Addroaa, THE EVENING CAPITOL, 488. Broad St., Atlanta, Ga. Telephone No. 445. C taa. 8. Atwood, I. W. Avaar, Pree’t. A Bns. Mang'r. Editorial Mang’r. entered at Atlanta P. 0. as second-class matter. Oregon has gone Democratic by heavy gains. The Catholics in Belgium have gained 11 new seats in the Chamber of Deputies. Galveston, Texas, offers $12,000 of prizes for the inter-State drill in August. The latest society entertainment is dubbed an "Early,” anti runs from 4 to 7 p. m. It looks as if the Panama ditch must go up. It has cost 150 millions and is only one-seventh done. The Rome Courier very kindly says that The Capitol is "by far the most reliable political paper in Atlanta.” The Macon Telegraph says that Bacon has gained 8 votes that were against him in his last gubernatorial contests. It is thought that the successor of Mr. Manning, the Secretary of the Treasury, will be Ex-Senator Henry G. Davis. Why try to explain results incorrectly? Better admit the truth. The Telegraph ascribes Gordon's victory in Fulton to money and patronage. The county was naturally Gordon’s, as Bibb was Bacon’s, and that is all there is in it. A Colorado Congressmen, Mr. Hep burn, said a sharp thing about Wheeler’s Speech on Stanton, when he declared that he was unwilling to put an indignity on a man who at most had only violated the good faith of history and possibly of truth, but none of the rules of the House. A Washington correspondent of the Courier-Journal says that discontent among Democratic Congressmen in both branches with the indifference of the President to party interests is on the in crease. This fact is made manifest in many ways, but in none more noticeably and unerringly than by the conversation of the wives of the Democratic Senators and Representatives. ATLAM AW vu alitv. Looking over an old number of Har per’s Magazine—December, 1875 —we came across quite an interesting sketch of Atlanta by Earnest Ingersoll. That article recalls some vivid incidents of our vital town. One building,it states, in 1885, of all the commercial part of the place, survived the flames. One of the first men to return was Ben E. Crane. He secured a cellar under the sole building on Alabama street, paying $l5O a month for its use, and began the produce and grocery trade, increasing his income by renting ground privileges of a few feet square on ids sidewalk at S2O a month each. Soon the owner of a corner on White hall street built a brick building with two store rooms. Mr. Crane and another moved in paying $3,000 a year each, and giving half of it in advance, inorder to aid the proprietor to go on with his construc tion. The accommodations that rented in 1806 for $6,000, rented in 1870 for $1,500. The record of these days reads like a business romance. The dry goods men who have since become merchant princes with their half a million of retail trade, l>egan, says that writer in a modest way, and “bought thkik goods tied it in a blanket almost.” It was found that our dry, equable cli mate is suited for keeping tobacco, and the city has become a great tobacco mart. The use of fertilizers has made the section around a great cotton-raising region, and so we must become a large cotton and guano entrepot. What is the up-shot of all this? What is the lesson? Why that our manifest destiny is to go forward— that the croakers must dry up, and that the same resources and agencies that have raised the city from the ashes and im pelled her to her present marvellous ad vancement will carry her onward irresist ibly. ' ATI. ANTA. That careful and candid gentleman, Mr. Sam Inman, was written to by the prohi bition committee of Charlotte for informa tion as to business being demoralized and property depreciated in Atlanta by prohi bition. Mr. Inman says that he has conversed with many merchants and thinks that three-fourths of the firms in the city will say that the trade of Atlanta is better than it has been at this time in years. And this is true in spite of the important fact that the country is buying less grain and provisions than for years on account of the abundant home supply. Mr. Inman sent out one of his young men to count the number of stores and note ths vacant ones in the entire central part of Atlanta. He found 715 stores by count, and only 31 good stores and 9 shops or cellar rooms vacant, making a total of 40. Os the 40, there were 10 recently finished and 16 un desirable localities. Mr. Inman thinks that Atlanta is to-day one of the most prosperous and promising cities in the Union. THE CAMPAIGN. Bacon carried McDuffie county yester day. This gives him 16 counties and 40 votes. Gordon carried Fulton yesterday. This gives him 13 counties and 32 votes. Bacon is ahead 3 counties and 8 votes. (ieneral Gordon spoke at Crawfordsville, and Major Bacon spoke at Waycross in the morning and at Blackshear in the afternoon. The information comes from the papers that each gentleman will carry the county where he spoke. This is the stereotyped commentary of the organs, anil is expect ed as a matter of