SOUTH GEORGIA TRADE:
ITS GROWING IMPORTANCE
Is 1t Slipping Away from Savannah e-What
Should BE Done to Hold It,

I Macon paXs very little attention to any
other section, but works South Geor-
gia to a finish. Charlestons drummers
are to be found in every hamlet. Most
any hotel register seventy-five miles
from Savannah will show more arriv-
ais from each of the three former cities
than Savannah. Why this is l am not
prepared to say. Let the Retail Mer-
chants Association invite the travelling
men of Savannah to meet with them,
and no doubt some of the reasons
| could be explained.
Why is it that when the farmer, the
mill man and the naval stores man
wants mules he goes to Atlanta. Are
there any large mule dealers in Sa-
vannah?
Why is it when a man wants to buy
a small saw mill he goes to Macon or
Atlanta? Are there any dealers in Sa-
vannah who keep them in stock? There
are other questions on the same line
which could be asked, lots of them.
They should be answered and the
things to which they point, corrected.
Savannah is now to a certain extent
tied up by the railroads, almost at
their mercy. Are the people who
own large interests in the city willing
to let things remain as they are, when
they could, by building one compare
lively shore line, do more for the city
through it are doing for it?
Take a map of Georgia and draw
line from Savannah through the towns
of Clyde, Glennville, Baxley, Douglas,
Nashville. Moultrie, to BainbriGGe. Go
back to Baxley, draw another to Fitz-
gerald and Albany. What would such
a road be worth to Savannah owned
by Savannah capital? The business is
already there, and the road would be
a money Garner from the beginning.
Savannah has the capital, why not
build it, and keep it? Every town in
Georgia west of the Southern's Macon
to Brunswick line. and south of the
Seaboard's Savannah to Montgomery
line is now nearer Jacksonville than
Savannah. The Sea board and Coast
Line are now sending naval stores
from South Georgia and Florida to
Jacksonville on that account. The
line of road as indicated above would
change this state of affairs consider
ably. Therefore, the road would still
be worth millions to Savannah, even
if owned by Northern capital.
Savannah can take the trade of the
wiregrass If she will. If she does
not do something at once it will be
alienated to such an extent that it will
be a question whether she will ever
be able to command it again.

TOOK A STRAW VOTE,
Interesting Experiment in a Restau-
rant.

An advertising agent. representing a
prominent New York magazine while
on recent Western trip, was dining
one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he glanc-
ed over his newspaper and noticed the
advertisement of a well-known dyspep-
STA preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets; as he himself was a regular
user of the tablets he began specializing
as to how many of the other travelling
men in the dining room were also
friends of the popular remedy for in
digestion.
men at the tables. and in the hotel
Office / took the trouble to interview
them, and was surprised to learn that
nine of the twenty-three made a prac-
tice of taking one or two of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
"One of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that at
one time he had been obliged to quit
the road, but since using Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets had been entirely free
from indigestion, but he continued their
use. especially while travelling, on ac-
count of irregularity in meals and be-
cause like all travelling men he was
often obliged to eat what he could get
and not always what he wanted.
'Another, VINO looked the picture of
health. said he never ate meal with
out taking a Stuart Tablet afterward,
because he could eat what he pleased,
and when he pleased. without fear of
a sleepless night or any other trouble.
still another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach, causing
pressure on heart and lungs, shortness
of breath and distress in chest, which
he no longer experienced since using
the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets was the only safe reme-
dy he had ever found for sour stomach
and acidity, he had formerly used com
mon soda to relieve the trouble. but the
tablets were much better and safer TO
use"
After smoking. drinking or other ex-
cesses which weaken the digestive or
gans, nothing restores the stomach to
healthy wholesome condition so eff
I. feetually as Stuart's Tablets
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the natural digestives, pepsin, diastase
which every weak stomach lacks, as

CHASED A GYPSY.
WaycrOss Was Excited over the
Event-Other News.


