WILL BE NO MERGER
POPULAR IDEA ABOUT A. C. L. AND
L. g. n. SEEMS WRONG.
ONLY THE CONTROL OF L. & N.
WILL PASS TO THE ATLANTIC
COAST LINE RAILROAD co.

No Consolidation of the Properties
of the Two Companies Is Antici-
pated-Managements of the Two
Lines VIII Probably Remain Sep
nrate and Distinct-OnIy in Inter-
change of Business and in Work
ing for Mutual Interest, 1t Is Said.
VIII the Control of the One Line
by the other BE Noted-R. G. Erwin
Not TO BE at the Head of the Coast
Line.
No merger of the properties of the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company
and the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road Company is looked for. IT. is be-
lieved that the Atlantic Coast Line will
simply control. by the ownership OF
the majority of the stock of the Louis
vile and Nashville, and that the for
mer will direct the policy of the latter.
The general impression has been that
there will be a consolidation.
1t is believed in railroad circles that
the management of the two properties
will remain distinct and separate. 1t
is not likely that there will even be
joint agencies. Only in an interchange
of business and in a mutual working
for the advantage of the two lines will
the control of the Louisville and Nash
vile by the Atlantic Coast Line be OBJ
servable.
This is the view that has been ex-
pressed by railway authorities in Sa-
4 OF
the acquisition of a majority of the
stock of the Louisville and Nashville
by the Coast Line is to be followed by
a consolidation of the properties.
The respective heads of the two
companies will be continued, it is
thought, and no official changes are
looked for after the Atlantic Coast
Line meeting that is to be held on
Nov. II, when the stockholders are to
ratify the purchase of Louisville and
Nashville stock from J. P Morgan &
Co, the increase of the capital stock
of the Coast Line, and the issuance of
Coast Line bonds, with the newly-ac-
quired stock of the Louisville and
Nashville as security.
The Atlantic Coast Line Company of
Connecticut is not in on the Louisville
and Nashville deal The Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company is act
ing.
The discussion of the heads of the
Coast Line and the Louisville and
Nashville leaves Mr.. Walters and Mr..
Smith. respectively at the helm. For
Mr.. Smith and his policy, Mr.. Walters,
it is said, has the highest regard, and
it is not anticipated that there will be
any Louisville and Nashville changes
because of the Coast Line control
Mr.. r. G. Erwin, president of the
Plant System before that property was
merged with the Coast Line, will not
become president of the latter Some
time ago there was a report that such
was to be the case, but it now trans
pires that there is little likelihood of
such a turn.

UnfaiIing Method of Securing Sue
cess in Any business.
If anyone wants to know why the
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers
Enormous Shows United is so success
full they have only to look about and
see at every hand their advertising. If
they do such a world of business, it is
because they do a corresponding world
of advertising. The same principle
holds true with the business done by
any of the local merchants. Alexander
T. Stewart, pioneer of the great mer
chant princes in this country, used to
say that at least one-third of a mer-
chants investment should be in adver-
Using, and .he remaining two-thirds to
his stock. Merchants like John Wanna
maker, Seigel & Cooper, and others of
the best department establishments
throughout the country, as a matter
of fact, spend about as much money
in advertising as they do in buying
stock. This does not necessarily mean
that they must make one hundred per
cent. profit in order to do so as might
appear on the surface. The greatest
item of expense of such great circus
establishments as the Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers Enormous Shows
United is that of advertising. Their
enormous success shows the wisdom of
their policy in that direction. These
great shows will appear here on Sat-
urday. Oct. 25.

CAPT. BARROW RESIGNED.
Has Given Up His Commission as
Captain of the OEIethOrpes.

