Audntd-a plan tnat tell through Dy
no fault OF Atlanta
The cards were made up in packets
Of so each. and two packets were
given to each of the chairmen.
"One hundred and twenty names
apiece" said Mr.. Allen. Now, go
to it-and make 'em double up. One
man came to me the other day and
said want to get in this thing be-
fore those committees get after me-
Nothing doing in the bargain line
! told him, and asked what he wanted
to give. I'll tell you he said III
give the same as my old subscription
You will not | told him: ft'll cost
you just twice that to-day
And that's the point" Mr. Allen
went on. This town is twice al rich
and its people are twice as rich as
they were when that other subscrip-
ton was made"
And IT might be remarked in pass
ing that Mr.. Allen, who gave $12 to
the other fund, is down for 81. 900 in
this one so nobody can accuse him
of not practicing what he breaches.
So the committees were loaded and
prlmed, and each got a. good earful of
bracing conversation, and the straight
tip not to confine their efforts to the
names on the cards.
Pretty nearly every body in Atlanta
is coming through on this deal" Mr..
Allen told them, land we aren't max
ing any restrictions whatever. We
have now reached the stage where it's
time to stop talking and do some
thing"
Five Years to Pay
The terms were easy, the commit
tees were told. Five years would De
allowed to those subscribers VINO
wished it--five payments, year apart
or such shorter terms as might be
desired. And then there was another
rousing talk by Captain English and
another by J, r, Gray, of The jour
nal, and a warm commentator of the
three Atlanta newspapers Captain
English said he never had seen such
inspiring unanimity on any proJect
before. and he had watched the va
rious projects of Atlanta since the
time when his totale arthlv posses
sions consisted of ragged shirt,
nair Of leans trousers and two worn
brogan shoes.
II didn't take more than an hour
all told, and then the meeting broke
up with a round of handclapping ana
lot of ffandshaking, too, ana the
committees were instructed to mel
at 1890 o'clock Monday for r spec,'L
luncheon on the second floor OF the
Piedmont Hotel to report progress
That MONDAY luncheon will be a reg
ular thing during the quarter ora
million" campaign, for as Mr. Alien
wisely observed:
"Eeu have TO eat somewhere, and
we'd better eat together and not waste
any time from business and you rel
lows bring along your prospects, too
