The 'Capitol is in favor of the majority

It is now stated that Miss Folsom, the

the report is true.
Mr. Clements, the Congressman from
the 7th District, is now in Georgia. He

ought to be renominated.
The people of Eatonton and Putnam

Senator Kenma has declined the chair
manship of the Congressional Campaign
Democratic Committee. His ostensible
reason is that his law paactice will not
permit. We do not care to go behind his
avowed reason to hunt up some hidden
political motive that if true, means injury
to the democracy. We prefer to take
him at his word.
Surely the papers that continue to
howl about the Atlanta ring do not reflect
upon their gross inconsistency in charging
“ring,” when the alleged ring seeks the
amplest expression of public sentiment.
This stereotyped cry of “ring” loses its
significance in the fact that the so-called
ring urges the only method of getting the
popular will, while its accusers oppose it.
The contest for Congress between Mr.
McArthur and Mr. Crisp, the present
Congressman, is getting to be warm
enough. McArthur has the Americus Re
publican in Mr. Crisp’s own town.
It is specifically charged that Mr. Crisp
aligned himself with the Loyal League in
1868, and in consequence was defeated for
ordinary in Schley county in that year.
This charge will show the bitter ten
dency of the contest.
THE OHAIKiE OF CAKiE.
A great movement in the railroads is at
hand. This is the change of guage of
13,000 miles of track.
The change is only an inch or two, but
it involves an enormous employment of
labor and a large expense. And the
preparation for it has been lonjf and
Blow.
The meeting to arrange it was held in
Atlanta, February 2d of this year. The
31st of May and Ist of June are the days
selected for the alteration. The exact
number of miles to be changed is 13,12,%
made up as follows : South Carolina 1,-
320 miles, North Carolina 960, Georgia
2,418, Florida 1,250, Alabama 1,803, Mis
sissippi 776, Louisiana 313, Kentucky
1,118, Tennessee 1,886, and Virginia 9SI
miles.
Only one rail is to be moved. The ties
have to be leveled for the rail, and the
spikes taken out and the rail moved to
the proper distance. It will take three
men to the mile, who will do the work
between 3 :36 a. in. and 4 p. in.
The rolling stock have been altered in
the shops.
THK CAMPaTuN.
lien. Gordon yesterday spoke at Hart
well and Carnesville. At Hart well he ev
idently made a tine impression. The
crowd was polled and stood 125 for Gor
don to 25 to Bacon. A significant inci
dent was that the Haitwell Sun, that has
declared for Bacon, has announced that
unless Major Baeou can show that Gordon
has falsified him, it will support General
Gordon.
The Democratic Executive Committee
of Hart county has postponed the meeting
to select delegates for the first Tuesday in
July, This would seem to be indicative
of alarm on the part ot the Bacon men,
who have heretofore considered the coun
ty safe for Bacon.
General Gordon spoke at Carnesville,
and had ovations at Bowersville and Bu
ford.
Major Bacon has not resumed the can
vass yet, but will soon, it is stated, follow
after Gordon. We rather doubt the good
policy of so soon going in Gordon’s wake,
as the farmers are busy now, and it will
be difficult to get them out at such short
intervals.
CAPITOL CRAYONS.
The Way.
Two mon, whose names are given, polled the
voters on Main atreet. in the town of Senoia,
and found 61 for Gordon and 5 for Bacon. They
give the names of the voters. This is the way
to do. There is something practical and accur
ate in this. Tai Capitol wants the facts, and
not fantastic exaggerations and wholesale sup
positions.
Op the five large cities Bacon will get Au
gusta, Savannah and Macon; Gordon will get
Atlanta, and Columbus is now doubtful.
Col. R. G. Mitchell, of Thomas county, the
Solicitor General of that Judical Circuit, has
declared himself a candidate for Congress.
The Louisville Courier-Journal speaks of the
Hale collection of Etchings now on exhibition
in that city. There are fully 500 proofs of the
best eteners.
The editor had a pleasant call from Mr. Mark
L. Whitman, of West Point. Mr. Whitman
was a gallant soldier in the war and a member
of the editor’s old cavalry regiment during the
struggle. It recalled the stirring duye of strife
to renew acquaintance with the brave horseman.
We hear a great deal of comment throughout
the city over The Capitol’s timely article on
the early closing of stores that employ lady
clerks as well as thpse that employ gentlemen.
It is worthy of comment and the universal de
sire of the best people seems to be in favor of
tbe movement.
Mr. J. W. Bigsby, one of the proprietors of
the Baltimore Manufacturers* Record, has just
made a flying trip to Anniston Alabama, pass
ing through and stopping a short time in At
lanta both ways. He spent yesterday in the
city. Mr. Bigsbv is a pleasant gentleman and
his paper has an extraordinary hold upon the
people of the South. The Manufacturers’ Re
cord has made a specialty of noting Southern
industrial progress, and the value and accuracy
of its labors can neither be estimated nor prop
erly appreciated. The whole South owes a
deep debt of gratitude to this paper that it can.

