With the plan of reorganization
which is now being prepared in New
York carried into effect, the proba-
bility is that before another MORN
ING NEWS trade edition makes its
appearance the Central railroad will
be restored among the great railroad
systems of the country.
The Savannah, Florida d Western
railway continues on the even tenor
of its way and remains one of the
great railroad systems of the south.
Being well managed it is prosperous.
AS feeder of Savannah its impor-
lance has been greatly increased by
the extension of the Alabama Mid
land railroad to Montgomery.
The traffic last season from the new
territory developed by this route in
southwestern Georgia and southeast
ern Alabama was greater than from
any other new territory opened up to
Savannah during the present year.
Savannah now has three routes from
Montgomery, the Alabama Midland,
the Savannah, Americas & Mont
gomery and the Central railroads.
Mr.. Plant is slowly extending his
South Florida railroad lines, closing
gaps, making closer connections and
reaching further into the new phos-
phate territory. Mr.. HI. NJ. Flagler
is extending his east Florida lines
which connect with the Plant sys-
tenn at Jacksonville. All this of
course tends to benefit Savannah.
The recent depression in the phos-
phate industry and the closing of
many of the "hard rock" mines in
the northern portion of the state has
prevented for the present the carry
ing out Of the plan of making large
foreign shipments of phosphate rock
through this port. This plan will
probably be carried into effect as soon
as there is a sufficient revival of the
phosphate business in northern Flor
ida.
The South Bound railroad has
proved an important feeder to Sa-
vannah during the past year
1t opened up fine territory hith-
erto untouched by Savannah. The
people of South Carolina were not
slow to recognize the value of the
new market for their products and
have begun to trade freely in this
direction.
The South Bound is probably in
the best condition of any new rail-
road in this section of the country
and has paid all it's own expenses
during the year. The deal by which
the South Bound passes under the
control of the Florida Central and
Peninsular railroad, while very salts
factory to the owners of the road, is a
most advantageous one to Savannah.
BY 1t Savannah secures a new and
shorter connection with Florida and
at the same time another route north
ward. The Florida Central and Pen
insular railroad proposes not only to
handle its Florida business by an indie
pendent line ofits own, but to rival the
Plant system for all northern bust
ness, both freight and passenger. 1t
has the option of several northern
connections from Columbia and will
not fail to make satisfactory one.
The engineering corps is now in the
field surveying the route between
some point on Harris road north of
Jacksonville. The corps is thoroughly
equipped, steamboats, being used to

Says the San Francisco Chrunicle:
''During the last six months there have
been many attempts made to introduce
the meal Of maize, or Indian corn, into
Europe as food, most of which, it is
understood, have been unsuccessful.
The Europeans insist on considering
cornmeal as fodder for animals instead
of as food for human beings, and this
prejudice must be removed before Amer
ican cornmeal eau find market there.
A gentleman WHO has lived in several
countries on the Continent of Europe,
suggests as one reason for the prejudice
that the Europeans know nothing Of
the distinction which exists between diff
fereut kinds of corn. They are familiar
with the coarse, rank kind which is fit
only for fodder for horses and COWS, aud
know nothing OF American sweet corn,
or of the fine meal which is ground from
the best varieties of corn produced In
this country. 1t is very likely that this
is one OF the causes which lead to the
dislike for American cornmeal. Ignor-
anceis very hard to overcome, especially
when backed by predjudice. However,
il the continental nations will come to
Chicago in 1898 they will have an oppor-

this respect. 1t is proposed to erect
