We shall be profoundly grateful to the

A GROWING NPIRIT.
The asperities that have marked the
gubernatorial campaign have engendered
a growing disposition to drop the present
candidates and put in a new man.
This tendency cannot be ignored. Gen
tlemen visiting here from all parts of the
State report this spirit. In travelling from
here to Athens the writer heard much of
this sort of talk. The Savannah News
has this to say on this line :
“If the Chrbnicle wants to do what is wise
and patriotic now it will advise the people to
abandon both candidates, and send tneir best
men, uninstructed, to the convention. The
party is under no obligations to either Major
Bacon or General Gordon. They have rendered
the party services, but have been fully compen
sated. Thpy are in debt to the party rather
than the party to them. Why then stand by
them when the risks are so great, and when
there are dozens of men in the State who are as
well qualified in every respect for Governor as
thev are 7
“It is full time to call a halt. One by one the
Dames of Georgia’s great men—names spoken
with reverence in every household in the State
—are being robbed of the glory with which his
tory has surrounded them. Let us save from
the defaming touch of the present campaign
others occupying a place on the scroll of fame
which have not been dragged into it. This can
lie done by ceasing to elect Gordon or Bacon
delegates, and by selecting delegates who will
do what is best for the party and the State."
A HiII,IFF.
In the turbulence of politics it is re
freshing to find a meek, little agricultural
gathering reported. Amid Felton’s sul
phuric abuse of Gordon and Milt Smith’s
invective against the parson,it is an agree
able spectacle to the eye, wearied with
the hot glare of the canvass, to look upon
a mild, peaceful farm debate, in which
the gentle feasibility of raising Texas
blue grass in Sumter county is the most
savage issue.
Really such a change is charming be
yond expression. Hints on clover, as an
antidote to the Baconian dissection of
Gordon’s senatorial resignation, make a
delightful alternative. While sneers at
Bacon’s heredity in typhoid fevers as an
inducement to army resignation lose ev
erything of interest from a Gordonian
standpoint in comparison with that en
thusing farm barbecue that is proposed
near Americus, when the Arcadian turnip
and the rural goober will be the most ex
citing topics for consideration.
AN UN WHITTEN LAW.
We do not think it fair in the Bacon
men to taunt Gordon for declining to
share time at his appointments with Ba
con speakers. It has ripened into an un
written but binding law of politics by long
precedent that candidates shall not dis
cuss with any but au apponent. Speakers
could be purposely put up who would
lower the dignity of the discussion. The
speakers in such a contest are not on an
equality. The candidate ii at a decided
disadvantage in every respect. He is un
der more restraint and has more to lose.
Let the custom be enforced and let it be
understood that the candidates will not
have joint discussions with speakers on
the other side, and let no effort lie made
to compel a candidate to decline such a
proposition.
A HOLANuTfohFaVoLIVER.
The newspaper men are lively folks to
tackle.
The Americus Republican has shown
its ability to take care care of itself under
fire.
It is against Crisp for Congress. Some
40 Crisp men in Schley county put up a
boycott against the Republican. The Re
publican retorts by saying only 10 of the
40 take the Republican, and of the 10 only
one has paid for his paper beyond Janu
ary, 1886, while some of them owe from
January, 1874.
It does not mind a boycott from delin
quent debtors.
TH E CAMPAIGN.
T General Gordon spoke in Warrenton
yesterday, and Major Bacon in Hawkins
ville.
Both gentlemen carried things over
whelmingly, according to their respective
organs. Neither of them have spoken
any where without revolutionizing public
sentiment and bringing in the whole flock
of the opposition. According to the vera
cious report on the other side each speech
fell flat.
This agreeable and piquant antagonism
of newspaper narrative is one of the racy
and chronic features of the campaign.
GORDON IN WILKEN.
The Constitution’s correspondent says
Gordon had more than 600 to speak to in
Washington, and all but 11 held hands up
for Gordon.
The Chronicle’s correspondent says
that about 300 voters congregated to hear
his speech. It owns, however, that the
majority were on the Gordon side.
The Chronicle writer says that the
tightest race of the State will probably be
in Wilkes county.
Under the ordinary method of reporting,
Bacon’s case, under this statement, is
hopeless in Wilkes. If Bacon’s friends
own it a tight case he must be gone up
there.
It is now the fashion when a candidate
is badly defeated in a county to say that
his strength was a surprise to both sides,
and if he had made an effort he would
have carried the county. That is very
soothing.
CAPITOL CRAYONS.
Tar. Cobb county paper mill ia about to en
large and arrange for making wood pulp paper.
That Confederate Bond Flurry.
Everybody remembers the speculation there
was a year or two ago in the defunct Confeder
ate bonds.
The long sleeping representatives of buried
Confederate finance awoke to sndden life. It
was as miraculous, as astounding, as inexplica
ble, and as gratifyiug as a resurrection of the
dead.
The worthless old securities were hunted up
and brought to light, and thousands of dollars
passed into the South in the uerplexing commerce
over these historic rags. Conjecture exhausted
itself in trying to frame a solution of the mys
tery. Somebody was putting money into the
d ifunct papers. The brokers advertised—the
daily journals had constant calls forthem, and
the bewildered owners got their money in won
der and unexplained mystification. •
The speculation kept up. Prices fell off and
rallied. The purchase stopped and started up.
There was queer cupidity and odd delusions.
Men that got 3 cents on the dollar bewailed
that they sold se low, and regretted not having
waited for 10 ceuts or perhaps 100 cents. A
greedy hope prevailed that the issue would be
come permanently vital.
But none knew the mystery, and all sold in
ignorant hope of the money miracle getting
rosier still. The traffic in the stale, dead old
things became intoxicating. But it finally
checked up and then quit, and some men that
pass for sensible still have bonds upon which
tber could have realized handsomely, but in
dickering for an unattained and unobtainable,
price they lost the golden chance to get any
thing.
The trafiic in the bonds has remained a mys
tery. Recent events have thrown some light
on it. A more empty scheme could not be im
agined—a more baseless effort to realize some
thing from nothing, engineered by the silliest
sacrifice of good money without possible return.
Some English speculators heard a cock and
bull story of Confederate Treasure being some
where secreted in England, and made a syndi
cate to buy up Confederate bonds at a few cents
on the dollar and enforce their claim on this
treasure, which has never been discovered. Re
cently Judge Fullerton, a distinguished lawyer
of New York, has made argument before the
Congressional House Committee ou war
claims in behalf of the silly Eng
lish purchasers of the dead Confederate bonds,
insisting that as the United States forbid by
statute the Southern States to pay these war
debts, the United States government became
responsible for them.
The speculative Britishers will have an-snter
esting and expensive crusade, but they will get
no government money. And the speculation
will rank among the funniest crank crusades of
the world to make money.

