BAY STREETS NEW FIRMS,

Merchants From other Parts of City
secure Quarters on River Front.
The fear that Bay street would lose
in a great part it's importance as a
business center when the wholesale
grocers moved to their present quar-
ters in the railroad yards seems not
to have been justified if one may judge
by the number of firms that have re-
Gently acquired quarters on the Bay
or will do so within the next few
weeks.
Among these are Mark Apple, who
will occupy the old quarters of the
Savannah Grocery Company. and the
Dixie Wall Paper Company of At
lanta, which now occupies the build
ing at the southwest corner of Bay
and Whitaker streets. Other additions
to the business interests of the Bay
are the two new cotton offices one
representing the Lowry round bale in
terests and the other the American
Round Bale Company.

MUST BE UNDER HIS ORDERS.
That Is Lessee Nelson's Ultimatum
to First Regiment Band,

The trouble between the First Regi-
ment Band and the management of
the Thunderbolt Casino is not yet set
tied desHite the fact that some MEM
bers of the band played at the Casino
performance last night. Mr.. E. A.
Massart, manager of the band, had a
conference with Mr.. L. w. Nelson,
lessee of the Casino, yesterday, but
no agreement was reached, though one
may be reached at a second conference,
which will be held this afternoon.
Mr.. Nelson stated last night that
the band could not come back to the
Casino under the old terms If 1t
comes back at all. he said, it will be
with the distinct understanding that
it is to be under his orders.
Except for the performance night be-
fore last the Casino people have had
no trouble about securing music. Mr.
Nelson had his own orchestra last
night but before the performance was
begun several of the band members

MACHINISTS GO OUT
THE CENTRAL RAILWAY Is RE-
DUCING ITS SHOP FORCES.
DOZEN MEN OUT AT MACON.
NO DISCHARGES YET FROM THE
SHOPS AT SAVANNAH.

President John VI. EEan of the Cen
trail Was Asked About the Dis
charge of the Men-He Said That 1t
Was Necessary for Economical
Reasons-It Was a Question of Re
ducing working Hours and, Con-
seouentIy. Pay for All the Men
Employed in the shops, or the
Discharge of Some of Them-Lnt-
ter Alternative AdOpted-Safe TO
Say That the Reduction Will Ex-
tend to the savannah shops
Some of the machinists in the Savan-
nah shops will probably be discharged
by the Central Railway. This meas
ure if adopted, will be in a spirit of
economy.
President John NJ. Egan of the Cen
trail said yesterday that the Central is
confronted by a necessity that demands
the reduction of the forces employed
in its shops. Economy of operation is
sought, and the mechanical depart
nent seemed to offer the opportunity
for comprising the desired saving.
Some twelve of the machinists at the
Macon shops have already been dis
charged. They got their dismissals
from the master mechanic without
having the reason for it given.
President Egan readily stated why
the men had been dismissed. 1t was
a question, he declared, of shortening
the hours, and, consequently, the pay,
of all the men in the shops, or of dis
charging a few of them The latter
alternative was adopted. There is not
enough work for all now employed.
HAS the reduction of forces extend
ed to the Savannah shops?" Mr. Egan
was asked.
1T has not done so yet" was his
significant reply. 1t is believed that
it will, and notice of their dismissal
may be expected by some of those now
employed in the Savannah shops.

trail The latter road will then under
take it's operation.
The Sylvania road has been totter-
ing on its last legs. If the Central
takes hold of it, II will be re-eQuipped
and improved.
Originally the Central loaned the
Sylvania Railroad $4,000. the money
being used for the purchase of rails.
A mortgage secured the Central, but
never a cent of interest on the debt
did the Sylvania pay. Its debt to the
Central finally amounted to more than
$4,000, being the principal and accrued
interest.
Little had been done toward keeping
up the Sylvania Railroad. The rails
are broken. and, in places they are in
but vineyard lengths. The equipment
of the road consists of a combination
coach. The engine 1t has used is owned
by another road.

