DOESN'T GET THE CENTRAL.
A Director Believes Il. & n, Instead
of Buying, Is Bought.

The acquisition Of the Central of
Georgia Railway by the Louisville and
Nashville is the burden of a highly
speculative article in the Knoxville
Sentinel, which takes its text from
the recent purchase by the Louisville
and Nashville of the Atlanta, Knox
vile and Northern. The Sentinel
thinks the Central would be a splendid
property for the Louisville and Nash
Vile to possess, and doubtless it would
be.
A director of the Central was asked
about this matter yesterday, and he
scoffed at the idea, saying that the
acquisition of the Louisville and Nash
Vile by the Southern Railway, which,
his private advices assure him, is to
be expected, renders such speculation
absurd.
The Southern Railway" said the
director has practically all the float
ing stock of the Central. If the South
ern is buying a controlling interest
in the Louisville and Nashville, of
course the question of the Louisville
and Nashville and the Central is set
tied.
Il believe an announcement may be
expected at New York on Monday or
Tuesday that the Southern has made
the deal and secured the control of
the Louisville and Nashville"
Mr.. James Freeman, travelling pas
senger agent for the Southern Railway,
with office in Macon, is in the city.
Mr.. Freeman has many friends here
who are always glad to see him.

NOT GOING AS OFFICIALS.
No Formal Reception at Charleston
Expected by the Mayor.

Expected by the Mayor.
when members of the City Council
go to Charleston Wednesday" said
Mayor Myers yesterday, they will go
unofficially. 1t will be simply a pleas
ure jaunt, and all who take the trip
will defray their own expenses. They
viii expect nothing in the way of an
official welcome from Charleston. That
city has been busy receiving so many
functionaries that l should think it
has had enough of that form of en=
joyment. We do not even want passes
to the Exposition, but will gladly pay
the charges"
1t seems that there will be some
seven or eight of the aldermen to take
the trip. Aldermen Jones and Frank
are the only ones who have announced
positively that they will not go, though
there are two or three others who are
very uncertain.
Wednesday is Savannah Day, and the
Mayor is very anxious that large
representation of the people of Savan-
nah visit Charleston on that day. To-
morrow badges, bearing the word "Sa-
vannah,' may be secured upon appl-
cation at the City Exchange.

REVENUE CUTTER MEN HAPPY.
President Has Signed the Bill In BE-
half Of Their Service.


half of Their Service.
President Roosevelt has signed the
bill for increasing the efficiency of the
revenue cutter service. Information
to this effect was received from Wash
ington last night. The new law goes
into immediate effect.
The main provisions of the law pro-
vide for q retirement list at the age
of GA years. This puts the revenue
cutter service on an equal footing with
other branches of the service, which
have retirement list. Officers of the
navy are retired at the age of 81. The
theory of the retirement of officers,
aside from a generous recognition of
faithful services, Is to improve the
service by adding new men.
Another feature of the law is the
provision for an increase of 10 per
cent. in pay every five years until 40
per cent. has been added covering a
period of twenty years service.
The officers of the cutters on this
station are elated over the success of
the effort on their behalf which has
been before Congress for thirty years.
