This young and prosperous lodge, numbering

Poor Limerick. One can hardly read a paper
but he finds some reference to this son of mis
fortune. Disgust st his conduct, has yielded
to commiseration for his inability to resist temp
tation, and it is high time to allow his name to
be forgotten by the public. Yet by his terrible
condition, at this particular juncture, an Impor
tant matter is demonstrated.
—T—
Prohibition is an established fact in oun midst
and will soon be so in our entire commonwealth.
By the united effort of moralist, philanthropist
and political economist our children and young
men are protected from a curse that, for years,
has been the bane of our lovely southland. Still
their work is not yet completed.
Provisions must be made for those, who,
probably yielding at first willingly to the al
lurements of gilded saloons and inviting music,
have created a thirst so absolutely beyond coi
trol as to assume, but for the indisposition to
accord it, such dignity, the nature of a disease,
wherein certain vital functions are deranged
and their natural action interrupted, necessi
tating the desperate appliance of the cause as
the temporary, yet insufficient, remedy.
Those who have so faithfully labor'd and so
admirably succeeded in the one will crown the
other with similar prosperous issue. So let
the good work begin. Crest one of our numer
ous barren hills with comfortable buildings, spa
cious grounds and place over the entrance let
ters that will carry hope to many fallen and de
graded human beings, “Of.ohoia Inebriate
ASYLUM.”

An asylum of this character need not be
built or maintained by private subscription, but
by Slate appropriation. The very object of
government is the protection of society and no
one will gainsay the proposition that society
will be protected by removing from its midst
the unfortunate creatures who will be admit
ted to the precincts of such an institution and
incalculably beuefitted by their reform. Nor
would the expense be enormous. With the
proper selection of a site at the beginning, a
judicious management of the affairs after its es
tablishment, almost, if not entire, self-suste
nance will follow.
A large number of our wealthy and influential
citizens have recently been prohibited from con
ducting tho" business in which they have been
engaged, and must naturally look for some ven
ture in which to place the capital thus thrown
idly upon their hands. It of course behooves
each of them to invest where the largest and
surest returns are guaranteed.
—Y—
On last Tuesday the directors of the Gate
City National Bank met and declared a semi
annual dividend of six per cent, on their capital
stock. In addition to this dividend they report
on July Ist an undivided surplus of $50,000. We
apprehend that no other absolutely safe busi
ness, devoid of all risk from speculation or oth
erwise, will make such a Showing.
—Y —
The combined corporate banking capital of
Atlanta, a city of 00,000 inhabitants, the com
mercial center of the State and doing annually
a business of $25,000,000, is only $700,000, with
a surplus of $240,000. That of Savannah, a
1 much smaller town and doing much less buai
-1 ness, is $9,100,000, with a surplus of $4,800,000,
I considerably over ten times the amount thus
invested by our capitalists, while Augusta fol
' lows with $5,380,000 and Columbus with $1,450,-
000. In each of the latter cases the surplus is
about half the figures staled as being the paid
in capital.
—Y—
-1 This is anything but a creditable showing for
so important a factor in the financial and com
mercial success of any community and demon
strates beyond cavil that the best opening for
men of means and business acumen is here in
our own midst and needs only the united effort
of a few willing pockets to be improved.
T
I It is, to some extent, leaving the subject, yet
i not altogether so, for is it not the best interest
1 of our oity, as well as that of some of our citiiens
being considered, to refer to the mode of elec
i tioneering adopted by some in the present Con
: gressioual contest? We read with shame and
1 iodination, an editorial in one of the city papers,
wherein the threat was made that were not a
I a certain candidate elected, the interest in an
important enterprise would be allowed to droop
•nd we would then be deprived of certain in
r calculable benefits. Os course it is only a
| menace and without foundation, but it displays
a disposition to rule or ruin; worthy the con
demnation of every frieni of the candidate in
whose interest it w. s written. We are satis-
i tied that the honotable gentleman himself, does
not, cannot, dare not approve such methods.

