MORE STEAMERS ron SAVANNAH
Another Line Talked of From Angus
tn Here.


There is talk in Augusta of another line
of river steamers to Savannah. The Au-
gusta Morning News says it is pleased to
announce this to it's readers that before
many more months have elasped the line
will be in operation.
THE fact that such a movement is an
ticipated was made evident few months
ago. the Morning News says, when an
attempt was made to lease the city wharf
by well known railroad man. who was
acting as the agent of the South Caro-
lima and Georgia road. He made applica-
ton to the mayor and was told that such
was out of the question. Since that time
several employees of that road and of the
Augusta Southern have piled MIR. w. C.
Barnes with questions as to the availability
of the river during the year.
1T is now current report. and It is not
denied by those who know. that the South
Carolina and Georgia will obtain another
outlet TO the sea by the establishment
OF this line Of boats. By this means they
VIII become independent of the Clyde line,
TO great extent, and make the road one
OF the most valuable in this section of the
country The charter of the Augusta
southern will allow the company to make
the arrangements contemplated
In short" said gentleman, sit looks
as If the South Carolina road wants to
break away from the Clyde line I am sure
such is the case.
Mr.. i. II. Emmerson of the South Car
DINA road was asked concerning the pro-
posed arrangement He refused to say
anything for publication, but the fact re-
mains that agents of this road have been
compiling information about the SaVan-
nah river. They did so with a purpose,
and attending circumstances go to CON
nrm the truth of the report. AS is well
known, the South Carolina and Georgia
has had it's eyes upon Savannah for some
time, but has been unable to get terminal
facilities there, as they have been unable
to make arrangements with the Central
of Georgia or the Charleston and Savan-
nah road. Their object in establishing
this line of boats is to get through to Sa-
Vannah by water. This Will give them
entrance to that much coveted territory
regardless of rail facilities, and will add
greatly to the Importance of the South
Carolina and Georgia system"

MIR. Albert A. Hyde Representing the

Mr.. Albert A. Hyde of Chattanooga,
Tenn, representing the Southern League
of Master Plumbers, was in the city yes
terday.
Mr.. Hyde is making a tour of the south
ern states in the interests of the better
sanitary condition of the south. He is
one of the most prominent sanitarians of
the day, and the association he repre-
sents is working in the interests of the
improved health and sanitary conditions
of the cities Of the southern states.
Through the influence of the league,
state laws with regard to sanitary plumb
ing have already been passed in Texas
and Tennessee, and other states are ex-
pected to take the matter UP.
1t is an educational movement, he says,
and one which has for one of its objects,
that of putting the plumber in the right
light before the community, and showing
his Importance in its health and santa
ton. He left the city last night for
jacksonville.

Then it does you harm. There is no halt

digested food sours, or ferments. in the
stomach and becomes poison to the
whole body. II causes headache, heart
pa;pitation, liver and kidney trouble, dis
tress after eating, pains In the chest and
sides, and the tired, languid, heavy feel
ing we hear so much about. When the
digestion goes wrong every function of the
bodv goes wrong. Yes and the mind. too.
Men fail In business and die poor for no
other reason than this-they are weaken

the same way. You may be one of this
miserable multitude. The writer of these

You can eat and digest your food while

THE ANIMAL ACTORS.

Gave Their First Performance last
Night to Large Audience.
Prof Gentry's dog and pony show. which
gave its first performance last night after
an absence of three years, was one of the
prettiest exhibitions of the kind ever seen
here The show had been well adver-
tised by the handsome parade during the
day and the tent in which the performance
was given was well filled. The show is a
remarkable one The dogs and ponies,
comprising It, seem to possess almost
human intelligence. In fact, as advertised,
they seemed last night to be capable of do
ing almost every thing but talk. Every
one was pleased with the exhibition, and
was unstinted in applause. The training OF
the animals is a high tribute to Prof. Gen
try's patience and ability.
The interior OF the tent was brilliantly
illuminated and remarkably clean, and
judging from the continuous laughter and
applause that greeted the acts the tent
at Bolton and Price streets, will be filled
20 it's capacity at each of the remaining
performances.
The exhibition is given entirely by the
little dogs ponies and monkeys, yet the
performance Is refreshngly original
There are none of the old tricks in the
bright and amusing programme every
thing is new, and there IS such a vim
and Vivacity in the acting of the little
animals as to entertain most enjoyably,
the most critical spectator.
The show will remain here to-day and
Tomorrow with matinee this afternoon
and tomorrow afternoon.

year, which excited much interest At
the time he gave scenes from Henry ",
Julius Caesar, Henry VIII and Richard
III, and also the chariot race from Ben
Hur. He is a reader of unusual force and
his Interpretation of Shakespeare has
made him a reputation. There is more
than ordinary interest in his recital of
Henry V, owing to the character of the
play. The recitals are given by subscrip-
ton and admission is only by card.
