Malaria

Literally means bad air. Poisonous germs
arising from low. marshy land, or from
decaying vegetable matter. are breathed
into the lungs, taken up by the blood, and
unless the vital fluid is purified by the use
of good medicine like H DDS Sarsaparilla
the unfortunate victim is soon overpowered.
Even in the more advanced cases, where the
terrible fever prevails. this successful medi-
cine has effected rem arkable cures. Those
who are exposed to malarial or other poisons
should keep the blood pure by taking Hoods

GUYToN AND THE NJ AND A. ROAD.
The Question OF the Location OF the

The Question OF the Location OF the
Road Soon to Be Settled.
Editor Morning Net0s: The people of
Guyton and the stockholders of Pineora are
still held In suspense as to the direction the
Macon and Atlantic road will take in that
section. The Pineora people have offered
inducements to the road to come through
their property, which consists of about 400
acres OF wild land, which they have re-
Gently surveyed for the purpose of building
town. The Guyton people seem to be
greatly exercised by the fear that the road
will give their place the go by. Guyton is a
prosperous town, and is growing rapidly
1t is recognized by physicians in Savannah
TO be one of the healthiest places in the
state. Its excellent church and school
fac lities, together with the sociabiity that
exists there, renders it very desirable
place for parties seeking country homes
and doing business in Sava1-
nah. Aside from this Guyton
is destined to be a manufacturing town.
There is now being organized stock com
pany for the cree ion of an ice factory, and
barrel and key factory is being talked of
Guyton is one of the most prosperous towns
on tho Central road between Ma
con and Savannah, and it is
on the direct line of road
surveyed by the Macon and Atlantic peo-
pie from Stillmore to Savannah. Why,
then, should the Guyton people feel
alarmeda Is it possible that the
good judgment of Manager Lane
and Mr.. Wells of the surveying corps
will allow their road to miss so prospero IS
and enterprising a town directly on their
line just to favor parties desiring to build
town in the wild woods? No inducement
that the Pineora people could offer would
justify the Macon and Atlantic road ia
changing their route. C.

tion to restrain the deal, on the ground that
1t was violation of the State Constitution.
Both the lower and upper courts of the
State granted the injunction, and then.
when the railroad gobblers found their
game throttled, they decided to prevent the
road from being built by delaying it. So
they appealed the case to the Supreme
Court of the United States, where it still
lies buried.
OF course nothing could be done wite the
South Penn syndicate thus divided into two
factions. In 1885 work was stopped on the
line, and, although frequent attempts were
made bv the Pittsburgers to revive the en-
terprise, there were always so many obstruc-
tionists refusing to sign any agreement that
was devised that the whole thing lay DOR
mant until the early part of 1889. By that
time the Vanderbllts had, by delay and
squeezing, as we'll as by diplomacy, gotten
the majority of the stockholders into
position where encouragement and anxiety
about the eventual safety of the money in
vested made most of them sick of the whole
job. Then the Vanderbilt interests called a
meeting and offered to buy all the South
Penn stock that was offered at go cents on
the dollar. The offer remained open as
long as any stock was to be purchased.
Here was a chance to get out at only loss
of 40 cents on the dollar.
After much hesitation there was
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-07-20

stampede and everybody sold out. The
stocks were quietly laid away then in
Drexel & Morgan's bank. Various were the
| coniectures. Some believed that the Wander
bilts had bought up the stocks in order to
get the entire road in their hands and then they
would secretly sell it to the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Others maintained that in order
to keep off the Pennsylvania Railroad
rivalry in his own field of the North
eastern States it would pay Wander
bilt to buy the South Penn road
entire, and simply smother it mself by let
ting it lay idle, and thereby soothe the
troubled railroaa and financial sea- In any
event. everybody agreed that the South
Penn was dead. The Vanderbilts would
not build it, so, of course, the hand of the
Pennsylvania Railroad could be seen in the
whole affair.
And so the works of the South Penn lay
to-day untouched, unsought, but not un-
mourned. The resent sale of the charter of
the road is believed by some to simply mean
the completion of the transfer of the entire
property to the present owners. With
firm OF bankers holding the mortgage on the
property for all that it cost and the Wander
bilts holding franchises and the minority
stockholders all frozen out, the ingenuity of
financiers and lawyers has fairly surpassed
itself.
WHERE THE MONEY WENT.
When the work of construction was
stopped The South Pennsylvania Transit,
the official circular of the engineering corps
of the road, contained the following summary
of the S., 500. 600 worth of work that had
then been completed:
No road in the world was probably SO thor
oughly typographical. n the expression may be
used, than ours The system was perfect and
searching. Under this system we have sur
veyed and made 10-foot contoured maps Of over
1000 square miles, and to do this have run by
preliminary and location lines over 5000 miles,
We have, in addition, superintended, staked
and measured off.:about "a. 600 900 worth of con-
tract work. There is nu doubt in anyone's
mind that the engineers would have had trains
running to-day il they had ''been let alone"
The work done on tunnels to date is indicated
by the following table of lineal progress:

Amboy and the abrupt highlands of Sandy
Hook, while to the east lies thc lowland of
Coney Island with its mushroom wealth and
noisy pleasures. The ocean ships steaming

fifty sail lying over close hauled in the dis
tance, the notes of the artillery bugle be.
hind us, four men gathering hay on the
slopes in the immediate foreground-are all
that give life to the natural scene. The
smoke OF our cigars curtis gracefully up
ward, plays for an instant about cannon's
mouth and vanishes.
TWELVE MILES THE NEAREST.
"You have doubtless read of how mod
ern warship might lie off Coney Island out
side the bar and she'll New York" contin-
ued the young lieutenant" Well, the
nearest large Narship could get to New
York would be about 12 miles, unless she
could get over the bar. The latter feat could
be accomplished only at high tide, and then
only by narrow and difficult channel. 1
will show you on the chart presently that
the nearest formidable iron-clad warship
could get would be IL miles from the city,
and that particular tour-fathom spot would
be dangerous at low tide. From that posi-
tion she could destroy the Coney Island
hotels and injure the suburbs of BROOKLYN.
Now, frst-class war ships cost too much
money to risk torpedoes and grounding tor
any such purpose. The modern proiectiles
tor guns that will carry eight miles would
be worth more than the property thev would
destroy at long range. Similar guns in
these old forts would make such an attempt
extra hazardous. To shell New York it
would be first necessary to silence these
forts and take up the torpedoes in the chan
mel. Yes, with long range, that is II and
10 inch, modern guns, a frstclass fleet
might lie outside and make these old forts
too hot to hold us as we are now armed. The
big guns you see here and in the granite
classmates of Wadsworth would be service
able at the range made possible by an enemy
coming over the bay. No plates were ever
put on ship that can stand the racking of
15-inch round shot at point blank range.
