IMIHHBnH THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY, AUGUST «. 1507, A CARD TO THE PUBLIC! I had hoped that the race for Alderman from the Third ward would be finished without any card writing to the public or any unnecessary letters to the voters denying false rumors that are usually circulated in campaigns of this kind, but my 'oppo nent, or his friends, have seen fit to circulate several false'rumors, all of which, are absolutely without foundation whatever, and done simply and solely for political effect, among which are: First: That I would attempt, if elected, to raise the license of all soda water, stands in the city to the sum of $500 per an num. v Second: That while in the building business in Atlanta for eleven years, before my election to the office of City Building Inspector, I had used negro carpenters 'on my buildings. Third: That I had opposed and always fought union labor. Fourth: That I was out of the race for Alderman.. Fifth: That I had used my office as City Building Inspector to further my private interests. I wish to deny positively any and all of these rumors as' ab solutely .false and without any foundation whatever. In-the first place, it never entered my mind to raise licenses of any kind, or class of business. In the second place, during my eleven years’ experience as a contractor I used white carpenters exclusively, and never had a negro carpenter on my pay-roll in my life. Third: I have never opposed union labor in any form what ever, but always in employing my men employed them according to their ability and experience ns skilled mechanics, without ever asking the question as to whether or not they were union men. I do know that a number of men employed by me for years belonged to the union, and at one time the President of the Car penters ’ Union was in my employ. Fourth: I am not out of the race for Alderman from the Third ward, and will not be until after the election Wednesday night, at-which, time I expect tp be elected. Fifth: During my term of office as City Building Inspector I faithfully and impartially enforced all laws pertaining to that office without fear or favor, and have never received the benefit or value of one cent, directly or indirectly, other than the salary thereto attached. This card will be unnecessary to my friends who know me, but I write it for the purpose of letting those who do not know me see to what steps some men will go in order to be elected to an office. Respectfully, FRANK A. PITTMAN, Candidate For Alderman From Third Ward. INDIGESTION AND GOUT HINDER HA GUE DELEG A TES By HAYNE DAVIS.

Stocks, of Atlanta, last Saturday sent fifteen men to open up ore reins and ascertain their value, with a view to mining the property on an extensive scale. Since the purchase, the property has Increased In value enormously.
