WEDNESDAY MAY 12, 1886. Quitman County has appointed a Bacon delegation. Prohibition was carried yesterday in Mitchell county by 30 majority. Burke county has appointed a delega tion to the convention instructed for Jinks Jones for Governor. The river and harbor -improvement bill passed the House yesterday. Georgia gets 1410,000 appropriation. Larry Gantt has been pressed to run for Congress, but has declined the use of his name. Larry would make a rattling good Congressman, or anything else. Our good friend Larry Gantt, of the Athens Banner-Watchman, offers for sale a half interest in his successful paper. He has a magnificent territory and a large constituency of readers. He needs aid on his paper on accountof his delicate health. The chance is a fine one for investment. We have received from Mr. John Henry Brown, of Dallas, Texas, a copy of his ad dress to the Texas Veteran Association, at its 13th annual reunion, April 20—21, being the semi centennial anniversary of the battle of San Jacinto, in 1836. , The address is an exceedingly interest ing one, and deals vividly with that mem orable contest and the conditions that lead to it. Attention is being called to the fact that Jeff Davis is vigorous at the age of 78. He has survived all his colleagues in the Senate of 1860 save three, and he has good chances to be the last of that famous body to succumb to the grim reaper. The survivors are R. M. T. Hunter, Simon Cameron and Lyman Trumbull. M ajor Bacon spoke in Augusta last evening in response to a serenade. He discussed Go.don’s candidacy and the issues of the campaighn. We cannot but think the Major makes a mistake in mak ing any comment upon Gordon’s running. It is any man's privilege to offer for place, and in doing so one does not interfere with any other man’s rights. He very prop erly, and as we expected, proposed to conduct a clean canvass. In another column we give a readable sketch of the Rev. Joshua Knowles, of Greensboro, the oldest journalist in the State, who dates back his newspaper w’ork to 1836, just 50 years ago. Mr. Knowles has been an honor to our journalism, an able writer and a pure man. He has been connected with the Rome Courier, Milledgeville Recorder, Macon Messenger. Ho has given us a son who is an honor too to the State pn ss. Long may they both live. The Capitol favors primary elections in the counties as the fairest and best way of getting the public will. With our heavy Democratic majority, a Democratic nomi nation is equivalent to an election. The decisive tight is over the nomination, and the largest expression of the party will is desired, and the primary ballot best gives this. This is our position without regard to its effect upon persons. We look sim ply to the public interest and to securing the popular desire. And beyond this we seek the genuine expression of the patty voice. • A NllUOKNl'lOl't. We observe that several of our State contemporaries, in reporting gubernato rial news, tone their accounts to suit their Bide of the ease, after the customary meth ods of journalism. Brothers, let us have the truth. If the man running on the other side had a good crowd and make an effective speech, so record the result. Don’t say that the gathering was thin and the enthusiasm tame, when the opposite is the truth. Give us facts. Tell the matters as they occur. Let us have an honest deal and a square report. This is The Capitol's programme, and its urges the press to follow the good ex ample. TOO JI US. We have received from the author, and thank him heartily, a copy of an address delivered on Brigadier-General Robert Toombs by Col. Charles C. Jones. Jr., ;.t Augusta April 26, 1886. The address was made la-fore the Confederate Survivors’ Association at its sth annual meeting «n Memorial day. Colonel Jones has made one of his char acteristic address—an ornate, truthful and eloquent effort. It is a discriminating dissection in polished diction of our bril la nt Georgian. CAPITOL CHAYONS. Hr Juki. “The people will always admire the general for his heroism and gallantry during the war. His striking appearance hr reason of the scars received in the defense of his country in the hour of her greatest need, will always make every Southern man feel under the deepest ob ligations to him, bu* when the time comes to THE EVENING CAJ?ITOL: ATLANTA. GA_ WEDNESDAY, MAY 12 WB6 discuss the merits of the different candidutes, the people must remember, that General Gor don has on every occasion when tried, shown an utter want of business capacity. Every enter prise that be has ever managed has been a com plete failure.”