■Mr. Callaway, how is the real estate
outlook just now?
■ Will, the market has shared the
coneial stringency, and consequently
tl,c usual number of sales havo not
transpired. I have noticed, however, a
much better inquiry 'n the past two
weeks. Several have money to invest,
but they don't want anybody else to
know it, and they have wisolyconcluded

“Has the absence of transactions les
scncil the prices?”
“I don't know of a single piece of
property that can ho bought at less than
last spring’s prices. On the other hand,
all business and central property is ad
vancing. A year ago one owner Instruc
ted mo to sell bis vacant store property
at fifty dollars a front foot. He now re
fuses over $10Ck and is not anxious to
take $12o. Another piece of proper
ty which I then offered at eighty-five
dollars a front foot, I was recently of
fered $1:13, by two; my price then was
$130 a front foot, and it cannot now be
bought for less than $200.”
“llow are these figures as compared
with other towns P”
“Sonic people think they are high, but
every real estato man, and every ono else
wlm is at all posted as to values in other
places, know such figures are vory low.

from to-day, business property here will
be worth from fifty to ono hundred per
cent more than the prices now ruling ”
Is the demand for houses by tenants
as great as ever ?”
“! have seen no abatement In two
years, but rather an increase, !f such
were possible. And right here you will
do Amoricus great service if you can
impress our monied men with the
necessity for more houses. Our city has
suffered and is now suffering. Tho
general prosperity of anyplace is limited
to tlic houses that aro furnished new
comers. When they find It impossible
to find shelter, of course they aro com
pelled to hunt other towns in which to
plant their enterprises.
“Another hindrance with us is the
want of eligiblo building sites conve
nient to tlio work of white laboring men.
For this class central vacant land is too
high, and Kant Americus is too remote.
As you know, much of the prettiest and
most convenient parts of Americus is
occupied by our colored population. It
therefore behooves our people to do
everything in their powor to place tho
laboring man within easy access of Ills
work. There is no streot-car for him to
ride in, and lie would not bo ablo, per
haps, if there was.”

Three Men to Hang.
Atlanta, May 12.—[Special.]—Judge
Clark, in the superior court to-day,
sentenced three men to the gallows.
Charles M. Ozburn, for killing James W.
Bradley, to hang on June 20.
George Washington, colored, to hang
on July 3, for shooting down on Christ
mas ovo In cold blood, Hen Oliver, also
colored. Whon Washington was sen
tenced he smiled and said to tho bailiff
near him: “Hope they'll hang mo In
the morning so I’ll get to hell In time
for dinner.”
Elisha Underwood, for the murder of
Alex Sayre last March, was sentenced to
swing on July 10. Underwood and Oz

lay in fixing the rates, but they will bo
practically tlio samo as last year.
Tho largo number of people who leave
Americus for tho resorts every summer
for a longer or shorter stay will soon be
gin to calculate the cost of a summer
trip, the railroad fare being the chief
item in the calculation, though it is a no
torious fact that hotel bills distance
railroad fare clear out of sight, when it
comes to a summer trip, especially If it
bo a fashionable resort.
Many will go to Cumberland and Ty-
bee, while Indian Springs will catch
hundreds.
The mountains of North Georgia are
becoming more popular every year, and
thousands of people from all over the
state flock there. They have found that
it Is just as pleasant in the mountains of
Georgia os in Virginia or any other
state.
So many Jittle places are springing up
In that portion of the state and claiming
the public attention that accommodation
Is very easy to obtain, and rates arc
much lower than at tho fashionable re
sorts further north. Marietta, Gaines
ville, Tallulah, Toccoa and other well-
known places will of course be well pat
ronized. There will, as usual, be a largo
number of Americus people who will
visit the lakes and other fashionable

