From tho Atlanta Journal.
Did you ever meet a real itve
town-builder?
I met one last night at the Kim
ball House and he told me a thing
or two of Interest to Georgia.
His name is Benjamiu W. Hitch
cock, and he hails from the city of
New York, where he stood for years
iu the front rank of great real es
tate men. Iu bis time be has built
a cumber of small suburban towns
just outside tbe metropolis aud
sold them lot by lot to people of
very moderste meaus at small fig-
res on long time.
But what I* more to tbe point be
Is goiug to build a town In Geor
gia aud brlug down people from
tbe north to live In It.
How long have you been ooutb ?"
I asked.
About two weeks. I came down
with my wife on a pleasure and
business trip combined and we
have made a tour of Louisiana,
Mississippi^ Alabams, Tennessee,
stopping at New Oris*."* Memphis,
Chattanooga, Birmingham, etc.
We have had a delightful time of it,
and liko which we hare seen very
much—but let me say this, Atlan
ta Is the best and most progrsa-
slve place I've struck.
It is tbe New York of tbe south,
snd, size considered, has Just as
much push and plaok about IL”
Glancing around tbe Kimball ro
tunda, he continued:
Why, Just look st the people,
There are more people concentrated
right Iu Ibis hotel to-night than In
any hotel iu New York city,
course we have more hotels up
there snd the people are more dif
fused, but what I have just said I
know to be true.”
"Thirty years ago,” said lie,
when I was Just ttrenty-foui years
old, I went to Chicago. At that
time Chicago was not as big and
lively as Atlanta Is now.”
As Mr. HUchcock has spent up
wards of11,0.0,000 in building towns
around New York, and $300,000 In
advertising them, be ought to know
something about the buslneee.
He Is uow considering three sites
for bis towu In Middle Georgia,
which part of the State, be says, Is
best suited to his purpose, and will
mnat probably buy a tract of sever
al thousand* of acres between Mi
ami Savannah, aud »aya that
between Ibis and Christinas he w.ll
begin the building of Ida little city
I within a few more mouths will
plutil a «o‘»my of Northern people
of moderate means In it.
"I have looked over the ground,”
Id he, "and find the conditions of
health all that could be deshed.
sat tidied that the people who
eouic down call, by ordinary indus
try, make a living from the start,
and b> working bard will have uo
trouble In making money.
Georgia Is undoubtedly the em
pire Slate or tbe South, and every
thing oah be produced here that
can be produced anywhere.”
He has ample capital to build
town*, and when his Georgia city
la ready he will spend aboit 935,000
Progress of th* South.
From the admirable address of
Hon. \V. Y. Atkinson, of Coweta,
delivered at tbe openlug of the
State Fair at Macon, we take the
following paragraphs, showing the
wonderful advance tbe South has
made In the last ten years. It Is
truly wonderful, and enough to
make a southern man feel proud
of hi* land: *
I around u* are evidence* of
thrift, growth and progress. The
dlsplay.of live slock, of muvliiiiery
and its products, the agricultural
exhibits which come from the
smiling harvest fields, all tell us In
the language of magnificent
achievement of our Increasing
wealth, Industrial skill aud coin
Ederolal greatness.
This pros|»erlty is not peculiar to
Georgia, but Is shared by every
southern state. Wherever you find
that pure Anglo-Saxon stock, which
made the south, uuder the old order
of things, the home culture, Inde
pendence and statesmanship, you
find a people who meet tbe demauds
of every emergency and have proven
themselves without superior among
the |>eoples of tho earth-
With an energy unsurpassed,with
courage unequalled, with a pride
inherited from the proudest of au
cestors, the south was quick to
brush away the ashes of desolation
to rebuild her brokeu fortunes, to
replace poverty with prosperity.

I visited tbe vineyards at Bronte, t_
Sicily, which an 800 acres in extent, and
where some 110 men, under a surveyor,
were trenching the ground in one lonj;
line. They were a poor looking lot, but
appeared to use their implement*, which
arc more like axes than spades, to good
purpose. When they do not, at such
times os English eyes are not upon them,
the surveyor’s stick or whip plays pretty
freely about their bocks, J believe, and
without vigilance they will not work at
all. They come from their villages on
Monday morning and return on Satur
day night .They are lodged, receive
three meals, and about eightpence a day.
The first two meals aro given in the
vineyard, each man having a sardine,
hunch of excellent bread, and a "puli’*
at tha. wine barrel. The third meal, be
fore dismissal in the yard at night, con
sists of porridgo, served in a trough,
from which they sooop it out with their
fingers, having discarded tho spoons orig
inally provided them.—English Illus

The Msgzra River Canal.
Tho Niagara River canal is expected
to cost $3,500,000 and furnish 118,000
horse power. With coal at $4 or $5
ton, tho cost of ono horso power is placed
at from $39 to $40 a year, or, roughly,
ten tons of coal per year per horse j
This canal, if it gives tho estimated
horso power, will furnish a power about
equal to 1,200,000 tons a year. This will
cost, taking a capitalized valno of four
Jet cent, on the investment, $140,000 as
tho first outlay, and at least as mnch
more for maintenance and repairs. The
horse power will therefore be abontas
cheap on coal at twenty cents a ton, and
it appears capable of almost indefinite
expansion unless the falls are considered
of more valno than horse power.—New
York Telegram.
The First Sewing Machine.
It is strange how badly we get
portant matters of history mixed. Ask
any well informed person who invented
the sewing machine and tho reply will
bo Elias Howe, which is far from tho
truth in the cose. Tho first sewing ma
chine was patented in England by
Thomas Saint in 1780, sixty years before
Howe was born. Ono of Saint's old ma
chines is now on exhibition in tho Royal
Agricultural hall, Islington, England-—
St. Louis Republic.
One causo assigned by soveral physi

quantities that it finally loses its restora
