what General Manager HaiDes Say
About its DiscOntinuance.
Col. II. ;. Haines, General Manager of
the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail-
wav. during a conversation with a News
reporter last night, gave it as his
opinion that if no appropriation
is made by Congress for fast
mail trains the railroad cOmpa-
MES will be compelled to discontinue
them. Col. Haines said that the differ
euce between the fast mail trains and the
other mail service should not be lost sight
Of. The fast mail is a special service.
The government furnishes the railroad
companies with the plan of the cars they
want for the fast mail, and the companies
build them. The government makes the
schedule upon which they are run,speclhes
the speed at which they shall gO.and pays a
certain sum per annum 20 the companies
for running the fast mail cars. OF course
the railroads have the privilege of run
ming other cars in the train besides the
mail car. Col. Haines said he understood
a subcommittee Ofthe Committee on Post
Office Appropriations had failed to provide
for this service in the appropriation bill.
II had recommended and proposed to
make the compensation for carrying the
mails depend upon the space they Occu-
MED and the speed made by the trains on
which the mails are carried. In this
event he said he did not believe 1t would
nav the railroads TO provide fast trains
that would do the work now done by the
fast mail service aud the delivery OF the
mails would be retarded.

ROAD MATTERS.

l Visit by a Delegation of County Com
missiOners to the Little OEeechee
Bridge and Adjoining Roads.
Commissioners Walker and Estill, ac-
companied by County Surveyor Teheau,
visited the bridge across the Little
Ogeechee on the Ogeechee road yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of seeing what
repairs were necessary there, and also
to the adjoining causeway. 1t was
found that the bridge needed con-
siderable attention, and that the
causeway required raising for
"a distance of 1000 feet, and revettlng
where bend in the river is washing it
away. The bridge will be repaired at
once and the matter of raising and pro-
tecting the causewaY will receive atten-
tion at the next meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners.
The Ogeechee road requires considera-
bic work done Oh it, more than it is posi-
Die for the people subject to road duty
should be required TO do. An effort
should be made to organize a force of
cOnYicts to put 1t and all the other public
roads in this county in the best possible
condition. Good roads would improve
the surrounding country, and such bene-
fits would help the business of the city.
