Maine Gossip
Phantom Shoai.


Nightly rising through the blue.
They ward the ships away sd
In sun and wind and sheeted RAIN
Lurking here below,
Lies my shifting. wreck-strewn plain,
Where weird sen-gardens grow.
Far from flashing beacon rays,
Underseas lshide.
No rhythmic tolling bell-buoy stays
Rocking at my side.
Only twenty cursed hands
Cleaning in the night.
Laying bare my hidden lands
With an eefie light.
j. Donald Adams in The Bellman.
We have received a copy of what is
advertised as "our new State song, -
entitled, State Of Maine, My State of
wards The following bit of COM
ment is enclosed by the publishers:
The words of the song were written
several years ago, and it has been
sung to an old German air at re-
unions of many Maine clubs, notably
the Maine Club of New York, at a re-
cent meeting at the Waldorf Astoria,
and has been sung by the Portland
Board of Trade on it's annual tours
from one end of the State to, the other
and into Canada. Mr.. Edwards has
|reeently set the song TO original music
and has made Of 1t an inspiring State
song. As you are probably aware
several states in the Union have a
State song. The State of Missouri
offered and awarded $1,000 for its
State song. Kindly accept the en-
closed copy Of our State of Maine
song with our compliments. ! We
shall be pleased to have YOU notice I,
in the columns of your paper The
song is published by the Underwood
Music Co. of Portland.

John H. James. the well-known
banker and real estate operator, has
placed on private sale his former
home place at 314 Peachtree. on the
west side of the street between Por-
ter Place and Baker Street. and just
south Of the old J. Scott Todd lot.
This property was bought by Mr..
James fifteen years ago for $1,000,
or at the rate of little less than $3.50
a foot The two-story frame home
cost him about the same amount.
To- day property in this block is held
at $1,000 to 81 500 a foot, which would
make the 81 by 175-foot lot worth
$50 to SS6 400. The dwelling is
now rented as a boarding house
Mr.. James is also the owner of the
property at 1876 Whitehall Street, on
which is located the Martin & Knott
Furniture Company. This is on the
west side of the street just north Of
Trinity Avenue. Mr.. James bought
it a number of years ago for about
$4,000. and o-day holds it at $50
600 He is not yet ready to sell this
parcel, however

Atlanta continues to be a good mar
ket for apartment houses. Although
a number are constantly building,
there seems to be little trouble dis
posing Of them at good prices. Cor
dial interest accordingly conferred
around the transfer Of the Byron on
West Peachtree. near Linden, from
Byron Souders to I. P. Bradley, of
Newman, at $150,OOO. This was in the
nature Of a swap. Mr. Bradley put
ting In a Coweta County farm, besides
assuming a loan of $4,000 placed
June 80 through the Penn Mutual Life
Insurance Company, and giving notes
for most Of the difference.
The property is "a by 200 feet and
adjoins a 100-foot parcel which Mr..
Souders owns at the southwest corner
of Linden and West Peachtre& and
which was the old Bewick place.
The Byron contains eighteen apart
ments and rents for SIS, 900 year. It
is distinctive in the possession of
grotesque masks with which the front
pillars are studded. Mr.. Souders got
these from cast made by a local
artist, and he introduced many other
innovations picked UP here and there.

Twenty West Peachtree Cottages
To Sell James Home-University
Club PIans-Aragon Hotel Offer.

A park community plan which will
involve the expenditure of probably
$4,000 and revolutionize a section
of West Peachtree has been evolved
by Lavender Ray, owner of consid-
cradle property on West Fourteenth
and West Peachtree Mr. Ray will
utilize the depressed northeast cor
ner of West Peachtree and West
Fourteenth Streets for a handsome
three story apartment house and
erect 20 artistic cottages for young
married couples in a park space
which he owns between West Four
teenth and West Fifteenth Streets,
with frontage on West Peachtree.
Il hope to build the apartment
house for $4,000. although it may
cost more" declared Mr.. Ray in
speaking of his plans, "and to spend
an average of $4,000 to $4,000 on the
cottages. A handsome Colonnade will
extend over the West Peachtree en-
trance and the Colonnade effect will be
carried out through the string Of ten
cottages on either side. with porte
| eochere effects between the dwellings.
The trees will make it possible to pro-
vide little park and playground for
| children.
! where all couples can get their meals
and to supply all the cottages with
/ heat from a central heating plant
| possibly from the apartment house
| The dwellings, will be uniform in size
and architecture"
| Mr.. Ray has drawn rough plans for
/ the Colonnade and will soon begin
! sketches for the dwellings. His front
age on West Peachtree is IT'S feet
and the depth between the other
streets 572 feet. He expects to cut
a street like Grant Place through the
center of the property, to be so feet
wide at the front and 40 feet wide al
the other extremity. Attractive alley
ways will be provided for automobiles
and other Conveyances behind the
! cottages, and entrance can also be
! effected through the rear.