INTO CI1ATTANOOGA NOW.
The Cenfrul Gets the Chattanooga, Itome
and Columbus.
In an Interview with Mr. M. Callaway,
published in The Timeh-Rkcohder yes
terday, that gentleman said among other
tilings that there was considerable activ
ity in city real estate, and that a number
of deals were on the tapis.
That ho was not far from right in his
prediction was shown yesterday in tlio
salo or two or three desirable properties,
to say nothing of several other trades
that lack nothing but the signing of tlio
deeds to mako their consummation
certain.
A lining tlio sales reported yesterday
was that of a beautiful residence lot on
JacksOn street, off the north side of
Capt. W. M. Hitt's property. The lot
has a frontago of sixty feet and brought
$1,000. Mr. J. IV. Stallings was tlio
purchaser, and will at onco begin the
erection of a vory handsome residence
thereon.
Another desirable piece of store prop
erty also changed hands, Mr. Walter
Brown purchasing from tho Americus
Investment Company the two stores on
Lamar street, at present occupied by
Charles Schriver and Sim Jenkins re
spectively. Mr. Brown got a bargain in
his purchase, paying only $4,500 for this
desirable property.
Ho bought it merely as an Investment,
the price put upon it proving too tempt
ing to be resisted. In a short while the
building will bo very much Improved
and made aa desirable for business as
any in that portion of the city. As evi
dence of the fact that the purchaser got
bargain, ho refused a profit of $500 on
tho trade an hour afterwards.
Among other substantial improve
ments contemplated in central property
is the orectlon of a handsome brick
block by Mr. L. G. Hudson, on his valu
able vacant property corner of Leo and
Jefferson streets. Mr. Hudson lias his
plans almost matured, and if lie fully
decides to build may order the work
started almost any day.
The proposed building will be two
stories, with some three or four com
modious storo-rooms on the first floor.
The second lloor will be fitted up for
offices and sleeping apartments, for
which tbero is always such great do-
mand In Americus, and already Mr.
Hudson has had many . applications
from parties wanting rooms tbero.
All of which bears out the oft re
peated statement of The Times-Re-
(order that there aro not nearly
enough houses in Americus to accom
modate tho people who aro anxious to
come here, and who do como, even
though they aro forced to room around
town over stores and got tholr meals as
host they can. More houses aro a ne
cessity, and the sooner they aro built
the sooner will tho city’s population
grow as it has novor before done.
SWEPT iiy flames.
Savannah, May It.—It is pretty well
settled that the Central lias secured the
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus rail
way, and now has a through llue to
Cliattanooia. Gen. Alexander Is In
New York, it is understood, to arrange a
consummation of tho deal.
The new lino, it is understood, will be
a part of the Savannah and Westorn
system. A proposition was submitted
to tlio stockholders of the Chattanooga,
Rome and Columbus last week for tho
purchaso of the property, to Indorse
$224,(XX) first mortgage five per cent
bonds issued by tho Chattanooga, Rome
and Columbus, and now outstanding,
anil In addition thereto to transfer to
the stockholders of tho latter road $400,-
000 of Savannah and Westorn five per
cent, bonds. These bonds are now
piotcd in tlio Now York stock market
at clghty-throo conts.
In consideration of the foregoing tlio
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus was
required to deliver to tlio Savannah and
Western all property belonging to tho
former road, rolling stock, roadbed, ter
minal facilities, and two-tliirds of the
common stock and $1,140,000 of non-
cuniulativo income bonds.
Tho proposition was voted on by the
stockholders and unanimously accopted,
nearly three-fourths of tho stock bolng
represented at the meeting.
The deal has been pending for two or
three months, and Its final consumma
tion now only awaits the official action
of the Central authorities. The formal
transfer will probably be made this
week. J. W. Williamson, former presl
dent of tho Chattanooga, Rome and
Columbus, It is understood, will bo made
division superintendent of the lino from
Chattanooga to Griffin.
The Central will now'have a through
lino to Chattanooga. The Chattanooga,
Romo and Columburs runs from Carroll
ton, where It connects with the Savan
nah, Griffin and North Alabama to
Chattanooga. It has 140 miles of main
line and thirty-five miles of branch
mineral roads. Tho distance from .Sa
vannah to Chattanooga is soventeen
miles greater than by Atlanta and the
Western and Atlantic, but being over its
own roads tbo Central will bare tlio ad
vantage in frolgbt hauls. The Chat

Baltimore, Md , May 8 —The Manu
facturers' Record, of this week publish
es a list of evory cotton seed oil mill In
tlio south, giving tho name, location and
capacity of cadi. This report snows
that there arc now 104 mills with a cap
ital of over $20,000,000 against forty
mills with a capital of $3,500,000in 1880.
Forty of those mills have established
fertilizer faotories in connection with
their oil business, using cotton seod
meal, as tlio basis for manufacturing
fertilizers.
Reviewing this industry, the Manu
facturers’ Record says: “It waa but a
few years ago when cotton seed was an
incumbrance and when farmers had to
dump It whorover they had a waste
placo. It is truo that to somo extent its
value ns a fertilizer was recognized, and
bore and thore it was used for that pur
pose, but it counted nothing in adding
to tho wealth of the south or to tho pros
perity of the southern farmer. The In
crease in the mills has been greater in
size and quality than In number. Many
of the oil mills that wero badly con
structed a-1 fitted with antiquated ma
chinery have been abandoned, and the
business concentrated In nowerand more
thoroughly equipped mills. The cotton
oil trust has pursued this policy and has
ceased to operate a number of mills that
It purchased.

With this grand object In view he has

East Tennessee.
Tho land has three coal seams in It,

day evening, we learn of the destruction
of one of the numerous big mills along
that line of road.
Tlio mill was located near Milan, and
was the property of W. T. Wilcox. The
entire plant was burned, together with
two box cars and a coal car which stood
on a siding near by.
The fire was supposed to have been
accidental, and resulted In aloes of about
$4 000 to the owners of tho mill, on
which there was no Insurance. Several
thousand shingles were also burned.
Cambric stationary makes a charming
writing material. It is made in imita
tion of pure whlto and unbleached
brie, and although the paper is slightly
it affords a pleasant and cosy
rfaco.
