MELBOURNE BIDS FLEET FAREWELL SOUTHERN TO BRING BACK ITS MONEY. Atlanta, Sept. 3.—It Is reported that the Southern Railway will probably In the near future bring Its bank depos its back to Georgia, even though the Legislature at Its regular session fail ed, on account of the press of other business to amend the state garnish ment lav*. It was the fact that these laws permitted the funds of the rail road company, to be tied up by litiga tion without reason or necessity that led the company to take Its money out of Georgia. Although the law. Has not been amended, it Is not believed, In the face of overwhelming public senti ment against It, that the railroad com pany would be seriously molested should it bring Its funds back. Fire about 9 o'clock last night de stroyed the barn at the old Quarter- man place on the corner of C and Quarterman streets. The place was located considerable distance outside the water limits, and there was little tie firemen could do toward extin guishing the blaze. No one was oc cupying the Quarterman house at the time of the fire and there Is every reason to believe that It was of incendiary origin. The loss was about $200. The place Is owned by Mr. J. B. Deen.

The Company be ing a national concern, was not un known to the Informed public, and from the first met with liberal patron- ape. Every month has shown an In crease In business, and their manager hero stateR that they have construct ed over $450,000 through this office alone, and loans to the amount of $35,- 000 have already been granted In this state. The object of tho Standard Trust Company Is to make loans to purchase homes, pay off mortgages, and to Im prove real estate. Those loans are made at 5 per cent, simple Interest per annum, payable monthly. This com pony brings money from centers where loaning rates are low, to a common center, for distribution to points where rates aro higher; It furnishes u safe and profitable system for Investing money In both large and small sums In a manner which will assist and en courage saving. The following extract from a pam phlet issued by the Merchants' Asso ciation of New York, emphasizes the plan of the Standard Trust Company. ‘The earnings of Trust Funds and Savings Banks from lonns range from 3 to 4 per cent, the average being about 3 1-4 per cent. The banks of dis counts And deposits, which earned fc.|66 por cent. In 1880 now earn a frnc tlon less than 6 per cont. The aver age return upon farm loans In 1890 was 6.56 per cent, and upon lot loans 5.38 per cent. The present return upon these classes of loans Is 4 1-2 to 6 per cent, since 1800. ; Savings Bank do- pfiiits have 10crefcsed about 80 per cent.? trust company funds have ifi- creased about 20 per cent., and total capital seeking safe Investment In New York has about doubled.

It has not helped the wage earner, or the than working upon a salary, nor the man of moderate means Why? Because the banks and trust '•ompanles lend only to their regular customers, and do not, as a rule lend their money on real estate. The Standard Trust Company gives the man of moderate means; the man working upon a salary, the wage earn er, the benefit of the present low rate of Interest, and long time payments. $7.60 per month will net only 5 percent T.
