Indirect Saving Large.

There II. however, no possible way
of finding out just how much this in.
direct saving would be. Rates on some
freight would be reduced greatly. on
some freight slightly, on some. per.
haps. not at all. But we can get soma
idea of the amount Of freight which
might be Influenced. In the fiscal
year ending June 30. 1907. the total
amount of freight handled by the
railroads Of the United States was
1,796.336.659 tons. Some Of this was
hauled q short distance, some long
distance, and some was handled by
more than one road. but 1t was equal
to 236. 60l. 5000 tons hauled one
mile. II the comprehensive improve
mont Of our waterways should make
an average reduction Of one mill per
ton-mile-the difference in the rates
on salt given above is 70 times as

would make saving Of over $685., $780,.

BATTLESHIP UTAH Is
AHEAD OF THE FLORIDA
Building Race Between the Big Yards
Grows.

Washington, D. c., May 1.-THE
race between the builders of the Flor
ida and the Utah, the two sister TO-
600 ton ships, is getting lively. The
Utah, being built by the New York
Shipbuilding Co., at Philadelphia, has
a considerable lead, having advanced
to 72 per cent. completed on May
1, while at the same time tle Florida
went into the water May II even 65
per cent. completed. The Utah went
in last December slightly over so per
cent. done. The Florida, being built
at a government yard, at New York,
continues to creep ahead. The naval
builders are anxious to redeem them
selves in former contests with pri-
vate yards by delivering the Florida
in less tine than shall be required
to deliver the Utah.

ATLANTA OF SOUTH GEORGIA
Comes Upon a Visit to See the Sights
Here.

Zone could readily imagine himself

genial Cap" Joiner, Atlantas former
mayor and great big citizen, as he
stiod in front of the new postoffice
building yesterday and viewed the
passing hosts of busy people and We
hicles. 1t was the Caps" first visit
in Americas in a bunch of years, but
so enthusiasts is he over Americas
and her general style of getting
there" that he is ready to repeat the
pleasing dose. The genial captain
had been in dear old Macon with the
Elks, of which he is a patriarchal
antler-wearer, and with a party OF
Americas friends boarded one of the
automobiles returning here just to
prolong the pleasure of the week and
see real city since he left Atlanta
He was given a drive over town and
left in the afternoon for his home more
impressed than ever before with the
greatness of South Georgia's capital
city.
