KIMBALL HOUSE

The Famous Old Hotel Has Been PO-

For MANY Years.

ATLANTA.-Is the famous old
Kimball House to pass from exist
ence as a hotel?
Rumors current here now are to
the effect that the owner, John w.
Grant, has determined to turn it into
pig office building sometime within
the next year or so.
For many years the Kimball was
the leading hotel in Atlanta, and the
political storm center of the state.
Here the politicians always gathered
for the legislative sessions, during
campaigns or political meetings.
Many big and important political
events have been framed up within
its old walls. 1t has been the head
quarters and the home during legis-
Iative sessions of many of the IA
nous men in Georgia for more than
a quarter of a century.
Within recent years other finer no.
tells have been built and these have
cut into the KimbaIl's patronage.

EXPORT TRADE HAS IMPROVED
Recent Exports of Grain and Cotton
Are Shown by Treasury Depart

Government Assets Two Billion.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Although
government revenues from customs
fell off about $9,500,O0O during Sep
TENDER, compared with the same
month in 1913, treasury officials to-
day found some comfort in figures
showing recent exports in grain and
cotton. There was encouragement,
too, in the announcement that, for
September, the ordinary internal rev.
enue receipts were almost 100000
above those for last September, al
though this increase is said to be
due to unusual causes.
Despite the help from increased
internal revenue the total receipts
for the month from all sources were
nearly S6,000,000 under last Septem-
Der and the excess of disbursements
for the month was nearly $500, 900,
while in September, 1913, the excess
of disbursements was about $4,000
600.
During the week ending yesterday
58.114 bales of cotton were exported,
and yesterdays grain exports aggre-
gated 1885, 900 bushels. Of the cot
ton Galveston shipped more than
46.259 bales; New York, $3.50 bales;
New Orleans, $500; Savannah, l.
$50; Charleston, 900; Boston, so;
Philadelphia, IS. The cotton went
to England, the Netherlands, Italy,
Spain, Mexico, Sweden, Portugal and
other countries. OF the grain 49,
600 bushels went from New Orleans;
$4,000 from Baltimore: 538, 900
from Galveston; 10000 from Phila-
delphia, and 1000 from New York.
The grain went chiefly to England,
Holland and Norway.