—Waynesboro True Citizen. The Georgia Pacific Railroad was not a fail ure. Gen. Gordon put this enterprise on its feet and made a fortune by it. For 30 years the Georgia Pacific languished. It was then known as the Georgia Western. It was the pet hobby of Atlanta. It solved the rich dream of direct ly tapping the Alabama fields of illimitable coal and joining us to the Mississippi. Repeated failures were made in this. But Gordon gave it life. It is stated without contradiction that Gen. Gordon has just succeeded in vitalizing another great railroad enterprise in Florida that gives him fortune. A civilian soldier who entered the war as a Captain and rose to be a Lieutenant General and shared with Lee the closing glory of the war, and a citizen who has made two large for tunes by his own enterprise, is not entitled to the criticism that he has been a complete fail ure in his management. Gordon rose as brilliantly in politics, being elected once Governor and twice United States Senator, and came from his public trusts, poor in a general time of corruption. And even his legitimate pay was reduced by the incessant drafts of old soldiers upon it. Rollicking Fun. Recently the Seventh Regiment of New York visited Washington City and the militant Goth mites sstounded even the unsurprisable folks of the Nstional Capiiol, who are educated up to anything in the way of sensations. It is sol emnly said that Washington never saw fun be fore. The roysterers of the 7th turned things topsy turvy. They ordered up cases of champagne. They threw quarters from the fourth and fifth floors of Willard's and the Ebbitt into Fourteen th street for the mob of bood-blacks to fight over. When they got twenty-five or thirty boys in a struggling mass they threw pitches of wa ter on them, to which the excited urchins paid no more attention than if it was fresh air. About 3 in the morning a few opened their bed-room doors and began to imitate cats. “Moaow” would come from one quarter, an answering “rfleaow" would come from another, and so on until every corridor in the house rang with caterwaulings. After awhile this would die out, to be renewed just as everybody had got to sleep again. In the early evening about forty formed in chain-gang step and inarched up street whistling the time. When they met ladies they woul I halt, and their officer cry out, “one, two, three—bib,” and off would go every cap in a polite bow to the amusement of the lookers-on. When they went down to the train in the streetcars every car load of soldiers shook hands with the driver of the car much to his embarrassment. Their spokesman, the load of twenty or thirty soldiers having formed about the car in a circle, invited the bewildered driver to New York and tendered, in a feeling speech, the freedom of the city to the car driver when he should come. This was done with every car as it deposited its load at Sixth stree. The speech being ended the chorus followed: “One, two, three, George Washing-ton, First in war First in peace and First in the hearts of his countrymen." Then came a break-down of five steps. The effect was tremendous. Coming up the river from Mount Vernon ther organized a ballet, rolling up their white pants about a foot and giving an exhibition of the art that would put the Kiralfys in a fit of envy. Itone mountain. A writer in the DeKalb Chronicle went up Stone Mountain on a picnic. It must have been a charming affair. He enthusiastically tells of the view, how the scenery was enchant ing and lovely. The surrounding country for miles, thickly dotted with farms opened plainly to view. Atlanta was plainly seen, likewise several other towns. When the atmosnhere is clear the mountains of North Georgia are seen distinctly; Kennesaw and Sweat Mountains, in Cobb county; Pine Log Range, in Bartow county; Sharp mountain and its range, includ ing Grassy Knob, stretching through Pickens and Gilmer counties, besides other mountains in the distance. Stone Mountain used to be a place of more attractiveness than at present. Several years ago there was built upon its sum mit a tower 160 feet high. Refreshments of all sorts wore regularly kept, in the base story. The Young Men’s Library. Yesterday Afternoon and evening the direc tors of the Young Men’s Library had their an nual meeting. The new officers are: M. C. Kiser, president; Judge 11. Van Epps, vice president; A. C. Briscol, secretary; W. T. Trumbull, treasurer; new directors, L. DeGive, C. L. Floyd, P. J. Moran, W. M. Slaton. President Walker reported the bonded debt reduced SI,OOO, or to $12,000; membership di minished 100 by cutting off non-paying mem bers. He said they had property worth $40,000 to $45,000: a collection of 12,000 volumes and a good start’. What is needed is revival of inter est, more books and more members. A. C. King, chairman committee, reported that the income of 1886 was $2,431 against $2,- 053 in ISSS; expenses $2,308 iu iSB6 and $3,05l in 1885; books increased 166; expenses diminished $558: income diminished $522, circulation of books in 1886 was 15,117 volumes, in ISSS was 20,098: decreased circulation 4,981 volumes: ratio of reading to membership, 22.5 in 1886; 16.16 in 1885; membership in 1886 was 677; in ISSS was 1.221: in 1881 was 1,107: in 18S3 was 1,194 and in ISB2 w as 857. The committee suggest organizing a regular book fund ami for an annual sum to be paid by the city allow ing the school children access to the library. Warm compliment is paid to Mr. Walker, the retiring president.

