The Vanderbilt stocks were the features
OF the list in every way New York Central
quickly went to 40 from below 1873, and
was bought In round lots. Northwest ad-
vanced TO $50 early in the day, and the
Union Pacifcs were strong. Big Four how
yer, was the best Of the list. with quick
advance and very large buying. Before
noon it had gotten above SO. from low
on Saturday of 80. and an opening this
morning at 5? and fraction. There is talk
of the probability that the long talked of
deal between Big Four. Chesapeake and
Ohio, and possibly Wabash may be con-
summated this week. and activity in Ches-
apeake seemed to lend color to the story
when Big Four began to climb. Three Cs''

BEER PRIVILEGE FIGHT.
Board of Control VIII Not Recede
From order Against II.

Columbia, S. c. Sept. 16.-The action OF
the state board of control in decreeing
that after Nov. all beer privilege es-
adjustments shall be closed is meeting
with strong opposition in ali quarters, bur
there is no likelihood of the board chang
ing its decision.
These privileges" have been running
for more than three years and there
really has never been the shadow Of legal
authority for their establishment under
the dispensary system. One was permit
ted in Charleston for the thirsty Germans
then one crept into Columbia and so they
have come Till now there are about thirty
beer privilege stores in the state each
representing the outlay of considera bic
capital
The privileged establishments have been
privileged, indeed. under the dlspensary
law. They were under dispensary control
and paid no royalty, but the dispensary
received a royalty of Is cents
per dozen on all beer Sold and
the profit 20 the state was quite handsome,
while the royalty did not fail heavily on
the privilege men because they had a large
trade. many having monopolies and had
no liquor license to pay.
When prohibtionists made vigorous
protests against the esta blishment of these
beer privileges they were pacifed by the
statement that il was done to decrease
drunkenness. but when reports came in Of
the thousands and thousands of dozens OF
beer sold the temperance people lost faith
and have been steadily fighting the free
sale OF beer.
In the coming fight that will be made on
the dispensary in the legislature next win
ter. the beer privileges would have been
valuable point of attack, and ii is be-
lieved the action of tine board at this time
is TO eliminate that question.
The privilege houses are supplied with
horses, delivery wagons, clerks and store
rooms the latter being leased for the year
In Charleston and Columbia there are
nine Of these esta blishmeuts. Blind tig-
ers viii suffer as it was easy for them TO
procure their beer from the privilege
houses II has been generally supposed
chat liquor was sold along with most of
the beer.

the city and the Chattahoochee river.

WILL RUN ITS EXCURSIONS.
City Gives the Central Railroad the
Desired Permission.


Desired Permission.
The Central of Georgia Railroad win not
be restricted by the recently instituted
quarantine regufa tons from rum ng two
excursions to Savannah one from Macon
and points Intermediate to Millen, Sept. IS,
and The other from Waynesbogo and points
intermediate TO Savannah, Sept. 10. These
excursions the Central Of Georgia has besn
al work upon for some weeks and has
thoroughly advertised. They are the an
nual harvest excursions usually run TO Sa-
vannah in September
The Central, not wishing to conflict in
any manner with the city officials in re-
gard TO quarantine regulations, laid the
matter before DR.. Drummer and the Mayor
explaining its position, stating that the ex-
cursions had been thoroughly advertised
al the stations and, if they were not 10 be
run the railroad might be placed in a bad
light with great many out-of- Town peo-
pie who would probably not understand the
reasons for cancelhng.
1t was explained that, in addition to such
failure, it would disappoint a great many
country people, accustomed TO taking adj
vantage of the excursions, who had seen
the advertisements and who probably
would not learn of the quarantine restric-
closely on the heels of the apphca ton of
quarantine In addition TO this the rail-
road officials stated that almost the entire
business would move from strictly local
stations east of Macon and Waynesboro
and there could be no danger of any IN
lection being brought in, as the passen-
gers who would travel on the excursions
are strictly home people.
The merchants of Savannah appreciate
excursions of this sort and are benefited
materially by them.
After the consultation permission was
given the railroad to run these two ex-
cursiOns and passengers on the special
excursion trains need not necessarily hold
health certificate
Specially appointed inspectors will come
down with the trains, however and will
be prepared to thoroughly protect Savan-
nah under the guidance of DR.. Drummer
The Central has granted very low excur-
sion rates to Savannah and return from
the territory, with limit on tickets two
days from date of sale, and a large num-
Der of excursionists are expected.
