ATLANTA AND HER
BUSINESS MEN

1t is not an infrequent thing that
one needs to pray for deliverance from
his fool friends a condition pre-emi-
nently characteristic of Atlanta just
now
Last week, certain so-called bust
ness men Of Atlanta were bewailing
the sad fate which they claimed was
handicapping the commercial interests
of Atlanta and they undertook to bull
dose the other set of men who were
zealously striving in the way to
build Atlanta socially and morally on
a firmer basis than she has hitherto
stood. to desist and give up their ideals.
Now it is understood that these
same business men have subscribed d
fund and will issue a set of bulletins
OF their own each week to boost At
lanta and to show the outside world
jdst how good and clean and desira bic
a city Atlanta really is.
Certainly no one could object to
this. If sincere in her purpose and
who can doubt it. they should be COM
mended and the Times does commend
them and congratulate them and their
most excellent Chief of Police, James
l.. Beavers, that they can bear testi-

GENERAL STRIKE IS
 CALLED IN AFRICA
MILITARY IS IN CONTROL OF THE SITUATION AND GOVERN
 MENT REMAINS FIRM.

Cape Town, Union of South Africa, Jan. 1S.-iA general strike throughout South Africa was proclaimed tonight by the trades federation and the Rand miners by two-.hirds majority vote to join the movemeint. Government retaliation was swift, in the form of a proclamation of martial law.
 This was the only step the author ities believed adequate to meet the situation, for the strike of the miners means not only the turning loose of the most turbulent spirits in the Rand, but raises the whole question of the position of the native workers. If the miners actually obey the strike order, 5he government will immedi ately take steps to send the natives under escort back to their kraals. This means that about 100000 ma tives must be marched back by road to their homes at heavy cost It will be the most difficult, after the end of the strike, to recruit them again In brief, such a step would mean dis aster for the Rand for many years Although official reports from Johan nesburg show improvement in the train service. reports from other dis tricts are less encouraging. In Ma tai the situation is one of great ten sion.
 Practically no information is a hand as to conditions in the Orang, Free State, but improvement there i: not considered probable
 The union government remains firm in it's attitude. The premier, Gen Louis Botha, is said to have declared he would guarantee that with th' end of the present crisis there would not be another workers strike il South Africa for a generation"

King of the Blood.

"Alkano Remedy Co.,, Kansas City, Mo. Gentlemen: Three years ago contracted contagious blood poison, cook treatment from our best doctors, have taken the mercury and potash treatment and others.

My mouth and nor drink. l had not eaten one bite for six days and was nearly dead when the agent for Alkano called to see me I took bottle from him, not expect ing to be benefited, and to my sur prise, in a few days my mouth and
 hroat were healed, and I could eat and drink. l have now taken Alkano three weeks and the 140 deep sores are all healed up. 1 have gained 47 pounds in weight; rheumatism all gone; sleep well; can eat six times a day. I had stomach trouble when contracted this disease. Alkano has cured that as well as other troubles.
 "Alkano is a sure blood renovator. Five dollars is cheap for this great remedy. I would advise anyone who has blood troubles to try it. Yours very truly,
 G BEEN F. SPRUILL."
 It is now well recognized that the treatments ordinarily given for this disease, based on powerful minerals, are very harmful to the system. They have a tendency to deaden the nerve and muscular tissue, especially the former. The result is apt to show up inf later years in the form of paralysis, locomotor ataxia, rheumatism, etc. Even blindness sometimes results. This may not occur for many years, but in all cases where these drugs have been taken, the danger always exists. These afflictions, as well as others long considered as after effects of the disease, are now admitted to re- suit not from the disease itself, but from these drugs.
 Then why take these drugs when Alkano Is even more certain of curing the disease than they, and never has any evil after effects, but always l leaves the system thoroughly cleansed and restored. >~ Alkano cures all forms of diseases and disorders of the blood.

FULL PLENTY OF LAW.

When a ''bootlegger" was brought into Judge Isgrig's city court in Lit tie Rock and a case made against him, the municipal judge placed the penalty at fine of $500 and 30 days in the city jail. That was the full penalty of the law
 It was shown that the "bootlegger" had been selling liquors in bottles up and down Markham street, and when arrested he had 19 bottles in stock ready to be handed out.
 1t is not to be doubted but that when this man started out on the street.to sell liquor without authority of law, he took into consideration the chance of the game.
 The saloon keeper who rents 2 building, and who is standing an ex- pense now pending the issuace of a license to do business legally, is en- titled to the sort of protection the fine imposed in the Little Rock city court makes for his business.
 Many saloon man is paying heavy rents now, and probably paying sal ary account to retain his help, that he might engage in the lawful sell ing of liquors if the licenses are IS sued. That man is not a bootlegger and he is entitled to the protection the law affords, for if it were not fo the bootlegger and for those of hii ilk, the legitimate saloon keeper would most likely not now be unde the ban of a censorship that makes for the provisions that must be me before he can do business.
 The bootlegger is prohibitionis' in policy. but is nothing in principle Prohibition makes an avenue for hil iilcgitimate gain. He is a menace be cause he injures the cause not alon' of one side but of both sides. Judge Isgrig's penalty has caused mucl comment in the press of the state all of which has been very compli mentary to the Little Rock city court
