TOPPING orr THE LINES.

Anderson street Portion of the Bar
nard street Car Line Abandoned.
The consolidation of the street railway
lines has resulted in the abandonment of
the Anderson street portion of the Bar
nard line. Cars on Barnard street now
run only as far south as the switch be-
tween Henry and Anderson streets.
The Anderson street line was abandoned
without notice to the public People, who
have been accustomed to patronize the
line to the southern section of the city,
were carried as far as Anderson on Bar
nard, and left 20 walk the rest of the way
until they found out the line further
south had been done away with. People
on Anderson street were wondering all
of yesterday and most of the day before
what was the cause of the failure to run
cars. Conductors and motormen had no
information except that they had orders
to stop on Barnard street.
Inquiry at the companys office yester-
day developed the information that the
line had been abandoned because OF the
parallel Duffy street line. This line is ex-
pected to carry the Anderson street travel
The abandoning of the Anderson street
line Is an inconvenience TO many people
who live between Henry and Second
streets, as far east as East Broad street
1t is in plan of the consolidation, how
ever, and is expected to be followed by the
doing away with other lines. Instead of
three cars on Barnard street, only two will
be run hereafter.

FIRST BALE BROUGHT 10 CENTS.
Was Bought by Esteve & CO.-Crop
Reports Differ.


The first bale of new crop Georgia cot
ton was received yesterday and was sold
at auction in front of the cotton exchange
at 10 cents a pound.
The bale was shipped from Albany by
the Georgia Cotton Company, and was re-
ceived by Mr.. E. A Cults.
A number of cotton men were on hand
when Mr.. John B. Bulcken, assistant SUI
perintendent of the cotton exchange. put
the bale under the hammer. The first
bid was 81 cents. Several buyers took a
hand in the bidding until it stopped at 10
cents. 1t was knocked down to Jose M.
Esteve & Co.
The cotton was classed as fully mid
ding, and was of good preparation and
color, and fair staple. The bale weighed
$40 pounds
rive in the afternoon. 1t was shipped by
Stevens & Raglan of Brentwood Terrell
county, to w. W. Gordon & co.
There is diversity of opinion as to the
immediate movement of new cotton. The
two bales already marketed came from
the same section of the state, and 1t is
the opinion of many that a few scattering
bales will be received from that section
during the next week. If the weather
continues hot and dry the cotton will open
rapidly, and in about a week or ten davs
the movement will probably be lively from
all sections. The crop is later however.
than it was last year, as up to this time
there had been quite a number of new
bales received
There is stu a strong demand from spin
ners, and prices are firm. The price of

FIGHT OF THE row boats.
Preparations For n Vigorous War by
the Rival Companies.


the Rival Companies.
The rival towboat companies are prepar-
ing for war along the coast between Sa-
vannah and Jacksonville. The steamer R.
L. Mabey has arrived at Brunswick and
the first gun was fired there.
The Mabey has Joined forces with the
Bristol company. This company, it is
said, made overtures to the Brunswick
people to arrange for the latter to do the
harbor towing for all vessels taken TO that
port by any of their tugs. but no agree
ment was arrived at.
The Bristol company is making prepa-
rauons to enter the fight TO win. The
Dauntless is now at Jacksonville having
some repairs made to her boiler. She
will be ready In about two weeks, and
will be stationed at Tybee.
The tug I<inkora has been at Darien,
but Is now In Savannah, and will be thor
oughly overhauled within the next few
weeks. The Bristol is here, and will be
hauled out for repairs. Within a month
the entire fleet Of the Bristol company will
be ready to engage In the fight for busi-
ness
Capt Frank B. Avery, commodore of
the Bristol company's fleet, and master of
day on the steamship Tallahassee. He VIII
remain away a month on his summer va
cation. capt. OBrien of the Kinkora
came up yesterday from Darlen, and will
command the Bristol during Capt. Avery's
absence.
The officers Of the Propeller Towboat
Company viii not talk about the towboat
war. They admit. however. that the
Brunswick company, with which they
have always had harmonious dealings, has
made a proposition to combine against the
Bristol company They feel that the send
ing of the Dauntless 10 Savannah waters
increases the hostility between them and
the Bristol company and that they will
be Justified In lending hand in the fight.
The movement Of vessels al the present
time IS very light. The bulk of the ship
ping OF naval stores Is about over for the
summer. and 1t will be a month or two be-
fore the arrivals of sailing vessels and
steamers viii amount TO much. BY the
time business opens up IL may be expected
that a combination will be effected be-
tween the Savannah. Darien and Bruins
wick companies. to patron the waters adj
iacent 10 each of these ports, In opposi-
ton TO the Bristol company.
The fight promises TO be hot one, and
n may be expected that the rates for sea

lower than ever known In the history Of
the business.
