IVY 2647
John W. Grant is waiting on plans
which he authorized drawn some
months ago by W. T. Downing, archi
tect, for a palatial country home on
Pace’s Ferry road. Mr. Grant has al
ready looked over tentative plans and
is now r waiting for more definite ones.
In case he accepts the plans whiclf
Mr. Downing will soon present to him
he will undoubtedly begin the ereclion
of his new' home in the spring.
It will take about a year to build
the kind of residence that Mr. Grant
desires, and while no intimation of
the price of the house has been given
out. it is safe to say that something
new may be expected in country home
construction—-something that can not
be eclipsed on Pace’s Ferry road or
elsewhere in or around the city.
Work on Landscape.
During the past summer Mr. Grant
has had landscape engineers working
on his place, and they have succeeded
remarkably well. A lowland marsh
tract of about four acres has been
Irained through the tiling process and
converted into tillable land, and hun
dreds of strawberry and raspberry
bushes and fruit trees have been
planted. This swampy land, it was
thought, could not be reclaimed, and
was the only objectionable spot on th9
place.
The knoll on which Mr. Grant plans
to build is one of the most perfect
that nature could provide. It is slight
ly elevated above Pace’s Ferry road,
500 feet from the road, and ap
proached by a winding drive that can
either pass straight in front of the
house or describe an arc around it.
The Grant home will be in a clump
of scrub pines, but there is an oak
and hickory grove of medium-sized
trees lining the road in front. The
hillside slope behind the site of the
house rolls away at an angle of about
15 degrees and is broken with occa
sional ravines, which are almost per
fectly formed. There is sufficient
water and enough natural ba«iks for
a splendid swimming pool, and there
are level stretches for tennis courts
and other playgrounds.
Frontage on Roswell Road.
Mr. Grdnt owns parcels on either
side of Pace’s Ferry road, and his
main tract, on which he will build, ex
tends northw’ard to the Roswell road,
where the frontagers about 2,000 feet.
The entire holdings consist of over 100
acres.
The place will soon be more acces
sible to town through the opening of
Andrews avenue, which extends 2,900
feet through the Grant tract on rhe
south side of Pace’s Ferry road and
ends in front of the tract where Mr.
Grant will build. This road already
has w'ater and sewers. It is being
built jointly by Mr. Grant and the
Peachtree Heights Park Company.
The road provides a cut of nearly a
mile to the city and will be largely
used by the owners along Pace’s Ferry
road.

Realty Board Head Calls Meeting
To Indorse Reserve Bank Project
Harris G. White, president of the
Atlanta Real Estate Board, has called
a meeting of the directors of the
board for the purpose of indorsing
the plan for a regional bank located*
in Atlanta and to forward a copy of
resolutions to Representatives at
Washington. The meeting will be
held Tuesday at noon in the office of
Mr. White, at No. 327 Grant Build
ing, and Mr. White expects the direc
tors to take immediate action. Rob
ert F. Maddox, who has been instru
mental In getting favorable considera
tion for Atlanta in Washington and
who has been foremost in the move
ment for a redraft of the currency
bill, will also be acquainted of the
action.
Mr. White declared Saturday that
a regional bank in Atlanta would in
crease 100 per cent the power of real
estate men for developing local and
suburban property, and that no class
of citizens would benefit more than
w f ould tho dealers in land. Realty
men have been contending many
years with a serious difficulty in their
operations—the lack of money. Banks
for the most part have encouraged
their depositors to keep money in
vaults rather than place It in real
estate, but Mr. White thinks that a.
regional bank w’ould remove a good
deal of the difficulty.
"A depositor in any bank,” declared
Mr. White, “could probably get much
better accommodation If a re
serve bank were located here,
with ample funds. Real es
tate men would put up their
good Atlanta land as security. I don’t
know to what extent the funds of such
a bank could be used for real estalo
purposes, but even if the benefit were
only an indirect one. It would be con
siderable through the presence here
of much more money for commercial
purposes. I have talked with many
real estate men, and they are without
exception heartily in favor of the
proposed bank. I expect the direc
tors to Indorse the plan promptly and
unconditionally.”
Poultry Show Echoes
Mrs. P. T. Calloway, of Washing
ton, Ga., and her string of famous
Reds were the subject of much talk in
the poultry show. Mrs. Calloway al
ways accompanies her birds to the
shows. She Is one of the best known
women breeders of Reds In this sec
tion. and what she does not know
about Single Comb Reds is not worth
knowing. Her winnings at the show
consists of the following:
First, third, fourth and fifth cock;
first, third and fourth cockerel; third
hen, and third pull''*.
"Ty Cobb” was the sweepstakes
cock of this show, and is prized high
ly by Mrs. Calloway. Mrs. Calloway
so far this season has exhibited in
Hagerstown. Augusta and Knoxville,
cleaning the boards at every show.
Mrs. L. P. Eberhardt, of Elbert on.

