EMPEROR is C0NVALESClNG
Austrian Ruler Really on the Road to
Recovery.

Vienna, Oct 23.-For the first time
during the illness Of Emperor Francis
Joseph bulletin signed by his doc
tors has been issued. It came out
Tuesday night from the department of
the court chamberlain and it is re-
garded as an indication that the en-
peror really is convalescing. The bull
1etin says:
THE emperor has been suffering
from infectious feverish bronchitis.
During the past five days there has
been no recurrence of fever. The ap-
petite of the patient is satisfactory
and his strength is being relatively
well maintained. The catarrahl symp-
toms, although they have not Vt.
wholly disappeared, have diminished
and it may therefore be considered
certain, in the absence Of unforeseen
developments, that the emperor is
progressing toward recovery"
This statement will dispose of GER

Curing the
Sleeping Sickness

~ REAT interest has been aroused
IN - in the scientific world by the
- ID reports from Africa of th1
work done there by Dr. Robert
Koch in the cure Of the sleeping sick
ness 1t would seem that the noted
German bacterioIogist in discovering q
cure for this strange disease has add
ed to his many professional triumphs
one more important achievement. 1t is
about eighteen months since the dis
coverer of the bacilli of tuberculosis
and cholera left Berlin for central At
RIGA on his latest mission. Letters
from him dated at Sese, near En-
tebbe, Uganda, were recently received
in Berlin. in which some Of the results
of his Investigations and experiments
were recounted. It is reported that ma

In German territory, implored the
."great white wizard" to come and cure
their dying relatives. Accompanied by
DTS. AuUlckC anu Itltl1udul1, TIOlCSS-
or Koch travelled in native boats to
Bukaba and thence by caravan inland
to the village Of Kigaranana, consist
ing of about thousand huts. Here
the natives gave the German phys-
clans a great welcome, erecting huts
for their accommodation and sending
the good news of their arrival to all
the neighboring villages. Within few
days 200 sufferers were brought to the
hospital which the scientists construct
ed and equipped. They received injec-
lions of atoxyl, the lymph devised by
DR.. Koch for the treatment Of the
sleeping sickness after months Of
study and experiment in it's cure. The
professor and his assistants treated
about 400 patients at Kigaranana and
then went to the Shirati region, where
about seventy cases were treated. DR..
Koch's fame spread through all cen

Commission to Consider
A. B. & AS Class.

The freight classification of the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railroad will engage the attention
of the railroad commission at it's
meeting Wednesday. The co NJ
pany has been cited to show cause
why it's classification should not be
changed, and freights be thereby
decreased.
The A. B. & a. is now in class
D, and Is allowed to collect freight
rates some 35 or 40 per cent above
the standard tariff. The commits
sion thinks the business of the
company justifes a higher class
for the road, probably G and may
be B. Roads of class G are allowed
to charge only % per cent in ex-
cess of the standard tariff, while
those of the B, class enjoy a rate
10 per cent above the standard.
Officers of the A. B. & A. have
indicated their purpose to attend
the hearing and combat the motion
to lower the rates. They claim
that the business of the company
does not Justify decrease in rates,
and that any reduction would
seriously interfere with the work
of construction now under way.

Will Slash Rates On
SeaboaFd Air Line?
Railroad Commission Said to
Be Grinding It's Axe Prepar-
atory to Cutting Rates
On S, A. L.

Reports emanating from the cap
itol and other centers of "inside
information" indicate that t h e
railroad commission is grinding it's
axe, preparatory to slashing
freight rates on the SeabOard Air
Line railroad. The board has had
the matter under consideration for
ten days or two weeks, and it is
announced that a decision will be
reached during the current week.
The poverty plea of the s. A.
L., it's said, did not have the de-
sired effect upon the members of
the commission, and it is persis
tenly reported that a circular re
ducing freight rates will shortly be
promulgated. Whether the circu-
lar will ever become operative is
another matter. 1t is a foregone
conclusion that the Seaboard will
en1oin it's enforcement, on t h e
grounds that it is ''confscatory."
According to the report, the
slashing will take the form of a
change in the freight classification
of the road, in so far as it's business
in Georgia is involved. The S. A.
L. is now in class G, and enjoys a
rate some % per cent in excess of
the standard tariff.
The commission recently heard
the Seaboard's reason for opposing
a different classifcatiOn-class B.
and it is said the showing failed to
convince the commission that the
rates should not be lowered.

