PICKING A\ OIL MILL SITE
THE SOUTHERN COMPANY TO
BUILD IN SAVANNAH.
The Probable Site for the Works at the
Central and Charleston and Savan
nah Railway Junction—Their Cost to
be $126,000 and Their Capacity
30,000 Tons of Cotton Seed Per
Year.
Fred Oliver, manager of the Southern
Cotton Oil Company, is expected in Savan
nah in aday or two, to definitely locate the
site for the cotton seed oil mill which the
Soinpany is to erect here.
Mr. Oliver passed through Savannah sev
eral days ago. arid while here hurriedly ex
amined a number of sites. The one which
the company prefers is on the Louisville
road at the junction of the Central railroad
and Charleston and Savannah railway.
PROBABLE SITE OK THE MILL,
The land upon which the mill will be built,
ff the site is detinately settled upon, is south
of the Central’s tracks and north of the
Louisville road. The strip of land is not
wide enough, however, for the company’s
buildings and side tracks unless the high
way is moved further south. The County
Commissioners have been asked to change
the road, but the matter has not yet Leon
acted upon.
The Central, whose right of way extends
from its tracks to the highway, has offered
to donate sufficient land for the location of
the mill. Mr. Oliver held a conference
with Gen. Alexander during hi* last visit
here and with Mr. Levis Haskell, who is to
he the company's local manager, and the
matter of a site was carefully considered,
but nothing definite was detertiiined iqion.
OTHER SITES TALKED OF.
Another site near the Vale Royal mills
Was looked into, and still another north of
the Central railroad and taking in part of
the old Fair Grounds. The site at the
Charleston and Savannah junction, being
convenient to all the roads {entering here,
is considered the most desirable.
The capacity of the Savannah mill will
be about the same aa that of the other mills
which the company will build in the South,
and will be about 150 tons. Each of the eight
milk which are to be built will cost £12.5,-
000. They will grind 30,000 bens of cotton
seed per annum at an expense, the company
claims, of £4 per ton less than the Oil Trust
can do it. A ful : manufacturing plant will
be connected with the mill.
THE SOUTHERN OIL COM PAN V.
The Southern Cotton Oil Company, as it
Is called, was organized in New Jersey. Its
capital is £5.000,000, of which £4,000,000 has
been taken, and SI.OAi.OOO is re
served. The officers are Henry C. Butch
er. President; Richard Arnold, of New York,
V ice- President; Fred Oliver, Charlotte, N.C.,
manager; D. A. Tompkins, Charlotte, en
gineer, and W. G. Kay, assistant engineer.
The mills which are to lie built in the
Hoiitb will beat Atlanta, New (trleans, Mont
gomery, Memphis, Dallas. Houston, Little
Rock mid Savammh. The location of the
Atlanta mill lias ah-oady been settled upon,
and work will be begun in a short time.
THE CENTRAL RAILROAD’S CONTRACT.
The Central Railroad has entered
into a contract with the company
to haul its products, and as soon as the
location of the mill hen' is determined the
■work of erecting the buildings will be com
menced. The machinery has already been
ordered.
The Southern company is organized in
opposition to the American Oil Trust. With
new and improved machinery and pro
cesses it expects to produce oil at from $3
to ?4 less per ton than the Trust. They
average from 30 to‘3s gallons of oil to the
ton of seed, and the new company expects to
make 45 gallons to the bin, ana besides it
will produce a superior cotton meal.
OPPOSITION TO THE OIL TRUST.
Not only does the new company expect to
make oil cheaper, but it expects to produce
as much oil by its outlay of *2,MX),000 as
the Oil Trust, which was capitalized at £40.-
000,000. With these advantages the new
company expects to corajiete with the oppo
sition and make 100 per cent, profit.
The establishment of a mill here by a com
pany as strongly backed as the Southern Oil
('ompany is understood to be is an important
thing for Savannah.

FREDERICKSBURG'S FIGHT.
Gen. McLaws’ Address Before the
Georgia Historical Society.
Gen. Lafayette McLaws delivered an ad
dress before the Georgia Historical Society
last night His subject was the battle of
Fredericksburg in 1863.
Before taking up the engagement Gen.
McLaws gave a brief account of the move
ments of the two armies immediately prior
to the fight. McClellan, who had com
manded the Federal forces, had been
superseded by Burnside. After the
battle of Antietam, Sept. 16 and
17, 1862. the Union army, under
Gen. McClellan made no forward move
ment until late in October, when it began to
cross the Potomac. Meanwhile the Con
federates mpved up the valley of the Shenan
doah and into that of the Rappahannock.