The “Baltimore Syndicate" takes this means of informing the public that it has decided in order to meet the wishes of a considerable num ber of persons who hav? heretofore negotiated with the company for the purchase tof homes, to modify the terms of payment so as to bring the purchase of its elegant homes within the reach of a larger number of the people than the terms heretofore established permitted. To this end it now announces that it will sell any of its homes upon the cash payment of SSOO and permit the balance of the purchase money to be paid in monthly instalments. THE BALTIMORE PLACE HOUSES. These elegant residences need not be de scribed in detail. They are so generally well known that to enter into a description of their plan, with the innumerable comforts incident to their construction, their health fulness, compac tion of arrangement, their high temperature in winter and low temperature in summer; the completeness of their sanitary arrangements and the dozen and one features which can alone be appreciated by practical use, to describe which in detail would occupy more space than is necessary or the limits of this communication will permit. It is sufficient to say here that Nos. 9, 11, 13,15, 17 and 19 of the block are for sale. Either of these can be purchased for $3,500 subject to a ground seat of sllO redeemable at any time within a 1000 years. The ground rent system is universal in the North, is the secret of almost every merchant and mechanic owning his home, without which this ownership might be impossible. We prefer to sell in fee. Every purchaser thus far has purchased subject to a ground rent. The fact that he can carry a re deemable ground rent at so low a rate of inter est as 5 per cent, which is all he pays, is the se cret why every one thus far has purchased sub ject to a ground rent. At all events the compa ny will sell either in fee orotherwisejustasthe purchaser may desire. Now a few words about the business part of the transaction. The com pany will sell any of the houses above mentioned for $3,500, subject to a ground rent of sllO per annum. It will take SSOO cash, and will allow the remaing $3,000 to be paid in monthly instal ments of S4O, with six per cent interest on the deferred payments, interest ceasing on each payment as made. It will take, say, seventy two months, or just six years to pay off the bal ance of purchase money at S4O per month. Now let us see what the total annual charges are: Twelve monthly payments *4BO One year’s ground rent 110 “ average interest 90 “ tax 72 “ Insurance 5 Total for one year*7s7 It will be observed that every charge of every kind is included in the above. Now let us see for a moment what the actual strain is on the purchaser, and that after all is the tiue and proper test which one must apply to himself in testing his or her ability to pur chase. We have seen that the total annual charges of every kind and character aggregate per annum $757, or $63 per month. Now the purchaser during the time that he is making these payments and securing his invest ment is at the same time securing its fruits, for he is Occupying the house and thus saving the rent that he would otherwise pay. Now put ting the rental value of these houses at $45 per month (and they are generally conceded to be worth SSO) he ought, injustice to his purchase, deduct the rental value from the total annual charges, for until he owns his home, the rental value should be deducted. The calculation would accordingly stand thus: Total annual charge* 757 00 Annual (rental value 540 00 Annual attain on purchaser 317 00 It will thus be seen that the annual strain on the resources of the purchaser are just $217 or SIB.OO per month. In other words, the purchaser of one of these houses as compared to a tenant paying $45 per month rent is just SIB.OB per month more to pay than the tenant, and in consideration of said payment the purchaser gets back every month S4O clean and clear as a credit on bis bal ance as purchase money. He pays SIB.OB a month more, and at the end of six years has bis home, whereas the tenant, as above illustrated, has just exactly seventy-two rent receipts, and liable tn be kicked out if he should fail to pay the seventy-third. Let us now go a step farther and FIND OUT WHAT THE HOUSE ACTUALLY COSTS the purchaser. His first payment was* 500 Six years, *217 each 1,302 Total cost*l,Bo2 These figures may seem remarkable and their accuracy may perhaps be doubted by some. It is sufficient to say in reply, that the company is prepared to. guarantee their correctness. It will thus be seen, that the people of Atlan ta have here presented an opportunity of which it may truly be said is unprecedented in any city in this country. There is no clap trap about this announcement. The figures are given and their accuracy guaranteed by a com pany of responsibility. Bring your architect with you and let him aid you in making an inspection of the property and ask him for an honest dispassionate judg ment. Ask him what it would cost you to du plicate the house, in hard cash. And after you have asked him these questions and have re ceived a satisfactory answer, then go and ask snch well known and respected citizens as Dr. Brockett, Colonel Goldsmith, A. }’. Tripod. Col. Avery, I. C Bandmann, Capt. Rust, all of whom have lived in the res pective houses which they have purchased, from two to eleven months, and ask them and their wives and their visiting relatives and triends whether they are delighted with their purchases. The writer is sure that there is not one but what is charmed with his purchase. Ask them what temperature they experienced last summer, and they will be apt to tell you that their homes were charmingly cool. Ask them whether they suffered from the severe cold of the past winter, and they will tell you that, if anything, their houses were at times too warm. In brief, ask them, if you choose, whether you ought to buy or not, and act accord ingly. SPRING STREET OR “PARK PLACE” HOUSES. Th. re