The Health OF Athens.

From the Athens (Gd.) Banner Waterman.
In this issue appears certificate formu-
lated by A. l.. Hull, cashier Of the Univer-
sity bank, and signed by the physicians and
ministers of Athens, in regard to our health
II shows, by the highest possible authority,
that we have not had even faint oilan cpl
demic of typhoid fever. Any ono who
questions the statements therein made is
beyond conviction. We have had the usual
summer troubles prevalent everywhere at
this season OF the year. In a very few cases
these troubles have resulted fatally, but the
death rate is lower than for the past five
years as the records Of interments in our
cemetery shows.
With large increase in population, the
actual numb,r of deaths in our city is no
greater than five years ago Enemies of
Athens, and friends Of other cities and in
stitutions, lave Il cd the reported fever cpl
demic in our city TO advance their own in
forests. Our city has beel injured by these
grossly exaggerated statements as to the
sickness here, but the truth will prevail,
AMI fair minded public will not long be
mislcd by selfish alarmists and misstate-
ments of facts. No one need fear 10 come
TO Athens nor entrust their children to q
community than which there is mono finer
on earth, nor to all atmosphere waited from
the mountains and as pure as ozone
In justice TO our city, and as a courtesy
OF journalism we would request our ex-
cSanges to reproduce the certificate re-
ferred TO.

ON RAIL AND oRossTrH.
Local and General Gossip In Railway
Circles.


The sixth annual meeting of the Road
masters Association Of America will be
held at Washington, Sept. IL, 10 and l3.
The committee appointed to prepare pro-
gramme of questions for discussion at this
meeting have submitted the following; /.
Standard track joints. Q. Standard hand
cars 8. Snow and snow-plows. T. Speci-
fications for cross-ties. s. Labor on track I;
labor required under varying conditions.
Roadmaster J. w. Craig of the Charleston
and Savannah railway is president of the
association, and is one of Its most active
members f. w. Reed Of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway is the associa-
tion's secretary and treasurer.
The railroads and telegraph lines of Egypt
belong TO the government They are oper-
ated by three commissioners, of whom usu-
ally two are Foreigners and one native; at
present all three commissioners are foreign
ers. Practically nothing is or has been done
during the past five years in the direction
of extending the railroad facilities, and at
present the total mileage 900 miles, is the
same as it was five years ago A great por-
ton Of the telegraph system originally con-
structed has been abandoned, including the
greater portion Of the Soudan and Rcd sea
service. The number of passengers carried
in 1887 on the railroads Of Egypt was 1924
l12, against 3, l38, $40 in 1886 The receipts
from railroads were over double the ex
penses in 1887 The diversion of the net
earnings 10 pay the public debt necessitates
neglect Of the roads, and they are conse-
quently in poor condition.

information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty we'll us far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power OF dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. IL a word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock IL various ways new ideas, new con-
ceits, new trickc and quips in jewelry, aud
so on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides Of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, us intimated, we liH sell very
close TO move some Of it. This 10 good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornment we offer line par excellence g

All on Account of a Rumor.

Tybee seems to have been the home Of
rumors for tho past two days. On Satur-
day the rumor got started that a murder
had been committed at the beach. Who
was murdered or how the rumor started
nobody seemed 20 know, but Il
spread until hundreds of people be-
loved that there had been murder. Yes
terday it kept on spreading, and the
MORNING NEWS reporters were besieged
with Inquiries about it. A careful investi-
CATION faile TO discover where or how the
rumor started. People in the city knew
more about IL than those WHO were at the
beach. The Tybee railroad officials heard
it. and wero overrun with inquiries. OF
course there was no real foundation for the
rumor. 1t seemed TO be one Of those things
that people talk about, but of which they
know nothing.

AS the reporter was speaking, Represent
alive Butterworth of Ohio, accompanied by
Representative Hatch Of Missouri, came in.
Mr.. Butterworth asked for Massanetta
water, and drained his glass twice, while
his brother member was struggling with a
glass of Londonderry. Before they were
seated in their carriage, Senator w. NJ.
Evarts walked in and called for Massanetta,
which he drank in a very calm and
deliberate manner.

Massanetta before going to the capitol.
Senator ingalls, follows the example of
Senator Evarts and takes Massanetta before
commencing his arluous labors. Represen-

McComas Of Maryland drinks nothing but
Geyser, but takes the carbonated water in
preference to the natural. Representative
Anderson Of Kansas drinks a combination
of Massanetta and Silurian, declaring it to
