Atlanta Council Passes Seq
rGgatiOD Ordinance

Atlanta, June 17.-Race segration in

The measure is said to have resulted
flom recent actions of negroes in one

The ordinance does not seek to force
the removal of negroes who have al

majority of the voters in any block do
not desire negroes to own property
there.
The ordinance provides for the APP

CHATTANOOGA Squirt IS
FEATURE IN The SOUTHERN

Atlanta, June 17.-UneXpected re-
versals of form, sensational spurts and
a general shake-up in the percentage
column have been the features of the
Southern Association pennant race
during the past week.
By all odds the most remarkable
event has been the spectacular squirt
of Norman Elberfelds' Chattanooga
club, which climbed into second place
and now leads Atlanta by a narrow
margin The chief agency in accom-
.plishing this has been the excellent
work of Covaleskie, whose pitching
thus far eclipses anything that he
has done since his advent to the
league.
Mobile, playing to form, continues
to lead the league. A series OF de-
feats has forced Nashville to drop
from second to fifth place, Montgom-
cry leading Manager Schwart's CLUB
by a small margin. Memphis, by
losing to Montgomery stands in I'M
disputed possession of sixth place.
The fight for the title of tail
enders" continues between Birmine-
ham and New Orleans, the latter
club still retaining its firm hold at the
foot of the column.

FIRST WATERMELONS
APPEAR At QUITMAN
Prospects Are for a Fine
Season

Quitman, June 17.-The first water
melons of the season have appeared
here this week, Strickland bringing
in 25-pound Watson and ]. w. Avera
a 2S-pound Watson. The shipping sea-
son will not really begin until the 20th
however. The prospects are fine foT
a fine season and best crop in years.
1t is estimated that the acreage in the
county has been increased fully 33 1-3
per cent and at least 1900 cars will BE-
from the county.
The farmers could begin shipping
melons now but the practice which
once prevailed of shipping green mel
ons from South Georgia has been dis
couraged the melon buying public
knows what a good melon is and re-
fuses to buy the green ones which
once satisfied them, and the railro&d
has ruled that the ship
per is held responsible for the freight
on melon shipments. This will operate
against loading the market with green
melons The Brooks county melons
will be good and ripe when shipped
and will reach the market just in time
for the Fourth Of July demand.

That the Navy Athletic Associa-

Army Navy football game to be play
ed on the Polo Grounds, New York, on

thing like 1900, is indicated by the

and athletics officer at the Naval
Academy.
The Navy Association numbers ap-
proximately 5000 members; and the

allowed four tickets, against three as
heretofore, and with the privilege of
purchasing additional ones from the
management of the Polo Grounds at

will be drawn by lot, but in cases of
purchases that may be made the

that such tickets would be for seats
in different sections of the field than
the ones originally issued.
Application for the purchase of the
admission cards should be made to
the secretary of the Polo Grounds
prior to Nlvemb er 19, for after that
date the management will throw the
books open for sale to the general
public. This, it is said, is in accord

abled hydro-aeroplane 1,600 feet into
Chesapeake Bay the same accident
that caused the death of Ensign

ingsley was at the wheel at the time
of the fatal accident. The air craft
was caught in a sudden puff Of wind.
Jared from his seat, Billingsley
was pitched beadlong into the bay,
and was killed instantly. Towers es-
cape from death was miraculous. He
managed to grasp q strap on one of
the uprights Of the disabled hydro
ae roplaue and fell with il into the
water. He was severely bruised
about the body, but recovered after
three weeks treatment at the Navsl
Hospital.
A board of medical survey recon-
mended three months leave for the
daring aviator, in order that he might
completely recuperate, but Towers
wanted to resume flying at once.
However, he went on leave aid spent
most of his time at his native home
in Georgia. la the absence of Lieu.
