The fact that Albany was selected as one of two places in-Georgia at whlph Hon. Clark Howell and Hon. Hoke Smith should meet in joint de bate emphasizes a fact which Geor gians,'and even^ Albanians, are apt to lose sight of now and then, viz., that this city is one of the very best con vention points in the state. There are two reasons why this is true. In the first place, Albany’s railroad facilities are unexcelled, and the peo ple from throughout the entire lower half of the state are enabled to reach this point in either the morning or the evening, after but a short ride. There are nearly forty passenger trains a day into and out of Albany, and they make travel in this section rapid and convenient. Furthermore, Albany has the larg est auditorium in this section. It will accommodate as many persons as any structure of a similar character in the state, and causes Albany to be .greatly favored as a place for conventions, rallies, political meetings, etc. When Mr. Smith and Mr. Howell met in Atlanta last week, the largest auditorium in that city was requi sitioned. It is stated that four thou sand persons managed to crpwd into the building, many others being un able to gdin admission. Albany’s Chautauqua auditorium will easily accommodate four thousand persons. Several hundred can he seated on the stage, and there is a world of room in the aisles and around the sides. It is a fact well known that, al though there have been some immense audiences in the auditorium, the ca pacity of the building has never been overtaxed, and the “standing room only” sign was never displayed at the front entrance. It is predicted by some that the Smith-Howell joint debate to be held sometime in July will cause the audi torium record to be broken; that some of those who would gain entrance will be turned away, hut this is doubted. There is a whole - lot of room in'the big building, and there should always remain the proverbial “room for one more.” Nothing advertises a city better or more widely than conventions, and Albany .should reach out for all the gatherings that are offered. There are plenty of place’s for the smaller ones, and the-larger ones can be cared for in the Chautauqua auditorium. 1FFICHL lEPlTST OF EPIDEMICS The Reports Show Alarming Death Rate from Plague. Smallpox and Cholera in Calcutta. Washington, D. C„ June 12.— The Marine Hospital Service has .received reports ot the total of epidemics in India, showing for the week ending April 28,17,855 cases and 15,633 deaths from the plague; 2,196 cases and 1,942 deaths from the plague and 126 deaths from cholera in Bengal; 167 deaths from the plague and 99 deaths from smallpox in Calcutta. HIS FIRST WRECK WAS HIS LAST, Remarkable Career of Engineer Tom J. Blackburn. Special to **he Herald. Atlanta, Ga., June 12.—The funeral of Tom J. Blackburn, the Georgia rail road engineer who met death in Wreck .Saturday night, took place to day and was attended by representa tives of the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Engineers and the Odd Fellows. Blackburn was injured Saturday and died Sunday. In point of service he was the oldest man on the road. For more than twenty-five years he has been an engineer on the Georgia rail road and had never been in a wreck before. His first wreck was his last. In Albany’s Street Lines. Corners Out of Place. What Surveyor’s Work Has Revealed. It is hoped that the meeting of Dougherty county farmers, an effort to hold which will be made next Sat urday, will not fail to attract a rep resentative attendance. The several efforts that have been made to organ ize a local branch of the Southern Cotton Association have. resulted in failure because of a .lack of interest, though Dougherty cQunty farmers have been in sympathy with and have seconded the efforts of the associa tion. The meeting will be held at noon in the court house. We are happily rid of thp dust to day. For some time past Mr. R. J. Edg- erly; employed by the city authorities for special survey and engineering work, has been Investigating the va rious irregularities of street lines that were known to exist, but the exact extent of which had never been de termined. There are a number ot Btreet cor ners, both in the business and resi dence sections, that are badly out of alignment, while as for the lines of abutting property, there are compara tively few blocks where these exist exactly as they should. Mr. Edgerly has completed his sur- vey along Madison street, and the map which he has prepared shows that in some places that thoroughfare is fully fifteen feet wider than it should be, much private property being in the street. On the other hand, it Is found that at various points parts of streets have, been gobbled up, innocently enough, of course, by property own ers. North street is one that is consid erably out of alignment. Between Jackson and Jefferson streets, private property on the north side of North street projects into the street some thing like seven feet, while there are even greater irregularitis near the north end of Jackson. v , It furthermore appears that the streets in Arcadia are not straight; in other words, that instead of contin uing in the exact direction of the streets of the old part of the city that run north and south, they bear slight ly westward after passing Society. All these irregularities, and many others which we have not space to mention, will be presented to the City Council as soon as the survey of the engineer is completed, and it will he no easy matter for the city authorities to rectify them. Moving a fence is a comparatively easy matter, but where an Innocent property owner has erect ed a house which projects into the street, the problem assumes decidedly more troublesome aspects.