On Dec. 11 Burnside attempted to cross the
river near Fredericksburg bv a pontoon
bridge, but was repulsed. (Jen. McLaws
had been directed by Gen. Longstrcet to oc
cupy the town of Fredericksburg.
The next day was occupied in close skirm
ishing, Gen. McLaws trying in the mean
time to strengthen his position all he could.
On Dec. 13 there was a thick fog. When it
lifted the enemy was seen to lie in motion,
and later an assault was made on the centre
of Jackson’s position, held by A. P. Hill,
but it was unsuccessful.
In the afternoon Gen. Thomas R. R. Cobh
was mortally wounded. In the course of
the address Gen. McLaws paid a high tribute
to Gen. Cobb’s ability, saying that he be
lieved that his would have lieen as great as
Jackson’s had he not been killed.
The address was heard by an audience
which filled the library room. Many ladies
were present, and in the audience were Gen.
Henry R. Jackson, Gen. A. R. Lawton, Gen.
E. P. Alexander, Gou. G. M. Sorrel and Gen.
R. H. Anderson.
The next address before the society will
lie on "The Negro Viewed Medically,'” by a
prominent physician of the city.

APRIL’S UNUSUAL WEATHER.
The Month Remarkable for Its Clear
Days and Dryness.
Tho month of April just passed was re
markably clear and free from showers.
There were twenty “clear” days, twelve
days almost free from clouds, but tiirec
“cloudy” days, and ouly six days on which
rain fell. There were three thunder storms
of only moderate intensity.
The rainfall (2.05 inches) was notably de
ficient, being less than half the normal
amount for April This deficiency was gen
eral throughout the Southern States, .as
shown by tables which follow, living very
remarkable in Texas, where scarcely any
rain fell, except In the most northern por
tion. It was u cool month, the mean tem
perature (63.7') being 24’ below the normal.
The highest temperature was 89’, on the
10th, nnd the lowest wa535.5 on the 2d. A
severe frost on the 2d damaged the truck
gardens throughout a wide section of coun
try. Observer Salisbury, in his April re

which will lie an ornament to the city and
the pride of the organization.

COURTESY TO MR. SULLY.
THE TERMINAL’S PRESIDENT AT A
DIRECTORS’ MEETING.
Central Officials Deny That There Is
Anything in the Nature of a Deal on
Foot—Mr. Sully Abandons His Florida
Trip and Goes to Atlanta—What He
Says of the Baltimore and Ohio Deal.
The directors of tlie Central railroad held
their monthly meeting yesterday. Gen.
Alexander had expected to go to New York
before the regular meeting day, which
would have been to-morrow, and so called
the directors together yesterday. Vice
President H. B. Hollins, of New York, and
Mr. A. E. Mills were absent.
M*r. Alfred Sully, President of the Rich
mond and AV'est Point T rminal, was present
during the meeting. That suggested various
reports of a deal between the two systems,
but the directors said that it meant nothing.
A COURTESY TO MR. SULLY.
“It was only a courtesy extended to Mr.
Sully,” remarked Mr. John C. Calhoun to a
representative of the Morning News.
“But is not such a thing unusual?” ho was
asked.
“Not at all. It was purely a mere
courtesy inviting him to lie present when in
the city. Such things are quite usual,” Mr.
Calhoun replied.
Mr. Uriah B. Harrold, tho Americas di
rector, also remarked that it was just a
courtesy, and Mr. Sully, who was present,
smiled assent to the explanation, but said
nothing. There was no deal on foot, ho re
marked, however. Nothing but routine
business was transacted, the directors said.
TOO WARM IN FLORIDA.
Last night Mr. Sully said that he had
concluded to give up his Florida trip for the
present, assigning as the reason that it is
getting too warm.
“I am go.ng from here to Atlanta,” he
stated, "and have several places at which I
want to stop over on tny way back.”
Mr. Sully will not return to New York bV
way of Savannah. Mrs. Logan, widow of
Gen. liogan, and the party of ladies whom
he invited to make the trip with him, had
to abandon it at. the last moment, much to
his regret, Mr. Sully said. Speaking of the
Baltimore and Ohio fled he remarked sig
nificantly, “Something may come of that
yet.”
Mr. Sully is a very pleasant talker, but
speaks to tuo point. Last night he left for
Atlanta, taking with him in liis private ear
Mr. Jolm C. Calhoun, Mr. Pat Calhoun, Mr.
