The 16tn of eaoh month is the regular
pay-day on the Georgia Midland railroad,
and in future settlements with contractors
will be promptly made that day. But the
construction company very kindly antici
pated the pay-day this month, nnd yester
day paid over last month's estimates. Most
of the contractors have been at large ex
pense to get ready for the work, which is
now being rapidly pushed. The action of
U,«. authorities in their payment aheud of
time was duly appreciated, Many of our
readers were made happy yesterday. Co

President Itnnnl Tells About Hie Cast nf shifting
tile (iSUL-e.
It has fora longtime been a mn'ter of
public information that the railroads of *b<
south were to change theirgauge, and so
long as the preparations for the work were
confined to the workshops in preparing
for and making t lie change of roiling stock,
it attracted no special attention. The
change of the track, however, was a very
different'mat ter. Jt required large and re
liable organizations to effect it with
promptness and certainty, and under the
best circumstances it oaused sufficient In
terruption in traffic to arrest public atten
tion.
Tiiose interested in tlie railroads have
been much concerned in regard to the
cost of the work, and the probable cost to
the Central railroad has been variously es
timated at from $400,000 to $71X1,(KM). For
tile purpose of securing some specific in
formation on the subject, a Savannah
Morning News reporter called upon the
president of the company the other day,
who, in answer to questions, stated sub
stantially as follows:
“The actual work of moving the rail pi
the track in to the standard gauge brings
with it more interest, and anxiety to the
railroad managers, because of the limit, d
time that can be snared for the work, tide
necessity for a perleit and reliable organ
ization for completing il within that time,
the difficulty of securilig safe and reliable
work when carried on so hastily, and the
danger involved by any failure to have it
done in a perfectly secure manner. But
the actual cost of in6ving the rail is very
much less than ?s generally supposed, and
i' but a small portion of the general ex
pense of the work of change,
“Tile chief ex pense is in the preparation
for, and the change of the wln-els of ali
tbe ears and engines. This work buS only
been completed in part, and the total cost
that will be inyoled is yet a matter of
estimate, and the absoblt ■ figures will not
heuritvodat Until the whole work is com
pleted. The Mobile and Ohio eliaiig. q
gauge ill July best and I see it stated in t h
Financial I'hronicie that the president ri
ports tlie cost at about $17;I per mile, i
regard this as a very close approxima
tion to the average cost of southern roads.
It will cost those doing a heavy traffic, and
consequently having a large amount of
rolling stock, mors. It will cost the lighter
traffic roads with fewer cars and engines
less. The newer roads with all their equip
ment of modern coiistiuction usually nave
it prepared go that the change can lie per
fected with much less cost, but to the old
roads perpetuating much of the old rolling
stock, the oost will be greater, yet $160 per
mile will not be far from the average cost
’ The mileage of the Central, together
with t he mileage of all the roads iu whit li
the Central is interested, sum up about
200,4 miles. I see nothing thus far to cause
me believe that the average cost to tin
Central and the roads in which it is inter
ested will vary materially from $160 pei
iplle, or say $.1(50,000 to f$6O,0W, The ex
penses incurred jn changing gauge will he
divided over several years, so as not to
overburden any one year with extraordi
nary charges. Such a policy was stated in
the last annual report of the company.”
I'nlun I’olnt sail White I'lnlns.
The railroad from Union Point to White
Plains, the Athens Banner-Watchman
says, is nearly a surety, The citizens of
W hite Plains have been called on to raise
$10,000 to build the road, and have raised
$7000 of this amount. This road will be a
great advantage to.Atheils, ns it will help
Jier merchants to hold their trade and in
crease it in that section.
tn..tlii'i- Itidlrniul Fur Athens.
The Athens Banner-Watchman says it is
not us yet prepared to make anything pub
lic, but it is now a settled fact that Athens
will have another railroad, and that, too.
without delay. Gentlemen are quietly at
work in furtherance of this end, and everv-
tliiug has been satisfactorily arranged. As
soon as possible all the facts will be given
to tlie public.
Iinidtng Contracts.
The Macon and Covington road is only
paying sixteen cents per square yard- for
moving dirt. Contractors are only paid
for the dirt they excavate, and not for the
tills, unless it exceeds 100yards, or such dis
tiuicc as agreed in the contract. Rock
pays $1 per square yard.
