ON RAIL AND CRossTIH.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.

"Tnere are $50, 900 miles of railway in the
United States" says John Bogart in Scri6-
ner's for July, 1900, coo miles of rails-in
length enough to make twelve steel girdles
for the earth's circumference. This enor-
NOUS length of rail is wonderful-we do not
really grasp its significance. But the rail
itself, the little section of steel, is an engI-
neering feat The change of its form from
the curious and clumsy iron pier-head of
thirty years ago to the present refined sec
ton of steel, is a scientific development 1t
is now beam whose every dimension and
curve and angle are exactly suited to the
tremendous work it has to do. The loads it
carries ARE enormous, the blows it receives
are heavy and constant, but IL carries the
loads and bears the blows and does its duty
The locomotive and the modern passenger
and freight cars are great achievements {;
and so is the little rail which carries them
all"
A great railway enterprise now being dis
cussed among railroad men and capitalists is
an international railroad through Mexico.
Central and South America. The idea has
often been suggested but it is taking more
definite sha pc now than ever before AS now
indicated, it will consist of a series of con-
Meeting lines, running from Buenos Ayres,
in the Argentine Republic on the eastern
coast OF South America, through Paraguay,
Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, to BOgota, in the
United States Of Colombia, and thence to
the coast, either TO Carthagena or Panama
on the isthmus. BrddstrcerS, speaking of
the proposed road, says that the actual dis
tance not covered by existing or projected
lines is about 1900 miles.
Railway building is having boom in
South America. The Argentine republic
alone contains twenty railroads in opera
ton, which have Cost on an average $40, 900
per mile TO build.
Superintendent McClintock has an
nounced the following schedule for the
Columbus and Western, taking effect Sun
day, July l.
East-Leaves Birmingham at II AS a. m. ,
arrive at Columbus at 6:35 p. m, arrive at
Macon at l0:45 p. M, arrive at Savannah
at 6:15 a. m.
West-Leave Savannah at $40 D. m, ar
rive at Macon at 3:l5 a. m, arrive at
Columbus at $50 m, arrive at Blrming-
ham at $3.50 p m.
General Manager Haines of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway does not think
that competitive railroads are of great ben
eft to any locality. The divided patronage
prevents good service, and rs result the
weakest eventually give way, being unable
TO keep up roadted and equipments and
meet running expenses. This is true OF all
competitive roads where there is not a
dense population and plenty OF traffic to
sustain two roads properly equipped and
conducted, and he cited the Brunswick and
Western, which, after a long struggle,
unable to pay its hands. had TO be sold, aud
when bought by the Plant inv estment com
pany was not in condition for USE This
necessitated the expenditure Of $3.50. 900 by
its present owners TO bring it TO the point
of excellence OF the other lines Of the Plan
System.

The Best Time to Buy Valuables.


This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty we'll as 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. In word, we are now Inclined
to give very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months We have added to our
stock in various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits. new tricks and quips in jewelry. and
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, as intimated, we tCiU sell reru
close to move some of it, This is a 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 of
Ladies' fine Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches and Jewelry, etc,
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give nolc. They
will keep, and you will save money.

THE CANTALoUPE TRADE.
The Crop the Largest This Year Ever
Known.

~ got um."
Here dey is"
"Sweet an juicy-fresh an flne.n
The above, or something like it, might
have been heard at any street-corner yes
terday.
"Cantaloupes don't go much now" said
Mr.. A. Ii. Champion yesterday. 1.-THE mar
ket is full of them. They found foe mar
ket week or two ago, but since the truck
farmers on the outskirts of the city began
to bring them in, the market has been
steadily on the decline"
Are the melons as fine this year as
lastP'
"A great deal finer. / do not remember
ever to have tasted better cantaloupes than
are being sold now for cents. Last year
at this time the same size melon, though not
SO sweet, retailed for Is and % cents"
The first cantaloupes that CAM into Sa-
vannah markets were shipped from Florida.
They retailed readily at from 20 to so and 35
cents. But, like the watermelons, they
were forced out of the market when the
Georgia melon ripened. F. M. Wall, Jr.,
near the White Bluff road, Joseph
Oehle in Lovers Lane and Mr.. Exley are
among the most successful cantaloupe
raisers near Savannah.
Two weeks ago a number of barrels OF
canualoupeS were snlpped TO northern mar
kets, but owing TO the excessive warm
weather for the last few days the ship
ments have fallen of, and after July there
will probably be no more shipped. The
present crop is about the same as that of
last year. The cantaloupe is of a better
variety, however, and more of the crop is
sold now than was last year. There are
three kinds of cantaloupes on the Savannah
market every season. They are the nut
meg, a small round fruit, the Japan, which
is very large and round and the banana.
The latter is exactly the shape Of banana,
only larger, 1t is really more fragrant
than banana. The nutmeg cantaloupe,
although the smallest, is the most saleable
of the three. Cantaloupes come into the
market week later than watermelons and
drop out week earlier.
