p i* interesting to compare freight and
-nr rates on the Central Railroad
pew with what they were in its early days.
Ir. 1543 the road was only running to Gor
don or Xo. 17, although the line from
there to Macon was under construction. In
those days freight rates had not been re
d ;n,d to .t matter of scientific calculations
a> they are t „w. Some goods were charged
for according to the cubio yards of space
they occupied, others were taken at so
mi i a ) i kage, while slill others were
charged for by the hundred weight. The
line was divided between Savannah and
Gordon into what might be termed six
ion. s. The first zone included the first
thirty mi ■ s of road, the second the next
twenty, ihe third the next thirty, the
fourih the next thirty, the fifth the next
forty.and the sixth the remainder of the
road. To any point in any one of these
tones or di-;riots the freight rate on an
article was the same. It cost just as much
to ship a barrel of flour 120 miles as it did
to ship ii 150 miles. Very little calcula
tion was required then in determining how
much freight a man had to pay on a pack
age of nvsehandise. The rate was pre
scribed on most goods within each zone
ar.d cal. latious were reduced to a mini
mum.
Asa matter of interest to the shippers of
th. pres, i,i. well as to the general pub
lic. the fob aving table is given of the rates
charged to Gordon in 1898 and in 1813. The
differ, rices, ii will lie seen, are not as
in some cases as might be ex
pected, while in a few instances the com
parisons win awaken surprise.

Jcsttrday from his second trip
In the olden times,
physicians accounted
/ ,y wise, searched vainly for the
Elixir of Life, or the'knowledge
whereby life might be prolonged
We now know that there is no such thing
as an Elixir of Life. But we have learned
that life may be prolonged by those who
take the right measures.
Any man or woman who will take care of
health and take the right remedies for ill
health, may live to a ripe old age. When
a man feels out of sorts, when he gets up
in the morning tired out after a restless
night, and goes home in the evening cora
pletelyjpoeked out with his day’s work,
withourappetite or ambition, he is a sick
man. If he does not take the right remedy
he will soon be in the grasp of consump
tion, nervous prostration, malaria, or some
other serious malady.
A man in this condition should at once
resort to Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery. It is the best of all medicines for
hard-working men and women. It makes
the appetite keen and hearty. It gives
sound and refreshing sleep. It tones and
strengthens the whole system. It invigor
ates the heart and nerves. It makes diges
tion perfect, the liver active and the blood
pure. It cures 08 per cent, of all cases of
consumption. It strengthens weak lungs,
and cures bronchitis, spiting of blood and
obstinate coughs. It is the great blood
maker and flesh-builder. It does not make
flabby flesh like cod liver oil, but firm,
healthy, muscular tissue. It does not make
corpulent people more corpulent. Thou
sands have testified to its marvelous merits.

LAUREL GROVE'S DRAINAGE.
I’nrk and Tree Commission Crates Its
Importance.
The draining of Laurel Grove cemetery,
which was referred by Council to the pub
lic health committee, was considered yes
terday, and it was decided to recommend
a sufficient appropriation be made at once
to do the work. The matter was being
pressed by the Park and Tree Commission.
Bids for the work were received some
time ago by the commission, and were re
ferred to Council, after which the matter
found its way to the committee. In view
of the fact the necessity for additional
room in the cemetery is imminent, lhe
committee decided there should lie no
further delay about recommending a suf
ficient appropriation to carry out the
plans agreed on. It is also the intention to
appropriate enough to make the work
complete in every respect, but the amount
asked by the commission will not He al
lowed. The commission may consider it
self lucky if $1,500 is appropriated for this
purpose.
The intentiop ia to push the completion
of the draining with ail possible speed,
that the cemetery may then be laid oft into
lots.

SUrT. HAISSY’S SIDE OF IT.
Hls Explanation of Hie Tyhee Depot
Incident.
Savannah, July 25.—Editor Morning
News: In your issue of to-day, under the
head of “Crowds at the Sea Side” you use
these words in referring to the Tybee
Railroad, “The lack of effort to accommo
date those who were patrons of the road
was apparent, and was 'generally com
mented upon." This is doing Tybee road
a great injustice as will appear from the
facts in this case.
On the train leaving Savannah
at 3:30 p. m. there were eight
coaches with a seating capacity for 444
passengers. The actual count by the
conductor was 390 people, leaving fifty-four
seats unoccupied. In regard to the gen
tleman who you say forced the door open,
the facts are as follows: The cars are
opend by the conductor when those on
front end of the train have been filled,
and in opening a coach the rear door is
opened for the reason that when we for
merly opened the front door passengers
who already had seats would Pave them
and go into the couch just opened, and
leave the coaches only partly filled, and
as we have the right to make reasonable
regulations we prefer to open the rear
door for the above reason. Now this gen
tleman asked the conductor to open an
other coach and was told that there were
plenty of seats in the coaches already
open, but as there was not room for him
and his party (for there were several of
them) together, he would not go aboard

the train when it was seen a few minutes
later from the arrival of more passengers
that it was necessary to open another
coach, the conductor, according io custom,
opened the rear door. This angered this
gentleman to such an extent that in- threw
himself bodily against the front door and
broke the lock, gaining admittance thereby
for himself and friends.
This gentleman wore the uniform of an
officer of the United States Volunteers,and
as there were quite a number of soldiers
from Tybee on the train, it certainly set a
bad example by one who should have con
ducted himself as became* an officer and
a gentleman, which he did not do. The
matter will be taken to the proper au

How the' New Y ork Clinnced to He
Aw ny \\ hen Cervera ( nine Out.
The Boston Globe Prints a letter from
Capt. F. E. Chadwick of the flagship New
Y’ork to Mrs. Chadwick, in which, under
date of July 4, he write*:
"Yesterday was a wonderful day, as you
will know in a few hours after my writing
this.
"We wore in a rather disgruntled frame
of mind on account of a little note from
Shafter. He wanted to know why the navy
could not go under a destructive lire as
well as the army. It was decided to go
and have a consultation with him. explain
the situation and lay our plans before him,
which were to countermine the harbor, go
ing in at the same time and also trying
lo carry the Morro by assault with I.tKKI
marines landed In Estrella Cove.
“It was arranged we were to go to Sl
boney about 9:36, eo Sampson, Staunton
and I put on our leggins, got some rand
wiches, filled a flask, and the ship start
ed to go the seven miles to Siboitey, where
we were to find horses and a cavalry es
cort.
“We we>e within a mile or so of the
place when a message came to me that a
ship Yvas coming out, and by the time I
was on deck I found the Now Y'ork turned
rpund and headed back, and there they
were, coming out one after the other and
putting west as hard as they could.
"The situation was one which rather left
us out of it. We were too far oft to shoot,
but could see the rest banging away. * •
“The thing was to save the Cristobal Co
lon, as she is one of the finest modern
shii*s of her class. We hurried a prize
crew aboard from the Oregon, closed all
water-tight doors, ns she was evidently
leaking somewhere, but for all we could
do, she settled down on the beach after
floating with the rising tide. It was a
great pity, but the rascally engineers’
force had opened all the valves connect
ing with the sea and we could not get at
them.
“We finally, after eight hours of hard
work, left her .in charge of the Texas and
Oregon, and are now steaming hack to our
post off Santiago. The failure to save the
Colon is too bad. It is possible to do eo,
of course, with the assistance of a wreck
tug company, but she was practically In an
undamaged condition. She had one man
killed and twenty-five wounded.
“I am only too thankful we did not get
ashore this morning. Poor Higginson, who
is down at Guantanamo coaling, will be
full of grief, as also Watson, in the New
ark.”
