NOT THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
Savannah Rice Millers Think Charles
ton q Little Too Fast.

Savannah Rice MillerS Think Charles
ton a Little Too Fast.
The rice men of Savannah are very much
amused at the claims of the Charleston rice
men about activity In the Charleston rice
market. A prominent mill man said yester-
day that it is not true that the rice market
is depressed at Savannah more than it is any
where else, or that rice is being shipped from
here to Charleston for sale. I'm fact" he
said, 'rice is selling at from 96
to "a of cent at Charleston be-
low the quotations in the Charleston
papers. They seem to be in need Of money
there, and are underselling the market. We
could dispose of all the rice we have at the
prices Charleston is getting" The mill men
say that it is true that inquiry was made
from Savannah as to the alleged activity"
in the rice market at Charleston
and as result it was found
that no such figures were being
paid as quoted. 1t is a misstatement, said
the miller. that the Charleston mills clean
rice any better than the Savannah mills
The mills are of the same pattern, and if
there is any difference, it is in favor of the
quoted as saying that he has had rice milled
here and at Charleston, and the Savannah
mills did the most satisfactory work. Nor
is Charleston getting any rice which usually
| comes here" said the miller, beyond a
shipment on advances"
st is all untrue said leading dealer
after having carefully read the article in
yesterdays NeCS and Courier. Charles
| ton is selling rice from II cent to "a cent
below its quotations. Planters who have
sounded the Charleston market find that
they cannot sell their rice there at the quo
tations published. 1t is all bosh to talk
about Charleston mills doing better work
than Savannah mills. They can't do it
and they don't do 1t. They have the same
kind of mills that we have and their opera
tives are no more skilled in operating them
than the operatives of the Savannah mills.
Because they are about to get a consign-
ment of Japan rice to clean is no evidence
of superiority in milling. 1t shows that
the Charleston mills are not crowded, for
they charge less for milling the Japan rice
than the Savannah mills, and these cargoes
of foreign rice are sent here occasionally.
1t happens that this one goes TO Charleston.
The next may go to New Orleans or come
to Savannah"
1--WE don't want the Japan rice" said a
| Savannah miller. Our mills stopped
pounding rice for awhile, owing to the low
| prices at which rice was ruling Charleston
has been delivering rice in Philadelphia as
| low as we could sell here at home and we
| could sell all the rice here at the prices
| Charleston is getting. This we don't pro-
pose to do, and Charleston will soon STOP
undertaking when its present financial
| stress is relieved"

w HdL supp. MCOInLOcF says ABOUT
the Birmingham Extension.
Supt. w. H. McClintock, of the Column
bus and Western railroad, was in the city
yesterday. The Columbus and Western, he
said, is doing big business. The shipments
Of cotton have been heavy. No falling off
in receipts is expected for some months yet
Supt. McClintock is looking for a heavy
passenger travel during the Chat; ahoochee
Valley Exposition. An extra train will he
run during the exposition, and possibly
two. The exposition has been well advar-
tised, and the Columbus and Western ex-
tends through the portion of Alabama
which will be best represented.
How about the Birmingham extension"
1--WE have been operating that so long
that we are beginning to look upon it as
always part of the road. The extensi IN,
though, has gone beyond the expectation of
the projectors. 1t is great feeder. In fac
the Central railroad was incomplete until
the extension was finished. Through
freight tr iins are now running from Savau-
nah to Birmingham, and traffic has go e
way ahead of what was expected"
Supt. McClintCcll said that the people of
Columbus regard the Terminal deal favor
ably.
Supt. w. w Starr of the Southwestern
railroad, was also i'll the city yesterday, and
he sad that he expects a busy week during
tue fair in Macon. Extra trains will DO put
on to Americas, Albany and Eufaula and
the Columbus line, and special trains Will
be run on the Atlanta division. Supt. Starr
SAID the people of Macon look upon the
scoop" as one that will in nowise injure,
but will rather benefit Georgia.
| Supt. ID. d. Currau and Acting General
Freight and Passenger Agent Craig. of the
Port Royal and Western Carolina railroad,
are also here. Augusta is putting on ex-
position airs, they say, and every prepare
tion is being made to make the exposition a
grand success.
Traffic Manager A. c. Knapp, of the
Georgia Southern and Florida railroad,
spent the most of yesterday in town. Maj
Knapp said that his line had been completed
to Triton, and he is having as much Dusi-
ness as he can well attend to. The local
business will keep the road always going,
and besides he expects to divide the bust
ness from Macon south with the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad.