THE EVENING CAPITOL: ATLANTA GJU FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1886
Important Announcement to tbe
Public.
Tbe “Baltimore Syndicate” takes this means
of informing the public that it has decided in
order to meet tbe 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 $500"
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 1; 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 iu 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 just as the
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 tbe
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 paymentss4Bo
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 tbe 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, tbe rental
value should be deducted.
The calculation would accordingly stand
thus:
Total annual charges 757 00
Annual (rental value 540 00
Annual attain on nurchaser 217 00
It will thus be seen that tbe 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, aud 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 THE HOUSE ACTUALLY COSTS
the purchaser.
Hi« first payment wass 509
Six years, $217 each 1,3*2
Total c0at11.892
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. 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 tbe 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 OB “PARK 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.
Grav; No. 13 to Mrs. Fannie McCandless. Nos.
3, I'l, 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 paymentss3*o 00
Ground rent 90 00
Average interest 55 50
Tax 33 75
Insurance 4 50
Total annual chargess43 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 as follows:
Total annual charges $ 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
1183.75 per year for 5 years and 2 months.... 949.37
Total cost of house 31.449.37
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 hopes, after having made these conces
sions. to be able to at once dispose of iu remaining
houses. Iu two or three years they will doubtless be
worth half again as much. Every indication shows that
these bouses are situated in the coming residence sec
tion of the city. No portion of the city has such a
beautiful prospect before it. Whether there be any ad
vance or not, there will surely be no retrogression. So
that a purchaser not only secures a horns for his family
in away that can hardly strain his resources, bit ho
has in addition an incentive to save, coupled with the
fact that he ia seeming an investment which affords him
every reasonable expectation that after it Is onee paid
tor it will be worth more than the original purchase
moaev. to say nothing of the years of rent that he has
saved'to himself and family. Pereoas desiring to nego
ute should call ou premises or address

