As a n,sE OF SUPPLIES.

Maj. George W. Ruthers, commissary Of
subsistence, L. S. A, was quoted in our
local columns yesterday as expressing the
opinion that Savannah would ultimately
become the depot of supplies for the
Southern camps Mai Ruthers has made
a critical examination into the advant-
ages possessed by Savannah as railroad
center and as a port, and upon what he
has seen he has based his conclusion.
1t was stated in our Washington dis
patches a few days ago that the city of
Augusta had been selected as the depot
of supplies for the Southern camps With
out disparagement to Augustus excellent
facilities, or in any manner adopting
"dog-in- the-manger" policy, such as has
been violently pursued in another city,
we may say that Savannah logically
should be the depot for supplies for the
Southern camps, and for the troops in
Cuba and Porto Rico as well.
Since Savannah, on account of her su-
perior qualifications, has been selected as
the port of embarkation for the troops,
and as the site for the great military hos
pital, this city becomes the hub of a
great wheel whose spokes radiate to all
of the points at which troops of the United
states are or may be stationed in the
South and in the islands. For months
there will probably be a constant passing
of soldiers through the city and port
Every point that has been designated as
winter camp-Augusta, Atlanta. Macon,
Athens, Americas Columbia. Greenyille,
Spantauburg and others-is directly con-
nected with Savannah by rail, and the
island camps or cities of occupation will
be directly connected with Savannah by
government transport ships. Thus this
city will be the focus of lines connecting
the bodies of troops with each other.
Maj Ruthers' opinion respecting Savan-
nah's becoming ultimately the depot of
supplies was evidently reached after ex-
aiming the matter as a business propo-
sition. Savannah's transportation facili-
ties are the best in the South Atlantic sec
ton Her many railroad and steamship
lines afford rapid and frequent commu-
nication with all of the great supply CEN
ters; her wharf and dock room is ample
for any demand which may be made, and
her railway yard trackage is sufficient for
a practically unlimited traffic The rail-
way lines lead Immediately to deep water,
and along the lines and on the water front
are capacious warehouses whose doors
open only a few feet from ship or car.
1t is, therefore, an ideal place for hand
ling, shipping or storing great amounts
of military supplies.

when a Fellow Begins to Get Bald.

From the Denver Evening Post
AS age creeps upon US We try to stay
young
And frisky as long as We can,
And show TO the world by both action and
tongue
We yet are a mighty good man.
We laugh at gray hairs as no token of
age,
But look in the mirror appalled,
AS We find we are facing that worrying
stage
When a fellow begins to get bald.
It fastens a look of deep care In the eyes,
1t anchors a dread in the soul,
For here is a feature we cannot disguise,
A skating rink up on the poll
The fend of anxiety fortunes the brain,
Our taste for enjoyment is palled,
Our pleasure is tinged with a color of
pain
When a fellow begins 10 get bald.
We blow in our money for tonics and
creams,
We try ali the lotions in sight
But ev'ry preventive we plaster on seems
To hasten the hair in its fight.
We wear out our shoes on the specialists
stairs.
Experts into council are called.
But every day adds to the burden of cares
When a fellow begins 10 get bald.
We sit away back at the naughty display
OF tights at the hlgh-kicklng show,
Through fear that our friends may in
humanity say
We've hit the old bald-headed row.
At night our once pleasant, delectable
dreams
BY visions of wigs are enthraHed,
When waking, the brain with keen misery
teens
When a fellow begins TO get bald.
Whenever we meet lady friends on the
street
We blush while uplifting our hat
And though they may smile US a greeting
most sweet
We know they have got us down pat
We seem to care little when 10 our reward
In the realms of the blest we are called
For half of the pleasure of living seems
floored
When a fellow begins TO get bald

THE SAVANNAH sPIRIT.

1t has been only few days since 1t was
known upon authority that the Seventh
Army Corps would be removed to this city
and go into camp here. Then there was a
considerable lot of preparations to be made
for the coming of the soldiers. Without
delay or friction the work was begun, and
is being pushed forward with a degree of
rapidity which is worthy of the highest
commentator. 1t should be known. too,
that while the preparations are going for
ward with all possible expedition, they are
characterized by thorough workmanship.
They are being made with a view to meet
ing any demands which may come upon
them.
To fully appreciate what has already
been done, the amount of work that has
been accomplished in the short space of
three or four days, it is necessary to visit
the sites selected. To give some general
idea Of 1t. it may be stated that literally
miles of water mains have been laid and
electric and steam railway trackage built,
which are ready for service at moments
notice; and other improvements are NOV
ing along at about the same rate OF
progress.
All of this illustrates the typical spirit
of Savannah. Ii demonstrates that there
is an abundance of reserve energy in Sa-
vannah's officials, both public and cor
porate, to carry to a successful conclusion
any enterprise which may be undertaken.

ECZEMA

Baby's Arms Neck Hands and Face
Broken out with Red PimpIes.
Terribly Infamed.

Her from Scratching. Suffering
Was Terrible.
2 Leading Physicians Gould Not

CURA. Immediate Cure.

Our little daughter, now fifteen months old,
was troubled from her birth with Eczema.
Her face, arms, hands, and neck would break
out with red pimples, the parts afflicted
would swell and become terribly infiamed,
water would ooze out like great beads of per-
spiration, finally this would dry up and the
skin would crack and peel off. She suffered
terribly. Had to wear soft mittens on her
hands to keep her from scratching. We gave
two of our leading physicians good trial,
but neither of them helped her in the least.
purchased CUTICURA SOAP, CUTICURA (Oint-
ment), and CUTIcURA REsoLvENT, and COM
menced using them as follows: After bath
ing l wiped her with soft linen cloth, applied
CUTICURA (ointment) freely, and gave her tbs
REsoLvENT regularly. She improved at once
and is now never troubled, although we have
used less than one bottle of REsoLvENT, three
boxes of SALvE, and of course CUTIcURA
SOAP. The statements 1 have made are absO-
lutely true and not exaggerated in any way.

The conductor answered that it did not,
and that the route mapped out by the rail
way officials for him. and which he would
take, barring a collision, breakdown, or
running off the track, was by the Gilmor
street way.

1t is quite evident that an injustice has
been done the Brooklyn man who has been
arrested and locked up as crank because
he has demanded from the President the
loan of the United States navy and $1,000,
100000 for a few days. The Brooklyn gen
tleman is plainly an enthusiastic advocate
of national eXpansion-perhaps a member
OF the senatorial syndicate. If he is a
crank all the Republican editors are in
peril of the slright jacket also.

Mr.. OGDEN SPOKE FOR TT.

The Progress regrets that our
Representative in Congress from
this district, Hon. H. w. Ogden,
found a PLAUSIBLE reason for sup
porting the Loud bill. In doing
this Mr.. Ogden must have known
that he was taking a position
against the interests of the country
newspapers, which have been his
stanchest friends. We say he
must have known so, becsuse Mr..
Clarke, of Missouri, in the course
of his speech said that this bill
initiated more against the coun-
try press than any other class of
newspaper, and paid a magnifi-
cnt tribute to the country newspa-
pers, that they alone-as a great
whole-refused to bow the knee
