FOR SPECIAL ELECTIONS.
Attorney General Hart Urges an
Amendment.

In his report for the year 1908,
which has just been completed, Attor-
ney General John C. Hart recon-
mends that the registration act of last
year be amended so as to provide for
holding special elections prior to the
first general election, which will not
be held until 1910.
The act made no provision for spe-
cial elections to be held before the
general election next year, which has
resulted in great misunderstanding
and confusion.
Among other things the attorney
general also recommends that ordina-
ries should be allowed some sort of
remuneration for their services in col
Iecting the near beer taxes if this
duty is to be imposed upon them in
future
The report embodies all the opin-
ions rendered by the attorney general
during the year past and shows that
if has been a year filled with hard
labor and productive of much good to
the state.

FOWLS ARE SELLING
AT TOP NOTCH PRICES

Chicago, May 2l-Live fowls are
now selling in this city at the highest
prices paid in many years, accord
ing to statements of south Water
street men today. Incidentally the
famous Thanksgiving day bird, the
turkey, is at discount compared
with its smaller rival, the former
selling today at Is cents per pound
live weight, while live hens were
bringing 16 cents. This condition of
affairs is said to be due to the unus-
ually high price which has prevailed
for grain during the last year and to
the record breaking price of eggs.
which, during the spring months, has
been the highest ever recorded for the
similar period in this market.

AS OPPOSITION
TO LOCAL LINES
WEEKLY TRIPS WILL HARDLY BE
SATISFACTORY TO PEOPLE
ALONG THE LINE.

With the establishment of a
steamer Inc between Savannah and
Fernandina, with stops at Brunswick
and Darien, Savannah wholesalers
and others are figuring on taking all
of the business away from Brunswick
between this city and Darien and
Fernandina. as well as intermediate
stops.
The new line, with one steamer, ex-
poets to make a round trip from Sa-
yannah to Fernandina once@ week,
with Stops at Darien, Brunswick. Fer
nandina and other points and from
Fernandina to make a trip up the
Satilla river 1t will take steamer
of record breaking speed, however, to
accomplish this.
In a long article in the Savannah
News of yesterday regarding the new
line, It is pointed out that it will open
up new territory for Savannah from
a bus ness standpoint. IN part the
article says;
Only freight will be carried for a
time, as that brings in the great bulk
of the income. If the amount of bus
mess in that department is sufficient
to maintain the line, a passenger SER
vice will be instituted later. This
passenger service would be of much
benefit to those living along the way,
as railroad facilities are extremely
difficult to reach.
In many instances men of means
living in the territory which it is pro-
posed to reach have their own pri
yate sloops with which they commun
icate with the outside world. The in
auguration of the service proposed
would render the maintaining of these
sloops unnecessary.
"At the present time the landings
south of Brunswick are made by a
boat which phys between Brunswick
and Fernandina All of the trade in
this territory is naturally diverted to
one of these points, whereas Savannah
would easily, with it's superior trad
ing facilities, both wholesale and re-
tail, offer such evident advantages as
to win almost from the start large
share of this business, and this pro
portion could be increased as the
system of transportation became bet
ter known"
1t is not expected, however that
the new line will interfere very much
with business between Brunswick and
Fernandina and brunswick and Darien
inasmuch as daily trips are now made
to these two ports daily A weekly
trip can hardly be expected to take
away the business of a line running
daily and long established and the
people who are supplied by local
wholesalers will hardly discontinue
their business and give 1t to Savan-
nah merchants. who can reach them
only once a week, if that often.
The new line may prove a success,
but inasmuch as it is covered already
by daily trips. except between Savan-
nah and Darien, it is rather hard to
see where sufficient amount of bus
mess is coming from to make the un
dertaking success. The Emmeline
makes daily trips to Fernandina, the
Hessie goes to Darien daily, while
the business between Fernandina and
s.. Marys river points is looked after
bv the steamer Hildegard.
