Editorial Mang’r. entered at Atlanta P. O. as aecond-class matter. Adelina Patti and Nicolini were mar ried yesterday. The Alabama Democrats are having quite a contest in nominating their candi date for Governor. Mn. Gladstone announced in parlia ment yesterday the dissolution of parlia ment as soon as the financial business could be wound up. He thought the dis solution could take place this month. Tas brass band will hereafter be recognized ae an important factor in State political cam paign!.—Corington Star. Well, there is nothing wrong about that, Brother Anderson. A brass band is as legitimate as a barbecue. Aman who could not eucceaafully direct a goat rancbe han no business to occupy the gubernatorial chair. —Marion Patriot. We shall be profoundly grateful to the Patriot to explain the analogy between a “goat ranche” and the “gubernatorial chair” of Georgia. 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. New Court House for Americus, Ga. The plans of Messrs. Bruce A Morgan, our popular city architects, were accepted for ths new court house, at Americus, Ga. Several plans were presented but the large expense of the above firm in court house work placed them in charge of the erection of another fine build ing in addition to the long list already planned and built by them in this and adjoining States.

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 J. a. Bomrraat, PreaMdat. OUR GEORGIA EDITORS. Quaint Notion* and Witty Quip* of Tbe State Press Leaders. J. S. DENNIS, HAMILTON. Dr. Felton’s speeches will hardly ad vance the interests Major Bacon. Dr. Felton will find when it is too late that the believers in total depravity are not numerically strong enough in this State to electa Governor. An esteemed friend suggests that in the Gubernatorial contest we are trying to please both sides, while our better half thinks that the Journal reads.as if we were endeavoring to offend both. Really our endeavor has been to keep cool and to keep our good friends so. COL. ESTILL. It seems that the fact that the umpiring is believed to be more brilliant than the playing is killing interest in base ball in some parts of the country. It is to be feared that no Georgia official will ever have the courage to resign here after. PERCY V. HOWELL, GIBSON. Some of the small weeklies display as much acerbity in the Gubernatorial race as does a Mormon woman who owns a six-tenths interest in some bald-headed old jade. One of the inscrutable things we want to see-scruted is, why can’t we nominate some good man for Governor without so much hubbub and waste of time and money. J. I. COMBMAN. The general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church, which assembled last week in Augusta, mashed Mr. Wood row’s tail off, which is but another step higher according to his evolution theory. The same body moved the Home Mission Board with Dr. Craig at its head from Baltimore to Atlanta. CAPITOL FUN. A PECULIAR GRANDPA. 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 Evening Record. “What evidence have you that you are a Christian?” said Mr. Spurgeon to a working girl. “I now sweep under the mats,” she replied. “That,” said the great preacher, “is sufficient. ’ ’ —Tid- Bits. Inflammatory Kbeumatism-»>State ment of Rev. J. M. Lowry. 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 more than when I commenced taking S. S.

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.” HOKES FOR ALL. The Capital City Land and Improve ment Company ia prepared to eel! va cant lota or to build such houses as purchasers may desire upon any va cant property ths Company may own, on the installment plan. A small cash payment down and balance in monthly installments, being but little if any more than rent would be for similar yroperty.
