Healey, president of the Healey Real Estate and Improvement Com pany, was the defendant to a suit In the police court Friday morning which occupied over an hour and which was hotly contested by counsel. He. was fined $S0 by Judge Broyles on a charge of maintaining a .nuisance, Inspector Oartrell, of th* health department, having charged Mr. Healey with dam ming up the How of surface water and : forming a pond which breeds mosqui toes. Th* case was set for 10 o'clock and v as argued until nearly noon. The de fense held that the owner of the prop- . ri tv had a right to protect hi* own land from th* encroachment* of water and that It waa the city'* duty to abate- the nuisance, Mr. Healey having forced, the water off hi* own land. The qlty, held that the owner of the lot had no right to build an erfibankment to force the water from his own land Into the street. _ , After hearing the arguments Judge Broyles assessed a fine of $60 nnd costa. Mr. Healey gave notice of an appeal to higher courts. The pond In ques tion Is near Johns and Gray streets and has been the cause of a number of complaints.

The agricultural committee of the senate favorably recommended Senator Furr's bill for establishing agricultural - and mechanical art schools In every cengrcsalonal district of the state. FISHES JUST SNAP UP CHEWING GUM By Private lasted Wirt. Port Jervis, N. Y., July 27.—Accord ing to M. D. Westbrook, who has Just turned from Twin Lakes, Pike coun- . y. Pa., the flah have multiplied beyond belief, because of the open winter, and they bite at anything. Three women, afraid to put worm* on their book*, substituted chewing gum, and they caught a big mesa of baas. * The subjoined card from Harvle Jor dan, whether by accident or design, did not reach The Georgian office until too late for editorial notice, though Mr. Jordan himself left Atlanta early Fri day morning for another point In the elate, andthe card must have been prepared previous to hi* departure. The public play rest Maured, however, that ths_coplmunlcat^n will reeelts what-, ever'attention It deserve* In'the edi torial columns of The Georgian. That Mr. Jordan has been hard hit Is evident from the heat and temper with which he essays to answer The Oeorglsn's criticism of recent ugly development* affecting those high up In the affairs of the Southern Cotton Association. Mr. Jordan’s card Is prefaced with a statement from the Atlanta Credit Men's Association. Both are printed In full.—Rd. ATLANTA CREDIT MEN MAKE STATEMENT . The Credit Men'* Association of At lanta, engaged In a struggle to ex tirpate the evils of future gambling, which Is now doing more harm to Geor gia than all other things combined, .wras amaxed, dumbfounded and Indig nant to find Th* Atlanta Georgian, a paper which had previously stood for everything that wo* right, waa being used as to It* editorial columns In de fense of a certain class of future deal ers. It was generally rumored around the city that the editor of the paper, Mr. John Temple Grave*, had two or three broihers-ln-law engaged In the so- railed business of future dealings, and- It was believed that Mr. Graves In hla Ignorance of Ihe true aspect of an economic question had been led astray by these kinsmen. The Credit Men's Association ap pointed a committee ' and aasoclated with that committee Mr. Harvle Jor dan, who was requested to write the reply to The Georgian. Mr. Jordan wrote the reply from Monllcello and mailed It to ua. fn his absence and without hla knowledge, the cartoon waa made by our orders, and the cartoon and article were published In The At lanta Journal at our expense. The cartoon was reported to because we learned that The Georgian, with the editorial* referred to, had been aent to the members of the legislature under sealed rover, and because of the pre vious stand of Th* Georgian these ar ticles were calculated to do our cause harm, and we, therefore, felt entirely Justified In using a legitimate weapon like the cartoon. Mr. Jordan never saw or had any knowledge whatsoever of the rartoon until It appeared In print, and this association assume* full responsibility for It. The Credit Men's Association of Atlan ta. by R. H.' WHITE, President. E. I. RHODES, Secretary. HARVIE JORDATci CARD SHOWS MUCH TEMPER The Horn John Temple Graves re turned yesterday from the sea coast and began at once to allpg tnud over the edltorlil pages of (The Atlanta Georgian In a thoroughly uncalled-for tirade of abuse and ungentlemanly In sinuations because of a reply which I wrote recently, at the requeat of the Atlanta Credit Men's Association, to an edltorlhl In The Georgian Indorsing the gambling methods of local cotton exchanges, and more particularly the New York Cotton Exchange. There wa* absolutely nothing In the article, which was prepared over my signature, that wa* In any wise offensive to the editor of The Georgian pnles* It wa* found In the exposure of the position taken by til* paper In an advocacy of gambling In futures through the pres ent system of local wire house*. 