The RATE OF INTEREST.


The average rate of interest received on
loans by twenty insurance companies in
this country has fallen from, an average of
per cent in 1869 to an average of 46 per
cent. in 1889. The fve-year average during
the twenty years has been for the first five
years, 81; for the second SO; for the third,
5; for the fourth, Al; and during 1889 it
was 4.6.
An exchange says of this that the west
would view with satisfaction any further
reduction of the eastern money rate. This
is true, for the west needs capital to de-
velop its resources, and it is not easy TO
borrow at high rates of interest It will
be seen, also, that insurance companies
lend money at small rates of interest, be-
cause of the good security they get.
There is prevalent notion that since the
rate of interest would be lowered by an
abundance of money, it would be good
thing greatly to increase the existing stock
of money. This has often been tried, and
the supply of money has often been in
creased by the issue of paper notes. But
the imitation, as it is termed, has always
failed of good results, since in such cases
the purchasing power of the money is re-
duced in the same ratio as the normal
amount of money is increased. In borrow
ing, men simply wish TO control the agen-
cies of production, viz: lands, horses,
plows, machinery, etc. 1t is not exactly
that they want money; they would borrow
the lands and machinery directly, if they
could. The money is simply a means by
which they are enabled 10 borrow the ma
chinery of production. Now, the issue of
extra money will not increase the number
of horses, plows or buildings, and hence it
will not cheaper them. Low interest will
not be secured by excessive issues of
money, but by the accumulation of capital.

RAIL AND CRossrIE

Supt. George W. Haires of the Bruns-
WICK and Western railroad came up to Sa-
vannah last night il his private car.
An extra coach has been put on the Ella
belle train. The traffic, both freight and
passenger, has increased very much sinca
the new station has been added to the run.
The Isle of Hope extension still continues
unextended, as the points of difference
between the Coast Line and the Thund sr-
bolt authorities have not yet been amica5ly
settled. --ea,.
The directors of the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company are understood to have
approved contracts for the extension to
lronton, o. Contractors are required to
begin work at once and have the line. 100
miles in length, ready for the rails in one
year. Money for building the road was
provided by the recent sale of S5,000,000 )
per cent. bonds. The equipment is to be
provided for cut of the proceeds of $4,000
shares of preferred stock.
One of the most promising roads pro-
jected in South Carolina lust at present.
the Charleston NelCS and Courier says, is
the South Carolina Southern, which is to be
run from Sumter, north to Cheraw The
company is pushing ahead very RAPIDLY,
and expects to have the preparation for
construction com pieted in a few weeks. TIE
surveyors are now in the field locating the
route, and as soon as the profile is ready
calls will be issued for bids. This will be
Gone in about a month. The line will be
built direct from Sumter to Cheraw, where
it viii connect with the Robinson system,
and thence continue by connections to the
north. This will give the middle and,
through connections, the lower portions of
the state three competing lines to the
north-one by the Atlantic Coast Line, one
by the Richmond and Danville, and the
third by the Robinson system. This line
will be constructed by a South Carolina
company, and will be operated independ-
emily OF the management of any of the pres
emit system of railroads running through this
state.
1t is understood in railroad circles in
Charleston, the Nelos and Courier says,
that the authorities of the Charleston, Sum
ter and Northern railroad would, in a few
weeks, begin preparations for the construc-
ton Of the northern extension of the road
from Sumter to Bennettsville by the way
of Darlington. The company demanded
S1l4,00 from the counties of the Pee Dee
section, this amount to be subscribed to the
capital stock Of the road. Darlington voted
$50, 600 some weeks ago, and the merchant
of Charleston have subscribed nearly
$4,000. The right of way viii be guaran.
teed, and all the towns at which the road
VIII boucn On Cue route are expected 10 give
ample lands on which to erect depots and
sheds. Darlington and Bennettsville have
given frst-c)ass terminal facilities, and the
prospect IS that as soon as the road is con.
structed and equipped it will do a vecv
large business, both in the passenger and
freight departments. In consideration Of
these facts, the authorities will not stand
back on account OF the few thousand dol
lars deficit. 1t is expected that active prep
arations for work Will be commenced very
soon.

DIED OF YELLOW JACK.
The Terrible Disease Conveyed by
AlligatOrs TO Reading.

