PLAN APARTMENT HOUSE

A more encouraging tone is shown in
real estate and building operations. A
number of builders have been looking
around for loans. and it is probable that
much new work will be undertaken as
soon as the festivities in connection with
the installation of a new President are
ended.
Naturally, some Of the heads of govern
ment under the Taft regime will return
to their homes and business. leaving
homes on the market in this city. Rec

new administration.
There Is some inquiry for money for
new apartment house in the northwest
section, a little out. and it looks as If
this structure night be under way before

There is less uneasiness among gov

classification, and it is expected that they
will be looking for homes to about the
same extent as usual in the near future
All n all. the outlook is satisfactory.

BALTIMORE, July 17.-That the
Baltimore representative of the fam

permit representatives of the United
States Fidelity and Guaranty Com
pany to be present when Painters

Painters vital organs was resumed.
Superintendent Walker of the cas-

of the Painter family had refused to
allow him to attend the analysis he
had offered him several small bits

He's the Real EarIy-and-Late
Worker of the 1918
Assembly,

The thing that worries Representa-
tive Shelby Myrick of Chatham more
than anything else in his Legislative
line OF duty, is the thought that some
OF these days he may run out of work
as chairman of the House Committee
on Constitutional Amendments.
At Present Mr.. Myrick's committee
meets only morning, noon and night,
and the thought continually obsesses
the gentleman from Chatham that it
might, If it tried right hard, meet a
little oftener.
All the new county propositions are
threshed out before Myrick's commit
tee, and as there are twenty new
counties applying for admission,
Myrick and his colleagues frequently
are held far into the wee sma' hours
Of the morning listening to patriotic
and liberty glowing sons of Georgia
discussing, pro and con, the merits
of the proposed Grand Young County
Of Somethingorotner!
Even dLlCI NJ ~ IGN ItLlIeb at IllShl
some grand young county generally
come out after he drops to sleep and
camps on his manly chest until day
light
If Myrick ever gets through with
the present lineup of new counties,
he says he is going to retire perma-
nently from the Constitutional
Amendment business. In the mean
time. however, one must be game
and stand by ones guns.
AS a matter of fact, Myrick of
Chatham is one of the effective and
influential members of the House. His
mother, Mrs. Louise Myrick, of Sa-
vannah, formerly Of Americas, is one
of the most brilliant women in Geor-
gia, and her son inherits her ability
and intelligence.
The gentleman from Chatham is
one OF the prominent lawyers practic-
ing at the Georgia bar.

Hundreds See Red
Star, Mystery to

Astronomers and hundreds of At
lantans who delight in gazing at the
moon were treated to a peculiar and
we-inspiring spectacle about 8
o'clock Wednesday night.
For several nights there had been
seen two beautiful stars close to the
moon. One was brilliant and per-
fectly white Its position in the early
part of the night was above the moon.
just a little to the left. The other
was of ruby color, very brilliant. 1t
was above the moon, just a little to
the right.
Wednesday night at the hour men
toned, the red star began to move,
slowly but distinctly, IN a southwest
eriy direction, gradually falling until
it vanished just above the horizon.
1t was about ten minutes from the
time this star began its descent until
it vanished.

MEXICO
officers at Fort Mcpherson Be-
Iieve Secretary Will Urge 1t
Be Made Brigade Barracks,

