AuTo; FINISH FIGHr

Atlanta, Feb. 12.-For the first
time in the history of traffic an au-
tomobile has bested street car in
knock down and drag out fight.
Jimmy Greene, the newspaper poet,
asserts that the other automobiles
at FIVE Points laughed until their
carburetors were choked with gaso-
line.
Be the laughing as it may, the
traffic cop and line crew are puzzling
over the miraculous outcome of the
collision, for by all theories of sta
tistics, and by all the lessons oe ex-
perience, the automobile should have
been reduced to scrap iron and the
street car should have proceeded or
it's journey undisturbed.
Instead, the street car was knock
ed into Decatur street and the auto
mobile was not damaged.
