REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.

401-2 Empire Bldg.
Phones, M. 1067; Atlanta 815
THERE are quite a few people in the city with $100, some
with $200, and others with $250, looking for a lot.
THEY’VE been trapsing and scurrying here, yonder and
there in quest of one. Of course, they’ve seen many
desirable lots, and all that, but—it's not just where they
want it. And the fact is, it’s a little more than they want
to pay—too high-priced. " •
NOW, we’ve just recently acquired, had subdivided and
platted, and are now putting on the market something
over a hundred lots in the Druid Hills section.
THEY are out on Highland Avenue, North Avenue, Sin-.
clair, Lake, Argard. Right in the heart of that grow
ing cottage section, and being built up and occupied by
the substantial, right kind of residents — the ones you’d
like to have as neighbors.
NONE of these lots is less than 50x200. and many are
• much larger. They are well groved, and no few are
ideal sites for a home.
PRICES for these lots range from $350 to $1,350. The
terms should certainly suit you, 1-3, 1-4 or 1-5 down,
and the balance in monthly or annual payments. Now,
to be fair, ask yourself these questions, “Will these lota
ever be any cheaper!” “What section is growing fast
est!” “Is there a more ideal home-building section!”
“Where could you place your money to more advantage!”

T HE SAYS GOES
Recorder Broyles’ Decisions
Are Upheld in Nearly
Every Case.
Begin Crusade For Enforce
ment of State Prohibi
tion Law.
Mobil,, Ala., April 8,—The real en
forcement ot the atate prohibition law
In Mobile began today when warrant*
to aearch the premises ot eleven near-
beer dealers were aworn out and place
In the hands of the eherlff for execu
tion. The affidavits are made by four
foreign detectives, believed to be In the
employ of the Anti-Saloon League. The
warrants provide for searching the
daces and the confiscation of such
leverages as are found In the places.
The warrants were drawn .by Attor
ney Aubrey Boyles, who said that he
was acting In behalf of a committee ot
citlxens.
The action taken has caused an up
heaval among near-beer dealers. It Is
charged by some that the law has been
openly violated, and the step today Is
to enforce the prohibition law in every
respect.

ASK LOWER LOG RATE
Savannah Company Wants
Reduction.
The application of the Plerpont
Manufacturing Company, of Savannah,
for a lower rate on logs shipped from
points within this atate. came up for
a hearing before the railroad commis
sion Thursday and was taken under
advisement.
The manufacturing company claims
that the rate on hardwood logs used In
the niarufacture of peach and canta
loupe crates Is excessive and amount*
to more than 33 1-3 per cent of the ac
tual value of the shipments.
The ilea til wilt Mice In never m tried out
in Greece until au Interval of two years
has eXVired.
As n general rule. Recorder BroyT
has been upheld by the.superior court
In his verdicts and sentence* In liquor
caaea at the present certiorari term.
Only four of these cases were heard,
Recorder Broyles was sustained In tw*
overruled In one and one case was cor
tlnued. ‘ The case which wA* adverse
to the recorder wa* that of \V. E. Cook,
who was given a new trial purely on
the technical ground that It did not Ap
pear from the record that the offense
had been committed In Atlanta. In the
cases of Mike Lyons, who- wa* sen
tenced to thirty day* In the stockade,
and Charles Alexander, who was fined
$500, the recorder was upheld. The case
of Will Walker, who was sentenced t<
thirty days In the stockade, was or
dered to bo heard by a Jury, as there
Is some dispute a* to what occurred at
the trial In the recorder** court.
These four cases will be the only
certiorari causes to be heard ut this
term, unless by consent.
AUDITORIUM GETS
FINISHING TOUCH
Preparing the Big Building
For Opening Early in
May,
Sound* of hammer* and saxva and of
voices raised In authority fill the great
hall of the Auditorium.Armor}', while
thousands of opera chairs are taking
places as by magic in the circling tiers
and the broad, darwood floor la going
down In sections.
May 4 Is drawing nigh, but there Is
no doubt that the finest auditorium In
the South will be ready to receive the
crowds attracted by the music festival
which begins on that date.
Tile work Is being pushed, to the
limit. One gnng of workmen la en
gaged In uncrating the chairs as they
aye received at the building, another
body assembles them, while a third di
vision affixes them to the rows In the
tiers previously designed. The stage
1s already completed, even to the foot
light fixtures.
■ Around the lowest row In the ampht
theater, the boxen are conveniently ar
ranged—neat, solid, substantial affairs,
entered from the rear and partitioned
off by latticed Iron work.
The ascent to the tiers ot seats and
to the balcony Is arranged In a series
of broad, commodious passageways,
sloping gently, and enabling the trav
eler to the balcony to reach his destl
nation with -scarce more effort than
walking on level ground. Visitors dur
ing the process of construction and
completion have frequently commented
on the extreme stability and workman
like manner In which the whole plan
of the auditorium has been Resigned
and carried out.
Even In the matter of decorations,
festoons of bunting are already waving
from the lofty girders—a hint of the
expected glory which will burst upon
the multitude at the opening In May.

