MR.. HILL AND FAIRHAV VEN

President Hill, of the Great North
ern, is here and many people will
doubtless scan the columns of the HER
AID this morning in the hope that
some member Of its staff has developed
sufficien persuasive powers to induce
the great western wizard of the rail-
road world to outline the plans of his
company in detail for the benefit of the
HERALD's readers. They will be dis
appointed and will kick great kicks
against newspapers in general and the
HERALD in particular, and with an
appearance of profundity worthy of a
better cause will intimate that they
could do a whole lot better themselves.
Perhaps they could but the chances
are ten to one that they would score no
greater triumph than have the various
reporters to whom Mr. Hill has
already talked. 1t is extremely I'M
reasonable to expect that the plans of
the Great Northern will be unfolded
long in advance of the company's read
iness to execute them. So far as this
paper is concerned its publishers desire
it to be distinctly understood that they
propose to run it as a newspaper, and
not suffer it to be used as an organ for
the furtherance Of any schemes mimi
cal TO the greatest and best interests of
the city and its people. To that end
they will do their best to obtain the
news and they will publish it as they
get 1t. They have no sympathy with
chronic croakers nor with those tiInor-
GUS citizens who are always waiting for
Others to plan and execute enterprises
for them to profit by. We have good
many of that kind of people here and
they are not the least of the loads
which men of pluck and enterprise are
obliged to carry. But let us not digress.
-
Many expressed the opinion yester.
day that Mr.. Hill was not correctly re-
ported by the Seattle papers-that he
uld not make certain statements at
tributed to him in reference to the
Skagit pass. These persons will note
that the statements referred to are veri-
fed by the HERALD this morning, and
those of our people who have been fool
ish enough to pin their faith in the ftl-
ture of Fairhaven to the choice. of the
Skagit route by the Great Northern
may as well consider the pin knocked
out. Their faith is but as a grain of
mustard seed and it matters little that
it has failed to root. Those who
are wise will continue to pur-
sue the even tenor of their way, doing
what they can to advance their per-

An Associated Press dispatch of the
18th instant from San Francisco reports
the death of the venerable Judge
Lorenzo Sawyer, of the United States
circuit court, one of the ablest jurists
who has ever presided in the courts of
the Pacific coast. Many of the HER
AIDS readers will remember that he
was one of distinguished party of
ladies and gentlemen who visited this
city by special train in April last, by
invitation of Mr.. Hunt, proprietor of
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and a
few weeks later Judge Beatty, of
Idaho, an intimate personal friend of
number of our leading citizens, spent
day or two in the city while enroute
to take Judge Sawyer's place on the
bench.

The contract for the extension of
Donovan avenue is soon to be let and
there is some talk to the effect that the
council will invite bids from Seattle
and Tacoma contractors. Thus far the
city has paid dearly for its experience
with outsiders in such matters, and it
seems to the HERALD that preference
should be given to reputable and re-
sponsible contractors whose homes and
interests are here, whose zeal in every
enterprise conducive to the welfare of
the city has been clearly proven, and
whose reputation is a guarantee of
honest work and full and fair settle
ments, without danger of legal inter-
vention or labor disturbances arising
from abuse of workingmen. All these
things should be taken into considera-
ton and other things being equal, or
nearly so, home contractors should be
preferred.

There are too M any among us who
have been indulging in more frill than
shirt. They seem to lack either the
will or the inclination to take hold of
things by the right handle. 1t would
be well if they would initiate the ex-
ample of the men they are most dis
posed to censure, and work more and
talk less. Like Mr.. Larrabee, Mr..
Hill is an adebt in the art of listening.
Judioious reticence is one of the great
est lessons of life and he has learned it
well. In a plain, practical and bust
ness like way he talks of Fairhaven
and earnestly expresses the opinion
that it will be great and prosperous
city. In the opinion of the HERALD
there is not in all the West today a
more inviting field for men of means
and enterprise. Let us bid the active
come and heed not the movements OF
others. We have only to work with q
will and be steadfast and patient and
in the grand sweep of things our time
will come.

sonal interests and promote the general
welfare of the most promising city of
its age and size in the United States to-
day. If, in our Incompatible location
in the vast and varied resources with
which nature has so richly endowed
the great region directly tributary to
to this grand harbor; in our unequalled
facilities for transcontinental traffic
and our commanding situation with
reference to the commerce of the Orient,
there is not sufficient to absolutely in
sure the up-building of a great and
pros porous city on the shores of this
matchless bay, then the selection of
the Skagit pass could profit us but
little. Mr.. Hill says rightly that it
matters not "what crack through the
mountains" is chosen, only in so far as
it affects the expeditions and economi-
cal operation of the road.
1t is noticeable that no reporter has
succeeded in eliciting from Mr.. Hill
any statement more explicit than that
puget sound will be the terminus" of
the Great Northern road. By that it
is evident that it is the intention of the
company to give to all Sound points,
which are terminal by reason of their
location, equal advantages in rates and
service. The question then arises,
what place will be the headquarters of
the operating department, where will
the construction and repair shops be
located, and where will the road re-
ceive and discharge its ocean freight?
And in nothing that Mr.. Hill has yet
said or done is there anything to indi-
cate that Fairhaven will not receive
her full share of the benefits to come
from these establishments.

