0PTICIAN GETS GIANT
TO DRUM UP TRADE

Atlanta, Feb. 10.-An Atlanta bust

over his mail this morning when a
shadow fell across it and a blotter ad-

pushed in front of his nose.
irregularities of vision corrected, p
it said, in big black type.
The business man was busy and
glanced at the blotter without raising
his eyes.
There's nothing the matter with
my vision" he said, and started to
resume his correspondence.
Just then he saw vaguely, out of the
corner of his eye, something big and
black on the floor near his chair. It
was black, and about the size of a
large typewriter cover But the shape
startled him. 1t had the proportions
OF a shoe He looked again. 1t was 4
shoe, only it was about the length and
thickness of a full-grown setter dog
lying down.
Then he looked up Towering over
his, with head nearly touching the cell
ing, he saw or thought he saw, a giant
Ten feet high and in every way pro-
portioned to the shoe. He glanced down
and noticed that there were two
shoes. Then he looked up again and
saw an immense expanse of grinning
negro face A quantity of other blot
ters were grasped in a hand so large
that it made them look like postage
stamps.
The business man gasped DO you
see what l think I see?' he anxiously
asked his stenographer, for if what
think I see isn't there l am going over
right away to consult that oculist"
And he picked up the card to look
fer the address.
But there was nothing the matter
with the business mans vision. 1t was
giant sure enough, but how many
other people that gigantic apapration
frightened into having their eyes ex-
amined nobody but the optician knows.

PREACHER SAYS GUARDS
ARE NOT TO Be BLAMED

Atlanta, Feb. 10.-"For every lash
laid upon the bare backs Of convicts in
Georgia, the Church of God is respons-
ible," declares Rev. DR. A. R. Holderby
in ringing statement today, and .
number Of other Atlanta ministers take
the same view he does.
The preachers say that it is mis-
take to blame the individual guards,
or the convict bosses, or even the pris-
en- commission. If conditions are as
bad in Georgia as in barbarious Rus
STA, they say, Georgia herself is to
blame, and it is up to the people of
Georgia to find and apply the remedj.
AS long as the law exists which
gives the guards the right to fog pris-
oners, SO long will the voters who al
low the law to exist, be more to blame
than the man who Yields the lash, say
the preachers.

HIS EXCUSE WAS GOOD
BUT THE JUDGE FINED

Atlanta, Feb. 10.-Fred Walden, an
actor, accused Of frightening two
young ladies' nearly to, death at the
Peachtree Inn by entering their room,
clad only in his pajamas, in the dead
hours of the night, interposed the un-
ique plea when arraigned in police
court today, that he had nearly frozen
to death because of insufficient cover
ing for the sudden cold snap, and that
he was proving around in search Of
an extra blanket. He said the search
took him into the young women's room
entirely by accident, and that he was as
much surprised as they were.
The Judge might have listened to his
shivering plea, but the young women
testified that afterward they missed a
watch, locket and some other jew
elry, so Walden was bound over to the
higher court in the sum of $500.

CONSTITUTION COMES TO
AID OF CORRESPONDENCE

Atlanta, Feb. 10.-In the light Of
the accusations which have been made
that Atlanta newspaper correspond
ents are disappearing the crime sit
uation in Atlanta and are sending oIt
dispatches unfair to Chief Beavers, the
following top-column item from the
Atlanta Constitution which is regard
ed by many Georgians as the most con-
servative of the Atlanta dailies, will be
of interest:
police Kept Busy By Many Rob
berries. Highwaymen and Pickpockets
Operate in All Parts of the City on
Friday and Saturday
ROBBERY was prevalent throughout
the business and residential districts
of Atlanta Friday and Sat day, and
as a result the police are investigating
a large number of cases, most of which
have thus far been battling, but all OF
which are believed to have been COM
mitted by an organized gang of rob-
bers"
The above is quoted verbatum and
complete, without the change of a
word or even a comma Following it
the Constitution gave a list of eight
rebberies and burglaries which had oc-
Cured with in the previous forty-eight
hours.
The Atlanta correspondents want the
outside world to know that it is not
they who have initiated the unhappily
correct phrases of 'Highwaymen and
PickpQckets in all parts Of the City,"
and "organized gang of robbers"
The Atlanta newspapers were admit
ting and lamenting the Carnival of
Crime" under the present police reg
ime before a single Correspondent fo2
an out-of-town sheet ever took it up.
