TALK ABOUT RATES.
A Shorter Route to Jacksonville
Makes no Difference in the Fare.

A Shorter Route to Jacksonville
Makes no Difference in the Fare.
The matter of the passenger rate to
Jacksonville since the completion of the
new line of the Florida Central and
Peninsular has created no little com
ment among railroad and travelling men.
The question they are all asking is, why
person should be required TO pay 1918
to ride l8S miles, when the same fair was
charged when the distance was l72 miles,
The shortening of the distance between
Savannah and Jacksonville has brought
about no change whatever in the rate,
although the rate allowed in Georgia is
only three cents a mile. The Florida
Central and Peninsular, however, makes
up the difference by charging tolls on the
drawbridges, which it has been required
10 construct.
One road tried this in Georgia some
years ago, and it is said that within one
years time the company made double the
cost of the construction Of the bridge.
Travellers between Savannah and Jack
sonville may console themselves with the
hope that the new line may be as success
full within the next year, and the rate
may be lowered.
The Florida Central and Peninsular,
however, is giving good service, and has
been remarkably free from accidents
and delays for new road No doubt
passengers had as lief pay the same fare
and ride shorter distance in less time.

She Fell Over Water Pipe and Is
Suing the City for Damages.
Mrs. Lefty Robeen, who lives on Oak
street, in the southern part of the city,
entered suit in the city court yesterday
against the mayor and aldermen of Sa-
vannah for s., 900.
Her petition states she is keeping
grocery store on Oak street, and that one
afternoon last March she left it about z
o'clock in the evening to attend to some
business affairs. AS she was walking down
Gwinnett street she stumbled and fell
over water pipe, which, she states, pro-
trudes three or four inches above the
sidewalk, and which she was unable to
see on account of the darkness She
states that she received injuries from the
fall which confined her to her room for
some time and necessitated the calling OF
physician. She also claims that she lost
much from her business on account of her
inability to look out for it. She asks
both actual and punitive damages, and is
represented by Judge ID, A, O'Byrne.
Yesterday was return day in city court
for the February term, and a good many
suits on notes, drafts and accounts were
filed.

FERTILIzERs on zee MovE.
Manufacturers Sending Out Large
Shipments Now.

Manufacturers Sending Out Large
Shipments Now.
This is the busy season with the fertil-
izer manufacturers. The shipping season
is well under way. The railroads are car
rying heavy freights of fertilizer. The
manufacturers are as busy as bees attend
ing to orders and arranging for ship
ments.
The months of January. February and
March compose the shipping season with
the fertilizer manufacturers, and 80 per
cent OF the output of the year is shipped
during those months. On account of the
general depression Of business and the
scarcity OF money in the country, the
season began later this year than usual,
and the shipments are just now beginning
TO get under good headway.
From the reports of travelling statesmen
and railroad men it does not appear that
the consumption of fertilizers this year
viii equal the average of the last several
years.
There is very little money in the coun-
try, and the tendency of the farmers
generally is to economic as
fertilizer manufacturers and dealers is
that the consumption this year will about
equal that of last year, which was also
somewhat below the average. The con-
dttions are said to be very much the same
as existed last year both as to output and
demand. The prices also are about the
same.
The opinion of several leading manu-
facturers, who were seen. yesterday, was
that the demand is fully sufficient to con-
sumo all of the supply in sight. On ac-
count OF the severe money stringency
last summer many of the smaller facto
ries in this section shut down for time,
and IN consequence the supply Of manu-
featured goods on hand is not as large as
usual at this season.
1t is even predicted that shortage will
occur at some points. The factories at
Savannah, Charleston, Port Royal and
Atlanta are turning out large supplies
now, and will probably be able to meet
the demand 10 their respective territories.
A prominent manufacturer who was
seen yesterday made the following brief
statement of the conditions of the trade:
Fertilizer shipments this year are
lighter than those of last year. The
southern output this season will be prob
ably about the same as last year, although
1t has been curtailed to a certain extent
IN South Carolina and in other places by
lack of money during the summer The
demand for fertilizers is good this season,
and If we have better prices for cotton,
will stimulate production to such an ex-
tent that about the same quantity of
goods will be produced
Farmers are buying about the same
quantity that they did last year, and if
cotton advances, will wish to buy more
heavily, which may cause an advance of
price in fertilizers later in the season, as
factories will be unable to supply the de-
mand in that event. Railroad facilities
are good, and shipments move forward
promptly

