"Not Worth a Dam |"

Editor Morning Ne,0s: Many expires
sions are used which to the common mind are
unintelligible, and those using them do not
7 ally know what they mean. The above
ex Jression is doubtless used daily, and
many think it a kind of oath or swear
ing, when, in truth, it is nothing but a COM
mercial phrase or a business value. The
word is English, and the English got it
from India A dam" or ''dlu n" is an
Indian copper coin, the fortieth part of
rupee, and worth about half cent. Thus
the East Indian in expressing his contempt
for the value of thing, would say. at is
not worth dam or daum." The English
uses the word dam. Our expression about
a worthless thing Is, mot worth cent"
An oath or swearing is altogether differ
ent, for then the word damp is used
which means to condemn, to des roy. 1t is
said that after the revolutionary war.
when the old continental money was called
in to be destroyed, and other paper issued
that the bills had written upon their face
for abbreviation, dam ~ for the Latin
word 'damnatus," it is condemned or to be-
destroyed. When an imprecation is hurled
at an individual then the word ''da mn ia
used But when ne is a triher, a loafer. n
cheat or swindler his value as man of
character or worth is estimated at dam. y
In 9th words he is worthless to society as
good citizen.
Some of our street corners might show
up certain class who are not worth a
dam TO themselves or their families.
They do not work, nor do they seek work.
Their presence is really a lisance, and the
vagrant law could be brought into play
elegantly.
The expression, "He is a brick, - Is over
1000 years old. Ageslaus. King Of Sparta,
$50 B. c., in showing his army of 10000
men, pointing to them he said: There are
the walls OF Sparta, and every man is a

TYBEE ROAD CHANGES.
T. g. Noise Appointed superintend-

e. Noise Appointed Superintend-
ent-Putting on Coal Burners
| T.. s. Noise, trainmaster for the Savan-
nah and Western division Of the Central
system, has been appointed superintendent
of the Savannah and Atlantic railway, and
will take charge Of the road on Aug. Is.
The appointment Of Mr.. Noise is with the
intention Of giving the public first-class
service in every respect. DE has had large
experience in the transportation depart
msnt Of the Central, and Is fully equipped
for the position.
The new owners Of the Tybee road are
determined to make its passenger service
satisfactory in every respect. The loc mo-
tives are now being changed TO coal burn
ers, and will use anthracite coal here
after, instead Of wood. This will be
gratifying to the patrons Of the road, as
the flying cinders from the engines have
been very annoying to travel in open cars.
Persons travelling in these cars on windy
d y would be almost covered by cinders,
and eyes, ears and hair would he filed with
them. The change will be completed in q
fes days, and this annoyance will be dome
away with.
General Manager Gabbett is having all Of
the rolling stock of the Savannah and At
lantic overhauled and put in order. Great
improvements will be made IN that depart
ment. Mr. Gabbett was seen at his office
yesterday by a MORNING NEWS reporter.
and was asked what connection the Central
road would make with its new purchase
whether il will build belt
line around the city 10 connect with the
t. bee road, as has been discussed, or
whether IL will utilize ths rack running
along the river front to the Central railroad
wharves. By extending the river front
track the roads would be given very close
connection.
Mr.. Gzbbet said the directors have ar
rived ct no decision with regard TO connect
ing the roads II is certain that a connec-
ton will be made, but work will hardly
begin before the fall. MIR Gabbett was
unable TO say whether the river front track
would be used or whether belt line would
be built The uilding Of a belt line has
been Considered, but nothing definite has
been decided upon except that the connec-
ton will be made.
Mr.. Gabbett said that the Tybee excur-
sions viii be made a special feature next
summer, and the Central directors had this
in view when they purchased the road
Special excursion trains will be run from
Augusta. Macon and Atlanta through to
Iybee without change, as the roads will be
connected by next summer. This will relieve
the excursi0nists from disembarking at the
Central depot, transferring across the city
on the street car lines and re-embarking at
the Tybee depot as at present, and will be a
wonderful saving Of time and trouble.
Altogether the prospects are very bright
for the Tybee road
