Tombstone Inscriptions.
There ore very many peculiar in
scriptions on tombstones in the grave
yards of this country. Some of them
are short, but surely they do “speak
the truth.”
In a cemetery in a certain city ap
pears on a headstone this:
“He’s gone! We'll follow.
When? Oh, where?
Presumptions man, 'tis well
These questions to forego;
For he who knows won't tell,
And he who tells don’t know.”
In another place is a simple stone,
with name, born—, died, etc. Then
follows this statement:
“It was a cough
That took him ofl;
It was a coffin
They took him off in.”

BUSINESS MEN FOR COUNCIL.
Many Representative Citizens Announce
Their Candidacy.
The municipal campaign has started
off auspiciously, and the contest prom
ises to be interesting.
It is noteworthy that the candidates
who have entered the race up to date
are all solid, representative citizens,
and are worthy of any honor that may
be bestowed upon them.
One of these gentlemen we have in
mind—Mr. W. M. Terry, candidate
for council from the Fourth ward.
Mr. Terry is an out and out true At
lantian; is thoroughly identified with
the city and our people. He came
here twenty years ago with less than
two hundred dollars in his pocket, es
tablished a small grocery business,
and, by dint of hard work, thrift and
energy, he has been phenomenally suc
cessful.
From a small beginning his business
grow rapidly until t>day he is con
ducting a large wholesale trade, and is
rated up in the hundred thousands.
To such men as Mr. Terry, Atlanta
owes her progress and prosperity, and
it is needless to say that should his
fellow citizens honor him with a seat
in council, he will carry into that body
his well known energy and persever
ance, doing his duty with an eye sin
gle to the welfare of his constituents
in particular and to the whole city in
general.
HEAVY DECLINE IN COTTON.
North Carolina Agricultural Department
Gives Oxit Report.
The North Carolina crop report for
September was compiled Monday by
the agricultural department. From
returns from 1,200 correspondents it
shows another heavy decline in the
condition of cotton. This crop fell
off 15 points in August, as compared
with July, and now it declines 25
points from its August condition. Its
present condition is only 75 per cent
of an average crop. Tobacco is 87,
corn 85, peanuts 85.
ANTI TRUST MEETING
Distinguished Delegates Attend
Convention In Chicago.
“DOWN WITH MONOPOLY” THE SLOGAN
Texas Delegate Kali vena llaeting Ry His
Fierce Onslaught AffiUaat the
Trusts aad Combln«tl»Mi.
The Civic Federation conferences
on the uses and abuses of trusts and
combinations began at Chicago Wed
nesday with less than half the dele
gates appointed by the various states
in attendance. New York, headed by
W. Bonrke Cockran, and Wisconsin
were most numerously represented.
The meeting took place in Central
music hall and was called to order by
Franklin H. Head, president of the
Civic Federation. The delegates lis
tened to an address of welcome to Illi
nois by Attorney General Akin on be
half of Governor Tanner, who by ill
ness was prevented from appearing in
person.
With the progress of the speaking it
became evident that maty of the del
egations had come with firm convic
tions for or against trade combina
tions. The speech of Mr. Wooten, of
Texas, delivered during the afternoon,
hammering tha trusts in merciless
manner, aroused the wildest enthusi
asm in the ranks of the labor repre
sentatives and ths delegations from
many western and southern states,
while the easterners generally smiled
.critically.
Mr. Wooten was frequently inter
rupted by cheering and was rapturous
ly received by his fellow delegates
from the Lone Star state upon the
completion of his peroration. He said
in part:
“Accepting in good faith that
amendment which the heroic legions
of the south resisted unto death
on a thousand battle fields, we be
lieve that ‘neither slavery nor invol
untary servitude, except as punish
ment for crime, shall exist within the
United States or any place subject to
their jurisdiction.’ And we confi
dently assert that the commercial and
industrial bondage being rapidly im
posed upon the toil and talents of 70,-
000,000 American citizens by the syn
dicated wealth of a few corporate mo
nopolies is more dire aad dangerous
than the slavery which bowed the
Leads and burdened the backs of
4,000,000 southern blaek men.
“And above and beyond these great
written guarantees of equality and
justice, we look to the lessons of
history and appeal to the authority of
existence. When we are told that the
spirit of commercial combination
promises golden rewards to the pres
ent tendencies of our economic system,
we remember that »o republic has
ever survived the mercenary despotism
of merchants and money changers.”
Mr. William Fortune, of Indianapo
lis, president of the Indiana state
board of commerce, made an earnest
plea for conservative procedure as a
more hopeful course than the applica
tion of revolutionary or too radical
measures to an evolutionary problem.
He indicated a grave doubt of the use
fulness of the doctrinaire in arriving
at a radical solution of the question.
He guardedly suggested the danger
capital may bring to itself by heedless
abuse of its power and indicated the
importance to it of seeking proper reg
ulations which will make trust meth
ods acceptable rather than obnoxious
to the people by whose permission and
toleration only can their existence con
tinue.
The committee on permanent or
ganization met after the afternoon ad
journment of the conference. The
committee, consisting of one delegate
from each state represented and each
organization of general scope, was, in
part, as follows:
Texas, Hon. A. B. Davidson; Flor
ida, John Franklin Forbes; West Vir
ginia, J. B. Harris; South Carolina,
B. C. Kaufman; Mississippi, J. W.
Culver; Louisiana, W. W. Howe.
A programme for Thursday was pre
sented and adopted. It was the inten
tion to have W. Bourke Cochran talk
Thursday night, but he objected to
the arrangement and expressed a de
sire to speak Friday evening, follow
ing W. J. Bryan.

