Chairman BOurGuin Says the Road
commissioners Are Hardly Dead
Yet.
1.-THE road commissioners of Chatham
county are not dead yet by good deal"
said Chairman Gugie Bonrquin yesterday.
What do you propose to do, then. about
this new law, which became effective by
the recommendation Of the grand jury?"
he was asked.
well, / don't know yet" he replied.
II am looking into the matter now We
viii maintain our corporate organization
at any rate" he said, land await devei-
opments There are some matters in
which the county commissioners cannot
proceed legally without the road commits
sioners, among which are the opening of
new roads and the giving of notice to
railroads to put and keep their crossings
in order. l don't quite see yet just how
they are going to manage those things
under this new law but we will see. All
1 want is to have the roads worked, and
have them kept in good condition when
they are badly in need of repairs and
they have been in many places of late

Spring Carnival Procession Being
Talked OF for Savannah.

Spring Carnival Procession Being
Talked OF for savannah.
There Is already some talk OF a May
pageant. 1t is three years since the last
May week festival
The tableaux vivants, which were the
feature OF that celebration. demonstrated
that there is a carnival spirit in Savan-
nah which can produce pageants rivaling
the famous AIardi Gras professions OF
New Orleans. The Proteus procession in
1882 was a revelation TO many who had
never seen anything Of the kind and the
thousands who witnessed the display wit
messed for the first time display Of that
character.
Several gentlemen who have recently
visited New Orleans and witnessed the
Mardi Gras festivities have interested
themselves in an effort to reproduce the
pageant of three years ago with the addi-
ton Of new procession. The Buzzards'
Dream Of Beauty and the Knights Of JOY,
New Years professions and the Comus,
Rex and Proteus pageants in New Or
leans during Mardi Gras week furnish
subjects which can be produced here
with effects almost. If not quite, as brill
udNL as are seen m New orleans, even
though they may be produced on lesser
scale.
A number Of propositions have already
been received from parties in New Or
leans for furnishing the subjects and de-
tails for a procession here on more
elaborate scale than that Of three years
ago and at a considerably less cost The
floats used in the PrOteus parade are
still here. With the revision of these and
the addition of a new subject Savannah
could produce a street pageant equal to
any that has ever been presented In the
south outside of New Orleans.
Already a number of business men have
interested themselves in the matter and
an effort will be made at once to see
whether parade is practicable.
The general plan. so far as il has been
discussed, is to make the festival two
days or three at the outside, with the
parade the feature. The railroads, it is
believed. would put on a half-fare rate
and possibly lower rate than that even,
which, with the pageant, would draw
crowds Of people to the city from all
over this and the adjoining states.

RoYAL BAKING PowDER.
STILL ON THE ARGUMENTS.
The 100000 BOnd suit May Get 10
the-Jury To-day.

Nne jury lo-ua9.
The trial of the suit Of j. b DucIsworth
and others as trustees and executors of
the estate Of William Battersby against
the Ocean Steamship Company was con-
tinued before Judge Falligant in the su-
perior court yesterday. The jury came
to the court as summoned, but as the ar
guments had not been concluded on the
law points involved, it was dismissed until
this morning.
The outlook is, however, that the jury
will not get a chance at the case until
this afternoon, as the arguments were on
ly about half way concluded last night
when the court adjourned. Mr.. T. NJ.
Cunningham, Jr's, arguments was con-
cluded about noon. when the side of the
plaintiff was taken up by Mr.. George w.
Owens. Mr.. J. r. Saussy will argue the
case in behalf of the plaintiff at the concur
sion of Mr.. Owens argument, and Mr.. A
r. LaWton, Jr., will conclude for the
Ocean Steamship Company, the defendant
having the conclusion on account of haV-
ing introduced no testimony.
The attorneys for the plaintiff hold
that under the will the authorities of the
Ocean Steamship Company had no right
to transfer the $4,000 of bonds to bearer
without the assent of the other trustees
and executors in England, and on that
account should be held liable. TIae de
Tense is, as stated yesterday. that Mai.
A. L. Hartridge was the authorized ex-
ecutOr for the estate, and that Mr.. Duck
worth was not, and therefore it is claimed
the company had the right to transfer
the bonds on Maj. Haruidge's authority.

TO LET OUT THE PAWN BROKERS'
An Ordinance Removing Some Re-

An Ordinance Removing Some RE-
strictiOns on Their business.
An ordinance was introduced in the
city council last night by Alderman Screw
en- to amend the ordinance passed Deem
Der 20, 1893, regulating the business of
pawnbrokers.
Alderman Screven's ordinance knocks
out section of the former ordinance,
which limits the rate of interest that can
be charged by pawnbrokers, fixes the
time at which the pawnbroker may sell
the articles pledged and compels him to
return stolen goods.
That portion of Section 3 which pro-
hibits pawnbrol1ers from receiving pledges
from minors, drunken persons, appren-
tees and servants is knocked out.
Section 5, which prohibits them from
importing merchandise from other cities
to retail here, is also repealed by the new
ordinance.
The ordinance, it is understood, was in
troduced by Alderman Screven at the re-
quest of the pawnbrokers, who consider
the present law too restrictive.
The ordinance will be acted upon at the
next meeting of council.

ined by Some Security Holders.
The statement of the amended plan of
reorganization Of the Central railroad
brought from New York by Judge Will
liam D. Harden was submitted yesterday
to the members of the debenture holders
committee and others who are interested
in various ways.
Judge Harden says everyone to whom
he has shown it is entirely satisfied with
the arrangement 1t proposes, and the gen
eral opinion seems to be-that it will be
generally satisfactory to the junior secu-
rity holders.
The debenture holders committee has
as yet taken no official action on the mat
ter, but it is likely that the members of
it viii give it their approval, as it seems
the best arrangement for all concerned
that could be obtained.
The plan has been fully drawn UP, and
the details of it are known to those most
prominently interested in this CITY, but
none of them will consent to any publi-
cation of it until 1t comes from head
quarters in New York.

