AN INVITATION.
We invite the reader to take a walk with
us for the purpose of looking through our
business houses to see what proportion of
their extensive and well assorted stocks
are of Georgia, or Southern production.
Taking first our several large and well
stocked hardware stores —how much d«
we find of Southern or Georgia produc
tion? Hardly one tenth of one percent.
These houses sell large quantities of hard
ware to northern and northwestern Geor
gia, a large per centage of which is worn
out upon the iron ore lying loose upon their
hillsides.
Their hills are full of the golden iron
that has made Pennsylvania the richest
State in the Union.
Next we visit our furniture warereome.
Here we find a great variety of furniture
from the commonest, such as the poor
man is compelled to buy, to the finest and
most elegant in design and finish that the
wealthy alone can purchase. Where are
these goods manufactured? Where are
the factories with their wealth-creating
machinery and hundreds of intelligent
artisans, whose taste and skill wrought
tliese marvels of artistic design and com
fort? Not in Georgia, not in the South.
They are found on the rocky hillsides of
Massachusetts and the bleak prairies of
Michigan and Illinois. True, they have
no suitable woods, but they send down to
the hill country and mountain slopes of
West Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia,
Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ar
kansas, and gather up the choicest speci
mens of our forests, ship them a thousand
miles to their factories, fashion them, and
return them to us for a market.
Now we pass on to our dry goods houses,
wholesale ami retail. What do we find
hereof home production? Nothing save
a little of sheetings and shirtings of the
coarser grades, not a thousandth part of
their magnificent stocks. True, we find
an infinite variety of goods, both plain and
fancy, manufactured from cotton grown in
Georgia, at or below cost to the producer,
but manipulated at a profit to the manu
facturer, who has long since grown rich.
Next we visit our boot and shoe houses.
Here we find large uttx’ks of boots and
shoes, from the heavy brogan for the
laborer, to the delicate French slipper of
the society belle. What percentage do we
find here of Georgia or Southern manufac
ture? None —not a dollar.
True, the hides from our slaughter pens
are transported a thousand miles to the
tanneries of Massachusetts and central
New York, there converted into leather
with the tan-bark gathered from the
mountain slopes of the Southern States,
and it in its turn transported to the North
ern States, the leather manufactured into
boots, shoes and harness, and thus our
lades returned to us with a half a dozen
profits that has made each participant
rich.
Next our hat stores. Here we find every
variety in stock, all from New Jersey and
New York, from the elegant Stetson to
the commonest ten-cent straw. Not a
dollar here of Georgia production.
We pass on to the clothing stores. Here
again we look in vain for anything in the
line of home production. Hats, boots,
shoes and clothing all imported. Depend
ing upon our own production, we would
l>e clothed in nakedness, as naked as we
came into the world.
We pass on to the millinery establish
ments, the earthly paiadise of the fair
sex. Not a dollar here of Georgia values.
We drop into the drug stores. Not a
dollar here unless it be a few Southern
productions in the shape of patent medi
cines. Not a chemical laboratory south
of the Potomac or Ohio rivers, save the
few connected with strictly private enter
prises .
Next we visit our book stores. Here we
find a few, a very few, works edited and
printed in the South. The paper, pens,
ink and a thousand and one articles found
upon their shelves, are all imported.
We visit our jewelry establishments.
Not a dollar here of our own manufacture.
All imported.
Next we visit our queensware houses.
All imported, although the South has the
finest of clays. Our nearest approach to
the SIB,OOO “peach blow vase” is the
common jug—ten cents per gallon; and
we even import largely of this anti-prohi
bition argument.
We visit our carriage and wagon reposi
tories. Here we find a large stock of car
riages from Northern factories, as well as
an ample supply of Ohio, Indiana and
Michigan wagons.
True, we have a slight interest in them,
our Southern forests having furnished a
large per centage of the choice timber in
them.