An interesting meeting was held at the Mari

were conducted by W. P. Patillo.
Yesterday afternoon, an old foundry building
on the Western A Atlantic railroad, near the
Cheaa-Carley oil house, fell while being raised,
and four men who were at work in it, were seri
ously injured, and slightly hurt. Ihe four
who were injured were: Lawreuce Fox, white:
John P. Weaver, white; Alfred Moore and Wm.
Bryant, colored. Every upright timber in the
building fell, and the roof was leveled to the
ground. It seems miraculous that the work
men escaped death.
The old Mason House at Decatur was de
stroyed by tire last night at 9 o'clock.
The alarm of fire was sounded yesterday

was fouud to be in the steam laundry on Peach

HASH 8A1.1,.
Nashville wins the last of the series from At
lanta by an accident in the eighth inning with
one out. Hillery came to the bat; hit to left for
single. Taylor hit a long fly to center field, and
Hogan made a desperate run for it, but stum
bled as he reached for the ball and fell headlong
against the center field fence. The fall was a
bard one, and it was thought by every one pres
ent that he was killed in falling; his shoulders
hit the fence by an act of prudence. There was
enough force to knock the boards off, otherwise
his neck would have been broken. He laid in
the position in which he had fallen for some
moments, like a dead man. Shortly afterwards
he came t<o and was carried to the Club House,
and with good attention of his fellow comrades
and Dr. Nicholson was soon convalescent.
Moore was the man who plaved first for Nash
ville, last season, when Henkie was killed.
Moore is tender-hearted and is one of the first
to reach an injured man. He has, and never
will, get over the shock he received at Henkie’s
death. Another accident occurred at the same
time and the last one won the game for Nash
ville. Just where Hogan fell was a wasp’s nest.
Shaffer in trying to field the ball was badly
stung. Taylor scored and won the game for
Nashville during the excitement, thus winning
the game for Nashville by the score of 3 to 2.
The game was a hotly contested game though.
Atlanta is playing an errorless game, and it is
the opinion of many that McQuade was not ex
actly umpiring a fair game. It does look as
though he hated to see Nashville defeated. Both
pitchers did good work and were well supported.
Some of the plays made were very fine.

The Early Morning Idiots.
The spirit of baseball which is abroad in the
land has attacked some of our best citizens liv
ing on Peachtree and adjoining streets, and
they meet daily at the hour of 5:30 a. m., and
have a game at the Athletic Park. They are
fully equipped with masks and gloves, impor
tant adjuncts to the game. The first idea was
to call the club the "Peachtree Early Birds” as
expressive at once of the time of meeting and
the nature of their batting products. But after
the third game the club unanimously concen
trated on the title of the Early Morning Idiots
as completely meeting the requirements of the
case.
This morning, as the Secretary came down
town, he dropped accidentally the following r. s
olutions prepared for the next business meeting
of the club. Our eagle-eyed’ reporter secured
the document, and that each member may have
a copy and act intelligently at the meeting, we
present them herewith:
As directed by the E. M. J. I have prepared
the following resolutions on the points under
discussion at the last meeting, and respectfully
submit them for consideration by your honora
ble body:
Resolved, That the same rule shall apply to
balls hit to right, center and left field that now
applies to fouls knocked over the grand stand,
and it shall be the duty of the umpire to keep
constantly on hand a full supply of extra balls
at his own expense.
Resolved, That eighteen small boys shall be
elected honorary members of this club', without
batting duties, to be auxiliary to the outfield
ers; that not more than six of said auxiliaries
shall enter the diamond at any one time during
the progress of a game, except for the purpose
of exterminating the umpire; that no limitation
be placed on the speed of said auxiliaries in
pursuing a batted ball, the only
additional limitation beinp that not more than
seventeen of said auxiliaries shall conch at the
same time ; that each of said auxiliaries shall
give good and sufficient bond for his prompt ap
pearance with a batted ball within an hour after
the ball leaves the bat, the bond to be approved
by the executive committee of the idiots, and the
short stop is hereby constituted and appointed
ex-eflicio the judicial officer for the prompt
arrest of absconding auxiliaries.
Resolved, In case the club or any member is
too late for the early morning dew, early moun
tain dew shall be considered a full and honora
ble substitute, provided, however, that each
member shall privately help himself from the
jug in the directors* stand without attracting
attention of the Prohibition Club or the Prohi
bition Commissioners, so that the terms of the
lawmay be complied with not to “give it away.”
Resolved, As a club we do not approve of
Atlanta’s new pitcher (the beer pitcher), but as
individuals we deem it our happy privilege to
occasionally coalesce.

Hammond will give him a warm wel
