The matter of increased freight rates
on yellow pine. which the railroads
have announced will go into effect
April IS, and which will consist OF on
addition of cents a hundred pounds
from points of production to the Chic
river and Mississippi river crossings
and points beyond. was brought to the
attention of a meeting of the transport
tatiOn of the Chamber of Commerce
Wednesday afternoon and thoroughly
discussed. with the result that resoIu-
lions were passed protesting against
it.
The details of the question consid-
crcd. the interests involved and the
protest of the Chamber of Commerce
ed by the committee, of which copies
will be furnished the traffic officials of
the railroads as follows:
Whereas, the lumber trade inter
ests of Georgia and the adjoining
states is of the first consideration to
the city of Savannah by reason of the
individual and corporate interests of
our people in this great industry CEN
tering here, and
Whereas, it has come to our knowl-
edge that certain railroads entering
the South have given notice of a pro-
posed advance in yellow pine freight
rates on and after April Is, 1903, of
? cents, per hundred pounds. from
points of production to Ohio and Mis-
sissippi river crossings and destina-
tons beyond, where the major portion
of certain grades of yellow pine from

ped, and
Whereas, such action simply shuts
out of a territory the manufacturers
of this section, gained after a hard
fight and the expenditure of much
time and money as illustrated by the
accompanying diagram, turning this
territory over to the lower grades of
Canada and elsewhere, and
Whereas. such an increase in rates
is without justification or excuse and
purely arbitrary, lumber being charg-
ed to-day a higher rate of freight than
iron. steel, coal, cotton or corn, now
therefore be it
Resolved, By the Transportation
Committee of the Savannah Chamber
of Commerce, in special session, that
we view with disfavor and condemna-
ton the proposed advance in yellow
pine freight rates as prejudicial to, and
discriminative against one of the first
and foremost industries of this section
and state, and most respectfully but
urgently ask that all railroads parties
to the matter in controversy speedily
withdraw any and all advances what
soever on yellow pine lumber from the
South to points of Northern, Western
and Eastern destination upon the
broad and philanthropic principle that
hundreds and thousands of our people
are either directly or indirectly inter-
ested in lumber and such an embargo
on one of the leading products of this
state and section will not only work a

A VISIT TO BONAVENTURE.

What is so rare as a day in June?"
Well. a day in Savannah, called
March in the almanac, may leave the
impress of a beautiful June morning,
if one is suddenly transported from the
wintry North, with the remembrance
of the uncompromising gales that
chronicle that most tedious month of
skies, the cheerful warm-hearted
friends, all conspire to make life worth
living here.
A drive to Bonaventure, the beautiful
city of the dead, makes one grateful
that such a resting place has been
work and with folded hands have gone
to sleep. The long avenues, with the
water oaks, the long gray moss lrail
ing almost to the ground; wisteria
creeping into the very tree tops, makes
a combination of color to fill the eye
of an artist with delight. The monu-
ments have meaning in their proper
tions, and the peacefulness of the plots
near the water side makes one very
grateful.
The Lawton Memorial, carved in
marble, is a grand testimonial to a
grand man. Almost every Enclosure
has the beautiful spirea, with it's droop-
ing boughs-a mass of pure whiteness,
most appropriate to the place, and
most grateful to the eye. The azaleas
bloom in great perfection. The blue
sky and the gray moss seem woven
into rainbow of peace. The dear ones
are laid away with tears, but they are
not forgotten, and loving hands lay
flowers at their feet and gentle breezes
sing the sad requiem. "Requiescat in
pace" is the prayer of every visitor

Outside Agreement.

Outside Agreement.
The Travellers Protective Associa-
ton in Georgia is working hard just
now through it's energetic Railroad
Committee to secure from the South
ern Railway, the Georgia Southern and
Florida and the Central of Georgia
Railway the privilege of interchange
able mileage books. The travellers
now have the books good on many of
the roads, but the companies named
have not acceded to the requests made
for such books, and it now appears
that numerous petitions will be sign
ed and sent to the roads, urging the
granting of the concession.
The petition will read as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned merchants.
manufacturers and commission men of
the state of Georgia hereby respectful
ly request your railroad to adopt the
use of the interchangeable mileage
book now in force over large major
ity of the other railroads of Georgia
and throughout the South Atlantic
states. We are vitality interested in all
matters which tend to facilitate and
enlarge traffic in this section and con-
hdently believe that in the future de-
velopment and growth OF trade and
commerce in the Southern states the
grant of this request will rebound
greatly to the benefit and financial adj
vantage of your railroad, as we'll as of
ourselves and will Furthermore great
ly promote and encourage that recipro-
cal cordially and good feeling which
should naturally exist between your
railroad and the steadily increasing
number of it's patrons.

tween your railroad and ourselves en-
titles us to this concession"

APPETITE.

THE SYSTEM.
We Will Refund the Price Of
VinOl if 1t Fails.

" The worst part of sickness, frequent
~, is getting over it.
The patients strength is depleted,
his system is generally demoralized,
relapses are continually feared, and
naturally.
The one thing to aid recovery is to
give the patient that which vii enable
him to get strong, and at the same time
give strength direct to the different
organs of the body.
Nothing will do this like Vinol.
1t acts directly on the stomach, Gre
ates healthy appetite, and enables
the digestive organs to obtain the nee
essary elements to increase the weight
of the patient and to make new healthy
flesh and muscle tissue and pure, rich,
red blood.
The following is letter showing
where Vinol was taken and did good
after case of sickness. 1t reads as
follows:
~ wish to certify to the very great
benefit which has been derived from
the use of Vinol in my family My
wife was very sick with the grippe and
afterward was wholly run down. One
bottle of Vinol places her on her feet

before in six months. l heartily rec