That Secretary of War Garrison, on
completing an inspection of Fort Nc
Pherson Thursday morning, was IA
vorable to the retention of the fort
as a brigade post was the belief Of
local United States Army officers
who conversed with him.
Secretary Garrison and his party,
consisting of Major General Leonard
Wood, chief of staff; Major General
James B. Aleshire, chief of quarter
masters corps; Captain S. J. Bayard
SchindeI and his secretary, Walter R.
Pedigo, arrived at the fort at $50
o'clock in company with General r.
K Evans, Of the Second Brigade,
First Division; Colonel Barth and
Aide de Camp Tucker.
They were met by Colonel ]. T.
VanOrsdale, in command of Fort Nc
Pherson, and the officers at the post.
AS the Secretary of War entered the
fort in his automobile, a resounding
salute was fired from one of the big
gest guns.
Immediately Colonel VanOrsdale
took Secretary Garrison and Major
General Leonard Wood in charge and
for three hours the three men, fol-
lowed by the officers and newspaper
men, explored every inch of ground
within the confines Of the fort. The
big guns in the woods, together with
the intrenchments and other facilities
for which the fort is noted, were in
spected. Several times Secretary
Garrison was heard to express ap-
prevail and nod assent.
Meets All the Officers.
Returning from the survey, Colonel
VanOrsdale took the Secretary and
his party to his quarters, where each
officer stationed at the fort was intro
duced. Here the entire official body
fingered for more than an hour.
At all times did the Secretary give
every indication that he considered
Fort Mcpherson an ideal location, and
it is practically assured that he will
recommend that it be retained and
made brigade post.
In the event this action is met ia
vorably by Congress. the capacity Of
Fort Mcpherson will be increased
about three times, and it will become
one of the largest military posts in
the United States.
Thursday afternoon Secretary Gar
rison and his party were shown the
sights of Atlanta by prominent BUSH
ness men who placed their automo-
biles at their disposal
Following this, the party will be
entertained at a 4 o'clock dinner at
the home of General r. K Evans,
corner of PeaChtree and Fifth streets.

Spectators Rub
Sacred Bull Bald,
to Change Luck

CHICAGO, July 17.-Speculators at
the stock yards here to-day embraced
new hope that their fortunes would
change and profits would displace the
losses that have been general for the
last week. The new hope came with
the arrival of a sacred bull in a ship
ment Of cattle.
Tradition says good luck comes TO
him who rubs the hump on the back
Of a sacred bull. The hump on the
back of this particular bull was
rubbed until bald spots appeared.
The sacred bull was one of the cat

PLANS
PACT WITH
FARMERS
State Federation and Planters
Union to Cooperate in Moves
Beneficial to Both.

S. B Marks, president of the Geor-
gia Federation of Labor, announced
Thursday that a joint meeting of the
executive board of the Farmers IN
ion and the executive board of the
State Federation Of Labor would be
held at an early date for the purpose
Of brining the two organizations mot
close cooperative relations through
out the State notwithstanding a basis
OF agreement on which a national
agreement may be made within
short time
AS a preliminary step, Mr.. Marks
and Robert Fechner, secretary treas
urer of the Georgia Federation, will
go to Waycross Saturday to attend
a meeting called for the purpose Of
perfecting a cooperative agreement
in Ware County
James Cowart, president of the
Ware Vounty Farmers Union, and
F. A. Morton, ex-vice president of the
Georgia Federation of Labor and
president of the Waycross Trades and
Labor Assembly, will be among the
others to participate in the confer
ence.
Move Commended by Unions.
Charles S. Barrett, national presi-
dent Of the Farmers Union, probably
will be unable to attend but will be
present at the meeting of the execu-
tive boards later in the month
The proposed State and national
cooperative alliance received the
heartiest commentator Thursday
among the labor representatives in
the city and State organizations.
They welcomed the cooperation of
the farmers and asserted that the al
lance would prove an additional
source of strength to the agricultural
interests as well as to the labor
unions.
President Barrett of the Farmers
Union already has declared unreserv-
eddy for the establishing Of closer re-
lations. That the move on the part
Of his big organization is welcome Is
evidenced by the repeated invitations
which have been extended by the rep
resentatives of the Amrican Fedora
ton Of Labor.
Likely To Be Nation Wide.
President Marks said Thursday thai
the lead of Georgia, in all probability,
would be followed by other States,
and that the basis Of agreement
formed here within a few years would
become a national agreement with
this consummation reached, he said
that the two bodies would be able t.
WELD an incalculable power in the IA
ton.
The cooperative relations will not
be as close as an actual utilization. as
each organization will continue to
have its separate president but it is
not at all unlikely that there will De
an exchange of fraternal delegates
and that the influence of the alliance
will be felt in all matters of impor-
tant interest to either or both of the
organizations.