are six houses left for sale on Spring street: No. 1 has been sold to Miss Hanna; No. 5 to Wm. A. Wimbish; No. 7 to Janies A. Gray; No. 13 to Mrs. Fannie McCandless. Nos. 3, 11, 15, 17 and 10 are still for sale. These houses will be sold for $2,350, ground rent S9O, redeemable at any time. SSOO cash, balance in monthly payments of S3O. Total annual char ges: Twelve monthly payments*36o (X> Ground r 11 txi OO Average interest 63 60 Tax 33 75 Insurance 4 50 Total annual charge *543 75 Or about *45 per month. No one who has seen these homes will hesitate to admit that they are cheap at S3O per month rent. Assuming this to be true the actual cost of the house would be ak follows: Total annual chargess 64.3 75 Annual reu al value 360.00 Annua', strain ... * 183.75 As it will take a little less than 62 months to pay off the balence of purchase money, the ac count will stand like this: (.’ash payment . * 500.00 *183.73 per year lor 5 years and 2 months.... *49.37 Total cost ot house *1,449.37 These figures must be their own demonstra tion. It would be downright supererogation to attempt to give them additional fore, by fur ther argument or illustration. The man who can’t, after due reflection, un derstand their force and potency ought not to bother his brain about buying a home, but ought to continue as a tenant. The company hopes after having mads these conces sions, tobe aldo to at once dispose ot its remaining houses. In two or thrve years they w ill doubtless be worth hall again as much. Every indication shows that these house- are situated iu the coming residence sec tion ot the city. No portion of the city has such a beautiful prospect before it. '.V het her there be any ad vance or not, there will surely be no retrogression. So that a purchaser not only secures a home tor his family tn away that can hardly strain bis resources, but bis has in addition an incentive to save, conpled with the tact that bets stx-uring ar. investment which affords him every reasonable expectation that after it is otee paid for it will be worth more than the original purchase money, to say nothing ot the years of rent that he has saved to himself and family.

The recent retirement of Mr. C. W. Hancock from the Sumter Republican revives the ques tion as to who is now the senior of the fourth estate in Georgia. The venerable and worthy senior of the Madisonian, Dr. J. C. Blackburn, who is by no means a juvenile (after mentioning Mr. Martin of the Rome Courier and Mr. Burke of the Wesleyan Christian Advocate) as among the aged and illustrious knights of tbe pen and scissors, names Mr. Joshua Knowles, who now assists in conducting the Sunday department of the Georgia Home Journal, as the oldest edi tors in Georgia, not in the South, though not perhaps continuously so long associated with journalism as Mr. Hancock. We were shown the other day a substantially bound volume of the Florida Watchman, pub lished in Tallahassee, Fla., at th? opening of the Seminole war. In its issue of November 10, 1836, we find within its large and handsomely Stinted pages the following transcript of Mr. inowles’ salutatory : ’ “We lay before the public this week the first number of the Florida Watchman. In assuming the management of a public journal we are not altogether unapprised of the weight of responsi bility we assume and the difficulties that lie before us. We enter, however, cheerfully upon our task and hope by an honest adherence to sound principles and a faithful and dispassionate advocate of important measures to render the Watchman worthy the esteem and patronage of an enlightened public; and we are ready to be lieve from the liberal spirit already evinced that our paper will be blest with a long and use ful life. “We would here remark that the Watchman belongs to no political party or’eligious denom ination, but to the individual whose name ap pears as editor. It is to be devoted to the in terests of the people —a vehicle of general in telligence; giving a faithful record of passing events, and informing the public upon all sub jects involving their interests. “Its columns will always be open to such es says and discussions as may interest and in struct; of course reserving to ourselves the pre rogative of publishing or withholding, as we may think best. All controversial communica tions on religious on religious topics will be in discriminately excluded.” In after years Mr. Knowles became the editor and proprietor of the Rome Conner; then, upon the retirement of Hon. Miller Grieve as editor of the Southern Recorder, the central organ of the Whig party in Georgia, he became copro prielor and editor of that popular journal, and subsequently of the Georgia Journal and Mes senger, at ’Macon, which position he occupied until near the close of the war. Last, though not least, in 1872, he established the Georgia Home Journal iu Greenesboio, now owned and managed by his son, Mr. W. Addison Knowles. We must not omit to remind the reader, also, that Mr. Knowles was editor of the “Educa tional Repository and Family Monthly,” the organ of the Southern Teachers’ Institute, and issued in Atlanta under the auspices of a pub lishing board, of which Rev, Dr. Means, of Ox ford, was president, and Greene B. Haygood, Esq., father of Rev. Dr. Atticus Haygood, was secretary and treasurer. This periodical had a gifted corps of contributors, and during its brief existence made a fine reputation at home and abroad —but, like many other good things, it perished in the first year of the late war. Mr. Knowfes was chief secretary of the con vention which formed the first Constitution of Florida, in 1838-9, also a member of the legisla ture of 1842. It is notable that the same sentiments and rule of editorial conduct enunciated by Mr. Knowles in the first number of tbe Florida Watchman, half a century ag >, should be the guiding star of the pet of his son, which, by a pleasant coincidence has for its motto —“Devo- ted to the general welfare of the people.” OUR GEORGIA EDITORS.
