WHERE THE OPPOSITION LIES.

Those Who Want to Withdraw the
Augusta and Savannah From the
Central.
A statement has been sent out from
Augusta to the effect that an Augusta
stockholder of the Augusta and Savan-
nah railroad and q Savannah railroad
have been in correspondence with regard
to what move il was proper for the stock
holders Of the road to take now since it
has been made apparent that the road
has not earned its rental which was due
Dec. l, and which under The courts order
cannot be paid until il has been earned.
Inquiry was made yesterday TO ascer-
tain If possible whether any of the Sa-
vannah stockholders had expressed a de-
sire that the road be now remove ed from
the hands of the Central, or whether they
thought any action should be taken in
regard to the matter.
Il don't think there is one Of the
stockholders in Savannah said one of
them yesterday, who wants to go back
on the action of the last meeting held here
l think l have the Augusta stockholder
who wants TO stir matters up pretty we'll
spotted. The fact is, however. that al
most, if not quite, a ma jOrity of the stock
Of the road is held III savannah, and I
think, without exception, THAT all the Sa-
vannah stockholders are strongly in favor
of having the road remain right where
it is and having it operated by the Cen
trial. In fact some of them were in favor
of taking no action at all at the last meet
ing and wantel to let matters stand just
as they We're.
II don't think there is anybody who
knows just exactly how that order of
Justice Jackson's with regard to the
leased lines was intended to operate.
Looked at from one point of view it GER
tainly seems to annul the charters of the
leased lines, as they cannot hope to get
any more rental from the Central than
they actually earn. Thetreceiver's state
ment to the court was that some of these
lines were burden to the system while
the roads held that the receiver did not
make from them as much as be ought.
Justice jackson then rendered them back
to the stockholders giving them the OPP
ton of taking them or leaving them with
the Central and receiving rental only up
to the amount that they earned. Now
that the stockholders have elected under
this order to remain with the Central
don't see how they could Withdraw in the
next breath because matters have taken
this turn, for in electing they, of course,
| made themselves subject to the prOvis-
ions of the order.
ut is the Augusta and the Athens
stockholders, as / understand it, who
want to withdraw the properly from the
Central What their complaint is, don't
know, but it is evident 10 me that they
would lose by such action even if they
could take it now, as the road would be
practically without connections and en-
| tirely bottled up. There has been no
call Tor a meeting as yet, but | suppose an
attempt will be made TO stir the matter
up before long"

OUR WHOLESALE TRADE.
Savannah's Comm ercial Advantage
offered to the Country Merchants.

Savannah's Comm ercial Advantages
offered to the Country Merchants.
The wholesale trade of Savannah is an
important factor in the business of the
city, 1t has grown with the growth of
Savannah, and our merchants have sought
to build up this branch of trade, and have
carried jobbiug lots sufficient 10 meet the
demands through the country, and their
travelling represen tatives are always
among the trade and are ready at all
times to meet the closest competition
from all quarters. The trade is extended
throughout the states of Georgia, Florida
and South Carolina, and no city in the
country can offer better inducements TO
the country merchants than Savannah,
the leading city of the southeast.
The railroad facilities of Savannah are
unequaled, while the deep water of our
river and harbor adds to the great COM
mercial advantages of our city, thus en-
aiding our merchants to secure low rates
of freight from all parts of the world, and
ship to country merchants over our vari-
Gus lines at rates below any other point.
In wholesale dealers directory, pub
hshed in this issue, will be found the adj
refreshments of several of our leading
houses who supply the trade. Among
them are well-known establishments, and
visitors who come to the city on the mer-
chants excursions are invited and recon-
mended to call upon them and see the
advantages which they have to offer to
the trade.
The following prominent wholesale
merchants are represented in the direc-
tory:
Fawcett Bros, grocers and dealers in
hay, grain and provisions, corner Bay
and Jefferson streets.
A. Ehrlich & Bro, groceries, provi-
sions, etc, 1913 and l55 Bay street.
MorehOuse Manufacturing Company.
manufacturers of Success Baking Pow
der, Bay and West Broad streets.
Fretwell & Nichols, stationers and
printers, Bay and Bull streets.
Palmer Hardware Company, largest
hardware house in the south, corner Bay
and jefferson.

