game can be taken as strong
indication that Messrs. Galloway,
Nunnauy and Ryan have been
asked to serve again and that they
have accepted the offer.
WILLIAM ANDREW SMITH,
w known wherever baseball is
PLAYED as Bill Smith, was born in
Chmicothe. Ohio, some 81 years
ago. or thereabouts. Bill never
did take kindly to telling his age,
so some doubt exists. But any
way. 40 is near enough for all prac-
teal purposes.
Early records of Smiths life are
missing He moved to Springfield
when boy and got his trst start
there.
smith received frst-class
school education, but did not go to
college. Before the age when the
average man is honing up on Viz
gil. higher algebra and preliminary
German or French, preparatory to
brushing by into college, Bill Smith
was playing baseball.
Burs first real engagement was
with Fll<hayt. His other were with
Fort Wayne, Springfield. Hamilton
greensboro. Knoxville. LYnchburg,
Norfolk. Macon, Atlanta, Buffalo
and Chattanooga

BUFFERS FINANCES.

1t is with considerable pride in our
city administration that we call atten-
ton to the fact that the financial state
ment of the city of Butler for the six
months ending June 80, 1912, which
was published in our last issue, shows
better condition of affairs on July
LIST than any statement which has
been issued for years has shown for
the same period.
1t is usually the case that the mid
summer statement finds the funds in
depleted condition owing to accu-
mutation of obligations to be met af-
ter the first of the year, but the 1912
statement shows a balance on hand
in all funds of $40, 334.94, and this
in spite Of the fact that a new engine
was installed at the light plant and
paid for, and light bonds amounting
to 5000 were taken up.
Every fund shows a substantial
balance, as follows: General, So, 49,
IS; light, $l,184.26; road, 81, 413.3 SO;
water, $589.17; cemetery, 1928. %.
The total bonded Indebtedness of the
city is shown to be $4,000, bearing
interest at 4 per cent. from March 1,
1912, having been incurred in the
erection of light plant.
The statement is well gotten up
and details receipts and disburse-
ments in the several funds clearly and
concisely, showing in the whole that
Buffers finances are indeed in a
healthy condition.

new HAMPSHIRE
VOTE WON BY TAFT
ROOSEVELT MEN ADMIT THAT
PRESIDENT, SECURED ALL
DELEGATES IN PRIMARY.

Concord, N. H.. April pa revision
)of the figures in yesterdays republi-
can election for delegates to the state
and district convention on April 80
ives adopted today by both the Taft
and Roosevelt campaign managers but
in each political camp the figures only
served to emphasize the victory Of the
president.
Many little towns far to the north
and in other remote localities still
were to be heard from at 10 a. M, but
up to that time figures at the Roose-
welt headquarters stood: Taft 400,
Roosevelt 224, with 1T delegates to be
reported.
Roosevelt leaders admitted that they
did not expest to have New Hamp-
shire delegates to the Chicago con-
vention.
The presidential preference vote as
tabulated at Roosevelt headquarters
showed Taft lead of three thousand
in total vote of 10000. Gov. Bass,
the Roosevelt leader, said that he was
discouraged at the result. Although
defeated those in sympathy with the
Roosevelt movement, he thought con-
tinue to fight shoulder to shoulder for
cleaner politics. The Taft supporters
were jubilant over the victory and said
it would have a direct effect on the
Massa chusetts primaries next week.
Taft to Get Rhode Island.
Providence, r. l., April 24.-No oppo-
sition to the election Of delegates fav-

Taft was expected to develop today
in either the state or the three district
conventions to select Rhode Islands
representatives to the republican ma
tional convention. The slate of dele.
gates was completed yesterday.
