TIE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
The September Reports of the Count.
Ofacere


Ofioers.
The Board of County Commissioners
held its October meeting yesterday.
The various county officers submitted
their September reports. The report of
the superintendent Of the ohain-gang
shows a total of ITO convicts in the city's
service on Sept. 80. Fifty-four were re-
ceived during the month and 81 dis
charged.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union urged upon the board the i'm
portance OF erecting a separate building
for the juvenile convicts, in order
that they may be kept apart from
the older and hardened criminals,
and that their treatment be not only pu-
nltiVe but re ormatory as well. The pc
tition urged that some useful trade be
taught the young cOnvlcts, so that when
their terms expire they will have chance
OF earning livelihood. The petition was
referred TO Commissioner Dorset.
Reports were also received in regard to
the drainage of the county. These We're
OF course before the rains Of Sunday and
Monday.
A. e. Moynelo, Commissioner Of the
upper Ogeechee road, reported the salt
water bridge on the upper Ogeechee in
and extremely high water. The cause
way will have TO be raised from one TO two
feet. The causeway between the nine
and ten mile post is also in b order. on
account of the breaks in the back water
banks TO the rice fields in that vicinity,
There are also heavy washes on the road.
some Of which have been filed in and
others Will be filed in as soon as the
weather is settls d so that hands can be
sent there for that purpose.
A petition from I. L. Kinsev and Others
asked that the country surrounding Yer
nonourg be drained the same as Beaulieu
and Montgomery and Isle of Hope.
The citizens and property owners Of
ThunderboIt also asked that the stagnant
water which stands in ponds there. caus-
ing sickness and likely TO result very in
juriously to the general health of the
community, be drained.
The drainage along the City and Subur-
ban Railway is going on, and the entire
county Will be drained so far as is prac-
ticable at the earliest moment.
The committee appointed to examine
the Liabilities Of the late County Treas
urer, Hon. John Williamson, reported
that under the requirements of the code
they had examined the accounts, youch-
ers and official liabilities OF the late
Treasurer and found them to be correct,
anu RECOMMENDED tlaJ IuIl release be
granted his sureties.
Licenses to retail liquor were petitioned
by Lena Lewis at Station No l, Savannah,
Florida and Western railway, and j. f.
Monroe, near No. |.
Applications Of Suky Jackson and
Smith Bnmard for county aid were re-
ferred to Rev. Harris.
Petitions from A. L. Moynelo and L. L.
Hover for relief from double tax were
referred to the Chairman with power to
act.
Bills amounting to s4,41s 80 were au-
dited and passed for payment.
The commissioners will hold special
meeting, probably this week, to act upon
the new jail plans. Twelve plans by some
Of the leading architects of the country
have been examined, and from these the
commissioners will choose.

Cstch-Penny Business,

An illegitimate business has been in.
augurated to wean away the regular trade
of established houses by a catch-penny
system, that is, the offering on special
days of certain articles far below market
value, and by a degrading system, de.
handing of purchasers to form in line
like so many sheep, aud using all the
articles to wait on them as slo,cIy as
possible, and they are finally told, ''We
only sell six yards"
1 hereby announce that for one shall
protect my regular customers, and will
meet any ''bait" that may be offered to
my customers by any house, no matter at
what price or sacrifice and trust every
house IN the city will do likewise, and
thus frozen dozen trickery and UIeqitimacg
in business.
We do not say this because we have felt
the effects of the trick, but in justice to
ourselves and customers.

Railroad Chatter.

The Selma Times says: So heavy has
the treight business become, and SO great
the demand Tor more cars, that the com.
pany have been compelled 10 run extra
freight trains every other day on the A.
G. division Of the East Tennessee, Vir-
GINA and Georgia railroad. And yet with
these extras, the demand for cars far ex-
eeeds the supply.
The Georgia Pacific railway put into
effect new passenger schedule on Sun.
day called the New York, New Orleans
and Shreveport fast express via Piedmont
Airline, Georgia Pacific. and Queen and
Crescent routes. The completion of the
new, substantial and superbly equipped
transfer boat at Vicksburg enables it to
give through car service to and from
Shreveport, as we'll as New Orleans, max.
ing close connections at both places, with
through cars to and from all western
points. This route. with it's magnificent
passenger equipment, fast seized les and
through car service, places it in position
to command large passenger business.

Florida Travel to b. Resumed To-day
A Heavy Washout At the satilla.
Florida travel, which has been cut of
since Sunday night, will be resumed to-
day. Master of Transp Ortation Jackson
SAID last nigh that trains on the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western railway would
run through to Jacksonville to-day.
Supe intendent Fleming, Assistant Su-
periutendent Haines, and force of men
were at the Satilla river all day yesterday,
and reported that everything would be
arranged so that SO iJh transfer of pas
sengers and mails through travel would
be resumed this morning. The fast
mail will leave in two sections, if neces-
sary, on schedule time at 7 O'Clock
and passengers for points South
will be carried through without delay.
The road between Jacksonville and
WaycrOss, and as far north as the Satilla,
IS In working order. The only trouble
now is at that point. Everything is clear
between Savannah and Jesup. The main
bridge over the river is intact. The road
bed tor some distance on this side is badly
washed, and several bents in
the trestle approaching the bridge
