THE TALK OF THE BAY. Business Men D’.ecuss the Morning News Trade Review. Tho Morning News Trade Edition was very favorably commented on by business men on the Hay yesterday. They consid ered the showing it made a remarkable one for Savannah in the face of the great finan cial difficulties thit tho business interests have had to contend with for the last year. They expect that with a better state of af fairs this year tho next trade edition will show a still more remarkable increase in Savaunah’s business. All the cotton that has arrived at this port this season so far has been wrapped in jute bagging, with tho exception of a small amount iu pine straw bagging. Jute ap pears to have the day. There will proba bly be little of the white cotton bagging seen this year, and there will be no profit made by giving tho bales au extra wrapping of jute over the cotton bagging at the compresses this year. Every ojoud is viewed with apprehension by the cotton and rice men now, especially by the latter. With the new cut rioe lying upon the ground it is iu the most favorable condition to be injured by the rains. The cotton men have enough, too. Tho reports they have had from the cotton fields of the damage done by the recent rains are enough to satisfy them that the crop will be much shorter than last year and tne staple proba My as poor. The c*edit of the naval stores operators it A 1 now, and merchants are drummin; thas branch of their customers with a vigor wkieh does not characterize their anxiety to sell other trades. The naval stores men are having a good seas m, and with a big crop they will realize well. Tho cotton men who have bean absent for the summer are returning to their poets iu ones and twos. Every day nowkees one or two more familiar faces a Ide 1 to the ex change. There are several yet to coaie, however. The cotton buyers are congratulating themselves upon tho fine grades of the cot ton coming iu now, and tnereis a lively de mand for these grades. It is expected that the grades will decline shortly.

The Savannah local union of the Young Peoples’ Societies of Christian Endeavor celebrated its first anniversary at the Christian church on Bolton street last night. The church was well filled in spite of the threatening app arance of the weather, and three-fourths of those present wore young people. The exercises lasted about an hour and a half. The addresses and reports were interspersed with songs. O. F. Pace, president of the society of the Christian Church, took charge of the meeting, President Foiger being absent on account of illness.

Dowman, president of the so ciety of Wesley Methodist Episcopal church, led in prayer. 500 strong in savannah. Secretary Charles E. Wakefield read the minutes of the last quarterly meeting and eubmitted the reports of the various Christian Eudeavor societies in Bavanuah. The reports showed that there are about 500 active and associate members of the Christian Endeavor in the city. The first Christian Endeavor Society drgnnized Iu Savannah was that of the Christian church in April, 1889. It was January, 1899, be fore the second socio’y was organized at the Lutheran church. The Baptist so ciety was organized in February, that of Trinity church in Juno and of Wesley Monumental in October, 1899. The New Houston street Methodist Epis copal society was organised iu August of this year. THE SOCIETY MEMBERSHIP.

