No company inferior to the No. 2. II
these companies were sent out and adver-

they are, therefore, always called the
original" Very often the managers are
fooled and frequently they aid in the de-
ception. The theaters in their power are
greatly hampered and the people who pat
ronize the playhouses suffer.
The Savannah thea ter is independent of
the trust, but 1t is suffering no worse than
some of the trust theaters themselves.
Half dozen trust companies. all first at
fractions, which were booked early In the

who was here last week and who is play
ing in opposition to the trust, said that
unless II Is broken he will not play next
year at all. He is unable to carry a com
pany of competent actors and play against
the monopoly The only way, Manager
Weis says, for the south to get good plays
is for all the managers south of WASH
ington to combine against the trust. This
they are unable to do, because some of
the leading theaters have been gobblcd
bv it, For instance, Columbia, Augusta,
Macon, Atlanta and Nashville are In the
trust, and the attractions played at these
places are controlled by Klaw g. Eranger.
Savannah. being in the circuit of those
cities, first-class companies cannot afford
to come here, make long railroad jumps
and miss the theaters controlled by the
trust. The result Is the southern theaters
are at the mercy of the syndicate men, and
have to take whatever is sent 70 them. Sa-
vannah has never had so many repertoire
companies as this year, because they are
the only companies that can be played
TO any advantage. When really frst-class
attractions come high prices are schedul-

G. G. Thomas, representative OF Ware

between ourselves and a committee of
Georgia legislators, who were detailed to
visit the various convict camps in this Sec

the time the state of Georgia was not nav

No attempt is to be made to drive the big ships so as to equal the famous run of the Oregon coming eastward. theneed for the ships on the Pacific side not being so pressing as to warrant incurring the risk of injur- ing the boilers or the machinery by keeping mp full speed.