THE MORNING NEWS SPECIAL.
Announcement of the Old Point Ex-
cUrsion Interested Many.

cGrsion Interested Many.
The announcement of the big excur-
sion the Morning News is to conduct
to Old Point Comfort and return, Aug.
2O-Sept. 4, was received yesterday with
great satisfaction by many who are
contemplating such a trip. The indi-
cations are that the Seaboard Air Line
will have to furnish many cars to
handle the business.
At the office of Assistant General
Passenger Agent c. B. Walworth of
the Seaboard and at the business Of
fee OF the Morning News many in
quiries were received about the ex-
cursion. indicating clearly that there
has been interest aroused and that
the wonderfully cheap rate of $40 for
limit has made many anxious to
avail themselves of the opportunity
TO visit some of the famous resorts
that it will open to them.
ut should be stated" said Mr.. Wal
worth that it is our intention to so
licit only white business for this ex-
curSlon. or course, 1t is an open
rate, and colored people may secure
the advantage of it. Tickets sold them,
however, will not be good on the
special Morning News train, but On
No. Go, which will leave ten minutes
after the special, There is every in
dication that only the very best class
of people win go on the excursion
Already there have been many in
quiries over the phone and in person,
and it looks as if we are to have a
fine business. l know already of one
party of seven that has been made
up, and it is probable that a number
of other such parties will be formed.
I'VE do not have to rely solely upon
Savannah. for there is business COM
ing to the special from other points
From the South and West parties viii
be mad cup, and there is no reason
why we should not bring 100 people
into Savannah. who will continue the
trip from here. The rates have been
scaled down, so that those from
points south and west on our line
also enjoy the opportunity that is Of
fered Savannahians."

SALE OF MILLEN MILLS,
VIII BE Followed by Organization
of Company to Operate.

Mr.. S. w. Palmer, secretary and
treasurer of the Millen Cotton Mills,
was in the city yesterday. The mills
at Millen are to be sold on Sept. 1
by order of court. to satisfy claim
of material and machinery men. 1t
is probable that they will be bought
in by those interested in the company,
and that their operation will commence
not long after. The mills are in per-
feet condition and have just been COM
pleted. They have never been operated,
Tor the reason that the company spent
all of its money in building and putting
in the necessary machinery. The cost
of the property has been $3.50, 0OO but
it is not thought that it will bring
more than 100000 at the sale After
the sale the company will be reorgan-
lied for the operation of the mills.

in the scheme than blowing open safe, pick
ing pocket or looting dwelling.
These are my sentiments, publicly expressed,
and think less of the men who permit these
things than l do of the men who perpetrate
them
That the scheme has the deliberate purpose
of looting the pockets of laboring men is with.
out doubt. Butchers all over the country have
been forced into buying their supplies of one
of the great slaughtering firms 1t was buy
or be frozen out, and any butcher who did not
live up to the contract was blacklisted. When
butcher sold himself to the hog fat lords, he
could not buy of farmers and butchers to meet
the demands of his customers. His right to
buy where he pleased and sell at the price he
chose to set to his customers was prohibited.
The hog fat lords must own the whole thing.
and now that they own the whole thing, they
proceed to carry out the original design of
wringing millions from the hands of labor

BEGIN AT HOME.

The Chicago American suggests that the
missionaries give the souls of the Chinese
rest. The missionaries, so far as their inten-
tons are concerned, are not at fault. 1t is the
so-called commcrcialisn of peoples who claim
to belong to Christian nations that render the
efforts of missionaries in China wholly abortive.
1t the Chinese had always been fairly dealt
with by people who claim to be Christians, the
Chinese would have as willingly received the
gospel OF Jesus as any other people.
A celebrated church hi ,toran, Moshiem, de-
clared that ''the blood of Jesus was yet warm in
Judea when gross heresies had crept into the
church." Along with the gross hereses came
confusion, strife, hatred, bloodshed, and So called
Christians butchered one another by the whole
sale. Christianity withstood the onslaughts of
paganism but weakened under the reign of in
ternal warfare, Christianity remained COM
paratively pure when the influence it exerted
upon the world based upon right living.
Christianity gained adherents with great rapid
ity when its teachings taught, alone, the Fathet-
hood of God End the Brotherhood of man.
Souls had no rest anywhere in the civilized
world during the first century of the Christian
era, and missionaries taught successfully in
countries whe1e the people we're more savage
than the Chinese of to day.

water-cure method of our soldery in the Phil
ippine Islands. If the world is to be forced to
the feet of Christ, there is no lack of men and
methods, either in the United States, England
or Germ any; but if we employ force, are we
better than Mahomet or as good as Confucius?
Commercialism and hypocrisy have sealed
the fate of the Chinese for many centuries. If
orthodoxy is true, He'll will be full and running
over of Chinese souls before the Chinese will
willingly receive Christianity.
The world is not nearly at the foot of the
Cross, And why not? Is it the fault of the
teaching of the lowly Nazarene? Not so. Go

peace on earth; the good will of God toward

JO McDILL'S MUSINGS.
ANOTHER WHOLESALE ROBBERY.

