say "a a" or sc Q" or ct t." instead of
double 9" etc. Her teacher had one

The Merchants and Miners TRANSPORTER

adjoining property Of the Lamar cotton
press has been taken in and the wharf is

The Florida Railroads to Charge for
Wheels and Baby Carriages Hereafter.
The Florida railroads, and two or three
Georgia railroads running into Florida,
propose to charge express or freight rates
for baby carriages and bicycles here
after The matter was discussed at a
recent meeting of the general passenger
agents of the Florida lines. at which were
present. A. O. MacDonell of the Florida
Central and Peninsular railway, G. d.
Ackerly, Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West railway; Joseph Richardson of the
Jacksonville, st. Augustine and Indian
River railway, w. NJ. Davidson of the
savannah Florida and Western railway,
and G. A. a. Mcdonald of the Georgia
Southern and Florida railway. Most of
the general passenger agents are also
general baggage agents of their lines.
The transportation of baby car
riages and bicycles seems to have
worried the Florida baggage agents
a good deal and hereafter these
articles, instead of being car
red free. as has been the case hereto
fore, and as is the custom throughout
the entire country on many lines where
at least twenty-five bicycles and baby
carriages are carried where one is car
ried in Florida. The baggagemen have
been kicking about carrying these articles,
and the railroads now propose to charge
for them.
This action, so far as can be learned,
makes the Florida roads the only roads
In the south which charge for transport
ing bicycles and baby carriages. The
wheeimen and the heads of families, the
riages, are likely to make vigorous kick
on the tariff

a NEW TERMINAL COMPANY.
To Build a Railroad and Wharves at tbs



Hermitage.
A notice of application to the secretary
Of state for a charter for a railroad cor
poration to be known as the Savannah
Railroad and Terminal Company, has
been published It is the intention of those
who have applied for the charter to or
game the company as soon as it is in
corporated.
The purpose of the tncorporators is to
build railroad about three miles in length
from the junction of the Charleston and
Savannah, and Florida, Central and Pc
ninsular railroads to the Hermitage river
front, the direction being from northeast
to southwest The Hermitage river front
is considered an excellent terminus
for loading vessels, the depth OF water
at that point being as great as anywhere
along the Central railroad wlarves, and
the object of the company is to secure
freight from the two railroads which
its short line will connect, to be loaded
at the wharf to be constructed. 1t is be-
lieved that such company can be made
a success and the iucOrporators are going
into it in earnest.
The principal Office of the company is
to be located at the Hermitage. The
amount of the proposed capital stock is
put at $500, 0OO and the Incorporation is
to continue 100 years. Among the incor-
porators are Messrs. ]. w. McAlpin, Sr.,
A. C. McAlpin, Henry McAlpin, J. w. Nc
alpin, Jr., c. c. Schley, Pope Barrow, W,
w. Osborne, Walter p. LaRoche, and w.
H. w Schley.
The petition states that the incorpora-
tors intend to so forward in good faith,
and without delay, to secure subscriptions
to the capital stock, and to construct,
maintain and operate the railroad which
they propose to build. The enterprise is
an entirely new one, and it will be
watched with much interest.

and bandaged up in one way and another.
William Canteope was bit by Robert
