Dead Georgian Talks W ith Chaloner
"HELL ENJOYABLE PLACE”
ALEXANDRIA, VA„ Aug. 5.— ‘ Here is a spirit message I have
| received from Hell," said .John Armstrong Chaloner to a party of
i newspaper men. showing them a sheet of legal cap paper on which
appeared a lot of writing in blue pencil.
"I received it while in bed the night of July 30. It came from
: I nele Tom Thomas Jefferson Miller, formerly a naval officer, and a
I Georgian," he continued.
Here are some of the most interesting paragraphs from the
message;
‘ Hell. Tuesday, 6:22 p. m., July 30, 1912.—Y0u are not to begin
this until dark,’’
‘ All good sports enjoy it in hell.’’
“My dear boy, you don’t know how happy I am that the hour
has at last struck in which lam permitted by His Satanic Majesty to
lift a corner of the veil which separates the living from the dead.’’
“ 1 am standing against the wall looking toward the fiery throne.
I pon said throne sits Satan. His features are precisely those of
Napoleon Bonaparte at lhe apex of his power. He is dressed precisely
in the costume of Michael Angelo's statue entitled “The Thinker’’
placed over the tomb of the Medici in Florence. The hall of audi
ence is miles long, miles wide and miles high.
“The hall of the audience is rubies."
“In place of mortar we have diamonds, broken every few
inches by several inches of sapphires." continued the spirit in hell.
“The floor of the hall is of marble. The roof is of crystal."

Macon ring and the lawyers were op
posed to him. and his optimism brought
him applause. Mr. Cooper outlined his
platform, which includes a tight on the
high tariff, the building of postoffice
buildings throughout the Sixth district,
Federal aid in building public roads and
the election of all judges by the people.

LIVELY BIDDING FOR
GRANT PROPERTY ON
PEACHTREE EXPECTED
The announcement of the public auc
tion of the L. P. Grant property. 65
Peachtree street, corner of Auburn ave
nue. has set real estate agents and in
vestors to talking about the probable
purchaser. The fact that Ed Inman
owns the adjoining lot and that he is
not averse to purchasing central prop
erty has made many believe that he will
be the buyer. Asa G. Candler's name
also is mentioned.
That south Georgia capital is inter
ested in Atlanta real estate is shown
by the presence of two capitalists of
that section who have spent today in
Atlanta looking over the deeds to the
property. These men decline to have
their names connected with the prop
erty as yet, but do not deny that their
money will be offered when the lot Is
auctioned off at 10 o’clock tomorrow
morning.
Just what the lot, which has a 27-
foot frontage on Peachtree street end
runs back 125 feet on Auburn avenue,
will bring even Steve Johnston, the auc.
tioneer. declines to predict. The build
ing standing on it is now leased by the
United Cigar Company and the lease
has over a year longer to run.

A SALE OF LACES
In Which HALF-PRICE Plays An
Important Part
Tomorrow morning when the store opens at
8 o’clock we begin a day’s selling of laces at ex
actly half their regular prices.
And they are such wanted laces as these—
Venise edges, insertions, bands, points and
medallions.
Net top edges and bands.
Shadow edges and bands.
Ratine bands.
Filet bands.
All of these in cream and white and in varying
widths from the very narrow, to the wide and
handsome edges and bands for dress and suit
trimmings. They were until now priced from 25c
to $2.00. The half-price of tomorrow is due to the
fact that they are somewhat soiled, and that this
is a clearance, a putting in order of the lace stock.
However, you will find many match sets and in
lengths to meet any of your needs.
Better laces—from the viewpoint of patterns,
of style, you may judge from the names that they
are the wanted kinds, have not been shown in
Atlanta this season.
Smart women will buy them in quantities! For
quantities are here; quantities in which quality
dominates.
So come in the early morning and make your
selections leisurely and carefully while the day is
still cool.
