Atlanta 70L. Y. letnal Number Issued To-Day, • 5,800 Actual Number Issued to Subscribers, 5,328 Limited by Capacity of Press. Anyone having an item of personal mention or news happening, will confer a favor by handing it to one of Tn Capitol staff, each of whom wears a silver sac simile of the above signet* Second Edition. To the City Press. The Capitol urgently and kindly asks the city press to lend their powerful influence in making the meeting Friday night at the court bouse a grand success. We earnestly hope they will call repeated at tention to the matter and get out a rousing crowd. The meeting of Friday night is n» scheme of the Capitol. We suggested that it be held at that time so as to give a nucleus on which the people could unite and at the meeting to make their own ar rangements for the future. As to the committees or officers of the pros pective association The Capitol wishes no part, but it will turn its whole assistance and influence helping any plans to success and ma turity. Let not the press divide on this important matter, but come up and lead, if they wish, in making the meeting the grandest success possi ble. Intemperance in dealing with the pro hibition movement is as bad and foolish as intemperance from whisky. Prof. Leon has kindly postponed his rope walking of this week until next Fri day week to give the baseball boys a bet ter chance. Ponce de Leon avenue, now open to the Springs, will be apopular drive, and when graded will be the most delightful around the city. Let everybody go out to every game of the Atlanta-Savannah series. Pay your 50 cents; it will be used by the directors to pay off accrued indebtedness, and will give the baseball business a better chance for next year’s series. Do not grumble at the 50 cents charged for baseball this week. The extra quar ters which will make a neat sum in the aggregate, is badly reeded by the man agement who have not had a financially successful season, and it will not be much felt by each individual. Have you the welfare of Atlanta at heart? Are you thoroughly identified with the city’s interests? Then do not fail to attend the mass meeting at the court house Friday night, for the purpose of organizing a citizens’ manufacturing as sociation. _______ Let every man interested in the city and her welfare go to the meeting Friday night to assist in organizing a manufac turers’ association, which will take a di rect interest in getting new industries to locate here, secure proper legislation and do whatever is necessary for the advance ment ofjndustrial interests. What will the croakers grumble about now. They started in with so many va cant stores that would be thrown on the market, but which have about all been occupied; then they talked and bio wed about Mr. Paul Jones leaving the city, and now he has decided to stay. So what will the grumblers croak about now. That small space north of the artesian well is of no service to anybody. If it is turned into a grassy park at a few dollars expense, with a bright fountain playing constantly, it will be a beauty spot in the center of the city. The fountain will draw the surplus water from the tank, keeping that fresh and cool, and a few settees within the inclosure would be appreciated by every Atlantian. The Ponce de JLeon Squabble. After closely investigating the facts as re gards the stopping of the cars to Ponce de Leon we are of the opinion that both the street rail roads are acting in a very bad manner. Unless Mr. Armstead has an utter disregard for the truth, the street railroads had taken away all of his revenue— and even when the Atlanta line agreed to com pensate him last year, and tickets were given to passengers, he claims that he was paid noth ing. ||As to the [Gate City line, they leased to Col. Starke the pavilion and otter privileges for three years, and after scarcely aiding him to make it anything of a success so far, they stop their cars, thus cutting him off from all revenue altogether. Itis said that Col.Starke will enter suit for damages. If he does the public will sustain him whether the law does or not. For a long time we have seen that the com panies have been apparently putting tbe screws to Mr. Armstead, and while we feel that he is not liberally disposed, yet be owns the spring and it looks entirely reasonable that he should draw some revenue from it. Enterprise and liberality, as well as justice, is a necessity in running a street railroad as well as any ether business and a little of i t right now in the case of the above railroads will do no harm. TELEGRAPHIC Augusta Strike Sett led by Arhitrati.n Associated Press to Capitol.

Taylor put on the market a very large quanti ty of his “PREMIUM COLOGNE,” In 6 ounce bottles to compete with Hoyt’s dol lar size. The peculiar shape of the bottle and the new glass stoppered dollar style of TAYLOR'S COLOGNE making its appearance made this style unsale able as a dollar article. I have recently pur chased about three gross of this cologne from parties in Texas and St. Louis, and offer it at FIFTY CENTS r -"r bottle. Bear in mind that this is Taylor’s Genuine Premium Cologne, nearly four years old and the last on the market. PRICES: S. S. 8., large. .. 99 S. S. S., small 59 B. B.
