There is a vast amount of compassion going to waste in thia world. It spends itself in profit less tears or vapid words, or gusts or signs that till no useful sails. It is eminently a human pity, yet it dues uot crystaliie because it has not back of it any organisation to materialize and direct it. It is a full-grown soul, it is fair ly plethoric with good intentions, but it is in sad need of, and is hunting around for a body to furnish it an outlet for fruitfulness. Just such a body 'he organizations provide, so teat the members of the Orders not only can cherish the feelings of benevolence, but may also prac tice the deeds of benevolence.

I A DWELLING AND ITS CONTENTS DESTROYED. Mr. Hoyle Away From Hone—The Frightened Inmates—Scenes of the Conflagra tion, Etc. This morning about 2 o’clock, fire broke out at the residence of Mr. P. W. Hoyle, at No. 27 Mills street, and within 30 minutes* time the whole building and its contents were in ashes, except a part of its walls, which still remain erect. The fire originated in the roof of the building, and while all the occupants were asleep uncon scious of the danger that they were in, the fire was under such a headway that the popping and r >aring of the flames ALARMED THE NEIGHBORHOOD. The first to discover the fire was an old negro named Garrett, who lived near, and at once see ing the danger that Mrs. Hoyle and her family were in he went to a window and tried to arouse the inmates. Mrs. Hoyle became frightened by the noise at the window and, calling to her daughters, made the remark that a burglar was trying to enter the house, but about this time she beard the old man say that the house was on fire. Mrs. Hoyle aroused the whole family and rushed out in the hall, and just now realized the danger that she and her family were in, as the whole roof was by this time in a light blaze and was falling in. The fact that the flames spread so rapidly and were under such strong headway when the fam ily was aroused made their ESCAPE A NARROW ONE. A reporter called to see 61 rs. Hoyle this morn ing and found her next door to the burned building. She said that the loss was a terrible one to them, and that it was worse on her part on account of Mr. Hoyle being absent from home. Mr. Hoyle is a slock dealer and it will be remembered that he was overpowered by burglars just before Christmas while walking from the East Tennessee depot at night and robbed of fourteen hundred dollars. Mr. Hoyle was in Cartersville last night on a trip for the purpose of buying up cattle, and after the fire was subdued and the excitement had somewhat quieted down, he was telegraphed for and told of the loss, and he will be here this afternoon. There was not a thing saved that was inside the house, not even a garment of wearing ap parel, but the neighbors are doing all they can tor the unfortunate family this morning in the way of KENDKKINU THEM ASSISTANCE. The family are eight in number Mr. and, Mrs. Hoyle and six sons and daughters. One of their bright boys was once employed at The Capitol office. They have been living at the place mentioned since October. Mrs. Hoyle told the reporter that she bad at tributed the origin of the fire to the mischief of white rats that were kept on the place. It is supposed that the rats were playing with matches and set the house on fire. This shows that there is even as much danger in white rats as any other kind, and it is the opinion of the unfortunates that this should be a good lesson for those who keep white or tame rats, and that they should get rid of them. A Capitol reporter asked Chief Joyner why Hie building was consumed and the fire not ex tinguished sooner. LHE CHIEF BAID that no alarm was turned in at all, but that the first knowledge they bad of the fire yas obtained by the boys from No. 3 engine house seeing the fire and then giving the alarm. About the time the firemen discovered the flames in the northern part of the city, some one sent in a telephone message to engine house No. 2, but the boys had already gone to the fire. No trouble was experienced in getting water, which saved the surrounding houses from being burned at the same time. The companies did good work as usual and kept the fire under good control, after reaching the spot. Mrs. Hoyle is very much bothered this morn ing and don’t know what they will do or where they will settle. She doesn’t know exactly what the in surance was but thinks that the losses were almost covered by insurance. Weekly fayiucnla. Eoitok CartTOL: You struck the nail square ly on the bead iu au editorial last week on week ly l lyments to laborers. The monthly pay day lyatein is a relic of bar barism and slavery and obtains only in the South. There is no possible excuse for not paying workmen weekly. Persons in government employ, those work ing for corporations, and salaried officials can get along with monthly payments. Hut it is a hardship to compel the mechanic and day laborer to wait a month for their earn ings. Weekly payments should he the rule every where in the South, the same as at the North, where the workmen look tor, expect and get their wages promptly Saturday evening. Some persona, however, think Monday the best time to pay off', and accordingly pay their men on that day. Hut all over the North the wage worker is paid weeklv, which is just and right. How much better a man feels, how much bet ter he works, when he knows that five o’clock Saturday evening he can step upto the busi ness office and get an envelope with all that is due him in it. Monthly payments force the wage-worker to go in debt and keep him in debt, unless he has been provident enough to have a bank account. Anu there are few me chanics or laborers who have a bank account, or money ahead to lire on for any length of time. Monthly payments are a source of vexation and trouble in many ways, and should be abol ished entirely. The stimulus of weekly payments makes workmen more prompt, more careful, more dili gent. The workman who looks for his nay at the Ist of the next month' and who, perhaps, does not get it until the middle of the mouth, two weeks after it is due, is not apt to feel in a humor to work with diligence, nor is he apt to be io a good humor with the firm. Thus, a house em ploying a number of men, loses money. If the firm is negligent or slow in paying, the men will be slow in working, and time wasted by em ployes is money out of the pockets of the em ployer. Fair wages, promptly paid every week, in sures good workmen and good work. Reverse this rule and the result is plain. Weekly payments will benefit the merchant as well as the mechanic. It is much easier to pay cash, much cheaper to pay cash, for everything purchased by the wage-worker, than to hare a “ monthly, account ” at the store. With weeklv payments the wage-worker can pay as he goes, which is the correct and only right plan of action. Institute the reform of paving workmen week ly, and a great good, beneficial to ti any people, will have been achieved “ The laborer is worthy of his hilt,” and should receive it at the end of the week.