DUBLIN's ELECTION SCENES.
Miss Louise Harman's story of What
Occurred There.

Miss Louise Hartman, state superintend-
emit of the department of organization of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union of
Georgia, was shown yesterday the article
from the Dublin Gazette Of Oct. Is denying
the report in the MORNING NEWS that
at the recent local option election in Lau-
rens county drunken negroes. with red
badges on their breasts and red tickets in
their hands, were marched to the
polls a"d induced to cast their bal
lots against the cause of tenn
perance. shouting as they passed re-
spectacle people on the streets, "You rib
boners are fighting the saloonkeepers, but
we are fighting Jesus"
Miss Hartman went to Dublin at the re-
quest Of Mrs Sibley, state president of the
Womans Christian Temperance Union, to
organizes o branch Of the union there and to
assist the temperance people of Dublin dur
ing the election canvass. She was there
week. On election day she was at the TEN
perance headquarters, short distance from
the court house where the election was held
and could see what was going on outside of
the polls.
What the MORNING NEWS stated" Miss
Hartman said, ''is true. 1t was the first
time that | ever witnessed such sight as
occurred that day, and l hope that it may
be the last time"
Miss Hartman was shown the interviews
in the Gazette, purporting to have been
had with Mr. /. S. Chapel and Mr.. j. B.
Sanders, managers of the election, with
Judge Mercer Haynes and Mayor Ware,
stating that the election was an unusuall y
quiet one. "lf the election, as these gem
tlemen state, was quiet one" Miss Har-
man said, "may God pity the worst" The
statements made by one OF the managers
of the election that he saw but one
drunken man on election day. and by Mayor
Ware that not a single arrest was made, ara
not in accord with Mss Harmans statement
that she saw at least 100 drunken men. As
for Judge Haynes, she did not think that he
was at the election at all. An effort was
made to get him to deliver an address on
the night before the election, but he was en-
gagged at Wrightsville and could not come
to Dublin.
"Ihope never to witness again, ~ Miss Har-
man said, "such scenes as / witnessed at
Dublin on that day. The negroes we're led
through the streets to the polls by low,
drunken white men, wearing red badges
and carrying red tickets in their hands. y
Miss Hartman refers to Judge Wolf and
the pastors of the Dublin churches to cor
roborate her statement OF what occurred.

TO GO WITH FULL RANKS
SAVANNAH'S MILITARY CONTIN-
GENT AT AUGUSTA.

The Regiment to Garry Up $50 Men
Col Mercer to be in Command-The
Guards to Send a Detachment Prob
ably 100 Strong-Preparation for
the Trip-Au the Military to Take
art in the Parade.
The board of officers of the First Volun-
teer Regiment met last night at the armory
to arrange for the regiments trip &c
Augusta. All of the companies have de-
cided to make the trip, and it is expected
will carry about forty men each. With the
field and staff, the regiment will carry alt
gether about $50 men. The staff will go at
the invitation of the companies commands.
THE WAY THE REGIMENT WILL GO.
The regiment will leave Savannah on a
special train Sunday morning, Nov. II, ar
irving at Augusta at noon, and will take
part in Mondays parade and review,
returning home Monday night. Col. Mercer
will command the regiment on its trip, and
will be accompanied by his full staff. An
effort will be made during the coming week
to secure leave of absence from business
for the day and a half or two days that will
be required for the trip for as many mem
bers of the regiment as is possible.
THE GUARDS DETACHMENT.
The Guards will not go as battalion, but
will send up a detachment. A meeting was
held last night to hear the result of the can
vass which has been going on during the
week. A detachment of seventy-fve men
and possibly 100 will go. Sixty men have
already enlisted and Col Garrard said that
he expects more will fall in when the time
comes. The members are experiencing
some difficulty in getting off, and for that
reason the Guards will not carry as many
men as they would had the exposition been
earlier in the season. II was expected at
the outset that employers would grant their
employees who are members of the military
a leave of absence. A good many employers
have done 50.
GETTING LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
A day and half or two days at the most
will be lost by employees, and the military
say that Savannah owes Augusta every
assistance that it can give. Augusta ex-
pects large number of men from Savan-
nah, but unless the business men allow
their employees the time, the companies
will not be as strong in numbers as was
expected A canvass will be made among
the members of the variohs commands for
the next few days, and it is expected that a
larger number will be added to the present
list Arrangements as to going were per-
fected by the Guards last night Col.
Garrard said that the Guards will not 60
into camp unless the other companies do.
Col Garrard will be in command of the
Guards Final arrangements will be made
to-day in regard TO transportation.
