A Correction.
Editor Capitol:—ln the article headed “A
Mute Conversation,” in yesterday’s Capitol,
you unintentionally, of course, do a clever fami
ly a slight injustice. I know you will kindly
correct the mistake your reporter has made.
Your very pleasant account of Miss Rogers, of
Sparta, is correct in the main, except this state
ment: “Her parents were not mutes, but all of
their children are.” Os a number of children,
several of whom are dead, Miss Emma is the
only deaf mute. The two brothers mentioned
are in full possession ot the “fire senses;” are
stout, healthy, pretty children, and are now at
home with their recently widowered father.
Having resided with the family two years as a
boarder, I know th* above facts to be true.

MACON BLIND SCHOOL.
INTERESTING IJITKHVIEW WITH
PHOT. W. O. WILLIAMS.
Tie Georgia Academy for lie Blind—A Noble
Ustiiniion of Charily.
A Capitol reporter held an interesting inter
view with Prof. W. D. Williams, yesterday,
who i* the principal of the Georgia Academy for
the blind at Macon.
Prof. Williams was in Atlanta for the pur
pose of gathering children who were blind and
applied for admission into this school.
The reporter was preambulating around in
the Union passenger depot and on entering the
gentlemen’s waiting room he saw a number of
Presently Professor Williams entered the
room and after introducing himself, the reporter
asked to know something about the school and
the prospect for the present session, which
opened on the first of this month.
“We will have the largest class that we ever
had,” said the Professor.
“You are here now getting up pupils, are
you?”
“Yes, I am here to meet some who have
made application. Their people bring them this
far and this afternoon 1 will carry them on to
Macon.”
Just here the Air Line train arrived and as
the Professor expected some blind on it he has
tened off.
In a few moments he walked back into the
waiting room with three other young men, and
the conversation was resumed.
“The blind school at Macon is a charitable in
stitution, is it?”
“Certainly; it is kept up by State appropria
tions, and pupils are ouly required to provide
clothing for themselves; board and tuition come
free."
To hear Prof. Williams tell the good that this
school had done taught the reporter something
that he never knew Before in the line of Geor
gia’s aid for unfortunate’s, and applications for
the entering of pupils are heavier this fall than
they have ever been.
The school is an old one, having been estab
lished years ago, and many who had no educa
tion have acquired one at this place and now
have means of making money.
“How many departments have you in the in
stitute?”
“Well, three principal branches of training.
In one department all branches of the English
language are taught; in another music is
taught, both vocal and instrumental, and in the
third department is taught handicrafts, in other
words the blind are taught here to do all kinds
of mechanical and industrial work.”
“Do you accept all who are blind?”
“Yes; those who are blind only, but they
mast be hopelessly blind.”
“Those making application from other States
will not be admitted into this school, will they?”
“Well, such as that is in the hands of the
trustees, and of course, they sometimes receive
blind people from other States, but ony those
that are absolutely incurable.”
The reporter learned that youths of a bealty
temperament, between the ages 8 and 21 years,
were admitted and the department of handi
craft* will accept old men—not too old—who
with to learn a trade.
A separate building has been put up for in
structing blind negroes the same as whites, but
in no case will they be taught together.
The institution is doing a great good.
HOW AN ANTI TALKS.
A Bed Hot Supporter of the “Un
pledged Ticket” Spenka
Hi* Bind.
Mr. K. T. Allen, the grocery merchant on
Capitol avenue, is well known as an ardent anti
prohibitionist. Mr. Allen is, however, one who
firmly believes he is right, and has no axe to
grind. Whatever may be his doctrines, his mo
tives are good.
Mr. Allen said to a Capitol reporter last
evening that be thought the antis had done re
markably well in the primary election.
“Why so?” asked the scribe.
“Weil, because the Rice supporters had
everything cut and dried and their plans all laid
for several months; and we had ouly a few days
in which to prepare for the tight.”
“W*re Tou not well organized?”
“Yes, for some things, but not for that pri
mary election.”
"n*» Rice’s election a prohibition victory?”
“Well, yes, but it was a mightv poor victory.
I am satisfied that we will wipe them almost out
ot existence at the Mayor's election.”
“Who will be your candidate?”
“0, we can take almost any good tnan and Win
the race.”
This is about the way nearly all the anti’s
talk. They expect to carry the municipal elec
tion without any trouble.
OIL.
1* it or I* It Not an Oily Monopoly
That the people of Atlanta are asked to foster
and sustain ? The Capitol is the conservator
of the people's rights, and the people now ap
peal to their champion. Will you protect us ?
Let me, then, give you the “long and short”
of this whole “oil” question as far as 1 am able
to comprehend it.
The Chess Carley Company have been selling
oil to retailers at a loss for some time. What
was their object in selling at a loss ? To drive
* competitor out of the field. They have suc
ceedea in squelching him, and now, with a mod
esty which surpasses anything in the
way of “cheek” that has ever come
under my notice, ask the retailers to sign a
paper pledging themselves not to sell oil for less
than 20c per gallon. And why? Because the
Chess Carley Co. wishes to make itself “whole,”
for the losses it sustained in driving the com
petitor out of Atlanta and intends to do this by
raising the price to 12,13 or 15c per gallon! Cal
culating very shrewdly if not exactly disinter
estedly, that the public (the consumers) which
means mostly poor people, will, in a short time,
Eny back to the Chess Carlsy Company, all they
ave lost in this noble effort to create a monop
oly in “oil” for Atlanta.
Sustain this, and you will open the door for
other new monopolies. Yon may expect, ere
long, a monopoly in rice and a monopoly in ba
con, a monopoly in meal, a monopoly in coffee
and a monopoly in everything that the poor
man eats or drinks. It it not about time to
stop right hers and say to this Chess-Carley
Company that neither they nor the Standard
Oil Company run this citv and her people? Is
it not time that the people form a co-operative
association with a view to supplyingthemselves
with this great necessary? What say our
friends, the Knights of Labor, to this Jay Gould
pigmy? Yours,
Always for the People.

