BIG STOCKYARO
TO Be LOCATED HERE
ATLANTA WILL THEN BECOME
THE BIGGEST MULE MAR
KET IN THE
WORLD.

Application for a charter for the Brady
Union Stock Yards, corporation with a
prospective capital stock Of 100000. and
one that Il Is believed will raise Atlanta
TO the place OF the largest mule market IN
the world. was filed in the office OF the
clerk OF the superior court Wednesday af-
ternoon.
The incorporates OF the mammoth en-
terprIse are Major 7. b. Brady, who may
be called the father OF the stock business
in Atlanta; John Oliver, the well known
OIL mill operator; Gen. A. ]. West, one Of
the leading real estate men here, and
Rev. Samuel Porter Jones, of Barlow
county. all the others being from Fulton.
The application was drawn up and filed
by King & Spalding, attorneys. The enter
prise was planned and promoted by A j..
West a Co., real estate dealers.
The location Of the yards and attendant
enterprises. a hotel, slaughter house,
packing house, bank and railway station,
lies along the north and east side Of the
Western and Atlantic and the Southern
railroads. on the town side Of the z. Van
Wrinkle shops.
The place wal become little city within
itself A railway passenger station is to
be erected, stock freight agents will have
Offices on the ground and the hotel TO be
built win contain fifty rooms. Besides
the yards themselves, there is to be an
AuCLiOu mart nlleu out Win every Cou-
venience. Indeed, the whole place is to be
ap-to-date in every respect. The COM
pany proposes 10 erect its own electric
light plant and hotel, bank, stables, pack
ing and slaughter houses, will all be IL
Illuminated. II will be the biggest stock
handling enterprise in the south.
Atlanta, already the second largest mule
market in the world, will rapidly forge to
the front and become the largest, il is
thought. as a result OF this new torganiza-
ton. Though mules will be handled in
greater numbers, perhaps. than anything
else. every kind Of stock is to have a
place. Cattle. sheep. horses. fine and work.
ing animals, are all to be provided for.
The language OF the application for
charter best gives the kind and extent of
the business proposed. AS stated to the
court. this business is to consist Of ''the

packing houses. slaughter houses, cold
storage plants, the buying. selling and

WHAT SORT OF REFORM .
: DOES MRS. FELTON, PROPOSED

To the Editor OF The Atlanta Journal:
Does Mrs. FELTON, favor the compulsory
system Of education, or no systemY
Having taught public schools around
the foot of the mountains of North Geor-
gia for the last nine years, have been
afforded some opportunity for studying
the workings of the schools OF the rural
districts. I have often thought the noble
object of the projectors Of the public
school system of Georgia is almost defeat
ed by the very poor attendance upon the
schools by the children OF the poorer
class. had always supposed the prime
object of the system was to educate the
nliterate who are unable to attend the
pay schools.
Upon reading the first part OF Mrs. Fell
toms article in The Journal Of April "a,
1 rejoiced to think that she had come with
her clear logic and eloquent pen to advo-
cate compulsory education. But jumped
to conclusion too quick, for toward the
close of her article she says. I'VE have
had thirty years trial Of the (presenD
system and it has filled jails and chain
gangs and convict camps to OVERLOOKING.
Now does Mrs. FELTON, really believe In
the truth of that statement and still al
vocate a compulsory system?
Now, viii. the forcing Of a few thousand
more children into the schools raise the
standard of their moral training In the
we must admit that any compulsory sys-
tenn would only add the more victims to
this horrible mill which. according to Mrs.
FELTON,, grinds out so many criminals.
However In coming to the conclusion
az quoted above, Mrs. FELTON, seems to
have forgotten that the population of the
state has increased slightly in thirty
years, and that, by putting many felo-
mics on the misdemeanor list and by en-
acting new laws, the legislature has
greatly increased the number OF misde-
meanor laws. We public school teachers
do not like to be charged with all the
petty crimes OF Georgia for the last year
without entering a protest, even II we
do filch the thousands from the public
purse, and if we are capable Of lobby
ing the weakened legislators" 1 am
sorry to learn Of Mrs. FELTON, that ma
jority OF the legislators ere of that class.
but am gratifed to know what a powerful
influence the public school officer and
teachers may exercise. What a pity such
an influence should be exerted in train
ing criminals, and In securing such legis-
lation as makes the curse OF the public
schools a possibility!
Possibly, the day Is not far distant
when the voters of Georgia. will be so
awakened TO their own interests and so
aroused to the wrongs OF the present
school system that they viii elect a legis-
lature a majority OF whose members will
not bow the knee to BaaI," nor be con-
trolled by that lobby OF huge proper
tons" Then that reform % can be in
stituted. In the meantime. we would be
glad IL Mrs. FELTON, would tell us what
sort of reform to expect.

