PRESIDENT BALDWIN
WRITES ABOUT TRACKS.
II is Not Thought Now whitaker
Tracks Will be Taken Up.

Tracks Will be Taken Up.
President George ]. Baldwin of the
Savannah Electric Company wrote a
letter to Mayor Myers yesterday, stat
ing that he would he glad to confer
with the Council committee in regard
to the removal of the car tracks from
Whitaker street at any time that suit
ed the committee.
The letter will not reach the Mayor
until this morning, and some time early
next week will probably be chosen for
the conference. In his letter to the
Mayor Mr.. Baldwin also states his po-
sition in regard to the removal of the
tracks, and until the letter is in the
Mayors hands he declines to discuss
the matter, except to say he will be
glad to meet with the city officials.
1t is not thought the street car Of
ficials oppose the moving of the tracks.
though they want to be certain no
other company will ever be granted a
franchise on the street. While Council
cannot give any guarantee on this
point, it is not believed any other COM
pany would ever be given the privilege
of using the street.
Since the development of so much
opposition to the removal of the tracks,
however, it is thought the plan cannot
be put through. 1t is said any one of
the bondholders of the old City and
Suburban Company. which was absorb
ed by the Savannah Electric Company,
could enjoin the road from taking the
tracks up.
There Were bonds issued by the old
company and the, present company
gave mortgage to protect these bonds
at the time the consolidation was
made. With so many complications,
and number of merchants opposing
| the plan 1T is not thought it can ever
be carried through.

time in the employ of Judge Norwood.
Backus was proud to acknowledge he
had RECALLED the early morning hours
while i'm the employ of the Judge with
his songs, and entertained the hope
that perhaps his sentence would be
lighter therefor. All three. however,
were sent in together and will come out

MUCH NGGuCu

sidewalk through the Park Extension,

GRATIFIED OVER
RATE DECISION
VICTORY FOR COMMITTEE.
SAVANNAH ONLY FIGHTING
AGAINST DISCRIMINATION.

If Low Rates Ever Go Into Effect Sa-
vannnh VIII Get Them at same
Time Atlanta Does, and That Was
All Committee Wanfed-MayOr My
ers, Chairman of Committee, Very
Much Pleased and Alderman Dixon
is Also Gratified.
General satisfaction was expressed
here yesterday over the action of the
Railroad Commission in granting Sa-
vannah the same rates proposed for
Atlanta in Circulars 301 and 302.
Even before the commission acted on
the matter. Mayor Myers had received
a. letter from Chairman Brown of the
Railroad Commission, stating that the
rates would be satisfactorily adjusted.
Savannah, as Mayor Myers explained
some time ago, has not been fighting
for the lower rates granted TO Atlanta
in the circulars, which have not yet
been put into effect. The committee
took no position one way or the other
as to whether the lower rates were
right, but claimed if they were to be
given TO Atlanta, then Savannah
should have them.
Mayor is Gratified.
IAN we wanted was that Savannah
should he given just as low rates as
any other place" said the Mayor. 1--WE
never fou ght for the lower rates. but
simply asked that they be given to us,
if they were given to Atlanta
''Of course the lower rates do not go
into effect either for this point or At
lanta so long as the cases in court are
continued, and 1 am inclined to think
the matter viii be carried to the Su-
preme Court of the United States. But
if they should be put into effect for
Atlanta, why. Savannah will get them
at the same time"
The fight that the Mayor and his
committee were making was against
the low rates for Atlanta going into
effect even for a few days, without
the same privileges being granted Sa-
vannah. There was grave doubt ex-
pressed here as to the advisability of
the low rates, but all agreed if they
We're ever put into effect for one point
Savannah would keep up the fight un-
til the same rateS were secured, The
lower rates for Atlanta, without Sa-
Nannah being given rates equally low,
would divert trade into unnatural
channels, even though Savannah were
later given the same rates. it was ar
gued.
Another One Pleased.
Alderman James NJ. Dixon. chair
man of Council. who is a large ship
per here. also expressed his pleasure
at the action of the commission. He
thinks Savannah would have been a.
long time getting the rates. however,
had hard fight not been made. He
says it was the work of the commit
tee that saved this point from being
Disseminated against
But we will get the low rates now,
If Atlanta gets them, and that is all
we desired he said. with fair rates
Savannah can easily hold her own
against Atlanta, or any other city.
Had we sat quietly under the discrim-
ination, though, trade here would have
been irreparably damaged, if Circulars
301 and 1902 had ever gone into effect.

SQUIRRELS FOR PARK
WILL BE SECURED
Mayor of Baltimore Will Present Al
derman Dixon with Them.


The Mayor of Baltimore has written
to Alderman Dixon. stating he intend
ed to send him a number of squirrels
for the park here.
AS soon as the squirrels arrive they
will be turned loose in Forsyth Park
Some time ago. it will be remembered,
several squirrels were put in the park
by the Park and Tree Commission, but
most of them have disappeared. Mr..
Dixon proposes to see that the new
squirrels are not molested.
These little animals add a great deal
to the attraetiveness of a park, and
soon become very gentle, if they are
protected from dogs. In many of the
parks the squirrels will climb up on
benches beside people for food. They
become so gentle they will eat from
the hand of even a stranger.

story of Terrapin's Memory
From the Baltimore Sun.

sun.
That Bre'r Tarrypin has memory is
proved by a story told by Young d.
Hance, who owns the birthplace of
Chief Justice fancy, on Battle Creek,
in Calvert county.
Mr.. Hance keeps a small boat under
a mulberry tree on the shore of the
creek, and on going to the boat early
one morning he noticed a dry land
terrapin busily engaged in eating
few mulberries which had fallen. Mr.
Hance, wishing to assist Br'er Terra
pin I'm getting his breakfast, gathered
some mulberries and pitched them to
him one at a time. In a very short
time the terrapin began to catch the
berries in his mouth exactly as they
were thrown to him. Every day aft
erward a slight knock on the side Of
the boat would bring the tewapin out
for his mulberries. and Mr.. Hance
often took his friends and visitors to
see his pet.
On one occasion a fresh young man
threw a piece of tobacco to the terra
pin instead of a mulberry Br'er Tar
rypin retired at once In disgust, and
for days afterward refused TO come
when called. Although Mr.. Hance fin-
ally induced him to come again for
his mulberries. Br'er Tarrypin remem-
bered the tobacco and would never
approach unless Mr.. Hance was alone

Carrie Nation takes a fall out Of
tobacco, in the following bit of word
painting, which will no doubt serve
as a warning to all users of the weed:
Tobacco is sinking weed, aud the
man who smokes is stinker aud the
woman who smokes is a stinkaree.
Tobacco came from hell, where it was
planted by satan, and I Isay, therefore.
to hell with tobacco. A cigar is worse
than skunk. You shoot a skunk,
but you dare not shoot pipe smoker.
Bah! You're towards! You're afraid
of Jim Duke and the tobacco
trust! If you only killed off
hundred nasty, slimy smokers every
cigar man would be frightened to
death and would go broke. Tobacco's
no good. It's poison. It kills bugs
better than roach paste; it kills flies,
mosquitoes, feas, moths and cater
pillars; 1t kills small boys, dudes and
old men who ought to know better"