We visit our groceries, wholesale and
retail. We find the wholesale houses
stored with western meats and flour, and
imported fancy and canned goods. We
do not find any considerable percentage of
Southern production in their stocks. Our
retail houses make a fine display of North
ern fancy shelf goods. A little fruit, a
few vegetables, eggs and chickens com
prise their home stock, even a large per
centage of this being imported. As an
illustration of our enterprise and thrift,
we may state that it is no uncommon
thing to see our farmers hauling Michigan
cabbage and Connecticut canned goods
(fruits) from the city to their homes. They
are down with the universal Southern ep
idemic, viz.: cotton on the brain. We
live, breathe and have our being in cotton.
We make our last visit to our railway
shops. With suitable buildings and ma
chinery, they should build their own loco
motives and cars. Not so; they import
them. Our Southern railways send mil
lions of money abroad annually that
ought to be kept at home to help those
who patronize and sustain them.
Now, my friend, we have gone the
rounds and got to the bottom facts. What
do you think of the situation?
What do you think of the policy of send
ing these millions abroad, leaving our
young men without employment?
What do you think of this policy of en
riching others, when by a change we can
enrich ourselves?
We claim a commerce of $100,000,000
per annum for Atlanta. One half of this
amount, or $50,000,000, is in the form of
manufactured goods, every dollar of which
should be produced in Atlanta.
This would give us a population of 150,-
000, and increase our present valuation
tenfold.
THE EADIES KHOII.D PAT.
We think that in view of the past liberal
and unstinted generosity of the baseball
management that the ladies should pay at
the Atlanta-Savannah games.
The season financially has been so bad
that the club is in debt. It would be
nothing but right now for the ladies to
contribute their quarter and by their lib
eral attendance show their appreciation
of the amusement.
The organization of a club next year de
pends much upon the financial success of
the coming games. Let all tian out, ladies
and gentlemen, and fill the depleted treas
ury and give the game a lift.
HOW SAD TO contemplate:.
The great New York Sun in a length}'
labored editorial has concluded that
Cleveland cannot be re-elected in 1888.
That must be a terrible blow to Mr. Cleve
land. The Sun thinks that “as the case
now stands, we can discover but little rea
son to suppose that Mr. Cleveland is likely
again to be a Democratic candidate for the
Presidency. Yet as an English poet hath
it:
We are living, we are moving,
Ina grand and awful time.
“Between August, 1886, and August,
1888, lots of political surprises may be in
store for us ; and nevertheless human na
ture will remain essentially the same.”
ATLANTA MARKET “LIVE
STOCK.”
"There is a fair supply of horses (West
ern) on the market.” “The supply of
mules is limited.” “Horses $65 common,
to |350 for fine.” “Mules $125 to $170.”
Horses and mules can be raised by
Georgia farmers at a cost at from S4O to
SSO per head. They are paying from 100
to 600 per cent, more for Western stock
than it would eost to raise them.
And they complain of hard times!
TH *7 first hale.
The first bale of cotton is announced
annually with a flourish of trumpets.
The first bale of Georgia-raised hay is
yet to be heralded.
The first bale from Indiana, oriather
the first train load, needs no announce
ment, for it is of daily occurrence.
A compliment to Georgia farmers.

THE EVENING CAPITOL: ATLANTA, GA. TUESDAY. AUGUST 17,
ATLANTA INTEREST.
In Harmony There i. Unity.-In tni.
ty There is St rength--All To.
ffether.
In 1879 while writing for a country paper, your
correspondent made a prediction in an article
that in ten years from that time Atlanta
would have 75,000 inhabitants, and it was done
honestly and without hesitation.
Now to prove that I was not alone in what
now proves to have been extravagant figures,
one of Atlanta’s best dailies copied part of the
said article with comments sustaining what now
proves to be the imagination of the brain; any
way, it was a wild prediction.
Now if we will go back seven years we will
find Atlanta rapidly growing and being pushed
forward by her citizens, all acting in harmony
and in perfect unity for a common benefit—the
growth of our city. And while Atlanta was
taking such rapid strides our neighbors with
capital were feverish to invest and many did
make investments in Atlanta dirt. One man
advised with the writer and thought of putting
a large amount of idle capital in Atlanta real
estate for renting.
