BUYING CROSS TIES.

The Baltimore and Ohio company
have posted notices along their line
stating that they will buy cross ties
in small and large quantities. They
pay the standard price and the money
is paid very promptly after the ties
are delivered. On account of the large
number wanted it is not thought that
they will secure enough before the
first OF August, 1899.

The Future Of Man,

Man has been animal, and he is to be

forward, and not backward. Man has
come SO far that he certainly must go
farther. He is learning to master him
self and to master nature and to live in
perfectly helpful relations to his fell

he certainly has not yet reached the

another sheaf on the tea table in the

that man who neither reads nor takes

What vast progress since the days
when Cardinal Wolsey declared that
either the printing press must go down
Or the Church of God must go down, to
this time, when the printing press and
the pulpit are in glorious combination
and alliance.
One of the great trials of this news
paper profession is the fact that they
are compelled to see more Of the shams
Of the world than any other profession.
Through every newspaper Office, day

the vanities that want to be pulled, the
revenges that want to be wrecked, all
The mistakes that want TO be corrected,
al the dull speakers who want to be
thought eloquent, all the meanness
that wants to get its wares noticed
gratis in the editorial columns in
order to save the tax of the
advertising column, all the men who
want to be set right who never were
right, all the crack-brained philoso-
piers, with story as long as their hair
and as gloomy as their fnger-nails, all
the itinerant bores who come to STAY
five minutes and stop an hour. From
the editorial and reportorial rooms all
the follies and shams of the world are
seen day by day, and the temptation is
TO believe neither in God, man, nor
woman. 1t is no surprise to me that in
your profession there are some skepti-
cal men. only wonder that you be-
Eeve anything. Unless an editor or a
reporter has in his present or In his

temporal and eternal shipwreck.

WARS EFFECT ON TRADE HERE.
How Wholesale Men Look at the
Situation.

How wholesale Men Look at the
situation.
While the subject of war is not given
serious consideration by the business in
terests of Savannah still the wholesale
men in many departments have stopped
to think of it's possible effect.
The greatest loss to them by a war with
Spain would be through the large number
of outstanding accounts, which would like
ly go unpaid, at least for a time. The
opinion of a wholesale grocery dealer.
with an eye on the future, is that the
farmers who feed the country merchants
would be disturbed in their crops, and
therefore rendered unable to settle ac-
counts. The natural result of this would
be the probable inability of the merchant
to settle with the jobber. Taken as a
whole, immense business would be tied
up for the time and collections made prac-
tically impossible.
The jobbers are aware, of course, that
war material could not be purchased here,
ions There would be quite an obstacle
to larger markets competing with Savan-
nah in furnishing provisions to an army
here, because the demand is generally in
limited lots. Unless a commissary officer
desired to go into the wholesale grocery
business, the jobbers think there would be
no question about the provisions being
bought here, notwithstanding the various
water lines which could handle large lots
of freight quickly and cheaply from East
ern houses. The fact the jobbers
buy in large shipments at one time would
give them the advantage in prices over
small orders made from the East, not
withstanding they were at reduced figures.
Vessels would be supplied from the near
est port, they think, as is the case with
those now on the Southeast coast and in
Havana harbor The nearest American
port is Key West, and while the grocery
stores there are small, still the location
gives them the advantage in point of this
class of trade Savannah jobbers would
doubtless compete for the business were
it not for the great risk necessarily as
sumed in delivering goods with a posi-
bilitv of the vessels sailing before they
arrive The Key West jobbers are now
supplied from New York by a direct line
of steamers, whereas the Savannah mer-
chants would have to deliver there, partly
by water and by rail. But the main bar
rier is said that if drummers were sent
from here and large orders obtained at
that Mace vessels to receive the goods
might be ordered Unexpectedly from ports
which would interfere with the delivery.
Several local jobbers now furnish vessels
with provisions, but they do not hunt for
them, because it does not generally pay.
The supply is made when necessity exists,
and this is apt to occur at any port.

rEsLA's VACUUM EQUALS THE sun.
a Wonderful Lisht-PrOducing In
vention of the Wizard.
From the Electrical Review.

From the Electrical REVIEW.
Nil1ola Tesla, the well-known electrician,
announces an important discovery. He
saws he has perfected vacuum tubes Of
such light illuminating power that they
may be used in lighthouses, and that they
win enable the photographer to work by
night as well as by day. He even sug-
eests that by means of this light the
painter may be able to distinguish colors
as wen al night as he can by the clear,
soft light Of day.
Tho result which Mr. Tesla has attained
represents sereval years Of patient eXper-
imenting. His work was somewhat re-
tared by the burning of his laboratory
in 1895 He is not yet ready to describe
his invention in detail He promises TO
10 SO soon. He always speaks in a con-
servative way of his discoveries l called
Yesterday at his laboratory. His bearing
was one of great citation.
.It is Of more importance" he SAID to
discover new principles, to find out scien-
tifc facts, than TO invent mere appli-
anccs'
The results which Mr.. Tesla has at
aimed have been achieved by the use OF
his vacuum tubes and his oscillator Inc
light which he is able 10 produce by ms
means is as bright as that OF the MONDAY
sun. BY It's use every line of the object
photographed may be made 10 stand out
clearly and distinctly
Mr.. Tesla has taken several photo
oraphs by this light which are repro
duced i'm the Electrical Review. 1 saw the
original photographs yesterday at the Of
Fee of the publication. Half tone engrav-
ing cannot begin to do justice TO the eA-
,rene clearness and delicacy Of these pho
.ayranl,s. Ii IS possible to give only a
s,trge4tton of the clearness Of the original

nose Of newspaper illustration.