PEOPLE WHO US*p”aND STAMMER.
easily
natural defect, and In proof of bis assertion
lie cited the fact that few children com
mence to stammer before the ages of five
I or six years.
“Vnrious causes can be assigned for stut
tering, lisping: and stammering,” he prm
oeedeil. ‘‘Fright often cfli.sei this result,
1 and sickness which doe 1 not at all affect
the vocal organs produces the same effect
through a nervous action. Stammering,
too, is contagious, and a child whose
I speech is perfectly distinct will almost
certainly become a stammerer if permitted
to piny and associate with stammerers.
I The habit is acquired by sympathy."
‘‘('an persons whose habit of stammer
ing nnd lisping is a matter of long standing
! be taught to sjieak distinctly?”
“The habit can be overcome in a very
! short space of time with training and pa
tient practice, where there is no inftamma-
: tion of the vocal organs. Take such a
j veteran as Mr. Win. H. Travers. He could
! be easily made to converse like other peo
ple, but it would be a crime against so
ciety to change liis speech. If bespoke
I plainly he would lose some of his fascina-
I lion.’’
1 “Is it not true that many ladies pride
j themselves on their ability to lisp pret
tily?”
“In some circles lisping is considered a
I fashionable and desirable accomplishment.
The trouble about lisping is that when a
] lady has once acquired the habit she can
| not adopt a new style as she would u new
i dress. Most young ladies who take lessons
in lisping when frolicking with compan
ions of their own age are sorry for it later
on, and the habit is not then so
dropped.”
“How do you distinguish between stam
merers, stutterers and lispers?”
“Stammering is simply spasmodic artic
ulation, while the stutterer speaks from
an exhausted chest, and is unable to com
mence speech easily. Both defects arise [
from a misuse of the vocal organs, some- I
times brought about by ignorance and |
sometimes the result of habit. Lisping
consists in giving the sound of th to s and j
s to some others of the consonants, mid is l
almost invariably an acquired habit. 'When j
not accompanied by a serious difficulty in I
articulation it is surety unnatural, and the
result of a forced use of nature's organs.”
“Are not the facial contortions which
frequently manifest themselves when a
stutterer tries to speak proofs in them
selves that, some physical defect exists?”
"Not by any means. These contortions
result from a misuse of the respiratory j
organs. %Teach the sufferer by word and |
example the proper use of these organs, i
and gradually these contortions disappear I
altogether. I have seen persons who Would
almost ;;o into spasms on attempting to
speak, after careful training for two months
converse with perfect composure as dis
tinctly as you or I. The mechanical part i
of speech is an unconscious effort; to!
correct defects in speech it must be made
conscious, that is to say the attention must
be concentrated on the vocal effort and tic
action of the articulatory muscles.” The
instructor explained that the male stain-;
meivrs exceed the female in number in the
proportion of seven or eight to one, lor the
reason, he said t but Women possess more
mobility than men in tlie organs of speech.
A Imd si imnierer who lias no physical de
fect in tlie vocal organs, can l>" taught to
speak distinctly in from o.ic to two
months. While under instruction, or im
mediately afterward, lie must not be id- j
lowed to associate with others who .stam
mer, or with persons who speak veiy
rapidly. Stammering and lisping are more
general among wealthy persons than
among the poor, for some unaccountable
reason. Several clergymen who stammer i
inordinary conversation articulate quite
distinctly in the pulpit, but only when
they n ad t-h.dr sermons from manuscript.

A riclilv furnished suite of apartments
on one of the thoroughfares of tile city is
devoted to a peculiar purpose. A gilded
plate of modest dimensions, on which a
name, and nothing more, is inscribed, is
among the daunting signs by tlie main en
trance to the building. Ascending om
flight of stairs, the visitor’s attention will
be attracted by the marked care with
which the doors leading to the.front apart
ments are curtained. He will understand
at once that it is not a private establish
ment, for the name which appears on the
plate below is again inscribed on one ofthe
doors. A reporter for the Mail and Ex
press was ushered into a small private
apartment, where a tall and handsome
gentleman in a fashionable spring suit
waited on him. In a large parlor connec
ting with this ante-room by a glass door a
conversation was going on. It ran in this
wise :