MAID OR MATRoN, WHICH,

Georgia's Best Lady at the Worlds
Fair Opening Cerem onies.
The selection Of lady to represent Geor =
gia in the opening ceremonies of the worlds
fair is exciting good deal of interest
In the nomination the national COM
missioners have a delicate task to per-
form. The appointment is made by the
general commission upon the recommended
ton Of Col. Charlton q. Way and Gen.
Lafayette McLaws, commissioners from
Georgia. Their nomination will without
doubt be confirmed, so that upon their
choice depends the appointment.
Maid or matron, which shall IL be ~
seems to be the uppermost question.
Georgia beng one Of the original
thirteen colonies, its history closely
interviewer with that of the
country, and its people descended from
long lines of patriotic stock, its representa-
ton, it is claimed, should he Georgian on
both sides of her house, with
out a strain Of any other state,
and from colonial and revolutionary sires. In
tine selection of a lady with these qualif1cs
lions Savannah offers field for appoint
ment from which can be selected some of
the most beautiful young women in the
state. The choice seems to be for a young
woman combining beauty and historic an
cestry.
The honor Of the appointment is
being claimed by Middle and North Georgia
as their right In the distribution Of honors
1t has been claimed that Savannah already
has its share. As matter Of fact, South
ern Georgia is not represented in
the fair to the extent that other parts
of the state are. Col Way, it is
true, is q Savannahian, but his alter.
nste, Mr.. Clark, is from Augusta. Gen.
McLaw's alternate, Gen. Longstreet, is from

Mrs. c. H. olmstead is a
Savannahian by residence only, being
a Milledgeville lady. Her alternate Is a
Savannah lady, Mrs. G. w. Lamar. Mrs.
w. H. FELTON,. the other lady manager is
from Barlow county, and her alternate is
an Augusta lady. Gen. McLaws and Mrs.
Olmstead, while Savannahians by residence
aud feeling, are both from Middle Georgia.
The only Savannahians. strictly speaking,
are Mrs. Lamar and Col. Way, out of 8.
Both of the alternates of the national com.
missioners are from Middle Go rgia, Gen.

Business Men to Meet at the De Soto
Wednesday Night.
THE MORNING NEWS is requested by
Chairman Stoneto give notice that Wednes,
day night, Dec. % and the banquet room
of the De Soto are appointed as the time
and place of the meeting of citizens to con-
slider measures for advertising Savannah.
This meeting means the probable organic
ing OF bureau of advertising.
DIR. Stone was elected temporary chair
man at the preliminary meeting last Mon
day night and wal instructed to issue
further call. He believes there has not been
more worthy movement started in the in
terest Of Savannah ia a long time. A few
thousand dollars spent in this way to en-
tighten the mind of the public, particularly
at great distances, as to what Savannah
really is, will, he believes, result in wonder
ful benefit to the city, more than would be
brought by the expenditure of many times
the amount in almost any other direction.
He thinks the expenditure should not be a
matter to care for, when the rich results are
considered. He can see how the effect Of
advertising, If done properly, would not die
out in more than a generation.
1t is not because of any objection to Sa-
vannah that her population does not increase
rapidly from distant sources, but because
buOSO pSOple 10 HOJ kllOW 6DOuG bDo Guy.
The know that Savannah exists perhaps;
but the city has never been particularly
called to their attention, and they go to
other cities to which their attention has
been called. This is easy to see. But 1t is
also an easy matter to put Savannah in
proper light to these people, who are
in the north, east and west. by the
expenditure of little money. The news
papers and the printing press are powerful
agents. Every citizen of Savannah, DR..
Stone thinks, should be interested in raising
sufficient sum of money to begin this work.
Ask every citizen to come to the meeting
with his ideas and his capital. Every cor
poration which derives any of it's support
from Savannah, and which would be bene-
fcially affected by the prosperity of the
city, should have representative at this
| meeting and should come forward to aid In
this important movement, which is, this
time in the most advanced stage that 1t
has ever reached. 1t should now be pushed
to sure conclusion by all parties without
any more delay.
'The land companies" said DR.. Stone,
''have simply taken the initiative in this
matter by their recent meeting, as they
knew that this important part would have
to fall somewhere. The land companies
have an interest in seeing the city grow,
but so have all parties who depend upon Sa-
vannah for a support-the merchants, the
banks, the railroads and all. The land
companies generally are willing 10 contribute

