The Central to Run a Special" for
Their Accomm odation.
The booming little town of Pooler has
got out of her dilemma in a hurry. The
Central railroad will put on a special train
for the Poolerites' travel to and from the
city in time for work. The committee
waited upon the general manager, and as a
result of their conference train will be put
on next Monday and will bring the work
ing men to Savannah a half hour earlier
than they have been able to get here by the
old schedule.
The committee is jubilant over its sue
cess, and is certain that within six months
time over $50 workingmen will be regular
passengers on the little goobern train.
Central railroad men and laborers who
lived within short distance of the road
were the only people who could live out at
Pooler and do business in Savannah, for
the reason that by the time they reached
their work after coming in on the train
they would be over due and were locked.
The committee claims that more of the
Central railroad men, and number of the
Savannah, FIorid and Western railway
employees will move to Pooler since the spe-
cial train has been arranged for bringing
employees into the city a half hour earlier
than the old schedule did.

RAIL AND CROSSTIE.

The Virginia railroads made more money
in 1888 than in any preceding year for
many years.
The Eatonton Messenger prints the rumor
that William Leverett has been directed by
+. G. Machen, who is now in New York, to
secure the right of way from Machen, on
the Covington and Macon road, to Nc
D1nough, rs work will soon commence on
the survey from Machen to that POINT:
also that the road will be extended on to
EatCnton and on in the direction of Au-
gusta.
The Pittsburg Dispatch states that "the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has given
up the expsriment Of substituting iron rail-
way crosstIes for the wooden ties now in
use. The iron ones in use on the middle
division and in the Philadelphia yards will
be taken up and will probably be sent back
to England, whence they came. The iron
ties have been in use almost year, but
owing to their not having the elasticity
necessary for the giving of the rails they
have not proven a success. Another reason
to prevent their general use is the cost. AS
long as wooden ties can be purchased at
about one-third the cost of iron ties the
former will continue to be used.
A number of holders of North Carolina
bonds, issued to secure shares in the North
Carolina Railroad Company, which were
SUI scribed for by the state, recently brought
suit against the Richmond and Danvllle
Railroad Company, to which the North
Carolina road was leased, for an accounting
for the earnings of the property in excess
of the rent reserved in the lease. Judge
Wallace of the United States circuit court
has rendered a decision sustaining a de-
murrer interposed by the Richmond and
Danville company, and holding that the
bondholders could not maintain suit to
get from the lessees the earnings derived
under their lease unless they could show
that the lease was void or voidable.
J. G. Anderson, president Of the Empire
Lumber Company, has just written a letter

President Anderson SAYS: I'VE now have
eleven miles of standard gauge railroad (56
pound rail- extending from Empire, Ga, on
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad, eastward in the direction of Dub
lin. We expect to begin about March 1 ex-
tending this nineteen miles further to Dublin,
and twelve miles west of Empire to Hawk
insville, connecting the two towns, Hawk
insville and Dublin, the heads of navigation
on the Ocmulgee and Oconee rivers respect
lively. The distance is about forty-two
miles, The road will be built and equipped
in the best manner and opened for business
during the present year. At the same time
we propose to haul logs over it for our mills
at Empire, and will arrange to furnish logs
for other mills that will locate along the
line of road. This road will be extended
and operated under a separate charter
which was granted us last December by the
Georgia legislature under the name of the
Empire and Dublin railroad company"

back to colonial days, and are said to be
the oldest papers in the state. The Georgia

TURPENTINE BOXES.
The Season for Cutting Them Ended
March l.

VALDosTA, Ga, March f.-Editor Norm
ing NeWs: The legal time for cutting tur-
pentine boxes in Georgia expired yester-
day, and it is now INSIDE
rneanor-under the laws of the state-eith er
to cut. or cause to be cut, a turpentine box
anywhere in Georgia The time specified
in the Donaldson box-cutting law is from
Nov. Is to March 1.
This law, while it may appear arbitrary
to some. is directly in the interest Of naval
stores producers, and | make the assertion
that fully four-ffths of the producers ap-
prove OF the law and will observe it. 1t is
also approved by the naval stores factors
in Savannah and Brunswick.
Since this law went into effect-last
November one year ago-the enormous
crops of turpentine and rosin in Georgia
have been reduced materially, and better
prices have been obtained for turpentine
than producers have realized since 1882.
The prospect for good prices for the coming
season is even better, as owing to the heavy
rains for the last two months, and the food
ing of the woods in many sections, the
majority Of producers have not been able to
cut as many crops as they expected to cut.
Now, while this may seem to be disad-
vantage in one way, viz, limiting the opera
tions of the manufacturer 80 situated, it
will bring its full compensation in the way
of the increased prices which will probably
result from further reduction in the croJ
of 1889 az compared to 1888.
1t is very much to be feared tha5 some
parties 10 certain sections may violate the
state law in regard to box-cutting, and
keep their hands at work regardless OF the
act. Ihope such will not prove to be the
case, but if any violation of the law occurs
in any county it is very important that the
friends of the law-and those who observe
it themselves-should at once take steps to
bring the offenders to justice. | am assured
that the judges, solicitors, generals and
grand jures in all such districts will do
their full duty if any violation Of the act
is brought before them.
In this connection it is just as well to re-
member that the negro box-cutters are as
equally liable to arrest and prosecution as
the producer who employs them to cut
boxes out of season, and the moral effect on
the negro hands in any county-following
the arrest of any of their number for this
offenss-would effectually secure the OBJ
servance of the law in that section. "a
word to the wise is sufficient
In conclusion, | again assert that the box
cutting law is approved by the naval stores
factors and by fully four-fif his of the pro-
ducers themselves. If it is violated with
impunity by a single producer it will not
be long before it becomes a dead letter on
the statute books This would be serious
misfortune, as we have already shown the
good effects resulting from the observance
of the law last season.
Let the friends Of the law in every county
be on the watch, and if any violation oc-
ours take steps at once to prosecute either
the producer or his hands, who may pre-
sumo to break the law Of Georgia.

partition which separated the lumber room
and workshop from the front part of the

quickly on the ground.
An examination of the premises was
made by Chief Fireman Puder, and both
the front and back doors were found closed,
but a side door opening INTO yard was
open, aud the yard gate opening on the
street was also open. The cotton, what
there was left of it, had the appearance of
having been saturated with turpentine.

for Springs First Month.
The photographic office has just issued
its monthly forecast. 1t states that the
weather during March for the North At

during February, the southern limit of
frequent gales being, in general, line from
Hatteras to the English channel. To the

Judge Speer Says tho Political World
Has No Allurements for Him.
Judge Emory Speer, in writing from
Washington to a friend, says: 81 hope
that you will not credit the reports tnat 1
have or have had cabinet aspirations. They
are wholly untrue. l can never convince
some people that | am contented out of
politics, but you who know can believe
that | would not exchange judicial life for
any political occupation. 1t is not decorous
for me to say that l would decline
great office, which the President
elect has not offered me. but repeat that
l am In no sense an aspirant, and | would
much prefer my present station with its
broad opportunities for usefulness, and the
tranquil enjoyment Of my home and the
society of my friends, to which all the al
lurements OF politics are no more to be
