BY FREIGHT RATES.

CAMBRIDGE, Ca, Sept. 23.-The
advantage of low freight rates to a
city was never more strikingly illus
trated than in the case of this city for
the past year. New enterprises have
seemingly fallen over each other +,
get here during the past year. and
with the completion of the Apalachi-
cola-St. Andrews Bay canal and the
still lower freight rates promulgated
by the Callahan line, operating be-
tween here and st. Andrews Bay, still
greater activity along this line is an.
ticipated.
The latest addition to cambridge s!
list OF commercial enterprises is the
Edwards cigar factory, and this is no
example of single cigar-maker in 6
back room making a few hundred sto-
gies week, but it will be a plant EN-
ploying twenty-five men making high
class cigars. Mr.. Edwards located
here on account of the unusually low
freight rates and the fact that Balm
bridge is the center of the tobacco
belt.

C. s. & F. IMPROVE
YARDS At cORDELE

CORDELE, Ca, Sept. 23.-The
statement comes from authoritative
source that the Georgia Southern e
FLORIDA railway has appropriated s25.-
600 to be used in the removal of its
freight yards beyond the southern lin
its OF the city and the construction OF
new yards in the vicinity of the coal
chute, over mile from the business
center.
This is the most valuable improve
ment that the Georgia Southern has
contemplated for Cordele within recent
years. There are numerous objections
to the constant drilling, or switching,
of freight cars across the streets in
the southern part of the city that are
continuously Travelled, both in the bust
ness and residence sections. The 10
cation of the yards beyond the city
limits would practically eliminate the
inconvenience, annoyance and danger
of the yards being located almost in
the heart of the city, as they are at
present.

MaxweU on Hand

IMAGINE, if you can, the feel
ings of an aspiring young
amateur golfer about to start his
preliminary round in the national
championship without a single
one of his favorite and accus-
toned clubs. That is the predica-
ment Lee w. Maxwell, the Silva

Detroit. Through an error in the
Grand Central Station parcel
room Maxwell's golf bag was
turned over to the wrong man. In
its place was left a bag marked
rs. M. o." Should this reach the
eyes of the person who got the
wrong kit he will confer an ever
lasting favor on a distracted fell
low golfer by expressing them to
Maxwell in care of the Country
Club of Detroit. The rs. NJ. O."
bag still reposes in the station
parcel room.

The present rates in sterling exchange
means tnat is selling at a price -
cents IN the pound below the normal.
or at a discount Of about = per cent.
II means that in foreign exchange trans
actions the pound sterling is selling at
the lowest prices AT which II has ever
sold. What makes the situation espe-
claiIy serious n significant IN that the
pound sterling has always been taken
as the real standard of Il monetary unit
by which nations were accustomed to
