A SUGGESTION ON CAR LINES.
Take UD Whitaker Street Track and
Asphalt the Street.


Editor Morning News: Much has
been said OF recent date regarding
the street railway problem in Sa-
vannah, and I note that ii is now proposed
to operate the Whitaker street line indie
pendently and double track Barnard, max
Abercorn,
Would it not be much more beneficial to
the public. generally if the railway COM
pany would take up the Whitaker street
track entirely ard double track Barnard,
as proposed, making double-track belt
with Barnard and Abercorn, and let
Whitaker street be paved with asphalt or
other suitable paving material?
Whitaker street, in the first place. is
entirely too narrow for street car line
and other traffic, and the grant should
never have been made.
Secondly, the street car traffic of the
section trayersed by those lines is not so
great that it could not be accommodated
on the two streets Barnard and Aber-
corn. This double-track belt could accom-
modate many times the traffic of the Sec
ton, be much more satisfactory and less
Thirdly, the traffic of the city Is increas-
ing SO rapidly that the present paved
streets running north and south are now
unable to accommodate 1t successfully
Drayton street is often blocked for hun
dreds of yards with vehicles of various
kinds. The writer has seen traffic block
ed on Drayton street for three blocks.
Whitaker street paved would re-
heve Drayton street of much of
this traffic. And in addition to
this, the southern section of the city is
rapidly building up, and the necessary in
crease in traffic in consequence must be
provided for, and there is no other street,
by reason of squares, so available for this
as Whitaker without a car line. Again.
Whitaker and Drayton streets both paved
would relieve Bull street of much of the
bicycle traffic making it more safe and
comfortable for pedestrians as business
men going to and from their offices, and
bicyclists on business errands, would. as
rule, use Whitaker and Drayton streets
instead of Bull, as at present The heavy
traffic on Drayton street prevents il from
being more extensively used by bicyclists
now.
If our municipal authorities in co-opera-
ton with the railway company, could bring
about this result, it would be rendering a
great service TO the public generally
The present street car system in Savan-
nah is very confusing and unsa satisfactory
to the public generally, especially strang-
ers; and the railway company is standing
in its own light by maintaining IL. Only
recently the writer has had several strang-
ers TO tell him that they have stood on
Whitaker street waiting for a car going
north or on Barnard for a car going south.
until two or three cars would pass going
in the opposite direction when they would
get tired of waiting, or some one would
tell them that the cars run only i'm one di-
rection, and they would walk to their des-
tination; and 1 have heard several Savan-
nahians say that while ordinarily they
would rather ride, and would ride, they
very much prefer walking than being
bothered with the ears as they run now

HEAVY SENTENCE INFLICTED.
Recorder Imposes Fine of $50 Or 80
Days ON Lula McCIeIIand.

Recorder Imposes Fine of $50 or 80
Days ON Lula McCIelIand.
In the Police Court yesterday morning
the Recorder sentenced Lula McC9elland,
the proprietress of a lewd house on the
corner of Wayne and Jefferson streets, to
pay fine of $50 or serve thirty days in
Jail. The money was not produced and the
woman viii have to serve out her SEN
tence.
The offense of which she was convicted
is the keeping of disorderly house. Com
plants from residents of the neighborhood
nave been frequent during the last few
weeks and these eliminated last Sunday
in howl of protest, when one especially
enthusiastic soldier, after raising a most
unearthly row by other methods, fired five
shots from a revolver. The neighbors then
determined that patience had gone far
enough and had long ceased TO be Vir-
tue, and one of their number, Mr.. John
w. Golden, placed the house and the wo-
man who kept il upon the information
docket of the, Police Court.
The woman was arraigned before the Re
corder and was given a lecture and term
IN the lookup that may perhaps serve to
wean her from the evil of her ways. At
her and others of her ilk, that if, through
the desire of some good citizen to maintain
law and order, they are brought before
the Recorder, they will be fined in an
amount proportioned to the gravity of the
Offense.
Sam Harris, a member of Company d
OF the Fourth Tennessee, was sentenced to
pay fine of S. or serve ten days in Jail
Ior throwing rocks at William Livingston.
The soldier was a trife merry and it oc-
CURED to him that to rock an inoffensive
uarkey was a remarkably intelligent and
humorous joke. The Recorder convinced
him of his error.
It is probable that Mayor Myers will pre-
SIDE in Police Court this morning. in the
place Of Recorder Hartridge. The latter

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Questionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative. 7it1f
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant TO the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and

known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
