TOURIST RATES NOV.I
SAVANNAH PLACED ON FOOTING OF
FLORIDA TOURIST POINTS.
ACTION BY THE TRUNK LINES.
CHARLESTON, AUGUSTA, AIKEN
AND CAMDEN IN THE LIST.

President EstfII of the Chamber of
Commerce Notified of the Action
of the Trunk Lines Through Gen.
Pass. Agent Boyd of the Pennsyl-
VAnia RaiIrOad-AH of the south
ern Lines Favored It-Rates VIII
BE in Eject From November I'm
til Mny-SOuthern Travel Expect
ed TO Opcn Early This season and
Large Influx of Tourists in Sa-
Vannah Looked For.
Savannah is TO have tourist rates, and
at once. President ]. H. Estill OF the
Chamber of Commerce received a tel
egram from Washington last night
that the Pennsylvania Railroad had
announced that the trunk lines have
made Savannah, Charleston, Augusta,
Aiken and Camden winter tourist
points. on the basis of regular excur-
SION rates, and these will be issued i'm
medate7y.
The action of the trunk lines was the
result of the efforts OF all the Southern
lines reaching the points TO which tour
list tickets will be sold. The rates will
go into effect Nov. l. and tickets will
be sold until April l. with a limit to
May /.
Means Much to savannah.
What the reduction will be is not
yet known. but the round trip rate
from New York to Savannah win prob
ably be about $42. 1t is not altogether
in the reduced rate, how
ever, that the advantage of
being a tourist point lies. The ad-
vertising of Savannah, for instance.
throughout the North and West as a
tourist center means a great deal in
the way of bringing people here.
Since the fight for tourists rates was
begun by the Chamber of Commerce,
every influence has been brought to
bear on the railroads to secure them.
The trouble heretofore has been with
the Northern trunk lines. General
Passenger Agent Boyd of the Penn
sylvania took up the matter some time
ago in the interest of the Southern
lines and at a recent conference in
New York favorable action was taken.
The result it is expected will be a
large influx of tourists with the open
ing of the winter season both in Sa-
vannah and the other places which
have been placed on the same basis,
sc far as rates go.
Will Begin In Two Weeks.
With the rates becoming op-
erative November Southern
travel will probably be earlier this
year than usual, and more people will
take advantage of the opportunity to
visit a greater section of the South
than they have been able to hereto
fore. Until now the only points out
side of Florida that have had the adj
vantage of tourist rates have been New
Orleans and Mexico
In the securing of the rates the eff
forts and influence of the Chamber
of Commerce which has made a de-
termined fight to have Savannah placed
on footing with Jacksonville and
other Florida cities, have been largely
successful
The decision to add Savannah and
the other points named to tourist rate
lists will necessitate a good deal of
advertising by the railroads. and this
will be taken up at once in order to
have the rates effective Nov

was that she caused members of the

TWO SHAMROCKS RACE
Lipto s's Cup Hunter Bests the First Sham
rock Twenty Four Minutes In
Thirty-Mile Run.

New York, June 29.-Sir Thomas
Lipton's new cup challenger Shamrock
LIIhas been given her first test in Unit
ed States waters in an informal trial
with Shamrock 1 off Sandy Hook. In
the first ten miles of fifteen-mile beat
to windward, in a very light air, the
new boat beat the old one about ten
minutes, and in a run Of fifteen miles
to leaward. nine minutes.
There was long, gentle sea, and the
new challenger slipped Clearly over it,
making little fuss under her bow. TAX
ing into consideration the assertion by
British yatchmen that Shamrock l is
ten minutes faster in a thirty-miie
course than she ever was, and fully as
much faster than Shamrock II, the
new boats first performance on this
side of the Atlantic marks her as prob
ably the most dangerous challenger Sir
Thomas has brought over.

ChoHrfUlDeSS.

Cheerfulness is a duty one owes to
oneself as we'll as to ones neighbors,
for nothing SO units one for the Or
binary duties of life or SO quickly
brings on premature old age as mo-
rose temper says the Brooklyn Eagle.
There are plenty of artificial aids to
cheerful 1ss within the reach of every
one who has real or imaginary cause
for i'll humor or a congenital tendency
to surliness. When things don't go
right or your liver is guilty of neglect
Of duty strive Systematically to achieve
good humor by repeating over and
over the best funny stories or bits of
humorous poetry you know. If con-
scientiously administered this prescrip
ton is an infallible remedy for the
most acute tit of blue devils. If you
doubt it just try the experiment.

were shot and severely wounded in a
trolley car between Media and Ches,
ter. A negro, believed to have been
seeking revenge because the conduc-
tor Of the car recently elected him, dis
charged both barrels of shotgun at
the car as it passed a lonely spot in
the country. The car was crowded
and the shots, coming from the dark
roadside. caused a wild fright among
the passengers, most of whom were
women. Four of the latter were
among tho wounded.

Reasoning Power In Animals.

Animal intelligence, though not nee
essarily higher in degree when they are
acting as our servants and not for their
own ends, is then very much more east
~ approached and understood by U.S.
The point is Il curious example of
an action in which instinct and reason
meet. The stopping of the dog, howev-
err it began, has by training and heredi-
ty become instructive. The dog, even
when quite Il puppy, stops when it
smells the game and remains almost
paralyZed, its impulse to rush in and
seize it being checked by strong in
stinct to stand still. Yet the dog, after
lie had accompanied his master and
had game shot over him, is quite
aware that he is a half controlled me
dium," and while still under the domi-
mating pointing" instinct will look
round implOringly to his master to urge
him to hurry up if the scent tells him
that the birds are moving. A border
line action of Il different kind is the
sQuatting of young birds. 1t is per-
fectly reasonable precaution. Keeping
still and lying low are not characteris-
tics peculiar only to Br'er Rabbit but
it is most remarkable to see the way
in which tiny peewits or little teal,
hardly bigger than a fluffy bee, lie
down, put their little chins fiat on the
ground and remain motionless for min
utes to avoid being seen.
