ENCUMBERED OR FREE?

BY Hon. Martin V. Calvin in Atlanta
News.
Strolling up Peachtree street a few
days ago, a friend and myself were
admiring the beautiful homes which
adorn that great thoroughfare-I might
well have said, that splendid avenue
But there are homes in Atlanta
quite as stately and handsome on some
of the less Travelled streets, and there
are homes less commanding outward
ly, but on the inside full to overflow
ing with those elements which, after
ALL constitute home in its truest and
sweetest sense.
Atlanta's 10000 homes authorize the
claim of a population of 100000 souls.
1t is not that view of the case l pro-
pose to present.
Have you ever stopped to inquire
how many of the homes in our cities
are owned by the people who occupy
them? How many of the homes thus
owned and occupier are encountered
or mortgaged, and how many are
free?
Have you taken the trouble to ascer-
tain what per centum of the people
presumably prefer to rent rather than
own a home?
l say prefer" for it is almost a
certainty that a large number of those
who rent could each own a home if
they half tried or wished to do so.
The facts which l am about to give
should challenge your attention. They
are true and tell "a story" as interest
ing as a romance, almost.

Facts of Interest to Confederate and Union
Veterans and Others

Pine Crest Villa, Maitland, Fla,
July 16.-Some time ago, on the au-
thority of Rev. DR.. Geo. G. Smiths
history of Georgia, I stated that the
late Rev. DR.. Stephen Oln, n Metho-
dist like DR.. Smith, although a North
ern man, married a GEORGIA lady. But
his son (born in Georgia., Hon. w.
NJ. DIN, Secretary of State in Massa-
chusetts, writes me that this is a mis-
take-that his mother was not a Geor-
gian. So l mark one against Rev. DR..
Smiths book. Rev. Dr. Daniel
Curry, to whom 1 referred in my last
letter, when the split occurred in the
Methodist Church, left Columbus, Ga,
and cast his lot with the Northern
branch of the church. Few
readers of the Morning News are
aware that Judge Don A. Pardee, of
the United States Court. entered the
u. S. Naval Academy in 1854, and was a
classmate until he resigned, in 1857, of
Admiral George Dewey. In 1861, he en-.
tered the Union army as major of
the Forty-second Ohio, and came out,
in 1864. as lieutenant colonel. But in
1865 he was given the brevets of colo
mel and brigadier general for gallant
and meritorious services Only

Regular army engineers are now en-
gagged in surveying the old Bull Run
or Manassas battlefield. for the camp
site of the troops to be there under
Gen. Corbin this fall. The illustrated
supplement of last Sundays New York
Tribune contains two pages of photo
engraVings of old familiar scenes on
the battlefield, among others the stone
bridge. McDowell's headquarters,
monuments at Henry Hill and Grove
ton, the fence where "Stonewall" Jack
son stood unmoved. and a large center
picture of Gems. Johnston and Beau
regard rallying their troops to the
colors. The sketch accompanying the
illustrations is not free from errors,
yet Il is full of interesting matter to
old soldiers who We're in those battles.
The statement that Sherman's and
Reyes brigades went into the first
Bull Run battle together is an error.
Sherman went in from the top of the
ridge, across the open space, but l or
dered Keyes to make a detour around
the ridge and come on the field to the
right. Keyes' brigade was held to-.
gether and left the field on the re-
treat in comparatively good order.
while Sherman's was badly scattered
and suffered serious losses.

high places of the Democratic party.
His election for the fifth time as Ala
bama's member of the National Com
mittee is an honor shared by only one
other member, and is a very high COM
pliment to Mr.. Clayton. The late Maj.

