HIS LETTER:
Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 18th, 1912
Hon. J. R. Smith,
Chairman Chambers Campaign
Committee,
City.
Dear Mr.. Smith:
MY attention has been called to the
fact that Mr.. Woodward's Campaign Com
mittee has published excerpts from pub
Gshed statements recently made by me- to
the effect that there was measure of merit
IN some of the criticisms recently made by
Mr.. Woodward with reference to the citv
government.
Lest my meaning should be misunder-
stood, wish to say at the time of making
the statements accredited to me- and which
were reported substantially correct, had
just returned to the City Hall from an ex-
animation of the work in progress on
Peachtree Street, between Harris and Ba-
.ker Streets, where I had discovered that
the work had not progressed toward COM
pletion TO the extent thought it should
was annoyed over this situation, and
when asked what thought of certain state
ments accredited to Mr. Woodward, 7 used
substantially the language as published in
the newspapers.
This was not intended, however, as as
senting to, or approving all of the criti-
cisms made by Mr. Woodward On the
contrary, I wish to say that during the
past two years, the terms of the bond ordi-
nance have been strictly complied with by
the bond commission and the general coun-
Gil, and the bond money has been honestly
and economically expended as the people of
the city directed when they voted the
bonds.
Contracts for it's expenditure have al
ways been let, after the fullest advertise
ment and broadcast publicity, to the lowest
possible bidder, and in many Instances at
considerable saving over the estimate on
the particular work under consideration.
No man connected with the City Gov
eminent was more insistent and careful in
seeing that the terms and conditions of the
bond ordinance were fully complied with
than was Mr.. Chambers He has been
Chairman of the Sewer Committee during
the past two years, said committee having
the supervision of work of constructing
sewers and building sewage disposal plants,
and is entitled to the commentator of the
people of this city for the care: close at
tention, business foresight and ability that
has characterized the discharge of his du
ties as Chairman of this most important
committee.
During his two years service in the
City Council under my administration, Mr..
Chambers has been progressive, and at the
same time safe and CONSERVATIVES man Of
initiative, courage and ability who is fitted
by worth, training and experience to make
a most capable Chief Executive of this
City,
COURTLAND S. WYNN.

Folks from Vermont"

The title Of the play is suggestive of
its character and composition. 1t is
surely rural comedy drama, and deals
principally with the life of an eastern
farmer from the hills of Vermont.
Uncle Joshua is not rube, but one of
those up-to-date tillers of the soil who,
together with his daughter, Rosabelle
Higgins. charming young lass, go to
make up the two principal characters
in a pretty and wholesome comedy.
The play is both humorous and pa
thetic, combining many mirth provok-
ing and irresistibly funny situations,
with SC, mes and climaxes of the very
best. The cast is not large one, six
cleverly drawn characters of Vermont
type are required to give the presenta-
tion. Throughout the entire production
is an air of naturalness that will almost
cause one to forget it is play and feel
the scenes are re lity. 1t Is play
of humor and pathos, and keeps the au-
dience alternating between laughter
and tears. The characters are all well
drawn, being all typical folks from Yer
mont. Will be seen at opera house,
Oakes, on Friday evening, Feb. 9th.