course. The correspond ents feel bound to whoop things up on their side by this claim. The Capitol offers a reward for the paper that will state that its candidate spoke in any county without expressing the confident knowledge that he will sweep a victory. CAPITOL CRAYONS. Tri lyric, “The man of the 12th of May,” is a ringing one. Miss Robe Cleveland, the President’s sis ter, has received $12,000 froir the sale of her book, t.nd gets an income ofs7s a month from it. The secretary es the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Miss Missouri 11. Stokes, places that society right on the woman suffrage question in our columns to-day. Larky Gantt, a Bacon man, gives evidence of his candor, when he says that after two days stay in Greene county, he believes that Greene will go for Gordon. Larry will state facts as he sees them, and he owes his influence to his courageous candor. Madame Janaubchex, the great tragedienne curiously illustrates the ups and downs of for tune. She at one time was worth half a million. But in the last few years she has not been suc cessful, and has lost her fortune until she is almost penniless. She is out of debt and it is said will make a last effort. Technological education. We bad not the space yesterday to speak as fully as we desired of the technological examin ations of the Colored Atlanta University. Withont undervaluing the literary course, we frankly state that the technological features of this institution are its most valuable ones. And we are equally frank to say that these features present something for general imitation in all our seminaries of learning, both white and col ored. Hewing and cooking are taught the females, and the specimen of work shown demonstrated the care of the teacher and the application of the pupil. Garments of every kind, cut and made by the pupils, were exhibited, while the cooked food, the bread, cakes and pastry wore good. The males showed excellent instruction in farming, gardening and the use of tools. Mr. Sessions taught the former and Mr. Turner the tool work. The display of products included flO kinds of grasses, corn, oats, rye, barley, sugar cane, fruits, vegetables of all kinds, clover, etc. The work with wood tools was gratifying. Forty young men showed a remarkable profi ciency in their use, and displayed specimens of their skill. A variety of articles made by them was on exhibition. The boys showed also a fine knowledge of using turning lathes. This is on the right line, and should be widened. It is proposed to add a printing es tablishment to teach the boys about type. The ooard of visitors was greatly interested in this feature of the callege. We repeat that the experiment is a most in teresting oue and presents the solution of the best practicsl education. rippinc*tt’* Monthly Mngazine. The June number of Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine is largely devoted to the labor ques tion. Mr. Fred Perry Powers foresees the con ing of “The Industrial Republic,” under which the laboring classes will get a larger share of the fruits of their labor than they do now. “We shall gradually alter our industrial organiza tion,” he concludes, till in the coursa of years, we shall find we are living in an industrial re public, having in the period of transition got rid of a great deal of economic rubbish, just as our ancestors got rid of a good deal of political rubbish.” To the Experience Meeting, Martin Irons contributes an autobiographical sketch, “My Experiences in the Labor Movement,” written with a frankness aud sincerity which make it very entertaining. “Some Experiences of a Working Girl,” another article in the same de partment, is a powerful and pathetic appeal on behalf of tbs ill-paid factory girls, by one who has seen and suffered the wretchedness she commiserates. “The experiences of a Street- Car Conductor," is noteworthy from the fact that the writer finds nothing to complain of in his position, but con trasts it favorably with the lot of thousands of his fellow beings. Under the bead of “A Plea for the Spoils System,” George Walton Green gives an amusing burlesque of the reasonings of the average political “war-horse” against civil service reform. “John Tumor's Inven tion" is a capital sensation story of the Hngh Conway type. There is some excellent poetry. In the Monthly Cossip, W. H. Babcock’s ad vances startling views on the Mormon question, and there are other bright discussions of ciFr rent topics. A Divoratly of Pnromita. Cities having the greateat diversity of pur suits or interests are the most proaporous. The community that comes the nearest sup plying all ita wants is the most independent. Without a diversity of interests and pursuits they are necessarily dependent upon others, not only for luxuries but for many of the actual necessities es lite. With their investments and interests all in one direction, thep are kept comparatively poor by a constant, never-ending drain upoa that one interest. If the one interest fails, or proves unprofita ble. all fails. They have nothing to fall back upon. A diversity of pursuita neceaaarily carries a wide production of now values. It is a common sense business policy that never fails to enrich .those wise enough to adopt it, aad never fails to keep in comparative poverty those who reject it. THB EVENING CAPITOL: ATLANTA. GA. