Many people think Uiat all a rr porter for a newspaper has to do ls t walk the streets and so, as a reporter I for The Intelligencer strolled np Mali j street yesterday he observed ? little (tot < possibly he may'have been six I years old) walking ap the street before bim. As he watched the little boy the lad strolled off to one sida of the pavement abd actually expectorated tobacco Juice. The reporter waa hor rified to observe a boy of tender agc Indulging in such and when he ap proached and' tried to remonstrate - with tho boy he waa even more hor ? I rifled. ' The boy took one look at the nowa gatherer and then cocking his head to ono side with an air of wisdom he lit into a most profane dessertation, dealing with all meddlers in general and one ir particular. The little boy could hardly form words correctly yet he made the report er blush with shame, since he posessed p. far more j complete vocabulary than even news paper workers and printers. It is not hard to see tbriv some reformatory will soon have a promising addition. Want a Home For Little (Jlrl. Ensign Belcher of the Salvation Ar my has requested The Intelligencer to aid him in his search for a home for a little girl six weeks of age.

Governor John M. Slaton has called for October 24, mass meetings in every county in Geor gia, at which business men and farmers are urged to organize in an effort to decrease the produc tion of cotton and increase tim production of foodstuffs. In his proclamation Governor Slaton reiterates his disposition to legislative action looking to a re juction in cotton acreage, as se4 forth yesterday. In that mes sage to the people, the govcrnoi showed how the heavy expense of calling an extra session of thc assembly to take up the Louisville and Nashville charter matters had been obviated by his securing from the road a promise that nc application for charter would be made until after tthc next r?gulai session of the legislature. Governor Slaton does n. ? hes itate to say that he believes the Georgia farmer honest enough and wise enough to curtail the next cotton crop by voluntary agreement. He does not think it vise or necessary to attempt tc coerce the farmer by hastily pass ed laws, which after all are doubt "ul as to their constitutionality. Governor Earl Brewer, of Missis sippi, takes the same position and will not call an extra session as Jiged by many pedpie. i Boys and girls of ".the country' and small towns ail over Geor gia are entering enthusiastically into the essay contest recently in augurated by Mrs. Clem P. Steed of Macon, who offers cash prizes ror the best essays on "Wheat md Its Uses" to be written by a boy or girl not living in a city and who must be under 16 years old. Mrs. Steed hopes by this mean 4o so interest the farmer boys and J <iris in the possibilities of whea' I 'hat they in turn will interest their barents, and more wheat and less cotton will be planted next year. The cash prizes arc: first, $20; second, $10, and third, $5, and all assays must be sent to James Galla way, 720 Forsyth street. Viacon, Ga., on or before Novem ber 1. No essay must cantain more than 3So words. Mrs. Steed hopes for contestants from every county. The vice row in Atlanta reach ed its climax today when Chief of Police Beavers declared that Mayor Woodward had repeatedly granted boarding, house licenses to women against the chief's re commendation, and, acting as renting agent for a railroad, had rented property to be used by a woman of known disrepute. The Fulton cttunty grand jury followed up the dispute between 'he mayor "id" the chief by declar ing its intuition to make a thor ough investigation of the vice sit uation. . Chief Beavers persists in his references to1 a mysterious "man higher up" who is responsible for the agitation to restore the re stricted districts. Mayor Wood ward: says there's nobody higher than himself and he takes orders nor hints from nobody. - Newspaper men and their friends were entertained last night at the Atlanta club by Dr. and Mir*. George Brown at sn mform al dinner, which was followed by in exhibition of fahey dancing by Mrs. Brown and her professionall partner. Mrs. Brown has become one of the leading amateur danc ers bf Atlanta, and heir dancing will rank with that of many pro fessionals* j ' s. '. A court dispute of the body of a dead negro was one of the odd' features of this week. Sam Tennant, colored, took out a bail trover in the municipal court to recover from a negro undertak er, "one dead body, male, med ium size, color black" as the legal document read. The body is that of Tennant's brother and it is alleged that the undertaker refused to bury the corpse until he was given S3o nor would he give it up to Tennant, who had tiled a pauper's path. "Transitory frenzy" is the new. est invention of the criminal law experts, according to a recetnt bit of expert testimony by a learned physician. lt is likely to come in handy in evading the gallows. A neuratic woman, after pur suing a man until she had wreck ed his home and driven her own husband io a divorce, grabbed a gun and polished off the romance with a murder. Then came a hy pothetical question 24,000 words long, and the expert gives as surance that the shooting was not murder nor actually insanity, but merely a transitory frenzy. If the transitory frenzy had been in vented several years ago Harry Thaw might have escaped Matta wan. . A wedding which marked the! joining