Of the salaries Of city physicians from
$1,000 to $50 was one of the reasons why
Dr. Bloodworth rendered his resignation.
On account of the large amount of work
which a city physician is required to do
and the interference with his regular prac-
tice, DR.. Bloodworth did not consider the
reduced salary sufficient compensation for
the work. DR.. I. L. Welch is being urged
for the vacancy.

sOnE FIGURES ABOUT FRUIT

The following extract from an interview
with E. u. Goodsell, prominent fruit
dealer of New York, and published in the
Tribune of that city. will make mighty
interesting reading to our fruit growers.
He said:
In 1855 the entire output OF California fresh
fruits amounted TO % 900 COO pounds, and N
1890 there were $4,000. 900 shipped, an in
crease in five years OF 52,O0O,OO0 pounds. In
1894 the total output reached the enormous
quantity OF 160.o00.c00 pounds. 1t must be
borne in mind that this represents the produc
tion OF the state OF fresh fruits that were ex-
ported. There were used for canning and dry
ing in 1894 about 800 900. 600 pounds, SO that
the sgg regate production of the state was the
enormous quantity represented by the ii CURES,
AGO, 100000 AS there are 40l,4l5 acres OF
fruit under cultivation in that state, of which
only so per cent is at present in bearing, with
the full acreage in bearing the possible agri-
cultural wealth OF the state is enormous to
contemplate. The total value OF last years
crop exceeded $50, ,OeO, 900, or was $40, 900. 900
more than that OF gold taken from the ground.

rent from land, our present system of as
sessment is the best that could be. de-
vised. for it permits the virtual monopo-
ization of the entire continent, the own
ers of which are now paying taxes On
land that will not be needed within a
century. Let it be noted also that tn
present concentration of capital in man.
ufacture and agriculture is continually
reducing the amount and area If land
necessary for production. The bonanza
farm and the department store produces
a certain amount of wealth on a smaller
area OF land. Chicago owners of corner
groceries complain that the department
store is reducing their rents or leaving
their property tehantless. The small re-
'aier is being driven to the wall. If he
tries farming or horticulture he is con-
fronted with the same condition in those
industries. "Access to natural opportu-
mites" to the man without capital is be-
coming the merest mockery-twaddle in
dulged in by a shallow school of econo-
mics whose adherents stupidity stick their
heads in the sand like ostriches and
refuse to see conditions that are patent
and obvious to every intelligent observer.
The adoption of the single tax would not
have the slightest deterring effect in
preventing this lnequitable concentration
of wealth in industry. The large system
of production is here to stay. The only
question for the farmer and mechanic to
deal with is whether the saving of labor
and economies possible by the large sys-
tenn of production shall continue to inure
to a few capitalists, or that the producers
shall by intelligent cooperation them
selves retain the benefit and wage slavery
must be abolished. A system of econom-
les that would perpetuate it is fraud
and below contempt.

THE NEW CENTRAL POLICE STATION

We hope there is no foundation for the
suspicion by some people that improper
influences are entering into the selection
ton. Judgment and integrity should be
the only governing factors in this most
important transaction. The amount to
be expended in the purchase of a site is
too small to permit of there being much
of a corruption fund. and the officials
whose business it will be to consummate
the deal will have to dispose of their
characters and their political futures very
cheaply if it is their intention to sell out.
As we have intimated, the selection OF
site calls for both intelligence and hon.
esty. The contingencies of the future. as
we'll as those of the present, must be con-
sidered. A central police station should
be so situated that it will be indeed CEN
trail in its relation to the public needs.
1t should be convenient to and easily ac-
cessble from those other public institu-
tions of which it is practically a
branch, the county court house and the
city hall. Within the building will
be the quarters of magistrates acting
in the capacity of trial or exam
lining judges, who will either sentence or
commit persons to the county Jail. For
the purposes of ordinary convenience it
is highly desirable that the officers hav-
ing the custody of prisoners appearing
before these justices be not obliged to
convey them an unusual distance or by
difficult route. This will prove of espec-
tally grave consideration during or after
the examination OF a prisoner charged
with some crime that has aroused popu-
lar Indignation and a desire to inflict vio-
lent and illegal punishment.
Another consideration to be kept stead
lily in view is that the dimensions of the
property purchased be sufficient for the
erection of building large enough to
afford ample space for the various de-
partments, particularly the Jail and re
ceivng hospital. These latter at present
are simply disgraceful; the discomfor,s
attendant upon confinement in them are
almost inhuman. In every respect the
new quarters should be so spacious as to
anticipate the requirements of the future
very many years.
In order that no mistake may be COM
mitted, free. full and fair consideration
should be given all the sites rendered.
The officials armed with the authority to
buy can not afford to commit an error
that will reflect either upon their wisdom
or their honesty.
