GETTING ITS SHARE
Richmond and Danville Man pa the
Freight Question.
T te communication in yesterday’s Morx-
Effß asserting that the Richmond
Terminal was not acting in good faith
ward Savannah, aroused the ire of the
Richmond and Danville inen in this city.
,xe of them who is in position to know,
,“ t W R O did not care to have his name men
went into a full discussion of the
.abject yesterday.
' ■•These statements that the Richmond
, naaville is robbing Savannah of
Untton to ship to Norfolk or West
p‘mt re simply untrue,” he sa ; d,
,-,‘i tba t’s ull there is about It.
•t mav be true that the Central railroad is
la i)!i bales short in its receipts at Savan
:'-' k ; nr the year, and that the Savannah,
ri rida and'Western is 30,000 bales ahead
V aar. but that is accounted for in
01 wavs. ' The Savannah. Florida and
tfitern and the East Tennessee have cut
rto the Central’s southwestern territory,
“*, then the whole crop in the southeast.
n s-ates is shorter than last year. Directly
JT" opposite is true in the southwest. That
Richmond and Danville is taking cotton
Atlanta to West Point that would
.VT-illv come to Savannah is false, and
SL flgure. will show it.
••V rtolk and West Point are both behind
• their receipts this season, as well as Ba
-10 nnab. Toe cotton was not in Atlanta to
hrlce here. Atlanta’s receipts have not
heavy this year as they were last
ar However, the Central railroad rec-
T e , ' w in s how that the falling off was not
rn the cotton brought from Atlanta, but in
the receipts from the southwestern lines,
„tere there is now greater competition.
The books will show that if anybody cares
jo examine them. ... ~
••ynw I can demonstrate to any sensible
.id unprejudiced mpn in a very few min
utes that ibis talk of the Richmond aud
Danville taking cotton and other freight
Tom Atlanta to West Point Is all rot and
the worst kind. It is more than twice the
chsunce from Atlanta to West Point that it
ji from Atlanta to Savannah. The first is
650 miles, the latter is about 300. The Ceil,
tial railroad bed is smooth and easy run
mt the entire disc ince to Savannah. It
rUD i with the ridges and the rivers, not
across them. The Richmond and Danville
from Atlanta to West Point is a hard run-
I niuu real in some portions, at
■eat across the mountains and the
I rivers. Now, it stands to reason
I that the cost to the railroad of transport-
I ineacarload of freight from Atlanta to
I Yh.it Point over such a road is a good deal
I mure than twice the cost of transporting
I tte same carload to Savannah. The rate
I wr hundred on cotton from Atlanta to Sa-
I vannab is 43 cents and from Atlanta to
I West Point 54 cents, a difference of 11 cents.
I Jiow say it costs the railroad 20 cents to
I bring that hundred weight to Savaunah, it
I wcu and cost fully twice as much to carry it
I to West Point. There is a grogs profit of 23
I cents to bring it to Savannah and a gross
I profit of only 14 cents to carry
I it to Norfolk. It would be a fine
1 policy. indeed, to throw away
I i) cents profit on every hundred. The Rioh-
I mond Terminal Company owns both rail
n roads aud i Is nothing to their profit to
II favor one at the expense of the other. They
s| have not only leased the Central, but
I practically own it as well. They have got
j i to make it earn its fixed charges and dlvi-
H deads or go down in their own pockets and
H pavit themselves. The Richmond and Dan
ij ville would have to put up the $300,000 for
|1 Central railroad dividends if the Central
I didn't make it.
“Another thing is that besides being
i I cheaper for the company to bring its
U freights via Savannah they have hero the
Ocean Steamship Company, a water line to
\ r I New York. At Norfolk and West Point
I they nave no steamships, and their profits
|f on the freight end when the freight is laid
I down at the seaport. At Savannah they get
|j the water haul to New York as well as a
cheaper haul to the port.
"It is true wo have not done as much
|I business this season as last, Have the n:er
|| chants orany ether line of business done
; | >sy bet erf As I said before, the statements
M that we i.a e carried ootton away from
If Savannah to Norfolk or West Point is
■ simply untrue.”

POOLER’S NEWS BUDGET.
Tfca Week's Tolngs in Savannah’s
Busy Little S ster.
Mrs. Kent, a former resident of Po vler.bnt
now of Savannah, was visiting ber sister,Mrs
J. C. Marsher las; week. Widle here she
went bouse hunting, as she is desirous of
returning to this place to live.
