that as a member of the police com
mission he will try to carry out the
wishes of the police committee.
Just before going into conference
with Mayor Woodward today Alder
man John f. McClelland said that
such resolution would be presented in
the police committee
I'VE think that the chief should con-
tnue to have cases made where he has
evidence of violations of law" he said.
But these women must be allowed to
live. | understand that they are scat

licemen are guarding them day and
night. Ii looks rather strenuous for a
policeman to be logging the heels of
a woman simply because her character
is not above suspicion
Alderman A. H. Van Dyke. also a

girl gave her age as eighteen. but the
ordinary was in some doubt when he
saw that her skirt barely reached be-

The animal is not bit awed by the
streets and lights of the city. The po-
Tcemen who gave 1t chase say that ii
was aggressive at first snarling and
showing fight. Several of the dogs
that it has chewed up have local re-
nown as fighters, and the fact is an
other element in the terror of the res
idents beyond the Terminal station.
Policemen specially armed will be de-
tached to stalk the cat tonight. Its
lair has not been discovered, and no
signs of its presence can be estab-
Iished in the daytime, except the
wounds of it's victims, and the chick
ems that it has killed.
The animal is a wildcat, of the kind
known to north Georgia mountains, the
policemen who saw it say. 1t is a
large. dark furred cat. with short legs
and long SinuouS body.

Wildcat Seen
By Many Residents.

A number of residents of the neigh
borhood of West Hunter and Davis
streets have reported to the police that
they have seen the cat. The section of
the street in which it appeared is in
a state of terror, and until the cat is
killed. comings and goings at night will
be few
The neighborhood in which the cat
was seen is easily more than mile
from the city limits, and more than
that from any wooded tract of Sufficient
size to form the home of catamount
The venturesome beast is supposed to
have been driven from its forest home
by the mildness of the winter and by
the scarcity of substances to be OBJ
tanned. No information regarding the
escape of a Gagged animal has been
posted, and it is certain that the cat
amount of the Terminal district is one
of pristine wildness.

HOCSEY ON ADVERTISING.

Some Essential Elements In sueesss-
fully Conducting Ad. Agencies
Many are called, but few are
wanted"
Many ambitious. well meaning col
ored men have felt the call to enter
the advertising agency business, says
Albion Lewis Holsey, but few have
been able to stick" and IL were ask
ed to give the reasons for this contain
don they would be stated in part as
follows:
CSiOced advertiser d not eooA.cs
national publicity campaigns in the
real broad sense OF the word. There
fore they do not have occasion to show
their race loyalty" by placing their
business through the colored agent.
To be sure, there are many colored en-
terprises whose annual business goes
into the thousands and who should
conduct such campaigns, but as a rule
they are local advertisers. because their
business has been built up in some To-
cality through years OF patient toll and
energy Of perhaps one person who de-
ponds entirely on local trade.
Again. advertising agents lack capt.
tai. To establish an agency requires
sufficient backing TO carry the business
at least two years under present cOndi-
tons. Postage, stenOgraphic help, etc,
make rapid inrOads on small bank
account. but these helps are essential
to the establishment OF such business.
The publisher must have confidence
in the new concern, and the advertiser
who is responsible will not trust his
advertising business to any concern
unless reasonably sure that it will
make a judicious investment OF his
money. To obtain this confidence ne
cesSitates a great deal Of advertising.
Furthermore. the white advertiser
knows and appreciates the value OF the
service offered him through the adver-
Using agent, aud his demands for bet
ter qualified workers in this field and
the natural growth of his business have
opened the way for thousands OF white
agencies TO handle their enormous busi-
ness. Thus none OF the business from
white concerns is left TO the colored
agent with his limited experience and
resources.
