A-gigantic scheme is on: foot to buy
up the vast timber and mineral lands
throughout West Virginia and eastern
Tennessee and build railroads to all the
principal points to open them up to
trade. There are millions of dollars in
terested in the project. There are
thousands of acres of the richest lands
in the world lying idle in that section
because of the lack of railroad facili-
ties. Northern and English capital is
back of the scheme.

DIR. Drummer says something like a dozen
inspectors will be required. There will be
at least two for every line entering the
city. The points 10 which the inspectors
will run out have been extended over
those adopted when the city last quar-
antined, which was in 1897. on the Flor
ida Central and Peninsular, on the north.
either Fairfax or Garnett will be the place
where the inspectors will leave the north
bound for the south-bound trains, while
the point to the south on that line VIII be
Everett. on the Charleston and Savau-
nah IL viii be Vaudeville, and for one or
two trains probably Yemassee. Guyton
will be The point on the Central, while
for the Georgia and Alabama it will be
Helena. The last named road is the one
which will be watched most carefully
of ALL
The places that have been named will
see but little of the inspectors. as the
plan has been so arranged as to keep them
on the trains near.y all the time. While
one inspector after boarding a train, is
on his way into the city, his working mate
on the same line win be outward bound.
1t is not known, of course, how long
the quarantine Is to last. That will de-
pend upon how long the situation is re-
garded as sufficiently dangerous to require
germs and, if the fever should hold our
until then and quarantine should last, the
history of the fever situation this year
and in 1897 win be rather similar. 1t was
but two days earlier in 1897 that Council
declared quarantine against the places in
fected.
DR.. Drummer said that he recognizes no
necessity now of quarantining against
freight other than the classes mentioned
in the recommendation of the sanitary
board. That is because of the isolation of
the cases existing at the several places
infected. Should the disease become more
widespread it is probable the quarantine
would extend also to freight from the
places guarded against.
One alderman said he disliked very much
to put on quarantine, his objection being
due to the expense ID entails However,
he said ne did not care to assume the res
possibility of opposing it. AS an obstacle
10 business, the alderman does not think
quarantine is TO be considered. In no way
does 1t interfere with that of Savannah.
while there are branches that are helped
by the existence of fever at other ports.
Cotton, for instance, will come into Savan-
nah that would have gone to New Or
leans. the difficulty of exporting it from
that city preventing its shipment there
The Mayor advises that people leaving
Savannah be sure to secure certificates
from the health officer. Wherever they go
he advises they obtain the stamp of the
authorities to show they have been in no
infected territory For visitors coming
into the city the Mayor and health officer
decided the certificate of the postmaster
and station agent Of the nearest town to
their homes may be secured by those liv-
ing In the country. while the regularly is
sued health certificates Of the larger
places Will be recognized.

IN A BROOKLYN ARMORY.
The Georgia Troops VIII BE Quar-
tered when They Arrive.

Col A. r. Lawton, First Regiment. In
fantry, Georgia Volunteers, whom the
Governor has designated to command the
troops from this state who may go to
New York, to take part in the parade in
honor of Admiral Dewey, will issue his or
ders and instructions from that city From
Atlanta where he was present during the
trial of the Middle Georgia and Atlantic
case, Col. Lawton went direct to New
York.
1t will probably not be long before some
sort of information is received by the
Georgia companies expecting to go to New
York, from Col. Lawton. There are yet
points upon which they would like to be
informed. on one they were enlightened
yesterday, or at least those in Savannah
were by the receipt of a letter by Capt.
j. 7. West of the Savannah Cadets from
Col. Jordan f. Brooks. Col. Brooks said
the armory of the Fourteenth New York
Regiment has been set apart for the ac-
commodation of the companies from Geor-
gia.
Cots will be placed in the building which
is said TO be a very commodlous affair.
1t is in Brooklyn, and in that rests the
principal objection, as the Georgia boys
would prefer DelnS located IN New DIX
proper, They feel as if they might miss
something by being slde-tracked in the
city of baby carriages, trolley cars and
churches
New York, with all its greatness, will
be pushed to accommodate all the troops
that will be there to be entertained An
overflow was necessary and the Geor-
CLANS are really lucky to have it in Brook
Ign instead of some other outlying Dor
ough where sights are even "A greater Gu
riosity. A ferry boat will be provided to
take the military on Saturday, the day OF
the parade, from Brooklyn TO the point
whore the line will start out on its great
show.
Capt. West understands that a dollar a
day Is what the men will get from the
central committee in New York, and win
that they will be expected to provide the.r
own entertainments in the way of restau,
rant or hotel fare. OF course. they may &c
deeper and probably will. but that Is nc
