PREPARING FOR TIE RESORTS.
The Summer Travel to open This
Week-Where Savannahians GO.

The Summer Travel to open This
Week-Where Savarnahiaus GO.
The summer excursion rates on all the
railroads composing the Southern Passen-
ger Association go into effect next Thursday,
May Is. There has been some delay in fix
ing the rates. but they will be practically
the same as last year.
Tho large number Of people who leave
Savannah for the resorts every summer for
q longer or shorter stay will soon begin TO
calculate the cost Of summer trip, the rail-
road fare being the chief item in the calcu~
iation, though IL is a notorious fact that
hotel bills distance railroad fare clear out Of
sight when 1t comes to a summer trip,
especially If it be TO fashiona lie resort.
Tybee will catch the big crowd of sum-
mer visitors as a matter of course. Tybee,
in fact, is the best patronized summer
resort on the southern coast. A great many
Savannah people who formerly went north
in summer now spend the SEASON at Tybee,
going away, If at all, for a short while late
in the summer. The railroad schedules will
be convenient for business men who can
spend their days in the city and their nights
on the island.
The greater portion of the people who
leave Savannah in the summer 60 into the
mountains Aside from the North Geor-
gia resorts, Asheville is probably the most
popular resort with Savannahians, and a
larger number than ever can be counted on
to go there this year. The Centrals
through schedule to Asheville aud Hot
Springs will be great drawing card for
those resorts.
The mountains of North Georgia are be-
coming more popular every year, and
thousands Of people from all over the state
flock there. They have found that IL is Just
as pleasant in the mountains of Georgia as
in Virginia or any other state. So
many little places ara springing up
in that portion of the state
and claiming the public attention that ac-
commodatiou is very easy TO obtain and
rates are much lower than at the fashiona-
bic resorts farther north. Gainesville, Tai
lulah, Tocooa and the other well-known
places will of course be we'll patronized.
There will as usual be a large number of
Savannahians who will visit the lakes, the
Thousand Islands and other fashionable
northern resorts.

vannah
The little town has double daily trains
over the Central and Savannah and West

enclosed and the underbrush and obstruc-
tions removed, giving 1t a most pleasing
appearance. As hotel sta the park will
compare with any along the line Of either
road.
The garden is artistically laid off with
artificial lakes and fountains, supplied with
pure artesian water, and ornsmented with all
kinds OF rare flowers, plants and shrubbery,
and is kept in perfect order.
Mai. Meldrim has erected in the garden a
rustic summer house and rustic chairs,
which give it charming appearance. The
streets are regularly laid off, named and
numbered, and have been placed in perfect
order.
Those who made purchases some time ago
are beginning to build up.
John Woeltjen has erected a commodi-
GUS and well finished store-house, and will

1t is pretty we'll settled that the Central
has secured the Chattanooga, Rome and
Columbus railway and now has through
line to Chattanooga. Gen. Alexander is in
New York, it Is understood. to arrange q
consummation Of the deal
The new line, it is understood, will be a
part of the Savannah and Western system.
A proposition was submitted to the stock
holders of the Chattanooga. Rome

and in addition thereto to transfer

represented at the meeting.
The deal has been pending for two or
three months, and its final contamination
now only awaits the official action of the
Central authorities. The formal transfer
will probably be made this week. J. W.
Williamson, former president of the Chat
tauooga, Rome and Columbus, e Is UNDER
stood, will be made division superintendent
of the line from Chattanooga to Griffin.
The Central will now have a through line
to Chattanooga. The Chattanooga, Rome
and Columbus runs from Carrollton, where
1t connects with the avannah. Griffin and
North Alabama to Chattanooga.
IL has 140 miles Of main line and thirty-five
miles of branch mineral roads. The dis
lance from Savannah to Chattanooga is
seventeen miles greater than by Atlanta
and the Western and Atlantic, but being
over its own roads the Central will have
the advantage in freight hauls. The Chat
tanooga, Rome and Columbus runs through
Chickamauga and passes directly by the
state military encampment ground.
