A strong Fight 10 Be Made before
the Association This Fall.

Among other matters which Capt. D.
G. Purse, as commissioner OF the Savan-
nah Bureau Of Freight and Transporta-
ton. is working with all his might is that
OF tourist rates for Savannah. Tourist
rates have long been a subject for discus
sion, but no practical results have ever
been obtained.
This was one of the first matters TO
which Capt. Purse gave his attention
when elected commissioner. Although
the time Is short. he expects 10 accom-
plish something by the time the tourist
season opens. He was assured assist
ance and cooperation from an uneX-
pccted source last week. The Charlest0
Truck Growers Association has taken up
the matter of tourist rates for Charles
ton and committees have been appointed
from the various commercial bodies to
cooperate with the truck growers as
ISOLATION.
The Charleston people are modest in
their request and only ask for stop over
tickets, while Savannah wants full tour
ist rates. The stOp-over privilege IS al
ready taken advantage Of here TO a con-
siderable extent, though the railroads do
not advertise that fact 10 their northern
patrons, which is one of the points aimed
at BY Capt. Purse.
one of the first things which occurred
to the Charleston committee was to so
licit the cooperation and assistance Of
Commissioner Purse.
This matter was taken up by letter. and
Capt. Purse received a communication
from Mr.. y. n. Egleston, Jr, secretary Of
the Truck Growers Association % that
city, In which he was asked to cooperate
with Charleston in the matter OF securing
the stopover tickets. Mr. EglestOn stated
that all the organizations in Charleston
would join in the movement, and asked
Savannah's cooperation.
II beg to assure you of our willingness
and desire to have your cooperation, not
in securing ''stop-over' tickets. but full
and unqualified tourists rates, for which
We are now making vigorous contention,
with every hope of success Capt. Purse
replied to the communication.
Had you not written it was my pur-
pose, at a very early day. to have en-
listed Charleston's railroads and business
organizations in our fight for tourists
rates, and / beg now that you will not
stop your work when you have enlisted
all of your commercial bodies" his letter
continues.
your city is really the only place, I'M
der existing circumstances, with which
we could make common cause without
overlooking and thereby jeopardizing the
success Of our efforts"
Some new arguments are being brought
to bear every day and there is every pros
pect that the Southern States Passenger
Association will find before it at its Sep
TENDER meeting an array of facts and fig
ures i'm favor of tourist rates which will
prove almost invincible.

JOKE ON A sAvANNAHIAN.
Arrested I'm Jacksonville for Pass
ing Counterfeit Money.

Arrested I'm Jacksonville for Pass
ing Counterfeit Money.
The following from the Jacksonville,
Fla, paper shows the humor of some of
the good people of that city, perpetrated
upon their visiting cousins:
"A very poor joke was played upon a
young man from Savannah yesterday
morning. The young man, who is bar
keeper at Savannah, came here on some
business, and stopped at Betteinrs ho-
tel. While standing there talking to a
friend Yves Hearn showed him one of
the old Tallahassee Railroad Company's
representations of a 81 bill. Hearn bet the
drinks that the stranger could not dis
pose Of the bill. The bet was taken and
the young man started out to get the bill
broken. He went next door, to buy some
cigars and offered the bill in payment
1t was not taken. He then entered Judge
Dzialynskrs place of business, and an
unsuspecting clerk changed the bill for
him. He went back into the bar, and
took the bet, and then started back to
give the money to the clerk when he
was arrested by Policeman Lynch for
passing counterfeit bills. He was taken
to the police station. where the affair
was explained, and he was allowed to de-
part. He will not attempt to pass anoth-
er piece of Tallahassee" money again
soon"

After Tvventy-Five Years.

A pleasant and happy incident occurr-
ed Saturday between two well-known
physicians. Just twenty-five years ago.
and near the same day of the month, DR..
E, H. Nichols left Dr. King wylIy in
Paris, France, DIR. WILLY to go to the seat
of war in the capacity of surgeon of The
French army, and DR.. Nichols, then a
student of medicine in Paris to return
to America to his parents, who were anx-
ious concerning his welfare on account
of the siege then in progress. Last Sat
urday, twenty-five years after this part
ing, Dr. Nichols called and paid his re-
spects at the office of Dr. King Wyllv
who had Just moved 10 Savannah TO To-

and many were the stories of old times
that were told.

THE sKIDAwAY BRIDGE.
The Argument TO he Made To-day on
the Nandamus Case.

The mandamus case Of Barnett VS.. the
Judge Falligant in chambers this fore
noon.
This Is the outcome Of a case that has
been before the county commissioners for
several years and has been brought to
force the commissioners. if possible.
to relieve the skidway bridge, Mr.
J. r. Saussy, county attorney, has
been working diligently in the
matter for the past month, seeking in
formation as regards the legal status of
the case. He has found that no two grand
juries hardly, have had the same mind
about the subject. on recommending 1t,
while another objected on the score of ex-
pense.
One grand jury recommended it. II the
bridge. and causeway could be built for
5000. on this basis bids were asked for
but It was decided when bids were in and
the plans examined, that no bridge of suf-
hcient strength to withstand the tides
and storms, could be built for that amount
of money. Since that time nothing has
been done. The people of that section
have now employed counsel and intend
fighting for the bridge and the highway
leading thereto.
If there is time, the mandamus served
on Judge Ferrill of the court of ordinary,
will be heard also. This is to compel him
to order a mo fence" election. A petition
was presented to him some time ago, ask
ing for this from four districts. The Judge
carefully examined the law on the subject
and came to the conclusion that as one
election had been held this year another
could not be held. He therefore refused
to order the elction as prayed for in the
petition. hence the mandamus.
Since then several lawyers have stated
that in their opinion no other election
| can be had in this county until the legis-
lature passes a law ordering one In other
words, the law orders an election for a
specified purpose, but it does not provide
how to undo any result that such an cleo
ton may bring. The election can be held
to do a certain thing but there seems no
way to turn about and undo it, according
/ to legal minds.

TO CLOSE UP TO-DAY.
The Banks and Public Buildings to
Observe Labor Day,

Observe Labor Day.
To-day is labor day and a legal holt
day according to law and the proclaim
ations of Gov Atkinson and Mayor
Myers. No arrangements have been made
to celebrate the day by the labor organ
izations here and apparently it will be
labor holiday in name only.
The day chimes in well, however, with
the Sedan celebration. which will help to
give the effect of a holiday. The board of
trade, the cotton exchange the city ex-
change, court house, and the banks, will
be closed on account of the day being a
legal holiday. This will result in many of
the business houses, especially on the
Bay, closing during the afternoon and
will enable their employees to take in the
celebration at Thunderbolt. No orders
have been issued for a general holiday at
the railroad shops and offices, but it is
expected that many of the men will be
let off during the afternoon. As the court
house will be closed for the day, there
will be no registration at the tax eollec-
tors office.

PEARS FROM PINEORA.

Limbs Break on.
The country around Pineora, about thir-
ty miles from Savannah, on the Central
railroad, is becoming famous as a fruit
growing section. Mr.. T. d. Hayward of
Pineora brought in to the Morning News
office stem on the end of which were
hanging six large, elegant pears of the
Keiffer variety. These pears are growing
in abundance on the land around Pineora,
and the soil is apparently of such a ma
ture, that they thrive and reach the most
luxurious maturity. The weight is so
great in many Instances that small limbs
break off. The crop there this year is a
large one 1t is a late pear, and a better
variety for preserving than the LeConte
pear. The success of the fruit orchards
there this year, will, no doubt, lead others
to make a venture in that direction an
other season.
