FREE BATH HOUSES AT TYBEE.
What MIR. Graham Has TO Say About
the Matter.

Savannah, Ga, June 24.-Editor Morn
ing News: In reading your paper of the
oath instant 1 saw the interview with Mr.
Egan. in reference to Tybee Island and
Hotel Tybee, relative to the necessity for
another hotel, and free bath houses on
Tybee Island, thinking it an imposition
for the people to have 10 pay for the use
of the bath houses,
If they knew the expense attached TO
running bath houses there would be no
necessity for this criticism, as the ex-
penses are heavy. You have TO consider
the cost of the following: Wafer tower
and tank 10 furnish water for same, en-
gineer, fireman and fuel, bathing SUITS,
towels help to attend to them, cost OF
rebuilding them every season, after the
winter storms, locks and keys several
times a season, building board walks, fur
nishing a band of music, at cost OF 500
per month, and good fish supper for 40
cents, is more than Tybee ever had prior
to my going there three years ago.
In reference to hotel rates, they are as
low as they ever have BEEN or ever VIII
be, whether l run the hotel or anyone
else. thai expects to pay their bills, with
the excessive freight charges they have
10 nay on every article that goes TO Ty-
bee.
If Mr.. Egan thinks Tybee is good
thing, and wants the hotel, now Is The
chance for him, or anyone else that wants
it. Before bought Hotel Tybse, the pub
lie used to so TO St Simons and Curnber-
land Islands, and Tybee was dead After
spent my money and improved Tybee.
and am doing a good business, the Morn
ing News and Mr.. Egan give me lot OF
encouragement by advocating opposition
and telling the peopie 10 take down tents
and ignore the hotel; but when they DO
it will be like when the railroad built the
large pavilion before, who will furnish
the music?
Beware of hospital tents and dreaded
diseases. Charles F. Graham,
Proprietor.

Bluestem VS.. Fife Wheat.

Some years ago, says the Walla Walla
Statesman, the raising of Fife wheat
was all the rage among farmers, and
many carloads were imported from
Dakota, as No. 1 Fife always held the
top price in the market, as it contained
a larger percentage of gluten than our
wheat. But of late years millers do
not care for it, and winter Fife ia
quoted l cent below club or bluestem; /;
still it is good winter wheat, as there
is little danger of its freezing out.
Scotch Fife is still used as a mixture
for export.