Waycross, Ga, Jan. 29.-The police
had an exciting chase after a Gypsy
on Albany avenue this morning. The
man finally escaped, after leading the
officers a hard run for several miles
into the country The Gypsy was
named Edwards. and is wanted at
Jasper, Fla, for crime committed at
that place a short time ago. He has
been stationed with his party on the
outskirts of Waycross for the past two
weeks. The officers here to-day re-
ceived a telegram from Jasper stat
ing that Edwards was wanted there,
and Immediately Policemen Cotting-
ham and Mcclellan started out to ar
rest him.
They met Edwards driving in a bug
gy down Plant avenue, and when they
started towards him. the man whipped
up his horse and went In a gallop
down the street. At the Court House
he stopped long enough to change his
buggy and harness for a saddle, and
when the officers arrived, Edwards had
just started off in a swift gallop down
Albany avenue. Three shots were fired
at the fleeing man, but this only has
tened his speed. The policemen secur-
ca a mack ana followed EDWARDS, but
were easily distanced. The chase
created great excitement while it last

Mr.. f. ]. Perry, clerk of the Supe-

purposes. Mr.. Thomas Cole has a deed
for lot No 10, and his family has been

Dublin, Ca, Jan. 29.-The action of
the retail men of Savannah should be
commended in every respect but one,
namely, they should have started soon
er. However, the short-sightedness of
the people of Savannah can yet be
overcome with concerted action.
Any man who will travel over the
wiregrass section of Georgia can't help
but realize that nature intended it TO
be the most densely populated section
of the entire South. The people them
selves have only realized it in the last
few years. Every year brings it's grad
ually increasing immigration. mostly
from the hills of North Georgia and
South Carolina. The people of the
North are beginning to look longingly
towards the rolling wiregrass lands,
and you can find a liberal sprinkling
of them in the towns and on the farms.
The old-timer who cut a few logs
every year and floated them on the
creeks and rivers to Darien and lived
a year on the prdNeds belongs to the
past. In his place is the hustling resi-
dent of a railroad town or county seat,
who earnestly believes he lives in a
future metropolis. and is striving to
push it as much as possible The
man who formerly had a small drove
of cattle, few razorbacks and five
or ten-acre corn field and cotton patch
is no more. In his place is the busy
FARMER, who is not contented with rude
and simple farm implements which
only scratch the surface.
The modern mower, disc plows, disc
and cutaway harrows, two-horse sulky
plows are now a necessity in the wire
grass section. Two and three times the
maximum yield of twenty-five years
ago is an ordinary crop now. The pro-
duction of the lands are limited only
by the science and work applied. The
haphazard farmer is being replaced
with the educated men who applies
the same common sense and scientific
principles to his farming as are applied
to the trades and professions. An
other generation will see the wiregrass
section of Georgia supporting a popu-
lation as large or larger than the
population of the entire South now.
All this territory is naturally tribu-
tary to Savannah But what is the
condition now in regard to trade? At
lanta gets the bulk of her trade from
South Georgia. Augusta sells South
Georgia large sprinkling of goods.

Hunting Bear in Colorado.

The spring season is comparatively
brief as the fur is only in prime con-
dition for a short time after the bears
come out. They take Immediately to a
vegetable diet and a strenuous life
which soon works off the layers of fat
and by the first of June the fine win
ter coat becomes thin and more or less
SHAGGY. BY September, however, the
fur is again in good condition, and from
then on, hunting Is good until real win
ter sets in, and the first big lasting
snow storm sends BruiD hunting for
shelter. The latter is not necessarily in
"a dark den in the rocks or in the cave
formed by the roots of some fallen
giant of the forest for the falling giant
is seldom considerate enough to form
anything which could seriously be call
! ed a cave" and good rock dens are
few and far between. If winter comes
on gradually, the bear will take some
time in selecting a really good den. but
if it sets in suddenly and in earnest
with a big snow storm, the bear will
hole up in any sort of shelter; fallen
trees, piles of brush. bushes. or lodges
of rock, and almost invariably on the
northerly sides of the mountains, where
the snow lies longest and they can sleep
till the melting snow trickles in on
them and drives them out.
The method of hunting is the same in
both seasons, but the feeding grounds
differ In the fall they collect where
the berries grow. Dul III the SBAAhE OhS