Black Orpingtons, and as usual won
the most coveted prizes for first pen

Her p'*n of Black Orpingtons was a
sweepstakes, being the best pen of
birds in the show, all varieties com
peting. Her White Orpington hen
won sweepstakes also.
Her combined winnings were as fol

a possible 31 prizes at Memphis and
best display of White Plymouth
Rocks, best pen of Plymouth Rocks,
best pen In show, best cock in show,
champion White Rock male, best hen
in show, and other distinctions at
Little Rock.
Visitors to the poultry show have
noticed with a good deal of satisfac
tion that an Atlanta concern has an
attractive exhibit of incubators' and
brooders. The Southern States In
cubator and Brooder Company, of
College Park, is showing Its latest
devices for helping chickens out of
the shell and for taking care of them
in their delicate periods.
A good record long sustained has
been the fortune of the Model Poul
try Farm, of Colbert. Freeh from the
polumbus show, where White Leg
horn second cockerel, fourth and fifth
cock and fourth pullet was the record,
this farm came to Atlanta and cap
tured second, third and fourth cocks,
second cockerel, second and fourth
pullet, and second pen. Out of ten
entries at the Atlanta show there
were eight winners, and this exhibit
led ail for White Leghorns.
J. L. Reinhardt is president of the
Model Poultry Farm, and George A.
Libhart manager. Mr. Reinhardt and
Mr. Libhart attended the show. The
concern was too late to show in Au
gusta.
One of the largest and best poultry
exhibits at the show was that of Wil
liam Cook & Sons, of Scotch Plains,
N. J., who claims to be the origina
tors of all the Orpington breeds.
This concern was successful in win
ning first prize for White Orpington
cock, first for White Orpington cock
erel and first for Black Orpington
cockerel. The first for the Black Or
pington bird was of the sweepstakes
variety, In the class of blacks, whites,
buff, etc. The Cook Company also
took the first Buff cockerel prize, the
first Buff cock prize, third for White
Orpington pen, second for Black Or
pington pen, and second for Buff Or
pington pen.
Harry Jennings was in charge. He
entered 55 birds.
The magnificent pen of White
Rocks exhibited by the Patterson
Poultry Farms, of Fitzgerald, at
tracted much attention at the show
this week.

Decatur Buffs Win.
C. Stewart, of Decatur, won on
Buff Orpingtons second and fourth
pullet, second and third coctayel.
By EDWIN P. ANSLEY.
On next Friday at 10 o’clock there
is going to be an auction of Terminal
district property, and I want to make
the prediction that a decade from to
day the people who bought will have
ample c^use to rejoice over the won
derful enhancement in their property.
I want real estate men and real es
tate traders to mark the prediction,
because it is sure to come true. For
tunes will be made.
Before the present Terminal Sta
tion was planned, Mitchell street
property was high at $100 per front
foot, yet Asa G. Candler last year paid
Martin Amorous $5,000 per front foot
for the northeast comer of Forsyth
and Mitchell streets for a bank corner,
and made a splendid trade.
Terminal Section Important.
If Aladdin had used his wonderful
lamp on the Terminal district in
which the Stocks property is located,
he could not have changed it any more
than it has been changed in the last
few years. The Southern’s million-
dollar freight terminal, the splendid
passenger terminal and the hundreds
of thousands of dollars invested in
business houses in this distriat hav«
changed it from one of the most dis
reputable, dilapidated-looking resi
dence sections to a wonderful business
section, with unlimited advantages for
the convenient transaction of busi
ness.
Thompson street (now Madison
avenue) used to be a negro shanty
district, and to-day it is a splendid
business street, with hundreds of
thousands of dollars invested in mod
ern business buildings.
The South is just coming into its
own. It is now preparing to do busW
ness with the whole world through the
Panama Canal. It has been a buying
section—it is to become the greatest
selling section of America. Its crops
this year prevented a manufactured
panic, and a regional bank, its crops
and manufactured products will for
ever prevent a panic in this section.
Wall street is howling, but a banking
system that will enable our farmers,
who produce the wealth and are the
backbone of our country, to borrow
40 per cent to 50 per cent on the rea
sonable value of their farms (which is
the best security in the world), will
make this the richest section of
America, because cheap money will
enable the farmer to put his farm
in first-class condition, use modern
machinery and produce over twice
what he is now producing.
The opening of the Panama Canal
places the South’s products nearest
to the markets of the West, and hun
dreds of wise business men will flock
to this section to take advantage of
business location, and the tide of trade
will change to the Gulf and South
Atlantic ports in place of going East,
as at present.
Atlanta Is Logical.
The fact that 90 per cent of the
space in our skyscrapers is occu
pied by the representatives of for
eign corporations, life insurance, fire
insurance, manufacturers’ agents, etc.,
shows that they recognize Atlanta as
the logical Southern headquarters for
their enterprises.
The fact that residence Peachtree
street is practically no more as far as
Eleventh street shows that every au
tomobile manufacturer In America
will have to establish Southern head
quarters here, and their next step
will lie to locate branch factories here
and save present long haul freight
charges.
As a city grows, close-in wholesale
warehouse and manufacturing space
gets dear, since the man that can
combine his wholesale and retail bus
iness or manufacturing and sales
business under one roof knows that
he not only gets maximum efficiency
from his employees, but also cuts
down one-half the fixed charges of
high-priced managers.
The man who is waiting for the
price of well-located Atlanta prop
erty to go down will wait a long
while. A word to the wise is suf
ficient, and the sooner he seeks the
new sections with wonderful natural
advantages and gets in on the ground
floor, the sooner the wcrrld will know
him as a wise man.
When the Old Merriam lot. where
the Majestic Hotel now stands, sol l
for $100 per front foot, some of our
most enterprising citizens propha
sized that the purchaser would never
be able to get his money back. Num
bers of our oldest citizens have wait
ed from that time until this to see
Atlanta property values go down.
Many of them contended up to the
time Atlanta reached 100,000 inhabi
tants that it was only a bubble and
would hurst. Macon and Savannah
predicted the same thing.
Woman’s Reds Triumph.
Mrs. A. L, Matthews, of Redan, had
seven entries of Rhode Island Reds,
entering against strong competition.
She won fourth hen and third \pen.
