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!” J.

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.

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.
