 Champagne? its people 
 need no other stimu¬

 in their walk, and 
 hear it in their talk. 
 Few die and none re¬ 
 sign their citizenship — 
 those who go away, 
 come back when they 
 can. There is no 
 place like Atlanta, and 
 no tonic like the “At¬

 TLANTA 
 
 Atlanta is on the crest of the ridge that divides the 
 watershed of the Atlantic from that of the Gulf, and an altitude 
 of 1,050 feet above sea level gives the city a bracing atmos¬ 
 phere, which is conducive to vigor of body and mind. The 
 people are remarkably energetic, and this is evident to the 
 visitor in the first glance that he gets from the car windows. 
 Their vigor has made Atlanta a leader among cities. 
 
 Atlanta’s newspapers are easily the first in the South, and 
 the lawyers, ministers and professional men rank high among 
 their fellows. Naturally, the city is a center of progress and 
 development. 
 
 A great many people have the impression that Atlanta is 
 art of the South, and it is frequently compared to Chicago or

New York. As a matter of fact, about 95 per cent, of its people were born in the 
 Southern States. 
 
 There are within the city limits 130,000 people, and with the suburbs the commu¬ 
 nity has 160,000. The population of those engaged in gainful occupations is very large 
 and the steady industry of the population is a guaranty of continued prosperity. 
 
 The interest which attaches to Atlanta's past has drawn to the city thousands of men 
 
 who helped to make history here many years ago. This constant visitation has caused 
 
 Atlanta to be talked about as no other Southern city has been during the life of this 
 generation. 
 
 Another attraction is the magical growth which has never halted and never been 
 fully explained, but seems to have in it something distinctive and different from the rise 
 of any other community. There is an indescribable something about the city which im¬ 
 presses every stranger and fills the mind of the citizen with enthusiasm 
 
 A distinguished visitor at the Atlanta Exposition declared that the region surround¬ 
 ing is city is the most American part of America. The masterful spirit of the Anglo- 
 £ aX ° n 13 manifest here in the magnificent reconstruction of a city that was burned to the

ground forty-four years ago. In the surrounding country the rising tide of industry has 
 overflowed and obliterated the scars of war. General Sherman’s army destroyed a hun¬ 
 dred millions of property on its march through Georgia, and it took many years to make 
 good the loss, out now the State produces, in one year, enough cotton and cotton goods 
 to pay the enormous indemnity of that campaign. 
 
 General Sherman was impressed with Atlanta’s strategic importance, and pointed 
 out that any port of the Gulf or the South Atlantic could be reached from here in twelve 
 hours. The city became headquarters for the Department of the Gulf during the Spanish 
 war, and an effort was afterwards made to remove these headquarters to another point, 
 but the government, profiting by that experience, has finally fixed their seat here. 
 
 The topographic conditions which gave Atlanta its importance in war have made 
 it the railway and commercial center of the Southeast. 
 
 Atlanta stands at a point where the Eastern traffic, flowing down the Apalachian 
 chain, meets in confluence the great stream of commerce from the West to the Southern 
 Seaboard. The vast traffic of East and West which flows into Atlanta radiates through 
 the Southeast. Thus, from a railway point of view, Atlanta holds a commanding position

and has become the headquarters for a large part of the railroad business done in the 
 Southwestern States. 
 
 As the metropolis of the Piedmont region, Atlanta' will profit by the great stimulus to 
 trade and industry which will come from the opening of the Panama canal. There are 
 already large exports of cotton goods to China from Georgia and the Carolinas, and this 
 
 trade wiii grow pjfvb, *H h h\ r > +h Al pff BVhOT 6 A rphi\/o

 of Georgia and other systems are connecting up their trunk lines 
 
 through Atlanta to the Atlantic, the Mississippi, and the Gulf, and this city is on the 
 great highway of American goods moving southward to the sea. 
 
