A SUBSTANTIAL, SOLID COMPANY
Atlanta National Building & Loan
Association.

Col. e. j. Fleischmann, repres
senting the Atlanta National Build.
ing and Loan Association, is in the
city. He will organize local board.
His company is a well known and
old established one, with a
capital of $4,000, 900. Here is a
chance for poor man to get a
home for himself and family instead
of paying rent; a loan of 81, 900 costs
in class A only $3.50 per month as
dues and interest and premium,
making the cost Of the loan only
about the average rent that a
shareholder would pay, and at the
maturity of the shares the bor-
rover would own a home free Of in
cumbrance, instead of file of rent
receipts.
Look where you may and you will
not find a safer or better invest
ment than in the shares of this
splendid association.

the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to a constipated condl-

A Petition to This Eject Being
Gotten I'm by Hotel Men.

4 petition Is being gotten UP by some
of the hotel proprietors OF the city, with
a view OF having the railroad authorities
withdraw the permission granted to the
Richmond Transfer Company to solicit
business on their trains. The request is
based upon the complaint that the agents
OF the company discriminate In favor of
the jefferson, in sending guests to the hos
telries OF the city BY Offering for sale
tickets to bat one hotel.
Here is the petition in full. which Will
be sent In 10 the railroad people In few
days:
awe. the undersigned proprietors of the
several hotels of this city. feel constrained
after months of forbearance to call your
attention 10 what we consider an injustice
and discrimination against us practiced
by the Richmond Transfer Company and
allowed By the railroad authorities-viZ.,,
the boarding OF all trains coming into
Richmond by agents of the said company,
and the soliciting Of passengers by the
said agents for a certain hotel to the
exclusion of all others. This is done.
mainly by the sale OF tickets OF transfer
from the stations 10 this particular hotel
and to no other. We think this very
unfair method OF doing business, and.
while the Richmond Transfer Company
such practice, we think the railroad
officials viii see the injustice OF II when
their attention Is called to the matter
and will not countenance CT allow II 10
continue We, therefore, respectfully
petition and earnestly request you TO
withdraw the permit which the Richmond
Transfer Company now seems TO have
viz, the sale on your trains OF the SAID
transfer tickets, that each hotel may DO
business on Its own merits as formerly"
Mrs A. ID. Atkinson, proprietress OF the
Lexington, who Is prominent In the move

matter yesterday. said:
This complaint has already reached the

against any hotel. / want TO say that we
are strictly impartial ia this matter. To
be true TO our own interests we cannot be
