A DAY OF HIGH DEGREES.
Heat and Humidity Make Savannah
ianS Sigh for Relief.

other Parts of the Country a Good
Deal Worse on Than Savannah.
Last Night a Miserable Night in the
| City and at the Resorts-No Signs of
a Break in the Hot Wave and An
other One Started in the Far North
west.
While yesterday was not the hottest
day of the month no one doubts that it
will 90 on record as the most miserable
day that Savannahians have experienced
since the hot spell began. The tempera-
ture reached 95.3', four degrees
below the highest temperature Of last
Saturday. The humidity yesterday was
above the average, though, and made the
heat more intensely felt. The mean
temperature was g. above the average.
During the day there was a fair breeze
that made the weather endurable, but at
night it subsidized to a dead calm, and up
to midnight not breath Of air was stir
ring. Up in the weather bureau Office on
top of the board of trade building, where
there is always a breeze, if there is one
anywhere, there was not a suspicion Of
moving air. The instruments out on the
roof were as still as death. There was
not movement anywhere. The weather
observers sat in their shirt sleeves and
perspired under the gas lights until the
last observation for the night was taken.
SLEPT OUT OF DOORS.
Throughout the city people sat on door
steps and balconies. and even out on the
sidewalks anywhere they could get a
draft of cool air. At midnight more peo-
pie were stirring than is usual at that
hour of that night. Many slept out of
doors all night in hammocks and chairs.
AT the resorts it was no better than it
was in the city. When there was
breath of air it came from the west, and
was like draft from an oven. There is
no indication of a let up in the heat. The
weather bureau predictions at midnight
were for continued hot weather, attended
by thunder storms and squalls. That
is the most comforting feature of
the predictions. People can stand
the thunderstorms and squalls if they
win only bring relief from the heat
1t is comforting to know that Savan-
nah is not the only hot place in the cOun-
try. 1t is hot everywhere. The west is
hotter than the south. At Fort Smith,
Ark, yesterday it was 1919. At Nash
vile. Tenn, it was 1922. St. Louis re-
ported 1902. Knoxville and Memphis, 0S0,
and Augusta and Atlanta ga and 95'.
HOT ALL OVER.
The average temperature for the thir-
teen stations of the Savannah district in
Georgia and Florida was 96' Even that
was not as hot as it was in Alabama,
Texas and Tennessee. Montgomery,
Mobile, Galveston and Memphis districts
each reported an averge temperature of
So for the stations comprising these dis
tricts, covering almost the entire area of
the three states.
There were some pretty hot places in
Georgia as well as other parts of the
country. Eastman, Americas and Millen
reported 9S'; Alapaha, Cordele, Fort
Gaines, Townsville and Gainesville,
Fla, reported 95o and 94o. In South
east Georgia considerable rain fell,
though none of it came here. AT Way
cross the rainfall was something over
two inches

Syndicate, and New Company Or
ganized.
A Macon dispatch says that the Macon
and Atlantic railroad has been revived
under the name of the Atlantic Short
Line 1t is proposed to push the road
now from Macon to Savannah. Mr.
John r. Young, who was one of the pur-
chasers of the Macon and Atlantic, is

bee and w. M. Gordon, to Messrs John
Il. Young, w. l.. Strong, Henry Rice and

superior court on the property of the At
lantiC Short Line for the purpose of issu-
ing bonds TO complete the road to Savan-
nah. 1t is not known whether the At
lantic Short Line will be a separate
and independent line from Macon
to Savannah, or whether it will
unite and cooperate with the Macon.
Dublin and Savannah road, and build one
common line. The Macon, Dublin and

Macon to Dublin.