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 1886 Its adoption is political economy reduced to practice in business, in every-day life. Its rejectton or neglect, is the violation of a natural law that never fails to punish the offen der. Let us illustrate our position. A striking ex ample of the wonderful prosperity which never fails to follow a diversity of pursuits may be seen in the case of the eastern, middle and older western States. They diversify in its broad est sense. The unwise, dependent and costly policy of concentrating all investments, or practically so, in one interest, is strikingly illustrated by the Southern States. We do not diversify. We “put all our eggs >n one basket,” sell only one product, and with the scant proceeds buy lux uries and necessaries as far as our money goes, and the balance on a credit. Our policy, saves at the spigot, and pours at the bung.” We persist in concentrating, and remain poor and dependent. They reverse this rule, and grow rich at our expense. In 1880 the value of manufactures produced in the city of New York was $472,000,000. In 1880 the manufactures of the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor gia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Kentucky, amounted to $316,000,000. New York City employed 227,000 hands, and paid $97,000,000 in wages. The twelve Southern States named, employed 204,000 hands; wages paid, $48,000,000. A difference in favor of New York city of $157,000,000 in value of manufactures, 23,000 in number of hands employed, and $49,000,000 in wages paid. New York city produced an average of $2,078 per hand, the twelve Southern States, $1,549 per hand, a difference of $529 per capita in fa vor of New York city. Average wages per annum for New York city $471, and for the 12 States, $235. But the main point which we desire to im press upon the reader is the amazing fact that one Northern city produces $157,000,000 more of new values in the form of manufactories in one year, than 12 Southern States. It requires no labored argument to show that the diversity of Pursuits so wisely adopted, and so energetically pursued by New York city, is enriching her at our exnense. The remarkable growth of the city of New York in wealth and commercial power, dates from the time in which she engaged largely in manufactures, in the production of new values. Modern cities, especially interior ones, cannot be built and maintained a growing, prosperous condition, upon the jobbing of imported values. If they would place their commerce upon a solid foundation, they must diversify their interests, they must create new values, and wherever their manufactures And a market, their commerce will surely follow. Permanent prosperity cannot be maintained In the traflic of imported values. The out-go is larger than the income. It is a policy that pulls down faster than it builds up. The dominance of the city of New York in commerce and wealth, is due to the hundreds of millions created by her manufacturers. The withdrawal of this great interest would bankrupt her, even withall her fabulous wealth. We will have more to say on this subject.

The Thomasville Times seems to take great comfort from the fact that Georgia will soon commence shipping "the green watermillion” Northward. The aches and pains which this deceitful fruit car ries with it are regarded rather as a provi dential recompense for the wrongs the South has endured. 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 the purchase of 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 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 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 remain? $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 paymenu S4BO One year’s ground rent 110 “ average interest 90 “ tax 72 “ Insurance t> 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 hue 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 SO3 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 charges 757 00 Annual value 540 00 Annual strain on ourcbaaer 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 Baid 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 THE HOUSE ACTUALLY COSTS the purchaser. His first payment wass 500 Six y«ars, $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 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. Ana 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. 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 bouses were at times too warm. In brief, ask them, if you choose, whether you ought to buy or not, and act accord ingly. SPRING BTRECTOB “PARK PLACR" HOUSXS. 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, -41, 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.

