There is no manner of doubt but that they have the ideal plan for a man in ordinary circumstances who wishes to obtain a home for his family In tho easiest possible way. Any man who really wants a home and is willing to make little effort In order to obtain one will do well to get the co-operation of this groat company. He has noth ing to lose and all to gain.

I have on several occasions endeavored to a&eic,t in the sale ot bonds of street railway properties in cities of about the si>:e of Waycross, aiih I havo never yet been able to find a banker or investor who is will ing to buy thorn. Their invariable re ply is that the town Is too small. A street railway in Waycross will moan a great deal to the city and citir 311s of-Wnycross. ft will add very large ly to the values of ail the lands with in reach ot servicS by the street rail road; it will vastly increase thcr^ax- able values of the properties; It will , be of enormous advertising value to j Waycross as a city as a whole and will Increase its' prestige and hav. j wondorful Influence on Ha present J standing and future growth. I On the other hand, tho people who j build it aro taking a great deal ct ! risk and if It should prove profitable they ought to be entitled to that profit. When your street railroad has once boen built there Is no pro vision in law for you to abandon it, you have got to continue to operate it, whether it U profitable or not.; Telegraph last week, 2G were for j protect its contract-holders which “Little Jco" Brown for Governor, 17 J makes them absolutely safe, and there were non-committal, 0 wore for Pope j a great many people securing Brown and none was for Russell, homes each month through this plan.

I don’t see how you can expect to pay tho percentage of gross receipts referred to In your letter! 1 woi'u consider such a requirement prohibi tive. Any restrlctlona In your fran chise are apt to prevent you r obtain ing the money to build it and any are to be deducted all licenses, fran chise tsx by or on account of tho city and other similar charges. This agreement was made th the year 1902 at which time Atlanta bad a popula tion of approximately one bundrou thousand Inhabltalnta. Up to 1902 the etreet railways in Atlanta paid no »uch percentage whatever.
