GOOD FOB MISS COULD

The country must add one more to the
already long list of its obligations to that
noble woman Miss Helen Gould.
She is a member Of the board of lady
managers of the st. Louis Exposition,
and takes a very active interest in all
that pertains to the part of that great
enterprise which women have specially
in charge.
1t is we'll for this great enterprise, which
is to surpass the grandest Of all previous
expositions, that Miss Gould has a hand
In its management.
At the meeting recently Of the board
to which she belongs Miss Gould intro
duced a resolution declaring that the
Louisiana Purchase exposition would
favor high moral tone throughout and
eliminate from the concessions any that
savors of the dances performed on the
Midway OF the Chicago fair.
This resolution was happily adopted and.
it is said, will be rigidly enforced.
But for the fact that there is a board
of lady managers Of the st. Louis ex-
position and that the board has such a
heroic woman as Miss Helen Gould on 1t,
this magnificent enterprise would prob
ably have been disiigured and disgraced
by such vulgar and disgusting dances as
were seen at the Chicago exposition and
every similar show in this country since
that time.
1t is profoundly gratifying to know that
the sort of exhibitions upon which Miss
Helen Gould has stamped her righteous
condemnation are not to be part of the
attractions at ST. Louis.

" HE NEWS comes to us that the
Atlantic Coast Lone" whatever
that name stands for in railroad
circles) has swallowed up the
Louisville and Nashville (and all that
the name comprehends i'm the breadth
ana length of it's former holdings)
and we are now to have two
great rivals. or systems, and a struggle
60 the death, until the whale swallows
Jonah, or Jonah swallows the whale, and
a monopoly takes possession of every
thing in sight. because a big fish has
finally eaten up all the little ones. and
has then nothing to do but to laugh and
grow fat at the leisure of the mammoth
leviathan.
1t is highly probable that your scribe
knows as little about what is going on
under the surface, when gigantic corpora
lions wrestle with each other for the
mastery, as anybody living, but from
what 1 can see on the surface, prophecy
that the day is coming (may not be far
distant) when the indignant populace will
rise up and strike and do big mischief, or
when the government, state and national,
will recall to itself the privileges that
were too often granted in haste and ig-
norance: and all public utilities will come
under the management and ownership OF
the government as a measure of common
justice as we'll as a measure of public
safety to the country.

These towns are growing in leaps and

The hotels of these towns are simply

Towns that have been dead for years
have begun to build and equip them
selves with these four essentials, and
then everything else began to boom.
One marvels at the network of rail-
roads in South Georgia. The towns 1
have named above are in the midst OF
network of railroads, and all the roads
are doing a land office business:
The Triton, Townsville and Gulf
railroad is a little gem, only 56 miles
in length, but it's a hummer. This Is
