THE SAVANNAH BENEVOLENT
ASSOCIATION.
A Liberal Contribution to Pensacola

The Associated Press dispatch to the
MORNING NEWS from Pensacola yester.
day stated that In response to calls for
aid issued by the Young Mems Chris
tian Association Of Pensacola no reports
had been received at their rooms save
from New Orleans. AS there is no mention
of any contributions being received by other
organizations in Pensacola, the impress
sion may be created that New Or
leans is the only city that has opened
her purse to the afflicted people of our sister
city. Such, however, is not the case. Mr..
George G. Freeman, President Of the SaVan-
nah Benevolent Association, on Monday, the
18th inst, telegraphed to the acting Mayor
of Pensacola, asking him to whose order
contribution should be sent for the relief Of
the distressed, and received q reply the same
day to forward any contribution to the
Cashier of the First National Bank of Pen
sacola. Accordingly, on the 18th, Mr..
Freeman sent by express to Pensacola,
by direction of the acting Mayor, the
handsome donation of $500, accompa-
MED with expressions Of sympathy
for the suffering people. The Savannah
Benevolent Association are averse to pa
rading their deeds of charity, and hence no
publicity was given to this action at the
time. From some cause, possibly an over
sight, no acknowledgment Of the reception
of this contribution has been made in the
usual press dispatches from Pensacola,
and we consider it proper now to mention
the prompt action taken by the Savannah
Benevolent Association.
If this scourge should continue in Pensa-
cola, and the distress be increased, render
ing further relief necessary, we have no
doubt this noble association will duplicate
their liberal contribution.

Heve that the heads Of the water depart
ment were remiss in their duties in not fur
nishing fun supply OF water as formerly.
Allow me to correct any impression of that
kind.
The pump at the canal is now working up
to its full capacity, keeping the tank in
franklin square full to its overlooking point,
the overflow being carried of by pipe and
sewer into the BrOughton street sewer
From 2,SOO,C0O to 3,000,O00 gallons are
pumped daily. The pressure In the mains
is regulated by the quantity of water in the
tank, and this is now kept full, as stated, to
its OVERLOOKING point. During the hours
named bY your correspondent, It is well
known that the consumption Of water is
greater than for any similar period OF the
twenty-fOur. AT this season of the year the
quantity of water consumed daily is equal
to seventy gallons to each inhabitant, and
the want of pressure at different points is
due solely to the eXtravagant and willful
waste by consumers. Many have their
kitchen sinks and water closets running
continually, and in many other instances
large quantities go to waste simply because
the consumer has paid for it, as he ex-
presses himself.
1 can assure you, Messrs. Editors, there
has been no lack of endeavor on the part Of
the officers Of the works to force full sup
ply and greater pressure at sll times.

The circular letter OF the Southern Rail

rate from Atlanta to Brunswick is 40 cent
per hundred pounds, to Savannah a, to

and Richmond SIS. The rate to Baltimore Is
81 cents. The cid rate, or rather the one
IS superseded by this rate, was SO cents per
hundred-a reduction or % cents
per hundred. The rate to New York
and Philadelphia, which has been
81, was reduced 70 70, or 10 cents
per hundred less than formerly. The
old rate to Fall River, Boston and ProvI-

duced 10 cents per hundred and fixed at 50
cents. The rate from Atlanta applies also
70 Rome, Dalton, Chattanooga, CedartOwn

same as those from Macon to all points ex-
cept Brunswick. Athens cotton cannot be
shipped to Brunswick at Atlanta rates. The
Montgomery and Selma rates are the same
as the Atlanta rates. The rates from local
points are given in the circular of rates.
They are somewhat higher than the rates
