ALARM NEEDLESS,
SAYS CHAMBERS
Candidate for Mayor Admits,
However, City's Problems
Need Attention.

Following Alderman John s. Can
dler's striking interview on conditions
in Atlanta, published IN The Georgian,
Councilman Aldine Chambers, candi-
date for mayor, today gave out the
first formal statement Of his views.
In part. he said:
while see no occasion to be
alarmed at conditions in Atlanta. I ad-
NIT there are problems requiring the
utmost energy and most careful consid-
Grafton. But we have never seen the
was not the case.
The extension of our limits added
100 per cent to our territory and almost
1000 per cent to our mnicipal needs.
The 100000 bond issue has tenn
porarily increased the strain on the
city treasury through the sinking fund
commission.
THE decision of the county commits
sion to spend 100000 worth Of work
on the city sewers instead of 100000
worth has delayed street work CORE
spOndingly.
Means Big Improvements.
But the legislature has amended
the charter, giving the council the right
to revolutionize the street department.
It will mean wonderful improvements.
"Oficials have come to realize the
need OF more improved machinery for
the street department
There should be more cooperation
between the city departments. Each
should know at all times what the 9TH
ers are doing.
-Four years ago the widening Of
Marietta street was considered gi-
gantic undertaking. Today we realize
1t was Just a beginning. Similar plans
are being taken up in all sections Of the
city
I'VE want no stagnant city. We want
our energies taxed to their utmost BY
this means Atlanta accomplishes things
and keeps in the forefront of develop
ment"

HATS MUST COME OFF IN
MAC0N'S PICTURE SHOWS

MACON, GA, Aug 14.-After lying
dormant in the city code for twelve
years, an ordinance requiring women to
remove their hats in theaters will be
enforced hereafter by the picture show
proprietors The ordinance was passed
by council in 1900 before moving pie
ture theaters came into existence, but
it says that ladies in any theater must
remove their hats and this is con-
strued by the city authorities to apply
to the present playhouses. There has
been so mucA complaint against big
hats in the picture shows that the ordi-
nance was dug up and viii now b, put
into effect.

GRACE NOT TOLD
HE'SDOOMEDM MAN
Too Weak to Receive Word of
Failure of Noted Surgeons.
Mother Weeps.

Eugene II. Grace. at the Georgian
hospital, does not know that his for
lorn nope has failed, He viii not know
until he is strong enough to stand the
shock of being told that he is doomed
TO be a helpless invalid for life. and
that mis- life is to be of short duration
DR.. Baxter :. Moore found Grace
badly nausrated after his operation, and
decided that it would not be well to
tell him today that the operation had
failed In the meantime. Mrs. S. L.
Hill. Grace's mother. is with him. She,
under the doctors orders, has given
no intimation that an early end to his
helplessness is probable Weeping be
cause Of the operations failure. she re-
manned away from her sons room to
prevent his seeing her emotion.
Loath to Tell Him of Fate.
His doctors are more than loath to
tell Grace of his fate. He was so su-
premely confident of the success of the
operation that they fear the shock Of
news of its failure will imperiI the brief
life that is in him
The doctors, too, shared his hopes.
From the time they began the opera
ton at Il: 80 o'clock yesterday morning
until they abandoned hope four hours
and a half later. they had believed that
the next few minutes would enable
them to find the bullet and that its ex-
traction would make their patient
whole.
Their disappointment was keen when
the patients condition finally told them
that further probing was Impossible
The operation had been conducted
and planned by N-ray landmarks These
landmarks. the physicians say were
misleading, and the opera ton was never
really possible Of success.
Friends of Grace and his family
called by the score at the hospital or
over the telephone during the day to
find out the progress of the patient,
while the entire hospital corps evinced
great interest in him.
Will Await His Recovery.
When he will be moved from the
Georgian hospital to his home in New
nan is probematical. DIR. Moore pre-
fers that the patient thoroughly recov-
or from his shock before he attempts
the trip.
The paralysis is caused not by the
presence OF the bullet in the canal"
said DIR. Moore. 'It is from the shock
tgiven when Mr.. Grace was first shot
that he ia now paralyzed. We can do
nothing to cure that, and ! don't think
he has many months longer to live
poor fellow He's the gamest man
ever operated on"
Dr. J. S. Clifford who assisted in the
operation stated that in his experience
the patient, when paralyzed like Grace
| is. usually lived from three to nine
months after the injury. That would
give Eugene Grace scarcely four more
months to live.
"I don't wish to be quoted as saying
that Grace will die in a few months, d"
added DR. Moore. TOO many rash
statements have been made in regard
to this case. l don't believe, however,
that he can live. OF course, there's a
chance-there's always a chance-but |
don't think 1t is very strong in this
case"
DR. Moore stated that the X-ray pho
tographs made Of the wounded mans
back were misleading-that they show
ed the bullet to be in his spinal canal
when in reality the bullet was not
touching the canal

