Week.
The excursion by the South Bopnd rail.
road Tuesday promises to be big
affair. Mr. Mallory, who is working up
the excursion along the road, reports that
the agents at number of the stations,
anticipate that the crowds at their sta
tions on Tuesday will be too large for
them to handle.
This matter was brought to the atten-
ton of General Passenger Agent Fleming
last night and he Immediately issued an
order permitting the agents along
the line to sell tickets for the
excursion on Monday, good for the excur-
sion train on Tuesday.
This will enable the railroad officials to
get get some idea of how many coaches
will be needed tn transport the crowd to
Savannah.
Columbia at 5 o'clock and arrives at Sa-
vannah at $50 will be used as the excur-
sion train. Tickets will be good for two
days.
The Savannah, Americas and Montgom-
cry railroad excursion, which will be run
on Tuesday, is expected to bring in a
large crowd. There has been slight
change in the rates for this excursion.
The rates from the different stations for
the round trip will be as follows
Coney, $3.50; Cordele, $40; Penia,
$3.50; Williford, $500; Seville, 1918;
Pitts, 1910; Rochelle, $500; Kramer,

"THE HoNEYMooNERs."
Pauline Hall at the Theatsr the Rest
Of the Week.


Pauline Hall will make her bow to a
Savannah audience tonight in the 'Hon-
eymooners." Miss Halls brilliant voice
and personal charms, so long the jeal-
ously guarded possession of New York,
have become in the last few seasons the
popular prize of the American play-goer
at large. She addresses the public this
season with the best production that has
ever commanded her talents
The "Honeymoonersn is the latest fruit
Of the joint genius of c. NJ S. Mcclellan,
editor of the Town Topics, the librettist,
and VIM. Furst, composer of the Isle Of
Champagne"
1t is designed to be congress of mirth,
melody and spectacle, and from the iudg-
ment and indifferences to cost exercised
by the management in securing company
costumes and effects, there is no doubt
that the aim has been reached.
Accompanying Miss Hall is Richard
Golden, a comedian of the first rank and
largest salary, and the balance of the cast
contains such artists as Miss Caroline
Hamilton, late prima donna of the
Bostonians, and others well known.
