Bank of Atlanta, and representa-
tive of Mr.. w. S. Witham and
his system of banking, reached
the city at noon on yesterday for
the purpose of or .sanizing a new
bank.
By three O'Clock all the stock
was subscribed and at $3.50 pm,
a meeting was held in the office
of T. M. Cheatham, where per.
manent organization was perfect

Mr.. A. C. Garbutt.
A lot for a bank building was
bought during the afternoon,
the site being the vacant lot
next to Mr.. J. W. Leath's store.
The name of the new bank
will be the Peoples Bank and the
capital stock $25,0OO.0O. The
following five directors were
named who will meet later and
elect two more: A. G. Garbutt.
E. S. Cotton, T. M. Cheatham,
DR.. Quitman Holton and IT. M.

The stock was quickly sub
scribed, all of it being done in a.
bout three houre. The Broxton
citizens have a majority of the
stock and the bank will be purely

A NEW KIND OF COLONY.

Social mOVem entS, which IN
volved the colonization idea, have
not infrequently failed in this
country, but there have bean
some marked successes of which
Georgia is able to afford exam
pies. But an experim ent is about
to be undertaken in Maryland of
a somewhat novel character.
About two years ago there were
thirty families of Russian Jews
living in Baltimore and all en-
gagged in the tailoring business.
They came to the conclusion
that life in the crowded tene-
ments in which their work was
done, left great deal to be de-
sired, so they conceived a plan
to acquire homes of their own
on farm lands so near the city
that they could not only carry
on their trade, but could engage
in the cultivation of the land for
their own sustenance. To this
end each of the families depos-
tied 81 a week in a common fund.
After two years they have pro-
ceeded to acquire title to ESQ
acres of land in Howard county,
upon which they have paid So, 500
in cash. The property is valued
at $14, 500, so mortgage of $12,-
900 remains to be liquidated.
The plan is to build a small
house for each family upon the
farm and to divide the land
among them, giving to each fam
lily between eight and nine acres,
which will be owned by that par
ticu1ar family. Thus these Jews
will gain for themselves health
full environment, while doubling
their ability to make a livelihood.
The women can work at clothes
making, while the men work in
the fields providing the neces-
sites of life at only the farmers
cost.
What gives this plan it's espec-
ial promise of working out salts
factorily is that all the property
is not owned by the people in
common, but title vests in each
family, so far as the land and
house it occupies is concerned.
The result will be awaited with
very great interest by socio1o-
gists and economists. The pres
ervation of the individuality Of
the family must count strongly
for success. When the land and
homes have been paid for, the
members of the community may
be free to incorporate their vii
lage, if they choose, and thus a
new city may be established.
We do not think a plan exactly
like this has before been under.
taken in this country. Probably
that upon which Fitzgerald, Ga !,
was built affords the closest par
alle1. In that instance. the found
ers we're war pensioners for the
most part, thus having revenues
individually, apart from their
labor. In the case of the Ba1ti-
more tailors, they have their
trade in which they will continue
to engsge.-Macon Telegraph.

later the roar of the guns will be heard from
the mountains to the seashore and from the rls-

Why, Editor Camp! Why on earth do you
say that? Specify one word or sentence on that
line from this paper, one unkind word we have
said of Mr.. Howell, or any other candidate in
this race-and we haven't seen it from any other
paper. With all caudor, it does seem that the
Howell supporters have an absolute monopoly
on the ugly things that are being said in this
campaign.
"Trade at home" is the motto of the Enter
prise, long established. We believe firmly in
that faith. It is town building doctrine. How
ever much we may say against the practice of
sending to Chicago and other cities for goods
that can be had at home it is impossible to head
off the catalogue fends. The catalogue man is
an advertiser. He sends out his books with his
wares and his prices clearly set out so as to at
tract attention. The mail order houses are adj
vertising in Fitzgerald great deal more than
the merchants advertising. There are two
sides to this question. This is an advertising
age, and the catalogue man understands it to his
advantage. Mr.. Smith and Mrs. Jones, DR..
Johnson and the rest of them received cat
alogue or metropolitan paper with well written
advertisements, calling attention to the bargains
they offer and the Mr.. and Mrs. and the DR.. fire
in mail order, not knowing that the sam goods
are in the home stores at cheaper prices.
Who is to blame?
Certainly not the Enterprise.

TRIO TRACTION WAVES.
The Matter OF Expense is What
Prevents the Running OF Trains at
a Speed OF l2o Miles an Hour.