Supt. w. II. Baker has returned from
Athens. where he attended the meeting Of

NAL School. of which he is a member. es-
tablishsd by the last general asssmblage.
Supt Baker is very much interested
in the establishment of the
reporter be gave a full account of the meet
ing Of the commission and the
outlook for the normal school.
The members Of the commission present
were State School Commissioner Bradwell,
Supt. Baker and Chancellor Boggs OF the
state university. There are two other men,
bsrs Of the commission, DR.. A. J. Battle of
Rome and Supt. Lawton B. Evans of the
public schools OF Augusta. DR.. Battle sent
letter explaining his absence on account
OF sickness. No excuse was received for the
sbsenos Of Mr., Evans.
The commission held two meetings At the
first there was present the entire faculty
OK the University of Georgia. The gentle
men generously proffered their services in
tae interest of the normal school. The Rock
College, which it is proposed to use for the
normal school, is the gift Of the trustees Of
the university for that purpose, together
with the Gilmer fund.- the interest upon
which is 81, 900 annually.
In view Of the small amount of money at
the disposal of the commission it was de-
cided that 10 would be better to first put
the building in good condition, before
determining VIII at policy should be pursued
in the matter of instruction. On Friday
the members Of the commission present
visited the Rock College, and after carefully
examining the building decided that ID
would be advisable to use the money at their
disposal In placing the building in proper
condition before selecting instructors for
the institution.
After that has been done the commission
will be again assembled, when instructors
will be selected.
The commission has the promise from the
agents Of the Peabody fund that assistance
will be granted by them whenever there is
an assurance that the school will be put into
practical operation.
The commission hopes aud believes"
said Supt Baker, that before the assem-
bling Of the next general assembly the con-
dition Of things will be such that
the commission will be able to
report to the legislature the neces-
slty or permanent appropri alton
for the support of the normal school. The
faculty of tne University OF Georgia gener-
ously proffered their services to any extent
necessary to make the normal college a sue
cess The only means now at the disposal
Of the commission is the Gilmer fund, gen
erously placed at their disposal by the truss
tees Of the university. This pays a dividend
OF $1,000 annually in semi-annual INSTALL
ments of $500 each. One thousand dollars
will be available on Jan. l. The commission
decided to use this money in putting the

THE GRIP TAKING HOLD.
It Starts IN Earlier Than It Did Las {
Year.

Year.
The grip has taken hold Of Savannah
again. Last year it was nearly sDring
before is made its appearance, ard il still
had time before summer to get in a great
deal OF work. Its early appearance this
season Is not encouraging. II is some con-
ISOLATION TO know, however. that the physi-
clans regard it as Of milder form than ii has
been heretofore, at least SO far as 1t has
progressed.
Toe grip is raging all over the country
and in Europe as well, and it was hardly
hoped that Savannah would escape it. The
only hope Is that the climate will modify
its effects TO such a degree that IL will be
less severe and attended with less fatality
than in more rigorous olimes.
Several physicians Of large practice were
spoken to yesterday about the progress Of
the grip. They admitted they bad a hum
Der OF cases and that the disease is gener-
orally reported throughout the city. They

for alarm. They say that people generally
are too much inclined to exaggerate the
prevalence Of the grip. Out of the 200 or
800 cases, so far only one death has been re-
ported, which shows the disease to be Of
mild form.
The average cases last only O few days,
sometimes a week. attended with fever and
pains in the head and limbs. The patient
is usually out at the end of that time II
is noticed that the stomach trouble is more
frequently complained Of in connection
with the grip than last year.
One physician said the majority Of cases
which he had been called upon TO attend
were children suffering from cold la the
head and throat. such as he would class
under the head OF catarrhal fever. The
trsuble seldom lasted over few days. The
only severe cases he has had, he said, were
persons who had come into the city within
the last two or three weeks, and who
seemed TO have brought the disease in their
systems. This would seem to indicate that
it is infectious, and that it can be carried
by persons from one place to another.
The fatal termination of the disease, he
said, were almost invariably caused 10y the
grip turning into bronchial pneumonia.
This stage is very dangerous, but not neces-
sarily fatal, as with proper treatment and
careful nursing the patient may be brought
around all right.
1t view of the fact Of its early appearance
and the long time in which ID has to run, it
would be well for every body TO be on their
guard against it. Take every precautlon
and remember that an ounce Of prevention
is worth pound of cure.

was established thirty~five years ago, has en-
joyed the confidence of the people, and has
commanded a large and growing trade.
After the death of Mr.. A. J. Miller and the

business might not continue. This
was great mistake. This old
posed of its damaged goods and as rapidly
replenished its stock-so much 80, that il
was enabled to offer to the holiday trade a
line OF new, fresh aud bright goods. The
business will positively be continued at the
old stand. New shipments of goods are
being made every day. Mr.. c. P. Miller is
now president, and Mr.. jeff D. Miller
manager Of the A. ]. Miller Co., and the
business is in good and competent hands,
with plenty of capital to run It, and ample
facilities to carry it on ia all its branches.
Their stock OF furniture, carpets aud house

their trade can be found at the store Of the
