Easier to Change
Cars Than Dollars
In South Georgia

DR.. Caleb A. Ridley, pastor of the
Central Baptist Church, solemnly af-
firms that Waycross, Ga, is a good
place to change trains, but mighty
poor place to change a dollar, even
in Uncle Sans postoffice. Going to
Live Oak, Fla, the other day for a
few days quail shooting, DR.. Ridley
changed trains in Waycross in a min
ute, but it took him much time and
considerable conversation to change
dollar.
He rendered a dollar bill in eX-
change for a 25-cent book Of stamps,
and the clerk told him he'd have to
out and get his money changed and
come back, because the postotfice had
just changed hands, and the retiring
postmaster didn't leave a single soli
tary nickel in the money drawers.
After arguing the case thoroughly
and thrashing out all the fine points
of the law and constitutional rights,
DR.. Ridley convinced the clerk that he
would not have to go out and get his
own change, and the rs cents was
made up among the office clerks.

OFFICIALS Of
CITY WATCH
DRY FIGHT
Convinced Liquor Foes Are De-
termined to Close Clubs
and Saloons.

City officials who control the OPP
Grafton of locker clubs and near"
beer saloons in Atlanta admitted
Wednesday that they were at last
convinced that the powerful prohi-
bition organization that recently has
mined to close every locker club and
saloon in the city, and in a spirit
Of awe they are watching for the
court action which the prohibition
leaders declare will win them success.
Their appeal rejected by the City
Council, the militant prohibitionists,
marshale1 by the Rev. H. M. DuBose,
of Atlanta, and seaborn Wright, the
famous prohibition fighter of Rome,
Ca, have turned to Solicitor Hugh
Dorsey and the Grand Jury. If the
desired action Is not secured there
appeals will be made to a. Superior
Court judge for injunctions.
Ono Victory Key to All.
Indications are that the advice of
Attorney Wright that the most prom
inent clubs be the center of attack
will be taken. II they win their fight
against one prominent club the pro-
hibitionists feel that none of the
others will hold out.
Participants in this struggle are re-
luctant to speak of the details of
their moves, other than to say that
they will run the whole gamut of
political and legal means of stopping
what they consider violations of the
law
Member, Of Council declared We'd
nesday that they considered the whole
present. They admit they have been
liberal in granting locker club IL
censes, one new club license having
been granted and all but one old
club having had it's license renewed
Alderman Albert Thomson expressed
the views of the members who SYM
pathize with the law enforcement
propaganda.
Council Passes Responsibility.
Council has licensed clubs to run
only as legal clubs" he said. IF
they are violating the law it is the
duty of other officials to stop them"
Council will not consider any in
reference with the sale of near"
beer until the time for renewal of
licenses comes up in July. In the
face Of all of the attacks a large
majority of the members do not hes
itate to say they are satisfied with
the general conduct of saloons.
The move for court action threat
ems an upheaval of the whole pro-
hibition status; and should it prove
successful, the duty of readJustment
would fall upon Council.

HOUSES
NEAR GRADY
AVAILABLE
Could Be Made Ready to Care for
Sufferers at Small Expense,
Says Woodward.

Mayor Woodward announced We'd
nesday that Atlanta's need for a con-
tagious disease hospital for negroes
would be Immediately supplied.
He said he did not consider there
was any unusual demand for such an
institution, but that it was undoubt-
eddy the duty of the city to provide
one. and that fortunately the city
owned building that could be con-
verted into suitable quarters for i'm
mediate use.
Wednesday afternoon the Mayor
and Dr. ], P. Kennedy, health officer,
and Graham West, chief clerk TO
Comptroller Goldsmith, started on an
inspection of the property, which was
purcha sed for a new site for the city
stockade, and one of several of them
could be put in repair for a small
cost,
Conditions improved.
"Atlanta's death rate shows that
health conditions are being i'm
proved" said the Mayor, land l think
it is far better to advertise this fact
than to proclaim the dangers Of ne
gro diseases based on one or two iso-
lated cases.
We do, however. need to give
more attention to the living condi-
tons of the negroes. for they are as
intimately associated with US as our
servants as the members of our fam
lies.
1T is a shame that a contagious
disease hospital for negroes has not
been providede sooner. But the in
come of the city is limited and these
Improvements can not be made In a
day.
Can Be Made Ready Quickly.
Il dare say that the living condi-
tons of the negroes in Atlanta are
better than any other Southern city
of it's size. The death rate proves
them to be better.
There is no means in sight 10
move the stockade in the Immediate
future. The property is in a negro
section and there can be no justifi-
able protest at locating hospital
there. 1t is close enough to Grady
Hospital to be supervised by the
heads of the institution.
Best Of all, it can be put into i'm
mediae use at very small expense"

LAW COURT DECISION.
Newport Granted New Trial in Suit
Brought by u. S. Littiefeld.

The law court has handed down a
rescript in which the Newport Water
Co. the defendant in suit brought
ykU. S, Littlefield of Newport, has
been granted new trial The case
has already been tried twice.
The rescript was received Monday
and is as follows:
Rescript, per curiam.
A prior verdict in favor of the plain
tiff having been set aside by this
court, Littlefield VS.. Water Co., 10
Maine 129. the plaintiff, at the second
trial. again obtained a verdict in his
favor and the defendant again asks
thhat such verdict be set aside on the
ground that it is against evidence and
the weight of evidence. We have care
fully examined the entire record, and
especially the testimony of witnesses
produced by the plaintiff and by the
defendant who did not testify at the
first trial The reasons given by this
court for setting aside the former ver-
dict need not be repeated here. 1t is
sufficient to say that in our opinion
the case of the plaintiff at the second
trial was not, but that of the defend
ant was somewhat stronger. AS in the
former case, we must decide that this
verdict also is manifestly wrong and
must be set aside.
Motion for new trial sustained.
