As straws show the direction
of the wind, so do brick and mor
tar the direction of a city’s
growth.
Take a trip out Spring, West
Peachtree, Peachtree, Juniper,*
Piedmont and Myrtle Streets, and
count the new houses and those
building, and the vacant lots, and
see where these improvements
lead to.
It is fashionable to own a
home beyond the noise, dirt and
smoke of the center of the city.
Vacant north-side lots are
getting scarce.
Attend Tuesday’s auction
sale of ANSLEY PARK LOTS
and buy one at your own price,
while you can.
No lots in Atlanta offer the
same advantages for homes, or
the same prospect for rapid en

BEGGING FOR FORGIVENESS
MURDERER CONFESSES ALL
. BEFORE BIG CONVENTION
New York, Sept. 14.—Wildly appeal-
in? to God to forgive him for his
sins. Henry Dean, for whom the police
had been searching for months, threw
hlmaelf on his knees before 350 star
tled delegates to the Richmond county
prohibition convention at Mariners
harbor, confessed that he was a mur
derer; that' he had killed an Innocent
man; had shot down his mother-in-
law, an officer of the law and had
beaten his wife and children.
Dean was recognised by men In the
convention, and when they realized the
confession was not the ravings of an
Insane man, there was a rush toward
him to take him In charge at once. Not
until he had told his whole story did
the old fear of arrest return to Dean
before he was finally overpowered and
taken a prisoner to the West Brighton
station.

Says He Is Sure the Party

Louisville, Ky., Sept. 14.—Henry
Watterson In today's Courier-Journal
looks horns with William Jennings,
Biyan <>n the railroad ownership ques
tion - Under the caption, "Let Us Rea
son Together," Mr. Watterson says:
•It Is greatly to be regretted that
Hr. Prynn could not have seen his way
to taking the political situation as it Is,
ind dealing with It upon existing lines
whkb are sufficiently distinct; that
instead he should have felt himself
‘mpelled to break substantially new-
ground in the proposed government
ownership of the railways; but every
public man lias his limitations; each Is
answerable to his conscience, and In
any event and In the end, Mr. Bryan
H likely t > be Judged rather by his
character than his opinions.
"It Is his personality which attracts
the people, it t* the absence of reserve
whicl\ makes him interesting. He Is
already as good as the Democratic
nominee for lD08. Long before the
Mumbling of the national convention
h5! , named by the several states,
we had thought that we might elect
Hr. Bryan In his bare feet. He will
Jut have this. He puts on the Jaek-
noots of railway ownership, which, he
Jeciares, fit him from heej to toe. Well,
jey do not fit us. OUr opinion Is

Milwaukee, WIs., Sept. 14.—After
burning for hours, a fire fn the big
packing plant of the Cudahy Brothers
Packing Company, at Cudahy, six miles

ance of about $600,000.
One man was killed while lighting
the lire and several firemen were in
jured.
The building In which the lard re
finery. beef house, glue works and kill

Havana, Cuba, Sept 14—The revo
lution has fallen Into secondary place
before the fact that American blue
jackets, .armed for action and with
machine guns, are on the scene. ,
The bluejackets are camped In the
plaza, which faces the palace near the
water front. The Denver can be seen
from the palace. They have a' 3-Inch
field piece and two Colt machine guns,
which can shoot 600 shots a minute.
Under orders from Washington, a
portion of the men went back to the
ship,- but a heavy legation guard was
still kept on shore. It will be Impossi
ble for the rebels, even If they entered
the city, to accomplish anything of Im
portance without coming In conflict
with the Yankee sailors. They are not
likely to do this under any circum
stances.
Rebels Are in Control.
The rebels appear to be lp complete
control of the provinces of Plnar del
Rio. Havana and Santa Clara. A sym
pathiser with the revolution, who ap
parently la well Informed, estimates
that there are at least 15,000 rebels In
the field In the three provinces. A
high government official admits that
the situation Is most serious, and adds
that the revolutionists have put an end
to the republic In an Insane spirit of
revenge.
He also slates that the Hautey Sugar
Mill at Santo Domingo, Santa Clara
province, has'been destroyed by the In
surgents, who are about to destroy the
famous Constacla Sugar Mill, which Is
supposed to be valued at 32,000,000. The
Hautey mill was owned by Mr. O. Ra-
beu, an American of Cuban descent.
His son states that the value of the
mill was more than 32.000,000 and that
3600,000 was spent for machinery this
year.
Property Is Destroyed.
The Constacla property belongs to
nn American company, it Is also re
ported that Home Guero and the San
Gues estates have been destroyed by
Guzman and Ills rebel forces. Since It
u l as stated- that Pino Guerra had 8,000
men marching on Havana, this explains
the landing of the Americans.' The
to deal with the situation.
Property owners are greatly alarmed.
The great question. Is how to avoid the
wanton destruction of property by the
revolutionists. Unless the United States
takes over the administration of af
fairs this destruction may continue to
a large extent. It Is safe to say that
all property owners look to the United
States as their only hope of salvation.
ROOT FOR GOVERNOR
AND ALSO PRESIDENT
New York, Sept. 14.—Chairman Odell,
of the Republican state committee,
came out today for Ellhu Root for
governor.
“If he should be nominated and
elected governor this year, would he
likely be nominated for president In
1908?" was asked.
“Yes, I think that very probable, and
I should certainly support him for
nomination qpd election.”

