It Is understood the most friendly feeling has prevailed between the bond- holder* and the owners of the property. The committee has made a careful ex amination and has found the condition , of the company to be excellent and the .earnings large. . . . ; The books showed that enough had I' been earned to pay the full Interest o“ - 5 per cent on the $4,000,000 first In monies and most of the 6 per cent the $7,000,000 second Incomes with .disbursement In sight for the $4,000,000 . of third Income bonds.

It appears that he hnd grown despondent about hit eropa, the section In which he resided having suffered very much from dry weather. Another cause assigned for bis rash act Is the fact that a year ago he lost his wife and waa left with a large mnnt*or of little Children to rear without the assistance of a mother, lie went Into hls room, seated himself on a l*ed, placed the tnussle of a gun to hls head nud pulled the trigger.

Tea., my brother,, we invite yon, Come to Georgia with your boy. Ilere the climate Is delightful. And the health Is simply fine. Here the Imr room don't detain yon, For we made It leave this dime. We discovered that Ita presence Made our l>oyg very had. And to bear the waiting mothers Made us feel so very and. We decided not to stand It 80 the bar room bad to go; With It went the deadly poison That has made us mighty poor. Georgia's sons today are crying. Tea; I hear the mighty cry. They are proud of their redemption. They are glad the state Is dry. Homes that once were full of terror Where the drunkard used to dwell, Now the dove of peace has entered.

The suggestion of The Georgian, that a telephone commlaalon be appointed to fee that the city 1# furnished with better service, meets with the approval of every member of council seen by a representative of The Georgian Satur day. Complaint, of Service. "The lervlce," said Alderman Qullllan, mayor protem., “Its little short of mis erable, but it Is better now than It has been before. If a telephone commis sion edn Improve the service, by all means let us have lt." Councilman Martin Is heartily In favor of such a commission os sug gested. '“While the officials of the company," he said, "are liberal and always appear accommodating. I certainly cannot characterise the service as prompt. I am heartily In favor of the commission. In fort, I believe In the city regulating and controlling all Its public utilities." Councilman Longtno does not' mince words: "The service Is awful, simply awful. I apt In faVor of a commission—or any thing thnt will Improve the service." Aldermnh Key le heartily In favofl of the nuggostlon: "I think," said the aldermnn, "that the state would have to authorise such a commission, but It certainly would be a splendid law. The council. In addition to getting a greater per cen- toge of the gross receipts, should also fix a maximum rate to be charged for telephones." It was through Alderman Key's op position that action on the franchise was postponed by the aldermanlc board. Otherwise, If would now be finally adopted. J. A. Whltner, of Whltner, Mnnry ft Company, Insurance agents, compll inented The Georgian upon Its position regarding the Southern Bell Telephone Company, and' spoke of the necessity for some method of securing better service. He said: "Some years ago I thought we would have competition and that this would help, but I soon realised that the Bell was too hlg, with Its far-reaching long distance lines, to fear competition from u purely local company. The service la bad now—what may we expect If the company socures a thirty-year fran chise, a monopoly which cannot be taken away from It? The present serv- Ice Is terrible. The central girls are either Indifferent or the system is wrong. It seems Impossible to get a number. Even ‘Information* must be called time and again before you can reach her, nnd the girls seem absolute ly careless and Indifferent to your re quests." H. L. Anderson, of the Anderson Hardware Company, said: "The Bell Telephone service la as poor as they could give and stay In the business. The Georgian's editorial was along the right line, regarding the franchise. The matter should urged." L. J. Daniel, of Daniel Brothers, said: ‘For the past two weeks the service has been going from .bad to worse. It may be caused by things oyer which the company has no control, but It seems to me that it should be remedied. The Georgian's editorial regarding the franchise was splendid. I heartily ap prove of the stand. Atlanta should be on the same footing with Richmond and other cities. In view of the liberal patronuge Atlanta glvea the company, she should share In the profits. The taxation scheme which the company imposes Is ridiculous. The city should lave 3 per cent.” / W. W. Orr, of George Muse ft Co. The Georgian's suggestion about the telephone franchise Is fair and Just. I could hardly say that the telephone service Is satisfactory. I would have to see what other cltlee have before 1 ex pressed an opinion.” "I consider tho service miserable,’ sahl Jacob Eleemnn, of Elstman A Well. "I think It Is due merely to In dllterenc* bn the part of the com pany.' I find the service all right," said L. Watson, manager of the Peaehtree branch of the King Hardware Com pany. Harry Silverman: "The Bell Telephone service Is by no means satisfactory." Ira L. Robison: "I use the telephone as little as pos slble. The many delays and bad con nections make It a source of great an noyance. It Is not what Atlanta de serves." "Worst Evsr Hesrd of.” In tho meat and produce markets on Dread street there Is much complaint. The firms do much of their business over the telephone. "Pink Cherry—"The Bell telephone service Is the worst I ever heard of. Something should be done to remedy It." Coffey—"We get very poor service from the Bell. It means delay and loss of money, loo.” W. J. Speare, of Petropol A Cameron —"The Bell service Is miserable. Some times a 'phone Is almost useless, don't know the cause of tho trouble but whatever It may bo something should be done." Jdhn McCullough, of McCullough Brothers—"We are not getting any thing like the service we should have In the residence districts especially there Is much delay.” A prominent physician said—"I be lieve t lost a regular patient because of the telephone last night. I was at home, but they could not reach me, so sent for another doctor." ANNOUNCE ASSESSMENT OF CORPORATIONS IN 8TATE. Special to The Georgian. Montgomery, Ala..

