The Commercial Travellers Association of
the United States is arranging tn hold a
congress Of representatives from each state
in the union with the purpose in view of
organizing central executive committee.
which will negotiate with the railroad sys-
TENS and endeavor 20 get into operation the
1000 or 5000 mileage book, which the
committee will issue to its members. and
for which they will pay the railroads
upon surrender of coupons, at a stip-
ulated rate. The committee will be
strongly backed, and the railroads will
recognize the tickets upon the same basis
that they now recognize each Others tick
cts. This the travellers think will do away
with tho DISCRIMINATORY clause nav
feared by the railroads.
The National Commercial Traveller.

ternity at Louisville, KY, is advocating
the measure strongly and Is urging every
state to send delegate prepared to act,
and it has such entire confidence in the sue

to see the expense of each representative
refunded by the executive committee if il
is not success. The TrGrcler further saws
that the railroad people already interviewed

THE SEA OATS INDUSTRY.
A Crop That Only Needs Harvesting
ead is in Big Demand


The shipments of sea oats to New York
and Europe from Savannah has begun.
j. Gardner has shipped abroad about half a
ton. The Uniold pdnicuLGtd, as the florist
calls it, is indigenous only 10 that portion
of the South Atlantic coast that lies in
| Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia and
/ Florida. Ii cannot De found anywhere els.
| 1t is growing immensely popular in the
north and west and in Europe. Ten years
ago Dir. Gardner went north and carried a
sample of the oats, and be readily got as
many orders as he could fill. The oats re-
tailed there as high as 25 cents pound
| The New York houses which purchased
thsm exported them 10 Europe, and there a
trade was opened. Orders are now being
| received direct from Europe by
Savannah firms. The west has grown
very fond of the plant and large orders
are being received from that section Over
10000 pounds could have been shipped from
Savannah this year il the facilities had
heen sufficient
The price Of the oats has decreased con-
siderably since they were fist shipped
north, but there is good profit now The
oats grow on the sand by the seashore, where
the waves wash over them. They grow as
high as ordinary oats, and resemble rye
more than oats with the exception of being
bodIu Icss. Ne IOOJ never QleS, dQQ crop
after crop is raised without the least cult
walton. The cold weather, nor droughts,
nor rains, nor storms ever retard its growth
or cut off the crop. 1t is as sure as the
tide. When not cut the plant dies
down in winter and comes out in spring.
1t grows rapidly, but does not mature
before August, when it begins to get the
gold on it. BY the middle Of August it is
as yellow as field oats at harvest time, aud
it is then ready to be reaped and packed
away. 1t is not brash, and does
not break like oat straw. The
heads remain in tact and the stem
is elastic and tough. After packing away
box full of it a few days it looks as if it
had been pressed and it is very pretty,
Mr.. Gardner said that there ia no account
ing for its growth. 1t is simply indigenous
to the soil. There is no other reason to
assign. Along the South Atlantic coast
is the only section that it is found. 1t does
not grow IN Europe"
The oats viii last for years just as when
reaped, and will not break or the heads fall
off. The plant Is used for decorative pur-
poses There is hardly mantle in the
country where the sea oat is known that
has not some sea oats on il.

A BIG FISH SEASON.
The Fish and Oyster Season Opening
with Rush.

The fish trade is booming now. Over 200
barrels are being shipped daily from Savan-
nah to points in the interior of Georgia,
South Carolina and some as far over as
Alabama The greater part OF the fish re-
ceived here now come from Punta Gorda.
They come in good order and 60 out IN
good order,
The fisheries at Punta Gorda are doing
everything they can to fill the orders which
they get from large concerns said gentle
man who has Just returned from there, but
good many orders have 10 go unified. The
demand is greater than the facilities for sup
plying the demand are, and hence the supply
does not equal the demand. Savannah, he
said, is one Of the Largest patrons Of the
Punta Gorda fisheries Some Of the dealers
here have fisheries OF their own at Punte
Gorda. but, as a rule, the largest fisheries
are conducted hy men who live there, the
year round They are owners of large sail
vessels aud employ large numbers of hands.
They supply several markets. The principal
fish caught now at Punta G0rda is the
mullet. This variety is plentiful, and fisher
men say that they were never finer. They
will stand long trips and will remain longer
in good condition than almost any other
fish.
The time for shad mas not come yet The
most Of the shad received here for ship
ment are caught in Savannah waters. al
though good many come from the Florida
fisheries Of the dealers here.
OF recent years the dealers are making a
kick about the inferior variety of shad
which is being planted in Georgia waters.
mention II which was made in the MORN
ING News a short time ago. The dealers
say tat since the fish COM
missioner began planting shad.
hick ny shad are fast making their
appearance. Formerly white shad were the
variety caught most Lately the hickory
variety seem to be taking their place, and
they have TO be sold for just as much as the
other variety. although they are very in
ferior fish.
The oyster season has begun in earnest,
and the demand is much greater now than
it was this time last year. The weather is
squirting the trade up, dealer said yester-
day. As long as the weather continues
cool the trade will be brisk.

