Two Railroads Pointing Toward Sa-
vannah to Pool Their Issues.

W EOOl A0lT lS5uoS.
The interest in the Atlanta and Atlantic
railway seems to be maintained all along
the proposed route The affairs of the new
enterprise seem to be booming The coun-
ties of Efingham, Scriven and Jefferson
sent in their subscription this week as fol-
lows: Jefferson 900, Scriven $50 900,
Efhngham SIS, 800, total from the three
counties named STA 800.
This is considered a very liberal subscrip-
ton from these counties, although it is said
that If the success Of the road depended on
an increased subscription, jefferson county
would do little better. Half a million Of
dollars has been secured to the road, and
from present indications its building does
not appear so problematical as it did when
its projectors first began to talk a short line
from Atlanta to the sea.
The MORNING NEWS is informed that the
Barnwell folks and the Atlanta, Atlantic
and Great Western officials are in CORE
spondence looking to forming "A junction at
Springfield, in Efingham county, which
would give the Barnwell extension nearly
an air line to Savannah. Should Col.
Browns directory and Col. Fry's directory
conclude negotiations, it would insure a
much earlier completion of the two roads,
and would also materially reduce the ex-
penSe of getting to and into Savannah.
Both Of these projected roads are independ-
ent of syndicates, and the people along the
line are stockholders in and contributors to
the two roads.
The Barnwell committee, appointed at
the meeting this week, viii begin next
week TO canvass along the line from Barn
well to Springfield, by the way of Allen
dale, and President Fry of the Atlanta, At
lantic and Great Western railroad, and
President Brown of the Barnwell road, will
meet this week in conference, looking to a
community of interest in securing an early
beginning and tiual completion Of the two
roads, which promise to be of great COM
mercial Importance not only to the people
along the lines of railway, but to the city of
Savannah

KILLED BY THE FAST MAIL.
The Atlanta Express Knocks an Ok
Colored Man Off the Track.

The Atlanta Express Knocks an Old
Colored Man Off the Track.
The fast mail train from Atlanta yester-
day afternoon knocked an old colored man
off the track, near Sunny Hill, killing him
instantly. Engineer Goolsby saw the man
when he was a half mile distant, and he
was walking on the right of the track
The engineer supposed that he was an en-
ploye of the road
Before reaching the trestle over a small
stream near by he Stacked up his train, and
was running probably at the rate of thirty
miles an hour. Just before his engine
touched the trestle, the old man, who had
been walking at the side of the track
stepped over toward the center, and the
engine struck him, hurting him to the OPP
poste side of the stream.
The body was picked up and brought to
Sunny Hill, but it was not identified. The
people thought though the old man was a
laborer on farm near there. He was APP
PAL emily about 65 or 20 years of age He was
carrying basket of clothes on his shoulder
when he was struck. Engineer Goolsby
and Conductor Powers think that he was
deaf and didn't hear the train.

AND now comes the San Francisco
Bulletin and asserts editorially that girls
should not sit cross-legged. Want to
know! We suppose it doesn't make any
difference how the Bulletin fellows sit.
They can throw their feet up to an ele-
walton. as far above their heads as their
legs can reach, sit on the floor and put
their feet on the comfortable, lie down,
roll over, and stretch themselves gener-
ally, and everything will be 0. K; but
if shop girl or saleswoman who has
stood on her feet from seven o'clock a.
m. to seven o'clock p. m. wants to rest
herself and tuck her poor, wearied ped
ais under her wing, why the Bulletin
chips in and says that it is "vulgah"
for woman to cross her knees, and cites
the case of Nine. Jerome Bonaparte, of
Baltimore, who was the pink of proprie-
ty, the quintessence of politeness, and
who always sat with her knees just two
inches apart-no more and no lessl
This is dead give away on the Bulletin.
We don't believe the editor can show the
papers for this kind of information. We
don't believe heavy political writer is
competent to handle the kne-we mean
such momentous questions, which affect
only the kn-.that is to say, the domes-
tic economy of the fair sex. If girl
can rest better and quiet her shattered
nerves by reclining in the attitude of a
Turk, or tailor, we hold that the press
of this land of the free and the home of
the brave should keep quiet, go slow,
and learn to peddle.

In a general way the above fairly in
dicates the remarkable progress made
during the past ten years. If the tax
rate in all the counties was uniform the
valuations would be calculated on the
same basis. In some instances valua-
tons have been increased and the tax
lowered. Mr.. Murphy says that, not
withstanding the unusually large APP
preparations made by the last legisla-
ture, the territorial revenue will be large
enough to pay all of them and leave a
balance in the treasury.

AUDITOR MURPHY, of this territory,
has recently prepared schedule of the
property in all Of the counties, together
with comparative tables, which tell a
story of progress in much more sug-
gestive manner than it is possible to
convey in words. The increase in val
ues in this (Whitman) county, for in
stance, in one year past amounts to ST.
1896, a showing that is exceeded by
but two other counties in the territory
and equaled by none of the remainder.
The following table illustrates the total
valuation of taxable property from 1878

EASTERN persons coming hither with
capital and knowledge of the industry
would find paying investment in the
establishment of creameries. There is
scarcely any section Of the territory
where one could make miss. To-day,
butter is shipped to Washington from
the various Mississippi and Missouri
valley states, much of which is inferior
in quality, but is placed on the market
at high prices. People are compelled to
buy it in the absence of home produc-
ton sufficient to supply the demand.
The same is also true of eggs. There
are no products which are in more sure
and steady demand than those of butter
and eggs. Washington possesses all
the requisites for their supply equal to
any section of the country.

WHEREVER a railroad penetrates an
unsettled country there it sows the seeds
of civilization, if properly managed. Of
course there is always some cause for
complaint against them, yet the people
cannot get along without railroads.
They open up new tracts of land, they
give impetus to trade, they increase val
ues, they stimulate industries, they de-
velop commerce, they teach promptness,
they are leaders in the grand march Of
progress. To build them, brains and
money and energy are necessary; to run
them it requires care and skill and con-
slant vigilance. Unless managed by
human hogs, they are benefactors. The
prosperity Of the people is their prosper
ty-the growth of the country is their
growth.

outnumber one of the two.
3. Don't vote for democracy by pro-
hibition ballot till democracy is your
friend.