The Inexperienced will reply that It Is one or another of the great zing Infidelity, brutality, drunkenness or gambling. The experienced—those who hive been there—know better. They knpw that It is not the big things that count so much In matrimony' as the little things, and that more love and happi ness Is jabbed to death by the pin prick, of hateful ways than le ever slain by the sword thrust of crime. It Is a lot easier hnd more comfortable to forgive the partner of your bosom every now and then for doing some thing really wrong than it Is to put up every day and hour with eomo fretting little, habit that stings you like a gadfly at every turn. In spite of the terrifying statistics of the divorce courts most of us are sufficiently well satisfied with our mat rimonial bargain to want to stick to It. Yet married life Isn't as happy as It ought to be. It Is .not the glad, sweet song that we thought It was going to be, and that It might be If only our better half didn't have some aggravating way that Is like a per petual 'pebble In the shoe or cinder In the eye that keeps us Irritated and ner vous.

Twice twenty years have flown and more. Since those who wore and loved the gray Their cherished hopes and cause gave To meet new foes without dismay; Undaunted aye, tho' all seemed fled. Where plenty once her pinions spread, Ah! surely tho' their brave heart, bled To find their hopes and homes de stroyed. Their fields laid waste, their comrades deed. And gone all which they once em Joyed: But such they met and overcame, Hence, hallowed glory crowns their names. And now a happy land Is ours, This fair and sunny Southern land; Her pleasant fields and sacred bowers, Beepekk tho work of noble hands: The hands of those who donned the gray. And who for trial, ne'er gave 'way But, where are those we love eo well, The ones who followed Jackson, Lee? Ah! silvered hair the story tells. For many now have ceased to be; Yet their great burden, well they bore, Ere passed they to the eternal shore. Still, quite a few of that great band Who fought eo hard their cause to save, Are ours still, to grasp, their hand. And greet as bravest of the brave, h; could we e'er their deeds forget, Or the grave problems which they met? No; years will come and pass away, And still their names will honored be— (By those who wore the blue, and gray) Those braves of princely Robert Lee. We'll come to reverence valor true, And honor give where e'er 'tie due. For sure yo know without a doubt That In their hearts burned patriots' zeal. And all they bore In •faith devout, May never to ue be revested; And now we view them bent with age, Yes, proud of such o heritage. THE SOUTHERN MAIDEN’8 REPLY. Beneath the tall magnolia tree.
