RAILROADS CHEAP RATES
WEST TO THE SOUTH.

The southeastern railroads in connec-
ton with the Western lines have tnau-
gurated a strenuous campaign on be-
half of immigration to the South and
Southeast, and to advance this move
ment, at a recent meeting Of the South
eastern Passenger Association in Chi
cago. some extremely low rates were
agreed upon from points in the North
and West to the Southern and South
eastern states.
Railroad men ali over the South are
greatly interested in the movement, and
the extreme low rates are attracting
universal attention. Among those
made to points on the Central of Geor-
gia Railway are the following: From
Chicago to all points on the Central Of
Georgia, including Savannah, SIS from
ST. Louis to the same points $l6 from
Cincinnati $14.
Tickets at these low rates will be on
sale only on Sept. Is, and oct. 20, and
will have a time limit of twenty-one
days from date of sale.
1t is a well known fact and one that
has caused much apprehension among
various lines of business in the South,
that during the past few years there
has been a rapidly growing movement
of emigration to Texas, Indian Terri
tory and the Western states. Figures
showing the estimated business of this
kind done by the railroads penetrating
the West, show startling results and
depopulation of certain sections it IS
feared may result. 1t is as much to
counteract the effect of these whole
sale movements as to induce emigra-
ton South, that the railroads are taxi
ing the matter in hand. and they re-
gard the new movement as very i'm
portant one. If the effect is to slim
ulate travel the same 9ltes will doubt
less be repeated in the future, and the
movement carried on in u more effec
tive and better organized manner. The
railroads are calling upon the newspa-
, pers of the Southern states as well as
the people who have friends in the
West and North. who may be induced
to come South, to aid them all they can
in promoting this movement of public
interest.

There is no prospect that the ap-
proach of cold weather will mean the
retirement of pongee gowns, for these
will be extremely popular for house and
evening wear A delightful French
model is made of the most delicate
Dresden bleu popgee. The skirt is laid
in many tucks and has rather narrow
front breadth that, in turn, is trimmed
with groups of fine tucks encircling the
lower edge.
The bodice is a blouse effect with
three narrow box plaits embroidered
from the top down and the front edges
are trimmed with white lace with van
dyked band of white peau de sole en-
broidered at the edges and crossed with
knotted ribbons drawn through en-

SAVANNAH UNDER
MILITARY DISCIPLINE.
Capt. ola w. BELL Thinks 1t Differ
ent From Any other CITY.

Capt. Ola w. BELL Thinks 1t Differ
ent From Any other City.
Il think the whole city of Savannah
must be under military discipline, for
it is the first place 1 have ever been
where l was not annoyed by street
urchins when appearing in uniform, but
l must confess that not once while in
Savannah was I annoyed in the slight
est" This rather unusual compliment
was paid the city, in a letter written
by Capt. Ola w. Bell, commanding
Troop c. United States Cavalry. in a
Club, in which he said many very COM
plimentary things about the city and
the club.
Permit me to thank you and the
members of the Hussars for their cour-
tesy and kindness extended to the Off
GERS and men of Troop c, while in
Savannah" he wrote.
L assure you that ! appreciate most
deeply the many kindnesses YOU show
cred upon us. and we shall always re-
member and always be most grateful
for the same. l desire especially to
tnduk you Tor the entertainment which
was accorded the enlisted men of
Troop c, at your armory. and l assure
you that l appreciate this most of all
AS this was in reality an entertain
ment at your club, it was something
new to troopers of the regular service,
and as a consequence something not
soon to be forgotten by them. I regret
that | was unable to take advantage of
your Kindness and visit your club oft
ener, but the week in camp and the
two weeks at the range We're very busy
ones, and 1 had little time to get
about the city.
My entire visit to Savannah was a
most pleasant one, and 1 have never
been so we'll pleased with a trip to any
city as l am with the one we made to
your city, and l trust that l may be
able to return there at some future
time. My troopers were especially de-
lighted with the visit and were very
10th to leave" -"
Il trust that we shall see your splen-
cid organiza ton here next year at the
encampment, which we are at present
expecting will be held for the troops in
this section. We shall be most DESTROYS
of renewing our acquaintance at thar
time"

NAVIGATION IN THE OCONEE
AND OCMULGEE.
Colonel Quinn Pleased With Work
in River Near Dublin.


Col. James B. Quinn returned yes
terday from a trip to Dublin and vi
cinity, where he inspected the work
being done toward improving the nav
igation of the Ocmulgee and Oconee
rivers. He found the water at the US
abled to make a complete investigation
of the work. He was much pleased
with the progress that has been made.
The rivers are navigable for greater
part of their distance, and the shall
low portions of the beds are being rap
idly cleared. Boats are now moving up
beyond Dublin.
One of the principal difficulties with
which the government has to contend
in that section is the formation of
lodges of rocks which form shoals and
make navigation impossible. The wa
ter is also turned from it's course by
these formations and there is con-
slant erosion of the bank, a matter
which it is very desirable to prevent.
The rocky lodges are removed by the
use of the big pile-drivers. One of the
big piles is driven down into the rock
to quite depth and then, by the aid
of the proper machinery, is bent far
to one side. This skaters the soft
rock, breaking it up into smaller and
loose fragments. AS soon as con-
siderable portion of the rock ledge has
been broken up by the pile driving
system, one of the large river dredges
is brought into play and this scoops
up the loose rock and throws it to the
bank, where it can do no further
damage.
There has been some little difficulty
in keeping the river clear of snaes,
but this has been practically overcome
and with the tearing away of the
rocky shoals the rivers will be among
the finest in the state for local navi-
cation purposes. The work of COM
pleting the clearing and deepening of
the channels is going on rapidly and
the results of what has been done
thus far are highly pleasing to those
who have the matter in charge.

LUNACY WRIT AGAINST
YOUNG MAN
Was Signed Under Misapprehension
i'm Court of Ordinary.

in Court of Ordinary.
An amusing incident was enacted
in the Court of Ordinary yesterday.
when a we'll known young man who
desired to sign his name to certain
papers of administration, filled in the
blank spaces on a written lunacy form,
and as a result unwittingly swore that
one of his best friends was a fit sub
ject for a lunatic asylum.
Before me personally came and APP
peared A. Jasme," the affidavit read,
who being duly sworn, says that NJ
]. Doyle, Jr., is insane; that it is neces-
sary for the public peace and safety,
and especially for his own protection,
that the said lunatic should no longer
be left at large Wherefore he makes
this affidavit that all such proceedings
may be had as are usual and neces-
sary in the premises"
Mr.. Doyle went to the Court of Or
binary for the purpose of signing a
bond as administrator of an estate,
Mr.. Jasme accompanying him to sign
the bond as surety. Under the impress
sion that he was signing, qualifica ton
form, he filed in the name of Mr.
Doyle "Hei ever tiieIe was DldHk
space on the printed form, with the
result as indicated.
When the error was discovered both
gentlemen, as we'll as Clerk Molina,
enjoyed a hearty laugh. The clerk hui
morQusly remarked that as Judge Nc
Alpin was not present at that time, it
would be necessary for the parties to
wait until his return in order that a
warrant might be issued. The admin
istration bond was signed. and the
two visitors left the office, Mr. Jasme
with the lunacy affidavit in his possess
sion, which he declared he would flash
the first time that Mr.. Doyle attempt
ed to tell q Joke on him.