Assuming this to be true the actual cost of the house would be as follows: Total annual chargess 543.75 Annual rental value 380.00 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 tor 5 years and 2 months.... 949.37 Tatal cost ot h0u5e51,449.37 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 company hepes, after haring made these conces sions. to be able to at once dispose ot its remaining houses. In two or three years >ney will doubtless be worth half again as much.

Mr. Stephens thought the farmers of Geor gia to be poorer than they really were at the close of the war, immediately after emancipa tion. I have been reading, by electric light, the glowing accounts of some of the popular newspapers of our wonderful “ progress ” in ag riculture. The “intensive system” has been exhibited in a rosy atmosphere to the delighted gaze of the world. Each succeeding week we are duly edified as to the marvelous achieve ments of “Uncle Steve," or some other phenom enal “ nigab,” as quoth Captain John Smith of Virginia fame, in the wav of making crops. Julius Greaser and Peter Pumpkin, with very old mules on very poor land, and sometimes with one-eyed oxen which have had their tails split for the “hollow horn.” Pile up mountains of cotton bags and hillo ks of luscious yam potatoes, with all the et ceteras of prosperous farms. Now, Mr. Editor, “enough of a thing is enough—too much is a dog’s mess.” Audi alteram partem. With your permission I pro pose to present the other side of the question, and to show that our farmers are growing poorer every year, and that the free “niggahs" as proprietors, tenants and farmers, are “no good,” as the Dutchman says. My position is this: There can be no prosperity for our coun try until the land holders live upon their estates and utilize the negro or a wage laborer by di recting him in all his operations and subjecting him to constant and strict superintendence. In the meantime let amatuer farmers and pampered, kid-gloved editors, with their polished pens and slick tongues, decorate the holiday scenes and fes tive exhibitions they find in their rural excur sions and glorijy “the progress” of • people who are sweltering in the dungeons and dust of a system of profitless labor and profound de spair—a people panting and ready to faint in tie stifling fumes of free-niggerism! The fact is that there is as much “progress” and “prosperity" among the naked dependents of the Brazilian coffee patches as there is among the lazy, thriftless negro tenants of our South ern cotton patches. To confess the whole truth, there are white people who emulate the virtues of Cuffe to a degree, and who would doubtless be glad to dispense altogether with the robe de chambre. Veritas. s. s. s. This Great Medicine Cures a Bad Case of Poisen Oak in Clarke County. Last Sunday, while at Mr. T. F. Hud son’s, the great hay and carp man, who is perhaps better known than any farmer in the State, we noticed that his son, DeWitt, seemed to be skinning off at the hands. Mr. H. called the little fellow to him and showed us how the skin, even on the palm of his hands, was coming off in flakes and a new skin appearing under neath. He explained that several years ago the child was badly poisoned with poison oak, and every spring he broke out and suffered greatly, He had applied every known remedy to relieve the suf ferer, and employed physicians to attend him, but with no avail. "In fact,” Mr. Hudson continued, “it seemed like to go in sight of a poison oak vine would cause the eruptions to break out afresh. After trying everything else, I read in the Ban ner-Watchman so much about the S. S 8. blood medicine that I determined to try that also, but must confess that I had lit tle hope in it. But, as you see, its suc cess has been wonderful. It has driven every particle of the poison from my child’s system, and is now putting a new skin on him. He is thoroughly cured, and the 8. S. S. did the good work. I believe that it will drive out any kind of poison from the blood, and its effect on DeWitt proves it. There are a great many sufferers from poison oak in the country, and to such I can knowingly recommend this great medicine. It not only effects a certain cure, but seems to put fresh life into one.” This is onlv one of the numerous in dorsements of S. S. S. that has reached us, and we publish it as information to those who are suffering with poison in their system, it matters not from what source it comes. This discovery in regard to curing the effects of poison oak is of great importance, as it gives a certain remedy for a most common and aggrava ting affliction, for which no permanent re lief had ever been known. The S. S. S. is certainly the king of blood medicines, and is as Harmless as it is solvent for the eradication of impure blood from the system. Athens Banner-Watchman, April 30th. CAPITOL FUN.
