2 AFTER JOEL HURTS LINES. ATLANTA’S “OENEHAI. ORDIXASCE - ’ MADE TO APPLY TO THEM. His Company May HnveMo Give l p Per Cent, of I( firm’ Receipts. Claimed the Atlnntie Knllwny an.l Power Company Become Subject to the Ordinance —Council Adopted It* Committee's Heport and AMU Try to ( olloct. Atlanta, Aug. 22.-Street railway mat ters, which have been ag tatiner the city for many months, took a >ent<ational tarn to-day when tho City Council Committee on Electric and Other Railways. brought in a report declaring that, because of cer tain recent of the Allnnta Railway nd Power Company, that corporation has placed itself under the terms of the “gen era! ordinance,” adopted by Council last summer. The chief feature of this ordinance :s a section requiring the company operat ing under it to pay annually into tho city treasury, not less than 5 per cent, or its gross receipts. When the Atlanta Railway and Power Company becomes eubjcct to the ordinance, by the same terms, ©ll other street railway lines in Atlanta must begin to pay the same tax. It is estimated the sum that Atlanta will derive from this source will be $35,000 to , $40,000 per annum for public schools, and public improvements. The liability began, It is claimed, last June. “The company put in a switch at the corner of Capitol avenue nnd Geor gia avenue, connecting two lines and ex tending the route of the Capitol Avenue line to Grant Park,” said the committee. "At the same time the company con structed a track on Georgia avenue, be tween Capitol avenue and Martin street, four blocks, making the line at that point a double track system. This clearly puts them under the provisions of the general ordinance.” Council adopted the report of the com mittee, and will proceed to try to collect 5 per cent, of the gross receipts of *he Joel Hurt lines. This is regarded ae the 1 most important move yet in the great street railway fight. CALLED I\ THE BUTTONS. Col, Obear Preparing a List of Line Oflieei'N to Show Rank. Atlanta, Aug. 22.—A recent order of the adjutant general requires the captains of each company to collect and return the United States buttons, with which the present militia uniforms were furnished when issued.

Inspector General Obear is preparing a list of militia officers, giving iheir relative rank. The completion of this will dispose of the misunders and ng This is for lino officers only, as the relative rank of field officers was given out -ome time ago and is known.

Greatest in Property Values Report ed in Many Year*, Atlanta, Aug. 22 —The total increase in the tax returns of Georgia so far receiv ed. Including the state assessment of the railroads, amounts to $19,0f.0,000, the great est increase “that has been reported In property values in many years. Five counties are yet to send in their digests, and an increase of several hun dred thousand dollars is expected from them. If the assessment on the Savannah, Florida and Western and the debentures of thf> Atlanta and West Toint Railroad held by the Georgia Railroad, can be maintained, it is believed by Controller General Wright that the increase will amount to $21,000,000. The assessment on the Savannah. Florida and Western is 9757,148, and that on the Atlanta and West Point debentures is $388,900, which will in crease the returns over $1,000,000. The tax rate for the next year cannot be determined until arbitrators, Hons. Pop© Brown and Pope Harrow, settle the differences between the state and the Plant System. The counties not ye* heard from are Bartow’, Llberiy, Lee, Dooley and Telfair. WILL BE INVESTIGATED. Prison Commission Will Look Info Convict Ward's Death.

Mr. Hanley: * Dear SJr—l was told by my doctor last March that, after an examination, that I was far gone with consumption, and he told me he had very little hopes for me. 1 was very sick; could hardly retain any thing in my stomach, and was very nerv ous and weak. I was induced to go down to Suwanee Springs. 1 was not down there a week when tho intense pain I had In my right lung entirely left me. which enabled me to lay on my back and right side, which I had not been able to do in months. I entirely got rid of a slow fe ver I used to have, and after three weeks 1 was able to eat anything and every i thing. And after seven weeks I can can didly say that I felt as well as I ever felt in my life. Since coming home 1 feel just as well, and I can truthfully say that Suwanee Springs has saved my life. Y'ou may publish this, so that it may benefit someone else afflicted as I was. My friend* are many and will bear wlt ' neVs with me, how I was before I went to I Suwanee Springs and how I am at pro*, enl. Wishing you and all who go to Su wanee success.