of two well known Atlan ta families, the daughter of one, of Atlanta's pioneer merchants; and a prominent young business' man, was that of Miss Elizabeth1; High and Mr. James Goodrum last, night, lt was the most important wedding of the Atlanta season! from a social standpoint. Miss High is the daughter of the ? late Joseph M. High, founder of( one of the leading department stores of the city. Mr. Goodrum! is a son of Mr. and Mrs. James J. Goodrum of Newman. A number ? of guests from all over the State ; attended the ceremony, perform-j =u ai the handsome home of Mrs. High on Peachtree street. -o The bottomless skirt is the lat est freak style to hit Atlanta, and imagination can hardly do more. Indeed, the new skirt leaves the: imiganization nothing to do. The bottomless skirt is caught up in front and also behind, leav-j ing the calves no protection from weather and pyes except a little at the sides. But a cape train falls from the shoulders and drags three feet on the ground, cutting off the view from behind. But of course this is gathered up also for street wear. The cotton stocking movement had a sudden decline when the new skirt arrived, for in dancing the skirt and the train and most j everything is held well out of the way of flying feet, and the danc ers' calves are exposed nearly to the knee. At least, that's what the modiste says who introduced thc bottomless skirt as the newest hint from Paris. Up to date none of the society pages has announc ed any sensation at a club dance. MANY MILLION DOLLARS LOST (Continued from Pase Ono.) ot $4,500,000 from the absorbed road. "Thc average cost of that lino to the Rock Island," he added, " was $57, 988 a mile." "That of course, includes St. Louis Terminal facilities and trackage over the Wabash?" suggested counsel for the Rock Island. "Of course," said 8 ha rood. P. L. Hine, president of the First NaUonal Bank of New York, a direc tor in all three Rock Island compan ies, was the only other witness. He said he became director of the Rock Island Railway in 1902 on invitation ot William H. Moore and admitted .that the vote that stood in his name ac tually was the property of Judge Moore. Mr. Hine said he heartily approved of the sale of the Frisco stock to B. F. Yon'-um and his associates, al though the transactions entailed a considerable loss. He explained the transaction by which a loan of $7,500, OOO was obtained by the Rock Island of New Jersey through the First Nat ional Bunk of New Yor^. the Bank participating to the extort of $1,250, 000. "We received," said the witness, "our PD rata share of the $135,000 paid for the loan. Our bank could not legally have made tho entire loan of $7,60G,?^0.,, The only source of income of the two hr 1* lng companies was the Rock Island Operating Company, the wit ness said, which had exchanged through Us stockholders about $71, 000.000 of stock for nearly' five tunes that amount in securities of the hold ing companies. Stockholders owning about $4,000,000 Rock Island operat ing stock refused to exchange. "What coslderation cs a director, did yon give those minority stock holders?" inquired Commissioner Cle ments. "I never looked at the matter from the viewpoint ol "the minority stock holders," replied Mr. Hine, "I regard ed lt from the atandpoiot ot 96 per cent of the stock." "Wa? the transaction detrimental to, Or promotive ol' the interests of the g i Only by Comparison We Judge the Rela tive Merits of Anything. Mr. Hudson, the owner of the Eagle Barber shop, re turned from a trip through Southern Georgia and North ern Florida the other day, and said:-"In all the towns and cities 1 visited, I saw none that compared in appear ance and amount of business being done, with Ander son." Mr. Pinkston? the former owner of the Palmetto Theatre returned yesterday from a 11*through North and South Carolina, Georgia, and par'.s ul F lc ric* A, where he has been hunting for a location in which to establish i Motion Picture Theatre, a;.d he said:-"I haven't yet seen a town anywhere I have been, that is anything like as good a town as Anderson." Both of the Advance men, travelling for Ringling Bros., and The One Hundred and One Ranch Show, re marked about the air of prosperity that Anderson had. That the merchants seemed to be doing more business than other towns in the South at this time, and every thing looked prosperous here. As Mr. Parker of Parker ik Bolt said the other day: '.If the merchants would quit talking "hard times" and' persue their different lines of business regardless of the war in Europe, we would all see a big difference in the amount of business we were really doing; that when a farmer for instance, came to town and was met on all sides with pessimistic talk, he naturally decided not to purchase what he had come to town to buy, thinking that if timer, were as bad as the different merchants said they were, he had better save every dollar he had." Mr. Unger, the genial manager of thc Columbia Tailor ing Co., has had a large sign painted, which is to be hung ' in his shop, forbidding the talking of "hard times" in his place of business. He states that he has been, and is yet, so busy that he hasn't time to talk "hard times," and doesn't care to hear it, either. And both of these two gentlemen are right. Let's all quit worrying about why a .black hen lays a white egg, and get the egg. Sasseen, the Ad. Man. B?it.ii stockholders?" asked tho com missioner.