Harrold and Col C. 11. l’hinizy, besides his
two friends, Gen. Fairbanks of Indiana, and
Mr. AVormser of New York.
LIVELY TIMES AT MEMPHIS.
Bold Charges Against President Mor
row and Umpire DiesteL
Memphis, May 3.—An exciting game was
played this afternoon between Nashville
and Memphis, resulting in a victory for the
visitors by the score of 7to 4. This was
accomplished by the worst umpiring ever
witnessed on a ball field. Joe Diestel, a
former member of the Nashville club, offi
ciated, and his decisions were so rank,
especially in the second inning, that
Sneed, manager of the locals, openly
charged him with living a thief, for
which Sneod was fined £IOO. It is openly
proclaimed here to-night that President
Morrow, of the Southern League, who has
his home in Nashville, purposely appointed
Diestel as an umpire to favor Nashville, and
that he is carrying nut liis instructions to
the letter. Samuel T. Carnes, President of
the Memphis club, telegraphed President
Morrow to-night that Memphis would for
feit her franchise in the Southern League
before she would play another game with
Diestel as umpire. The feeling here is
strong against President Morrow and may
result in tin' disbandment of the Southern
League. Black and Baker were the battery
for Memphis and Maul and Nicholas for
Nashville. The score by innings was:
Nashville 1 3 0 2 1 0 0 0 x— 7
Memphis 1 0030000 o—4
The attendance was about 500.

GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.
Sam B. AVebb, Atlanta Passenger Agent
of the Central, is also here.
There are now twelve railroads in Orange
county, Florida, and several others are to be
built soon.
The oculist of the Lake Shore and Michi
gan Southern has examined 850 employes
for color blindness since Jan. 1.
The Railway Age remarks that the gener
al freight and passenger agent of the Silver
Springs, Ocala and Gulf railroad in Florida
is notoriously Saussy; in fact he is commonly
called G. N. Saussy.
The Chicago limited on the New York
Central road now makes the longest run
without a stop on any road in the countiw,
this being between New York city and Al
bany, a distance of 142 miles.
Superintendents W. H. MeClintock, of
the Columbus and AVostem Division, and
Theo. D. Cline, of the Southwestern, and
Mr. AA7 J. Craig, of the Port Royal and
Augusta railway, were in the city yes
terday.
The Grand Trunk railroad has settled with
P. T. Bamum for the killing of the elephant
Jumbo by paving him $5,000 anil agreeing
to haul his circus train free of charge for
one year. Mr. Barnum sued the railroad
company for $lOO,OOO damages.
The officials of the Kansas City, Fort
Scott and Gulf contemplate establishing a
hospital system along the line of that road.
The first, hospital will lie located at Fort
Scott, Kan., the citizens of which place
have agreed to donate five acres of ground
and subscribe liberally toward tho enter
prise.
The Fitchburg road has equipped a train
with the necessary apparatus for lighting
the ears by electricity and a trial trip was
made April 22. The electricity is carried in
storage batteries under the cars, and there
are fifteen incandescent burners of sixteen
candle power each. Two of those burners
are placed outside the car-one on each
platform.
The Railway Age has noticed as a singu
lar coincidence that as soon as the members
of tho Michigan Legislature were requested
to return their railway passes they began to
feel that the public interest demanded a re
duction of freight and passenger rates, and
that when, by an equally singular coinci
dence, the railway conqianies sent them
new passes the agitation of this subject was
dropped.
The Birmingham Air Line.
President AA7 H. Searcey, of the Griffin,
LaGrange and AA'estern railroad, has issued
a letter announcing the company’s change
of name to ‘"Tiro Birmingham and Atlantic
Air Line Railroad Company,” as agreed
upon at the Savannah meeting some weeks
ago. In his letter Pres dent Searcey says:
Under section lfl of the charter of this com
pany the directors are authorized to extend the
rood from any point named in its charter, by
resolution of its hoard of directors filed in the
office of the Secretary of Stare. In December
last the directors passed resolutions providing
for the extension of its road from LaGrange to
Macon direct.
This resolution, owing to the sickness of the
President of the road, was not then brought to
the attention of the people of Macon, though it
is now known to them. The date of these reso
lutions show conclusively that the road direct to
Macon is no recent conclusion of the company.
In order to cover the entire route from Birm
ingham to Savannah by one charter and one
company, the directors to day have passed a
resolution to extend the road to Savannah. This
will be filed at once with the Secretary of the
State. Under this charter, as amended, the con
solidated linos from Birmingham to tho sea will
be operated.