We have meat trust The dinner pail is
not full Meat once day-once week
some time in the near future. The dinner pail
may be cut down at least half, to give the
merger ffty-dolar plate.
The politician who kept promise made po-
lically died young, and, let us hope, went TO
Heaven. Room for more to die young.
Rats are still plenty, thinks to Hanna and
the lord of hosts. I spell lord with little |,
because am nor yet sure as to who will be the
lord. The race is between steel girders, hog
fat and ol-shine.
That there is a meat trust is denied, but the
Chicago American shows up the fguies. 1t
says: 1.-The packers are only paying one cent
more for live animals than one year ago.
Dealers are forced to pay three and four cents
per pound more than formerly Receipts of
numIers show, in Chicago, that in the year
closing April 2oth, there were delivered S56,142
head Of cattle, 2,7o6,1S2 head Of hogs, 1853,
o64 head of sheep. The year preceding, there
were delivered S22,979 head of cattle, 2,444,-
'97z head of hogs, ,oo7, ,SS9 sheep. The farm-
ers in the drouth- stricken states have parted
knowing that fat stock is not forthcoming,
have advanced prices'
The meat is in the hands of the packers.
The dinner-pai man can pay, 60 without meat
or eat rat meat.
And so, the Republican politicians have kept
another promise to the dinner pail man, in the
usual way, viz: sweet as fattery, but dodgasted
hard on the stomach
And now, up jumps the politician of the
Burton stripe, and swears that the farmer is in
it. Yes in the soup. Prices paid farmers
during the earlier months of the season did not
Justify the outlay, and the farmers, generally,
in the region where the corn crop was light let
90 his stock because there was no profit in
sight.
From the foregoing figures, we perceive that
more cattle, hogs and sheep had been delivered
i Chicago than the preceding year. The sup
plv is sufficient for the demand, but owing to
the rush of farmers to get into market, the
product is cornered.
It is steal-an unjusti6able, wholesale rob-

OYERMYER For PRESIDENT.

Last Fridays Topeka State Journal says the
Kansas Democrats will launch a presidential
boom for Dave Overmyer at the state convention
at Wichita. The Journal says his friends
point to him as the logical candidate. They
say he is "a friend of Mr.. Bryan, and stands
we'll with the Eastern Democracy"
How Overmyer can be friend of Mr.. Bryan
beyond our comprehension. The two elements
won't mix.
At the Kansas City convention, Overmyer
was willing to turn Bryan down for Dave Hill.
He was also willing to repudiate silver. He
was willing to compromise any old thing in
order to win.

Note the dates of these paragraphs
"Go yea into all the world and preach the gos-

''Go yea into all the world and preach the gos-
pei to every creature" " and "Lo, l am with you
even to the end of the world" The spirit of
Christ was with the missionaries just so long
as the missionaries cultivate the spirit of Christ
No longer. When people who claimed to be
Christian broke down the brotherhood of man,
Christ was no longer with the missionaries.

combed with beliefs, and practices that are no
be,ter-have no greater saving influence than
the doctrines of Confucius How are the Chi
nese TO know that Christ cannot sanction the
forcing upon that people of Englands opium?
How are the Chinese to know that Christ Cam
not sanction the invasion of that country by
so-called Christian armies, and who were guilty
OF savage atrocities? How are the Chinese to
know that Christ cannot sanction the methods
and sharp dealing of the so-called Christian
merchants? How are the Chinese to know that
conditions in America that call for the exclus-
ion of that people are not conditions that
Christ could possibly sanction?
The Chinese Judge Christianity by what is
done by those who claim to be Christians. The
Chinese judge Christianity by what so called
Christian governments do, and are doing; and,
in so judging, they hold Christianity in utter
detestation. The missionaries will have to
give rest to the souls of the Chinese. The
Chinese don't want, under any circumstances,
to go to the heaven of English opium and
Russian and German armies. They are not
anxious to join the sand-lots mob of San Fran
cisco or hobnob with the white-skinned mer-
chanta whose only god is gold.
The missionaries, if they want to convert
the world to Christ, will have to begin at home
Let them make war on the false gods set up in
the temples dedicated to Christ. The nations
that profess Christ must be Christian. This is
the law that underlies the conversion of the
outside world to Christ under Christian methods
Theie is the conversion of force, such as
Mahomet employed in Arabia, OF ortez in
Mexico. Be Christian or die. Mahomet
converted in the name of God and Cortez in
the name of Christ. Awful butcheries of hu
man beings followed in the wake of those two
great missionaries. Innumerable souls had the
rest of eternal sleep. Instead of assaultino
