Fulton countt never had a better chance to
show who is ruler, the people or political trick
sters.
About forty young men met at the Kimball
House last night and decided to Organize a
Young Men’s Liberal Club, the object of which
will be to guard the city against fanaticism.
Mb. Rlcbabd Malcolm Johnston will deliv
er an address Tuesday night, July 20, on
“Cracker Life,” at the court house. Tickets

Col. Bbat has made an announcement for
representative of Fulton county He is a wor
thy gentleman, a sound lawyer, and one worthy
of the confidence of the people. He will make a
fine race.
Col. Abnold proceeded to prick the bubble
las t night after Col.Mynatt was through speak
ing and be kept the audience in a continuous
roar of laughter with his quaint sayings.
He grew eloquent at times and among other
things said:
“Whoever heard of a Democratic mass meet
ing of this kind being called after night? How
could the outlying districts attend it? Was it
fair? Will you endorse such trickery or will
you put your seal of condemnation upon all such
cut and dried affairs for all time on next Tues
day?”
Imprisonment for Street Tax.
The Working World says will our city attor
ney venture his opinion as to the constitution
ality of committing a man to the chain-gang
because he cannot pay the tax imposed on him
by the city, and the costs ? In plain English—
can Recorder Anderson imprison a man not
guilty of a crime ? Can a man be imprisoned
for debt ?
A Rare Box of Flowers-
Mr. Clifford L. Near, the well known ad. man,
steps around to-day with a glad light shining
in his eyes. The cause? Well he is the re
cipient of a most exquisite box filled with rare
flowers, the fragrance of which fills every nook
and cranny of The Capitol office.The box is from
Alabama and Cliff claims that a friend sent it,
but this reporter can’t see itin that light, for
there is a certain care exercised in arranging
the many-hued flowers and grasses that be
speaks—well, you know how ’tis yourself.
The Capitol force are all very fond of flow
ers, especially the reporters, and they are al
ways sighing that they have no girl to send
them beautiful boxes of lovely flowers.
The Foundations Were Out.
Editor Capitol, Atlanta, Ga.—Dear Sir:
In the condensed article regards the fall of the
building on Means'street and W. 4 A. railroad,
you publish that the building fell while being
raised. This condensation of the article from
the morning paper is wrong and must ask you
to rectify the srme. The building was raised
July 4th, 1886 and blocked in a thorough and
workman-like manner, and stood so until its fall:
awaiting to have its foundation built under it.
Injustice to myself and the firm who raised the
building, Mr. 0. L. Pease, please insert the
above. Yours, respectfully,
Ernest C. Barth.

M. E. CHURCH SOOTH.
District Conference.
, Special by Telephone.
Decatub, Ga., July 16.—Conference met at
' 3 o’clock, Dr. H. H. Parks in the chair. Prayer
by Rew. Dr. Key. Minutes of morning session
read and approved.
, Report of committee on desecration of the
i Sabbath was received and was in strong, plain
: language. In the report is a resolution that
will be heard of again, possibly many times in
: the Capitol.
Report from the committee on literature was
received and adopted, as was the repart from
the committee to visit the orphans
Homs. The Capitol visited with the cornmit-
. tee to this home, the pride of Methodism, and
was agreeably surprised. While The Capitol
went expecting to see a nicely kept home, did
not expect to see a perfect, systematic institu
tion.
1 We saw 37 children, all inmates of the home,
' and saw others who were visitors, the girls clad
in neat muslins, and the boys in neat though
coarser goods.
( This is a grand and great work, and while it
( is justly the pride of the M. E. Church, South,
1 the State is proud of it, and should be. The
house is large, new and perfect in its appoint
ments.
The boys work on the farm; and while The
Capitol mixed and mingled with them, asking
■ many questions, they proved to be in first-class
i training, and a bad word or an oath is said to
foreign language in this noble institution.
The girls make the clothes, do the cooking,
washing and house work, and seem perfectly
happy and at home.
1 The committee was present at the dinner hour,
and as the great bell rang for this great
dining Thb Capitol noticed the scampering of
little feet from every direction of the large
well shaded grassy grove, and as all gathered in
the large dining hall where two long tables, one
' for the boys and one for the girls, the visitors
' being honored with seats at the girls’ table. All
1 stood, each by his seat, and waited patiently
until God’s blessings were invoked. A beauti
ful sight was this, and as all were doing justice
to a good vegetable dinner with ham,beef, m utton
and milk, berry pies, etc. The Capitol
thought bow fortunate and how anfortunate
; were these blessed children and truly God’s
i strong arm through this great Methodist army
-of good men and women are around these fath
erless and motherless, but not friendless and
I homeless children.
Little girls waited on the tables and did it
nicely.
After dinner the committe,with The Capitol,
was shown over the building by a little
girl who was right pretty
and remarkably intelligent. When all were
about to leave good byes were said more like
home than anything else.
These children have a regular teacher who
receives a good salary. Not only are they
taught in the regular rudiments of English, but
have a good organ and all enjoy learning music
and singing.
As space forbids a longer report, more will be
said about this noble, grand, great and good
work some other time.
On motion the Conference went into an election
by ballot, for four delegates to the Annual Con
ference. Dr. King, Rev. Mr. Barton, B. B.
Crew and , were elected.
At 5 o’clock Conference adjourned. Rev. M.
L. Underwood preached at the 8 o’clock evening
services. He is a fine speaker and a good man.

chartered forty years ago; had a large number
of scholars, and all in perfect health; not one
dollar had been paid last year for doctors’ bills.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA.. SATURDAY EVENING. JULY 17, 1886.
THE HOMING PIGEONS.
Two of the Five Shot and Killed in
South Carolina.
Sergeant S. W. Beall, of the Signal Service
Bureau, received a letter this morning stating
that two of the five homing pigeons which be
liberated in Atlanta on July 10th, have been
; heard from.
■ On the same day they were set loose; two
were shot and killed at Griers, South Corolina,
175 miles from Atlanta. The leg bands were
sent to the secretary in New Tork, and from
i him Sergeant Beall obtained the information.
, The other three birds have not been heard from.
The Southern press has been called upon to
' condemn this ruthless killing of homing pigeons,

the wing as there is any sporting chickens in a
! barnyard.
