RAIL AND OROssTIE.

The regular weekly meeting of the Sa-
vannah Construction Company was held
yesterday. The committees appointed to
solicit subscriptions have had but little to
do, as the total amount of new stock offered
has been taken up. There is some talk Of
making the capital stock 100000
The Telegraph says there is a report in
Macon that the builders of the Macon and
Atlantic are seriously considering the plan
of not making Savannah the terminus, as
was at first proposed, but that they will
probably run the road to point on the At
lantlc ocean about half way between Savan-
nah and Brunswick This means, the
Telegraph thinks, that the newly selected
terminus is at point on Sapelo sound, and
that a town and a port will be established
here in the near future. The change of
Atlantic road through tie coun-
ties of Bibb, Twiggs, Laurens, Mont
gomery, Tattnall, Liberty and Mcintosh. 1t
will run by or near Dublin and Sterling,
and will cross the Savannah, Florida and
Western road at Walthourvllle In that
way the road will open up large
amount of new territory. and will tap a
good section of Georgia. A gentleman who
| is in a position to know something about
this matter said: sit has for some time been
known that the Macon and Atlantic could
| not secure satisfactory terminal facilities at
| Savannah except at an immense cost. Even
| then it would have to enter the city by a
circuitous route and would have difficulty
in finding firm foundations for its
buildings. The Central and the Savannah,
| Florida and Western railroads occupy
nearly all of the available river front.
The idea of making Port Royal a terminus
| for the road seems to have been about given
up. Sapelo Sound will most probably be
selected, and with the expenditure there of
half the amount that would be required in
perfecting terminal facilities at Savannah,
| a pretty good sized town could be started at
Sapelon From inquiry of certain parties
vino are acquainted with Sapelo Sound. the
reporter learned that it was very good
land-locled harbor, and that there was g
depth of twenty feet of water on the bar al
low tide, thus admitting most coostwlse YES
| sells. 1t is believed that with a proper sys-
tenn of jetties and drengings it can be made
into one of the finest harbors on the ATTAIN
tic coast. Under the circumstances the
chances seem good for Macon to tap an en-.
tirely new territory, and for a new town tt
be built on the Atlantic that may yet make
both Brunswick and Savannah look to
their laurels

CROPS LOOKING WELL.
A Prosperous Season for Georgie's
Farmers.

A Prosperous Season for Georgie's
Farmers.
General Manager H. 8. Haines, who has
just returned from trip over the lines of
the Plant system in Georgia, says he never
saw crops looking so well or farms in
such excellent order, and he added that all
along the route he was impressed with the
remarkably good condition of the farms
and the thrifty appearance of cotton, corn,
and the growing crops generally. He says
he never knew such a melon crop as is Just
beginning TO go forward to the market.
On the Brunswick and Western, Col
haines says, there is large increase of
acreage of sea island cotton, which is most
promising. The farmers have used ferti-
lizers unsparingly this year, and with the
soil well prepared and a favorable season
thus far the prospect is flattering for good
yield.
Col. Haines' trip was from Savannah to
Brunswick, thence to Bainbridge and to
Monticello via Townsville and return.
The business of the roads operated under
the Plant system, Col. Haines says, shows
an improvement over the corresponding
period of the usual dull season which sets in
during the summer.
The only drawback the farmers of Soutt
Georgia have to complain of is the igh
pear crop, which was affected unfavo rably
by the March freezes.

A RATHER FOR LoNDoN's zoo.
Savannah Sends an American Reptile

Savannah Sends an American Reptile
to the Great English Menagerie.
The Southern Express Company carried
north yesterday box of queer freight. 1t
was 51l-feet "rattler" on his way to the
London Geological Gardens. The snake
was shipped by Denis J. Murphy to A. L.
Barnett, London, and the Express Company
charged So 60 for carrying his snakeship to
his destination.
Mr.. Barnett is of Bristol, England,
and he says, that in the great
collection Of snakes in the London
Zoo there is not a single American
''rattler." He proposes to endow the gar
dens with one.
The snake which he secured was captured
several weeks ago near Ellabel, on the Sa-
vannah and Western railroad, by DIR.
Mooney, and was presented to Capt
Dabpey, chief engineer of the road,
who named the serpent EllaheI,
after the place where he was caught. The
reptile has been on exhibition at
]. J. Sullivan's for a couple of weeks, and
il was there that Mr.. Barnett saw him.
Capt. Dabney in the meantime presented
the snake to Mr.. Murphy, by whom he was
sent to London.
An effort was made to secure transporta-
ton for the "rattler" by the Ocean Steam
ship line, but it declined to carry
that kind of freight. The snake was
securely boxed and the box was covere by
a thick, heavy wire net work.

GEORGIA PRESS ASSOCIATION.

At the last meeting of the Georgia Press
Association we were appointed committee to
select testimonial to be presented TO you, on
behalf OF the association, as an expression in
some slight degree of the appreciation in which
the members of the association bold the
services which you have rendered them during
the twenty years of your presidency OF the
association.
In undertaking the duties entrusted TO us, we
were confronted with the fact that no teSti-
monial which we could select could fully express
the appreciation of your labors, as the benefits
we have received from them cannot be COM
puted in silver and gold; and we ask you. there
fore, to accept this testimonial not as measuring
the value in which we hold your services but as
simple expression of our esteem, which we
hope will be to you reminder of those who
have, for so many years, looked to you for
guidance and have profited by your counsels.
We have selected for our testimonial articles
OF use, as representing life which has been
one of usefulness to your brethren; we have
selected sterling silver as represe nting an official
record which has never been furnished, and has
stood the crucial test of criticism.
In rendering you this token Of our esteem, we
beg to express to you our appreciation of the
kindly courtesy which has ever recognized the
humblest of our members as having equal rights
with ALL We have all felt the influence
of that sympathy which has been extended to
the struggling and disheartened, and through
that sympathy we have been encouraged to not
only keep up q brave heart, but to strive for
higher attachments. We have felt that you
were one of us-one who knew by experience
all our trials and trtumphs, who sympathiZed
with us in our dependency, and rejoiced with
US in our prosperity. We feel that we
have you to thank for that kindly feeling
which has made US band Of brothers,
bound by the ties Of common interest-for the
elimination Of personal bitterness in editorial
controversy for the elevation in tone of our
publications, and for tho pleasure Of friendly
intercourse with one another.
With the hope that your twenty years of
labor may be succeeded by twenty years of
peaceful prosperity, and that the silver of your
life may have golden lining, we are respect
fully, w. l.. GLEsSNBR,