swerving loyalty to the policy.
There are some COnservationists who
would have the public believe that
majority of the ConserVationists are OPP
posed to the president. This is not the
fact. few conservationists who have
been able to make much clamor and TO
deceive people into believing that they
constituted a majority are opposed to
the president-not because he is not
cOnservationist, but because he could
not and would not approve illegal meth
DDS and because when they came to re-
gard themselves rs larger than the pol
icy Itself and even as above the law,
Mr. Taft promptly dispensed with their
services But il you will look into the
subject you will find that they consti-
tute a very small minority.
Results Have Been Obtained.
The conservation movement is one OF
the most important in this country, and
that policy has been one Of the most
important and the most strictly adhered
to Of this administration. great part
Of the conservation work of this gov
eminent has been done by the scientific
experts Of the geological survey. OF
course. in the eyes Of certain persons
who can see no good outside Of the for
est service, that in itself is crime.
But the great army of conservation
lists want results. concrete results, and
these they have obtained under the
Taft admin tration For instance, the
surveys classification Of coal lands has
nearly trebled the valuation Of 16,000,-
900 acres Of coal lands. These lands
have been segregated. and not an acre
| is passing to private ownership. Pres
! ident Taft has declared himself un-
equivocaIIy for the leasing of coal lands
and sooner or later congress Will enact
| the necessary legislation. And until Il
does, President Taft will protect these
! lands. as he will ell similar minera
lands, from passing into the hands Of
private individuals. to pass in turn, as
they surely would, into the hands Of
monopolists.
How important is the presidents
stand in this regard may be judged
from the fact that the geological sur
vey has found 10000 900 acres OF ex-
ceptionally rich lignate lands in Mon
tana, Of which one 4O-acre tract con-
tains moro than $500 900 tons,
The Withdrawals made by order of
President Taft include 68215,4S9 acres
of coal lands 4,774,1S2 acres Of oil
lands, 3,340,581 acres of phosphate lands.
1,813,753 acres Of land available for
power sites. 1929 acres set apart for
water reservoirs and moro than 800 900
acres set apart for public waterworks,
experimental station purposes etc. Can
you beat this?
Tribute For Potash.
Do you realize that this country pays
foreign producers of potash $4,000 600
year and that this sum all comes
out Of the pockets Of the American
farmers? President Taft has directed
that all the available scientific knowl-
edge Of the government be directed to
finding a method Of producing this pot

A Patriotic Exercise.

The great object of the G.. A.
r. and w. r.. &. is the teaching
OF patriOtism-lOve of country
love for the flag. To this end
these organizations have, jointly,
prepared a patriotic exercise"
for observance in the schools of
the state. This "patriottc eX-
erciSe'' consists of a "salute to
the flag" and of the singing of
the national hymn, "America,"
to be observed ON the first Mon
day in each school month in
each school room.
The observance of this ''pat-
riOtic exercise" has the hearty
endorsement of Hon. James h.
Delzell, state superintendent, al
so of the county superintendent
of the state in convention assem-
BLEED on january Is, 1912.
At the expense of the w. R.
c., twenty thousand cards con
tanning the Exercise" have been
printed and the state superintend
ent has caused a card to be
placed In each school room.
Nebraska is the first state to
take up, in a systematic manner,
the teaching of patriotism in the
public schools.
The observance of TINS "'pat-
riotic exercise" will tend to teach
a love and respect for our counr
try and for cold Glory among
the coming generation.
1t is hoped the observance of
the "exercise'' will meet with en-
couragement and approval among
all the people.
