Ordinary Calhoun, at Atlanta, states
that there has been a fare and one
third obtained as the round trip rate

Tybee island, near Savannah. The
attendance will be very large.
A curious old custom exists in White
county, and has been put into effect
already this year. It is the chastise¬
ment of tardy road workers by their
fellow laborers. Three or four men
were “tanned” on a certain road on
Wednesday, and the overseer himself
got a few stripes for being late at
work.
Judge Falligant at Savannah has re¬
fused to grant an injunction to the
Savannah, Florida and Western rail¬
road against the city of Savannahs,
which has instituted proceedings for
the opening of a large number of
streets across the tracks of this road
in the southern part of the city. The
case will go at once to the supreme
court.
Thomson will soon have two new

‘ I vegetable erops bid fair to be full and
l abundant this year, aud these new en
I terprises will greatly enhance their
; I market value.
The outlook for the fruit crop is just
now the most interesting matter for
Consideration in Georgia. AVhen the
severe cold weather, accompanied with
» snow snow storm, came late this year
e ore *be sap had begun to rise it
was at once predicted that the fruit
crop would be larger than it had been
°r vears. For the past two three
seasons, or
mild springs beguiled the
mt trees into forwardness and when
a late cold spell came it camrht the
young buds and blossoms in too ten
der a condition to withstand the blight.
Hie blizzard of February this
buded the trees year re