All this energy and push made a power that
was astonishing to the neighboring cities, and
they looked on with perfect wonder, many mov
ing here and catching in a short time the quick
step of our rapid movements and joining hear
tily in the common work of pushing up and on
ward, every man going in one direction and act
ing in perfect unity. While all this enterprise
was under headway, our sister cities were on a
standstill, many of thorn not moving at all.
How is it to-day? While they were limped
and sluggish they were watching Atlanta and
learning that her prosperity was at their ex
pense and no doubt learned a lesson from us
that will (if Atlanta do not bestir itself and
concentrate all of its power again in perfect
uuity for hard work) be greatly beneficial to
them at our expense.
Look at Columbus. It has now the building
fever and many are making wild predictions
concerning her future, and her
improvement is in the right direction
and is healthly and permanent.
But every dollar in manufacturing interest Co
lumbus gets from abroad is Atlanta’s loss.
Take Athens, the little town over in the hills;
at the expense of Atlanta, Athens is booming
away up into a wholesale center, and many a
dollar that through a natural course of thought
seven years ago belonged to Atlanta, is going
to Athens.
Take Macon. Seven years ago she was as
sluggish as the river that runs through the
limits, but to-day at our expense she is on a big
boom and is wild in prices and future specula
tions, and if something is not done, will con
tinue to gobble upjour territory until some of
our wholesale men will have to move there to
propagate their interest.
What is the cause? Where is the trouble?
Is it in a division of sentiment that has blunted
the energy of our live men? or is it the natural
result of our people, believing that our city was
an assured fact and that her growth was
a certainty, and through careless
ness the unity with its hercu
lean power was broken and the load got too
heavy for the few who were left pushing, and to
their honor be it said, are doing all in
power to-day, but where there is no unity there
is no strength.
Together we rise,
Divided we fall.
This is a very unpleasant article to write, but
these are stubborn facts, that are staring us in
the face every day, and while these other towns
and cities named we might as well include
Chattanooga and Birmingham are prospering
as they never prospered before what
are we doing. Os course Atlanta is not on a
standstill. Far from it, for when it gets there
It will start backwards, and there are many nice
buildings going up in different parts of the city.
But are the people alive to her permanent pros
perity? Are they wide awake to her material
interest? Only a few days ago Birmingham
voted $50,000 to get a college to locate there and
that little town has pulled many a dollar of
manufacturing capital by meeting them half
way.
Dame fortune helps those who help them
selves. What is Athens doing offering $35,000
for a school that by all means should be loca
ted in Atlanta, and another larger amount for a
railroad that would have come to us but for the
lack of Unity. Why that college would be
worth more to the prosperity of our city than all
the gas stock combined. And the Georgia
Midland belonged to Atlanta and should have
been built bv our city, possibly allowing
Columbus to take a portion of the
stock, but the road ought to have been officered
and run by Atlanta.
And not only in this is there a lukewarmness,
but our institutions at home should receive our
patronage and encouragement, and capital
should be invested in such away that the man
ufacturer would feel easy. In some way meet
them half way; don’t tax them in say tire
years.
Just a year ago we lost a corset concern that
worked a number of hands—and by the way I
was in the home factory in Canada
while the branch concern was here,
and with the proper encouragement and
and patronage from our people they would have
been here to-day largely increased and eventu
ally would have built on a large scale, for they
have plenty of capitol, and have by far the larg
est works of the kind in Toronto, I ever saw,
and the head of the firm said they wanted an
other and prefered the South, and Atlanta
seemed the livest place.
Now, what can be done? Let us see.
Ist. Make a bid that will get the school.
2. Build the railroad to Hawkinsville.
3. Pass a law not to tax a new factory for five
years.
Unite as in the good old days and let every man
feel a common interest in the city and her gov
ernment. This, above all, is abaplutely neces
sary, and when it is done all the others are easy.
