The railroad gates still continue to run

Peachtree is comparatively in a

A great many graduates are now ready

Five years ago even the central busi
ness streets of the city had no curbed
sidewalks. When the exposition was
held it will be remembered that the side
walks out Marietta were hardly passable.
No curbs, no paving, plenty of mud. To
day there is a fine paved sidewalk all
along that beautiful, busy street. All of
the principal residence streets now have
fine sidewalks, and besides most of
the smaller streets have them. Atlanta
is surely moving forward.

Colonel Avery is away in Athens, and

TRYING TO HI RT ATLANTA.
There is no one agency that is doing as
much to-day to hurt Atlanta as the
press.
Outside of the city there are a few pa
lters, and we are pleased to say only a
few, who take sweet pleasure in doing
everything they can to hurt the city. All
this hurts some, but it does not affect the
city in itself. Business is as brisk as any
city anywhere.
Yesterday the other afternoon paper,
the Journal, comes out witha leaded sup
posed-to-be communication on editorial
page where it proposes to drive the citi
zens to build the Atlanta and Hawkins
ville line. That is a bad policy. The
citizens can be led but not driven. It
goes on to lament how the city will be
ruined, and all that sort of nonsense, if
we do not secure this road. How foolish !
It is true that the road will help the city
very greatly, but she can get along just
about as well without it. If the citizens
are appealed to properly they will build
tliis line, because they see the necessity
of it. New railroads are of incalculable
benefit to any city, and this road, running
through a very rich country, is a neces-

sity to the commercial trade in many
ways.
But we repeat that the citizens will be
driven into nothing.
We hope that the press will stop this
harping on Atlanta being ruined because
she did not get certain roads and indus
tries, and let’s all look up what booming
industries we have on hand and help
them a'ong.
Perhaps if The Capitol was receiving
ten cents a line for editorials and commu

get fractious, but as it is against our prin

are not so excited.

Cnnada’i Experimental Farm.
Canada is trying to improve her farming fa
cilities.
Some two years ago it was resolved to estab
lish an experimental farm in the Dominion, for
the purpose of encouraging and developing the
agricultural interests of Canada.
A man, Professor Wm. Saunders, of London,
Ont., was commissioned to institute an investi
gation. That gentleman has recently made his
report to the Minister of Agriculture of Canada,
which contains many points of interest to
Americans.
It seems that Canada has only one institution,
that of the Ontario Agricultural College, near
Guelpn, which has a farm of 550 acres.
In the United States there are 37 States in
which agricultural and mechanical departments
in connection with such institutions are main
tained, and where they are not now in operation
abundant provision has been made for their es
tablishment and maintenance. In three States,
Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia, there
are two institutions each for the teaching of ag*
rlculture and the mechanical arts.
Canada does not propose to be behind in such
matters and will build several colleges and ex
perimental stations.
Cheerful Home Life*
Hava you been married a long while? Yes?
Well perhaps by this time you are complaining
of your wife’s being indifferent and fretty; and
perhaps you often say, “Wife, during our first
year or two of married life you never used to be
so cross and complaining.’*
Do you know how to remedy this trouble?
We will tell you. When you were first married
you called your wife Pet, Dove, Birdie, Love,
Darling, or some other equally as sweet name.
You had a pleasant smile and a kiss for her
when you reached home, and you did not get
mad every time she spoke complainiugly of
something.
Try that old scheme awhile again and see if
it will not work wonders.
True, it may make you feel sort of foolish to
call your wife by the old pet names when you
have been so cool for so long. It may surprise
her and not change her for a few days, but cry
it for a month, and you will find her a different
person from what you expected.*
These remarks are addressed to the husbund
but might with equal force be applied to the
wife. A little more forbearauce and disposition
to do right would smooth matters very much in
this world.

ENQUIRER-SUN.
The Congressional campaign moves
along quietly, so much so that a great
many are lead to presume that not a great
deal of interest is felt in it. In this city
there is hardly any chance to get up a
discussion, as everybody are one way of
thinking Muscogee will speak in favor
of her trusted and talented son, Hon.
Thomas W. Grimes, as with the voice of
one man. In some of the adjoining coun
ties much the same state of affairs exists,
while in others there is little or no oppo
sition manifested. For one time, at least,
there appears a disposition in this part of
the District to act in harmonious concert
and work for the best interest of the Dis

The Atlanta anti-prohibitionists say
real estate in that city can be purchased
for less than half price after July 1. If
that should prove true a fine opportunity
will be offered to outside prohibitionists to
secure cheap homes and business loca

keep up a town at Atlanta besides the
trade in ardent spirits. The person who
expects to buy property there for much
less than it was worth a year ago, how
ever, will doubtless be disappointed.