CHARTERED FOR BOTH PORTS.
That is Why the Steamer Amy Dora
Stopped at Port Royal


A Port Royal Is. c. correspondent sends
the Charleston NetCs and Courier the fol-
/ lowing:
The British steamship Amy Dora, from Ham
burg, Germany, with . 20 tons OF kainlt arrived
here on Friday morning last. She was drawing
q feet inch of water. and it appeared that her
port or entry Was Savannah, but upon her ar
rival II was seen that she was drawing too
much water to cross the bar. She was there
Tore sent here. where sne discharged !, 200 tons
OF her cargo, and then proceeded TO Savannah,
drawing only 10 feet Of wafer. Now II Savan-
nan has p feet Of water we would like to know
where IL is. Yet she wants the new navy yard
| built near her city. The thought of doing such
thing is ridiculous.
The NeIOs and Courier correspondent
may be very live one, but in this case be
seems TO have been misinformed. In the
first place Savannah was not the first port of
entry FOR which the Amy Dora was destined.
The steamer cleared from Hamburg with
part of her cargo destined for Port Royal
and another portion of it for Savannah,
where she was chartered to load return
cargo. II the vessel could not have entered
the Savannah harbor aud vas compelled to
60 TO Port Royal she would have been COM
PEELED to discharge her entire cargo there
as the laws of the United States do net
allow foreign vessels to DO coasting trade.
Ii 1t was fund necessary 10
nave Hghtered portion OF
the cargo it could have been done at Twice
bar rendering her trip into Port Royal UNI
necessary, aud she would have saved the
expense Of going there. In fact the vessel
simply carried out the terms Of her charter
win the shippers Of the cargo who cleared
1t at Hamburg. One thousand two hun
dred tons Of the cargo, which was guano,
were for Port Royal and 1000 tons were
for Savannah.
The fact that Savannah has
p feet of water is slndis-
puted. The Amy Dora has visited this port
many times before and has taken full
cargo from the wharves TO sea. Yesterday
the German bark Mozart left her loading
berth and went to sea on an ordinary tide
with cargo of naval stores and drawing
20 feet inches

DOWN $50 FEET.
The Progress of the City's New Ar
tesian Well.

tesian Well
DR.. Stone, who is keeping record of the
deep artesian we'll now being sunk on the
Springfield plantation, says that the forma-
ton is different from that of any other
well in this section, and it approximates
closely TO that of the Charleston wells. 1t
las generally been found, he says, that 80
feet of sand have been first passed through,
that Is, of ordinary sand. Next 80 feet
of quicksand, resting on n bed of
mari or clay, OF about 40 feet Then
layer of lime rock of about feet; then a
layer of mari about 20 feet aud a lime rock
of feet, underneath which Is a LAYER of
mari of 50 feet. The water bearing rock is
struck at depth of about 80 feet The
two upper layers of rock vary in position
| and thickness, sometimes one or the other
being absent.
at the new well, DR.. Stone says, the clay,
or mud, is first struck, and continues down
20 45 feet. when a formation of shell and
limerick IS reached Then clay begins and
continues to 1874 feet; then rock about 8
inches IN thickness, then continuing down 70
$50 feet in clay or mud, the water-bearing
rock That is the rock the drill is in now.
At no time is the quicksands, or o. binary
sand, be found. A few shells were found at
a depth OF 40 feet, and a petrfied sharks
tooth and petrified wood were found at that
depth.
DIR. Stone, after comparing the record of
the present well, as far as it has gone down
with his own well, the st. Augustine well
| and Charleston well. thinks the heavy
dow of water will be reached at a depth Of
| some 300 feet. He has carefully arranged,
in tabular form, the geological formation
Of the depth OF wells at Charleston. st.
Augustine and of his own well and the
arlesian wells of this city, and the forma-
ton shows by its approximate uniformity
that If be had taken his we'll down 200 feet

might have flowed several million gallons
daily. He is watching with great interest

Under the left eye is a confusion, but
whether some one hit Mahoney or whether
be fell and inflicted the wound cannot be
told. Mahoney is still unconscious, and if
he were rational, the physician said that he
is too feeble to talk. For some time he has
been drinking very hard and his illness
may be result Of it. His physician said
that it is possible that he had
been lying in his store, with
the door closed for a number of days before
he was found. His stock of goods had
dwlndled down to almost nothing. What
he left will be looked after by his friends.
Mahoney was rather neat-looking young
man., and at one time stood very well. He
was Tor a long time a clerk in one of the
large dry goods houses here.
