AMERICAN TOBACCO COM
PANY BRAINS.
Remarkable Ability in the Con-
duct of a Great Corporations
Affairs.

Remarkable Ability in the Com
duct of a Great Corporations
Affairs.
Access to the officers of the
American Tobacco Company is
not easy. but one is permitted
TO admire the ability with which
the affairs of that gigantic cor
poration are conducted. To
bring in a little bit of Latin,
which even those who, like
Shakespeare know but a trifie
of that extinct tongue, will un-
derstand, the Company is great
on the "suaviter in modo, forti-
in re" policy. >Itis the suavest
business corporation in the
world, while on the other side
of the comma which divides the
famous classical quotation it is
in nothing lacking. Outside Of
the q. s. Tobacco journal,
and the State Department at
Washington, no business enter
prise in the United States has
more brains behind it than the
corporation over which Mr..
James B. Duke presides. This
is not said ia q spirit of persi-
fiage, but is a sober tribute to
an institution which deserves
the highest respest.
The foregoing remarks are
apropos of the latest innovation
which the American Tobacco
Company has set on foot. BY
circular the Company notified
its customers that on and after
October 1, 1891, the price Of ci-
garettes would be 81, per thous-
and, instead Of 1885 as hither-
10. In addition to the regular
discount of 2 per cent. for cash |
it would allow TO the jobber or
wholesaler in New York City |
and vicinity a rebate Of 80 cents
per thousand, and to the retail
er rebate of50cents per thous-
and. Prior TO October ] the re
bate bad been 10 cents and 20l
cents to the jobber. On the |
face of the circular cigarettes
advanced Is cents perthousand,
in fact, they de Lined 80 cents. |
By the same circular which is
now being described jobbers
are notified that a weekly state
ment will be required from them
Of their sales TO retailers. AL
jobber selling, say 1000 cigar
ettes, 10 a retailer gives the re-
taller a certificate to that effect.
This certificate is redeemable
at the end of every six months
at the offices of the American
Tobacco Company, at the rate
Of 80 cents for every thousand
cigarettes purchased by the re
taller. So that the American
Tobacco Company becomes
virtually a savings bank for
the retailer, and the amount
that he may withdraw from
that savings bank is limited on
~ by the quantity Of his pur-
chases from the jobber or
wholesaler, while the company
enjoys tho use Of the retailers
money for six months without
cost. II is a brilliant business
scheme, il is original with the
American Tobacco Company,
and il shows that the company's
affairs are conducted with re-
markable business ability

one Way to Settle tho Trouble.

one W ny " 0OLNAG luO AIO0DAcs
The business men Of this city know very
little Of the causes Of the trouble between
the Richmond and Danville and the Savan-
nah, Americas and Montgomery railroads,
but they do know that it is driving away
from Savannah business that naturally be-
longs to her. They are not so much inter-
ested in the trouble as they are in its speedy
settlement. They regard It as hardship
that they should be the victims Of a traffic
fight between two rival railroads. They
have right to protest, and do protest,
against a condition Of affairs which is
hurtful to their interests.
The Savannah, Americas and Montgom-
cry road has been virtually cut off from
this city by the action Of the Richmond and
Danvile- The splendid business of the
territory tributary to il which has been
coming here is being diverted to other cities.
If the tronble between the two roads con-
tinues very long Savannah is certain to lose
a large amount of trade.
And there is no certainty whel the
trouble will end. If peace is patched up
it may not last a great while. One or the
other Of the roads is pretty certain to be-
come dissatisfied and insist upon other con-
cessions.
1t is about time for Savannah's business
men to find out some way for protecting
themselves. They cannot afford to be at
the mercy Of fighting railroads. II they
content themselves with simply complain
ing and protesting their business will
gradually drift away from them.
One way to protect themselves is to en-
courage the building OF the Savannah,
Americas and Montgomery road into Sa-
vannah. II that road was built to this city
Savannah business men would be in no dan
ger OF losing the trade of the territory
tributary to it.
The Savannah Construction Company
could do great deal toward inducing it to
extend its line here. II that company
should build terminal facilities for the South
Bound railroad at Columbia and Ssvan-
nah 1t would not only benefit itself,
but it would encourage the Savannah,
Americas and Montgomery and other
roads to build into Savannah. 1t has here
an eligible site for freight warehouses and
passenger depot. The Macon and ATTAIN
tic might even be induced to build to juno
ton with the South Bound. 1t could then
come into the city on the South Bounds
track.
And il would not cost the construction
company great deal to extend the tracks
of the Soush Bound into and build depots and
warehouses at Columbia and Savannah, 1t is
estimated that $500 would be sufficient.
This is a matter that the Savannah Con-
struction Company ought to take into Be-
rious consideration. 1t has the opportunity
Of doing something that would help the
city greatly. 1t could do nothing that
would contribute more to Savannah's pros
perity than to help bring the Savapnah,
Americas and Montgomery and the Macon
and Atlantic within her limits.

Difference Between Father and Son

Gov. Fleming on Top.

The decision Of the Florida supreme court
to the effect that the secretary Of state must
affix the seal of his Office to the appointment
of Mr.. Davidson as United States senator
marks another step in the Davidson Call
contest, and must be very gratifying to
Gov. Fleming. The governor was Of the
opinion that MIR. Call was not elected United
States senator, and he appointed Mr.. David
son TO that position. The secretary of state
declined to afix the seal Of his Office to the
appointment, and the attorney general de-
clined to bring a mandamus suit to
compel him TO do so. The gov
ernor, however, refused to accept the action
Of these officials as finally settling the ques-
ton whether or not the seal of the secretary
Of state was to be fixed to the appointment
of Mr.. Davidson. He secured the services
of an attorney and had the question brought
before the supreme court, and that tribunal
sustained him. No doubt the secretary of
state and the attorney general were sincere
in the position which they took, out they
were mistaken.
Asfar as credentials are concerned Mr..
Davidson is now better equipped for the
contest in the Senate than Mr.. Can. He
has an appointment properly certified. MIR.
Call has no certificate of election. He has,
however, a certified copy Of the proceedings
of the legislature.
The decision Of the supreme court does not
touch upon the merits of the contest, and,
therefore, will have no influence with the
Senate. 1t only settles one thing, and that
is that when the governor makes an ap.
pointment it is the duty of the secretary Of
state to afix the seal of his office to it, if it
is an appointment which requires the seal.
The difference between the governor aud
the secretary of state and attorney general
has attracted good deal OF attention in
Florida, and the triumph of the governor
will be regarded as an additional evidence
of his sagacity and will tend to in crease his
popularity.

Superstitious people will now have a
phenomenal coincidence associated with the
denouement Of a somewhat romantic crime
in New York to marvel over with impress
sive awe for the next six months At the
town of Troy one Charles Fietz makes
strange disclosures tending to prove that
his wife was recently engaged in an
attempt to poison him for $4,000 life
insurance which she had surrepti>
tiously placed upon his life and to
be free to elope with a milkman Of
an adjoining town. But while Fietz was
expiring by slow degrees she had a sudden
attack of typhoid fever from which she
died two weeks ago. Now the whole story
comes out through letters which Mrs. Fietz
had received from a Mrs. H. Monkeeth, ~
of New York city, with whom she was
negotiating for the poison. Some Of it had
already been supplied. Since her death
Fietz has been gradually recovering. This
turn of affairs has the effect of sustaining
the theory of slow poison. Quick retribu-
ton and all the elements Of the finest ideal of
poetic justice that ever appeared In the most
hysterical novel are found here by the i'm
aginative mind. Therefore the morbidly
superstitious and romantic may make the
most of it.
