THE ATLANTA Ain.
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

Vacant north-side lots are
getting scarce.
Attend Tuesday’s auction

IValterson in today’s Courier^ Journal
locks hnms with William Jennings
Bryan on (he railroad ownership ques-
tlon. ruder the caption, "I.et U* Rea
son Together," Mr. Watteraon says:
"It Is greatly to be regretted that
Mr. Bryan could not have Been his way
to taking tiie political situation as it Is,
and dealing with It upon existing lines
which are sufficiently distinct: that
Instead he should have felt himself
'mpelled to break substantially new
1 ground In the proposed government
ownership of the railways; but every
labile man has his limitations;'each Is
answerable to his conscience, and In
«ny event nnd In the end, Mr. Bryan
Is likely to he Judged rather by his
character than his opinions.
"It la his personality which attracts
the people. It Is the absence of reserve
"hleh makes him Interesting. He Is
already as good a# the Democratic

assembling of the national convention

we had thought that we might elect

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
plasa, which faces the palace near the
water front. The Denver can be seen
from the palace. They have a 1-Inch
field piece and two Colt machine guns,
which can shoot 800 shots a minute.
Under orders from Washington, a
portion of the men went back to the
ship, but a heavy legation guard waa
still kept on shore. It will bo Impossi
ble for the rebels, even If they entered
the city, to accomplish anything of Im
portance without coming In conflict
with tho Yankee aallore. They ore not
likely to do this under any circum
stances.
Rebels Are In Control.
Tho rebels appear to be In complete
control of the provinces of Pinar del
nio, Havana and Santa Clara. A sym
pathiser with the revolution, who ap
parently la well Informed, estimates
that there are at least 16,000 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 states 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 he valued at 12,000,000. The
Hautey mill waa owned by Mr. O. Ra-
beu, an American of Cuban descent.
His son states that the value of the
mill was more than 12,000,000 and that
1500,000 waa spent for machinery this
year.
Property la Destroyed.
Tho Constacla property belongs to
an American company. It la also re
ported that Home Guero and the San
Gues estates have been destroyed by
Guzman and hla rebel forces. Since It
was stated that Pino Guerra had 8,000
men marching on Havana, thla explaln*

government appears to fear Its ability
to deal with the situation.
Property owners are greatly alarmed.
The great question Is how to avoid the
BEGGING FOR FORGIVENESS
MURDERER CONFESSES ALL
BEFORE BIG CONVENTION
New York, Sept. 14.—Wildly appeal
ing to God to forgive him tor his
sins, Henry Dean, for whom the police
had been searching for months, threw
himself on his knees before 150 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 recognized by men In the
convention, and when they realized the
confession wan not the ravtngB 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 waa finally overpowered and
taken a prisoner to the West Brighton
station.
ROOT FOR GOVERNOR

New York, Sept. 14.—Chairman Odell,

Havana, Cuba, Bept. 14.—A report
reached here today to the effect that
the rebels had taken Clenfuegoa and
that the American cruiser Marietta had
landed a force of bluejackets there to
protect foreign property. _The report
lacks confirmation.
Commander Colwell, of the Denver,
was visited last night by an emissary
of Senator Zayeas, the Liberal leader,
who hitherto has escaped arrest, and of
General Joyneas 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.
tervenlng, but merely to protect Amer
lean Interests. Commander Colwell
subsequently saw President Palma, to
whom ho communicated the proposals.
He said that If President Palma would
obtain the consent of the Washington
government, he would act In Ihe mat
ter.
Senor Palma expressed himself a*
very much pleased, and said he would
certainly ask Washington to authorize
Commander Colwell to accept the sur
render of the rebe's. Commander Col
well later Informed the emissary of the
attitude of the president,

The weekly traffic r.nd passenger re

which though not serious are sufficient
to prevent trafllc, as the revolutionists
will not allow repairs to be made. Traf

Cincinnati, Sept. 14.—Every one of

Bryan.
He returned thanks for hi* reception
In the city. Launching Into his ad
dress, he said that conditions were
growing better, and that an application
to the conscience of the people would
bring response. He asserted that In
every community more people did not
steal 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

BRYAN WANTS THE PARTY
TO JUDGE ROGER SULLIVAN
Lincoln, Nebr., Sept. 14.—In a state
ment, which waa given out last night,
W. J. Bryan replies to the recent pub
lic statement of Roger C. Sullivan,
Democratic national committeeman
from Illinois, who declared that cer
tain charges by Mr. Bryan were false.
Sir. Bryan lays he will not permit the
discussion to be lowered to the level of
a personal controversy. Sir. Sullivan,
he declares. Is holding hla place In the
national committee by unfair means.
Continuing, the statement saya:
"It Mr. Sullivan dispute* the Baser-
tlon 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 (hat
he will be a candidate, he will not sub
mit the question whether he should be
a candidate to Mr. Sullivan or to any
body of persons less numerous than the
members of the Democratic party of
the United States. Neither can the
question as to whether Mr. Sullivan
should be re-elected to the national
committee be submitted to the mem
hers 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, nnd 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, franchise-holding corporation nnd
the question la whether the Democratic
organization should be paralyzed by
the Influence of men whose private In
ternets make It Imposslhle 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
vention of any private monopoly what
ever. To this end the organization
must be composed of men who are free
to art for the public and not tied by
personal Interests to corporations which
are eeeklng favors at the public'* ex
pense."
