RAILROADS DO NOT CONNECT.
Citizens Of Fitzgerald and other
Towns Appeal to Commission.

Atlanta, Ga-Chairman McLendon
of the railroad commission of Geor-
gia has received numerous complaints
from citizens Of Fitzgerald, Abbeville,
Rochelle and Ocilla about the failure
OF the Southern and Seaboard to con
meet at Helena. .9S
1t seems that the Southern, which
carries the mail from Atlanta and all
points north, east and west, leaves At
lanta about midnight and arrives at
Helena at 5:45 a. m. The Seaboard
train from Savannah to Americas
passes Helena at 5ll0 or just thirty
five minutes before the arrival ~of the
Southern. The result Of this failure
to make connection is to cause seri-
GUS Inconvenience to all the people
west of Helena served by the Sea-
board and to cause an extensive de-
lay In the delivery of mail.
These facts have been reported to
the railroad commission. Chairman
MeLendon declares he Is unable to
make a ruling offhand on this point
or until full hearing before the full
commission He is willing to cali this
hearing, If desired.

Since Flood.

Augusta, Ga-Captain A. H. HUI
guet, United States Army, here in
connection with the food conditions,
has returned from a trip Of inspection
down the Savannah valley. He was
accompanied by Congressman j. O.
Patterson. He reports that the Sec
ton below Augusta suffered greatly.
Crops are completely destroyed, and
a number of houses were washed
away. The people, mostly negroes,
are in extreme distress. In some
spots the damage was worse than at
Augusta. Captain Huguet has ORDER
ed government supplies sent there.
AT Robins 40 miles down, the water
was SO feet deep. Robins is In ba-
sin, ordinarily protected from flood
waters by high bank. Water got
over this bank and did great damage.
AS a result Of the recent food, the
public schools will not open until the
first of October, two weeks late. The
enrolment of pupils was made Mon
day morning, and the schools were
closed until the call OF teachers is
made. This measure Is occasioned by
a lack of water, and the consequent
complications of crowded buildings.
The work of cleaning up the city is
progressing well, and nearly every
vestige Of the work wrought by the
food has been removed. The i'm
proyement Of the streets has been
rapid and Will continue until finished.

THE wARsHIP OF THE FUTURE
FredcfA0n of En@neer rseIie
Gas Engnes Will BE vessers -, enc
rev Years, which Will Make Them sIno1e1ess,
NoiSe4ess Craft and

Washington, D. C.-The war vessel
OF the future will be swift, smoke
less, no1seless craft, lying low in the
water, with every vulnerable part be-
low the water line, the entire deck
being for the work of the guns. There
will be no smoke, because there will
be mo- smokestacks. In the night
time there will be nothing to betray
the presence Of this invincible fight
ing demon to the enemy.
This prediction was made by Rob
ert Haywood Fernald, mechanical en-
gineer, who has for several wears
been connected with the fuel inyesti
cations of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey. Mr.. Fernald believes
that the gas engine, or internal com
bustion motor, as it is called by engi-
neers, will be installed in naval YES
sells OF the United States within the
next few years.
Il expect to see the United States
ahead of every other nation in this
innovation" said Mr.. Fernald. The
gas engine, in my opinion, is feasible
on any vessel because of its economy
over the steam engine, but it is espe-
cially desirable on the fighting shin
for the reason that it makes no
smoke. The gas is generated in a
producer which has no chimney and
needs none. The coal is turned di-
rectly into gas, which goes straight
to the engine.
The elimination of the smoke is
sufficient to call for the installation
of the gas engine, yet there are MANY
other features in its favor. The yes.
sci would have free deck for the
play Of its big guns. There would be
no towering stacks to be punctured
or destroyed, thus Gripping the boat
Then it would be unnecessary to
carry as much coal, for the same
power can be developed with one,

Madison, Wis. - An eventual en-
dowment of $50, 100000 for the Wis

the will of Colonel William F. Villas,
former member of the Cleveland Cab

died here recently.
The will was filed for probate and
provides that the estate, valued at
from 100000 to 100000, be
placed in the hands of four trustees
to be held in trust as long as Mrs.

Picture Show Is Highly Recommend.
ed by Citizens.
Tomorrow will be the first day of
the Princess rink, which will continue
until Saturday evening.
The pictures on exhibition are such
as will be suitable for schoOlroom
purposes, and 1t is due to the energy
of the corps of teachers in the public
schools and their desire to improve
the schoolrooms that the art exhibit
is held.
Principal Davis of the public
schools has seen and is acquainted
with the exhibit, and has the follow
ing to say concerning it: Il saw this
exhibit in Spokane last year. All the
pictures contained in 1t are illustra-
tive of objects of worldwide interest
and of great educational value, and
are especially suitable for schoolroom
decoration. 1t was decided success
in Spokane"
Miss Jessie l.. Hopkirk, instructor
of Latin and senior English in the
high school, has also seen the exhibit
and said: I'VE had the exhibit at
Eagle Grove, Iowa, and found in very
satisfactory. AS result every school
room in the city has at least one ex-
cellent picture. The pictures show
genuine artistic merit and in our
school proved a valuable aid in
school work. The old masters, as
well as the modern, are represented.

CAPTAIN HoRsoN IS COMING
Noted Naval Officer WIN visit Occur
d,AIene SATURDAY..

d'Alene Saturday.
Announcement is definitely made
Of Captain HObson's appearance here
at the Auditorium next Saturday
night. The committee is not pleased
with having its great celebrity of the
course come on Saturday night, but
prefer to have him then than to lose
having him at all. And that was the
only other alternative. The famous
hero of the Merrimac Is now a promi-
nent member Of congress at Washing
ton, and his presence there has been
absolutely imperative during the last
two weeks. when his bill for building
four new battleships, instead OF two,
was under fire. This was the cause
of the postponement of the lecture in
this city from the 18th to the 25th
of this month. But the captain began
his western tour In Colorado last
Monday, and there is now no danger
of further postponement or disap-
pointment.
Much interest in Hobson's lecture
tour is being manifested on the Pa
cific slope. The entire country is
waking up to the fact that our San
tiago hero has been unjustly ridlculed
for the last few years and that he
knows more about his country's navy
its strength, weakness and needs
than any other man alive. Last year,
especially. everybody accused the new
congressman from Alabama of seek
ing notoriety when he insisted so
strenuously that we are threatened
with war with Japan. But a good
many others have since come to be-
lieve that Hobson is no alarmist and
is actually justified by all too appar-
ent facts to cry the word of warning
that is none too pleasant to hear.
The coming to the Pacific coast by
our naval hero and champion is pc
culiarly happy at this time, when
the great Meet Is being received with
so much enthusiasm. The object OF
each visit is the same-to create
greater popular interest in the navy.
1t is entirely possible, IL not probable,
that these events will bring such inn
portant results as to make one equal
ly proud to boast in the future that
he heard Hobson give his lecture on
the navy and saw the big feet on the
Pacific coast
Hobson's lecture is the last number
of the lecture course that has been
such a success this winter. The COM
mittee is to be congratulated on
bringing each of the celebrities prom
Used, and in furnishing some of the
finest entertainments ever enjoyed in
