More Houses Wanted.

THE DISPATCH has had appli-
cations the past week for several
houses and the real estate men
have been unable to supply the
demand for, the houses are not
here vacant. With the rapid
growth of the city there will
continue a good demand cor
cottage homes we'll located here
and it would seem that those
who own good sites and are in a
position to build would take adj
vantage Of this opportunity and
erect number Of good cottages.
Cottage building is a good in
Vestment. This class of proper
" pays a better return than any
other property and the class of
tenants asking homes now is the
class willing and able to pay good
rentals. The prospect is that
Column bus will continue he1
steady growth and homes will be
needed for those who are coming
here.
With good fall and winter
which is assured, there will be
another great industrial year in
Columbus in 1905. With the
passing of the busy season those
who have prospered will cast
about for profitable investment
and the industrial enterprises
will be the fields invaded This
will mean more people here for
employment, more homes need
ed. Build cottages and prepare
place for the inflow of Colum.

Brotherhood of Railway Tranmen.

Messrs. @. E. Barham, Chandos
and T. I. Halbert are the leaders
in a movement to organize a
lodge of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen in this city.
The purpose of the undertaking
is to organize the men in this
city who run on the Greenville
division of the Southern, there
being fully twenty five here who
are eligible for membership.
There are already a number of
the mem bers of the order here,
who have their mem bership in
the Biz mingham lodge and they
are anxious to establish a local
branch of the order in this city
that the men here may get the
full benefit of it.
Grand Master P. FL. Morrissey,
of Cleveland, Ohio. has been
written to in the matter and he
is making an investigation of the
situation with a view of granting
a charter to the local branch.
The railroad men here are strong
enough to organize and the
movement is meeting with great
favor

The College Opens.

Last Wednesday witnessed the
Opening of the College, the
opening exercises occurring in
the chapel of that institution at
ten o'clock. The attendance was
large, the audience representing
not only this city, but many
prominent cities over the State
as well. The visitors and stu
dent body with the faculty filed
the large auditorium.
The exercises celebrative OF
the commensurate of the session
were simple and brief, the ad
dress to the student body being
made by Hon. E. N. Thomas, of
Greenville, and Gov. Vardaman
also making a short address.
Without any attempt at elOquence
or oratory, Mr.. Thomas talk to
the girls was timely and appro-
pirate, full or sound sense ana
wholesome advice to the daugh-
tiers of the State, who had gather
ed at this great school to drink
at the fountain of learning. Gov.
Vardaman s address was short,
but pretty and effective and char
acteristic of the Governor.
The school begins the year
with the largest attendance in its
history, and students will con-
tinue to arrive for several days.
The faculty is larger than ever
and all have entered earnestly
into the work of the session.
Gov. Vardaman s presence here
was necessitated by a meeting of
the trustees, which failed for
want of a quorum.

The Great Lot Sale Next Week.

The greatest of all lot sales will
occur one week from tomorrow
afternoon. Lots worth from
three to FIVE hundred dollars will
be sold at public cutlery for what
they will bring. It will be the
last public sale Of the season and
long before another opportunity
is afforded to buy you a lot at auc-
ton this property will have en-
HANGED in value a hundred per
cent.
Already the trend of develop
ment has turned this way. The
Dodson Plow Co.'S. plant is close
to this property. the Southern
Machine Shops are only one block
from it, and other manufacturing
plants are promised this section
very soon. Considering it's loca-
ton, considering the demand for
real estate in this section, con-
Sideriug the number of people
who have already built homes all
around it, these lots have a mag
nificent future.
The season of money is at hand
now and the farmer as we'll as the
citizen of Columbus will do well
to look into this proposition. 1t
is a good one and worthy of in.

days ago from New York and the
Eastern markets where he has
been for the past month select
ing his fall and winter stock, A
reporter of the DISPATCH was
present yesterday when large
shipment Of goods was received
and opened and from the glimpses
we caught of the pretty dress
goods trimmings and other
things pertaining to woman s
wear, we conclude that THE
Woman's Store" will have on sale
this season the choicest line of
merchandise they have yet
brought out.
Miss Muller, Mr.. Leigh's new
trimmer, arrived bout two
weeks ago and has been busy
opening up the pretty things in
her department and preparing
for the fall opening which will,
perhaps, occur some time early
in October. Miss Miller was
born and raised in Atlanta, Ga.
and for the past twelve years has
held positions with some of the
leading firms in Georgia, Louis
lana. Texas and other Southern
states. She is lady of exquisite
taste, and not only an experienced
trimmer but a designer as well,
having designed the pattern hats
for several seasons for one of the
largest wholesale millinery firms
of the North. Being a Southern
lady she thoroughly understands
waiting on Southern trade. The
Woman S Store is to be congrat-
ulated on securing the service of
such competent help,

Seattle Hits, Fields and
Plays the Game Like
Champions in Every Round
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

The Seattle ball team again handed
out the usual potion of defeat to the
home team yesterday at Recreation
Park, making it four without a miss.
When it was made known that jay
Hughes would unwind his arm no one
expected San Francisco would get a
run. They did get one over, which
saved them from the shame of a white
wash. Score-Seattle 4, San Francis
co l.
Seattle played grand baseball, both in
the field and at the bat Also on the
bases the SiWaShes were there. They
hit in streaks, and when the clouting
began every man on the team would
follow up the advantage, so making
four runs was easy for them.
At that, they started of badly in the
first inning. Van Haltren beat a bunt
and Mohler drove a long fly out to deep
left field. 1t seemed Van could walk
home and still beat the ball, but Hide
brand executed one of the greatest
throws ever seen on the lot and nailed
Van at the plate by three feet. Dele
hanty hit safely, but the next two men
went out, so these three good base hits
went for naught.
Hughes pitched 2 splendid game The
San Francisco players seemed to realize
it was useless for them to try to assail
the curves of the former Brooklynite.
Jones got his whenever there were men
on the bases. The score:
