II. y. MILLS-About everybody in
town seems to be on my side.
L. S. HARDESTY-One of the great
mosQuito-breeders is Palolo crater.
SUPERVISOR KRUGER-Its been

GERRIT WILDER think my new
avocado pear from Guatemala is the

EMIL BERNDT-That's the way to
do! Talk up Honolulu as the sani-
tarium it is, not as the plague-spot it
isn't.
JUDGE DOLE of Kauai-No, I am
not opposed to Governor Frear but
disagree with him as to a few de-
tails.
JOHN SMITH am told that the
Board of Health may make it mis-
demeanor to grow any banana within
$50 feet of house.

A threat to shoot with the contin-

before the threat is put into effect,
isn't a threat at all in the eyes of the

have to do in order to keep their skins
whole and to proceed uninterruptedIy
in the pursuit of happiness, is to mind
their own business and stay where
they belong.

The United States Army transport

sending up rockets for assistance that

Xxi, Japan, having suffered a severe
buffeting by fierce typhoon that she
ran into. She cruised around for
awhile, and gently nosed her way up
toward the anchorage. Before she
got there, however, she ran on to
reef and seemed to be stuck pretty
hard. The captain sent UP rockets
for assistance.
AS soon as these were seen, the

it is said, did not have stear up, and
then her crew had 20 be reused. At

DOUBLE TRACKING
OF The CENTRAL
Would Increase Traffic Of the
Road Immensely
Savannah Morning News,)


The alleged authoritative report that
Mr. Loyett, the director of the Harri-
man railroad interests, intends to car
ry out the plans of the late E. H.
Hartman in respect to all of the Har-
riman railroad properties is good news
for this city and state Those plans
included the double tracking of the
Central of Georgia Railway. 1t was
the understanding when Mr.. Hartman
visited Savannah that the double track
ing plan included only that part of
the main line of the Central that is
situated in Georgia, but it is now said
that it includes the entire main line
from Savannah to Birmingham
A few days ago Mr.. Lovett announo-
ed tnat it was his purpose to spend
SIS, 100000 on the Hartman properties
in the next five years, and now it IS
asserted that a part of this money is
4 We spent on the Central of Georgia.
EEVidencly those Hartman plans are on
en- INNER Sc scale and far-reaching
They mean that Savannah is to be
made the Atlantic coast outlet for the
Hartman Pacific railroad systems. The
Central of Georgia connects with the
Illinois Central at Birmingham and
the Illinois Central connects with the
Union and Southern Pacific railroads.
If the plans are carried out the traf-
tic over the Central of Georgia will be
increased immensely, and Savannah's
importance as a port will be greatly
enhanced Savannah would become
the point of shipment for the output Of
the Birmingham mills. Much of this
output goes to South American coun-
tries, and more of it will go there as
railroad building there increases.
Assuming therefore. that the Cen
trail of Georgia is to be doubIe-tracked.
it is possible to see a ray of light so
far as Savannah's getting a portion Of
the South American trade is concerned.
With the Central handling big ship
ments of commodities intended for the
Latin-Americas there would naturally
be shipments to this port from those
countries for distribution in this part
Of the South and the Middle West. It

Central is to be doubled tracked in the