Thia Great Medicine Cures a Bad Case
of Poison 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 S.
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 lias 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 S. 8. 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 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 8. 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 discoven- 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 le
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. Athena Banner - Watchman,
April 30th.
FACTS GLEATED.
What the Reliable Telegraph and
the ReNponsible Constitution
Say as to the Progress of
the Campaign.
Dodgers have been circulated around in Troup
county for the last week or so announcing that
Dr Felton would address the people in the in
terests of Major Bacon on yesterday, and claim
ing that the crowd would be larger than that
which assembled to see the departure of the
first troops to the front in ’6l.
Not twenty-five people living outside the
town were paesent, and altogether the crowd
numbered perhaps one hundred. Dr. Felton
spoke for three hours, after which he was com
pletely squelched by Col. W. C. Glenn, and the
Bacon men admit that the fight is over as re
gards Bacon.
Bacon went to school tn LaGrange
and Gordon secured his wife there,
hence both have many friends. Bacon’s
strongest supporter being Major B. C.
Ferrill, while Gordon is upheld by
Col. A. D. Abraham, both among the wealthiest
and most influential citizens of Troup county.
Mr. Glenn made strong endeavors to get the
doctor to divide time with him, but in this he
was unsuccessful, as the doctor claimed it was
his meeting, and informed Glenn if be wanted
to talk be would have to wait until he had fin
ished. The Bacon men were very much put out
on account of the doctor’s lowering his colors and
fearing to meet Gordon’s silver-tongued orator,
one Bacon man actuaUy starting a petition ask
ing the doctor to retire. At one o’clock Doctor
Felton entered escorted by Major Ferrell, a man
and a liver-colored setter dog. A young man
seated at a desk with a flat stick and the dog
led the applause. The man would hit the
desk with bis stick and the dog
would bark. For one hour and a half by the
watch. Doctor Felton spoke in the interest of
Dr. Feltoj, lauding himself to the skies. The
three ideas in Felton’s speech were
Ist. General Gordon was not able to take care
of himself.
2d. Dr. Felton was the smartest Aleck in the
stall.
3d. Men should not be bound by anything but
their own wishes. At the conclusion of the
Doctor’s speech Colonel Glenn was loudly called
to the stand. The man with the stick and the
dog withdrew with the Doctor. Mr. Glenn
showed that the Doctor’s hope was that there
might be room for an Independent in
the race, and that Independent would
be Felton. His life bad been spent in warfare
upon Democracy. He is nothing more than a
political wrecker.
The Bacon men are very much disheartened,
and say there is no hope for their candidate; so
says the Constitution.
The Macon Telegraph has only a limited ac
count of the demonstration as follows:
LaGrange, June 16. Dr. Felton made a
strong speech, full of terse argument, to-day,
to a large crowd. Glenn, of Dalton, was here
to watch for a chance.
Dr. Felton reviewed Gordon’s railroad connec
tions and Wall street speculations, and referred
to the fact that Got don declared in his late
Americus speech that all he had was in rail
roads. The Doctor recalled how the Constitu
tion had abused him (Felton) at the last session
of the Legislature for trying to abolish
pools, and how even Governor Smith
had thanked him for that and for preserving
the Railroad Commission, and now Governor
Smith and the forward and backward Constitu
tion were together against the people and for the
late Florida railroad magnate, who sold bis
railroad for a million—that is, as Grady says.
Dr. Felton, replying to Glenn’s charge that
he (Felton) had advocated a Republican (Sim
mons) for census taker, showed that Simmons
was endorsed by Glenn’s owa father, who was a
Radical. This was absolutely crushing.
Gordon men say Felton is a power.
Gen. Gordon spoke to about 600 people in
Thomasville yesterday. Nine-tenths of the
crowd were for Gordon. There are sot 3*o Ba

Important Announcement to tbe
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 tbe 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 reeidences 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 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 tbe 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 tiue and proper test which one nius 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 iron th. 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 strain on nurcharer 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 tbe end of
six years has his home, whereas tbe 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

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 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 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.
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 00
Ground r»-nt 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 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 for 5 years and 2 months.... 949.37
Total cost of 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 hopes, after having made th<»se conces
sions. to be able to at once dispose of its remaining
bouses. Tn 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 home for his family
in away that can hardly strain his resources, but he
has in addition an incentive to save, coupled with the
faet that he is securing an investment which affords him
every reasonable expectation that after it is oree paid
for it will be worth more than the original purchase
money, to say nothing of the years of rent that he has
saved to himself and family. Persons desiring to nego
late should cad on premises or address