OuptHth
Capt. David C. Barrow of the Ogle-
thorpe Light Infantry has resigned his
commission. His resignation was ten
dered yesterday morning.
But few of the members of the Ogle-
thorpe Light Infantry knew that Capt.
Barrow contemplated this action. The
news will be received with genuine re-
gret. He has always been popular
among the Oglethorpes, and the COM
pany has done we'll under his COM
mand.
1t was greatly to Capt Barrow's re-
greet that he found it necessary to re-
sing his commission. Since the retire
ment of Judge Pope Barrow, his IA
ther from the firm of Barrow & Bar
row, which was a result of his assump-
ton of the duties of the Superior
Court judgeship Capt. Barrow has
found his legal business making
greater and greater demands upon his
time. Feeling that it would be at the
expense of his practice or of the COM
pany or of both it he should retain his
commission. he determined to resign
it.
Until Capt. BaTTows successor can
be elected. the company will be un-
der the command of First Lieutenant

Mr.. Hardee Making Another Effort

More trouble has turned up in the
Mclaughlin litigation. Two
or three final orders have been pass
ed in the case, but as the parties at in
terest steadfastly refuse to obey them,
they have never succeeded in winding

The principal trouble has had more
or less intimate connection with the
fees of ]. P. Hardee, who acted as au-
ditor. Judge Barrow has told the
plaintiff and defendant to pay these
fees, but they have never done 50, and
yesterday Mr.. Hardee again complain
ed to the court about this unfeeling
treatment.
Judge Barrow issued an order di-
recting everybody who has or has had
any connection with the case to ap-
pear before him on Nov. and try to
get the thing wound up. The order in

AGAINST CONVICT LABOR.
Delegation Called Upon the Mayor
TO Enter Protest.

The Mil-Haven Lumber Company
will not be permitted to employ the
state convicts for whom it has con-
! tracted without "A fight. Strong Oppo-
sition has developed, and it seems that
a combined effort win be made TO pre-
vent the convicts from taking the place
of free labor.
Last Sunday the Morning News told
of the leasing by the AIill-Haven Lum-
Der Company of 1876 Of the states con-
victs, formerly employed by the Par
rOtt Lumber Company of Richmond.
This information was not received gra-
| ciously by those whom the convicts are
to supplant or by their friends. Others,
for that matter, have risen up against
the plan of the company, which has
already begun the construction of a
model camp for the accommodation of
the convicts, this being a requirement
of the state law.
A delegation waited on Mayor Myers
yesterday to enlist his support and aid
for the opposition to convict labor. The
Mayor readily agreed that it would not
be for the best interests of the city to
have free labor supplanted by the con-
Victs, and he told the delegation that
1t might present a petition to the City
Council, setting forth the facts, and
asking that some preventive measure
be taken. 1t was not within his own
province, the Mayor said, to interfere.
Capt. NJ ]. Doyle was at the head
of the delegation, the other members
of which We're colored. They were DR..
Cornelius McKane, Bishop G.. w
Macklemore, Rev. J. l.. Maxwell and
Rev. j. NJ. Milton.
After the conference Mayor Myers
said to a representative of the Morning
News that he did not question that
Council would be arrayed in opposi-
ton to the employment of convicts
They form an undesirable class, even
though kept under guard and within
the confines of the company's property
They are of no benefit or advantage to
community, he said, receiving no
pay, and, unlike free laborers, spend
ing no earnings among the merchants
He was asked if he thought it pos
sible for the city to prevent the COM
pany from employing convicts. He
said that he thought the employment
OF conVicts within two miles of the
city limits could be prevented An
appeal to the Legislature, if nothing
else, he thought. would serve. 1t is
even possible, he consirede, to prevent
the use of such labor by private parties
within the county.
If the contract of the MiIl-Haven
Lumber Company is irrevocable and
the opposition to the employment of the
convicts proves sufficiently strong to
prevent it, it may be that the company
Will have to use the convicts in it's
timber operations along the Savan-
nah river, instead of at it's plant near
the city. Mr. Charles Heard, president
OF the company, is the only official
qualified to discuss the situation, and
he was not in the city yesterday.

"MR. D0oLY" ARRESTED SIX.
Officer Had "A Whole Family i'm the
Patrol Wagon at One Time.