The Sunday magazine supplement of
the New York Tribune of last Sunday
has an interesting illustrated article on
Fort Stevens, near Washington. D. c.,
where the successful defense was made
on July II, 1864, against Gen. Jubal A.
Early's attack upon the capital. This
spot is now historic as the only one on
battle raging during the Civil War. He
was so interested in the fight that he
exposed himself on the earthworks,
but was quickly sent back to a place
of safety. In this battle there were
more generals, in one sense, than sol
diers. Besides Chief
Lincoln there were Gems. A. Mcdowell
Cook, H. G.. Wright, H. w. Halleck, c.
G. Augur and Secretary Stanton. This
led to a telegram sent to New York

Church.
The committee from the Ministerial
Association is now at work preparing
resolutions to be presented to Judge
Cam and Solicitor General Osborne,
asking that they take action against
the Thunderbolt management for al
lowing the amusements to be operated
on Sundays. These resolutions will be
presented to the Ministerial Associa-
ton by the committee tomorrow, and
if adopted will be sent to the officers
named above.
While the action of the association
cannot be predicted, it is probable it
will indorse the resolutions as drawn
by Rev. w. A. Nisbet, chairman of the
committee. The association has stood
behind the committee in everything
thus far, and it is improbable that it
will have any objections to offer to
the present course of action.
The resolutions will call the atten-
ton of the court and the solicitor to
the fact that the amusements running
on Sunday are running in open vio-
lation and disregard of the state laws.
They will call attention to the fact
that the management when asked to
close down the amusements, admitted
they were violating the law, but claim
ed the sentiment Of the community
would uphold them.
The officials will then be asked to
act, to present the matter to the grand
jury, and, if possible, have the mana
ger indicted and tried. What action
will be taken by the court officials
cannot be predicted, and nothing will
be said concerning the matter until
the resolutions have been received.

design was conceived, the memorial
consisting of a Celtic cross, resting on
a tomb decorated with the shamrock,
with marble floor and enclosure. en-
bellished by two cadelabres, one resting
on each side of the tomb.
The Erin go Braugh," or Harp Of
Erin, resting on the pedestal of the
cross, is perhaps the most striking
feature, with its graceful outlines and
delicate execution. The shamrock is
entwined with the strings in admirable
fashion. The front of the harp is
formed By the Maid of Erin. and the
entire structure indicates architectural
skill and esthetic taste
The idea of experimenting the build
ing OF his own monument occurred to
Sergt. killourhy while watching the
carving of monument to be placed

a daily visit. A year ago Sergt. Kill

DISTRIBUTION OF FUND
HOISe Smiths Idea for the Advance

Smith of Atlanta addressed the Geor-
gia Educational Conference this morn.
ing in the University Chapel his ad-
dress being one of the most magnif-
cent every heard there. He was over
whelmed with congratulations.
In opening his address. Mr.. Smith
referred to the probable disposition Of
the Peabody fund. of which he is one
of the trustees. The proposition now
is to give $1.O0O,00O to the Nashville
Normal School. This is being vigor-
ously opposed by Mr.. Smith, who is
in favor of distributing the money
among the various normal schools of
the South, instead of concentrating it
on one school. and also in favor of the
distribution of money among the rural
schools, so as to bring them up to .
higher degree of efficiency. Mr.. Smith
says that he has received within the
last two days from Senator Hoar and
Mr.. Richard Olney, two other members
of the committee, assurance that thev
will not stand by the proposition tn
give $1,000,0O0 to Nashville, but on the
contrary, that they agree with him as
to the proper distribution of the
money.
The idea of a great teachers college
seems to have beer practically aban-
doned. So in the judgment of Mr.
Smith the money will be divided among
the various normal schools and the
rural schools of the South.
On the subject of negro education
Mr. Smith was emphatic. He declared
himself in favor of educating the negro
but that the education should be ~
the right kind. The only intelligent
education is that which fits a chilli
for what he is to do in life. The negro
is here to stay. He is, in spite of the
education he has received, a poorer
workman to-day than he was when
emancipated from slavery.

This condition seems to be mat

there are no accidents in the world. but
that what we call accidents" and cir
