Having no means with which to establish myself elsewhere and wall for a clientage. I determined In auapend practice and en gage In a more lucrative department of labor until 1 could accumulate a small capital. I sought and obtained ploytnent as a bookkeeper In the slate railroad offire at Atlanta. In this sit uation I remained for three years, iny compensation ranging front ttO to 1(6 tier month. In the fourth year I wa, transferred to Mllledgevllle. then the capital of the state, being unpointed one of the governor's secretaries, at u salary of 81.800. A new Incumbent of the executive chair was Inaugurated in November. 1861. and both my health and my polities needing repairs. I re turned to private life. I had saved enough from iny earning* to supply me with the skeleton of a library, and sup port me some months aa u candidate for prartlre. In March. 1868. being then nearly twenty-live years of age. opened an offire In Atlanta, and ntv thoughts and dreams were again of law and of nothing else. The phantom lady haunted tne a* before, and seemed as beautiful as ever. Indeed, though I had been cool. 1 had been constant In my devotion lo her through the four years I was out of her service. Clients gradually ventured within my chant. hers, and I soon had a moderate pros perity, due chiefly to acquaintances made In railroad circles during my three years' service aa a railway clerk. In 1861 1 was elected to the office of solicitor general fur my Judicial cir cuit. which embraced eight eountles. My term of service was four years, in ihe last of which happened the crown ing success of iny whole IU[f-A9 waa married. I'nttl 18(1 1 continued (he practice In Atlanta. The Aral battle of Manassas, alias Bull Run. occurred while I was In the ramp of Instruction, endeavoring to acquire some skill in the noble art of homicide. By nature I am pacific. The military spirit has bui feeble development In my constitu tion. Nevertheleis. I tried th* for tunes of a private soldier for a (hurt time In behajf.of .the Southern t'on- federpey. I was discharged on oecount of III health, after a few months' serv ice In West Virginia, without having shed anyone's blood or lost any blood of my own. The stale of my martial emotions wss somewhst iiecitllai: I loved my friends, but dlil nut hale my enemies Without getting "fighting mad" I went out to commit my share of slaughter, being actuated by a sol emn sense of duty, unmlxed with aplte w III will. When I consider how de structive 1 might have been had nty health supported mv prowess, I am disposed to congratulate "gentlemen on Ihe other side" upon my forced re tirement from the ranks at an early perlntl of tile contest. To the best of my remembrance, I was very reluc tant. hut very determined to fight. However, all my military "''Is were utterly null and void. .After my dis charge from the atmy.

In I8(t. about the lime General Sherman left Atlanta on Ills march to the sea. I was appointed to the offire of supreme court reporter. After report ing two volumes. Ihe .Itth and ir.tli resigned that office. This taxes, which th* city would not pay herself, and a full corps of men. would be 167,(78. This, deduct,d from 889 £21.01, th* (urn poured by th* city into tho cofforo of tho lighting monopoly loot yoor, would loavo $31,760, or a not return on tho invootmont of 12.1 por cent. With tho olte. and conduits not flg- used In Ihe root of erecting Ihe plant. and taxon and water not figured In Ihe operating expenses, the net return would necesaarlly be greater. The report, as submitted, figures only on the dly furnishing her own lights at night, and shutting down In ihe tloy time. For Commercial Use. It would be the greatest of folly, of course, fur ihe city to own a lighting plant and to run It only during Ihe night. With the plant erected, the poles up. Ihe wires strung and the men engaged, the city could easily run the plant In day time for commercial pur poses. This would necessitate only the ad ditional expense of a day shift of work men. additional fuel and other Incident al expenses. The Income derived In the day would all practically be clear profit. There are any number of manufac turing enterprises and other concern* which require light only In the day time—uy. between ( o'clock In Ihe morning and 8 o'clock In tji* evening. During these hoars th* dly needs nu light for her own uses. The city could furnleh Ihe some pow. er equivalent during Ihe day that ahe could at night, ir she sold It to con- aumsrs for what It cost her to run It for her own uses, the annual Income In the day would be 863,176 a year, of which all but tlu.OVO. at the moat, would be proflt. If ahe sold It to consutneri at Ihe same coot that the city now pays Ihe monopoly, the annual Income for day lights would be 808.6:8. Would Bring $83,000. On on Investment of 1171,870—the cost of erecting the plant—an annual saving of 140,000 for the city owned lights and an annual profit of about 843.000 on day lights to private con sumer*—^figuring the price to consum er* at the coat the city Incurs for her own lights—would total 393,000, This would be a net return on the Investment of about 30 per cent. In other word., the city rould pay for the plant, nut of the pronto. In a little more than three years If llte city sold lights at thr same price lhat Ihe monopoly now charges her. the saving would bs.M0.00O on her own lights, and thf proflt on day lights would be 1(9,000, minus 110,000 oper ating expenses In day. The total would be Slin.000 profit a year. Thla would be a net return of about (0 pererent, and the plant would pay for Itself In leas than three years. .The report of the Hsll-lllgea Com pany waa submitted to Alderman Key, chairman of the municipal ownership committee of council, Monday after noon.