Patrol Wagon at One Time.
Few arrests were made by the police
yesterday. MIR. Dooley," who walks
East Broad street, distinguished him
self by arresting more than all of the
other policemen on the force. He had
a wagon load of negroes. There were
ten arrests made and of this number
Dooley made six.
In response to a call. officer Dooley
went to the home of Mrs. Kate Tobin
TO arrest some little negroes who had
beaten her child. The three negroes,
Lizzie Crate, julius Crate and Ben
Crate, submitted at once to arrest, but
Emma Crate got belligerent and de-
clared that the officer wasn't man
enough TO take the children away from
her He didn't-he took her with them.
Then John Coleman, a friend of the
family took up the quarrel, saying
that he did not think that it was right
to pinch a whole family. He grew very
argumentative, throwing in a few
threats to flavor his position. So "Mr.
Dooley" took him beneath the shelter
of his wing.
Dooley, with his five prisoners in tow,
started for the Gamewell box, a hand
full of spectators following in his wake.
AT the box the officer ordered the
CfoNu JACK. Jerry oedrCn, oV years OF
age, didn't choose to move, and the
officer added him to his list. The six
will tell their tales to the Recorder in
Police Court this morning.
Robert Martin was arrested for recie-
less driving, he having run his hack
into wagon belonging to Joseph Bird,
and broken it up considerably. A ne
gro, who was arrested for being drunk
on the streets, was too drunk to tell his
name, and was consequently locked up
without having his name on the blot
ter. On east Gwinnett street, near the
railroad, some comm otion was caused
by several drunken men. A telephone
call to the barracks announced that a
white man was chasing a white wo-
man with a knife. An officer was sent
Immediately, but when he arrived
everything was quiet in the neighbor-
hood.

VISITED THE COLLEGE.
Chancellor Hill and Prof. Bronson
Made an Inspection Trip.


Chancellor Walter B. Hill of the
State University paid a visit TO the
Georgia State College for colored
youths near Thunderbolt yesterday.
Accompanying him was Prof. E. c.
Branson, president of the State Nor
NAL School of Athens. The gentlemen
reached the city together yesterday
morning, Prof. Branson having come at
the invitation of Chancellor Hill.
On their visit to the colored college
the gentlemen found much to interest
them. Upon one or two matters they
will give advice to the commissioners,
and changes may be made. Upon just
what points this advice will be given
is not known.
Prof. Branson said last night that he
had found much to interest him at the
college. He was impressed by the evil
dcnces of the work that he discovered
and seemed to believe that the insti-
tuition is accomplishing a great deal for
the Improvement of the colored youth
in attendance.
AS an adjunct to the college and one
that meets with the approval of Chan
cellor Hill and Prof. ~Branson, a dairy
is TO be establishedih This will not be
for money making Purposes, but for the
education of the students in the care
of cows and the making of butter and
cheese.
The dairy will be established by Jan.
l, Mr.. Otis Ashmore. one of the COM
missioners, said, and the students will
then be ready Tor their instruction.
There will be a herd of six or eight
COWS, which will be enough for the pur-
10 To ~
products of the dairy, but to use them
at the college.

WANTED TO TELL A TALE.
Ward Was Sore Because His Policy
shop Was Raided.

The chief interest in yesterdays
criminal session of the City Court CEN
tered around the trial of Sam Ward,
negro accused of carrying on gam
bling game. Ward was a writer for
one of the local policy lotteries. of
which there are said to be several in
operation. His Office for writing
policy was located at the corner of
Wilson and Walker streets
There wasn't much chance for Ward
TO make an effective kick, as the evil
dence was dead against him. He tried
to make good by giving up his infor-
nation about the other places where
policy is written, and where the actual
drawings take place, but nobody took
any special interest in these revelations
and he didn't get a chance to make
his talk.
Judge Norwood sentenced Ward to
pay fine of $50 and costs or serve on
the Changing for a year. He seemed
to feel that he was being neglected by
those higher in authority than himself.
The other cases tried before Judge
Norwood were few in number and of
small interest. In several of them.
however, the defendants were given a
year on the gang.

SHOULD BE AT SAVANNAH.
That Is the View Taken of Western
Union Headquarters.