Misa Harmon of the Lutheran church so ciety recited "Jesus I,over of My Soul;’’ — the song of tho shipwreck. W. B, Stubbs, llsq., of the Wesley Monu mental Church Society, made an address upon the subject uf "What Does Christian Endeavor Stand Fori” with "loyalty to duty to the church, and above all to Christ,” as the text for his remarks; Mr. Stubbs said tha Christian Endeavor was born of a great need. eleven years old. It was organized some eleven yeirs ago, and it now numbers over a million mem bers;. There were 15.0Q0 delegates in at tendance at the last annual meeting. The idea brought out by Mr. Stubbs’ re marks was that the Christian Endeavor is a society that eduoates anil prepares young people for the work of the church. “It i9 wefl-Jtno#a,” he raid, "that there Is a gap ta our church economy be tween the Sabbath school aud the ohurgh itself, that bits never been autepH&L’’ His idea was c at the Christian EndW^Ogsupplies this gap. It gives a kind of graduation or preparation to the youug church member bsto-q entering upon the work Of the church. Men and women are prepared for all professions and occupations, nnd why should they not ba prepared for the work of the church! Mr. Stubfc* said the lack of such educa tion is responsible for the scarcity of young men and the lank of teachers in the Sunday schools. His address was a good exposition of the objects of the Christian Endeavor. THE CLOSING EXERCISES. Miss Fulford of Trinity church rendered a recitation, "The Billows of Life,’’iu a very touching manner. President W. E. Lowry of the sooiety of the tj'aptijit church mode a short address upjfi'“7taw to prepare for, aud take part in a Christian endeavor" meeting.’• There was prayer by Ely Otto of the Now Houston street Methodist Episcopal church. After a song tho meeting adjourned with the Usual benediction. Tho meeting was remarkable for the number ot young people present, all of whom seamed to ba iuterdaiod in the work of the society. The Chris ian Endeavor is doing a great work among the young peo ple and Is growing in uuiauer.and influence. CORN COB3 IN HI3 BSD. A Kind cf Hospitality a Savannah Man Didn't Understand. C. B. Warrand tells a good story of Geor gia hospitality, which he experienced in Burke oounty several years ago. He was traveling through Middle Georgia. One Dight he was overtaken by rain some ten miles from the nearest railroad station. Ho stopped at a comfortable-looking house, and was invited to spend the night After a substantial supper, and enjoying for a while a roaring pine-knot fl-e, ho w as shown to hia room, wbich he shared with the ouiy son in the family, a lad about 15 years old. Everybody endeavored to be kind and hos pltatjle. How far this kindness went con vinced Mr. Warrand how oackward some people aro. ( it The lad went upstairs with a light wood torebaud placed it intheohunney, or rather tirq place. The knot gsvu at first a very good light, Tne bod was. home-made, but was so: upulously clean ahd inviting. By the time Mr. Warrand was ready to "turn in,” as the lad said, the ligbtwoo’d had gone out. “I lay down," said Mr. Warrand, and stretched myself out for a good night’s rest. "Suddenly my hand touched something rough about au inch thick and nearly a foot long, i gave a j r ell and a jump and made a rußti for his match-box. After striking a light and examining the bed I found a couple of fresh oorn-corbs, with all the fuzz generally found on a freshly shelled corn-cob.” The lad, who had also jumped out of his bed, wanted to know what the trouble was. Mr. Warrand told him what he had found. “You don’t know what they are for,” re plied the boy, with pity expressed in hiß countenance. “Well, stranger, you heard about pisened oau, ain’t you? Some calls it cow-itch.” Mr. Warrand acknowledged that he knew of such a plant, which is re puted to cause ugly sores if anyone han dles it. “You don’t know that (he country around hero is full of it and the fleas ancl red bugs is powerful had just now. Now, if you waut to scrach yourself, the old lady just put these’ere cobs to be handy, and you ueoiu’t be steered of pisened oak.” Mr. Warrand said he went buck to bed with a blush of shame, iuokily covered by darkness, for bis utter ignorance of the primitive currying arrangement, and was compelled to admire the kind intention and forethought of hi# hostess. He added; “I may suv I passed tho night without making any use of the corn-cobsi” Confirmed.