THB EVENING CAPITOL: ATLANTA. GA.. FRIDAY, MIY 28, <BB6
Important Announcement to the
public.
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 have heretofore negotiated
with the company for tbe purchase of homes, to
modify the terms of payment so as to bring the
purchase of its elegant hornet) within tbe 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
aud 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 percent, 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 or otherwise justas the
purchaser may desire. Now a few words about
tba 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 S4BO
One year’s ground rent 110
“ average interest 90
“ tax 72
“ insurance 5
Total for one years7s7
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 true 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) be ought, injustice to his purchase,
deduct the rental value from the total annual
charges, for until he owns his home, tbe rental
value should be deducted.
Tbe calculation weuld accordingly stand
thus:
Total annual charges 757 00
Annual genial value 640 00
Annual strain on nurchaser 217 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 his bal
ance as purchase money.
He pays SIB.OB a month more, and at the end of
six years has his home, whereas the tenant, as
above illustrated, has just exactly seventy-two
rent receipts, and liable to be kicked out if he
should fail to pay the seventy-third. Let us
now go a step farther and
FIND OUT WHAT THK HOUSK ACTUALLY COSTS
the purchaser.
Hlh lirst payment wass 500
Six years, $217 each 1,302
Total costsl,Bo2
These figures may seem remarkable and their
accuracy may perhaps be doubted by some. It
is sufficient to say in leply, 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 yon
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. P. 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
friends 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 “FARE PLACE” HOUSES.
There 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 James 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 paymentss36o OO
Ground rent 90 00
Average interest 55 50
Tax X 4 75
Insurance 4 50
Total annual chargess*3 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 tbe actual cost of
the house would be as follows:
Total annual chargess 543.75
Annual rental value 360.00
Annual 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:
Cash payment $ 500.00
$183.75 per year lor 5 years and 2 months.... 949.37
Total cost of housesl.449 37
These figures must be their own demonstra
tion. It would be downright supererogation to
attempt to give them additional force 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 conipsny hopes, after having made these conces
sions. to be able to at once dispose ot its remaining
houses. In tw o or three years they will doubtless be
worth halt again as much. Every indication shows that
these houses are situated in the coming residence sec
tion of the city. No portion ot the city has such a
beautiful prospect before U. Whether there be any ad
vance or not, there will rarely be no reirogmsion* So
that a purchaser not only secures a home tor his family

has In addition an incentive to save, conpled with the
tact that he is securing an investment which affords him
every reasonable expectation that after it Is ocee paid

The Secend Game,
The Atlantas again took the game yesterday
from Augusta.
But she won it only by a hard struggle and a
closely contested game.
During the first two innings Atlanta had en
her batting clothes and pounded away for dear
life; sto 3 was the result. After that she did
not seem to care so much for batting and seemed
to simply keep Augusta from making any.
Augusta struggled hard, but the ball was lag
gard and would not go «ut far enough. At
times it looked as if she would come up all right
but the fates were against them and they were
left badly.
The following is the score:

