Sunny South Female Seminary.
We copy the following from the Constitution
of Sunday for the purpose of indorsement:
“The announcement elsewhere of the opening
of the Sunny South Female Seminary, under
the conduct of President William B. Seals, will
be read with interest. President Seals during
his long career as an educator has been at the
head of some of the best female colleges in the
South. He is indorsed by many of the best
known men and women in the land, and cannot
fail to secure a large patronage. In his new
venture he will be assisted by an able corps
of teachers. The practical features of the sem
inary, such as phonography, calligraphy, tele
graphy, book-keeping and type-setting, will
commend the institution to many. The Sunny
South Seminary has a good field before it, and
there is no reason why it should not meet with
great success.”
REIRESEN TATIVE JNO. D. STEW
ART.
The action of several counties last Sat
urday has given the Congressional nomi
nation to Judge Jno. D. Stewart.
He will fill the place ably and accepta
bly.
The Capitol has already spoken of his
fitness for the position, his ability, his
character and his high standing. We will
simply add that his influence will be felt
in the National Congress and he will
guard well the interests of the South, his
State and his district.
THE ARTESIAN PARK.
We have heard much favorable com
ment on devoting the small space north
of the artesian well to a park.
As a street it would be of little use, but
as a park with a neat grass plot and in
the center a fountain it would be a nice
breathing spot and add much to the at
tractiveness of the center of the city.
As a meeting place the artesian park
would be a favorite on account of its very
central location. A few seats around the
fountain would render the place very con
venient to any one waiting for street cars
or for strangers who might be in the city
waiting for their train, and for a score of
other purposes.
The fountain, being fed by the artesian
tank, the water would cost nothing com
paratively, and the cool, sparkling water
bubbling up that way would make this
spot cheerful and attractive.
If the council will establish the park,
which can be done at small cost, The
Capitol will undertake to raise enough
money by subscription to buy the foun
tain.
The idea of making a band stand of the
covering to the well seems to be a popu
lar one, and there is no question but that
a brass band playing there three or Jour
times a week would give the city a most
lively appearance.
Let us all stop figuring for the welcome
almighty dollar for a moment and get
these pleasure spots for the public and the
music for their entertainment.

ABOUT THE WEAI'HEK
Yeaterday the Hottest Day of the
Present Tear.
A reporter called on the obliging gentleman
at the signal service office this morning and
quizzed him in the absence of Sergeant Beall
about the vreather.
“Yesterday was the hottest day for this year
up to the present time,” said he.
“And when will we have some rain?” asked
the scribe.
“The indications are for rain within twenty
four hours.”
The reporter learned that the thermometer
stood higher yesterday than at anytime within
the past five years except during the month of
July, 1883.
The following table shows the highest points
each year since the year 1879.
In 1879 the highest register was in July,
which stood 97.
In 1880 the warmest day was in July; the
thermometer stood 94.
In 1881 the highest point registered at 98.
1882 highest register 93—June
1883 “ “ 95—July
1884 “ “ 92—October
1885 “ “ 91—July
1886 “ “ 94—August
The above shows a high temperature. On
yesterday the observation was taken about 1
o’closk, when the thermometer registered at 94.
During the day four observations were taken
—the first at 6 o’clock a. m., registering 75, at.
2 o’clock it registered at 92 and at 9 and 10
o’clock the register stood at 82.
Everybody hopes that the warmest weather
for the year has passed.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA. MONDAY EVENING. AUGUST 16, 1886
ATLANTA HAH A BIG I.EAD,
And Intend* to Keep it—tarannali
Die heartened
Atlanta defeated Charleston again on Satur
day. The game was somewhat tame, and was
won with ease by the home club. They hit
Sullivan hard, and their field work was perfect,
not making an error. Shaffer pitched an easy
game and didn’t exert himself. The game on
the part of Charleston was without life. They
seemed like they didn’t care to play. Perhaps
they are like Savannah, disheartened. Atlanta
made twelve hits to Charleston’s eight The
base running and the two base hits were the
features of Atlanta’s playing.

A gentleman who has seen the Savannah Club
play in Memphis savs that they are disheart
ened and accuses Memphis being in with At
lanta. Why not? Atlanta has stood up io
Memphis in all her troubles, and Memphis has
a great many friends in Atlanta. Memphis is
Atlanta club No. 2, as the Charlestons are Sa
vannah No. 2.
Augusta, Memphis and Nashville wants At
lanta to win the pennant. The others will af
ter awhile.
Mappes is a great catcher.
Memphis and Nashville are playing for the
third place. Atlanta has the first place and
will keep it.
FURCBLL TALKS OF SAVANNAH AND CHARLESTON.
A Capitol reporter found Manager Purcell at
the Kimball house this morning with a copy of
the Charleston News and Courier in his bands,
reading the article headed “An outrageous rob
bery,” and was greatly amused at the manner in
which the Charleston paper was trying to ac
count for the very poor manner in which their
team was playing ball in Atlanta.
The reporter aSKed:
“Why >s it that the Charleston papers are
always writing you up—or down, rather?”
“Well, you see baseball is a new business in
Charleston, and they are rather fresh and seem
to have an antipathy toward every club that
succeeds in defeating their club.”
“Well, have you any doubts about Atlanta
again winning the pennant?”
“Pshaw! you might as well ask me if I
thought the sun was going to rise to morrow.
No one now has any doubts but that Atlanta
will again float the flag, and the truth is, all the
papers throughout the South, except possibly
the Savannah papers, agree that the Atlantas
will have the pennant again this season, and the
Savannahs fail to do so just because they want
to keep a stiff upper lip in order to force their
club up to at least third place when the season
closes.”
“Which team do you consider has the best
base runners, coachers and batters?”
“Why, the Atlanta club by all odds, with the
Memphis club second and the Nashvilles a good
third.”
“Is not the Atlanta club very anxious to have
a series of games with the Savannah club at the
end of the season?”
I understand the Atlanta directors are en
deavoring to get the Savannah directors to come
to some terms for ten championship games for
more than three weeks, but they have not yet
succeeded in getting the Savannah director to
the sticking point.”
In speaking of the base ball reporter of the
Charleston News and Courier Manager Purcell
says that what he does not know about base
ball would till a large volume; that he can ridi
cule and blackguard more unblushingly than
any man he ever saw, and that after writing
him up two or three times he had the gall and
cheek to come up and shake hands with him.
Manager Purcell did not seem inclined to
talk much to-day, as he bad his right eye in the
direction of the right field fence as if contem
plating a home run in that direction this after
noon.
