AMERICAN ~PRE-EMINENCE,
United States Ahead of Other Nations
in Bridge Building,


Americans are twenty years in ad-
vanc of other nations Except Canada)
in the art Of bridge design and con-
struction: The steel of which a bridge
is made represents about half of it's
cost. Steel is now made in the United
States at much less cost than in any
other country. In Britain, labor is so
much hampered by trades-unionism
thai IL IS adm1o...H hv one of the lead
ers that the cosgt Of labor in making
steel in the United States is not one
half of what it is in Britain. This can
pc said also of the labor employed in
manufacturing: The market for bridges
is far greater in the United States
than elsewhere. The states have now
!So'ooO miles of railways, and it has
oeen estimated that there is an average
or n span of metallic bridge for every
three miles Of railway. This gives g.
ooo bridges on existing lines, without
including those required for new lines.
Inc Increase in the United States of
the weight of cars and engines has re-
suited IN wonderful economic changes.
Inc average rate Of freights on Amer
lean railways was in 1867 a little over
20 per ton. Now it averages IS cents.
Any one can figure the saving on 976,-
ooo,GoO of tons Of freight moved in
1850. These larger cars carry double
the paying load of the old mes that
they have superseded, and more power
tul engines draw more cars in a train.
yhls INCREASE of weight of rolling stock
has led to the reIiewal of the So, 900 old
bridges by stronger and heavier ones.
Ihls demand has brought into exis-
tence many bodybuilding companies,
and they can well afford to equip them
selves with the best labor-saving and
accufate-working machinery, regard
less OF first cost, as they know it
would seldom if ever lie idle. European
Drlage builders are not in this position.
trains have not increased in weight as
they haye' in America. The old bridges
answer their purpose, and the demand
mas been chiefly confined to new ones.
Bridge building is merely an adjunct
to other business, and possibly the
owners are wise in not investing much
capital in special tools.-T. G. Clarke,
IN the Engineering Magazine.

g FALSE FACE.

When dyspepsia fastens on a man it
changes his feelings and it changes his
looks. He frowns now instead OF smil-
ing. His expression is harsh instead of
kindly. He is wearing q false face-a
face which does injustice to the real
nobility of his nature.

man of such standing and experience to
be the first Superintendent OF Insurance
under the code, and therefore, to set up
the first Insurance Department of the Dis
trict of Columbia. They have been par
ticularly desirous to get q first-class man
to begin this work. in order that It might
from the first be a model, and might grow
to be the best insurance department in
the country. They realized that the sal
ary of the office. $500, was inadequate
for such a man as ought TO be secured,
and have recommended in their estimates
to Congress that II be increased to at
least $3.50. and they realized that the
provisions of the law for the operation
o! the department were inadequate, but be-
lieved that the right mar as superinten-
dent OF its WORK would be able to get all
reasonably necessary amendments.
No Politics in Appointment.
'The Commissioners determined at the
beginning that politics should have moth
ing to do with the appointment and that
It was clear case where the Office should
seek the man. The announcement of this
last spring by Commissioner Macfarland,
who had immediate charge of the matter
kept political and other candidates away
for the most part
resentative of the Board, met great DIFF
ficulty In finding suitable man who would
take the place. Naturally, he and the
other Commissioners wanted a District
man. If they could get one. But Ii was
found TO be impraeticable TO get q Dis
trict man with all the qualifications who
would accept the insufficient salary on the
chance OF its being increased by Congress
at some time in the future Men upon
tgh nm all ftnfo
sounded, only 20 find that they were not
willing to serve. One man seemed about
to accept, but after consideration declined
After that, District men Interested
could not agree upon anyone. and pro-
tests were made against every one Of
three or four men whom the Commission
ers were known to be considering. The
Commissioners were then advised to look
outside the District and especially for
some good man in some good State IN
surance department. After several inef-
fectual efforts with others. the Commits

WILL BREW TOMORROW.
Herman winters Brewery to Turn
Out Two New Brews.


The brewery recently constructed by
Herman Winter, at his place on the
Thunderbolt road, will be in full OPP
Grafton tomorrow morning and the
latest product in the shape of beer will
be put on the market. The new brew
cry is said to be the most modern and
best equipped in the South The en-
terprise cost Mr.. Winter several thous-
and dollars, and, as far as possible, all
of the material used in its construc-
ton was purchased in Savannah.
Mr.. Winter built the first brewery
in the South in this city in 1889. and
has been identified with other enter
prises. The new brewery is located on
a piece of land made attractive by
Mr. Winter. who purchased it when 1t
was little more than a bog. Both of
the beers that are being brewed are
new to Savannahians, but are popular
beverages in other parts Of the coun-
try.
The Pilsner beer is so called from the
European city and is made of Bohem-
ian hops and Canadian malt. 1t is a
light lager beer. Mr.. Winters brew
master is a native Of Bohemia and was
brought to Savannah from the West to
look after the brewing department of
the new enterprise. The Weiss beer
| is a non-alcohoiic drink and is some
thing quite new In Savannah. AS a
temperance drink, 1t is popular in Eu-
rope and in the North and West. 1t is
an extract of pure malt and hops
which has not undergone the stage of
fermentation. Mr.. Winters nephew,
II. Herman Stab, superintended the
building of the brewery and is general
manager.

Editor of the Morning News: In
common with other readers of the
Morning News I was interested In Mr..
Ashmore's tabulated statement Of the
residences of the Governors of Geor-
gia since the Revolution, showing that
for more than half a century the Office
has been kept In North Georgia all Of
the time.
Later, in reading Mr.. Brantley's in
terview in which he clearly shows that
our brethren in North Georgia have
CARRIED sectionalsm in this respect to
the extreme point, and that it was
time IL was broken up and broad and
liberal policy pursued which recognized
the rights of all sections of the state,
to participate in the government, /
could not see how any fair-minded man
could dissent from his views.
Some of your readers will doubtless
be surprised to know that there is
little nest of politicians right here in
Chatham county who are plotting and
scheming to defeat any South Georgia
man for Governor. They are opposed
to any South Georgia man, no matter
who he is, and they are Matching a
conspiracy to beat all of the South
Georgia candidates with North Geor-
gia man.
What is the use of the people of
South Georgia trying to land Estill or
Turner or any other South Georgia
man in the Governors Office. when
there is a handful of conspirators down
in the hold of the ship boring holes
in her bottom?
