ENGLISH PROMOTER HERE.
DIR. Harris Tells of the Plans of His
Big Development Company.

DIR. Harris Tells of the Plans of His
Big Development Company.
DR.. S. D. Harris, the English gen.
tleman who is now in this state in the
interest of the British Southern States
Cattle, Abattoir and Produce Company
was one of the party which came down
from Atlanta with the legislative ex-
cursion. An account of the plans of
this company has already been given
in the Morning News. 1t is commonly
spoken of as the Upton scheme and
1t is proposed to invest large amount
of English capital in farming lands in
Georgia and in the development of a
cattle and produce industry for the
purpose of supplying the English mar
ket.
DR.. Harris, when seen by a Morning
News reporter, confirmed in a general
way most of the information which has
been given out concerning the purpose
of the company. though he said he
would have much preferred to have
kept the matter quiet for the present.
1T is a mistake to speak of this en-
terprise as Sir Thomas Lipton's COM
pany," said DR.. Harris. Our only con-
nection with the Upton Company,
Limited, is that several of the direc-
tors of the Upton Company are also
directors of the Cattle. Abattoir and
Produce Company, and to this extent
our interests are associated. 1t is
doubtless true that the Upton COM
pany would be our best customer in
England after we have begun opera
tions. Our purpose is to buy up large
tracts of farming land for development
and to place upon them thrifty settlers,
N oil ch and
others, who will, under the direction
of the company's agents produce the
supplies desired and for which there
is an ample demand. A large central
abattoir and packing house will be
built and number of cold storage
plants throughout the state, so that
we may take the farmers products as
he brings them to us and keep them In
condition for shipment. We have al
ready secured options on about 125,OOo
acres of land in this state"
DR.. Harris said that he was the pro-
moter of the company and that il was
largely his own idea. His father-in-law,
Mr.. H. j. Lamar of Macon, is the only
American director, the other directors
being prominent English financiers
who will supply the capital. This is to
be one million sterling, or in round
figures, $4,000, 900. The company's
plan includes a line of steamers run
ming from Savannah to London to ham
die the business of the company.
1t was learned last night that State
Treasurer r. E. Park, who -accampa-
MED the Governor to Savannah, had
given an option to DR.. Harris on 5000
acres of land in Lee county. DR.. Har-
ris also has an Endorsement of his
scheme by Gov. Gambler, which was
secured during the day.

what kind of food to supply their boys

of the experience of some mothers in
the selection of food that actually does

A school girl in Springfield, Mass,
writes: II wonder if you care to hear

call for condemnation.
''Is a commanding officer away from
home" he asked, ito be stripped of
every prerogative that he ought to pos
sess, in order to determine upon the
eXigencies of the occasion? If he acts
honestly, according to the best judg-
ment and light that he has, is he to be
branded and consigned to ignominy be-
cause some one else in the same situa-
ton might have adopted different
course? 1t is easy enough at this
hour to pass a criticism upon the
conduct of the campaign. His con-
duct, however, is not to determine
what is the condition of our minds
to-day. but what was the condition of
Admiral Schley's mind at the hour
when the events took place"
Mr.. Rayner then took up the con-
sideration of specifica ton four, cover
ing the circumstances attending the
arrival of the Flying Squadron off
Santiago, the reason for it's retrograde

The sigsbee Conference.
Mr.. Rayner referred at length to the
meeting of Commodore Schley with
Capt. Sigsbee, then in command OF the
st. Paul, upon the arrival of the Fly
ing Squadron off Santiago. Speaking
Of the captain he said:
"A more honest witness than he new
er took the witness stand, nor is there
a more gallant and efficient officer in
the navy than he is. Unfortunately
he has gotten himself into a predica-
ment because, against him is an over
whelming array of testimony in refer
ence to the communications he held
with Commodore Schley off Santiago,
and which absolutely justify the admit
raj in taking the course he did,"
Mr.. Rayner said the scouts were
there for the purpose of finding out
if the Spanish fleet was in Santiago.
the same purpose that Commodore
Schley was there for. They did not
find out. Commodore Schley did. They
were scot free and Commodore Schley
is to be condemned.
Mr.. Rayner then referred to the de-