Little Inez is the daughter of a newspa
per man in this city, who lives at Mt.
Pleasant, and who is quite a lover of the
weed. A few weeks ago her grandfather,
an old Baptist deacon from New Hamp
shire, was on a visit here to Inez. She
was sitting in his lap one day and ob
served he was moving his lips. She gazed
at him for a moment and said :
“Grandpa, do you chew tobacco?”
“No, my dear, never.”
Inez sat still for a moment. “Grandpa,
do you smoke?” she said.
“No, my dear.”
Again Inez was silent, but, brightening
up, she gazed at her grandfather and
asked:
“Grandpa, are you a man?”—Boston

For over two years I suffered intensely
with muscular rheumatism. I became al
most helpless, and had to be helped fre
quently 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 body,
from my waist up, 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. About a year ago I was in
duced 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

Hampton, Ga., April 29, 1886.
Captured by a Bull Frog.
Chicago Herald.
One of the best of Sam Small’s war stories is
this: “When things were hot around Atlanta
Captain Evan Howell received an order to re
connoiter across the Chattahoochee river and
ascertain if the Federal troops had retired. The
night was black as ink. He read the order to his
men but was surprised to find them all disquali
fied for the risky job. One couldn’t swim, an
other had rheumatism, still another always
took cramps in the water and so it went down
the whole line. But the order had to be obeyed.
So Howell plunged into the river and made for
the other side. He was a remarkable good
smimmer and felt sure he was making no
noise; yet be became so frightened that each
stroke seemed to him to arouse the whole Fed
eral camp. Now and then a lightening bug ap
peared, and, confident it was a flash of a Yankee
musket, be ducked under the water. By and
by he got so near the shore that he could wade,
and he was creeping along as cautiously as
possible, his teeth chattering with fear, when of
a sudden he struck against an old tree that bad
fallen in the river. Just then a huge bull frog
gave a sonorous blurt and jump into the river.
Unable to retain his self-possession longer,
Howell threw up both hands and veiled in ter
ror, ‘I surrender! I surrender!’ When be finally
reached the camp not a Yankee could be seen,
but a smoldering fire gave evidence that they
had recently decamped.”
Nirs. Cleveland’* Title.
Pull Mall Gazette.
A pretty story, if one could believe it, is told
by the Paris correspondent of a Vienna paper.
A short time ago a matinee musical was given
by the Duchess Lamotte and among tbe guests
was the charming bride-elect of President
Cleveland, then in Paris completing her trous
seau. The young ladv was the object of many
marks of distinction, the high aristocracy sur
rounded her and there was much talk of her
position. One lady, the daughter-in-law of the
Duchess de Persigny, condoled with Miss Fol
some because she would have no title as the
wife of a Republican President. “All would be
well, onlv you will have no title,” said she;
“you will only be called Mrs. Cleveland.” “But
that name is only for strangers,” was the an
swer of the fair American; “the President has
for intimacy conferred upon me a verv particu
lar title.” Everybody looked up curiously and,
blushing deeply, Miss Folsom added: “He calls
me— his darling. Can a wife desire a better
title?” The hostess embraced her amiable
guest, remarking: “You are right, and you ap
pear to me as if you would keep the title to the
end of your life.”

Tbeir Latest and Wildest Threat—
The Senaati.n of tbe Hour.
Again tbe Wild Cats of Atlanta have come to
the front, and this time in a more than usual
meddlesome manner. It is in this wise: They
threaten to exteriminate, if their demand is not
complied with, with no apparent cause, two of
Atlanta’s most industrious and enterprising
young business men. This morning on open
ing their store they found a card tacked on
their door, which read as follows:
Messrs. Spencer A Dodd —Gents: If you
don’t quit selling groceries so fearfully cheap
immediately, your lives will be in danger. A
timelv work of warning is sufficient.

A Reporter Takes a Glimpse Into a
New Meat Market.
This morning a meandering paragrapher of
Tbe Capitol staff peeped into the new meat
market at 116 Whitehall street, and seeing the
familiar face of Mr. Wm. Dickinson, he strided
in. Well, it was ascertained that Mr. H. T.
Jessie bad opened up this market, and that he
proposed to run it strictly first-class, and from
the fine assortment of seasonable meats dis
played, such as spring lamb, Choice Beef, etc.,
the'reporter is satisfied he means busines.
Mr. Dickinson, afore mentioned, is in charge.
He is well known to the trade and will be glad
to have his friends and the public in general
favor him with their orders, assuring them that
he will give them the best meats the market
affords and polite and prompt attention. Call
at 116 Whitehall street.
