We desire to place ourselves Oh
record in the matter Of a site for the
Worlds Fair to take place in 1892
New York, St. Louis, and Chicago are
squabbling over the matter, and offer.
ing all kinds of inducements Large
amounts Of money have been sub.
scribed by each one of these cities
and still they are not happy. Man,
ming cannot afford to be so undigni-
fed as to enter into a scramble for q
little thing like the Worlds Fair, but
should the committee in charge de,
sire to come to this place we will use
our influence with the board of coun-
ty commissioners to let them have the
court house square. Gentlemen oi
the board, there is nothing like taking
time by the forelock, and in order to
prevent being taken by surprise we
think it would be we'll for you to con-
slider the advisability of repairing the
fencing around the court house; also
give the building a good coat of paint
which it very much needs. However,
gentlemen, you know better than we
do how much money there is in the
county purse, but in our opinion it
would be economy to have this needed
work done.

perfectly pure, healthy blood. The hered-
itary scrofulous taint afaicts the large major
ity of people, while many others acquire
diseases from impure air, improper food,

like Hoods Sarsaparilla, which eradicates
every impurity, and gives to the blood vial
ity and health. It cures scrofuia, salt
rheum, humors, boils, pimples, and all other
affections caused byimpurities or poisonous
germs in the blood. All that is asked for
Hoods Sarsaparilla is that it be given fair

sherif's sales. Monday was salesday,
and as far as property was concerned
the sheriff had nothing to do. 1t is
certainly very gratifying to our people
to know that the day has passed When
the court house square was crowded
with people ready to bid off the prop
erty of neighbor. It shows that the
people are more careful than they
used to be, and have stopped giving
mortgages on their homes, and the
consequence is they are prospering.

We are informed by one of the SCI
entifc men that visits US occasionally,
that he has made careful study of
the causes and effects of earthquakes,
and after very laborious search be
has been convinced that earthquakes,
like ladies' bustles, are things Of the
past. After careful survey of the
heavens he finds something that has
the appearance of sword, goat, and
slice of bread on the face of the moon.
Should this be true there is some
cause for uoeasiness among those su-
stitiously inclined. Tradition has it
that at meeting Of the wisest astrol-
ogists OF ancient times this same sign
made its appearance, and it gave rise
TO considerable discussion and
thought, and after handling the sub
ject for several days they came to the
conclusion that whenever this sign ap-
peared on the face of,the moon earth
quakes would be no more, and in their
stead would come war and famine,
and ever since it has been looked upon
as bad sign among superstitious
people. Modern scientists have dis
covered that the sword is an indica
ton of war, and the slice of bread,
of famine

night that nothing definite had been decided

will continue to keep it open during the dull
season. Just Mt this juncture il is q hard

hotel up, and yet if the state travel can be

torpedo near this city and the legs of the

have been more than once lacerated and
the lives of citizens imperiled by the mis-
chievous practice of placing these torpedoes
on the street car tracks, some special effort
of the police to catch the offenders would
be hailed with delight. The offense is often
repeated and tragedy is likely to occur at
any time.

The Georgia Southern and Florida
Heading Toward Savannah
General Manager Lane of the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad spent yester
day in Savannah in conference with mum
Der Of prominent business men, He came on
the morning fast mail and returned on the
fast mail last night
To good many, General Manager Lanes
visit is significant. There are just now
Florida wants to head this way and it Is
said there is a good deal of quiet work going
on toward accomplishing some definite re-
suits In this direction.
MORNING NEWS reporter saw Mr..
Lane last night before the fast mail pulled
out, but the general manager was conserva-
tive In what he gave out. There is some
talk OF the line from here to Macon, he
said, land some interest seems to b,
aroused, but l am informed that beyond
the talk and desire to have the road built
little is definitely known.
Mr.. Lane said that matters have not gone
far enough vet to say what is required to
get the road here "Matters are in such
shape" he added, 'that propositions are
premature.3
xviii the proposed road from Macon to
Savannah parallel the Centraln he was
asked.
mo; it would be much shorter than the
Centraln
ION which side of the Central would IL
runP'
South of the Centrars linen
Mr.. Lane explained that the Centrars
route is 1872 miles, and an airline from here
10 Macon is not over $50 miles. He said
however, that a railroad could not be built
between the two cities under mileage of
one hundred and sixty odd miles.
Can the proposed road be put through
in yearg'
with sufficient labor, yes. 1t would
nave to have ample capital behind it."
w here would the capital come from to
| build the road,n
Probably. the bulk of it would be
Georgia capital. Three-fourth of the Geor-
ga Southern and Florida railway capital is
Georgia capital.
Mr.. Lane said that the Macon and Birm-
lngham, line of 23J miles now being built
by the Georgia Southern aud Florida COM
pany, Is progressing rapidly. One hundred
miles OF the road are now under contract
ana the work of getting the other part of
10 IN shape to let is being pushed. He said
Ina6 IL the Savannah part of the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad is built, it
VIII form part of a direct and short route
from the sea to the western iron mines and
coal regions. This will probably be the
shortest route from this part of the country
to the west.
Mr.. Lane added that the Georgia South
ern and Florida is arranging for the con-
struction of a branch to Townsville, from
some point, probably Triton, on the lower
part of the line. The amonnt of traffic
which the road has had sincs 1T began

is increasing all the time. The general
manager said that the Georgia Southern
and Florida people are just now too busy to
begin the construction of many more enter
prlses. The summer season, however, will
| enable the road TO straightel itself, and the
new road people will have more time to
talk the new line to Savannah.

Where are you going to locate the fifty

quired yesterday of Alderman Harmon.

wherever there is dark place." Alder
nlan harmon replied. "You can say to the
citizens" he added, that wherever there is
dark corner, we should like to have them
SEND IN their complaints to the street and
lane committee, and the matter will be in
vestlgated. We expect with the fifty ad-
oltlonal lights to have one of the best
lighted cities of the south.n
Ia answer to the question whether any
points have been located thus far where
new lights are to be placed, Mr. Harmon
SAID that lamp will be placed at Whitaker
and Liberty and at Whitaker and Sonth
Broad, which places are not as we'll lighted
as they should be. Other lights Will be
placed on South Broad and Liberty streets
and In the western and southwestern por-
tlons OF the city, distributed as far as prac-
ucable to improve the general illumination
of the entire city.
Some changes will have to be made in the
location or lamps to throw the light on
sidewalks now darkened by the foliage of
the shade trees. la several instances the
larger trees have been trimmed of the lower
branches, which in each instance has tended
TO better distribute the light over the pave
ments which were dark and afforded n
private hiding place for footpads. Fifty
lights viii certainly be a great improve
ment over the 200, as the 200 are over the
old tower system.
