The Russian minister of Ways of
Communication has devised a novel
way of utilizing the automobile which
would seem to promise great future.
He proposes to make it provide means
Of rapid transit for passengers, and
freights in sections where there are no
railways but into which good roads
may be built. In his experiments he
used an ordinary three-horse power au-
tonobile, which easily pulled a cart
laden with bricks and workingmen, the
whole weighing nearly two tons. A ten
or fifteen horse power automobile, he
says, could easily draw a train of sew
eral carts or wagons. The government
will lay auto" tracks of wood in the
agricultural districts for the purpose
Of conducting further experiments.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Birmingham Age Herald Dem)
says Georgia is endeavoring to re-
form it's constitution by the amend
ment route, and the Legislature which
is in session is preparing a series of
propositions that will be submitted to
the people of the next state election.
One of the proposed amendments pro-
vides that the term of Governor be
changed from two to four years, and
that he be ineligible for four years
after the expiration of his term
Thus is the new constitution of Ala
bama vindicated. Alabama, however
goes further by making a governor in
eligible to reelection, and he cannot
be elected to the United States Senate
during his term or within one year
from it's expiration. The chief trouble
in all states is that a governor who
has about run his course in the execu-
tive Office goes to plotting for a term
in the Federal Senate, subordinating
the public service TO his private
scheme. deceiving himself with the
assumption that no one could serve
the state so well at Washington as he
The new Alabama constitution cuts of
all such scheming and plotting in Of

do well to put an end to the evil in
its state"

Torpedo tubes and superposad turrets
are not to be included in the plans
of the new warships of the heavier
types. For torpedo to prove effective
it must be launched at short range.
Modern battleships and cruisers
do not fight at short range
The proper craft to carry tor
pedoes are the remarkably fast little
boats that have been designed for the
especial purpose, that can run in and
deliver their projectiles and quickly get
away again The Naval Board of Con-
struction has reached the conclusion
that the space heretofore given to tor
pedo equipments on the battleships
and cruisers can be put to better use.
Superposed turrets are to go, because
the board does not thing their merit
has been demonstrated in the ships
equipped with them.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. DECEMBER 2 1901

1t has been the custom of Congress
to grant the widows of deceased Pres
idents a pension of $1,000 a year. 1t
is alleged an effort will be made to in
duce the coming Congress to withhold
this gratuity from the widow of the
late President Harrison. 1t will be
argued that the widow was not the
wife of Gen. Harrison during the time
that he was President, therefore she
is not entitled to receive a pension
from the government. The opposition.
it is understood, will come from the
family of Gen. Harrison and his first
wife. The understanding is that Gen.
Harrison, prior to his second marriage,
divided his fortune between his chill
dren. and thereafter went to work 20
make a new fortune for his new fam
lily. If that is correct, it would seem
that the members of the first family
ought not to hold any grudge against
the second one.

Dragged bN a Horse.

Galena Gazette, July !: George
McCabe, a young farmer residing
near Benton, had a terrible expert
ence on Monday evening, which came
near costing him his life. He was
leading spirited colt to water when
it suddenly reared and plunged in an
effort to get away. In some manner
the halter strap had formed a hitch
about Mr.. MCCabe's hand, and when
he found that he was unable to con-
troll the animal he also discovered
that he could not letgo of the strap.
After having been dashed and drag
ged about for some minutes a slack in
the strap caused by quick turn of
the colt caused his hand to become re-
leased just in time to save what little
life there was left in him. A physi-
clan was hastily summoned from
Benton TO attend the terribly injured
man. Though his condition is very
serious, it is believed by the ply
stefan that he will recover.