This road is a part of our system. It has the
same President and will be operated under the
same name—“ Birmingham and Atlantic Air
Line."’
The Birmingham and Atlantic Air Line Rail
road Company has no connection whatever with
what is called the Macon. LaGrange and Birm
ingham Railroad Company. While we both pro
pose to build along the same route, from Macon
through LaGrange to Birmingham, our com
panies are entirely separate and distinct.
Our road does not stop at Macon, but consoli
dates with the Macon, Dublin and Savannah rail
road, goes on to Savannah, making an air line
from Birmingham through Macon to the sea.
AVe ask our friends to rally to the Birmingham
and Atlantic Air Line Railroad Company, which
is now consolidated into one. line from Birming
ham to Savannah under one President, Mr.
Douglas Greene, of New York. AVe have raised
$400,000 in subscriptions; have deeds to the
mountain passes along the route. Our entire
route from Birmingham to Savannah is sur
veyed (except the gap from LaGrange to Ma
con). Sixty miles oi the Macon. Dublin and Sa
vannah read is already graded, and there is no
doubt about the success of this enterprise.
Opinion of a Leading Editor.
Almost all the diseases that afflict us from
infancy to old age have their origin in a dis
ordered liver. A really good liver medicine
Is the most important in the whole range of
pharmacy. We believe Simmons Liver
Regulator to lie the best among them all.
AVe pin our faith upon tho Regulator, and if
we could persuade every reader who is in ill
health to buy it, we would willingly vouch
for the benefit each would receive.— Editor

AT THE THEATRE-
Miss Van Tassel Begins a Week’s En
gagement in Savannah.
Miss Cora Van Tassel and company opened
a week’s engagement at the Theatre last
night to a fine audience. She made her first
appearance in the pretty drama, “Fanchon,
the Cricket.” In the lighter passages she
w as as chipper as a cricket, and in the graver
she was serious and emotional. Her vivac
ity pleased the audience, and she seemed to
give complete satisfaction, being favored
with liberal applause. The play went well,
and the performance was away ahead of a
good many attractions which charge 61.
The support contains some clever actors.
To-night Miss Van Tassel will appear in
“Gip,” one of her brightest and best plays.
It resembles “M’liss,” Annie Pixley’s old
favorite play very much.
Happy Workmen.
The operatives of the Griffin Mills who
drew a tenth part of the 6-50,000 prize in the
last drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery
on yesterday received a check for the same.
The fortunate individuals are William C.
Hammock, C. L. Hammock, George Hearn,
F. M. Ballou and Parks Bowden, each or
whom received $l,OOO. Each put in one
dollar and purchased five tickets, one of them
being the lucky number, 5i,899, and conse
quently they are happy. They are all hard
working, deserving men, and w 6 congratu
late them on their good fortune. This is
the largest prize that has ever been drawn
in the city, although numerous smaller
amounts have been received. This may
feud to convince the skeptical that The
Louisiana State Lottery always acts in good
faith and actually bestows the prizes where
drawn All of the above parties are mar
ried men except C. L. Hammock, and we
understand that he is now contemplating
taking a chance in the matrimonal lottery.
Mr. AY. C. Hammock, when asked how he
reallv felt, when he found that he had actu
ally drawn and received the money, prompt
ly said: “I felt pretty fair, as you may im
agine.” AA r arming up, he continued: “I felt
like I did when I was paid off in leaving the
Confederate service, and received my pay,
unlike most, in good money. Yes, lam a
Confederate veteran and fought under Gen.
Beauregard, and now I have again earned
my reward under him. Gen. Beauregard is
a true man and a brave soldier, and 1 am
glad that the money comes through him.”—
Griffin ( Ga .) Xews, April 21.
Mason & Hamlin Pianos.
Both the Mason & Hamlin organs nnd
pianos excel chiefly in that which is the
chief excellence in any musical instinment,
quality of tone. Other things, though im
portant, are much less so than this. An in
strument with unmusical tones cannot be a
good musical instrument. Yet all are not
good judges of such a matter. An inferior
quality of tone will often please the uncul
tivated ear lx-st, at first; though time and
use will reveal the superiority of really good
tone. Hence in selecting an organ or a piano
it is safer to choose one from a maker whose
reputation is thoroughly established, and
whose productions are acknowledged to
have superlative excellence, especially in
this chief thing.— Boston Journal.