The petition protesting against the use of
theL uisviile road by the electric railroad,
is again being pre-oated to Poolerites for
their signatures. Not many are signing it,
as everybody is willing to do all pos>ibie to
induce the car lines to come to Pooler.
Baggageru aster Grignr of Uncle Mike’s
“vestibule” will soon be a resident of Pooler,
having rented J. B. Newton’s 2-story
brick residence near the waiting room.
There is a harvest for any man who will
build a number of cottages here and rent
them. Applicants are on the bunt all the
time.
Sunday night as the shoofiy was nearing
tbs 2-mile post some miscreant fired a rock
at the train. It crashed through a window
at which Baggagemaster Urigor was sitting,
barely missing his bead. He was covered
with bits of broken glass but luckily escaped
unhurt. There is no suspicion as to who
did it.
F. H. Forehand, a former resident of
Pooler, but now of Savauuab. will celebrate
bis golden wedding at Turner’s hall in Sa
vannah on Wednesday, Jan. 27. There are
representatives of three generations of the
Forehand family in Pooler. Mr. Forehand
has been an employe of the Central railroad
for quite a number of years and though 74
years of age, is still an active and energetic
man.
Tuesday evening a delightful entertain
ment was given at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. H. J. Herb complimentary to Miss
Louise Mormon of Macon. The affair was
largely attended, and everybody spent a
very enjoyable evening. A band from
Savannah furnished music for those who
were inclined to dance, and the figure
caller was kept busy, which indicated that
the dancers were having a happy time.
Since Uncle Sam would not give an ap
propriation for a public buildiug or post
office in Pooler, Postmaster J. P. Jones has
decided to build one himself. Supt. Dill of
the Central has promise i to use his influence
iu getting the site, aud when he locates it
Pooler will have anew p Btoffice, as the
postmaster has the lumber already ordered,
and it will be delivered just a3 soon as Supt.
Dill can fix up the papers for the site.
Sunday Messrs. Daniel Tuberdy, Hyman
Hymes and Hugo Wenzell, members of the
Savannah Bicycle Club, paid Pooler a short
visit, coming up on Safeties. They rode up
the railroad track and returned by
by the Louisville road. They were hospit
ably entertained at the residence of llenry
Buford. The gentlqme i seemed surprised
that, a place the size of Pooler did not have
an eating house or hotel. On account of
inclement weather they did not go sight
seeing, but returned to Savannah as soon
as they finished dinner.
The rumors that have been afloat regard
ing the taking off of the shoofiy, “Uncle
Mioke’s vestiDule” are probably untrue, as
the officials are studying the interests of all
their local traffic instead of injuyiug it,
aud the taking off of that train would
necessitate quite a number of Poolerites
moving to Savannah. The fact that Pooler
has supported a special train when the popu
lation was smaller than it is now proves
conclusively that the Richmond and Dan
ville will not do anything that will injure
its receipts. Capt. Kelly’s train will remain
as it is now, tbs “early birds' lightning ex
press.”
The peti tlon from the Poolerites to the board
of education begging for m _>re teachers and
better school facilities, it is thought here,
will be favorably acted upon. The bo lrd
appreciates the importance of having good
schools in the country and will no doubt do
everything ia Its power to give Pooler larger
quarters and more teaoi ers. Supt. Mo-
Dowell certainly has his hands full, as he
has an average attendance of 100 scholars
and only one assistant. It Is probable that
Supt. Baker of Savannah will pay the school
an official visit, and when he makes his re
port the board of education can see exactly
how the Pooler sohool is orami>ed for room
and lack of teaohers.

RAIL AND C ROSA IIS.
Supt. Moßee is oarrying into effeot his
inteution expressed some time ago of dis
charging every unnecessary man. Seven
olerks were dropped on the Central wharf
last week.
The public agitation on the frequency of
railway accidents in France has become so
serious that the matter came up at a recent
cabinet meeting, when the minister of pub
lic works announced that he was giving his
attention to the question of giving greater
seouritv to travelers and especially to “les
sening the number of delays to trains, which
have oeen one of the principal causes of re
oent accidents." The matter has even been
brought up by an “interpellation” in tho
Chamber of Deputies.
