The prospect* for the initial fair of the N .rth Georgia reeociation continue to grow brighter. It ie onr vittioa that Ue tot. wifi literalhf assoc _ Atothepcopibboftoin petal of-ettotibi- not allowed to tab- bio ssK. E> has tion aj.#*oraS note that the growth has been thorough and sympathetic. Every department has kept pace with the other, and in the .stirring march of progress onr manifold interests have hurried along shoulder to shonlder, each sus taining ard encouraging the other. It ia usually the case that a spasm oi en ergy seizes one phase of growth and ad vances it to the detriment and dwarf- ment oi all collateral interests. There is nothing of this sort in the history oi Atlanta, however, during the past year. Onr population has grown by the thou rands, our property haa appreciated tal ly 15 per cent in valae, and a hall mil lion dollars’ worth of her houses have been bnilt. Onr credit haa improved, onr income baa increased about $30,000, oor debt has been decreased abon $50,- 000, and onr interest rate lowered two or three per cent, saving about $12,000 on this item alone. 0 r commercial dominion has been extended, and onr volume ;of Jtrade expanded. Onr cot ton receip'a have grown from 88 000 to over 100,000.. .Uni manufacturing in dustries have been increased folly 25 ptkeent, and onr health haa improved, the sewerage improvements, etc.’hav ing reduced the mortality tables folly ten per cent under former years. Th.s is a condensed increase of advance ment that is simply marvelous when yon consider the genuine dullness and uncertainty that has been npon the country. There are two features, however, that deserve especial mention. Tbe first of these is in regard to onr finan cial condition. It has been for years tbe eastern of the people oi other cities decry Atlanta aa a reckleea, prefl.- gate city, of mnshroon growth and un stable future. The* have tried to pnt down her credit by declaring that her efficiala were careless, and banded in rings against the public good; tbat she was accumulating a debt that she conld never possibly pay. Atlanta has qnietly submitted to these slanders, being willing to abide the ontcries and confident of her own honest pnrpoee. And now what is thp result ? Atlanta perfectly solvent, and not only able pay her debts, bnt is paying them every year. 8he has never missed her interest a day—her bonds stand high- than any other southern city—her tax rate is lower than any other city, and is limited by law. 8ne cannot in crease her debt, and she is bonnd to decreaee it by $50,000 or more every year. Her departments are well sus tained, and she is ready and able to pay every dollar ehe owes as it falls doe. And this, tco, in tbe (ace oi ti e fact that she lost $600,000 in clear cash by two railroads just alter the war. And now let ns look at the cities that have been abnsing Atlanta. Where do they etand 7 They have all, almost without exception, met the very late that they prescribed for onr city. They have gone into bankrnptcy, or compro mised their bonds, or lapsed their in terest, or in some way or other suffered their credit. From Memphis to Savannah, Atlanta and Nashville are ■boat tbe only cities that stand Qatar nished in credit and solvency. From w Orleans to Richmond tbe record is the same. We believe there is not a city in Georgia except Atlanta and Athens that baa not had serious trouble with their bond-holders, and some of them have either compromised openly or thrown np the eponge in despair. We mention these things in no spirit of deprecation,bnt simply to show that amid universal wreck and bankruptcy, Atlanta, the abased oi all sharers, hss has kept her credit untarpished and pre erved her financial honor without stain. The other point u in regard to her health record. We state, in no idle spirit of boasting, bnt npon the most undoubted statistics, culled irom years oi observation, that Atlanta the healthiest city in the sonth. Her death rate is lees, as the t.gnrea show, than that of any city of considerable size in the a (nth, and, with two exceptions, in the anion. Bhe is absolutely proof against the two southern and western scourges —yellow fever and cholera. Ctae alter case of persons effl eted with there dis have been brought to the city and attended to. Tbey have been pnt in rooms in the heart of the city and wait ed on by local physicians and noises, and not cne single case has been de veloped here. Her gates have never been closed by quarantine, bat are open always to the sick of all ciimea. Broad in her philanthropy and strong in the possession of her health’ giving breezes, she