KEEP The ROUTE OPEN.
The Importance Of the Wright'S River
Channel to Trade.

The Effect of Its Closing on the Poor
People Who Live on the South Caro-
lima Islands and Bring Their Produce
to the Savannah Market an Impor-
tant Matter to Consider.
The protection of the inland route be-
tween Savannah and the South Carolina
islands is attracting wide attention. One
of the very important things in connec-
ton with the closing Of Wright's river is
the cutting of of the route Of trade for the
poorer classes Of people.
Whenever the market supply of food is
diminished or the sources cut Off, the
people will be compelled to pay enhanced
prices. Great hardshIps would also be
inflicted upon the inhabitants of these
islands, who suffered so terribly by the
storm. These people have been in the habit
of supplying the city with blackberries,
sweet potatoes, poultry, terrapin, fish and
oysters. Since a portion of Savannah's
natural oyster beds have become ex-
hausted, nearly every bushel of oysters
delivered at the wharves of Savannah
has come from South Carolina waters
Whenever the inland waterway is closed,
intercourse by small boats will cease, and
these producers will no longer be able to
offer their goods directly to the con-
sumer, for they will not be able to cross
Catalogue sound.
DIR. Oemler has been looking into the
matter TO some extent. In speaking of
the matter yesterday he said.
las Georgia farmer and as the in
spector 'of fertilizers, / am naturally de-
sirOus that all fertilizer materials may
be able to enter our state with the great
est facility, and at the lowest cost; and
as citizen, am still more anxious for
the welfare of the people, and therefore
am nstrained to add my voice in protest
against closing the inland waterwaY.n

| Suddenly Away.

John NJ Williams, Savannah's oldest
contractor and a well known citizen, dled
suddenly at his home at Jones and Whit
aker streets yesterday morning. Mr..
Williams was nearly Is years old and mad

nv. He came here in 1884 and spent about
two years here, after which he removed
TO Charleston. He returned to Savannah
in 1874, since which time he has made
this city his home.
A great mum Der of the largest business
and residence buildings Of the city Were
erected by Mr.. Williams. He built the
city market in 1872 and the police bar
racks in 1868. The Henry street school
building is the most important building
erected by Mr.. Williams in recent years.
A number of buildings on Broughton
street were erected by him. including the
Altmayer building, the building occupied
by Theus Bros, Z. A. Schwarz, Daniel
Hogan's and Jackson, Metzger q Coz
buildings.
There is probably not a street in the
city, in the older portions at least, that
does not contain some of Mr.. Williams
work. He was the contractor for the
Marshall estate, for which he erected
number of buildings.
His death was entirely unexpected lie
had been in feeble health for several
weeks, but on Monday he was on the
streets apparently in better health than
for some time past.
About o'clock yesterday morning he
awoke his wife, complaining of severe
pain in the chest. 1t was at first thought
that the pain was caused by indigestion
from which he suffered, but the pain
growing worse, DIR. Weichselbaum, who
lives near by, was sent for. Mr.. Viii
iams lived only a few minutes after DR.
Weichselbaum' arrival Heart trouble is
supposed to have been the cause OF his
death.
The deceased had few relatives, SIS
ter in Baltimore and a nephew in Connec-
ticut comprising the list. He leaves no
relatives in Savannah besides his wife
He had several children, but all have
been dead for several years.
Mr.. Williams owned some valuable
real estate in Savannah. The house in
which he died at Jones and Whitaker
streets, and the adjoining house were his
property, as were also the two houses on
Gordon street. east Of Whitaker.
The deceased had large circle OF
acquaintance, with whom he was gener-
ally popular. He was man of sterling
character, and reliable and straightfor-
ward in all his dealings.