Then, and not till then, will Atlanta attract
the attention of the capitalist, and our streets
will continue to go up in solid masonry and our
limits will expand and Atlanta will again move
forward and upward in her ceaseless onward
stride to 75,000, yea, 100,000 inhabitants and our
council will not longer hesitate to build
a public market, a first-c'sss central depot
and have city laws respecting crossings and
deathtraps, and make every train back into a
depot worthy the respect and admiration of
visitors to a city.
Suppose every man throw aside his politics,
bis differences on local laws, his selfishness
financially, his individual opinions and his per
sonal feelings, and let a rousing meeting—an
old-time mass meeting—be held to consider
these questions, which are nf vital importance
right£i< w to ourjctty.Who will aid the movement
and who will be the first to throw aside all dif
ferences and propose to meet on common ground
to push forward the interest of Atlanta.

THE NEW ARTILLERY COMPANY.
Organized at tbe l ibrary Room** of
the Capitol East Night.
Quite a large number of Atlanta’s best citi
zens assembled at the Library rooms of the
State capitol last night at 8 o’clock to perfect
the organization of of a new artillery company.
Col. J. F. Jones was called to the chair and Mr.
Forbes requested to act as secretary.
The list of names who had proposed joining
was read and showed a force of near fifty, the
most of them being present.
Several prominent men spoke of the necessity
of a good artillery company and all seemed to
be highly enthused over the prospect!, so many
being present.
The plans which they would think best to
pursue were discussed and talked of at random.
The discussions were brief and many, each of
them laying before the meeting their ideas.
Tbe meeting was a friendly one and all took
an interest, having something to say.
The following committees were appointed: j
On organization—Messrs. Amos Fox, M. A.
Hardin, T. M. Ferris, George T. Fry, George B.
Forbes, and T. E. Maddox.
On guns and equipments —Messrs. J. F.
Jones, Grant Wilkins, M. L. Liehenstadt, R. E.
Sibley, E. T. Shubrick, and G. T. Hardeman.
On uniforms—Messrs. W. C. Phelps, A. I.
Branham, F. L. Haralson, M. B. Torbett, M. T.
LaHatte, and J. N. Courtney.
On armory—Messrs. W. H. Chase, J. T. Law
son, L. D. Lowe, J. D. Hardin, A. L. Dearing
and John W. Woodruff.
It was decided to hold a meeting on Monday
night, August 30th, to complete the organiza
tion.
HOW PEOPLE LOOK.
Tbe Strange Effect* of Hot Weatber
••A New Racket.
And when its hot they teel oh! my,
As it their time had come to die.
It is strange how some people act in hot
weather. You may see an old man, poor as a
crow, with a face as long as a loaf of Vienna
bread, talking about this being the hot
test weather he ever saw in his life,
and so on. The next man you meet may be
about 250 pounds avoirduposis weight; he is
seated in his chair fanning himself for all he is
worth, and the more he fans the worse he per
spires, and his collar wilts as if it had been
ducked in a tub of water.
He says he hopes that it will let up soon or
be will melt away. As time andspace is limited
we must cut this off short, but first
we must not fail to simply state that
though it is hot indeed, and in
truth the red hot cheap cash grocery firm of
Carlton k Son are still selling their staple and
fancy groceries, provisions, fruits, stock feed,
etc., as cheap as ever, and are making it hot for
competition all over the city.
Rig Base Hall Game*.
To-morrow the great Savannah team will
reach Atlanta and will try to defeat the Atlanta
Champions four straight games. Tbe pennant
race turns on these games, and in view of this
fact tbe railroads have consented to sell round
trip tickets.
Every citizen of Atlanta appreciates the gen
erosity of the Atlanta directors, and will gladly
give fifty cents to help out the champions.
Ladies will be charged regular admission, as
no charge has been demanded of them for three
years. The game will be called at 3:30, and
those desiring good seats should go early.

CINCINNATI SUN.
The city government of New York is,
with the possible exception of Cincinnati,
the most corrupt in the country. Mayor
Grace is smirched in the Iquire and Flynn
and Thompson scandal!, and, like Oaky
Hall, he may have to seek foreign shores
to keep himself out of the penitentiary.
SAVANNAH TIMES.
Industrial publications are multiplying
throughout the South, and most of the