Georgia immigration
Progresses.
Every Arrangement Made for
Handling the Coming Of
the Right Kind Of
Homeseekers.

The work of the Georgia Immi-
grafton Association will be fully
established by the time the di-
rect immigrant steamship lines
from Europe to Savannah are in
augurated in September. The
state is being thoroughly organic
ed under the auspices of the asso-
citation, and when the immigrants
begin to arrive they will be direct
ed in a systematic manner to the
sections where they are likely to
do best.
John A. Betj eman, chairman of
the executive committee of the as
ISOLATION, whose headquarters are
at Albany, Ga, has aided in form
ing number of county organiza-
lions that will assist the state Or
ganization in it's work of inducing
thrifty and desirable aliens to be-
come citizens of Georgia. He has
found that great many people
are interested in the movement,
and is kept busy supplying infor-
nation to those who apply.
When a state committee, com
posed of hon. Hol1e Smith, COVER
nor elect of Georgia; Hon. G. Gun
by Jordan, of Columbus, and Maj
or w. W. Williamson of Savannah
called on the President to investi
gate labor conditions there the found
that the chief executive was in
thorough accord with the purposes
of the association. Prior to the
committees visit, Mr.. Betjeman
had been in conference with Secre-
tary Straus, Commissioner Sergeant
Secretary Root and Assistant Sec
rotary Bacon. The association is
working in perfect accord with the
law, and, having been organized
for the sole purpose of benefiting
the state and South, is making a
painstaking effort to secure just
the sort of people who are desir-
able as citizens.
The association is working out a
very perfect system for the en-
couragement and distribution of
immigrants. 1t precludes the posi-
bility of immigrants being thrust
upon any community which may
no desire them. 1t offers the OPP
portunity for every community

Freight Business Indicates
Growth Of Fitzgerald.

1t is more than likely that few
of our citizens realize the immen
sity of the freight business i'll
this city. Yesterday we called at
the freight depot of the A. B. u
A., and found agent G. A. jolly,
with his able corps of assistants
fairly immersed in the intreicacies
of receiving and shipping freight.
Nothing but the perfect system
under which it is carried OH could
enable them to turn off the amount
of work that falls to their lot.
Each merchant and business man
in the city has his allotted space in
the warehouse which is $50 feet
long and rs feet wide. Each mer-
chants name, in large letters on
the wall, Indicate the space al
lotted to him and the truckmen
know just where to deposit the
freight when it arrives. In the
center is the miscellaneous freight
and at the rear the furniture. No
haphazard happy go-lucky style
prevails in that building. The
warehouse is in charge of 3. E. Bal
ley whose keen eye takes in every
detail.
w. H. Bailey, chief clerk re-
ceiveS all bills for the inbound
freight from the transfer men and
verifes all in bound billings. He
averages 100 bills q day in the
shipment Of freight, which often
times comes in by the car load
solid cars. The revenue is $500
per day.
Milton Leggett, bill clerk, looks
after all bound billings, aver
aging 1900 y-bilIs per month
which means that there are that
many shipments outbound, show
ing that the inbound shipments
are far in excess of outbound,
which means that Fitzgerald is
growing and not many moving out.
e. E. Bailey the transfer check
clerk checks in all freight in and
out of the ware house, averaging
ten cars day.
+. j. Brown the accountant
looks after rows and rows Of fig
ures which are appalling to our
feminine mind. G. G. Adams check
clerk seemed to be everywhere all
at once. Four truckmen or pOr-
tiers are busy all the time-among
them one of the most faithful-is
Bill Bowden-who occasionally
helps over at the passenger depot
and Bill never fails to get his eye
on the drippings of any contraband
broken whiskey jug coming i'll by
express.
One of the attractive features
of the freight office is the clean
illness of the office, warehouse, and
the clear-cut, clean, manly appear
ance of the employees.
