GETTING READY TO MOVE.
The Next Two Weeks Busy Ones With
House Renters.

House Renters.
The next two weeks will be busy weeks
with the landlords and house renting
agents. Oct is moving day in Savan-
nah, and people who change their lares
and penates then are already making
their preparations. A good many, in fact
a majority, of house renters know two or
three months ahead what they are going
to do, but there is a large class, as we'll
that never knows more than week or
two in advance where they will lay their
heads. 1t is this class that will be the
busiest from now until moving day.
A few landlords make Nov. l the be-
ginning of the renting season, but large
ma ority of people shift their places of
abode in October
There are good many changes this
year, renting agents say, and the demand
is for cheap houses. People who have
been paying S35 and $40 a month rent are
looking for houses for $50 and $50 The de-
mand is for houses renting from $25 to S35
A number of landlords have lowered their
rents 10 meet the demands of the people
Landlords who are building houses to
rent now find II more profitable to build
houses of this class than those that for
merly brought 50 and $40 more month.
AT the same time there is demand for
better houses. The box house that a few
years ago answered the purpose of the
average tenant is out of date now. The
cottage with all the conveniences is the
house of the time.
Builders are busy at this season of the
year remodeling and improving houses
and getting them in shape for occupancy.
There has been more remodeling this year
than has ever been known in Savannah.
The tendency TO undermining is a big
thing for the contractors in its way.

While, therefore, it cost on the average
96.46 cents in 1898 and 9267 cents in 1894
for actual expenses of each revenue train
mile run, the revenue from passengers per
tram mile run was only 91.51 cents in 1898
and 80, 80 cents in lS04-or less than cost.
But there was a profit on freight service,
the revenue per mile run being Sl.570l
in 1898 ana $l.5S34 in 1894, and out of
this narrow margin between receipts and
expenditures per mile has to come the
return for the investment in road, rolling
stock, structures and other property
Stated in a general way, it costs about 81
mile, actual operative expenses, to run
train, without allowing any return on
cost of road or equipment. 1t is needless
to say that many trains are run at less
than cost, some literally mot earning
their axle grease" while on the other
hand well-loaded freight or passenger
train, at decent rates, pays considerable
margin.

Gen. G. M Sorrel came down from
New York yesterday morning, and will
remain in the city for the next week to
look after the business of the Ocean
Steamship Company. Gen. Sorrel is very
much encouraged by the outlook for this
seasons business, and says everything

up considerable, and he believes there will
be heavy travel south this season. The

TO BRING PEOPLE TO BUY.
Crowds Waiting for Excursions 10
Come TO Savannah.

The Merchants Thinking of a Scheme
to Offer Inducements to Their ooun-
try Patrons-The Trade Excursions
Last Year so Successful That An
other Series Is Wanted, but no
Chance on Account of the Railroads
Unwillingness to Enter Into the
Plan - Private Excursions Doing
Good Deal for the Merchants.
The retail merchants are discussing the
subject of trade excursions to Savannah
during the fall and coming winter. The
benefits from the excursions last winter
were so satisfactory that it is likely that
some effort will be made to bring people
here again this year. 1t is doubtful if it
can be done the way it was done last
winter, owing to the fact that the rail
roads will not agree to a continuance of
the excursions on the same terms.
What arrangements will be made, if
any, are not known. In fact no definite
steps have been taken in the matter to
see what can be done, but it is not IN
likely that provisions will be made
within the next few weeks, to bring the
people from the interior of the state in
territory tributary to Savannah here
during the fall and winter.
The merchants OF a number of southern
cities have already taken hold of the
matter. The plan adopted in Baltimore,
and carried out by a regularly organized
association, has been in operation for a con-
siderable number of years, and has proven
satisfactory. The money is provided by
the merchants, and they find that it is
money well spent.
PRIVATE EXCURSIONS RUN.
Already number of private excursions
have been advertised. One will reach the
city day after tomorrow from along the
line of the Central railroad and its
branches, taking in Covington, Eatonton,
Mllledgeville, Waynesboro and other
towns on the main line and its branches
between here and Macon. The rate for
the round trip for this excursion from the
farthest point is 81. This puts it within
the means of every one who wants to
come to Savannah to do so. The tickets
are good for three days. The excursion
VIII reach here Wednesday afternoon,
and passengers may return on auy train
| up to Saturday night This allows Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday and part Of
| Wednesday here, affording ample time
| for visitors to see the city and do their
| buying.
Half dozen excursions Of this charac-
ter during the fall and winter, when the
| people in the country want to come to Sa-
vannah to buy, would put many thou
! sands of dollars into the pockets of the
| merchants.
THEY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
There has been a good deal of inquiry
in the country of the travelling men if
there is any probability of the excur-
sions being run this fall, the
same as last. Whatever is done this
| year will in all probability be by the re-
| for their benefit and the benefit of the
people who take advantage of them.
! Various plans have been suggested to
bring the country people here which if a
meeting is called will b. laid before it,
1t is not thought that any plan like last
| season can be adopted on account of the
unwIllinguess of the railroads to enter