“A MIXED LAW”

The article in Tuesday morning paper headed,
“A Mixed Law,” showing to some extent what

ness. The bakery, which was an addition to
the business formerly conducted at this place,
is now in full blast, arid the trade which has been

crackers, etc., requires it to be run to its full

OPENING OF THE SEASON.
Wilson & Rankin’* Mammoth Mink
■trel*.
Our theatrical season will begin next Monday
with Wilson & Rankin’s Mammoth Minstrels.
They come this time with an extraordinary
amount of new attractions and a programme
entirely new. They have the good fortune to
introduce to the American public two great Eu
pean celebrities, the “Poluski Brothers” and
“The Pavanelas” who for a whole season have
delighted the Loudon public. The Baltimore
Daily News of last August 17, says:
The opening performance of the season was
given at Ford’s Opera House last night by the
Wilson A Rankin Minstrel Compony, an organ
ization which in genuine talent and versability
stands almost alone upon the highest plane of
excellence. The audience was kept in a state
of constant delight during the entire evening.
The individual performers deserving of special
mention are numerous. George Wilson, in his
peculiar line of business, originated by himself,
IS simply inimit.hle, and Carl Rankin, one of
the prince of minstrels makes, in conjunction
with him, * pair that cannot be beaten. Ran
kin has always been a great favorite. His voice
is excellent, and his wonderful skill in playing
upon all sorts of Instrilfhents and his droll dia
lect would serve to interest and amuse a chronic
hypochondriac. The end-men ot the organiza
tion are remarkably clever, and there was sel
dom any need of a chestnut bell during their
efforts to be funny. The Poluski Brothers and
the Pavanelas are marvelous in their lines and
are alone sufficient to insure the success of the
company. There are many other features
which are worthy of the highest praise.
At Home and Abroad.
