The. work on the remodeling of the
plant of the Mutual Gas Company is
progressing rapidly, and yesterday a
part of the new machinery was put
IN operation, generating gas for the
cltys mains. More than $4,000 has
been spent by the company in making
these additions, and the result is it has
practically new plant of double the
capacity OF its former plant, and one
of the best equipped in the entire South.
The improvements have been in prog

and removing portions of the old build

ment Manager Golden stated yesterday
that the company will be able TO meet
the demands of the gas consumers for
many years to come and supply a
quality of gas which for both lighting
and fuel purposes is second to none.
The generating capacity of the old
plant was 100000 cubic feet of gas per
day. This is as much and more gas
than is used by the majority of South
ern cities the size of Savannah, but
during the past year the increase in
the amount of gas consumed has been
remarkable, and had not the company
made these additions, Mr.. Golden said
that the company would not have been
able to fill the demands of its present
customers during the winter.
Without sparlng money or energy,
the new plant has been equipped thor
oughly. The main buildings have been
remodeled throughout so to accommo-
date the new machines. Among the
equipment that has already been in
stalled are improved generators, super
heaters, carburetters. scrubbers and
condensers. In fact, all the large ma
chimes used in the process of gas maxi
ing have been reinforced by new ma
chimes of equal capacity and of the
latest and most improved type. A large
two-story building built of brick with
stone foundation, has been erected to
accommodate a portion of the new ma

consulted before complete arrangements
can be made. The Y. NJ. c. A. year

the same date as the annual meeting.

A WOman's Wealth.
Paine's Celery
Compound
GIVES VIG0R AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition OF its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women

GOVERNOR WHITE has expressed
himself vigorously but sensibly in re-
gard to the matter of changing the
system of taxation as proposed by the
tax commission. He says:
1.-THE issue before the Legislature Of
tax reform is clearly de6aed. 1t is the
indirect as against the direct tax for
the support Of the State government.
1t is the peoples interest as against the
selfish opposition Of privileged interests
which oppose just taxation"
The Governor puts the case very
plainly. The great corporations-the
coal companies, the oil companies, the
gas companies-are absorbing from
our State its greatest treasures, they
are constantly demanding government
protection and privileges, and yet they
ael6shly refuse to pay anything like a
decent share of taxation. Their lob
bies are ovsr-runniug the Legislature
to kill this most excellent system OF
taxation, and it looks as if they will
be successful. We hope such will not
Sc the case.
