The cause of the changed condition

Must Maintain a Large Re-
serve Army.

Washington. Eel. 23.-In a farewell
speech to the house, after 20 years
or service, Representative Hull, OF
Iowa, chairman of the military affairs
committee, today urged upon congress
the necessity of supplementing the
regular army with an effective reserve
force Of 100000 trained men.
Mr.. Hull said he did not believe
war imminent, but so long as war re-
manned a possibility, it was criminal
negligence not to make proper pre-
paration for it. He said such a force
could tie maintained for 10000, 900 a
year
Mr.. Hull said he had great respect
Tor the National Guard, but it was pri.
marily state force. His only obiec.
tion to the state militia was the way

force trained In the arts Of war. Mr..
HUI declared this country might

PRAISE FOR OUR
CONVICT FARM
STATE INSPECTOR WEST COM
PLiMENTs SUPERINTENDENT
HlGGiNRoTHAM.
Says We Have One of the Best Sys-
TENS in the State, But Is Surprised
at the Small Number of County Con-
victs on the Gang.

James B. West, of Savannah, state
inspector of prison and convicts, is
in the city on one of his regular In
spection trips. He spent yesterday
looking over the Glynn county con,
vict farm and inspecting the convicts
and will leave today for other coun-
ties in his district.
Il want to compliment your super
intendent of convicts,' said Inspector
West to News reporter yesterday
after he had visited the local camps.
II can say positively that he has one
of the best regulated convict camps
in my district, and your county is to
be congratulated upon having such
an efficient man in charge of the con-
victs."
ICe inspector was very high in his
praise of Supt. Higginbotham. He
said that perfect discipline was main
tanned at the camp at all times and
that the general condition of the 10
cal convicts was away above the aver
age.
But" continued the Inspector, II
Go not understand why there are not
more county convicts on your gang
You have 16 state convicts and the
records show that there are at pres
ent only seven county convicts. This
is decidedly the lowest record of any
county in the territory, and | visit
% counties, and it is probably the
lowest in the state. You should have
double that number of county con-
victs if not more OF course do not
know the reason for such small num-
Der. 1t may tie that you have an un-
usually good county, with few violat-
ors of the law, or it may be that an
unusually large number of the vio-
lators convicted pay their fines, but
it is fact that the number of coun-
tv convicts on the gang is unusual
ly small"
Mr.. West discussed the convict
question generally and, as stated, he
was very much surprised at the small
numtber of county convicts now doing
work on the gang.

THE PRICE OF EGGS
DROPS IN NEW YORK

New York, Feb. 23.-The price OF
eggs here today is the lowest on rec
ord in February for 40 years. Because
of the unprecedented receipts from
the west, market men are quoting
fresh eggs at 90 cents dozen.
The prospect is for fall to Is cents
per dozen before March l. Low prices
are due chiefly, it is said, to the mild

cent developments have made it pos

years past, may at last be realized as

be the Erie railroad.
Control of the Erie.
1t is not suggested that any contest
is likely to tie entered upon for con-
troll of the Erie in connection with
the formation of a new transcontinen-
tai route, for it is well known that
no conflict is probable, or even pos.
sible over that property.
The Erie, running from New York
to Buffalo and Dunkirk and through
to Chicago, connects with the Wabash
at Huntington, Ind. from there the
Wabash runs to st. Louis and Kansas
City, at 10th of which places connec-
ton is made with the Missouri Pacific
From Kansas City the Missouri Pacific
runs west in almost a straight line to
Pueblo, Col, there connecting with
the Denver and Rio Grande, and the
latter road proceeds thence to Salt
Lake City and Ogden, Utah, and from
there the route lies over the Western
Pacific to San Francisco.
In mapping out such line it would
be found perhaps that the section OF
the Wabash, from Chicago to Detroit,
would be superfluous Incidentally,
this portion of the Wabash also comes
very close to being parallel of the
Erie road, which might create compli.
cations under the railroad law. The
Canadian Pacific has h"on anxious to
secure an eastern outlet of it's own
from Chicago, and is known to have
had it's eye on this portion of the
Wabash which would carry 1t from
Cricaco to Detroit, there connecting
with it's own line in Canada at Wind
sor, Ont, just across the river from
Detroit.
In the Same Group.
The Kuhn, Loeb E. Co, interests
have been active In the reorganizat tion
negotiations. representing the Wabash
Pittsburg terminal bondholders. so II
may be said that control Of these two
roads is likely to be lodged with the
same group which owns the Nilsson
RI Pacific. It is not impossible that
as rehabilitation plans for the Wabash
Pittst 'urg terminal are worked out it
may be deemed advisable to build a
new link, connecting with the Erie
and thus place the latter company in
position to tap the Pittsburg freight
district.

he would accept the presidency of the

J. Gould. Mr.. Elliott said that an of.
fer of the position had been made a
year ago, hut that he had declined
it then. Mr.. Elliott will be in New
York next week to attend meeting
of the Northern Pacific directors.
There were reports today in the fl
nancial district that the probable head
of the Missouri Pacific to succeed Geo
J. Gould would be Julius Kruttschnitt
at present vice president Of the Har-
riman lines, in charge of maintenance
and operations. Mr.. Kruttschnitt has

ton.

Drainage will be the subject of~a
number of addresses by prominent
Georgians and government experts al
the second meeting of the Georgia
Drainage congress, which convenes
in Brunswick this morning at
O'Clock.
Judging by the number of delegates
arriving yesterday the attendance
will exceed the expectations. The
meeting will get down to business i'm
mediately upon being called to order
this morning, and for several hours
discussion of general interest will be
INDUCED in, during which time the
proposed law for Georgia will be sub
mitted and adopted.
Ex-senator George w. Deem, presi
dent of the congress. was among last
nights arrivals to the meeting. He
came from Waycross, and was accom-
panied by Judge j. L. Sweat, chair
ynan of the legislative committee, and
c. Fort Andrews, secretary Hon. A
M. Knight, president of the Waycross
Board of Trade, and Mr.. Jasper Wyld
Ing of the Evening Herald, also came
here from Waycross. Other delegates
from that city are expected this morn
ing.
Practically all officers and every
memfer of the legislative committee
will be here for the meeting. Sec
'retary Andrews has been notified also
by many representatives and senators
elect of Georgia of their intention tc
be present. Their attendance is quite
significant, as they will be the ones
to get in tehind the bill in the state
legislature during this years session.
The railroads are taking a keen IN
terest in the drainage meeting, ant
several officials of the roads enterins
Brunswick will be here. Maj. Wilbur
Mccoy, of the Atlantic Coast Line al
Jacksonville, will attend, as will Supt
Il. A. McCranie, of Waycross. The
general passenger agent of the Allan
ia. Birmingham and Atlantic, Mr. w
Fl. Leahy, arrives this morning will
a party from Atlanta. The Southern
will probably have one of their com
mercial agents here.
The program, as given above, i:
very attractive. The main addresse,
will tie by Gov. .-elect Hoke Smith, wht
arrives on the Southern from Allan
ia this morning, and by S. w. Mccall
lie, state geologist. Addresses by ex
Senator L. r. Akin and Judge J. L
Sweat on the proposed drainage Law
for Georgia, will be interesting fea
lures also. The informal discussio,
of the subject will be of more thai
usual interest, as representative
from many counties in the state will
fe heard from, and better idea o
the strength Of the movement will
be secured.
Principally this meeting is held {,
