FOUL PIcPENs STILL PREVAIL
The Stencil al Night Is Almost Over.
powering.

Several weeks ago the City Council
waged a righteous crusade against the
death dealing pigpen, and dozens of
these intolerable nuisances were abol-
ished. But the complaint again aris-
es, and certain it is that there are sew
eral OF these fever producers right in
the best residence portions of the city.
AT night the sickening, deadly stencil
arising from these foul spots is borne
a considerable distance, aud aside
from the fact that it is productive of ty-
ploid fever the odor is such that peo-
pie cannot sit upon front yerandas.
Already there are several cases of ty-
phoid in Americas, and doubtless the
cause of this could be easily traced to
pigpens. Let the health authorities
force an abatement of these vile,
sinking pigpens.

RAILWAY STOCK is ADVANCING.
Seaboard Common Goes From $26
to $3.50 Share.

A good deal of Seaboard Railway
stock is held in Americug, and holders
are pleased at the very recent advance
from 26 to 32t, the present market
figure. 1t is the belief among Savan
nah brokers, according to the Press,
that the stock is being bought with a
view of merging the property with the
Southern and the Louisville and Nash.
Vile, though they admit that they
have no better evidence of the fact
than the purchase of the stock by those
people who are known to be friendly
to both companies. 1t is reported that
in one transaction 1000 shares of Sea-
board Air Line was bought by a Say
annahian last week.

The vacancy in the Americas post
office will probably be filled immedi-

Roosevelt to Washington, at least this

sistant Postmaster Mitchell, it is said,
has the endorsement of the leading
Republicans of the state, and his
friends here are confident that he will
receive the appointment of postmaster
when the matter is taken up. This
being a presidential appointment,

of President Roosevelt to Washington
upon the conclusion of his Western
trip, which will be about October 9th.

he, after giving due consideration to
the fact that IL was an Easy position

cd. would conclude that 1t was better
to accept than tn trust to chance in be-
coming the head and front Of a sue
cessful republican movement in the

leadership.
It is possible that Senator Simmons
has been gifted with unusual foresight
for even as astuIe a politician as he is.
and has introduced this bill as a bait
with which to lure his republican COZ
league out of the political field in this
state and put beyond possibility his
leadership in this new movement, for
the purpose of minimizing its dangers
to the democratic party.
Then this may be only a case of that
senatorial courtesy we hea SO much
about these days-a graceful act ON
the part of one senator to provide by
the creation of new office for the fu-
lure welfare Of his colleague after
forced retirement from the senate by
reason Of change in the political COM
