taurant, Hicks, Notwithstanding the pro-
prietor has been unable to be on hand
during the past week. It's the organiza-
ton, don't you know, it's the know how
of Hicks gathered during the past twenty
years in the restaurant business in Sa-
vannah. Experience, capital, attention and
an up-to-date equipment, are the things
that make Hicks establishment go all
the time.
The service is constantly improving
after theater parties are becoming the
popular fad and everybody goes to
Hicks. oysters, rice birds, soft shell crabs
and lobster are the favorite special or

best in America 1t is an undisputed fact
that Hicks regular meals are the best for

A FREIGHT DISSEMINATION.
New Orleans and Mobile Coming In
to sUvannah's Cotton Territory.

NNh OEstuMh anu IAOnllt coming IN
to SUvannah's Cotton Territory.
The Savannah freight bureau has lust
taken up discrimination in rates against
Savannah. which promises to deprive it
Of a good many OF the cotton shipments.
few days ago NJ. Y. MacIntyre G. CO.
received letter from Horne & Bashaw
Of Chipiey. Fla, in which was the fol-
lowing statement: kindly state what
you VIII charge per bale for handling cot
ton Freights to Savannah are against
you, It being S275; Mobile, $500; New
Orleans. $50"
The letter was referred at once to the
freight bureau and the matter promptly
taken up. Commissioner Purse has ad-
dressed letters to the proper officials of
all the railroads which come into Sa-
vannah, and which bring cotton to this
port The substance Of his communica-
ton is as follows:
81 beg to invite your attention to the
enclosed copy of letter from Mr.. r. c.
Horne, OF Chipley, Fla, to Messrs. NJ. Y.
Macintyre a Co, Of this city, in which he
quotes rates on cotton from Chipley to
New Orleans and Mobile. showing a diff
ferential in favor of New Orleans against
Savannah of 25c per bale, and in favor of
Mobile against Savannah Of 75c per bale.
THE distance from Chipley TO New Or
leans is 36l miles. to Mobile 20 miles, and
to Savannah via your line $40 miles, via
Plant system 3W miles 1t would appear
from the mileage that the rate should be
in favor of and not against Savannah as
compared with New Orleans.
Under the rates now existing Savannah
is shut out from competition In that ter
ritory.
VIII you kindly investigate the matter
with view to removing the discrimina-
tion against Savannah, and advise me the
result"
Commissioner Purse says that just such
Determinations as these result in keeping
away from Savannah the cotton that
wTuio iegieitasey come mere, ana me
nation can be reached is the railroads
themselves. 1t is a case which the Southern

TO MAKE 1T A COUNTY LAW.
a scheme to Take the City Court Out
of the City's Hands.

A scheme to Take the City Court Out
of the City's Hands.
1t is a well known fact that there has
been some talk for a long time about ar
ranging, through the passage of an act by
the legislature, to have the county stand
the entire expense of the city court, in
stead of having a portion of the expenses
paid out Of the city treasury.
A prominent city official is responsible
for the statement that a bill will be intro
duced al the coming session of the legisla-
ture with that end in view. The present
city council seems to have a special desire
to get rid of that expense, and will likely
take some action in the matter soon.
In this connection prominent politician
stated that he had authentic information
that an effort would be made to get
the people of the sheriff and clerk of the
city court. His idea was that If the county
bears the entire burden of the city court,
then the people of the county, instead of
the city council, should say who are to
be its officers.
He said that he expected an advertise
ment giving notice of such a local bin
would be published within few days and
that following this up it was likely that a
resolution would be introduced in council
providing for the Endorsement of such a
measure by that body, in the event of
course, that the city should get rid of the
expense Of that court
Whether such a resolution could be
passed, however, is another matter The
gentleman in question did not see, though
how the city council could consistently
withdraw its financial support from the
city court and at the same time insist on
electing two of its most important officials
This may prove a very interesting issue
when 1t comes up.

A TangIe of wires stirs Up n Com
motion.

Some workmen who were erecting a
new trolley pole nearly in front of the
Morning News office yesterday afternoon
managed TO break one or more overhead
wires. The next car that passed slipped
its trolley and helped to tangle the broken
wires.
There was a lively suffering Of dang
ling wires for some time. with an ac-
eompanying display of electric fireworks.
That the wires were dangerous was shown
by the gingerly manner in which the work.
men approached them.
In removing the broken wires a live
wire was brought in contact with some
OF the Western Union wires causing a
transfer of a part of the electric dts
play to that office with unpleasant con-
sequences. One of the clocks in the Of
flee having an electric connection was
burned out. 1t was not the master CLOCK,
however. The broken wires were finally
removed without damage to any one.
There is such mass OF overhead wires
of ali kinds in some sections of the city
that the distribution of a heavy current
by broken wire is liable to cause serious
damage.

A New store.

Messrs. Rothschild & Roos have opened
a first class grocery store, at the corner
of Drayton and Charlton streets. They
have selected a stock of the finest staple
and fancy groceries and invite inspection
and trial order. Prices have been made
very low and the best attention is paid to
every customer. Prompt delivery is to
be a feature of the new concern, and the
location, so much nearer the residence
part of the city, is a decided advantage in
this respect. Both gentlemen are expert
enced in the business and know how to
attract and care for trade.