 In the anticipation of the immense growth of business, the railroad companies are 
 spending millions of dollars to enlarge their terminal facilities in and around Atlanta.

lines, and large extensions of freight terminals are being made by the Southern and the 
 Louisville and Nashville systems. The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic is constructing 
 extensive terminals and the first passenger train recently entered the city. 
 
 The system of local transit, covering 161 miles of electric railway, is one of the best 
 in the country, and is probably the most extensive for a city of Atlanta’s size. This has 
 caused a rapid extension of the residence district and beautiful homes have been, erected 
 several miles beyond the city limits in several directions. There is an inter-urban line 
 from Atlanta to Marietta, 20 miles out, and others are to be built to Macon and Augusta. 
 
 Atlanta is the most accessible city in the South, and for this reason the stream of 
 travel is constantly increasing. I here are seventy-nine towns of 4,000 population and 
 upward in Georgia, the Carolinas, Alabama and Mississippi. The average distance of 
 these towns from Atlanta is 281 miles, which is 80 to 170 miles less than the distance from 
 nearest important centers. 
 
 Atlanta is Southern headquarters for most of the great national corporations that do 
 business in this section. It is the third insurance center of the country and easily the 
 first in the South. Railways, telegraphs, telephones and many such interests have here 
 their headquarters for from five to twelve States. 
 
I 
 
Steel and stone skyscrapers have shot up in rapid succession and the heart of the 
 city looks like the lower part of Manhattan Island. There is no other city in the South 
 that has the metropolitan appearance Atlanta presents. It has one square mile that can 
 hardly be equalled anywhere on this continent outside of New York, Chicago and 
 Philadelphia. 
 
 The growth of the city is by no means confined to office buildings. The manu¬ 
 factured products of Fulton county, including Atlanta, increased from fifteen to thirty mil¬ 
 lions from 1900 to 1905 and are now forty millions. There are nearly twice as many 
 wage-workers and the city is constantly crowded with well-to-do strangers who have come 
 to engage in business. The banks are loaded with deposits and one member of the 
 Clearing House has as much as all six of them had ten years ago. Atlanta’s importance as 
 a business center is indicated by the fact that Georgia produces a cotton crop worth one 
 hundred millions, or more than the gold product of the entire country. The States 
 making up the Southeastern group, of which Atlanta is the natural center, produce a cot¬ 
 ton crop worth about three hundred millions, and turn out cotton goods worth one hun¬ 
 dred and fifty millions. The total manufactured product of these States is 600 millions. 
 

The supply business for all this vast industry is immense, and Atlanta gets a large share 
 of it. 
 
 A strong feature of Atlanta’s industry is its variety. The people are hospitable to 
 new ideas and not fastened in old grooves. Home industries are well patronized, and 
 the percentage of success in new industries is very high. 
 
 The activity of the Chamber of Commerce has had a happy effect upon the spirit of 
 
 unity and co-operation among business men. A custom of frequent meetings to talk over 
 
 matters of general welfare or mutual concern has developed the business men of this city 
 
 in a remarkable way. The Chamber of Commerce has on commercial Atlanta very much 
 
 the same influence which the New England town meeting had on the sturdy pioneers in 
 
 the land of steady habits. This influence is educational along the line of robust self- 
 
 government and co-operation, and in the midst of the contact of minds a suburb spirit of 
 civic pride is generated. 
 
 Atlanta is a clean, well-governed city. The tax rate is only 1$ per cent, on a 
 moderate valuation of property, which aggregates $92,000,000. The United States cen¬ 
 sus credits Atlanta with the lowest tax rate, with two exceptions, on actual value to be

found in the South, among cities of over 100,000 population. While the nominal rate is 
 1.25 it amounts to only .75 on real value. The bonded debt of $3,495,500 is less than 
 the constitution limit by over two millions. It is covered by a sinking fund which provides 
 for the payment of all bonds within 30 years from the date of issue. 
 