Sale of the Northeastern.
The approaching sale of the North¬
eastern road is causing a considerable
amount of discussion among Athen¬
ians. The sale is only a few days off,
and naturally they desire to know
what is going to become of the rail¬
road which they were largely instru¬
mental in building. The recent sale
of the Georgia Southern and Florida
road is taken by some to be an indica¬
tion of the purchase of the North¬
eastern by the Seaboard with a view to
combining the Georgia Southern and
Florida, the Macon and Northern and
the Northeastern, and extending to
Knoxville. At the same time, while
these rumors are going around, the
report is also out that should the state
find itself without a bidder on the
road to the amount of $300,000, a
party of Athenians will form a com¬
pany and lease the road, as they re
gaud it as a paying piece of property.
Will Work Independently.
The news has reached Savannah that
the interests in charge of the Central’s
reorganization plan will go ahead with
the work in hand, notwithstanding the
action of the bondholders of the Sav¬
annah and Western railroad. This
may mean no little trouble with the
Central railroad property. Justice
Jackson decreed two years ago that
the Central’s endorsement on the
$7,755,000 consolidated mortgage on
the Savannah and Western was valid.
Should the property be sold separate¬
ly lie from the Central the latter might
held responsible in case the Savan¬
nah and Western did not bring the
amount of the bonded indebtedness
upon it.
The committee in charge of the re¬
organization plan has made the state¬
ment that it went as far as possible
with the Savannah and Western bonds,
giving what they believed to be a fair
pro rata of the new securities. On
this offer the committee says it will
stand pat, that is 50 per cent in 4 per
cent bonds, 25 per cent in first and 25
per cent in second preferred income
bonds. The new Savannah and West¬
ern committee believe they are enti¬
tled to 4 per cents stra gh". If they
do not get it they will nave a separ¬
ate receiver and a separate sale of
their road. The affair has assumed a
decidedly interesting shape, and the
outcome will be watched with no little
interest by railroad men.
A Big Colony Expected.
Ex-Governor Nor then and Mr. P.
H. Fitzgerald, manager of the Soldiers’
Colony Club, of Indianapolis, returned
recently from a trip to middle Geor¬
gia, where they went in the interest of
the colossal colonization movement
they have recently entered. There
has been a great deal said lately about
the work of ex-Governor Northen and
the railroads in encouraging southern
immigration. This last scheme shows
to what a great extent the work can be
carried. For several month ex-Gov
ernor Northen has been in correspond
enc ® with Mr * Fitzgerald, who was the
organizer of the famous Soldiers’Col¬
on y Club in th f nortbwe8t ’. and be
finall y succeeded , in . interesting Mr.
Fitzgerald in the lands of Georgia so
considerably as to bring him down
here on a tri P of in8 P ectlon and inve8 *
ti *ff ion -.
Mr - Fitzgerald .. and - ex-Governor „
VT Northen have just returned from a
trip to that delightful land known as
middle Georgia, one of the most fertile
and productive soils in the south,
They visited the counties of Mont
gomery. Dooly, Wilcox, Berrien, Ir
win and Dodge. The purpose of the
trip was to show to Mr. Fitzgerald,
the great colonizer, what a tempting
world of agricultural lands is open to
the honest investor from the north in
that fair section of the state. Mr.
Fitzgerald was asked for an expression
of °P inion of the country he had just
visited. He was all enthusiasm at the
out i ook an O f declared that he was de
ierminedt o make a most favorable re
P°rt of his visit when he returns to
tho northwest and goes face to face
with the men who will come to this
section of the south to find homes.
"It is the very J spot we have been
ljoking for/ , d F i tzg erald, “and
I am sure that there will be thousands
of old northern soldiers who will take
offer that will ® made
through the O Q
and come to Georgia. of land
“There is an abundance
down in that section of Georgia for all
our purposes. We want to get about
100,000 acres to start Jl ith and will
have an option on 50,000 o r 100,000 in
addition to this.
“I am in close touch today with . at
least 14,000 heads of families who will
be willing to come to Georgia when
they are made acquainted with the ad-
vantages of this favored section as a
place for homes. These families will
average five members each, making at
least 70,000 souls that will probably
come here.”
THE ADVANCE IN BEEP
Brings Out Some Explanations From
the Big Packers.
The story telegraphed from New
York to a Chicago morning paper that
the recent advance in beef was not
justified, and that the big Chicago
packers were making an effort to con¬
trol the meat market of the country
and advance prices to consumers, is
emphatically denied by Nelson Mor¬
ris, George F. Swift, Armour & Com¬
pany and other packers.
“The advance in the price of dressed
beef,” said Nelson Morris, “is the
natural result of the scarcity of cattle.
Already this year the receipts of cattle
at the four principal points—Chicago,
St. Louis, Omaha and Kansas City—
are 300,000 head behind last year’s
record. Last week the receipts wrnre
29,000 head short, which is equal to
18,000,000 pounds of dressed beef.
We are 16,000 head short already this
week. The price of live stock is now
$2 per hundred pounds higher than it
was last year, and I expect to see
prices go still higher. ”
Mr. Swift also denied that there was
a combine among the packers, aud
said the cattle market was 30 per cent
higher now than it was last year,which
fact is advancing the price of beef to
consumers.
Manager Favorite, of Philip D. Ar¬
mour & Co., said the statement that a
pool had been formed by the big
western packers to advance the price
of beef was absurd. “It is scarcely
worth denying,” said he. “The only
causes for the high price of beef are
the scarcity of cattle and the fail¬
ure of the corn crop. The latter is, of
course, the cause of the former. We
are not working for the interest of
other packers—that is certain. Be¬
sides, it would be impossible to form a
pool of the kind alleged, if desired, so
great is the diversity of interests
among the western packers. Last
Saturday’s receipts were the lowest I
have ever known them—only five
hundred head. I do not know any¬
thing about other markets, but one
Las only to use his eyes to see how
things are going here.”
NO EXTRA SESSION.
Although the President is Urged to
Call One.
All of the members of Mr. Cleve¬
land’s cabinet were present at Tues¬
day’s cabinet meeting. Secretary
Gresham has returned to the capital
from Fort Monroe, where he has been
staying chief subject for the considered past few days. the T£e
was su¬
preme court decision in the income
tax case, the effect of the decision on
the government’s finance being regard¬
ed as of especial importance. Secre¬
tary Carlisle, it is understood, stated
that the treasury would not be seri¬
ously disabled on account of the de¬
crease in receipts from the collection of
the tax, as the revenue of which the
court’s decision will deprive the gov¬
ernment will be made up from other
sources. Several members of the cab¬
inet are said to have favored the call¬
ing of an extra session of congress, but
Mr. Cleveland strongly opposes such a
step as unnecessary, and it is quite
likely that congress will not be con¬
vened unless the unexpected should
happen. In his position the
president is strongly supported
by Secretary Carlisle. Since the an¬
nouncement of the supreme court’s de¬
cision the president has received tele¬
grams from all sections of the coun¬
try urging him to call congress to¬
gether to repeal the provisions of the
law which the court permitted to
stand, on the ground that the tax is
unjust inasmuch as it exempts the
great landed estates and the very rich
men whose wealth is invested in real
estate. Great pressure is being brought
to bear along this line, and the presi¬
dent is said to be greatly impressed by
the arguments advanced.
RANDOLPH’S SHORTAGE.
The State of Alabama Will Lose About
$25,000.
A Montgomery, Ala., special says:
The state examiner has filed his report
HH to the shortage of Probate Judge
Randolph, who left the state one month
ago, and whose whereabouts are un
known. The report shows that his de¬
falcation to the state is $25,000, which
includes about $4,000 of unreported li
cense money, The report does not
deal with trust funds, exhaustively,
but includes, in addition to the above,
two transactions involving $2,800. The
judge’s dealings with the county are
not touched upon at all, but the short¬
age is generally believed to be not
over $1,000. The indications from
this report and all known facts are
that the total defalcation will not go
much, if any, over $30,000.
Postmasters Indicted.
A. R. Fuller, postmaster at Leroy,
Marion county, and H. S. Fickel, post¬
master at Melrose, C lay county, Fla.,
have been indicted by the United
States grand jury for making fraudu¬
lent returns of the amount of postage
stamps canceled. The amount is smell
in each case.
