the space covered by Mr.. Morrison's lot.
As this interfered with Mr.. Morrison $
building plans Mr.. Krenson was compelled
to trim off his cornice to the line of his
own property. Later when Mr.. Krenson
found that Mr. Morrison had intrenched
upon his premises below the ground he re-
tanated by compelling him to chip off the
wall back to his own line. The difference
between the two encroachments was that
one was in the air and the other was I'M
der the ground.
1t seems that there are other objections
to Mr. Morrison's buildings by the resi-
dents in the neighborhood of Whitaker and
Bolton streets besides the alleged weak
wall There are several fine residences
there, all of which set back some distance
from the street. Mr.. Morrison has, in
course Of construction on his corner lot,
five three-story tenement houses all close
to the street line thus injuring, 1t is claim
ed. the appearance of the surrounding
property.
1t has been suggested that the city
should regulate matters of these kinds in
the residence districts and that where a
majority of the lots on a block have the
house situated some distance back from
the street that no other property owner
on the block should be allowed to erect
a building nearer to the street than his
neighbors. Mayor Meldrim and several
members of Council who were spoken to
about the matter were of the opinion,
however, that the city has no right to
make such regulations. Any property
owner, they said has the right to occupy
any portion of his lot, or the whole of il,
if he sees fit.

TURPENTINE AT THE TOP NOTCH.
Spirits Market Higher Than 1t Has
Been in Three Years.


Spirits turpentine sold yesterday at "a
cents a gallon. This is the highest price
paid for the product in three years.
In March, 1895. there was an unusual
squirt in the market, due to manipulation,
by holders of large stocks, which carried
the price, for a few days. as high as 80
cents. Then downward course COM
meuced, and as soon as the new crop of
that year began to arrive, the price was
materially lowered.
The highest price paid in 1896 was in Feb
ruary, when the quotation was 27h cents.
In March, 1897 Z72a cents was paid, which
was the highest price of that year.
The situation at present is a little more
encouraging than during any of the pre-
Vious years mentioned. During those
years, the conditions were the same as
now, so far as light receipts were
concerned, and the most of the stock at
Savannah and abroad being in the hands
of exporters, but In those years the adj
vanced prices were spasmodlc, the quota
tons just before and Immediately after
being several cents lower.
This season the price has been above 30
cents for several months, and has ranged
around S21a and 80 cents for some time
lately.
The operators and factors are very much
encouraged by the apparent strength in
the market and are hoping that the lead
ing buyers will find il to their interests to
pay a remunerative price for the coming
crop, and maintain the value of this i'm
portant product.

AFTER A DIAMOND RING.
Bridal Couple Who Wanted to Enter
the De sOtO's Contest,

The De Soto is one of the famous resorts
In the South for newly married couples,
and the guests there sometimes extract a
great deal Of amusement from this source.
The other day newly married couple ar
rived and were given seats in the dining
room near two well-known life insurance
men. in fact just opposite them.
There was about this couple an unmis-
taxable halo of marital bliss. The older of
the two insurance men is a Chesterfield in
manners, but nevertheless a wag in leisure
moments, and a plot at once developed in
his mind. He began by talking with his
friend, saying that it was a custom of the
hotel management to award a handsome
diamond ring to the handsomest bridal
couple stopping at the hotel during the
tourist season.
Tickets for this contest, he stated were
issued at the office on application which
had to be accompanied by declaration of
date of marriage names and address. 1t
was stated also that the drawing took
place on April of each year.
Pardon me gentlemen" remarked the
groom who. filled with interest and excite
ment, could stand it no longer, I'VE were
married in Atlanta yesterday at o'clock
in the afternoon al the Second Baptist
Church, and l am going in for that ring"
The clerk at the desk was posted before
the arrival of the couple TO make inquiry,
and he reluctantly informed them that the
ring had already been awarded, Their dis
appointment may well be imagined.

A MODEL FACTORY.

The Extensive Harness Manufactory of A.
 c. Reckling.
 Of the many industries in the Birming- ham district no one is growing more rapidly in proportion to size than the harness fac tory of A. c. Reckling Mr. Reckling has been in the harness business in Birmingham for eighteen years. A few years ago he commenced making harness on an exten- sive scale, and today he has one of the most complete equipped harness and saddle factories in the south. He makes each and every kind of harness, from the lightest single harness to the heaviest two-horSe dray harness, and the most stylish carriage harness. He has the latest machinery, keeps up with the latest styles in harnesses and uses nothing but the very best Of oak leather. -
 Few people realize what a concern this IS. The machinery in his plant on Nineteenth street. between Second and Third avenues, would amaze perhaps 99 per cent. Of the people of Birmingham to see it. Ills tre- mendous sewing machines and cutting knives etc, etc., are driven by electro pow CT, and perform the very best work known.
 The place is a model of thrift and enter prse From eight to twelve experlenceo harness-makers are employed and are kept busy at all seasons. They draw good wages and add much to the progress of Birmlng- ham lust such small enterprises as tnls harness factory of MT. A. c. Reckling are inc things which go to make up great city.