1 expressed rqgrrt and Surprise that the editor of The Georgian, who had been regarded as a friend of the South ern Cotton Association, especially dur ing his fleeting though disappointing career as a candidate for political of fice, should allow the editorial columns of his paper to be used In the advo cacy of a great evil which the law- ablillng people of Georgia were using every endeavor to suppress. I used arguments In tbs defense of a business, and moral proposition which was en tirely acceptable to the Atiartta Credit Men's Association, and which they pub lished In connection' with a cartoon which they prepared, and about which I knew absolutely nothing, and did not see until after K appeared In The At lanta Journal. The cartoon I* what seemed to have especially riled th* lion. John Temple; because It showed him up as defending the gambling In stitutions of which hi* two brothers-lp- law are manager*. Hut I didn't prepare the cartoon, Mr. Graves. You knew Ihe Atlanta Credit Men's Association wo* responsible for both the article and cartoon, but you had only kind and complimentary words for them. Why? Was It because they do more or less advertising, and The eGorglan wants a slice of the pie they give out to the public which command* valua ble and monetary, tpturne? Statement of Facte, Here are the .facts. If you are not posted, because, they occurred, while you claim to have beep taking a much ly needed .bath tin «the salt water off th* coast of the Carolina*. Late In the afternoon of July It I wa* Invited to be present at a meeting of the At lanta Credit Men's Association, In room 104 of the Kimball House. When arrived at this meeting the member* of that association were discussing an editorial which had that afternoon ap peared In The Georgian, strongly in dorsing and advocating the'local cot ton exchanges In Atlanta a* legitimate Institutions aiid also the methods of the New York eotton exchange. After a short discussion by the members It wa* unanimously voted that the ed itorial In The Georgian was directly antagonistic to the objects and pur poses of their association In the stren uous efforts they were making to break up gambling In futures in this state, and that the editorial In question should be handled with glove* off. A committee of five member* was ap pointed to prepare and publish the re ply to The Georgian, and 1 was Invited to assist the committee In the prepara tion of the article. This I agreed to do and have no regrets or apologies to make to you or anyone els* far rthe part I played. . Nothing was said about f cartoon. J left the city that night and went down to my plantation In Jasper county, where I remained several days. While at home In the country the next day I wrote the article at which you have taken so much offense ahd mailed tt back to the committee of the Credit Men's Association, with the request to ua* such part* of It a* they saw fit In the final preparation of th* article they wanted to publish. That closed my connection with the Incident. Three days later I received a copy of the At lanta Journal, containing not only th* full article which I had prepared, but alio the cartoon which seems to have given you such a severe case of Indi gestion. The Atlanta Credit Men's Association I* alone responsible for the cartoon which presented you in such bad light before the public, and for th* article I wrote, both of which they willingly stand sponaor Tor. V * . With a .know!edge of tftes*. facts. If you have any manhood you should at once withdraw the dirty and* contempt- Ible language used to your editorial of yesterday, and direct It at th* Atlanta Credlt^Men's Association. It Is unfor tunate for you and your paper that you ehould have used such strong and Intemperat* language unwittingly to ward so large and distinguished a body of business men In Atlanta. Vain and Conceited. Ypu often refer In your despicable editorial to the great amount of good work you have accomplished for the Southern Cotton Association. You only trldd Co save the country.with the dis play of an extraordinary amount of not air and schoolboy rhetoric, while you were an active candidate for the United Btatea senate. We have not heard of your shelling the woods any and whooping the wool-hat boy* up since you saw the handwriting on the wall anil reluctantly lowered your po litical color*. You call me a •‘compla cent politician.” You are right. I aifi complacent because I always got what I wanted politically, when I was In the political arena. I ahall