TEMPERATURES AND FOODS.
a Bulletin From the Weather Depart
ment Dealing With That Subject.

a Bulletin From the Weather Depart
ment Dealing With That Subject.
The weather bureau division of the
United States department of agriculture
has just issued pamphlet which will be
Of interest to those who handle and deal
IN food products. 1t is on the subject
of Temperatures injurious TO food prod
ucts in storage and during transporta-
ton, and methods of protection from the
same" 1t was prepared by Mr. H. E.
Williams chief clerk of the forecast di-
vision, and is published by authority of
the Secretary of Agriculture.
The object of this bulletin is to furnish
information regarding the temperatures
that are injurious TO food products and
other perishable articles, under different
conditions and during shipment, and to
suggest methods of protecting the same
from extremes of heat and cold. This in
formation is largely compilation Of the
opinions of merchants and shippers in all
parts of the country, which were received
IN reply to a circular letter sent out by
the weather bureau, and contain much
that will prove of interest and value to the
public generally.
In the transportation of perishable
freight there are three primal objects to
be attained: l. The protection of the ship
ment from frost or excessive cold. 2. The
protection of the same from excessive
heat 3. The circulation of air through
the car, so as to carry off the gases gener-
ated by this class of freight.
The bulletin deals with the methods
Of protection of perishable products from
all such sources of danger and will be
valuable to many who are interested in
sucn industries. Observer p. H. Smyth
of the weather bureau has several copies
OF the pamphlet, and those to whom they
Will be of interest can obtain them.

RAIL AND oRossTIE.

By decree of court the Macon and Bir-
mingham railroad was ordered to be sold
on the first Tuesday in January but the
date of the sale has been postponed until
the first Tuesday in March. 1t is under
stood that the sale was postponed in order
that it may follow Immediately after the
sale of the Georgia Southern and Florida
railroad, which has been ordered sold on
the first Tuesday in March. Col. Isaac
Hardeman is the commissioner to sell the
Macon and Birmingham road. r. A. Mis-
bet, II B. Gresham and J. L. Hardeman
are the commissioners to sell the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad.
The PARROT Lumber Company an
nOunces that il will run a road from Cor
dele to Hawkinsville, building it with
first-class material and equipping it in
good stlye. The route will be via Rich
wood and will be about thirty miles in
length. 1t will be bonded for $4,000 per
mile. They require that the people of
Cordele shall place $4,000 of these bonds.
That amount has already been guaran-
teed by parties here.
Another interesting feature in connec-
ton with the Savannah Americas and
Montgomery litigation has just devel-
oped in Montgomery. A bill has been
filed in the city court there by the re-
celvers of the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany against the Savannah, Americas and
montgomery praying for an injunction re-
straining the Mercantile Trust and De-
post Company OF Baltimore and other
trustees of the first mortgage bonds of
the road foreclosing the mortgage or deed
OF trust. The petition alleges that the
Pennsylvania company has a first lien
upon the property of the road by reason
OF having furnished the rails for its con-
structon. The amount claimed by the
compliments is $4,000 The complaint
also attacks the validity of the first
mortgage bonds and attempts to show
mat they were not issued in compli-
ance with the laws of the state of Ala
oama. 1t is averred that the Pennsyl-
Nania company, in addition to furnishing
me Savannah. Americas and Montgomery
company with rails, loaned them So. 900

ties in that city.

Many Augusta people are well acquainted
with Thurston S. Burns, who weekly visits
this city in the interests of several leading
insurance companies. He has as was noted
in our issue of August End, been nominated
as Republican candidate for representative
to the Legislature from Westbrook and in
the recent issue of theWestbrook Star ap-
pears the following:
at may interest our readers to learn of q
few instances in the career of the gentleman
whom the Republicans of this city have
nominated as candidate for representa-
tive to the Legislature, and short sketch
of his life is given below:
"Thurston Samuel Burns was born in
Farmingdale. Me-, March 4, 1851. His pa
rents were in comfortable circumstances
and gave him liberal education for those
days. He attended the common schools of
the town, also Hallowell Academy and Far
mington Normal school from which he grad
uated in 1872. After graduation he taught
in mixed schools for two years and then ac
cepted a position as principal OF, the Bath
Grammar school. He was connected with
this school for five years and won an envi-
able reputation as an instructor.
Mr.. Burns came to Westbrook fifteen
years ago to assume the principalship of
our high school. He was connected with
the school for ten years, during which it
made rapid strides to the front rank of
similar institutions throughout the State.
He resigned to accept position with the
New York Life Insurance Company in this
State, which he holds today.
Mr.. Burns has always been an ardent
Republican, but never a politician. He
was superintendent of schools at Farming
ton and has served on the school board Of
this CITY,"
