GASOLINE WAR
BEING WAGED
IN ATLANT II
GARAGE DEALERS BOOST PRICE
OF "NECCESSITY. FOUR CENTS 4
GALLON-AUTO OWNERS KICK

Atlanta, Dec. A gasoline war
that may spread over the entire ma
ton, with far-reaching results to the
individual auto owner, is apparently
about to break out in Atlanta.
short time ago, so it is stated
all of the retail gasoline sellers il
Atlanta with the exception of one
firm, agreed tactitly to raise the price
three or four cents a gallon, to the re-
tail trade because the wholesale price
had gone up little more than one
cent.
The single firm which opposed the
raise. called for the assistance of au'o
owners to fight it, and now number
of leading auto owners are formulat-
ing a petition which will be sent di-
rect to the National Government, ask
ing for government control of the
price OF gasoline.
They contend that no set OF individ
ual retailers should have the right 10
arbitrarily increase the price of a thing
that has become for many people a
necessity of life, to such extent that
the increase means almost a difference
of $1,000 per day to the auto owners OF
the city.
Just how the local fight is going tc
end is at present uncertain.

FIGHTING JOE
JOINS UNCLE
SANS FORCES
FORMER HEAD OF PARK BOARD or
ATLANTA WILL ASSIST COL.
BLALOCK CHASE DOWN MOON
SINNERS.

Atlanta, Dec. Aloe Cochran, the
fighting head of Atlanta's park board,
is going to stop fighting politicians,
and fight moonshiners instead. He
definitely announced today his inten-
ton of resigning from the park board
head and retiring from city politics, in
order to become an officer in the rev.
enue service under Colonel Bud Bla-
lock.
Joe Cochran, who was the beaten
but undaunted hero of Atlanta's last
and greatest artillery battle, will de-
vote his warlike instincts hencefortn
to raiding the mountain stills.
Let not the gentle reader imagine
from these remarks, however that Mr..
Cochran is rough or bloodthirsty, or
that he goes round with a dagger be-
tween his teeth. Far from it. He is
gentle gentleman who has never
stained his hands with blood, but who
just naturall., loves an honest scrap.
When he was head of the park board
he was in a continuous fight about
with somebody. His last
and greatest set-to was with the Gov
ernor, the COMMUNICATIVE hief of
Georgia's army and navy, and the
whole militia force, including the gail
ing gun squad. Joe Cochran had 'em
stood off, single handed, for nearly a
week.
The row was over two old cannon
in the City Park. One day General
O'Bear sent word to Cochran that he
had found out that the cannon belong
ed to the state and not to the city. He

Cochran replied that the cannon had
been in the park ever since the wa,
and that in the park they would re-
that if anybody tried to
take them away, he would turn the
ions loose on 'em
Eventually the governor issued al
'ormal order, which was put in the
hands of the militia and duly served
IN Mr.. Cochran. Even then he would
lot give in.
"If you want those cannon, you'll

This the state eventually did.
One lone man, even with The help Of
he lion, couldn't stand off the whole
state militia and gatling gun squal
But if Joe Cochran could have, he
would have.
