J. M. HODGSON, Chairman.
Tate Wright, Clerk Board of Com
missioners Roads & Revenues Clarke
County, Ga.
Atlanta, April 199.—There Is a
positive belief that the legislature
will emphatically turn down the pro
posal looking to the disposition of
tho executive mansion property on
Peachtree street, which was approv
ed by the legislative committee and
will be reported favorably to the gen
eral assembly at its coming session.
A 99 year lease with a steady In
come Is a mighty good thing, provided
the Income is big enough—commen
surate with the property's value. But
it Is recalled in this case the leassce
proposes to take the property free
of all taxes, through which the state
loses approximate))' $2,000 a year for
the period through w-'nieh the lease
Is to run.
To recapitulate the proposal, B. M.
Grant & Co., real estate agents here,
representing some person unknown,
agree to pay the state $12,000 the
first five years, $15,000 a year for the
ten years following, $18,000 a year
for the next ten years and $22,000 a
year for the remaining portion of the
95 year term.
Putting the present value of the
property at $351,000, the highest cash
price offered, the committee proposes
that the state shall accept for the
property 3,4 per cent rental the first
five years, 4.25 per centYhe next ten
years, 5.1 per cent for the next ten
years and 6.2 per cent thereafter,
without taxes. These percentages
are all based on the present value
of the properly and not upon such
Increases ns It may take on from time
to time.
Considering that the tract, 140 by
400 on a central corned, Is the most
valuable available property In the
city today, nnd considering, too, that
several 99-year leases have been
made nt better prices, location and
size of property being kept In view,
this looks like a very small rental
for the state to get out of the prop
erty.
Thnt there Is big money In It for
the mnn who gets the lease at this
prlee, there Is no question.
It was natural for the committee to
perfer n lease proposition to one for
snle outright, because tr the prop
erty Is sold, the money received from
It would have to go Into the state's
public property fund which can only
be used for paying off the public debt.
But If It la leased the rental can be
used for general purposes. However,
the legislature hns found no trouble
In the past In spending the public
property fund for general purposes,
nnd there Is no reason to see why It
should do so In this case. About ten
years ago the question first came up.
The state had about $300,000 In the
public property fund and wanted to
use It for general purposes. The
problem was finally solved by UBlng
this money to pay off Interest on the
bonded debt, and using the Interest
money for general expenses—which
Is one way .of beating the devil
mound a stump. This disposition of
the money was upheld by the state
supreme court.
This digression Is simply to show
that the state might have used the
proceeds from the mansion In any
manner It might see fit. However,
would consider, so will leave the
question of a new executive resi
dence, in case the present one is
disposed of, up to the legislature.
It is believed the average Geor
gia legislature will study the pro
posal approved by the committee a
long time before he gets his consent
to vote for it.
History of Property.
Atlanta, April 19.—The present ex
ecutlve mansion which the state Is
about to dispose of either by lease or
sale, has had an Interesting history.
The lot which is about the only
thing the purchaser or lessee w-ants,
nnd which fronts Peachtree street
140 feet and Gain street 400 feet, was
bought by John H. James, long a
well known banker, In 1870 for $10,-
000; the legislative committee receiv
ed a cash offer of $351,000.
In 1871 Mr. James built the pres
ent governor's mansion as It stands
today, few changes having been mado
except to freshen it up, at a cost of
$50,000.
Mr. James put $3,000 worth ot fur
niture Into the residence and went
there to live.
When the legislature bought It Tor
$100,000 in bonds, Mr. James simply
walked out the front door carrying
nothing with hint hut his family and
their clothing. Furniture, carpets
and everything else was left as Mr.
James had placed them.
Then Governor Rufus B. Bulloch,
Georgia's reeonstructlon governor
moved in In 1872, and since then ev
ery governor of the state has resided
there.
Mr. James did not recolvp, however,
anything like $37,000 profit on his
deal, as the figures would Indicate.
It Is said that some considerable
sums were spent for spectacles for
short-sighted members of the legisla
tive committee which had the mat
ter under consideration, ns It was
difficult for them to read tho con-
tract
Then, after this, Mr. James took
the bonds to New York and sold
them to Henry Clews for $85,000.
The bonds were afterwards paid by
the state. Mr. James cleared, It Is
said, approximately $15,000 cn the
deal.
Four Old-Fashioned Brass Cannon
Rumbled Down Broadway Yesterday
New York, April 19.—Four old-
fashioned brass cannon which rum
bled over the Broadway cobblestones
in '61 rumbled again over the pave
ment of Fifth avenue today amid the
cheers of thousands ot spectators.
The occasion was the fiftieth anni
versary of the departure of New
York's Seventh Regiment for the
front, by way of Jersey City, Phila
delphia, Baltimore and Washington,
at the outbreak of the civil war. The
brass cannon were*" the regiment's ^
howitzer equipment of 12-pounderi
which on "The March Down Broad,
way" were cheered by thousands of
flag-bearing citizens all the way from
the Seventh Regiment Armory to the
foot of Courtlandt street With the
historic cannon there was a repro
duction of an old-time baggage wagon
bearing the legend, “Our Seventh
Knows no North, nor South, nor East
r.or West, but Only One Whole Un
ion." It was under this banner that
the regiment marched down Brosd-
way fifty years ago today.