THE DANGER NOT OVER YET
Surgeon Carter Anxious for a Heavy
Frost to Come.

savannah's Quarantine Likely to be
Maintained Until the Middle Of No
vember Anyway and Possibly Long
er-The Danger from Jesup's Refu-
gees Now Past.
Surgeon Fl. r. Carter, who has charge
Of the government quarantine service in
Georgia, spent few hours in the city
yesterday He said he happened to have
a little spare time on his hands for the
first time in several weeks, and being
near Savannah, concluded to run in and
have a chat with DR.. Drummer. He was
asked what his views were of the situa-
ton in the yellow fever districts.
4 don't like this weather."
he replied 1T is good yellow
fever weather. and the number
of cases reported from Brunswick daily
shows it. ! was in hopes that the rainy
spell would be followed by cold weather,
which would have given the fever
check The prospects now are that we
will not get a good frost until the middle
of November, and until we do get killing
frost the fever will continue. Strict
quarantine will probably have to be main
tanned for three weeks longer. The quar-
antine may be productive of considerable
Inconvenience, but it is best TO bear with
the inconvenience, under the circum-
stances"
DR.. Carter says he apprehends no fur
Their trouble from the refugees who es-
capped from Jesup. Leggett, who was
taken with the fever near Hazelhurst, is
the only case that has developed among
the refugees, and Dr. Carter is satisfied
there will be- no more cases among them.
DR.. Carter says the government Gordon
around Brunswick and Jesup is so strict
that it is next to impossible for any one
to slip through and departures from
those places without the permission OF
the government surgeons are very rare
"Whenever a suspicious case of sick
ness occurs to any Brunswick refugee"
says DR. Carter, Il get reports in quick
succession from places over 100 miles apart,
showing how closely these things are be-
ing watched. In the Leggett case l was
notified from six or eight different places,
including Savannah and Jacksonville.
From this l Judge that it is impossible
that any refugee has been taken with
yellow fever whose case has remained
hidden or unknown"
Notwithstanding the governments
strict quarantine DR.. Carer thinks it
advisable for Savannah TO maintain her
quarantine a while longer.
Quarantine is like a SITTER" he said.
'Tt stops a great deal, but some goes
through. What we don't stop, YOU might.
1t is well not TO run any risks that can be
avoided
DR.. Carter returned to Waycross last
night.

DANGER IN FAST DRIVING.
An Enforcement of the Ordinance
A gainst Necessary.

A gainst Necessary.
While the city is enforcing ordinances
against the reckless running of motor
cars there is need for an enforcement of
the ordinance against reckless driving by
dray drivers through the paved streets.
Late in the afternoon Broughton, Con-
gress, Jefferson and the other paved
streets, particularly those smoothly
paved, are regular race course for empty
drays going to and from the depots,
wharves and the drayage yards.
The drivers cross streets without slack
ing speed and with utter disregard of pc
destrians and lighter vehicles which may
be in their way. A collision occurred
yesterday afternoon at Whitaker and
Congress streets between buggy and a
dray going at full speed up Congress
The buggy was coming down Whitaker
street The driver stopped as he
turned into Congress ahead of the
dray just in time to avoid crash. The
driver of the dray team was unable to
stop or even to check his speed more than
a tritle at the rate he was going but
turned to one side to escape the buggy.
The result was a collision with another
dray going in an opposite direction, and
narrow escape from a general pile-up of
vehicles. Aside from going at a reck-
less speed the dray drivers disregard
the law of the road and go on either side
of the street that takes their fancy.
Once in while they are caught by the
police, but the warning has little effect
and they run again at full pace.
The reckless driving of drays is far
more dangerous than that of buggies and
lighter vehicles

nominations will appear in the next issue

The present division officers in Georgia
are Samuel M. Whitesides, chief consul,
and c. M. Rushing, secretary-treasurer
Both have been efficient officers. 1t is
due to their efforts that the division has
established its present influence.
Mr.. Whitesides was practically the
organizer of the division. He is an
enthusiastic wheelman and no better
man could fill the office. While he is
understood not to be candidate for re-
election and that he desires to be re-
lieved of the responsibilities of the office,
the members Of the league will hardly
permit him to retire, and he will receive
the nomination and without doubt a
unanimous reelection.
Mr.. Rushing, as secretary treasurer,
is equally interested with the chief con-
sui in the promotion of the division, and
will be unanimously supported for re-