SECOND BIG POWER DAM
IS TO BE CONSTRUCTED
Jackson, Ga, April 8.—That Georgia
Is soon destined to have the greatest
water power development of any other
state In the South la shown by the
fact that In addition to the large dam
being built across the Ocmulgee river
eight miles from Jackson, which will
when completed generate 20,000-horse-
power of electricity. Immense dams
will be built on the Flint and Oconee
rivers. ' The Central Georgia Power
Company of Macon, which Is construct
ing the large dam near here, will also
build the dams across tile Oconee and
Flint rivers. The dam on the Oconee
river will he located near Mllledgevllle
and will be by far the largest water
power plant In the South, and will
generate. It Is given out. 45,000-horse-
power. The dam to be built across the
Flint river will be located near Rey
nolds In Taylor county and will be one
of the largest plants ln the South. Work
on the Utter plant will begin within
the next 30 days.
Five Hundred Men at Work.
The money to be spent In water
power construction, the power to be
generated, the development that will
follow almost stagger belief. Yet In
solid and material form one of the
greateet chapters in the South's his
tory Is being dally written. Nearly five
hundred men are at work on the 53,-
000,000 dam near Jarkson. This will
be completed by the first of. January.
1810, and will then be ready to distrib
ute power to middle and central Geor
gia. Twenty thousand horsepower will
be turned loose In the mills and fac
tories and will be used for lighting the
streets and homes of Macon. Monti-
cello. Forsyth. Griffin and Jackson, and
will be used to operate the trolley line
from Macon to Atlanta. Work on this
ipterurban line will be taken up within
the next few weeks. The money Is In
sight and about nil the preparations
made for the work to begin.
To Spend 336,000,000.
total of 536,000,000 will he spent
water power development within
the state of Georgia within the next
few months, according to officials of the
Central GeorglA Power. Company. And
there Is plenty of capital Behind the
movement to carry It to a rapid suc
cessful completion. Interested In the
Central Georgia Power Company are
aome of the strongest financial Inter
nets In the United States and Canada.
Among the number may be mentioned
A. B. Leach ft Co, of New York; J. E.
Aldred, of Montreal, vice-president of
Hhawlnlgln Water and Power Compa
ny; H. 8. Holt, of Montreal, largely In
terested In Canadian Pacific rallroada
and one of the wealthiest men In Amer
ica. his wealth being estimated at 3200.-
000,000; F. B. Scheck. of New York,
president of the Liberty National Bank;
J. I. Buchanan, of Pittsburg, president
of the Pittsburg Trust Company, and a
score of other wealthy men of New
York, Boston, Pittsburg, Chicago. Mon
treal and other cities In the North and
Eaat.
Great Operations.
It Is mated that the plant to be built
on the Flint river will generate enough
power to supply southwest Georgia,
Albany. Amerlcus, Bainbridge and oth
er towns, while the plant on the Oco
nee, near Mllledgevllle, In Baldwin
county, will furnish power to all east
ern Georgia and the power plant near
Jackson will supply power to Atlanta,
Jackson, Macon, Montlcello, Griffin.
Forsyth and all middle Georgia points.
Such a chain of power plants In one
state were never heard nf before. Fol
lowing In the wake of this development
will he numberless trolley and Inter-
urban lines that will connect almost
every part of the state. Already plans
are complete for the building of the
line from Atlanta to Macon via Griffin
From Macon a line will be run to At
bany and other points In the fertile
southwestern pari of the state. An In-
terurban line from Macon to Indian
Springs, the state's famous health re
sort, and on to Jackson Is considered
and will eurely be built as soon aa the
power Is available.
Many Industries Planned.
The development that will take place
as a result of cheap power Is too great
for belief—almost beyond the power.o"
the mind to conceive. Every day East
ern and Northern promoters are writ
Ing and asking about sites for facto
rles. President W. J. Massee, of the
Central Georgia Power Company, states
that hla company Is flooded with let
ters from people In tne East anxious
to move their plants here or put up
new plants to take advantage of the
cheap power. A 3260,000 cotton mill
ha* been promised for Montlcello, the
stocksalready having been taken, 312.-
000 of which was taken by Mr. Massee
himself.
Rushing Work on Dam.
number of new enterprises are
spoken of for Jackson. After the heavy
rains of the last few weeks, work Is
being rushed on the big dam near here,
A email army of men Is working night
and day to harness the powers ot the
river. The dam la being built In 45-fOot
sections. The fourth section Is now-
being built. These sections will be
built to a height of 30 feet, and will
extend acroes the river and will then
be raised to their final height of 100
feet. The dam will be more than 1.200
feet In length, will be 100 feet high
nnd will be 93 feet at the base and 8 or
9 feet at the crest. A minimum of 16,
090-horsepower and a maximum
from 28,000-horsepower to 23.000-horse
power trill be generated.
Second Great Dam.
The work Is » great undertaking.
Many people thought It would be 1m
possible to build the dam across ,
stream the size of the Ocmulgee river.
Others believed the unnual spring rains
would sweep all the work away: The
foundations are built firmly In the
river, the base going 16 feet below the
bed of*the river, which Is of rock.
The dam on the Ocmulgee river will
be the largest In the state. The one
on the Oconee river will make It look
Insignificant. The dam near here will
back water 14 miles up the river and
will cover 3,000 acres of land, which
has been bought at an average price of
520 per acre. The Oconee dam will
cover 12.000 acres. It Is snld.
Night and Day Forces.
Every bit of underbrush will be
cleared away from the reservoir be
fore the water Is turned on. A total
of 150 men are engaged In clearing
away the undergrowth up the river that
will be covered In water to a depth of
several feet. This will make a very
large basin of water and will be almost
Ideal for boating and steam and naph
tha launches. It Is the desire of the
contractors. Lane Brothers ft Co., of
Danville, Va.. to complete the work by
January 1 of the new year. To this
end they are working, and a night forco
takes turn with a day force.
“WILDERNESS OF FLOWERS”
FOR FLORIDA LEGISLATORS
Tallahassee, Fla., April 8.—Never be
fore has the Florida legislators had
such a beautiful floral tribute presented
to them as did they upon the opening
of the session Tuesday. The Indies of
the W. C. T. U„ Woman's Club, T. 1. A.
and other clubs had the speaker!' tables
decked with magnificent pillows of
roses and panseys. and each member of
both houses had an Individual bouquet
of roses upon their dpsk*.
The press correspondents were not
neglected, and their tables were cov
ered with the rich flowers of middle
Florida. Besides this great display of
flowers, the ladles themselves, with the
student body of the Florida Female
College, graced the galleries. Every
seat was taken by a lady, and the men
had to hunt standing rootn. This great
demonstration Is an evidence of the
earnestness of the ladles of Florida to
carry the great old stale '‘dry.’’
The message of Governor Albert W.
Gilchrist wa* received. Notable among
his recommendations Is that the gov
ernor can not run for the office of
United States senator or congressman
while serving his term as governor. It