Cotton—The condition of the cotton crop of the State, the comparison being made with an average of fire years, is, in North Georgia, 74; middle Georgia, 78; Southwest Georgia, 79; East Georgia, 73; Southeast Georgia, "0, and the average for the whole State, 75. In North Georgia there is marked improve ment in the crop since the first of July, while in the Southern section of the State it falls con siderably below the prospective condition at that date. In middle Georgia there is but little change—the average for the section falling one point in the last month. For a comparison of the present condition of the crop as compared with that of July Ist, see recapitulation in table No. 1. In southern Georgia the wet weather in the early part of July was followed by a two week’s drouth that did material injury, Since the re ports of correspondents, on which the estimates are based, were forwardod to this office, the rains have been general throughout the Stale, and a decided improvement may be expected during the month. Rust has been noticed in many localities, but no serious damage from this cause has been re ported. The appea-ance of the cotton catter pillar is mentioned in three counties of south west Georgia. They were first observed about July 10th, in the counties of Dougherty and Quitman, and July 14th, in Clay. Corn.—The condition of the crop compared to that ot'an average crop yevr, is, in north Geor gia, 78; in middle Georgia, 93; in southwest Georgia, 94; in east Georgia, 95; in southeast Georgia, 82; and in the whole state, 88. The reports show a slight improvement in the condition of the crop in north and middle Geor gia, and a considerable depreciation in all other sections. The crop on uplands is very generally good, but the season has been unfavorable for low and imperfectly drained lands. That of the river and creek bottoms has been materially injured, and in some localities entirely lost from re peated overflows. To the partial failure on such lands, which are almost entirely devoted to this crop, is due the low per cent in the re ports of this date. Rice—The crop compared to an average is, in the Stale, 93; in Middle Georgia, 85; in South west Georgia, 98; in East Georgia, 94, and in Southeast Georgia, where the lowland crop is principally grown, 96. Sugar Cane—The condition of the crop in the State, compared to an average, is reported at 91. The sections where the crop is planted are as follows : Middle Georgia 95, Southwest Geor gia 93, East Georgia 94, aud Southeast Geor gia 87. Sweet Potatoes—This crop, compared to an average, is in North Georgia 91, middle Geor gia 91, southwest Georgia 98, east Georgia 94, and southeast Georgia 94. The per cent, of prospective yield for the State is about four points below that of an average crop year. Melons—The yield, or prospective yield, com pared to an average, is in North Georgia 54, in middle Georgia 75, in southwest Georgia 83. The average for the State, leaving the estimate for North Georgia, where comparatively few are grown for market, is 79. Tobacco—The condition, cempared to an av erage, is in North Georgia 94, middle Georgia 91, southwest Georgia 100, east Georgia 68, and the average for the State 93. Carlton A Son are stirring the town by their low prices. Their trade, which extends all over the city, continues to grow, and thev are kept busy day in and day out from early morn ’till far into the night delivering groceries, provisions, etc. Many of their customers come from the most remote parts of the city, passing on their wav scores of other grocery stores. This in itself is evidence of their popularity and proof of their wonderful low prices. Verily, Carlton i Son are the Cheap Cash Grocers of Atlanta. CONDENSED CITY NEWS. Last night, Mr. B. N. Blair, aged 18, and Miss Emma Reynolds , aged 17, attempted a Gretna Green affair at the residence of a Mr. Smith, of Jamestown.

Last night the girl skip ped out of the house and meeting Blair, the two hurried away to Mr. Smith’s. 61rs. Reynolds discovered her daughter’s absence and gave chase.

Mrs. Crim, wife of Captain William Crim of the Atlanta police force, is critically ill at her home on Hill street. Mrs. Crim had been in bad health for nearly a year, but was much stronger a few weeks ago'than she had been for months. Several days ago she began to grow worse, and was soon confined to her bed.
