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.

TUB EVENING CAPITOL: ATLANTA. HA. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, tBB6 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?

Yesterday, in the Superior Court, the case of Mrs. Thompson vs. The Central Railroad, damages, was concluded, and the jury, after be ing out several hours, awarded the lady one thousand dollars. Mrs. Thompson’s busband was killed at Whitehall street crossing in the first part of 1884. Mrs. Nancy Greer, an old lady who has been living with her son Thoma- Greer, on Brick street, died yesterday morning after an illness of three weeks. Mrs. Greer was sixty-four years old and was a member of the Baptist church.

The article in Tuesday morning paper headed, “A Mixed Law,” showing to some extent what can and cannot be sold on Sundays in our city has caused considerable comment. A Capitol reporter met Mr. Little this morn ing and was shown through his place of busi 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 acquired for their tine home-made bread, cakes, crackers, etc., requires it to be run to its full capacity.

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.
