WHY NOT BRICKr

1t is said that the property owners on
that part of Bull street which has not
yet been paved are opposed TO gravel as
a paving material for the street. 1t will
hardly be denied that the part of the street
that is paved with Augusta gravel presents
a very attractive appearance and is very
firm in both wet and dry weather. Stil,
If the people don't want that material it
ought not to be forced on them,
The choice seems to be between asphalt
and brick. The argument in favor of brick
is very much the stronger Brick pave
ment is cleaner and the cost is
less and it is much less expen-
sive to keep in repair. 1t also costs
less to take il up and replace it when ne
cessary to put down water, gas or other
pipes or to repair pipes
The brick pavement already in use in the
city gives great sausfa ction. 1t presents a
very neat appearance and promises to be
almost as durable as Belgian block pave
ment. If the city authorities are careful to
see that it is properly replaced whenever
ii is taken up for any purpose whatever
il via probably prove to be the very best
and cheapest pavement which can be laid
here.
The main objections to asphalt are that
It costs a great deal TO keep it clean and
! in repair, and it is an exceedingly hot
payement in summer. All things consid-
cred there seem TO be good grounds for
saving that we have just about as much
asphalt pavement as we can afford, and as
much as we want II the Bull street prop
erty owners don't want Augusta gravel
| give them brick.

Shut out From both sides.

him 10 wear a dark suit and offered to paw

'Tierney, I'm sorry TO say 1t, but YOU

to meet me would be Jubal Early. Well,
as soon as he caught sight of me dark

A Fierce Camel Eight.

Description by an English traveller of a
fight between camels at the court of an
Indian prince:
Two camels were brought into the
grounds at the back of the palace and
made TO face one another They were
male animals, whose vicious tendencies
had made il necessary for them to be kept
from the rest of the cattle and who had
been carefully fed in the chieftains fight
ing stock as being especially powerful an
imals.
''At signal from the Prince the crea-
lures were let loose and shamb,ed to-
ward each other. AT first they merely
Tented and sNirmished about in clumsy
fashion, their lCng, awkward legs in ir-
began to foam al the mouth, their faces
became coniorted with fury, and a sort
of fencing match took place.
Their heads darted from side to side,
and they strove to seize each other with
their teeth. They gGoaued and roared
worked up to a high pitch of excitement
AT length one camel seized his enemy
by the leg, while the other, a large, long
haired animal retahated by laying hold of
his opponents ear. Blood flowed freely
and opinion was divided as to which camei
would be the victor.
AT last the long-haired camel, whose
grip on his adVerSary's ear was not very
firm. suddenly let go, but the other con-
tinued to hold on TO his antagonists leg
and even 10 drag him about, roaring with
pain
1.-The Prince eventually gave the order
to separate The combatants, but it re-
quired the efforts of nearly a dozen men
with ropes, chains and cudgels to put an
end to the atfray. Even then the wound
on the leg of the vanquished camel was
so serious that l believe the poor creature
was crippled. for months"

day in full. Extracts from it had been pre-
viously published throughout the country.

The address is an eloquent one, and one
that southern people will read with pleas

was to do fun justice to the South Had

ArLANTA,s MAYOR.

It IS profoundly to be regretted that the
Mayor Of Atlanta has proven himself I'M
worthy of the honor which the working
men of that city were largely instrumental
in confering upon him. He was nominated
as the workngmen's candidate, and the
workingmen of the city felt proud when
one Of their number had been elevated 70
the mayoralty. He was recognized as
man of ability, and it was very generally
believed that he would fill the position
with credit TO himself and his friends
His success in politics, however APP
pears to have turned his head. Accord
ing to published accounts he began his
downward career the very day he was in
augurated. The inference from his state
ment is that he had been drinking man
a quarter of a century ago. but had gwen
up the drink habit 1t is probable that he
felt himself strong enough to take a drink
on the occasion of his Inauguration with
out becoming a slave 10 the long aban-
doned drink habit. That he was mistaken
is shown by his downfall.
He has given Atlanta a sensation, If he
hasn't made her a good Mayor. Nothing
has happened there for a long time that
has so stirred up her people. Those who
didn't know of the Mayors habits felt
sure that The minister who made the
charges against him was simply giving
circulation to sensational reports which
would easily be shown to be without sub
standal foundation. They were astound-
ed, therefore, when the Mayor himself
confirmed what the minister said. In
future more weight will be given TO the
pulpit utterances of DIR. Broughton re-
specting local affairs, than has been the
case heretofore. He has been regarded
as a sensational preacher, and a large
portion of the community has practically
ignored his sensational statements. He
has made a reputation now for knowing
what he is talking about, and the prob
abilities are that he will become power
in local matters, if he isn't already.
As for the Mayor it is difficult to say
what course the Council should pursue
with regard to him If it is believed that
his repentance Is sincere and that he can
live clean and sober life it would be an
act of mercy to give him another chance.
His influence for good. however, is prac-
tically gone. In the short time he would
remain in office, if it should be decided
to pass over his wrong doing. he could
not live down the disgrace which he has
brought upon himself. Every time he APP
peared in public he would feel that his
misdeeds were being recalled and com
mented on by those of his fellow citizens
who recognized him. He would have no
heart for his work, and it is doubtful If
he could render the city any real service.
Still, if he wants another trial IL ought
to be given to him. There is a chance
that he will reform and discharge his
duties conscientiously. But it ought to be
understood that if he yields again to
temptation his connection with the city
government will cease. What he ought
to do Is to resign and relieve the Council
of embarrassment.
