The Prnirie Schooner.

Slow was the weary, toilsome way,
Where creaked the heavy laden vain,
Quaint follower Of the speeding day,
Across the plain.
White canvas covers, bulging, fair,
lnclosed fond hearts s-throb with Joy;
The builders Of an empire there
Found safe convoy.
Along its course child voices sweet
Marked all the strangeness II each scene,
While parents sought new homes TO greet
With WHOM keen.
No luxury or ease was here
To lap the traveller into rest,
But stanch it bore the pioneer
On towarL me west.
Deserted now, its ragged sails
Are furled; the port has long been won.
Sport OF the boisterous, hurrying gales,
Through cloud and sun.
Unused, forlorn and gray, IL stands
A faded wreck cast far ashore,
The MayHower of the prairie lands,
Its journey Ger.

A, the sum Went Down.

Two soldiers lay on the battlefield
At night when the sun vent down.
One held lock Of thin gray hair,
And one held lock Of brown.
One thought Of his sweetheart back at horns
Happy and young and gay,
And one Of his mother lett alone,
Feeble and old and gray.
Each in the thought that a woman cared
Murmured prayer to God,
Lifting his gaze 10 the blue above,
There on the battle sod.
Each in the Joy Of woman's love
Smiled through the pain OF death,
Eurmured the sound Of a woman's name,
Though with his parting breath.
Pale grew the dying lips Of each.
Then, as the sun went down,
One kissed lock OF thin gray hair,
And one kissed lock Of brown.

GEMS IN VERSE.


Who dwells within shadowed vale
Knows only grass and tree,
The mowers scythe, the milkmaid's pail,
The streamlet flowing free;
OF sky slender, shining space;
The tiny wren, the sparrow;
The world is but little space,
How narrow. oh, how narrow!
But he who breathes keen mountain air
Views spreading field and wood;
There spired cities glisten fair.
Here eagles find their food.
Above him clouds are vast and cool;
Afar dim seas abide.
OF rushing thoughts his soul is full,
For earth and heaven are wide.

$4,000 FIRE.
Plant of the Akron Brick
and Tile Company
Was Destroyed by Fire Early Sunday
Morning.

Morning.
The Akron Brick and Tile company
owned by w. 7. and Alfred Akers,
and located on Irwin ST., was destroyed
by fire at 2;30 o'clock Sunday morn
ing.
The boiler and drying rooms, the
manufacturing room, sheds and kilns
We're completely burned out. The loss
will. reach $4,000, partially insured.
The origin of the fire Is a mystery.
The owners of the plant are inclined
to believe that 1t was the work Of
fire bugs. 1t is claimed that tramps
possibly built a fire in the stove in one
of the departments and in this way
started the fire.
The iremen say that people living
pear the plant heard an explosion be,
fore the fire broke out.
Mr.. w. 7. Akers stated Monday
morning that nothing had yet been
done to estimate the loss. He did not
know the exact amount of insurance
carried on the plant. Mr.. Akers said
the company would rebuild.

NEW OIL MILL FOR aUITMAN.
Part of the Capital stock of 100000
Has Been Subscribed.


Quitman, Ga, March 31.-The cotton seed
oil mill, which has been agitated by the
business men of Quitman lately will be
built.
Mr.. John Mallock of Savannah was here
to-day in conference with several of our
business men In regard to the proposed
mill, and a meeting was held tonight
at which the necessary capital was raised
for the construction of the plant. A stock
company, capitalized al $4,000, will be or
gained. with the privilege of increasing
the capital to $4,000.
About ST., 600 was SUBSCRIBED at to-nights
meeting and the remainder Gould have
been easily secured, but it was decided TO
give the farmers and Others who were not
present an opportunity to secure stock.
Application for charter for the company
will probably be made in the. course of
short time and the preliminary steps taxi
en- towards erecting the necessary build
ings. The men behind che movement are
among the most prominent citizens, and
the success of the new enterprise is as
sured.
The barn and contents of Miles Albritton,

COMPLYING WITH THE LAW.
AILROADS FITTING CARS WITH
AIRBRAKEs AND COUPLINGS.

