A Pleasant Trip That Cannot Be Excelled

lis It is usually the case when a traveller starts on a journey, and especially for any distance, it is desirable to have the fewest changes, all the comforts of home life, and to be able to make the trip at as little expense as possible.
 In visiting Philadelphia, New York Boston or any other important eastern cities it is believed that these comforts and pleasures can only be found by using the Plant system, via Montgomery and Thomasville to Savannah, thence by the superb steamers of the Ocean Steamship company to any of the cities above named.
 The Plant system runs fast double daily passenger trains from Montgomery to Savannah, carrying Pullman sleepers, free reclining chair cars and first-class day coaches.
 Either one way or round trip excur- sion rates as shown in tariff sheets from any of the leading cities of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana to any of the eastern cities will apply over the Plant system, through Savannah, and one great advantage the traveller has by using the route via Savannah is that all first-class rates include meals and state room while on the steamer, thus avoiding the extra expense of sleeping car fare, which would have to be paid in addition to the ticket rate if other routes were selected.
 The Savannah line is free from heat and dust and in selecting your summer trip 1t is well to keep these facts in mind, and if any further information is de- sired communicate with Plant system officials, and tell them what you want to know.
 The Montgomery office of the Plant system is a bureau of information" and all questions are cheerfully and promptly answered.

Passed the Eleventh Milestone.-The
 Southern Idea has the following, editori-
 ally: With this issue of the Southern
 Idea we glance at the head rule and see
 that we have arrived at the 11th mile
 post. This paper was founded by the late
 Jchn E. Steadham, deceased, and while
 it has changed hands many times and
 had many failures and mishaps, yet she
 has been true to the principles of de-
 mucracy, battling with the unjust, and
 fighting for freedom. home and the up-
 building of this beautiful southland. We
 have been in full charge for only short
 time as editors and publishers, yet many
 are the hours that we have stood at the
 eases and pulled the lever over this
 same old 'Wlashlngton.' filling the posi-
 ticn of devil and foreman. It seems but
 as yesterday when We first learned the
 boxes in the Idea office, and while we
 have had many sad hours and dlsap- pcintments, we are glad to say that every
 cloud has a silver lining, and today we
 are on top, and will continue to wield the
 pen for peace, progress and prosperity.
 Took a Look Around and What They
 Saw.-The Eufaula Times prints the fol-
 lowing: MT. John Speight and Nat Mil
 Ter went over the river yesterday on
 sort of inspecting tour. They passed through the plantations of Messrs. liar mon Lampiey, Sam Ogletree, Marion
 Gay, Walter Green and Major Reeves and they report corn extra me, cotton
 some good and some not so good. Crops all in good condition, no grass They
 were glad to see field peas planted in almost all the corn along their route, and as far as their observation went the acreage of corn is largely in excess of
 the cotton. MT. Bob Moulthrop also has a fine field of corn near his brick yard. And if you want to see a thing run like
 machinery just stop and look at him
 making brick. The carts are hauling up the clay, it is shoyelled into the hopper; the brick making machine is running like lightning and turning out so many fine perfect brick every minute. Those who bear them off must take them as they come out; can't wait a second All goes like machinery sure enough. The human
 machines must do their part on time just as promptly and regularly as the wheels of the engine go round. The brick are borne off and racked up and let dry awhile till they are ready to go to the kiln to be burned. It is really interesting to see this brick making going on. And the result of this industry and prompt ness are seen in the large l<ilns that are constantly going up. But one thing, Bob" and little Bob" both know how
 and in the season they stick to it. They,
 our tourists. decided if what they saw was an index to the state of things gen orally, our farmers were trying what virtue there is in diversifying the crops. They saw Chinese cane, ground peas, sweet potatoes, sugar cane and all seem- ing to receive good attention. They came back feeling good and thought that
 our section must be on the high road to prosperity"

Refnpees From Santiarn-

New York, June 29.-Among the passen- gers of the Ward line steamer Santiago, which arrived this morning from Santi- ago, Cienfuegos and Nassau, are fifty eight passengers from Santiago. many of whom are of the best Cuban families of that place. They are leaving Santiago because of the disturbed condition of the country. Insurgents are so active in the vicinity of Santiago that the Spanish authorities are placing all of the inhab- itants under strict surveillance. Many of the people are leaving to avoid an- noyance and discomforts brought upon them by the enforcement of those meas ures.

