The April 27 1910 Atlanta piece mixes light political jests and public notices about Roosevelt Bryan Hughes and Sherman. It riffs on tariffs watermelon peaches moonshine and World events while praising or lampooning figures and administrators in a breezy metropolitan tone.
The piece weighs the frost’s impact on cotton and the broader southern economy. It considers potential crop losses, seed shortages, and rising prices, noting uncertainty until actual frost damage is known. It suggests a non market-shattering cotton yield is likely, with mixed effects on prosperity depending on seed and vegetable crops.
The Constitution backs R E O Donnelly of the Keely Company in demanding stopover privileges, and notes rapid hotel expansion in Atlanta. New Piedmont annexes of 160 rooms and a 300‑room apartment hotel at Peachtree and Ponce de Leon are planned, with another large hotel and a suburban option under discussion. Atlanta argues that rival cities like Chattanooga and New Orleans are better positioned, and stresses the commercial value of stopovers for southeastern business. The fight hinges on whether railroads grant tourist and business stopovers despite past resistance. The Constitution pledges full support to counter discrimination and back city efforts.
James Schoolcraft Sherman, the vice president known as Sunny Jim, delivers a forceful defense of the Payne Aldrich tariff before the Citizens' Industrial Association in St. Louis. He reiterates support for protectionism, notes wage growth, and warns of wage demands and arbitration while predicting democratic gains in the near future.
Washington dispatch reports a rumor that President Taft may reverse his stance on the Payne Aldrich tariff at the St Louis convention. If true, Taft would face a pivotal shift in tariff policy and party alignment as reporters weigh the implications for his leadership and the Republican stance.
The article analyzes President Taft's stance amid Republican factions. It debates whether he has moved too far from party orthodoxy, risking Bourbons’ support and public trust. It suggests only a dramatic shift toward democracy may quell widespread distrust and shape the future congressional scene.

The called session approved buying the Peachtree Creek site for a sewer plant and authorized purchasing lots for new schools in all wards except the third. The third ward delay was due to Councilman Harrison needing time to study the matter. The council also repealed the baseball ban at Brisbane park, placing control with the park commission, and street improvements may be contracted by the public works commissioner. The aldermanic board then concurred with council actions.
Robert E. O'Donnelly of Atlanta urges the Constitution to back a move for an all year round, first class tourist hotel to attract stop-overs. He argues current hotel shortages hinder commercial travel and that a new hotel would draw tourists to Atlanta, easing transportation demands and boosting commerce.