welcomes the yellow fever patient or the man dying of chol era, jost as she does any stranger. The perlect evidence oi her healthfnlni furnished in the fact that daring the monthsof July and August, the sultriest ever known, ti e reduced her death rate to ac naily lees than daring the fall or winter months. Her high altitnde, ber fine natural drainage, her pore free-stone water, her varying mountain breezes, all com bine to give her a record ior health that ia equalled by no eonthern city With these remarks, *e invite tbe attention ol all into whoee hands this paper may fall to the statistics and opinions briefly condensed in another column. TBE COMMERCIAL OUTLOOK ponents—General Lafayette McLawa and Rev. C. W. Howard. Another is that, aa commissioner he pocketed five thonsand dollars of tbe people’s money. This was snffioiently replied to at Cartersvilie where Judge Les- took occasion to inferm Dr. Felton tbat the insinnation that he had pocketed one dollar that did not rightinlly belong to him was an unmitigated lie. As the doctor did not offer to prove the charge, it is not too mnch to say that he was led into a woinl and embarrassing blunder by bis own zeal, or by the zeal ol some one of his partisans. Another charge was to the effect that Judge Lseter had supported Cole for congress. In reply to this, a number of credible witnesses have signed a certificate that the democratic nominee did not support Cole at the tame and dIscsb mentioned, and then testimony ia strengthened by the words of Gen. Yonng himself. Dr. Felton’s charge was an indirect attack npon the political honesty oi those who did enp port Cole, and as such we com mend it to the thonghtlnl consideration of the voters of Cobb connty. Another slander against. Jndgt Las- ter is the charge made by Di. Felton that the democratic nominee had re ceived one thonsand dollars to tabby tbe State road lease tbrongh the legislature. The facts are that Leater and Thomp son, attorneys at law, received a retain er from Governor Brown to defend the validity of the lease if it was attacked in the courts The lease act was passed io October. 1870, and the retainer about which the Felton orgwa gobble so vo ciferously was paid to Judge Lester’s law firm in September, 1872. Last and most absurd ol all ia stated on good authority that Dr. Felton, in a recent speech at Villanow, charged that Judge Leater had attempted to bribe Msjah Ztchartah Hargrove into vct’ng for bim. This charge is answered by Msjah Hargrove himse f, who informs the editor of tbe Rome Courier that it has no foundation in truth. It seems to ns that the independents ought to do better than thia. Can’t they invent a new series of slanders that won’t be so ridicnlons 7 The boys are closing np and wailing for them. THE DEA.DJLND DYING AT LAX T * PBOrrS HER IM BUSHY MOM TALLOW TA TER.

THE BRAND CASE. nOOT TBAT YELLOW FEVE* CANNOT LIVE IN ATLASTA. Out readers will remember that some time ago, Mr Brand reached thia city prostrated with the yellow fever. He fell into the hands of Dr Jno Westmoreland, and that noble man, WITH HO HEART CF SOLO, determined to protect Mm against the panic that hia arrival had created. He took him after many adventures to hia own office, where he ■aid he wonld protect him if necessary at the peril of hia life Tho unfortunate yonng man died after a few days, although everything that conld be done was done to relieve him. TBK LXS*ON OF THAT CAIE ▲ great deal of intern t haa been felt in the outcome ot that cue, because a good deal de pended on it- In the first place, it would settle the question as to whether not yellow fever was contagious.

My nurses are in the condition. 80 tbat we have abao ntely demonstrated that yellow fever la not conta gious.” Did you give thia caae a full trial?” “I did. I felt that if yellow fever waa con la* gious, after all I had said—If I had actually been deceiving the people—that I deserved to catch it; and ought to ale. I, therefore, deter mined to give it a lu'l trial. I staid in the room with my patient all day. 1 ever, slept in the room with him all night, with the black vomit all about me, and the room thoroughly impreg nated. I * unpacxed his c othes and handled them freely: I touched the patient, nursed him, and waited on him till he was dead. I had two norses, who went threugh the sahra ordeal with me, and they both came ont nntcalhed. Dr. Johnson went through even won with u the time, and held the patient’s bead whli was vomiting. He Is now in perfect health, there is anything tbat Is absolutely demon strated U is tbat yellow fever ia not contagions."
