AVIATORS IN ATLANTA
FIND GOOD LANDING FIELD

Atlanta-Atlanta has accidentally
made the discovery that she has a
first-class landing field for aviators in
the shape of long stretch OF fair
way on the golf course at East Lake,
and now she will not feel such a
hesitancy in inviting birdmen to pay
her social call when occasion Of
fers.
Two young aviators, Lieutenant
Rogers and Lieutenant Johnson. flew
to Atlanta from Suther Field al
Americas last Saturday and gave the
city thrilling exhibitin of gymnas-
tics above the roofs of the skyscrap-
ers. They landed on the military pa
rade ground at Fort Mcpherson. But
when they started to take Off al
that place they found that there was
hardly room to rise with mechan-
ician in each machine, and so the two
flyers went up alone and drove THEN
machines to East Lake, where they
found an abundance of room and a
fine smooth turf on which to land
and take off.

why they did not get their replies
arlier, they now know the reason.
Mr.. Harris is now getting the first
real rest he has had since the cam

mcdiately after the election day to
hasten to Washington and use his in

KEEP HAND ON WALLET
IN ATLANTA STATIONS

Atlanta.-The traveller having oc-
casion to tarry in the Atlanta Termi-
nal Station would probably act wise
ly if he kept his hand on his wallet
and took no chances on pickpockets
Patrolman w. A. Chewing, who
walks the Terminal Station beat in
the day watch, has been relieved OF
his purse containing SIS in money, q
lodge receipt and other personal pa.
pers.
If the pickpockets are as bold anc
efficient as that, what chance has the
average civilian got?

AUTO HORN IS USED
TO WAKE KHAKI BOYS

Atlanta.-Robert Haverty, an At
lanta boy in the U. S. Army Air
Service in France, writes his father
that they have invented new and
unique and very effective method of
making the boys get up in the morn
ing. About a o'clock an orderly
breezes through the barracks grinding
an automobile horn. If any man can
sleep in spite of that noise, declares
Lieutenant Haverty, they don't both
er him, for he is stone deaf and not
fit for an aviator.

PERSONS HOLDS TO
FORMER STATEMENT
Declares@Soule Cowardly Misstatee
Mats When He Said He Die
Not Offer Him Salary.

Americas, Ga.-Politicians here are
discussing with interest the sensa-
tilonal disclosures contained in certain
correspondence between G.. Ogden
Persons and Dr. Andrew M. Soule
federal food administrator for Geor-
gia.
MIR. Persons, who is former presi-
dent of the Georgia senate, has just re-
signed as field agent for the state fod
administration. He was appointed by
DR.. Soule, and during his campaign
for the congressional nomination in
the sixth district, stated he received
no salary, but gave his services to
the food administration, notwith.
standing DR.. Soule offered him 49,
600 or $4,000" a year.
This statement subsequently denied
by DR.. Soule is the basis for the cor
respondence referred to. In letter
to friend in Americas, (the original
OF which is in the possession of the
writer, Persons charges that while
DR.. Soule was guest at his home in
Forsyth on October 20, 1917, he was
offered the position of the state field
agent of the food administration, DR.
Soule saying at the time he could not
pay salary of more than $4,000 or
$4,000 because of the limited appro-
priation.
Declaring that he told DR.. Soule
on that occasion that he would &C
cept the Office only on condition that
he be allowed to serve without salary
or at salary of 81 year, Persons
charges that D. F. McClatchey, ex-
ecutive secretary of the food admin
istration at Atlanta, subsequently
said that he (Persons) was a fool for
declining the salary, nd that he pro-
posed to let the fact be known when
ever possible

1T was because Representative
Taylor from my county had on Sep

not confidential. and hope that you
will exhibit it to all those to whom
you have shown Soule's letter"

October 8, its contents have just be-