TO OPEN SCHOOL EARLIER.
Pupils Must Be in Their Places at
S:45 O'clock After Jan. I.

The Present School Hours Not Long
Enough to do the Work Required by
the Curriculum-The Board of Edu-
cation Adds a New Department Of
Instruction - The Pooler School
House.
The board Of education made another
stride last night in the direction of prac-
tical education, by engaging Miss Mar
garet Virginia Jenkins to give lessons in
the art of expression, vocal and physical
culture in the public schools.
For the present the work will be limited
to four lessons every Friday during the
months of January, February and March,
and every alternate Friday in
Jenkins addressed the board for
thirty minutes explaining her method
Of instruction. and was listened to with
the closest attention, and fully maintained
her reputation as a teacher who has de-
served the success which she mas attained.
The meeting was very full one. Pres
idenJ Mercer and Messrs. Denmark,
Blum, Meyers, Tattnau, Arson, O'Byrne.
McDonough, Saussy and Estill being
present.
Supt. Baker in his report stated that
the reports from the different schools
show them to be in good condition AL
though the numbers are constantly in
creasiug. no pupils up to the present time
have failed to be admitted. The intro
ductlOn of music and drawing into the
schools have crowded the curriculum to
such an eXtentthatitis with dificultythat
sufficient time can be given to the several
studies. Under the present rule, although
the gates are opened at 8:30 o'clock, the
school exercises proper begin at 9 o'clock
and close at p. m, with thirty minutes
recess. This makes session Of only ~
hours. 1t is suggested, as the gates are
opened at 80 o'clock and teachers and
pupils are in the rooms or on the grounds,
the school session might with advantage
begin at 8:45 o'clock, by which change
fifteen minutes will be added to the ses-
sion. ! recommend this change to take
effect on Jan. l, next.
On motion of Mr.. Denmark, the rec
ommendation of the superintendent as to
the change of time of opening was
adopted.
The new schoolhouse at Pooler was re-
ported to be rapidly approaching compile
ton, and that it would be ready for oc-
cupancy by Jan. l. The building is
in every respect very substantial, and the
work is being we'll done. The carpenters
are eX-Central railroad employees, who
are citizens of PoOler, and are doing the
best class of work, just to show what
good mechanics can do.
The special committee on school books
submitted the correspondence they had
had with publishers. The report was
received as information.
The application of Addie @. Arnold, late
assistant teacher in the East Broad street
colored school, was read, and it was or
dered that she be given the first vacancy
in the list of assistant teachers in the
coIored schools.

IN BEHALF OF THE POOR.
A Loan Exhibition OF Laces at St
Johns Parish Hall.

A Loan Exhibition OF Laces at st.
Johns Parish Hall.
The opportunity to examine and admire
fine laces, fancy work and embroidery is
not often offered to the general public.
The favored few only are permitted
usually to COX at the beautiful work so
often executed by deft hands in the
privacy OF the family. But such an op-
portunity will be a {orde1 Monday and
Tuesday of next week, at st. John S Parish
hall.
In order to raise money for the benefit
Of the suffering poor of the city a few
young ladies have procured a collection Of
fancy work for exhibition. The OBJ ect is
a laudable enc. The qualification of re-
fined taste by the sight Of the articles and
the suggestions of new anu beautiful pat
terms to those who have skill to duplicate
them will certainly repay a visit to the
exhibition.
While the managers have not secured
anything like the fancy work loaned by
the Astors and Vanderbilts and others TO
the New York Metropolitan Museum,
they have many pretty pieces which the
fashionable people of New York would be
proud 10 own. The enterprise is worthy
of commentator and support both for its
intrinsic worth and its purpose.
An admission lee of 10 cents will be
charged and many of the beautiful pat
terms will be offered for sale. The eNhi-
bitiou is similar in its purpose TO the re-
cent chrysanthemum show, which was so
much OF success.