If You Delay Grady Ambu
lance You May Be
Pinched.
The official* of (he Grady
have been greatly annoyed lately by
the unnecessary delay' of tin- ambu
lance while on emergency call*, caused
by r the unwllllngnes* of cab and dray
driver* to give them the right of way.
It ha* often been the case that the
ambulance* have had to come to a
standstill because the street was bio* le
aded by cab* and wagon.", whose,
driver*. In spite of the loud ringing
the gong, made but little effort to clear
the pasHOge. Under the law the am
bulance ha* right of way over all other

STERN U. S, COURT
CAN'TJAKE A JOKE
Case Against Boy Black
Hand Writer Probably
Will Be Pushed.
At the customs house Thursday
morning there was considerable dis
cussion concerning the case of Daniel
W. Johnson. Jr., the youthful Black
Hand essayist, who has confessed to an
attempt to extort $35,000 from Asa G.
Candler, of Atlanta.
There was some talk of the youth
and apparent irresponsibility of the
prisoner as mitigating circumstance*,
but the consensus of opinion seemed to
be that the case, now In the hands of
tho government, could not result other
wise than In on Indictment before the
Federal grand Jury and subsequent trial
In the federal court, on the charge of
using the malls In an attempt to de
fraud. The next session of the federal
grand jury begins April 29
The offense with which young John
son Is charged Is punishable In the fed
eral court by Imprisonment for a term
"f nut exceeding eighteen months, ot* *
fine of not more than $600, or both, at
the discretion of the court. These araf
* hi* maximum sentonre* for each of
fense.
Mr. Cnndl.T h;t« announced that he
doe* not purpose to prosecute the case
In the state court*, so that the present
statu* of tlm matter Is purely tin* case
of the government for misuse of the
mall*. Whether or not the youth' of the
defendant will operate In hi* favor in
case of conviction Is problematical. It
Is understood, however, that tin* prose
cution of the government will be pushed
‘without any regard for anything save
the evidence In hand.
At a preliminary hearing before Com
missioner Colquitt Wednesday after
noon. Johnson's bond was fixed at $1.-
000, which \\a* Signed by S. A. Wil
liam*. of Atlanta. Johnson was at once
!'«-l*upow| from custody. At the prelim
inary hearing Johnson, thru his father,
waived examination.