Of course males are barred. The feet must be faultfess- perfect poems of grace and beauty therefore great care must be taken in selecting charter members. The feet are examined by committee in the following manner: The applicant is placed behind a curtain where she cannot be seen by the committee. She will bare her lovely pedals to the ankles and expose them to the gaze of the examining committee without the applicants name being made known to said committee. If the feet come up to the requirements the appli- cant will be admitted to membership, but if they do not come up she will be blackballed."

Captain Fox, of the steamship
Hereford, which arrived here on
Monday from Calcutta via Port of
Spain, had a most unpleasant ex-
perience with a cargo of 600 coolies
whom he had on board, says the
Philadelphia Press. Soon after
leaving Calcutta, measles broke out
among them, and ragged with such
violence that no less than forty of
them died. A long line of bodies
thrown overheard marked the
course of the Hereford until she
had left India far behind. The
unfortunate coolies were under con-
tract, Captain Fox says, =, work in
the Trinidad sugar plantations at a
shilling a day for five years. After
that time they can return to Cal
cutta if they desire to do so. For
each coolie landed safely at Port Of
Spain, Captain Fox received gra-
tuity of Is pence, the second and
third officers 10 pence, and the
surgeon a guinea.

French Transatlantic Flyers.

The French Transatlantic Com
pany, says the London correspondent
of the Glasgow Herald, has decided to
construct two new steamers for it's
| Atlantic service between Hayre and
New York, and these two vessels will
be named Alsace and Lorraine. The
dimensions of the new steamers indi-
cate distinct advance on the last
steamer constructed for the company,
La TOurraine, as they will be 557
feet 8 inches long, SO feet 6 inches
beam, having a drsught of 26 feet
and will displace 1900 tons. The
Paris is but 527 feet inches long,
but has 63 feet beam, and her dis
placement at % feet is 1900 tons,
while the C4mpania measures 600
feet long, IS feet beam. and at Is feet
draught displaces $4,000 tons. The
Alsace and Lorraine will, therefore,
come next to the Csmpania and
Lucania In size. The engines will
be at least 5000 indicated horse
power, and the speed in service will
be 20 knots. The French company
hopes to match the new American
boats st. Paul and st. Louis, if not
also the Cunarders. The cost of the
new vessels is put at between
eighteen and twenty million francs
each, the latter figure being equal to
6800,0U0, and the French company is
appealing to the government for

ture in respect Of the prospective
improvement in the Atlantic service
and also in producing vessels which
will be very useful from a naval, as
we'll as commercial, point of view,
since, when armed in time of war,
they would make splendid auxiliary
cruisers. The scheme formulated is
that the French government, besides
subsidizing in this respect, should
enter into ten years. concession
with the company to conduct mail
service between Havre, Bordeaux
and the French colonies with two of
the steamers now conducting the
Havre and New York service. These
vessels, of 16i knots, are to be re-

be an acceleration of three miles per
hour on the existing service.-New

The U. s. 5. Constitution.

The naval appropriation bill,
which was reported to the House
recently, contains an item of s. 600
for the removal OF the y. S. s. Con.
stitution from Portsmouth, n. H., to
the navy yard at Washington, says
the Washington Star. The report
says that for many years past this
vessel has been used as a receiving
ship at the Portsmouth navy yard,
and onl y such repairs put upon her
as would render her habitable aud in
a condition to float. Her present
state Is such that if this famous old
ship Is to be longer preserved as a
memento OF our glorious past a
larger sum of money than that ap-
propriated at the last session will be
necessary. In view of the memories
which are inseparately connected
with this vessel, the Navy Depart
ment believes that it will be wise for
Congress to authorize that she be
repaired and put In such condition
as will enable the department to
preserve her indefinitely. Should
such an act be passed the old ship
might then be brought to Washing
ton and kept at the navy yard as an
object of interest to the many
thousands of patriotic Americans
annually visiting the capital of the
nation.