I the Central railroad will adopt o new system of accounts, tho same as that used by all of tho Richmond and Danville roads. The Savannah, Americus and Montgom ery Railroad Company has been increasing its rolling stock. Eight ventilated ears have recently boon added to the road's equipment. The annual report of the Wagner Palace Or Company shows their gross earnings, in the United States and Canada, for the past year to ha $3,297,371; operating expenses, 12,669,017; net earnings, $628,114. Ex-Passenger Agent E. T. Caarlton of the Central road arrived in Macon jester* day and will remain through to-day. Mr. Charlton, it is understood, is looking for a location sf a large stock, bond and insur ance business. —Alacon Telegraph. The great cost of English railways in land damages alone Is Illustrated by the fact that the proposed new Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast railway is estimated at about $207,500 per mile. Of this amount $110,500 per mile will be required for land purchase alone. Brazil is having a big railroad building boom just now. A dozen new roads are being built to tap the southern and western regions, where coffee growing is being largely extended. American engines aad Amerioau cars aro used on tho roads, but tho rails come from England. The Brunswick Advertiser man timed a Brunswick and Western train recently from the 51 to tho 54 milepost, and recorded the distance as traveled la three minutes. The Advertiser expects the Brunswick and Western to beat the Bound Brook route record of a mile in 39 4-5 seconds vet. J. L. Graham left last night for his new field as northwestern freight agent of the Richmond and Danville at Chicago. Mr. Graham has beeu with the trafiio depart ment of the Central in Savannah several years, having come here from Augusta. He has many friends here who regret that his good fortune calls him away from Sa vauuah, and who wish him success in his new field. One passenger train and one freight train are now runniag each way daily from Monroe, N. C., to Atheus, Oa., on th 9 Georgia, Carolina and Northern railroad. The distance between these two points is 199 miles, which is made in seven h urs by the passenger trains. The road is well built, and the track is in fine condition. Twenty-two telegraph offices are now in operation between these two places. The Columbus Enquirer-Sun says of a former Savaunahian: “Mr. D. H. Bythe wood will accept the position tendered him in Macon, and will leave shortly for that city. Mr. Bvthewiod has the reputation of being one of the moat efficient and energetic railroad men in his line of service, aud Co lumbus parts with him with great regret. He will boa decided acquisition to railroad circles in Macou, and is noted for his genial courtesy and cleverness. Macon is to be congratulated on seCuriug bind and his estimable family as residents." Tho latest reported railroad deal is the purchase of the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap and Louisville rood by the Louisville and Nashville. This road is seveuty-flve miles loug, running from Middlesborough, Ky.,to Knoxville, Tend. It connects at Middle.e --b irough with the Louisville and Nashville, and at Knoxvitlo with the Marietta and North Georgia. The Louisville aud Nash ville has been trying for some time to get the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap aad Louis ville, as that road controls a tunnel through which the Louisville and Nashville connects with the Norfolk and Western. This tun nel is the longost tunnel in the south, being 3,791 feet from entrance to entrance. The Mercantile Trust and Deposit Com pany of Baltimore, Md.. have filed a suit in the superior court of Bibb county against Mr. W. B. Sparks for $960 82, whioh they claim he owes them. They claim that oa Feb. 18, this year, Mr. Sparks borrowed from them $12,000 due on five days’ call at 5 per cent. interest. He deposited with them Georgia Southern and Florida railroad bonds to the amount of $15,800 as collateral. Tho *12,000 was not iid and the collateral was sold, but did not bring money enough to cover the debt. They now, through their attorneys, Messrs. Hoke & Burton Smith, bring suit for the sum of $960 82, which they claim is still due them. The Marietta aud North Georgia railroad is to be sold. That is the latest news in railroad circles. J. B. Glover, receiver of the road, has petitioned the United States court for permission to issue $200,000 of re ceiver’s certificates for the purpose of build ing a bridge over the Tennessee river at Knoxville and doing other necessary work on the lino. This petition has been referred to Mr. B. H. Hill, special master in chan cery, to take testimony in the matter. His report wifi be made to Judge Newman at the coming term of the court. It is said that a peticiou will be filed at the same time by the stockholders asking for the sale of the road, aud that the road will be ordered sold some time in January. The talk now is that Jay Gould wants the Rio Oraude railroad, the greatest narrow gauge system in the country. Says an ex change: "There seems to be no doubt that Jay Gould has in miud a proposition to help the Colorado contingent of the Rio Grande, and the wires are being kept hot to-day with cipher dispatches. Now that it has become known that the Banta Fe is trying to form a collusion with tho Rio Grande directors for a consolidation of man agement with Mr. Colbran as general manager, the flyiug Wad street wizard has stopped in Manitou, and will remain long enough to arrauge matters so that the Rio Grande can be added, if possible, to hts Mis souri Pacific system, which is well known tc be his net road.” Iu speaking about the rumor, President Moifattof that road says: “Some of the newspapers are making too much talk and fuss over this whoie thing. The air is full of reports, and I do not know what to expect next. I think, though, that there is nothing in the report that Mr. Gould is trying to get control of the Rio Grande.” “That tired feeling” is entirely overcome by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which gives a feel ing of buoyancy and strength to tho whole system.— Ad.
