What will Atlanta offer? The Cutting case is undergoing great diplomatic changes, probably. At least it lias retired lor the time from the public gaze. Patrolman “Jumbo” Hunter is one of most valuable officers the city has, and saves it hundreds of dollars in license, etc., each month. The howling dogs of some neighbor hoods of the city are a nuisance. People who keep a dog that howls at night to the discomfort of the neighbors should be made to pay liberally for it. 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. CAPITOL CRAYONS.

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. Abv. i 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.