SPLENDID WORK OF
AN INDUSTRIAL HOME

To the Editor of The Journal:
VIII YOU grant me space in your great
paper for a few lines concerning our in
dutsrial school at Baldwin, Ga.
The work was commenced under the
auspices o. the w. S. G. NJ. society of
Georgia. but is purely undenominational
The purpose was to reach those poor
children who have never had any instruc-
ton and through them reach their par
ents The success achieved -Ar surpass-
es the sanguine expectations of the most
ardent supporters. The transformation
wrought already by the influence OF the
school is remarkable.
The receptive faculties of those eager
minds, like the plastic clay in the potter's
hand, are susceptible to the finer touch
of the efficient teachers wand. The three
teachers in charge are peculiarly fitted for
this kind of work, being thoroughly pro-
1cient in the best methods of teaching.
Under their instruction the interest of the
children has become so great that they
scarcely remain at home for breakfast
To appreciate the work one must see. To
see is to be. convinced.
Baldwin is located on the Southern rail-
way. about 90 miles above Atlanta, and is
fast becoming a health resort. 1t Is the
second highest point in the United states.
The natural scenery 'lends enchantment"
to all lovers of nature. The eternal
hills" rise one above the other, clothed
with beautiful shrubbery and sweet flow
ers, until they nestle at the foot Of
Yonah mountain, furnish sublime pic
ture unsurpassed by SwitzerIands bewitch-
ing scenery.
Peach growing has proven successful.
and letters of inquiry are coming from all
sections. Monied men are investing in
lands.
The philanthropist has but to see depict
ed in real life the sad picture of Incidence.
poverty and ignorance. And here we have
it. ''Would-be" bright children bound
down by the steel cords of environments
not of their making, encased in dismal
huts of unbearable filth; schooled in indOl-
ence. reared In poverty and sacrificed on
the altar of vice. A pathetic picture that
should appeal strongly to all lovers Of
men," All these children need is an OPP
portunity. And what we want is an in
dustrial school in reality. A school where
the girls in addition to their classroom
work can be instructed by a trained ma
tron in all that pertains to decent, at
tractive well-ordered home.
A large farm where the boys can be
drilled in the agricultural and industrial
features under the supervision of a skill
ed director. What we need is a conven-
iently arranged. commodious dOrmitory
The people of Baldwin have donated 50
acres of good land, LOCO peach trees and
$500 in money. We confidently expect 9TH
er larger donations real soon.
And at the hearts of the many better
favored of our great country. the need Of
those children knock with repeated en-
phasis. VIII you not open and lend a
helping hand? Any donation will be glad
ly received and wisely applied. Yours in
behalf of those needy children,

KAISER'S YACHT METEOR
DAMAGED BY GALE

LONDON, April Is.-The voyage from
New York OF the .rman imperial yacht
Meteor III. which anchored or Hythe,
in Southampton water yesterday evening,
was by no means uneventful. She had
plenty Of bad weather, and once, even the
safety of the yacht was endangered.
Lieutenant Commander Karpf, Emperor
williams representative on board the Me-
teor in an interview with a representative
of the Associated Press, said:
with a strong northwest wind the
yacht proceeded under her own canvass
for the first couple Of days leaving the
steamer Scotia behind and ultimately los
ing sight of her altogether. During the
night of April 3, we again picked up the
steamer by night signals. and in the even
ing of April 4, we were taken in tow until
April g. when, owing to heavy swell the
ropes carried away. Towing was resum-
ed on the following day. when the wind
had fallen. The tow rope again parted
April 10 in a hard westerly gale.
ION April II, while again towing hard
easterly blow sprang up. Owing to
heavy seas the Scotia was only just able
to keep steering way. The seas broke
over her continually. At'4 o'clock in the
of April y, the Meteor's bob stay
carried away. We cut away the Tow rope.
hove to and tried hard to secure the bow
spirit but we found that to be impossible
and the bowsprit was ultimately carried
away, seriously endangering the safety
of the yacht and ali on board Of her. We
managed however. TO recover the spar.
The weather became so bad that we
were obliged to heave to for twenty-four
hours. Thereafter. the weather was gen.
orally fine. We towed the rest Of the day
to port.
''The Meteor behaved splendidly and re-
manned dry throughout the bad weather.
She IS a fast sailer."