At present the very high speed elcc-
trlc railway Is little heard OF In Eng
land, and even In Germany, where the
Berlln-Iossen experiments showed that,
given straight, well.laid and we'll
balanced track, a speed Of 100 miles an
hour was possible and safe, It has
rather dropped out of imminent prob
ability. The question seems at present
principally one of expense. Very heavy
cars are required fo;. .any speed over
eighty miles an hour; no curve can be
taken without slackenlng Of speed II It
has radius OF less than n mile; and n
car containing, say, sixty people, would
with It's necessary transformers and
motors require 1000 horsepower TO
urge 1t at a rate Of 100 miles nm hour
The curves are the principal difficulty;
so that in order to run trains at these
speeds it will be necessary to construct
new railway lines.
At present public interest In Germany
Is concentrated on the possibility Of
hlgh-speed electric traction between
Berlin and Hamburg, which, II n new
straight line were built. would be 155
miles distant by rail. During the dis
cusson of the high-speed experimental
line Messrs. Siemens and Halske pro.
posed slngle-track electric line at n
cost of $17500,0OO, on which trains
would run the whole distance either
way, with stop half way, In five
minutes under two hours. The Gen
tral Electric Company propose double
line, on which trains would travel 100
miles an hour and do the journey in
one hour and twenty-five minutes, for
s32 100000. For s37, 100000 they be-
lleve they could raise the speed to
l25 miles an hour.-London Post.

Slight Mistake.

There is an old story Of an authority
on Buddha whose next neighbors at
dinner insisted on bringing the talk
back to agricultural products, under
the impression that "butter" was the
magic word uttered in her ear by her
hostess. This story has had many sue
cessors, one of which relates to Sir
Henry Howorth and his book, "a His
tory of the Mongols." He met at an
afternoon reception a young woman
who, after surveying him with inter-
est, launched into discourse on dogs,
telling him she had three, and had al
ways been pleased that each of them
had such good pedigree. Though
I don't know that it counts for much,'
she said at last. "Some of yours, no
doubt, are cleverer than any of mine"
"But I have no dogs" said Sir Henry,
bewildered. "Oh, well, / mean those
you've written about" said the young
woman, quickly. "But I've never writ
ten about any," said Sir Henry. "You
haven'tr exclaimed the young woman.
"Why, I'm sure somebody told me you
had written book on mongrels"'-

WISE WORDS.

The pursuit Of money Is painful, but
Its possession is often more so.
There's no power in the piety that
seems TO give a man perfect pain.
Better the hands that ache from toll
than the heart that aches from trouble
Temptations are sure to ring your
doorbell, but it's your fault If you ask
them to stay TO dinner.
Perform a kind action, and you find n
kind feeling growing in yourself, even
If 1t was not there before.
Those who reason only by analogies
rarely reason by logic, and are gener-
ally slaves to imagination.-C. Sim
mons.
How evenly things are balanced in
this world! The foolish benefit from
the wisdom Of the wise, and, in return,
the wise must suffer for the follies Of
the foolish.
Men born with silver spoons in their
mouths are but poorly fitted to sit in
judgment on those who labor. Moth

having "been there"
Happiness, content and right salts

places lighted up, heaven begun here

THE STRENGTH OF BIRDS.

Birds can eat and digest from ten to
thirty times as much food in proper
ton to their size as men can. If a man
could eat as much In proportion to his
size as a sparrow Is able to consume he
would need whole sheep for dinner, a
couple of dozen chickens for breakfast
and six turkeys for his evening meal.
A tree sparrow has been known to eat
700 grass seeds in day. Relative to
the birds size, these seeds were as big
as an ordinary lunch basket would be
to full grown man.
A birds strength is equally amazing,
says the Indianapolis News. A white
tailed eagle weighing twelve pounds,
with wlng-spread of six feet, has
been known to pounce on a pig weigh
ing forty-two pounds, raise it to a
height of 100 feet and fly off with It.
The bird had covered distance of half
a mile before the pigs owner succeed
ed in shooting the thief.
Birds can and do work far harder
than human beings. A pair Of house
nluTtinS WHtn ucSliHS VIII iecu thNA
young ones in twenty seconds-that is,
each bird, male and female, makes
ninety journeys to and fro in an hour,
or about 1000 a day. 1t must be re-
membered that on each journey the
bird has the added weight of catching
the worm.
Even so tiny bird as the wren has
been counted to make 40 trips to and
from its nest within 430 minutes, and
the prey it carried home consisted Of
larger, heavier and harder-to-find in
sects than were caught by the spar
rows. Among them were twenty good
sized caterpillars, ten grasshoppers,
seven spiders, eleven worms and mol~
than one fat chrysalis.
