Sam Peterby, q merchant from the
interior while attending the Mardi Gras
festivities at Galveston, united business
with pleasure by purchasing a bill @
goods from a prominent firm. He was
very politely received and n OF the
proprietors showed him over the
mense store. On reaching the fourth
floor the customer perceived q speaking
tube on the wall, the first thing OF the
kind he had ever seen.
"What is thai? ~ he asked.
10, that is q speaking tube; it lsa
great convenience. We can converse
with clerks on the first floor withou'
the trouble Of going down stairs"
"Can they hear what you say through
that? ?" asked the visitor.
Certainly and they can reply At the
same time"
aYou don't say sol" exclaimed the
visitor, MAY ! talk through
Certainly was the reply,
The visitor puts his mouth TO the
speaking tube and asked:
"Are Sam Peterby's goods packed up
yet??"
The people in the Office must have
supposed it was somebody else speaking.
for q moment later the distinct reply
came back:
mo. We have not packed them yet.
We are waiting for q telegram from his

The Work of Alteration and Remodel
ing Going Rapidly Ahead.
During the past three OF four days the
architectural design of the improvements
which are being made in the Chatham Ar
tillery armory has rapidly been devel-
oped by the mechanics who are employed
upon the work Of remodeling and enlarg-
Ing the structure. The brick work which
formed the wall on the west side from the
foundation to the line OF the floor above
the basement has been removed and three
square columns OF iron supporting an
iron sill have been substituted. BY this
change in the composition OF the wall "A
great deal Of unnecessary brick work has
been done away with and room made for
the substitution Of larger doors through
which, when opened, the pieces Of artillery
can be more eXpeditIously taken to and
from the armOry, while at the same time
additional light and ventilation will be
supplied TO that portion of the building
This alteration WAS not suggested when the
plan for the remodeling of the armOry was
referred to a few weeks ago. Tue after
thought as demonstrated by the work,
appears TO have been n happy one, and
has necessitated the expenditure of only
$500 or $500 in addition TO the amount for
Whlcn the orlRlnul estimate on the I'M
proYements 10 the building called. The
new metal cOrnice, which Is to surmount
the walls Of Che armory, is now being
placed in position, and that portion which
has been erected on the east
side attracted a great deal Of attention
yesterday. The fOnr new towers Of the
building have not been finished. They
VIII be surmounted by an ornament which
will place their plane of elevation about 3
feet higher than the present apex OF the
towers. The iron shingles intended for
the roof OF the structure have not been
laid. The improvements are, however,
being rapidly pushed, and IL Is expected
that they Will be completed about the lat
ter part OF September. The estimated
cost Is IN the neighborhood Of $1,000.

Refore the RaiIrond UnmmIssion.

The railroad commission has notified
various boards Of trade, and the railroads
interested, that argument on the follow
ing petition will be heard Aug. 6, at 10
O'Clock:
To the Honorable, the Railroad Commits
sion OF the State of Georgia: The petition of
the Chamber of Commerce of the city of At
lanta, through its general and special COM
nlttees on transportation, by their Chairman,
John n. Dunn and Aaron Hass, most respect
luly SHOWS That there exists in the State OF
Georgia an association Of railway companies
known as the Southern Railway and steam
snip Association; that all the railroad com
panies in SAID State belong to said assOcia-
ton, aud that the chief object of said assO-
citation IL to make and enforce from time TO
time contracts for a division of their earn
ings. In common parance, or rather in rail
rOau anu commercial parlauce. these con-
tracts are called pooling their charges This
practice Ia no doubt well understood by your
honorable body without further explanation
Petitioners are advised that this practice of
pooling their earnings by the railroads is a
violation of article ~, section 3 paragraph
!, OF the constitution Of the State Of Georgia
and of the policy OF the State as declared by
ne courts. The article Of the constitution
aforesaid renders all such contracts null and
void. The act Of 1879. section =, establishing
d railroad Commission in the state of Ggor-
gia, places all such contracts between rail-
ROAD companies in this State absolutely at the
disposal OF tns com mission, as petitioners AZ 2
advised The rates fixed BY sah southern
railway ana Steamship Association, and now
being enforced in Georgia by sand association,
are not only void under the constitution and
avs, but they most unjusty and injuriOusly
discriminate against the mercantile inter-
est or the principal business centres of Geor-
gia. To instance one of the many evils arts
ing from the pooling contracts Of said aesccia
ton, II allows to the merchants of Nashville
Tenn, what IL known as the reblllng privi-
ege, the direct effect OF which is an uninst
discrimination against every city in Georgia
ihe railroads of the STATE Of Georgia are par
ties TO This contract, and are continually be
ing used to carry out its purposes. Petition
ers feel the gross IL Justice done them and the
community they represent, and have repeat
ediy demonstrated with said association
Ihls has been gong on for wears. and now
under sense of sclf-preseryation, they are
constrained to ask legal redress.
In consideration Of the premises, petitioners
pray that your honorable body will take this
matter into consideration, that the proper
parties in interest may be brought before this
commission, that the actings aud doing Of all
he various railroad companies m Georgia, in
mo matter OF dividing their earnings and pre-
venting competition under any form OF con
tract, may be inquired into, to the end that
ms commission may pass such orders and
take such action as VIII enforce the laws of the
land and preserve the rights OF the people.

A False statement Coutradictod.

Editor Morning NewS-DEAR SIR: A
writer in yonr last issue who signs him
self "Alcebiades" has made several state
ments whose malicious intent are self
evident, and ! am bound in Justice to the
people of this city to take him to task.
In the first place, be states that ST.
Mary's, Ga, is the oldest city in the State.
A glance at any school history will cor
rect this error. and show that Brunswick
was settled in 1910, and is therefore the
oldest town in the country.
Again, this veraciOus chronicler saws
that 1t costs more TO dress wellv in Sa-
vannah than elsewhere. Our mutual
friend, Simon Mitchell. at 100 Brougb ton
street sign Of the Golden Arm), is ready
to retute this charge, and is demonstrating
every day that be can supply the very
finest grade Of Clothing ever offered in
Savannah at New York prices or less.
MIR. Mitchell has replenished his line of
summer goods several times this season
and now intends to make clean sweep
OF his remaining stock at prices that are
never touched by competitors. Nothing
will be carried over, consequently you
can put your own price almost on any
thing in stock. Yours respectfully,
TBERIUs CESAR.

A few months ago WoodvilL' had
colored clergyman named Hamilton. In
the course Of events he left the place and
came to Savannah. Late last night he
was arrested at the instigation OF one of
his former flock, who accused her former
pastor with betrayal. Not being able to
furnish bail be was committed to Jail by
Magistrate Molina. Hamilton protests
his innocence, and says that he will prove
1t at the hearing. A large number Of his
congregation were mute spectators at his
preliminary investigation.
1t will be remembered that early in the
month numer0usly-signed petition by
captains and steamship agents was for
warded to Washington asking the Light

that there is no absolute necessity for the
whistle, iuasmuch 2s the records show
but few days Of foggy weather, and those
OF short duration; SO that the board can
see no danger to vessels coming into port.
