A Big Southern Canal Scheme.

report GENES tron, Atlanta, Ge.,
that company in which New York peo-
pie arc principally interested is being
formed in the metropolis to construct a
series OF canals to connect the navigable
waterways in Georgia and Alabama. 1t
is argued that by cutting $50 miles of
canal in the States mentioned that boat
transportation can be established on the
Alabama, Coosa. Chattahoochee, Alta
maha and Savannah, affording water
communication between Atlanta, Mont
gomery, Birmingham, Savannah, Mobile
and Selma, Ala. One of the projectors
thence south to Birmingham, ahr sUtnn'
east to the Coosa river, ana down that
stream to Montgomery, Selma and Mo-
bile. Another section is planned to cx-
tend from Montgomery cast to .Colum-
bus, Ga, aud north on the Chattahoo-
chcc 20 Atlanta. The plan also includes
n waterway from Columbus to the Oc-
mulgcc river, down this to to the Alta
maha and via that river to Brunswick,
thence east to Savannah.
1t is estimated that the canals can he
cut ut IN average expense of $4,000 per
mla, owing to the swamry region
through which they would pass. The
Hca is to build steel barges with stern
Wheel for use on the system, although
h: idea of electric propulsion by means
of the trolley system has been thought
Of. The correspondent further writes
hat if tn! vessels are built boat-build-
ing plant is to be erected for turning

yard with Simpson dry-dock at Mo-
bile. The company, is is said, is tc

TOBACCO MEN COMFORTABLE.
They Think the Tobacco Tax not
Likely to be Raised.


WAsHINGToN, D. CA committee
from Winston, N. c., representing
the tobacco interests have visitcd
the Secretary of the Treasury and the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue. They
have also had hearing before the ways
and means committee. AS n result of the
various interview they say they are san
guine that the tax on ma ufactured to-
bacco will not be increased, and that the
provision Of the Mckinley law as to leaf
tobacco will not be re enacted. The
Secretary has made no recommendation
of the kind and both he and the Commits
sioner are opposed TO troubling tobacco.
These gentlemen understand that the
committee is not likely to increase the
tax of six cents on the pound, but they
have sub committee to look after
things If it is proposed to disturb the
situation.
A distinguished member of the ways
and means COMMITTEES said that the in
the committee has some backbone, but it
is conservative and it's action will be
conservative"

Silver for other purposes than coin
has q very extended use. The uses for
1t in tableware are we'll known, and
in all other of the industrial arts. 1t
is also used in dentistry, photography
and on mirrors. 1t is the foundation
of indelible inks, is found in surgery
and forms nitrate in medicine. In
mineral water machines it forms the
interior of condensers and the lining
of the block tin pipe. 1t is used in

That the public domain still offers
opportunities for home seekers is
shown, thinks the Washington Star, in
part by the figures which are found in
the annual report of the commissioner
of the general land Office, recently
made public. 1t is stated that during
the year which closed on the 31st of
July last nearly $4,000, 900 acres of
the public lands passed into the pos
session of settlers and citizens. Only
O little over /, 900, 900 acres were sold
for cash. and as under the present land
laws the public land is open mainly to
homestead settlers it is evident that
the era of tho settler has not yot passed.
-In-spite-of the heavy drafts which hnve
been made in recent years the public
domain still has respectable proper
tions, and while good deal OF the
land is not considered valuable, still
there is surprising acreage available
for settlement under the land laws
These facts show that as a Nation we
have not yet outerown our heritage.