AN OLD NEWSPAPER
OWNED BY OSCAR RAY I

A newspaper which is more than 100
years old is owned by oscar Ray, of the
firm of Stewart & Ray.
The paper is the Ulster County Gazette.
which was published at that time at
Kingston, Ulster county, by Samuel
Freer & Son. The paper owned by Mr..
Ray is the eighty@eighth number of the
second volume 1t was issued on Satur-
day, January 4th, 1SOO.
An account of the death and interment
of General George Washington with &C
counts of. the services held by the senate
of the United States and by the house Of
representatives, are found in the paper.
SO much space was in fact devoted to
this account that the editor explains in
note to his subscribers that ii is neces-
sary to condense other news, which he
accomplishes by stating news that would
now be given half page in a space of
three lines.
The noticeable thing about the Ulster
County Gazette is the old style IS" which
so much resembles the modern 'f'' as to
confuse those who are unaccustomed to=it.
1t is the advertisements that are most
interesting.
The following is a sample:
For Sale: The one-half of a saw mill,
with a convenient place for building, ly-
ing in the town of Rochester. BY the mill
is an inexhaustible supply of pinewood.
ana also, stout, nealtnys' active negro
wench. Any person inclined to purchase
may know the particulars by applying to
John. Schoonmaker, at Rochester"
A second advertisement demonstrates
that domestic infelicities are not the re-
suit of the modern civilization to which
they are frequently attributed. 1t is
headed Second Notice." and contains the
following information:
Second notice of my wife. Hannah, is
II. oil 80
whatever from harboring or keeping her,
and from trusting her on my account, as
1 am determined to pay no more debts Of
her contracting.
"MATYS VAN STEENBERGH."
An idea of the value of land at the time
the Ulster County Gazette was printed is
contained in the following notice.
ITO be Sold: A farm lying at Little
Shandakan, in the town of woodstock,
holden to lease forever, at five pounds
year. Containing, according to the lease,
$50 acres. About 20 acres cleared, with a
new blockhouse of two rooms on the
same. For further particulars and an
indisputable title apply to
'HEARDRICK POST"
The old paper is very highly valued by
Mr.. Ray. He has had 1t for many years
and exhibits 1t on rare occasions to his
friends. 1t is yellow with age and is
cracking in many places, but the print
ing is still plain and the news must have
been interesting at the time it was pub
lished to the readers OF the sheet.

THINKS GOOD DEAL DEPENDS
ON TERRELL'S ELECTION

To the Editor of The Journal:
see June 5th is the day on which the
voters of this state will decide the charac-
ter of man who shall be governor of this
the leading state of the south. Very much
depends on the men we are putting in
office at this time as to the victory or de-
feat of the Democratic party in the next
national election. Consequently, the first
requisite Is a true Democrat. We have one
asking for the place who has in every
way shown himself worthy of the support
of every Democrat in this state. He has
conducted himself as a dignified gentle
man in making the race. Not word of
any nature has he spoken against his OPP
ponents. He has no personal grudge to
satisfy against any corporation. OF course,
there is no doubt but Terrell will be gov
ernor But we should make his majority
as large as possible to put the stamp Of
disapproval on the practice of mudsling-
ing among contestants for office. Again,
can the people of this state AFFORD to cast
their vote for a man who is antagonistic
to the railroad interests when they have
done so much for the state? What would
be our condition without them? Do we
not boast of the number of miles in Geor-
gia? Does every voter in the state not
feel a pride in our magnificent system of
railroads. Shall we put the wrench Of
power in the hands of a man to tighten
the screws of oppression for personal sat
isfaction? AS for prohibition, we can get
II and will get it just as quick with Ter
rell for governor as man who is posing
as a prohibitionist candidate If the people
want it. This part of southwest Georgia
IS composed of solid, old fashioned demo-
Gratis with the new style trimming of
prohibition, railroad oppression, etc.,
left off. So we are going to give Terrell
the best we have.