ing as to the Importance of the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal I'M
der the control of the government of
the United States. The subject has
been fully considered in every dteail,
ana the representative of the two gov
ernments have reached the conclusion
that the commercial interests of the
whole world will be benefited by the
building OF a maritime canal across
the isthmus of Panama. England nat
urally expects TO improve her commerce
by the opening of a canal at that
point: She also realizes that it
would be an utter impossibility for
her TO engage in such an enterprise in
the face of the much discussed Monroe
Doctrine. There is no other nation on
the face of the globe so capable OF
building that canal as the United
states, and the rulers of all the great
nations OF the earth recognize that fact.
Under the circumstances, it is asserted
most emphatically that England with
out seeking quid pro Qou from the
United States agree to waive any real
or imaginary rights it may have under
former treaties to enable the canal at
Panama to be built and controlled I'M
der such regulations as are generally
accepted to be of the best interests to
the United States.
So earnest and sincere have been the
negotiations. between England and
American representatives, during the
past summer, that Lord Pauncefote
and Secretary Hay met at the State
Department last Monday and conclud-
ed the official negotiations of the new
Hay Pauncefote treaty within less
than twenty minutes. So fully was the
subject thrashed out in England, I'M
der the skillful direction of Ambassa-
dor Choate, that the British minister
sent Lord Pauncefote back to Wash
ington empowered to commit the Eng.
lish government to the revised edition
of the treaty which has been so fully
outlined in the press of England and
this country. In substance the treaty
formally abrogates the Clayton Bulwer
treaty, makes the canal a neutral wa
terway in time of peace and leaves it
discretionary with the United States
whether or not the canal shall be for
tilted.
A prominent member of the admins
tration, in discussing this subject with
me in the rankest manner possible,
stated that it now remains with the
Senate whether or not the Nicaragua
canal shall be built. The Nicaragua
Canal Commission, headed by Rear Adj
niral Walker, one of the ablest men
in the navy, has practically completed
an exhaustive investigation of the
subject, and has recommended the Sc
lection of the Nicaragua route. The
government has a healthy surplus in
the treasury, with which to begin the
construction of the canal, in accord
ance with the recommendation of the
Walker commission, and it now re-
mains for the Senate of the United
States to decide whether or not a ma
jority of that body is prepared to vote
as it talks when not speaking for the
official record.

Peruna n Preventive and Cure for
Mr.. C. F. Given, Sussex, N. B., Vice
President of the Pastime Boating
Club, writes:

Washington, Nov. 6.--The death OF
Ii Hung Chang will not. 1t is believed
here, affect the execution of the under
takings imposed upon China in the
protocol.
A change in the Manchurian situa-
ton is expected, however. and the
United States has a very considerable
interest in the outcome OF that mat
ter. Ii Hung Chang is regarded here
as strongly pro- Russian, and II is pos
sible that his death, and the coming

friendly TO Russia, might hasten the
day when Russia must relax her hold
upon Manchuria. and allow the coun-

H00-H00 AND MILL MEN.

To Hold Monthly Meeting and Con-
cntenatiOn Tuesday.
Plans have been completed for the
meeting of the Georgia Saw Mill AS
ISOLATION, and a concentration of the
Order of Hoo Hoos, which will be held
in Savannah next Tuesday and which,
from all indications. will be one of the
largest gatherings of lumbermen ever
held in Savannah. In fact, there is
now being made a strong effort to have
the State Fair declare Tuesday 'Lum-
bermens Day"
The saw mill men have taken sidvan-
tage of the Fair to hold its regular
meeting here. and this will be held at
such an hour as will allow all the men,
bers of the association to take in the
Fair during the afternoon, if not the
forenoon, and still get back to the city
in time to attend the concentration OF
the Hoo-Hoo, an order of which most
of them are members, and one whose
meetings they always attend with
great zest.
The present meeting promises to be
more than usually interesting. not only
on account of the number of members
that will attend it, but also because OF
the number of candidates that will be
initiated on this occasion to the joys
and sorrows of the followers of the
great black cat" 1t is expected that
there will be not less than twenty of
these kittens. who will have their eyes
opened for the first time, that is. so
far as Hoo Hooism is concerned.
The concatenation will be held as
will also the meeting of the lumber
men, in the banquet room of the De
Soto, and will be begun at the mystic
hour of 1929 o'clock. 1t will last, Il is
expected, until a little after TO- and

Girls should Not Send Valentines.

cit is a woman's privilege to be
courted," writes Margaret e. Sang
ster il the February Ladies' Home
Journal. Therefore the man sends
the valentine, not the girl. Thought
less and silly girls sometimes over
look this fact that they are to be
sought and never do the seeking, and
an old observer sees with pain that
they employ little arts to attract the
other sex; that, saves the mark, they
behave, here and there, as if every
timing they could do should be done to
gain the approving notice of the OPP
posite sex. This creates false posi-
ton and is always cheapening to
girl, not only in the eyes of others,
but also in time, when the awakening
comes, it is degrading co her self
respect.