SETTLEMENT OF CASES.
The Ignorant Attempt to Smooth Mat
tiers Over in Violation of the Law.


ters over in Violation of the Law.
The courts are frequently worried by
the attempt of parties, which is some
times successful, to effect a settlement Of
a case of assault, which often amounts to
a felony. In most Of the cases the parties
are negroes and their ignorance Of the
law may yet get some Of them into trouble.
The case Of James Miller and Henry
jackson, which was reported last week, is
an instance in point. Jackson shot Miller,
and TO all indications the offense was one
of assault with intent TO murder. Miller,
however, agreed to settle the case and not
appear to prosecute jackson, If the latter
would pay him $780, This agreement
was made shortly before Jackson's arrest.
Miller was perhaps, unaware of the
fact that he was guilty of felony in
agreeing TO settle the case. The ohense
is known as compromising a felony, and;is
punishable by from one TO five years in
the penitentiary. This, however, is only
one instance out Of many. Solicitor Cen
eral Fraser has some such trouble as this
to deal with at every session of the
criminal court. He says that one negro
will assault another where a case of at
tempted murder could easily be made
out, but when the case is called in court
the supposed prosecutor becomes prac-
biGdllN q NltntSS lOE biit utltuudulf anu
smOOthes matters over so nicely that there
is no possibility Of getting verdict of
guilty.
The probability is that the prosecutor
and the defendant come TO some terms of
agreement, or reach some settlement, by
which, when the case is called, there is
no prosecution to amount TO anything.
The cases are of frequent occurrence, es-
pecially in minor cases of assault. The
courts often allow a legal settlement of
these cases when requested and urged by
the prosecutor, because in cases of this
kind ii can be seen at a glance that any
prosecution on the part of the state would
only consume the time of the court, and
would be worse than useless. Other cases
go TO trial where there is only a shadow
of chance for conviction, and in the ma
jority of cases, where assault with intent
to murder is charged, little more than
case of assault and battery is made out.

CITY BREVITIES.

A motion for new trial in the case of
Carhart VS.. the Merchants National
BanK, will be argued before Judge Mac
Donell.
Capt. Peck the famous negro vagrant,
who was arrested early yesterday morn
ing at the Market broke the call box by
striking it with his head while the police
were calling the patrol wagon. They had
hard fight to get him to the barracks,
and when sent over to the jail on charge
OF vagrancy he was so violent that he had
to be confined in dungeon.
Joseph Andesey's grocery store at An
derson and Conyers streets was broken
iuto early yesterday morning and an at
tempt was made to rob the money drawer,
which contained about $50. The robbers
were frightened off before getting what
they were after. They secured an en-
trance to the place by breaking open a
window blind and prying up the window
with an axe.

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT.
The Clineh County Outrage May be
Taken Up by Judge Speer.

The outrage committed last week in
Clinch county, an account of which was
given in the MORNING News, may be
taken up in the United States district
court. At least it is understood that an
attempt will be made to have it brought
within Judge Speer's jurisdiction.
The land on which the shooting of the
negroes took place is owned at present by
an Alabamian, and it may be that he will
attempt to prosecute the would-be assas-
sins there. 1t is understood that the par
ties who did the shooting are all known
to those who are interested and that ar
rests will be made in due time. The case
is similar one to the Hall case, from
Dodge county, the circumstances of which
are familiar, and in which Judge Speer
sent the defendant to the penitentiary for
a long term for employing others for the
purpose of assassina ton.