The first transcontinental railway of
South America now larks only about fifty
miles of track to complete the line of SoO
miles from the Atlantic at Buenos Ayres to
the Pacific at Valparaiso. This last i ink,
however, involves the difficult work of
crossing the Andes—the summit level being
nearly 10,500 feet above the sea—and finan
cial and political difficulties seem likely to
delay its completion. The journey over the
gap. however, can be made by mules in
about ten hours, and it is intended to im
prove the road so that carriages can bo
used. ___________

A SPECTRAL VISITOR.
Remarkable Fxperlence of a hulssourl
Man.
Moberly, Mo., Jan. s.—Tho following
incident, which is incomprehensible to me,
may be of imerest to your numerous read
ers, and may elicit from some of them an
account of experiences of a similar nature,
and by this means some light may be
thrown upon a mysterious affair.
Before narrating, I would say I am a
young man of steady habits and steady
nerves. I have worked hard I; and traveled
much for one of my age.
I was visiting Moberly, Mo., and on the
night of Dec. 30, 1891, was stopping
with a relative on street and roomed np
stairs with a cousin, a young man near my
own age.
Being wearied with the trade of the day I
rested well until aboutS a. m., when I was
awakened by a loud noise at the window
near tue head of the bed, The sash seemed
to raise aud iower as though something
entered, sed I distinctly heard footsteps ou
the floor. My first thought was that a
burglar was present and I had beat re
main quiet and feign sieep, as 1 had no
means of defense, and being destitute of
gold watch or shining dollars, I had little to
fear from depredations.
I concluded to observe, as best I could,
his maneuvers.
The intruder walked boldly aud rapidly
around the room, moving chairs, opening
closet doors and peering into them; also
pulling out bureau drawers and closing
them with such an undisguised racket that
I was amazed at his composure.
He seemed determined to arouse the oc
cupants of the room, yet not once did he
advance toward our bed.
-This 1 was momentarily expecting, and
as I could tee from the light coining in at
the windows that he w as examining tho con
tents of the bureau drawers near the foot of
tho bed, with his back tow ard us, I pulled
down the cover a little and datermived to
take particular notice of his performance,
his size and costume, expecting to see a man
in flannel shirt and rubber shoes, armed
cap-a-pie. and ready at any moment to lay
his hands on my throat and demand, “Your
money or your life.”
To iny surprise I saw no such outfit, but,
in tend, a figure that seemed phantom more
than human, large enough for u grown lad,
yet under size for a man, draped from the
neck to the floor in a cream-colored robe or
mantle. Just then unearthly noises sounded
clearly from the direction of the door nt
the head of the stairs. The specter glided
swiftly to the door and opened it, with its
face bent outside in seeming communication
with something, yet 1 heard uo voice or
conversation.
It seemed to me this lasted some time, and
I began to won.ier if the two elder occu
pants of the room below had beou treated to
such a pan*rama as I had witnessed.
Finally the door closed with the mysterious
visitor alone in possession. It darted to
and fro with a swift motion; it
moved lu circles and seemed to sail
rather than walk, not caring how many
chairs knocked against each other. Finally
it seated itself m a chair in an angle from
our bed and seemed to be looking full of
me Ration. 1 no lo- g-r felt courageous
and military. I had no inclina ion to offer
a salute or form new acquainta-.cee. I knew
people enough. I could not have been
courteous to flesh and blood, but from what
distant shore was this visitorl
I thought the 5 o’clock whistle would
never blow, calling the drowsy people from
their beds; that Ih- old rooster would never
crow; that the c nveut bell would never
ring, calling all go o people to their matms.
Finally the s ecter darted toward the
window by which it had entered—a loud
crash—and the mysterious visitor departed
with the dawn to' its own spere. Where!
Who can teili
The noise aroused my crushed manhood.
I sprang out of bed; I looked out of the
window; I saw no ladder where any human
being could ascend or descend: I examined
the closets, looked under the bed aud in the
bureau drawers; I ran down the stairway
to see if the other one was there. All was
silence and vacancy.
I am not a spiritualist anil never attend a
seance. It has been my delight from my
childhood to tease and play ghost to the
superstitious, with the aid of masks and
white drapery. Having struggled continu
ally with the material elements for food
and raiment, I can attribute the circum
stance in no wise to nervousness.
Will someone please explain the wonder
ful phenomenon?
With the coming of daylight my sleeping
companion of my adventure was called to
his work; he bad been asleep all the time,
while I, being worn out with such unnatu
ral vigils, slept till late in the day, but the
anguish and mystery of that eventful night
will never be forgotten.
This is a true statement of what actually
occurred.
AN ESSAY OS COLUMBUS.