A suggestion that the Headquarters
OF the assistant superintendent of the
Florida district of the Western Union
Telegraph Company be established at
Savannah was made in the Morning
News last Sunday. 1t met with favor.
and there is a general demand that
savannah be recognized by the COM
pany and have this concession made
It. SO great is the volume of bust
ness handled to and from Savannah
by the Western Union that patrons
of the company feel that the head
quarters of the assistant, if not of
the superintendent, are due the city.
The distriS< includes all of the Flor
Ida territory east of the Chattahoochee
river; it extends north as far as Will
mington and Columbia it takes in
nearly all of Georgia, extending as far
as Atlanta, and even reaches to Eu-
faCla and Montgomery and other points
In Alabama. Savannah, therefore. is
even better located as headquarters
than Jacksonville, where the Offices
of SuDt. Dillon now are.
Mayor Myers said yesterday that the
volume of business done with the West
ern Union by Savannah, and the city's
advantageous location, should secure
at least the headquarters of the as
sistant superintendent, if not the SUI
perintendent

DISTINGUISHED PreInte to Dedicate

day.
Bishop Alexander Coke Smith Of
Norfolk, who is to conduct the cere-
monies at the dedication of Epworth
Methodist Church tomorrow. will
reach Savannah this afternoon at $3.50
O'Clock. At the Union station he will
be met by a committee of the prOmi-
nent churchmen, consisting of Messrs.
j. L. Christian, F. c. Stone. w. p. Rid
ole. j. NJ. Rogers and Rev. Bascom An
thony, pastor of Trinity Church, and
Rev. ]. A. Smith, pastor of Epworth
Church.
This committee will escort him to the
home of Mr.. H. f. Wilson, who will be
his host during his stay in Savannah.
In the afternoon the committee and
the Methodist ministers of the city will
accompany the bishop on carriage
drive around the city and to Thunder
Bannon Lodge.
After the dedication service to-mor-
rev, Bishop Smith and the Methodist
ministers will be entertained at dinner
by Mr.. Wilson.
AS has been before stated in the
Morning News, no Methodist Church
can be dedicated until clear of debt.
Epworth Church, though indebted to
the amount of 81, 900 in the beginning
of the year, has not now reduced that
amount to $476. This amount, which is
in outstanding notes, will be paid to-
day. This item is the last of the
preparations necessary for the dedica-
ton.
The ceremony will be a most inter
esting and attractive one 1t will be
attended not only by the members,
whose hard and faithful work has
placed their church in it's present pros
porous condition, but by large con-
gregation from other sources, drawn
by the interest of the ceremony and
the desire to hear the distinguished
churchmen who will conduct it.

Do business Men Think of This.

The money that you spend away from
home never comes back any more"
Do business men think of this?
Take you, for instance. Have you
ever bought an article away from home
because it was a few cents cheaper
than you could get at home that you
did not feel that you were retarding
the growth of your city by injuring
the business of its citizens?
1t saves little. if anything, to SEND
your orders away, or to buy your sup
plies away from home. Such a sys-
tenn indirectly hurts you, no matter
who you are. And it works direct
harm to your fellow citizens, who have
taxes to pay, rent to pay, employees
to pay, and other charges to meet.
This applies to all lines of business,
but in this special advertisement it is
intended to refer to the thousands of
dollars worth of printing, Autograph
ing and blank book work which is
sent away every month by Savannah
business houses.
Think of it!
Thousands of dallars' worth going
to other printing houses in other cities
when there are more than a dozen
good ones here, able to do much more
work than they are doing if they had
it to do.
The more work these concerns have
to do the more people they have to
employ, and these people, as a matter
of course, become buyers. They be-
come customers of the shoe houses,
the dry goods houses, the grocery
houses, the drug houses, and, indeed,
about all lines of business feel the
impetus which increased buyers give.
The Morning News printing, litho-
graphing, blank book and bindery is
one of the best in the country. 1t has
Autograph plant sufficiently large to
handle all of the work in Savannah.
And it will do it as we'll and as rea-
sonable as any reputable concern in
the United States.
The Morning News has striven to
give Savannah a home plant. The
class of work turned out by it speaks
for itself.
If it is satisfactory, there is no real
reason why any of this work should
find its way to other cities. None
whatever.
Should business men encourage it? ~
