TURPENTINE HANDS MOVING.
BUSINESS OF THE RAILROADS Is
OPENING UP BRIsK.


Plant System Reports Parties of
Laborers Maving From the Caro-
Hnas to south Georgia and Florida.
During December the business
VIII BE at It's HIght-This Year
There VIII Be No Low Rate for
the Hands-West Could Not Have
Low Rates, So 1t Was Decided
That 1t Could Not BE Disseminated
Against in Favor of the south.
Operators Said to Have Difficulty
in Getting Hands.
The annual movement of turpentine
hands from the Carolinas to South Geor-
gla and Florida points has commenced.
The Plant System reports a considerable
movement from time TO time, and the
Florida Central and Peninsular is also
handling parties. Both lines do a consid-
cradle business with the hands during al
season. and the revenues of each are in
creased.
Mr.. j. II. Pohemus, city passenger
agent at Charleston for the Plant Sys-
TEN, is representing his line in the Caro-
linas. He is an old hand in the business,
and his efforts will doubtless result in
the Plant System securing large share
of the movement. The Florida Central
and Peninsular will have a representative
In the field in due season, it being a trifie
early, according TO a gentleman connected
with the road, to start man out on that
quest just now.
For the first time since the railroads
have been handling the hands there is no
cheap rate on from the Caro,inas 10 Flor
IDA and South Georgia points. Mr.. Fl. G.
McFadden, assistant general passenger
agent of the Plant System, was asked for
an explanation Of that fact He said it had
been found that strong movement of
laborers from the CaIolinas to Western
points had started up That matter was
discussed a { a recent meeting of the South
eastern Passenger Association. Reduced
rates could not be given to Texas and 9TH
er states in the West to which the move
ment Of hands is beginning, and for that
reason it was decided to l. ave the fun rate
from the Carollnas to South Georgia and
Florida in effect. The general passenger
agents did not see how they could discrim-
mate against the West by giving cheap
rates to the South.
December is the month during which the
movement Of hands from the Carolinas to
the southern turpentine farms becomes
strongest. Operators are then going up to
get parties of laborers together for the
trip TO the Southern pine lands. The
4NoN' VIII PIoDao4y nave doout as lat sc
a business this season as ever If they
do it will be found more profitable on ac-
count of the full rate prevailing instead
OF that of 2 cents a mile, which was con
coded for such movements until the mat
ter of the Western flight of Iaborers came
up to interfere with the continuance of the
rate.
A railroad man said the other day that
the producers are finding a great deal OF
trouble in getting hands in the neighbor-
hood of their stills. Greater difficulty than
usual, in fact, IS encountered, and in this
the railroad man believes will be business
for the lines, as the producers win be
compelled to secure their hands from the
CarClinas.

Sisters of Mercy Have Plans Drawn
for the building.
Definite steps have been taken for the
enlargement of st. Josephs Hospital. The
>.vrn.ng News, from time to time, has
mentioned the intention of the Sisters TO
add to the facilities of the hospital, and
their plans are rapidly assuming a phase
that will result in ground soon being brok
en- for the work.
A handsome addition will be built. The
plans for the building have been drawn,
and are in the hands of Capt. Henry Blum,
who was asked by the Sisters to look over
them and give his opinion as to pny
changes or alterations that should be
made. Capt. Blum said yesterday that the
plans have not yet been approved, but
that IT is very likely the style Of building
and requirements will be agreed upon
shortly and bids asked for the construc-
ton.
The building will be three stories, and
of brick, with stone trimmings. Capt. Blum
says it will have all the latest conven-
fences and appointments for hospital pur-
poses. 1t will occupy the property the Sis
tors of Mercy own between the present
hospital and Lincoln street. The two
buildings will be connected by a covered
passage, and will occupy the half block
between Habersham and Lincoln.

Philadelphia, Nov. 6.-The Norwegian

sailor while in Jamaica.
She is a Haytian by adoption. She said
that while her native land is civilized, the
interior Is not, and that cannibalism ex-
lists there.

poses to have suits brought in the coun-
ty of which the plaintiff is a resident The
present law directs that the suit be en-
tered in the county where the accident or
other cause for complaint may have trans
pired, and that is regarded far more IA
vorably by the railroads than the plan Of
fered to supersede 1t.
Mr.. Halls bill contemplates having suits
brought where the plaintiffs are surround
ed by their friends. That is what the at
torney says, and he holds that the chances
for a verdict in favor of the plaintiff is
vastly increased under such circumstances.
1t would be far preferable. the attorney
says, TO have the suits brought in the
county in which cause may have been Civ
en-, as under the Hall bill. if it passes
the Senate and is ratified, greater expense
and trouble in the trials will result. Wit
nesses will have to leave their homes for
the county in which the plaintiff resides,
thereby involving trouble for them and
costs for one side or the other.
Another measure proposed by Mr.. Hall
Is alarming to railroad attorneys and 9TH
ers as well 1t Is that stripping judges of
the Superior Court of their right to direct
verdicts, and the General judiciary Com
mittee has always reported favoraby upon
it. The railroad attorney says Mr.. Hall
is aiming at the roads again, basing his
statement upon the view that the repre-
himself antagonistic to the roads since he
severed his connection with one of the
lines entering Macon as Its counsel.
"Why, that will give every razorback
lawyer in the country the very chance he
wants" said the attorney. "They will be
bringing suits based on absolutely no Just
claim, and the judge will be unable to
throw them out of court. II a Judge can't
direct a verdict in favor of railroad In
a suit am quite sure some juries would
let all questions of right fly to the winds
and bring in a verdict for plaintiff in the
most absurd suit. Such a verdict secured,
the lawyer would want to settle with the
road to keep the case from the Supreme
Court"

Hall of Bibb Fathers Two That Are
Gazed at Askance.
The Hall bill that mas passed the House
of Representatives at Atlanta relative to
the bringing of suits against railroads is
an abomination in the sight of railroad
attorneys and officials. They believe the
measure is aimed directly az the roads and
calculated to aid lawyers who are always
on the lookout for case to bring against
the corporations.
A gentleman of the firm of leading coun-
sci for one of the lines said yesterday that
the bill has been enormously reported as
one intended to have, suits against rail-
roads brought in those counties where the
home offices of the lines are located. That
would not be such unfavorable legislation
for the railroads. and from all accounts
and reports that are received of his work
In the Legislature there is nothing Repre-
sentative Hall of Bibb would execrate with
more vehemence than anything tending
to help the roads. That is what the at
torney had TO say, and his Interpretation
of the proposed measure is that 1t will
initiate strongly against the railroads Sc
curing justice when cases are brought
against them in damage or other suits.
