Announcement Friday that a piece
of business property in Decatur had
brought $50 a front foot illustrates
the rapid rise of property values in
that section. A few years ago a lot
like this could have been bought for
SO to S15 a front foot, and residence
lots now selling at $50 foot were $4
to so. Acreage has kept up the pro-
portion. Tracts in North Decatur

$500 an acre are now held close to
$1,000 and the owners are not anX-

Real estate men have been watch
ing intently the movement in the
Fourth Ward to raise the standard Of
property in that thriving section. The
movement has been launched by
Councilman Ashley, and is directed
toward the ownership of land by ne
groes in the formerly good white To-
Calities. The Councilman and his CO.
workers cite a number of instances TO
show that a large part of this ward
has been abandoned by former occu-
pants, and that property values are
steadily declining Two Of the things
sought to bring relief are the removal
Of Morris Brown College and the cree
tion of a concrete viaduct from the
foot Of Highland Avenue to a point
on CORTLAND Street near Baker. This
bridge would span the Butler Sire Il
dip and do a great deal toward re-
deeming the ward.
The New York Commercial leading
financial journal of the East sees
nothing more conspicuous in the pres
ent business situation than OppOrtu-
mites for investors. Dutch and 9TH
err European capitalists, it says, saw
that the clouds would soon blow
away in 1907, and they bought and

regardless of tariff changes Rail

This year differs verv materially
from 1907. IN the first place we have
no bankers panic and no chance of

Europe with the outbreak of the Bal
kan war, and Europe IS not in as
good a position TO buy as it was five
years ago We have the money now
and we should use 1T with courage
and Judgment just as the bankers and
capitalists of Amsterdam used theirs
in 1907 and 1908. We want no wild
boom in the stock market when
