The new armory at Dover, which is

ATLANTA POLICE
JUST CAN'T BEHAVE

Atlanta, Sept. 19.-The Atlanta city
police force, or, to be more just, indi-
yidual members OF it, are getting ''in
bad" in a dozen different ways re-
Gently by alleged defections from the
straight and narrow path. Some have
been accused of drunkness, some OF
shielding vice, some of kissing ladies
in the park, and now Detective John
Black has got himself arrested for en-
gaging in a fst-fight in Birmingham.
The man Black is alleged to hav7
fought with is J. F. Hargrove, also OF
Atlanta. Since the affair occurred
while Black was off duty, and in an
other city, there seems to be some
question as to whether charges will
be preferred against him here, 0.

board would have in the affair

SNEAK THIEF GETS ODDS
And ENDS FROM OFFICE
LINOTYPE OPERATOR WHO LOST
HIS PANTS IN A SORROW
PLIGHT.

A rather persistent sneak thief seems
to be operating in the Office of The
Times-Recorder recently, and his lat
est visit was on Thursday night or
early Friday morning, when a pair Of
old trousers used by linotype opera
tor was stolen, together with a small
key to tool box. The trousers are of
small value, and the operator in ques-
ton does not mind the loss of them
but would like to have the key return
ed. A number of small tools and parts
of machinery have been missed during
the past few weeks, as well, and the
police have been asked to appreherd
the thief, but as yet have been unsuc-
cessful. There is no clew as to his
identity.
Isn't it a pity some people will steal
such small things?

WE'LL have FRAUDS
With US UNTIL
CHRISTMAS time

Atlanta, Sept 19.-In conformity
with the statements ventured at the
time by the papers that there has never
been the slightest possibility of hanging
Frank on the date originally set for
the execution, it is announced today
that the motion for new trial will not
be heard in the lower court until De-
cember and that in the meantime, there
will be a respite to carry the time o.
execution over into the next year
An interesting complication is the
fact that the motion will not be
heard by Judge L. S. Roam, who pre-
sided at the trial, but by Judge Ben Hill
who steps down from the state court Of
appeals to the superior court bench
under appointment from Governor
Slaton.

An Editors Savings,

Did any one ever hear of a country
editor that ever had any money? They
are as hard to find as it is to find the
aurora borealis at the equator They
just keep pegging, giving free notices
of the happenings, giving their space
for all the charitable enterprises, MAX
i : donations to whatever comes along,
doing what little good they can to-
Yards the uplifting of theft sections
and the uplift of their people, saying,
saying good things of the people wiz
die and get married, but money is a
commodity unknown to them. But 4
wealthy one has been discovered. Says
the Editor and Publisher:
An editor who started about twenty
years ago with only fifty-fve cents, is
now worth 100000.
His accumulation of wealth is owing
to his frugality, good habits, strict at
tention to business, and the fact that
an uncle died and left him $99,999.

READERS WILL LIKE
new FEATURES
First Class Illustrations viii
Be Run

| The Times-Recorder has added an
other feature that the management is
sure will please the readers of the pa
per. Arrangements have been made
by which the local paper will be able
to secure the latest cuts for illustra-
tons Beginning next week our stor-
les of what happens all over the world
will be illustrated.
Nothing adds to good paper as
much as good, clear cuts of subjects
in the public eye. The service as used
by The Times-Recorder is far-reaching
in it's scope 1t is usually carried by
only the larger papers of the country,
such papers as the Birmingham Led
ger, the Houston Post, and the Atlanta
Journal using it. The Times-Record-
er is fortunate in being able to secure
the service for its readers.
During the coming worlds series,
special feature pictures of the hap
penings of the big games will be IL
Illustrated. The Times-Recorder read
ers will be able to gaze upon the fea-
lures of Muggsy McGraw and of Con-
ME Mack, together with their aggre-
cation of stars.