A Boy’s Version of the Great Discov
ery.
Johnny in Harper’s Young People.
Columbus was a great man, and is known
even now for miles around, although it is
400 years since he emmigrated and discov
ered the U nited States. He was very fond
of finding out things, and the roundness of
the earth like an orange or a ball is due to
him. He also made an egg sit up, which is
harder, my mother says, than making boys
do the same in ohuroh, like me. I wish my
father was more like Columbus’ must have
been, for when I tried to make an egg stand
up on end, he told me to stop right away,
or I’ll send you to bed. Who know s what
oountry I might discover if my parents did
not discourage me right in the beginning,
just as 1 was ready to start out and begin
to c tnmence?
Columbus didn't have a much easier time
than Ido though. Everybody thought he
was crazy, and several times he was incar
cerated behind prison burs for various
things, and oi.ee he came before a large
number of people in chaius.
He fell in with King Ferdinand and Isa
bella, who gave him enough to pay his fare
to the United States, which lie went to,
though it was slow work, and some of the
sailors said let’s go back, but he wouldn’t,
which was good for us, for if he had have
where would we be living now? In Turkey,
maybe, where the people aiu’t Christians,
but Mausoleums, aud are ruled by sultans,
who get elected because their fathers have
just died and are thrashed every fifty years
by the aristocrat of ail the Russiaus, whioh
would be terrible.
Columbus was nearly three months cross
ing the ocean in three boats. He set sail
Aug. 8, 1492, at 8 o’clock in the morning,
aud the cyclomedia says the first thing lie
did was to weigh his anohor, though it never
says why. Then he sailed right ahead for
three days, when he broke bis rudder and
had to go to Afrioa to have it fixed, which
delayed him some and the crew got mutin
ous, which ha immediately put a stop to
and sat out again, this time keeping it up
until he got to America, where be planted
his bags and said: "Oh, never mind about
that,” to the mutinous sailors, who said
they were sorry they had been so mutinous.
Then lie kissed the beach and told the pro
prietor it belonged to King Ferdinand and
Isabella, but the proprietor never mur
mured. Then he went back to see King
Ferdinand and Isabella, who made bine
round shouldered with honors and riches,
which Columbus liked so much that he
started out again and discovered America
several times more before he died, but it
got monotonous to people aftera wnile, and
for a time Columbus ceased to be a great
msn, even King Ferdinand and Isabella
going back on him. He died in 1506 and
had several flue funerals.
A wbix-known French Journalist. M. Hagues
le Roux, being: told that a beggar could make 15
francs a day in tils Cl amps Elysee. district, re
solved to try It. Dressing himself for the part
he began his test, going Irom house to house.
The wife of a physician gave him an old gar
ment. An old man gave him 3 francs. A
countess, who received him as if be were ‘‘some
body,” gave him !0 francs, directing him to call
again. In a very short t ine he made a sum
equal to 20 francs. At t house at which he
received 10 francs the concierge claimed a com
mission on his good luck.
A colored barker in Philadelphia declined
to admit to his shop Cleveland’s minister to
Haytl, Dr. John li. W. Thompson. Like himself
the man was colored.

IN WAITING
For you to take a drive in one of the
most convenient, comfortable and hand
somest close carriages that was ever manu
factured. Your attention is also called to
the Altick Road Cart, which has met
with public favor for inanyyears. It is de
signed on scientific principles with a view
of obtaining
COMFORT, STRENGTH and BEAUTY.
In the “Altick” Cart horse and motion are
reduced to a minimum, bv the position in
which the spring is placed and in the man
ner in which it is attached to the shafts,
ihe occupants are not thrown high in the
air every time an obstruction is struck, but
retain their seat with perfect comfort. The
curved seat bars, and foot rest are a unit
suspended above the axle and below the
spring by means of a continuous stay from
the foot rest over the spring bar and at
tached to the seat insuring perfect safety at
all times.
The Lightest, Cheapest and Best.
Recause it is made for service.
Because it has no horse motion.
Because it liar, no side or axle motion.
Because t he occupants are safe from accident
Because there is very little weight on the horse.
Because of its few parts and not liable to rattle.
The “Altick” Cart is not built to compete
with the numerous “shoddy” carts which
now flood the market, hut the same
HIGH STANDARD
Which characterizes our Buggies, Phaetons
and Hurries is strictly maintained; while con
sidering the excellent quality
IT IS THB CHEAPEST,
