Plans Perfected for Great Gather
ing of Fans at Opening Of
Season tuesday,

1t now appears that the all-impor-
tsnt weather man is going to make
good or his promise of fine weather
for opening day-for the afternoon
CT Tuesday, April IA, when the first
game of the Southern League base
ball season is to be played at Ponce
DeLeon Park between the Nashville
Volunteers and the Atlanta Crackers.
Now, it's up to Atlanta.
AtIanta's reputation is at stake
Atlanta's reputation as the Best
Baseball Town in the South.
Last year, on an opening day when
ii rained and blew icy blasts and
sleeted. esBosbyH Baugh, president OF
the Birmingham ball club came over
to Atlanta's opening day game and
that morning he didn't do thing but
rub it in to Major Galloway, presi-
dent of the Atlanta ball club
Something for Mr. 5aush.
I'VE have 5000 and more at our
opening" he said you've got fine
dav to beat that"
And it did look pretty sad-sleeting
and raining and all that. Major Cal
laway admits It now. But at that
time his back was up, something like
that Of a Kilkenny cat. And he said
to Mr.. Baugh, Just before going out
to the ball park
We'll, you just wait and see.
And along about the fifth inning
what do you suppose Mr. Baugh no
ticed?
A long. haunting banner got up in
very loud taste, Mr.. Baugh consid-
cred The banner read;
AT the game, 5000 Birmingham
record, 5000"
A Wiser Man.
Wherefore Mr. Baugh reflected that
Won couldn't always tail about At
Ianta, and returned TO Birmingham
sadder and wiser Mr. Baugh, to plot
for this year.
Well that's what Atlanta is up
against for Tuesday afternoon.
birmingham is out for blood. Biz
yninghsm will have a fine day, too, or

To put it briefly
Atlanta needs to put $4,000 paid ad-
missions into that old ball park by

letter FOR The KING
Noble Suffra&ettes Arrested When
They Try TO Present It.

London, July A.-Two suffragettes
belonging to the British nobility, Lady
Barclay and the Hon. Miss Edith Fitz
gerald. were arrested today at Bucking
ham palace where they made persistent
attempts to present to King George r
letter written to his majesty by Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst, the militant suf-
fragette leader.
The letter demanded a personal in
terview with the king and said suf-
fragettes should be given the same
right to an interview as certain mill
tant men, namely. Sir Edward Carson.
Captain James Craig. John Dillon, and
John E. Redmond. who had, it was
pointed out, been invited to Bucking-
ham palace by the king on his own
initiative.
The two women arrived at the en-
trance to the palace this morning car
rying large scroll, prettily draped
with purple ribbon steamers. They
stated they had a petition to present
to his majesty. The attendants, how
ever, persuaded them to leave, but
they returned later and announced
their determination to remain until
they were given an audience with the
king.
The police then took the two women
into custody.

Value of Good Roads

The 100000 miles OF unlmproyed
roads which the country has To its
discredit are as heavy burden up
on the unfortunate ultimate con
sumer' as is an excessive tariff
Every pound OF produce hauled from
the farm to the market bears an
inflated price because of the exces
slve cost Of its transportation from
the farm To the point OF shipment.
For instance, IL costs an average
Of almost cents more to haul a
bushef OF wheat from the farm to
the station nine miles away than ii
does To ship bushel OF wheat from
New York to Liverpool. 300 miles
away. This excessive transportation
cost must be made up by the farmer
In charging more for his wheat, by
the miller in charging more for the
flour by the baker in charging more
for bread and finally, of course, by
the ultimate consumer" in paying
more for his bread.
AS the farmer and the miller are
also consumers, the excessive cost OF
road transportation really levies a
tax upon all Whatever doubt there
may have been about the need for
systematic road Improvement in the
United States facts and figures such
as these finally dispelled.
If there was ever any work cal
culated to fill the proverbial long
felt want" il was the work Of the
office of public roads.
