Enterprises.
As nothing has bean heard Of the South
Bound railroad enterprise for the last week,
aud inquiries have been made if it has been
lost sight Of, MORNING NEWS reporter
asked Mr.. Herman Myers yesterday what
is the status of the South Bound.
MIR. Myers said that the canvass for stock
was suspended to aid the Americas
road, with no idea Of losing sight
Of the South Bound. As soon as
the committees working for the
subscription to the Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery have finished their work,
and have shown that they can or cannot
raise the amount required by Col. Hawkins,
then Mr.. Myers said: 1--WE win go TO work
again and finish up our subscription"
1t is unders God that Col. Nike Brown,
the chief mover in the enterprise, is gett ng
npatieut at the delay, as he says
The projectors want 10 push the road
through this year from BarnweIl,
S. c., and that would insure the
extension To Columbia. If Savannah had
Fl lishsd up its subscrip ion last April Col.
Brown thinks the work would have been
under way before this time.
To-day there will be meeting at the
Board of Ira ie rooms to hear the fiaal re-
port of the SUI committees, W ic I began
new canv IS last Thursday afternoon for
The Savannah, Americas and Montgomery.

from President Bagley,' Of the Am ,ricu,

THE HUCKLEBERRY SEASON.
The Little Berry Coming in and Sell

me Little Berry Coming In and Sell
ing hiRn.
Huckleberries are in ths market in limited
quantities. They sell well. The first that
were peldled out by huck,ters brought %
cents per quart, but the price has dropped
down to Is and 20 cents. The berries are
not as large and juicy as they were lAsJ
year, and the yield is not as great. but the
hucksters are going to make nearly as much
off of them, on the short supply racket.
The bakers have begun to make pies out
of this years berries, and they are buying
up a large quantity of the berries ol the
market. They are cooking them up and
will make them last until next season, or, il
the supply will not admit Of it, they will
make them last through hucklebsrry season.
They have a fair knowledge of what
amount will be on the market, and it is
their aim to get as many as will be required
for their business.
q An old huckster, who had Just disposed
Of BASKET Of berries, said Yesterday that
they are very scarce, and the upland bushe
bore no fruit. The huckeberry
"pickers" have t. go down into the branches
where the bushes grow in the marshes TO
z ather them. The dry weather has made
the snakes come olt, he said, and the risk
incurred in gathering the berries should
enhance the price of them as we'll as the
short supply 1t is instant death aim st.
he said, to DO bitten by q moccasn or a
rattlesnake, and they can bs found in
"Auckleberry patchn when they can be
found nowhere else.
1t is not likely that the prices of berries
viii be much lower than what they now
are, unless the rain of Thursday is not too
late TO be of benefit to them.
