terial advantage is gained by con-
signees in avoiding the extra tariff on
freight yard facilities now enforced by
the railroad company. But the extra
charges come on account of cotton ar
irving in foreign" cars, which are
held idle by any delay in unloading.
With the use of the water route to
Providence and reshipment by rail, To-
cal cars would be used, and the charges
for delay made on through cars would
thus be avoided. 1t has been rumored
that New Bedford will be a point to
which cotton will be shipped by wa
ter. From there it could be reshipped
on local cars to the principal mill
cities"
The talk of a direct line to Provi-
dence not only interests the upland.
but the sea island cotton exporters as
we'll. With equitable rates direct from
this city to Providence it is asserted
local cotton exporters and brokers
would very probably build up good
business with the New England mill
ing districts. Practically the entire
domestic consumption of sea island is
by those mills. If Savannah cotton
men were able to solve freight difficult
ties business direct with the East would
be nearer to them. Locally, much in
terest will be taken in the probable
course the Merchants and Miners may
pursue.

COTTON TO PROVIDENCE.
Report That the NJ. and NJ. Il. Co
Will Handle 1t From Here.

Report That the NJ. and NJ. II. Co.
Will Handle 1t From Here.
AS a result of the withdrawal of the
Boston and Maine and the New York.
New Haven and Hudson River Rail-
roads from participating in through
rate arrangements on cotton from the
South to New England mill points and
the diversion of large shipments of cot
ton to the North by the water lines,
the Merchants and Miners Transpor-
tation Company contemplates running
either a direct or indirect line of
steamers from Savannah to Providence
to accommodate this increased demand
for tonnage No confirmation of an in
tention to establish such a line has yet
been received in Savannah.
The New York Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin of Thursday
in a leading article on the effects of
the action of the New England rail-
roads on rail cotton traffic, said:
"Consignees of cotton, especially in
Fall River, are dissatisfied, it is said
with the arbitrary conditions imposed
by the railroad management concern
ing the delivery of cotton that is not
promptly removed from cars and
freight yards. This dissatisfaction mas
led to a consideration of other meth
DDS of shipment than the "all-rail,"
and the result will probably be at least
that the steamship lines, as stated, will
carry a larger proportion of the cot
ton shipments than formerly.
"A representative of the Merchants
and Miners Steamship Company has
been comforting with Rhode Island
manufacturers concerning this matter
for some time past and also with Fall
River and New Bedford men. 1t is I'M
derstood that with three steamships a
week, as at present, each with a ca
pacity of 5000 bales or more, the Mer-
chants and Miners Line could land at
Providence between $4,000 and 10000
bales of cotton a week, and, If neces-
sary, the service on the line could be
doubled.
Shipping from Norfolk to Provi-
dence cotton consigned to Fall River
and New Bedford and to a number of
the Rhode Island mills would necessar-
lily have to be forwarded by rail. In
this way it would seem that no ma

will be devoted to the Winnie Davis
Memorial at Athens The Savannah
Chapter has already contributed very
generously towards this cause, and
also towards the Soldiers Home, which
was burned last September and has re-
Gently been rebuilt. To the latter OBJ
ject it has already subscribed $3.50, be-
sides 500 towards the refurnishing of
the library, which was its original gift
in the old building.
The State convention of the U. D. c.
will be held at LaGrange, Oct. Is, 20,
and 80, and the ninth annual meeting
Of the General Division will open in
New Orlea ms. Nov. II. While it is de-
sirable that both meetings should be
attended by delegates from Savannah,
the state convention is of more i'm
portance to the home chapter, and Mrs.
Alexander b. Hull, the president, has
requested that all names of members
who are likely to attend be hanaed
to her at the earliest possible date.
A committee was appointed to attend
to this matter and it is hoped that all
arrangements maybe completed by the
regular meeting in October.
For the New Orleans convention spe-
cial rates have been offered by the
railroads and hotels, and these are
available to all, whether members of
the society or not. Mrs. John w. Tench
of Gainesville, Fla. member of the
committee for Florida and Georgia, and
former president of the Florida divis-
ion, has written a personal letter to
Mrs. Hull, urging the attendance Of
Savannah members, and enclosing
circular which sets forth the advant-
ages offered for the trip. This annual
convention is held in a different city
each year, and is presided over by the
president of the General Division, U.
D. c., an office at present held by Mrs.
]. A. Rounsaville of Rome.
The circular reads as follows:
u. D. c. Annual Convention
The ninth annual meeting of the gen.
eral division of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy will convene in
the city of New Orleans, La, on Nov.
u, 1902
The rate will be one fare for the
round trip. Tickets will be on sale at
all stations from Nov. s to 10, 1902.

lantic Coast Line, in connection with
the Louisville and Nashville Railway,
and their various connections.
Board has been arranged for at 81 to
$3.50 per day.
The Transportation Committee hav-
ing secured exceptionally low rates
and good service, would urge upon
all delegates and Daughters to attend
this convention, so that some conces-
sions may be secured at future con-
ventions. Mrs. J. Pinkney Smith,

WHITE FELTS FOR DRESS HATS.
For very dressy hats, says the Mil
linery Trade Review, chalk
white felt is favored lined
with golden yellow coz de
roche which promises to be very
fashionable shade. A hat of this color
lined with yellow velvet has a notch
cut in front an inch or two to the left.
Two white Amazons are fixed to the
base of the notch and they lean to the
right and left along the edge of the
brim; at the back there is a fluting of
yellow velvet.
Many milliners border their felt hats
deeply with velvet. TfE best effect is
obtained by using two separate bands,
one for the outer side of the brim and
one for the under.
Biscuit, white, pale sky blue and oft
en- light colored hats are bordered this
way with black velvet. The low
blocked crown may be banded with
ribbon velvet tied at the back But in
one or two houses may be seen a scarf
of black mousseline de sole used for
the purpose, the trimming consisting
further of an ostrich feather, a group
of wings or bird placed underneath
the brim.
With the opening of the Paris season
evening hats put in an appearance
Tulle appears to be the favorite mate
rial, either trimmed with quilting of
the same or partly yelled with lace, and
for further ornamentation paradise
plumes, marabout, palms made of
brilliant plumage or ostrich, besides
handsome cabochons and roses in vel
vet and satin and gossamer underneath
the brim.
