BOTTENF1ELD 1115 TO 1128 EMPIRE BUILDING. T. A. GUMM, Manager City Sales Department. 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. REAL ESTATE FOR SALE. 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. had a grand display of White and Black Orpingtons, and as usual won the most coveted prizes for first pen in Black and Whites at the poultry show. 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 lows: On White Orpingtons she cap tured first and second pen, first hen. second and third pullet; on Black Orpingtons, first and fourth pen, sec ond hen and ^cond pullet.

The Brinkley Rocks took 29 out of 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. Patterson Farm captured four prizes on five entries. Mr. Patterson was in charge of the exhibit. The premiums they carried off are s follows: First cockerel, second hen, second pen, third cock. Clarke County Bank Is Formed in Athens Leading Real Estate Man Predicts Fortunes Will Be Made. Recalls Old Days. ATHENS, Dec. 6.—After January 1 Athens will have another bank. Appli cation for charter has been made to Secretary of State Philip Cook for the establishment of the Clarke County Bank, to be located in the new Holman Building. George Y. Coleman, who is now cash ier of the Anderson Banking Company, E. M. Cowman and Colonel Carl F. Orossley are the petitioners. G. Y. Co'eman is to be president with E. I. Smith, Jr., who is now cashier of the Anderson Banking Company, cashier. The capital stock will be 150,000. j 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. V , I V i ■ 11
