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 lumbus is getting the benefit' of t he con tractors’ trade. TIIK fEMTHA I, It W I,l‘OA II. 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. \ leading lawyer in Scranton l’n., is th. most .e eenipliMied sta.nmeri r in that sc, ■ , t ion of the country. pcBters mm INSTALLMENT PUH!

New York Mail and Express. 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 : "Try once again, please.” “Th-th-the th-th-thr-thrush th-th-things th-th-thweetly in th-th-the th-th-thpwing of tli-th the year.” A young lady was endeavoring to state in plain English that the thrush sings sweetly in the spring of the year. The place proved to lie a private school for teaching persons who lisp, stammer and stutter, to articulate their words dis tinctly.

President Cleveland’s suggestion that the 3d of September be selected as the day for , the formal inauguration of the Bartholdi statue is bused on the fact that that date is [ the anniversary of t iie signing of the t reaty ' by which the independence of the United j States was recognized at Paris. It Is possi ble, how ever, that the date might not prove agreeable to the French, who are entitled to all possible courtesies on the occasion; for it is also the anniversary of the battle of Sedan and the surrender of the French ! army to the (Jerimins.