1,100 acres; 700 hammock, 400 up
land, in Screven county, Ga. This is
a fine place, divided by the Georgia
Central railroad. 50 miles from Savan
nah. Railroad station on the place; good
location for country store. Splendid
situation for factory for staves and
cooperage works. Enough good tim
ber on the hammock land to pay for
the place three or four times over.
Investors are invited to examine this
place.
1.149 acres on west bank of Savan
nah river, in Effingham county, Ga.,
grant of 1784, and descent of title to
present owner.
1.150 acres on Satilla river, in Cam
dem county, Ga., grant from state,
aud deeds on record for 100 years
back. Good title, by descent to pres

1,150 acres on St. Mary’s river, in
Camden county, Ga. Grant and deeds
on record 100 years back. Good title,
by descent to present owner.
430 acres on west bank of Savannah
river, in Screven county, Ga. Deeds
on record since 1827. Good title, by
descent to present owner.
All of these lands arc available for
agriculture, stock raising, mining,
or timbers. Some few of the lots in
north Georgia are in the hills, but
they have the advantage of being sit
uated in the finest section of country
for minerals. Several of these lots
have been examined, or, as the essay
ists and miners would say, have been
prospected, aud found to bear fine de
posits of gold, silver, iron, copper and
marble. The state of Georgia is de
veloping some of the finest mineral
resources in this country, in coal, co
rundum, gold, silver, copper, man
ganese, and other minerals, and marble,
a>so a variety of the finest timbers for
all sorts of manufactures of wooden
wares and furniture. The state is
noted for its salubrious climate, and
its remarkable adaptability for all kindz
of agricultural products, fruits and
vegetables. Some of these lauds, now
offered, arc as fine as any in the world
for fruits and cereals.
A prominent real estate journal, the
“American Land and Title Register,”
recently used a paragraph under the
head of “Investments and Specula
tions,” and it impresses me as being
so appropriate, that I quote it here as
follows: “Real estate is the thing,
above all others, that furnishes a field
for investment that is absolutely safe
’nd profit bearing. It is the material
interest itself, and it cannot bo de
stroyed by bad management, extrava
gant methods, competition, casualty,
dishonesty in management or legisla
tion. Its value cannot be depressed
by any of these causes. Investments
in real estate, judiciously made, can
not fail to be profitable. If you want
to get rich, buy real estate and know
what you are getting; if you want to
gamble, buy stocks and let some one
else know what they are giving you.”
I desire to sell these lands as soon
as possible, and they must go at low
prices, very low for cash, or on easy
terms and long time with 5 per cent
interest, as purchasers may desire and
prefer. Persons desirous of investing
money for future profits by enhance
ments should examine these offers at
once. I have other lands, which I
will sell on good terms aud low prices,
i In writing for information about any
of these lands, refer to them by the
number, district, section and county,
and enclose two stamps, 4 cents, for
reply. Robert L. Rodgers,
ts Attorney at Law, Atlanta, Ga.

408 “The Grand”—Office of
“The Georgia Record,”
Atlanta, Georgia.
To Readers of The Record:
Perhaps yon are aware of the publi
cation of "The Georgia Record,” a
weekly newspaper issued every Satur
day. It is increasing in interest amongst
those who have been reading it from
the first issue. We desire aud hope
to make it stnUmofeTnleresting as we
progress with it. We are particularly
desirous of having your name on our
list as a regular subscriber and reader,
and as a helper in our progress and
improvement. We are planning to
make it a first-class journal of the
times, or, ns its name imports, we
wish to make it “The Georgia
Record” of all notable persons or
noteworthy events. In order to ac
complish our purpose, it is necessary
for our patrons to aid us in a substan
tial way, and so it becomes essential
to have subscriptions paid up in ad
vance, or ns closely as possible, for the
mutual benefit of subscriber and pub
lisher. Our subscription price is very
small, simply about the cost of the
paper. If we can have it in advance we
certainly can apply it for better ad
vantage than if we have to vait for it
some time. Os course the small sum
of one subscription can be paid by
you as well at one time as another. To
yon it is a small item. In the aggre
gate the matter is important to the
publisher. One subscription may be
merely a mite. One thousand may be
mighty or much to the progressive de
velopment of the newspaper. Os
course tho mutual advantage of ad
vance payment of your subscription
will be obvious to you on a moment’s
consideration.
You are now respectfully requested
to let us have your subscription money
by return mail, or otherwise as may be
convenient to you, as early as practi
cable. Will you not be pleased to re
mit the price for one year,—one dol
lar? Os course for a shorter time, if
you prefer it, but a year will be the
better for both of us. If it is not con
venient for you to remit, just write us
a few words on a postal card to call on
you, and we will appear before you
very soon.
We feel confident that a trial of
subscription will so interest you, that
you will continue to be n regular sub
scriber. Please respond promptly.
Very Cordially Yours,
Robert L. Rodgers,
Editor and Publisher of “The Geor
gia Record.” ts