The Terrible Disease Conveyed by
AlligatOrs TO Reading.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
READING, Pa, March 24.-John Leaman,
the 7-year-old son of Aaron Leamon of
Womelsdorf, this county, is supposed to
have died of yellow fever. Black spots ap-
peared upon the cnilds body, vomiting en-
sued, and all the symptoms Of yellow fever,
with final collapse, resulted. There was no
other disease which doctors certificate
could certify as having caused the child's
death; no other symptoms in the medical
works which the death could be attributed
to, although the death occurred practically
in winter, although, by the calendar, in
early spring, the symptoms and all past ex-
periences seemed to conflict.
Finally, DR.. Frank Sallade, physician
of undoubted skill, had no other recourse.
after making diagnosis, TO declare it..
strange as it might seem, to be yellow
fever. He had attended the child in its
illness, had marked the progress of the dis
ease from stage to stage, was anxious, as
his professional reputation was at stake, not
to make a mistake which should subject
him to ridicule ard the criticism of the
practitioners Of other schools or OF rivals
but there was no alternative. The GER
tificate declared the child died of yellow
fever.
THE CAUSE INVESTIGATED.
In common with others he was anxious
to ascertain how the child could possibly
have caught the disease, for the idea that it
was indigenous was out OF the question.
After questioning the father of tue child
Mr.. Leaman STATED the following facts:
Rev. J. l.. Guinther, his brother-in-law,
has charge of a congregation in Florida
Recently he sent two small alligators north
as pets for his nephew. Little John became
much attached to the alligators and fondled
them day after day. After IA time the child
sicKened and manifested all the symptoms
of yellow fever, which in Florida are well
recognized.
TRANSMITTED BY THE ALLIGAToRs.
1t has often happened, and is a we'll
recorded fact, that aliigators, which inhabit
the swamps and malarial regions in the
south, where the germs Of yellow fever and
other zymOtic diseases Turk, have frequently
conveyed the disease from place to place
The absence of frost this season, v hicn is
death to the germs, would account for the
Transmission of the live germs by adhesion
to the alligator skins in their transit north
1t might happen and frequently has &C.
Cured. that while yellow fever may not be
epidemic, yet the germs may exist in an
embryonic state in the marshes and low
lands inhabited by the saurians. and in this
way the disease was carried TO the child.
Since the little boy sickened and died the
citizens discuss the affair under intense ex-
ctement, and are fearful that an epidemic
of yellow fever may break out in their
borough upon the advent Of warmer
weather.

The T. P. as and Business Men
Pulling Together.
General Manager J. C. Van Pelt, of the
Trave,ers' Protective Association, arrived
in the city yesteT day and met large num-
Der of business men on the question of the
international mileage book, which the st.
PAS" hope to inaugurate at the conven-
ton OF the traffic associations and the bust
ness men, to be held in Chicago some time
this year.
Mr.. Van Pelt came to Savannah from
Augusta. He has made tour of nearly all
the southern cities in the interest of the
mileage book, and is meeting with the most
encouraging support. The ticket will be
gotten out, if adopted by the railroads. at
the associations expense. They will be so
made that any member of a business house
may ride upon the same book
The tickets will be issued in
1OOO mile and 1000 mile books

chase one of the mileage books, but none
except an employe or member of firm
can ride upon it,
In order to insure the railroads against
ANYBODY except a business man using the
tickets, the ASSOCIATION WILL If the ticket is
adopted place Identification agents In each
city where members of the organization
are, who will provide each rightful
owner Of a ticket with card of
identification. The holder of a ticket will
be required to produce this card of identifi-
cation to the conductor when the fare is
collected. If the holder should not fill the
description in the card, the mileage book
will be taken up and the passenger will be
required to pay his fare.
President Newman of the Southern Trav-
eler's Association has given General Man
ager Van Pelt all the support possible since
the general manager came here. A large
number CT names has been secured already.
MIR. Van Pelt will go from here to Charles
ton and thence to Richmond, securing
names to the organization endeavoring to
get up the milage book, to be adopted at
the Chicago contention.
The travelling men will be represented at
the conven ticn by twenty representatives
OF the different organizations, the mer-
chants and manufacturers will be repre-
sented by twenty men, and the four traffic
associations will be represented by four
members. Fourteen drummers' assoca-
tons have already decided to select repre-
sentatives. The Travellers Protective
Association has inGorsed the movement
and representatives have been se-
lected. The board which is trying
to get up the mileage book has nothing to
do with the Travellers Protective Associa-
ton, or any other particular association.
1t is intended to be board represented by
the business men from all sections, let them
be members of what associations they may.
The name of the board is the Central Board
of the National Commercial Travellers AS
ISOLATION Of America. 1t is temporarily
organized, with S. A. Haines as president.
AT the Chicago convention the board will
be completed.
