7BE SOETB V.OXCM PaIE.
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

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

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. In the
second place, aa to whether or not it conld
give the public the full facts In the c
nply waited until the fourteen days,
tbe Umlt of Ujae In which the fever
may possibly develop, had expired.
The .lme wm ont on yesterday, and ttls re*
porter called on Dr. Westmoreland. We found
the old veteran iu the beat of humor and in a
condition of physical health that was abeolu’dy
exhilarating. He knew what waa comir g, and
with a twinkle In hU brave gray eye, opened the
conversation with.
I’m not dead yet”
Has the fever had time ?o w*rk?" we asked.
‘More than time. It usually develops in eight
days—often leas. 1 have given it fourteen days,
which la the outtlde possible limit. I have
had no symptoms cf kick nett, bat actually
feel better than usual. 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."
'This, howi ver,” the doctor went 00 to aay,
“in co new discovery. 1 simply have given it
this new test to tsenre the panicky people of
tbia city. It waa detconstraUd time and again
the epidemic oi ’54. 76. etc, Why, it was
demonstrated three weeks ago, • in this city."
How waa that ?” we naked.
There was a man irom Memphis who waa
taken sick at one 01 our leading hotel*. I
sent for and soon discovered tbat he had yellow
fever. I informed the proprietor of the hotel,
and assured bim that there waa 00 danger. He
allowed me to attend h'm quietly, in hia room.
He waa well In eight daya. and nobody know* it
to tbia day, except a vexy few persona."
What will bo the result of yonr experiment?"
Why it will dispel the foolish notion about yel
low fever being carried about iu clothes or
package*, or letters. It will tend
nece-aary quarantines—to relieve the paraljss'
tion of commerce, and it will convince the peo
ple of Atlanta that there ia no danger in obeying
the dictates of humanity and throwing open
ber hotels, boarding houses and private homes
need be, to iheso unfortunates.
•You consider It impossible then for tbe fever
be bred here T*
‘Absolutely, there Is nothing here to feed it
It ia a malarial fever, and must have ma
laria. There la no malaria here. Toerea
four degrees of malarial fever—cnilla, billei
fever, congestive (or pernicious) fever, and yel
low fever. Nor we can not breed even the
find phase of thia fevar here. I have never aeen
over three or ft or caret of chilli that originated
in this city, and those were due to some pecn isr
local came, No, air; It ia absolutely Impossible
bave B alarial f« ver here, and we need
not fear it 80 I think we ought to open our
doom to the yellow fever patients and invite
them to come here and make this iheir asylum.
Chattanooga baa done it and with no more eale-
ty than Atlanta conld do it.”

condition of oate, as shown by the Au
gust returns to the agricultural depart
ment, is represented by 100; the aver
age of July, 101. The crop suffered from
the extreme beat and other unfavora
ble influences of July. The Atlantic
states north of South Carolina, except
Maesichueetts and Connecticut, show a
decline, especially marked in Delaware,
where the average ia bnt seventy
against 108 in July. The growth cf the
plant in some counties was stunted by
drought aud rust caused by
excessive rain. In others the crop
ran to straw and the heads filled
poorly. South Carolina, Georgia aud
Florida show an improvement. Win
ter sowing has given an increased vi
tality to cro>>e. Alabama, Missiwippi
and Arkansas show a decline. L uia-
iana, Texes «nd Tennessee raise their
standard. West Virginia and Ken
tucky fall ff from their previous nigh
figures. O; tbe states north ci tbe
Ohio river, Ohio, Michigan and Mis
sonri show sn improved condition.
All others report a decline, as does
California. The crop enjoyed varied
conditions of growth io the llississ’ppi
val.ey and on the Pacific coast, ibe ex
treme range of varia’ion being between
70 in Delaware and 113 in Tennessee.
Most states ranged between 100 and 95.