HOME RUNS.
The practice of the scorer putting small, infe
rior ciphers after the visiting club is a repre
hensible one and should be speedily stopped.
The fly caught by the visitor in the left gal-'
lery was a good one.
The Augustas play a good game.
Augusta seamed nervous.
Atlanta seems to be invincible.
Purcell has now gotten his men well together.
There is but little difference between the sizes
and physiques of the Atlantas and Augustas.
Atlanta does fine coaching now-a-days.
There was a fair crowd, but some judicious
advertising would increase it very materially.
It seems grange that they should so neglect
this greaFhelp.
The game was a thrilling one.
Augusta plays a strong game, but Atlanta
leads her at the bat.
The crowd outside the grounds is about as
large as that inside and they get a good view of
the game free.
Shaffer is a treasure.
Augusta needs better coaching.
Tbe sun unusually hot.
Tbe grounds were in fine condition.
The umpire stopped the game for a minute to
borrow a chew of tobacco from Stricker.
Atlanta is hanging well to the top round.
What has become of yerf eh!l hoolll
Purcell put in a home run on the ninth inning
just for fun as it were.
The street-car tracks should be extended to
the tracks and beyond, so that people can be left
it the gate and be taken up at the same place.
The small boys flock into the grounds after
the game like sheep.
The colored people do not come out in very
large numbers.
The lawn tennis grounds at Peters park, near
the ball ground, are filled with players every
afternoon.
The game had no special features.
Augusta vs. Atlanta.
The management should do something to
wards making the seats in the grand stand more
comfortable, if they expect ladifis to go out
much. As they are now, they are very tire
some. A free pass to one or two small boys
would get them to dust off the seats and have
them clean.

The Strawberry crop of this year (1886) sold
in the field on the vines for $1,500 to a purchaser
in Atlanta, who made a good profit en that price.
The crop of next year will be even more valua
ble.
The yield of the 3,000 Bearing Grape Vines
this year is estimated to be worth SI,OOO, and
the vines have just begun to bear. Every year
this Vineyard of five acres will become more
and more valuable, and it alone will pay a good
income on the sum for which this whole farm
can be bought.
Tho Truck from this place will also bring in a
good income, to say nothing of the Peaches,
Tears, Apples, Plums and other fruits. If a
few acres were planted in Raspberries, which
ripen just as the Strawberries aro gone, this
would be another source of revenue, and pay
quite as well as the Strawberry crop.
With a soil already rich, and which has a clay
foundation, holding all the fertilizers used, this
farm ot AB}fi acres, only miles from the city,
on a great thoroughfare and excellent road, in'a
fine neighborhood of good, thrifty white people,
would soon become a real Bonanza to an ener
getic, capable man.
It will be sold on the most liberal terms : one
third cash, the balance in one, two and three
years, with 8 per cent, interest. The price is
very low.

Inflammatory Hheumatism-->State
nieiil of Kev. J. M. Lowry.
For over two years I suffered intensely
with muscular rheumatism. I became al
most helpless, and had to be helped in
and out of bed. At times I was unable to
turn myself in bed, and had to be han
dled as tenderly as an infant. My chest,
as well as my limbs, was involved, and
the pain was intolerable at times. All
the old and well-known remedies were ex
hausted, but no permanent relief was ob
tained. I was compelled to abandon my
ministerial duties, being a member of the
North Georgia Conference of the M. E.
Church South. About a year ago I was
induced by a friend to try Swift’s Specific.
The effect has been magical. My friends
scarcely recognize me. My rheumatism
is entirely gone, my general health is
superb, and I am weighing thirty pounds
more than when I commenced taking S.
S. S. lam able to attend to all my min-

my restoration to health, which I owe,

SOMETHING WORTH ATTENTION.
A Visit te tiie Establishment of J. C.
Peck, on Collins Street.
Yesterday a reporter was taking the rounds
and was going out Collins street when his at
tention was suddenly attracted by the buzzing
of saws, rackets of plainers and the running of
machinery. This was going on in
a very large- brick building and as the whole
thing was somewhat new to the reporter he
went in and began to look around. After a mo
ment the venerable Mr. J. C. Peck came around
and asked the scribe to look through with him
and the invitation was accepted. He found a
number of skillful workmen busy making doors,
windows, blinds, newells, etc., of the veiy finest
and costliest kind. The doors were made by
glueing inch plank together. Evorv other strip
then in the door was of a different kind of wood.
These strips were of nearly every kind, such as
oak, walnut, ask, cherry, hickory, pine, and
very nearly all other kind imaginable.
Mr. Peck has a new process of kiln drying all
wood after it has been dressed. This insures
no warping after it leaves tbe shop.
He has the most complete assortment of lum
ber that we have seen for a long time. He bas
just got in a large lot. He has a new lot of ma
chinery. This establishment is new, but Mr.
Peck has been in the business for more than 29
years, and his long experience insures good and
prompt work.
The reporter leit with the convictions that he
had seen there at No. 40 Collins street, some
thing new and of great credit to the city.