 The fire, police, sanitary and other departments are economically administered and 
 ably managed, by efficient chiefs, with the support of able boards of business men. 
 
 The city is divided into eight wards, each represented by one alderman and two 
 councilmen. On all appropriations a majority of the aldermanic board and the council in 
 separate sessions must be given. 
 
 The water supply is taken from the Chattahoochee River, clarified in a settling basin 
 and filtered before being pumped into the city. The rate to residents is 60 cents a 
 
 month for each house, and for manufacturers 6 cents per thousand gallons in large 
 quantity. 
 
 Electric power for varied industries is available in and around Atlanta through the 
 development of a large water power on the Chattahoochee River, 18 miles from the city, 
 at Morgan Falls, where a massive masonry and concrete dam has been built by the

Atlanta Water and Electric Power Co., and machinery has been installed for the develop¬ 
 ment of water power and its transformation into electric current, which is transmitted to 
 Atlanta. Part of it is used by the Georgia Railway and Electric Company, and the re¬ 
 mainder is distributed to manufacturers by the same concern. 
 
 Atlanta is the greatest publication center in the South. The records at the Post 
 Office Department show that the various publications pay the Government more on 
 second-class matter than it receives from Baltimore, Louisville, New Orleans, San Fran¬ 
 cisco or Pittsburg. In other respects the records of the post-office show a remarkable 
 growth. The difference between postal orders issued and those paid in Atlanta leaves a 
 balance of about $1,750,000 in the city’s favor. This is evidence of a thrifty mail-order 
 business, which has sprung up in the past few years and is yet in its infancy. A great 
 factor in the upbuilding of the city is its civic pride. However they may be divided on 
 all other questions, the people are a unit on everything that affects the prosperity of the 
 city. This sentiment is so pronounced that it was long ago emphasized by the name 
 “Atlanta Spirit,” and the appeal to this spirit is never in vain. 
 
THE KIMBALL 
 HOUSE 
 
In some respects this city is the most important educational center of the South 
 About 15,000 pupils are enrolled in the public schools and 6,000 students entered in 
 institutions of higher education. The finest polytechnic institution in the South is the 
 Georgia “Tech." and its graduates hold important positions all over the world. There are 
 170 churches, four theatres, several libraries, numerous parks and many beautiful residence 
 streets. Green grass, spacious lawns and shade trees which arch the street in many 
 places, are features which add much to the charm of Atlanta’s homes. 
 
 Atlanta has for many years been known as the Convention City of the South, and 
 the city has some of the best hotels in the United States. The Piedmont, Kimball 
 and Aragon all entertained Presidents of the United States, and the Majestic and Marion 
 are well known. 
 
 The city has provided $250,000 to build an Auditorium-Armory on a lot 200 by 300 
 with a seating capacity of 8,500 and a smaller hall for ordinary occasions, also quarters 
 for the Fifth Regiment, the Governor’s Horse Guards and Governor’s Light Artillery. The 
 building is under construction. ' 
 
THE 
 
 MAJ ESTIC 
 
 THE 
 
 A R AGON 
 
The expression “Atlanta air is like champagne,” sprang from the brain of a local en 
 thusiast who has never tasted that beverage, but the revelation is never-the-less inspired, 
 and many there be who will attest its truth. 
 
 Atlanta has long been noted for its delightful climate, and the city has become a 
 great resort for tourists and health-seekers. It is hard for people from higher latitudes to 
 realize that Atlanta is a summer resort, cooler by far than the average American city. 
 There are summers here as elsewhere, but not long ones, and the nights are almost al¬ 
 ways cool and breezy. Very few even of the days are uncomfortably warm. 
 
 The suburbs, so easily accessible in every direction by rapid transit, are pictures of 
 restfulness and refreshment. There are golf links, beautiful drives, lakes and beautiful 
 country clubs, known as the Piedmont Driving Club, and the Athletic Club.