Time for Compliance With the Act
of Congress- Has Been Fixed for
Aug. 1-They Have Already Been
Two or Three Extensions - The
Task Is One of No Mean Magnitude.
n All Freight Cars Used in Interstate
Service Must BE So Equipped-Cen-
trail Is Fitting Ten Cars Day
With Airbrakes-Its Freight Cars
Already Have Automatic Coup
Iings.
The railroads must have the freight
cars they use in interstate service equip
ped with air brakes and automatic coup
lings by Aug. l. That date is the final
limit that has been allowed the roads, and
prosecutions in United States courts may
follow if the provisions of the act of
Congress calling for the equipment have
not ben complied with by that time.
Several extensions of time have been
granted the railroads The task of so
! equipping all their freight cars was one
of no easy accomplishment. Originally
a date that was ridlculously near was
named but the roads readily secured a
Reinforcement when they showed some
had been imposed One or two more de-
laws and extensions were granted, but it
is now understood that Aug. l is final
n congress passed the bill upon the recon-
mendat ton of the Interstate Commerce
Commission which believed that such
measures should be adopted for the safe
til of the railroads employees. The appli-
ances named are the latest that have
been devised to add to the chances of
chose who ride on freight trains. The cost
Of equipping thousands of cars is great
yet the railroads seem disposed to comply
with the demands of the act without any
great dissa tsfaction.
An advantage to the railroads after the
cars are so equipped, will be the probable
ity of fewer damage suits brought by en-
poyes or their families If wrecks can
be reduced in frequency. manitestly there
will be fewer employees to be provided for
because of injuries. 1t is also probable
that a freight train equipped with air
brakes and automatic couplings, can be
Hoperated by a smaller crew, representing
saving in pay.
> The lines that traverse this section are
looking to the proper equipment of their
4 freight cars. They do not want TO find
themselves liable to fines when Aug. l
has come. The Central is working hard
to get all of it's cars fitted up as required.
and it is believed this will be done within
the requisite time.
General Superintendent T. D. Kline said
Yesterday that Ave cars a day are being
fitted up at the Savannah shops and FIVE
at the Macon shops with the air brakes.
From the manufacturers of air brakes
1000 have been ordered by the road. There
has been a difficulty. owing to the great
demand, in getting the air brakes, and
even yet they cannot be secured as rapidly
as wanted
The Central will not need to fit up its
freight cars with automatic couplings, as
that was done long ago. Air brakes will
not necessarily have to be put on cars
used for hauling freight in any one state.
IT Is for the cars employed in the inter-
State business that the law demands the
3new appliances.

tatiOn to MIR. BOuchard.

tation to Mr.. BOuchard.
A meeting of the employees of the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway was held last
night at Labor Hall, at Bryan and Aber-
corn streets, at which a very pleasant
incident occurred. The meeting was call
ed to order by Mr.. John W. Smith, who
called Mr.. Bouchard, the retiring general
foreman of the motive department, TO the
'front.' and addressed him as follows:
Il have been requested by the employees
of the Central of Georgia Railway shop
to act as their representative in express
ing TO you their high appreciation of 4he
many acts of Kindness which you have
bestowed upon them during your admins
tration of the position general fore
man of the Savannah shops, and while
strictly adhering to what you believed
to be the right, you were ever mindful of
the duty you owed to them, as we'll as
the great corporation of which you were
a valued employe. In the broad field of
mechanical science, as it exists in the
present day, you will find that the highest
type of educational skill, answering pur-
pose, and strict devotion to duty, all lead
to higher development of the mechanic,
and better fits him as factor of useful
ness for me to remind you of the fact
that all of us, each and every one, wish
you success and prosperity in your bust
ness venture, and assure you, that at all
times, you will find us ever ready to ex-

'All of those who surround you this ev
ening have watched you in the past and
now when severing your official relations
with them have determined that the last
watch shall be a gold one. and still not
satisfied they will chain you also, in order
10 bind you closer to them by the strong
chain of unbroken friendship, whose
bright links have been welded in the fires
of pleasant associations and tried eX-
perience. In behalf of the employees of
the Central of Georgia Railway. accept
this slight testimonial Of their respect and
esteem"
Mr. Smith then presented Mr.. Bouchard
a handsome gold watch. chain and charm.
Mr. Bouchard was affected by the ex-
preston of respect and esteem and thank
ed his former fellow employees kindly for
their testimonial, and stated that for ten
years he had tried to do his duty, and
wished them all the success possible and
asked that they extend 10 his successor
the same service and support they had
given him.