26 WHITEHALL STREET.
Havana, Cuba, Sept. 14.—A report
reached here tdllay to the effect that
the rebela had taken Clenfuegos and
that the American cruleer Marietta had
landed a force of bluejacket! there to
protect foreign property. The report
lacke confirmation.
Commander Colwell, of the Denver,
was visited laet night by an emlaeary
of Senator Zayeas, the Liberal leader,
who hitherto has escaped arrest, and of
General Joyncas del Castillo, command
er of the revolutionary forces In the
province of Havana. The emissary
stated that If Commander Colwell
would guarantee Senors Zayeas and
Castillo a fair trial, they and all their
revolutionary' forces In the field would
surrender to him.
Commander Colwell replied that he
was not In Cuba for the purpose of In
tervening, but merely to protect Amer
ican Interests. Commander Colwell
subsequently saw President Palma, to
whom he communicated the proposals.
He said that If President Palma would
obtain the consent of the Washington
government, he would act In the mat
ter.
Senor Palma expressed himself as
very much pleased, and said” he would
certainly nsk Washington to authorise
Commander Colwell to accept the sur
render of the rebels. Commander Col-
well Inter Informed the emissary of the
attitude of the president.
Railway Traffic Stopped.
The Western railroad, throughout Its
whole extent of 125 miles. Is paralysed.
The weekly traffic and passenger re
ceipts average 323,000. Today they were
nothing, owing to breaks In the line
which though not serious are sufficient
to prevent traffic, as the revolutionists
will not allow repairs to be made. Traf
fic on the United railways has been
stopped, owing to the track having
been torn up at Rlcdon by the rebels.

London. Sept. 14.—The Morning I’ost
says that Cuba Is not strong enough to
wosk out her own salvation. She can
not without American support main
tain a government and secure the
progress of the country. Much as the
American government may regret the
necessity for taking a step which will
be unpopular with a large section of
the country, she will not be able to re

destiny of the United States stands be-
hind her and urges her Imperatively on

Cincinnati, Sept. 14.—Every one of
the 10,000 seats In the grandstand, built

park, was occupied last night, as were

Bryan.
He returned thanks for his reception
In the city. Launching Into hie ad
dress, he said that conditions were
growing better, and that an application
to thuponsclence of the people would
bring Response. He asserted that In
every community more people did not
eteal because of their conscience than
for fear of the law. He refused to
take credit because principles he ad
vocated had grown more popular.
"The Democratic Idea Is larger than
this republic," he continued. "There
Is no nation which I have visited In
which there are not the seeds of De
mocracy, and in them all Democracy
Is growing. The man who puts coun
try above self Is the reformer. 1 have
found everywhere men striving to
bring government nearer the will of

SUES FOR SHARE
BRYAN WANTS THE PARTY
TO JUDGE ROGER SULLIVAN
Lincoln, Nebr., Sept. 14.—In a state
ment, which was given out laet night,
W. J. Bryan replies to the recent pub
lic statement of Roger C. Sullivan,
Democratic national committeeman
from Illinois, who declared that cer-
K aln charges by Mr, Bryan were false.
Ir. Bryan says he will not permit the
discussion to be lowered to the level of
a personal ctfiitroversy. Mr. Sullivan,
he declares, Is holding his place In the
national committee by unfair means.
Continuing, the statement says:
"ff Mr. Sullivan dlspufts the asser
tion that a considerable majority of
the delegates to the Springfield con
vention were opposed to him, he can
fight the question out with the major
ity league of Illinois, which will doubt-,
less accommodate him.
“As Mr. Bryan has not asked for a
nomination and has not announced that
he will be a'candldate. he will not sub
mit the question whether he should be
n candidate to Mr. Sullivan og to em
body of persons less numerous than the
members of the Democratic party of
the United States. Neither ran the
question as to whether Mr. Sullivan
should be re-elected tex the national
committee be submitted to the mem
bers of a convention already adjourned.
"The question must be submitted
to the Democrats of Illinois when they
meet to select delegates to the next
national convention, and Mr. Sullivan
will not be permitted to dodge the Issue
that Is raised against him. He Is of
ficially connected with a favor-seek
ing, franchlse-hpldlng corporation and
the question Is whether the Democratic
organization should be paralysed by
the Influence of men whose private In
terests make It Impossible for them to
be guardians of the public.
"Mr. Bryan will urge the Democratic
party to put Itself In a position where
It can fight boldly and persistently for
the regulation of such corporations as
are not monopolistic and for the pre
ventlon of any private monopoly what
ever. To this end the organization
must be composed of men who are free
to act for the public and not tied by
personal Interests to corporations which
are seeking favors at the public's ex
penee."