Commerce, Ga., April 19.—At the
First Baptist church last Sunday
night the pastor, Dr. Gilbert Dobbs
preached the third and last of his
scries of sermons on “How the Devil
Came to Commerce,” his special
theme being God or Mammon. An
uyual a large congregation heard the
thrilling message. His text was “Ye
cannot serve God and Mammon.” In
Ms prefatory remarks the preacher
referred to an apt character sketch
by Dr. Ixjfton on how the Devil went

nature and baits his hooks accord

SrRIPLIi CASE
STILL DISCUSSED
What (he Governor will do Now
Puzzles the Attorneys Though
He Seems Against Pardon.
LEGAL NOTICE.
GEORGIA, CLARKE COUNTY:
Notice Is hereby given to all con
cerned, that I have filed with the
Clerk of Court of said county, my pe
tition addressed to said court, return-
swear that you are president of The ab |e to the April term. 1911, for the
the committee thought It would avoid
trouble to accept n lease proposal
and has so recommended.
The committee declined to give out
the other bids or the names of the
bidders, except to say that the high
est cash prlee offered was $351,000
which Is more than $2,500 per front
foot, and further that there was an
other lease proposal at a higher fig
ure, but carried with It the privilege
of purchasing the property for 401,000
at any time during the lease period,
plus $5,000 for each year during
which the option lapses. In other
words, If the bidder did not choose
to exercise the option until the tenth
year, he would then have to pay for
the property $451,100.
There Is little doubt that ten years
from now the property will be worth
considerably more than half a million
dollars, probably three-quarters of a
million. If the rate at which values
are moving In Atlanta keeps up for
any length of time, the latter value
III be reached In fact, before the
ten year period elapses.
It will be seen, therefore, what In
terestlng possibilities there are In the
property for anyone who can succeed
ln getting It for 99 years at from 3.4
to 6 per cent of Its present value.
The Asa G. Candler or Coca Cola
Influence la supposed to be behind
the movement to acquire the mansion
site for business purposes. Mr. Can
dler owns one-half of the block In
which the property Is located, and It
is natural that he should desire to get
control of It. But If be figures in the
lease proposal approved br the com
mittee, the fact has not yet come to
light
The committee received no offer of
subatltute mansion site which H
Atlanta, April 19.—Although Tliom
as Edgar Stripling has successfully
passed the gauntlet of the prison com
mission ,and got to the governor
with a unanimous recommendation
for pardon, the general Impression
Is, since the hearing before Governor
Brown on Monday, f.t which attorneys
spoke strenuously and at length both
for and against clemency, that the
governor is go'n; to refuse ills peti
tion.
This belief Is bo.-ed ou nothing
more tangible than surface Indlca
tlons, and yet so strong are these
that predictions are freely made
among thoao who see tho governor
most frequently—for there are prac
tically none who may bn said to be
intimate with him—thnt Stripling has
as good as begun his term In the
penltlentlary.
A gentleman known to stand close
to the governor has freely prophesied
that, according to his view. Stripling
would not be pardoned outrlgh*. but
that his sentence would be commuted
tc a short term ,a year or so, after
which pardon will be operative.
The pardon power, Includes, of
course, the power to commute a
sentence to anything the governor
may deem sufficient and proper; so
that the governor could commute
Stripling’s term—a life sentence—to
a year or six months or any period he
pleased.
Believing they have made a good
showing, the lawyers for Stripling do
not attach much of import to Gov
ernor Brown’s remarks preceding the
hearing In which he reiterated former
elatements to the effect that the ex
ecutive could not nnd would not sit
as a reviewing court, and that clem
ency could only be -based on some
new and material facts and circum
stances which the courts did not have
before them or did not take Into con
sideration.
They are convinced they have made
out a new case for Stripling, though
the only new feature of consequence
appears to be the fact that during the
fourteen years since he escaped, he
lias made ^ good citizen.
Governor Brown will not decide
ease until the latter part of the week,
and his decision will be the most Im
portant feature connected with the
matter, since upon it will depend
whether or not Stripling must go to
the penitentiary and how " long he
must stay there.
Governor Brown has never allowed
sentiment to control him In the mat
ter of granting pardons, so It may be
that the wife and ten children will
scarcely have as much effect with
him as was the cate with the prison
commission.
The governor Is well aware lhat
there has been a good deal of pro
test against clemency, so that pub-
lie sentiment on the subject seems
tc be pretty evenly balanced. So far
as that Is concerned he couldn't miss
it very far one way or the other.

Memorial Day Is
Just Over The
Hill
Come, let us Join the modern drill,
Why stand there like a desert hill?
Just submissive to thy ownert' will,
Thou monument of historic fame,
Haa lost thy once attractive name,
Though marked with age by cold and
heat,
And old moss-covered marble stone,
We renovate, make white as snow,
Those stones of horrid hue.