IN LIVING PICTURE COSTUME.
The Recorder Objects to That Sort of
Thing in the Streets.

a AS &soSOA0GI ODJCbbb W 4nhL SOIL OF
Thing in the Streets.
Dorothy Brice, one of the gayest of the
gay residents of the eastern section of the
city, was fined s. by the recorder yester-
day morning for taking in South Broad
street in living picture costume the night
before. Dorothy's costume was of the
kind which the visitors to Tybee ex-
pected to see in the living picture exhibit
tion, but are disappointed. She appeared
at the barracks in her Eden-like array
and her clothes were brought down to her
from Bessie Stanford's house at South
Broad and Price streets, where she had
been a resident.
Bessie was so much put out with Doro-
thy's conduct, however, that she fired
her out of the house. In revenge Doro-
thy put her on the docket for selling
wine without license. When Policeman
York attempted TO arrest Dorothy she
ran into the Stafford woman's house.
The policeman pursued her to her room.
where he found a young man who OBJ
Iected TO the woman's arrest. As a re-
suit he was arrested also and was fined
50 by the recorder yesterday morning for
interfering with the officer

COTTON IN SUGAR SACKS.
The Effect of the High Price of Jute
Bagging.


Since the manufacturers of lutte baggiuR
advanced the price, holding contracts
enough to keep them busy in supplying
the demand for the coming crop, other
parties have attempted to introduce sugar
sacks as substitute for covering
cotton.
Samples of the sugar sack bagging have
been sent to factors throughout the coun-
try, but it does not meet with
general approval. There are many
objections to this kind of bagging.
In the first place, factor said yesterday,
it is closely woven, and will absorb moist
ure quicker than the ordinary lutte bag
ging, and besides it is undesirable on ac-
count of the shape in which it is offered
to the trade. There are three bags, care
lessly sewed together, in each piece,
which is intended for the covering of
bale. The piece is too small to cover a
bale of cotton, and two of them would be
too much for one bale, therefore causing
waste of material.
The manufacturers of cotton goods in
this country have made protest against
the use of sugar sacks for covering cot
ton, and have issued a circular stating
that as the sugar tax is closer woven
than the ordinary iute bagging it takes
water quicker, absOrbs more retains il
ton Immediately next the covering much
more than the jute bagging., They an
nOunce that any loss to the mills from
such coverings will cause them to reject
the cotton covered in sugar sacks.
From the stand taken against the sub
stitute to jute bagging, it appears that
the manufacturers of regular goods who
are now supplying the cotton planters,
will continue to hold monopoly in the
trade throughout the season
mo changes in the tariff can affect the
| position of the American manufacturer
at present" said factor yesterday, las
IL is too late in the season for the English
manufacturers to attempt TO supply the
southern demands for bagging Next
! season will, perhaps, show
| change, for, with the duty
taken off. we will see the
English mills changing their looms to
make the desirable style of bagging for
upland cotton, and then the American
manufacturers will be compelled to fall
into line and furnish their bagging at a
price that will terrify the trust"

UNDER A NEW PLAN.

A Rumor That the Drexel, Morgan &
Co.'s Scheme Has Been Abandoned.
A rumor was in circulation yesterday
that the Drexel, Morgan & Co. S plan Of
reorganization of the Central railroad and
its leased lines had been abandoned, and
that Senator Brice and Gen. Thomas
have formed a syndicate to buy ont the
controlling interest in the underlying
securities, and reorgauize the Central on
ITS old basis, making Savannah the head
quarters OF the company. The plan. Of
course, embraces the Ocean Steamship
Company. The new organization will be
independent Of the Southern Railway
Company, and Gen. Thomas will be its
president.

CHEAP FARES TO TYBEE.
The Central Announces a Reduction
of 25 Cents on the Round Trim.

The Central Announces a Reduction
of 25 Cents on the Round Trip.
The management of the Central rail
road announces reduction in the fare to
Tybee to 25 cents for the round trip. The
reduction is presumably made in view Of
the season drawing to a close 1t will
now be seen whether lower rate of fare
has anything to do with the travel over
the road. OF course at nearly the close
of the season the travel under no circum-
stances Is as great as at the beginning Of
the season, when many people who have
now gone elsewhere were anxious to 90 TO
Tybee, and formed a large part of the
patronage of the road. The cheap fare
from now on will give an opportunity to
those who wish TO spend a day or an
afternoon or evening on the salts TO do so
at half the price they paid earlier in the
season.

likely TO bring out some fine legal points
as to the responsibility Of employers for