entitle you a "disgruntled, disappointed politi cian” because you have never been able to get anything that you wanted politically from th* people, and a num ber of times you have felt that you were called. You say that I'have cost the farmers of Georgia hundreds of thousands of dollars In advocating high pries* for cotton. . This Is a strange confession, and shows how absolutely Ignorant you are of practical business affairs, espe cially a* regards th* , legitimate spot cotton situation. It Is well known to all largs cotton dealers and manufac turer* that but for the hard fight I made this winter for higher price* the cotton grower* all over the South would have been forced to market their cotton at from $5 to $10 per bale lower than they received. That 1 have made mistake* and that the Southern Cotton Association ha* made mistakes there can be no denial, but they have been Infinlteaslmsl com pared with the tremendous gain* which have accrued to the South, con aervatlvely estimated by leading au thorltle* at $100,000,000 alone In the price of cotton. The, losaes to which you refer have been sustained through the maintenance of bucket shops and local wire houses, which you are trying so hard to bolster up and which the legislatures of Georgia and the other state* Intend to suppress. I have re ceived thousands of letters from farm ers In the past few months and spoken to thousands more and In not one let ter, or from th# Ups of n single farmer In Georgia or elsewhere, hav* 1 ever been criticised as you Insinuate. The only people from whom you quote In your scurrilous tirade of discontent are those engaged In operating local cot ton exchanges and bucket shops. Those who are so artlve In their fight against the passage of th* present anti-bucket shop and local exchange bill now pending in the Georgia senate. A brother-in-law of yours, Mr. Coth ran, by your own admission, Is the local manager of Ware A Leland’s pri vate wire house, and Dr. Crawford, by his admission. Is, or was, until quite recently, part owner of an Atlanta bucket shop. These men can doubt less not only tell you how much money Georgia farmer* have lost In dealing with their Institutions, but also give you a list of the Individual names and loasea of each man. I have not th* honor of their acquaintance, but they seem to be boon companions of yours; leastwise you seem to love to quote from them. I care not to notice the contemptible Insinuations contained In your extended effusion. They are be neath the notice of respectability and place you among that class of pigmies which are looked upon as the least and most Insignificant of Ood's creation. It would appear that the editor of The Georgian Is too great to be criti cised. Filled with eoncMt and vanity, you utterly fall to see yourself as others see you. Like the gaudy pea cock, you etrflt the,street*, admiring your own plumage, much to,the amuse ment of • the public at large. Your slenderou* Insinuations that 1 have In any way been connected with future gambling transaction* going on In this city, is an Intentional and ma licious falsehood, which makes It a mean and cowardly attack.

The ordinance, passed at the last ses sion of council after several months of pow-wowing between the officials of the city and of the railroad, allows three openings on East Hunter street to the yards and one on Butler streak President Smith In hla communica tion states that cutting off each of th* tracks eight feet, as Is provided In tha ordinance, would be a loss of 7 par cent of the car space In the yards, that on average coal car holds 40 tons and that this would mean that the yards would be decreased In capacity 140 tons a day or 48.000 tona In 200 days. He further states that moving back the tracks from the sidewalk would mean a loss of 3.600 square feet of th* yards and suggests as a substitute for the ordinance that four more openings be allowed and that the tracks remain up against the sidewalk. This suggestion of the president of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which really amounts to telling th* city council what It should do, has angered a number of the city officials and also several members of council who hav* seen the communication. At tbe present time there Is but one opening to the yards on Hunter street and one on Butler street. Mayor Woodward said Friday that, as Presi dent Smith had refused to comply with the ordinance, the yard would remain aa It now la with only the two open ings until the matter la settled In th* courts. • There la some possibility of the Louisville and Nashville’s attempting to remove the Jjarriers. If such an ef fort Is madAthe street will be petrolled by the city police and by force the railroad men will be detained from carrying out any such project.
