GEORGIA AVENUE
Council Committee Agrees to
Hasten Work on West End
Grant Park Boulevard.

Definite promises of important street
Improvements have been obtained to-
day as result OF complaints by COM
mittees of citizens to councils streets
committee.
The committee agreed with the south
side citizens that the work of building
the boulevard from West End to Grant
park should proceed at once. The com
mittee also agreed to a new grade for
Georgia avenue, an improvement not
contemplated in the original plans.
The city now has $4,000 to spend on
this work, and. with the citizens, mem
bers of the streets committee went be-
fore the county commissioners today
and urged that the improvement be be-
gun Immediately
The building of this boulevard has
been authorized by council since 1910.
The work IS in progress and under
passes have been provided at the juno
tion of Glenn street and the Southern
and Central railroads. But the prop
erty owners have become very much dis
satisfied with the progress of the work
and large committee of citizens, with
r. R. Otis as chairman, was appointed
at recent mass meeting to see that
proper progress is made
Contracts were let to Thomas Mead
or, Jr., for the paving with wood blocks
of West Hunter street, from Whitehall
street to Madison avenue, at $2.75 per
square yard and Poplar street. from
Peachtree street to Broad street, for
So per square yard. The difference in
the price is due to the fact that only a
short block of Poplar street is to be
paved

ised that the West Mitchell street i'm
provement would be taken up at once.

WHILE BROWN KICKS
TOM WATSON MAKES
CONCILIATORY TALK

MADISON, GA. Aug Sl-Thomas
E. Watson addressed gathering Of
about loo persons yesterday after
noon at Appalachee, in Morgan county,
the occasion being barbecue dinner
for the benefit of the new public school
building being erected by the citizens
of that place. Mr.. Watson's address
was very eonciliatory in it's nature, and
no unpleasant utterances were voiced
by him. He did not refer to national
politics, either directly or indirectly
In contrast to Mr.. Watson's speech
was that of j. J. Brown. unsuccessful
candidate for commissioner of agricul-
ture, who had Watson's support in the
recent primary and convention. Mr..
Brown declared that he had been le-
gally elected to the office, and that had
it not been for an illegal assumption of
representation by some man who an
sWered the call of Chattooga county,
he would have been elected on the first
ballot at Macon.
In answer to the fertilizer trust
charge, he declared that the declara-
tions made against him on the floor Of
the convention were maliciousIy false
and were made solely to defeat him.

\ beautiful and Impressive ceremony
was performed yesterday at the Bap
fist church when the five young men
who had been elected by the members
of the church TO fill the important Of
fee of church deacons, were duly in
stalled in that sacred office Those
chosen by their fellow members We're
Messrs. Frank Gates, Walter Marsh,
A. NJ. Wing, Samuel Christian and W.
7. Gary. Before the ceremony Pastor
Chapman delivered to them a short
charge, the keynote of which was duty,
and of that duty about the most i'm
portant was the attendance on all
meetings associated with church work
especially the regular meetings of the
board of deacons for the transaction of
business. AS the young men knelt at
the altar the other deacons formed a
semi-circle around them and the pas
tor offered up a fervent prayer to the
throne of grace that each might be
imbued with a knowledge of the
sanctity of the office and will to per-
form all the duties which it imposed
upon them. He then placed his hand
on the head of each in turn and each of
the deacons following the example of
the pastor, passed along the line and
placed their hands the head of each
candidate. The whole proceeding was
simple, but beautiful in it's simplicity.
Those of the deacons who were pres
ent and took part were Messrs Isaac
Stevens, John Edwards. w. D. earn,
l. F. Ballard. J. ". Akin and DR..
Christian.
Aside from this ceremony the con-
gregation listened to some beautiful
music, especially during the offertory
at which time an instrumental duet
with Miss Mary Gates at the organ and
Mr.. E. R. Robinson with his VIOLIN
was one of the sweetest gems of music
We have ever heard, while a coval duet
| by Miss Marguerite Porter and Mrs
w. A Coin. was equal to anything
those talented musicians have sung.
The pastor preached short but soul
touching discourse from the simple
| text, But God" his theme being the
necessity of living in accorda nce with
| the divine law, and the disasters aris-
| ing from being governed by any other
/ He quoted Senator Tillman who said
that the cause of so much graft and
rascality in the official life Of today
| was simply because those who had the
power were using it entirely for their
| own worldly benefit with but little
thought of Him from whose hand all
good gifts and graces are received.
| Sunday next will be the last Sunday
| here of the Rev J. D. Chapman and on
| which occasion the church will more
than likely be crowded.

Amazing Progress that One Generation
Has Witnessed

Orchard Fl. Edmonds, Editor Manu-
facturers Record in New York
Sun of April 13)
In the last thirty years the popula-
ton of the South has increased IT'S
per cent, but during the same period
the capital invested in manufactures
increased $50 per cent, the value Of
mineral products 1880 per cent, the
output OF coal 1900 per cent, the value
of farm lands and buildings 305 per
cent, the resources of national banks
S91 per cent, and the expenditures for
common schools 525 per cent. These
figures indicate something of the amaZ-
ing increase in agriculture, in manu-
features and in banking capital as
compared with the increase in popula-
ton.
The value of farm products in the
South in 1880 was $3.50, 100000. Last
year the amount was over $4,000, 000,-
900, and was greater by s600,0O0.0 900
than the value of all the farm crops of
the United States as late as 1890.
The value of exports from Southern
ports last year was s747,000.00O, as
compared with 1857 100000 for the en-
tire county in 1890.
In 1890 the corn crop of the country
was ,489,000,000 bushels, while the
corn crop of the South in 1910 was
/ ,270, 900, 900 bushels. It is true that the
corn crop of the country in 1890 was
less than the average, but these figures
give an idea of the rapid development
of corn growing in the South, when in
one year it could produce crop almost
as large as even a small crop of the
entire country in 1890.
| The population of the sixteen South
ern states is 100000. while that o.
the United States in 1880 was 100000
but the capital invested in manufac'
turing in the South is now s3,000,o00,'
600, or $500, 600 900 more than the tota
capital invested in manufacturing IL
the United States in 1880
The South now has 100000 more
cotton spindles than the United State!
had in 1880 The value OF the minera
products last year was s369,000,o00 o.
$4,000, 900 more than the total value o
the mineral products in the United
Estates in 1880.
Last year the South mined $4,000.
leo0 tons of coal. while in 1880 tn
limited State. mined of bituminous an
anthracite coal only 71,4so,ooo tons.
Probably the most striking illustra
ton of the increasing wealth of tn
lSouth is that, though its population i
i17,000,00O less than that of the Unite
Estates in 1880. the individual deposit
in it's national banks exceed the in
ldividual deposits in the national bank
of the United States in 1880 by ss4,
600, 900.
| The South now spends for commo
school education over $4,000, 900, or
little more than the total expenditure
!, Of the United States in 1880 for com
mon schools.
