Complaint after com plaint has been made to the city con struction department, but no relief has been given. Now they assert they are living in a pond which increases with each shower. The sewers are declared to lack the capacity to carry off the water, es pecially after a rain of any consider able duration. After Friday’s downpour L. A. Witherspoon, Jr., of 490 Gordon street, asserted that the water stood three feet deep for nearly 100 feet around his lot.

Atlanta, Ga. *•’ How a Georgia Tech Man Made Good “THE MAN WHO KNOWS” A few years ago they were building a skyscraper in At lanta. Hydraulic elevators were being installed. Something had gone wrong and the elevators wouldn’t run. she contrac tor was at his wit's end. No one knew what the trouble was. Somebody suggested sending to Georgia Tech for a man to -help out. Well, they sent a level headed young man from Tech, one who had been trained along the line of hydraulic engineer ing. He remedied the trouble, and got the elevators to going. On being offered a .job by the contractor, the young man—a Georgia boy from Baldwin county—refused until he com pleted his work at Georgia Tech. “If you need me later on. send for me,’’ he said—and they did. To make a long story short, that young man is now the vice president of the Otis Elevator Co.. New York city, with a big salary attached. It is the same old story—THE MAN WHO KNOWS IS THE MAN OF POWER. He is most often the man with the big salary, too. F. (’. Furlow’s splendid success should inspire other Georgia bovs. BUT THEY MUST PAY THE PRICE OF'SUCCESS. Young Furlow spent four long years at Georgia Tech training his hands and brains. He hided his time and awaited his opportunity. It finally came to him. it does to every man of brains and abilitv. and when it came, he was able to grasp it.

Perry is truly Senatorial Timber it is only nec essary to point to his very able minor ity report against the payment of the famous Mattingly Bonds. Mr. Perry, in handling this vexed and intricate question, demonstrated that he is a constitutionaf lawyer of the first order. No abler report was ever submitted to a General Assembly in Georgia. This report was incorporated in the Journal of the House of Representa tives for 1906. Three Times Wrong. The liability of the state on the bonds had been before the legislature three different times. This was the fourth and last time that the claim was pre sented. In 1869 a joint committee re ported in favor of paying the bonds. No final action was taken. In 1883 the matter was again before the legislature, and a report was made allowing Mr. Mattingly to bring the matter before the courts. In 1904 the claim was again made. There was a majority report in favor of the bonds. No final action was taken. It was again presented in 1906 In his minority report Mr. Perry said: "We have very carefully investi gated the entire matter and unhesitat ingly report that neither the bonds nor the alleged debt In payment of which they were originally given are valid claims against the state.” A Great Victory. Mr. Pet v made a magnificent argu ment upholding his contention that was simnly overwhelming. The majority report, made by Hon. Boykin "Wright, former attorney gen eral. favored the payment of the bonds. Among the able lawyers who had de clared. when the matter was formerly before the General Assembly, that the bonds were valid and ought to be paid were Robert Toombs, Benjamin H. Hill. Alex H. Stephens. Joseph E. Brown and A. T. Akerman, attorney general of the United States under President Grant. The bill to appropriate the money to pay the Mattingly bonds was made the special order in the house August 6. 1966. Mr Perry’s minority report was up held. His splendid argument before the house had won over the ablest lawyers of the body. It culminated in a superb victory and at once established the fame of Mr. Perry as the ablest and most distinguished constitutional law yer in the General Assembly. It is safe to say that the Mattingly Bonds will never be heard of in Geor gia again. SMITH CLAYTON. U. S.

Steurenberg, wealthy New York merchant, had not been in Atlanta five minutes when the hack that was con veying him to his hotel from the Ter minal station was struck by an auto mobile driven by H. A.

Alford, owner of the offending car. today in police court and heard Judge Broyles lecture him on reckless driving and pronounce a fine of SSO for the offense. TakeaTrolleyWith the Wife and Chil dren and Look Over Fortified Hills. ' HERE are trees and flowers and rool breezes and plenty of fresh air out at Fortified Hills. That’s why it would bp a good plan tn take the wife and children out there on a River line car and look things over. Fortified Hills was developed for the wife and children—for homes. A house can be built on any old lot. but a HOME must have envi ronment as well as a lot. / That’s what Fortified Hills has the proper environment. Workmen labored there for years before the owner, Mr. E. W. Grove, consented to turn the property over to us to be put on the market. He had advanced ideas as to the development of a residence section for the salaried man or woman, and he spent sev eral hundred thousand dollars in putting these ideas into effect. J The result is Fortified Hills—the ideal resi dence section. F The property is twenty minutes from Peachtree by the River car line. Yet no ears run in front of the homes and never will. Neither will there ever be any stores or objec- ■' tionable residences. f In other words, Fortified Hills is restrict ed just as thoroughly as is the property upon which the wealthy man builds his magnifi- / cent residence. It was developed for people with pay en- ' velopes containing from $25 to S4O or SSO. The prices and terms fit these pay envelopes. f We have handsome booklets, profusely il lustrated which tell about Fortified Hills, and we’ll send them for the asking. . j Then, too. Captain J. T. Mills can always / he found at Fortified Hills to show visitors around and tell about the property. There's / an office out there —you can’t miss it because 7 it is built as attractive as the homes are which are already there and which are going up. / y All during the summer since the prop- / erty was placed on the market, unusual inter- * est has been manifested in Fortified Hills by those who want homes. Even the wet weath er hasn't kept people from being interested and from looking at this magnificent property 7 . Eight houses are to be built in addition to the beautiful homes already built. Just look it over and then let us tell you about the rea sonable prices and terms which were made to fit the pay envelopes. Turman, Black & Calhoun AGENTS Successors to S. B. Turman & Co. and Chas H.
