fur Tmniiportntion of Live Stock
or( | l _l>rt>lml>le That a Reduction
W ill He Obtained—Other Railroad
Items of General Interest.
Between 7.0C0 and 8,(DO mules and horses
are reported to be at Tampa and other
camps in Florida, which are being broken
~p. This immense amount ol live stock
is to be moved North, but the government
js said to be averse lo paying the rates
asked for its transportation, and is holding
off from giving any contracts with the
hope of securing better rates from the rail
roads.
At present the rate asked is said to be
J'<;3 ;1 car from Tampa lo Jersey City, the
government releasing the railroads from
a l liability, and feeding and caring for
the stock in transit. There are, it Is un
derstood, an’average of twenty mules ot
horses to the car, so that it would take
nearly 400 cars to transport this quantity
of stock, and cost the government, at the
existing rate, about SSO,COO.
Inasmuch as the stock can be moved ia
carload lots, it is the feeling in the depart
ment charged with the moving of supplies
that cheaper rates should be had. It is
not known what the Florida Central and
Peninsular and the Plant System, with
their connections, will do, but it Is possible
that some reduction will be made.
Mr. Claude Dennis arrived from Louis
ville yesterday and assumed his new po

special leaving Savannah on Monday
night.
The Southwestern Alabama, extending
from a point near Newton, Ala., to Elba,
a distance of 35 miles; was opened for traf
fie’lasl week, it was built by the Plant In
vestment Company, and opens up one of
the finest cotton and naval stores sections
in Alabama.
it is reported that the Pennsylvania is a
heavy buyer of the stock of trolley roads
whose competition has been affecting the
passenger business of the company, with
a view of getting control of the lines and
operating them in a manner more advan
tageous to its own traffic.
Some of the Western roads have just dis
covered that a combination of newsboys
have concocted a scheme whereby passen
gers were deadheaded over the road. For
a consideration they fitted out individuals
with a regulation cap and a stock of wares
which enabled them to pass over the road
as one of the “bojs."
The Reading has issued a statement of
the speed performance of the initial trip of
it- “one hour train” between Camden and
Atlantic City, which shows that an aver
age of 75.53 miles an hour was made for
the distance of 55.5 miles. The last mile
was covered in 62 seconds. After the sec
oi: 1 mil. post was passed the speed exceed
ed 60 miles an hour until it became neces
sary to slow down on the approach to At
lantic City.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
b>e n in communication with a representa
tive of the Big Four system relative to the
formation of a big freight car pool. The
movement Is at the present time being
promoted more especially by Mr. William
Cavanaugh, who is interested in the exten
sive freight traffic throughout the central
section of the country. The Baltimore and
Ohio has not, as yet, sanctioned the prop
osition, though its officials admit the In
herent advantages of the scheme if re
duced to a practical basis.
Thomas C. Powell has been

Louis Railroad. Mr. Powell has been chief
e.erk in the general freight agent's office
of ini Southern Railway during the entire
rniocl that H. F. Smith was general
freight agent, and his promotion is a very
d.s. rved one. He is quite a young man for
eu H a responsible position, only 33 years

ity and enjoys the full confidence of the
southern Railway management.

MRS. MAKIVS FIRST VERDICT.
Granted a Divorce in the Snperior
Coart.
The divorce suit of Mrs. Willa Makln
against her husband, Edmund Makln, was
heard in the Superior Court yesterday. By
agreement of the attorneys of both part
ies, Mrs. Makln was allowed a first ver
dict. The case will come up at the Decem
ber term for final disposition.
Owing to the nature of the allegations,
is was not desired to hear the witnesses.
It was therefore agreed that Mrs. Makln
should have a first verdict on the ground
of cruel treatment. She was the only wit
ness introduced, and in answer to ques
tions by Judge Twiggs, said she considered
it impossible to live happily with her hus
band. She told about his alleged cruelty,
that he accused her of unbecoming con
duct, and forced her from the house at
night at the point of a pistol.
It is understood the facts will be more
thoroughly developed at the hearing in
December, when the disposition of the
children, the property rights, whether the
plaintiff wili again be allowed to marry,
and other matters to be included in the
final decree will be disposed of.
A decree was taken in the case of Jor
dan F. Brooks, trustee, against William
M. Davidson, in which property rights
were concerned. The repoTt of Special
Commissioner I. D. Laßoache, who was
appointed to dispose of certain property,

ward, to the'Savannah Institute of Sisters
of Mercy for $4,350, subject to $592.66 un
paid purchase money due the city. The
commissioner sold lot No. 6, in Calhoun
ward, to Mr. W. M. Davidson for SB,OOO,
subject to $1,200 purchase money due the
city. The decree directs the commissioner
to execute titles to the purchasers, and
also provides for payment of the court
costs.

1 SPANISH WOIll’S TERRIBLE
EXPERIENCE!
The Difference Betwean Spain’s
Brutality to Women and
Anglo-Saxon Humanity.
Among all the Incidents of the Spanish-
Amerlcan war, one of those which best
illustrates the Spanish character is the
story of a wealthy woman refugee driven
from Santiago by the fear ot bombard
ment returning again to find her home
and property pillaged and destroyed by
•soldiers of her own race and>blood.
Imagine, if you can, such an occur
rence in an American or an English army!
Imagine any one of the hundred inhu
manities and atrocities toward women
which characterize the Spanish race be
ing duplicated under the rule of an Anglo-
Saxon nation! Impossible!
No wonder so many frightened refu
gees look upon the American army as
.V; t sir*iAnM 7t
it , j* * , '' V. j] M.
“NO WONDER THAT SPANISH REFUQEES SEEK AMERICAN PROTECTION. 1
their deliverance from the hands of a
brutal and Inhuman mob.
The way a nation treats its women is
the mark of Us standing among the world
of nations, and shows in an instant its
state of civilization or of savagery.
THE AMERICAN SENTIMENT.
Americans exalt their women as the
better part of the nation, and render them
such true, devoted homage as womankind
receives in no other country in the world.
It is not mere lip-service nor the shal
low gallantry which parades itself in fine
phrases and extravagant compliments. It
is the simple and sincere deference of
genuine manhood towards the sex which
Includes their mothers, sisters, sweet
hearts and wives.
How fully do American women appre
ciate and reciprocate this obvious senti
ment of American manhood? It is a ques
tion worth looking into. Do the women of
ot r country fully realize the opportunities
for happiness and power which lie within
their grasp? If they should lose a large
proportion of the queenly heritage so freely
accorded and which rightfully belongs to
them, where lies the blame; and wherein
la the redress?
HOW IT IS SOMETIMES THWARTED.
Many a woman—many a thousand wo
men—throughout this land where woman
kind is loved and reverenced, lead lives
of constant misery and sorrow. Many a
woman feels that her daily lot is wretch
ed and unhappy beyond description. She
is weighted down by a crushing burden
of physical weakness that her husband
cannot understand, and for which he does
not know how to make allowance, simply
because he is a man.
He forgets—if indeed he ever realizes
that a woman’s entire existence, mental
as well as physical, is bound up in and
identified with the delicate and important
special organism of womanhood. When a
woman Is peevish, fretful, nervous, full of
aches, pains and constant miseries, he will
seldom attribute them to their actual
cause.
WHERE THE BLAME LIES.
He will blame a woman’s temper for
what Is rightfully due to a condition of
disease and weakness. He wili forget his
loyalty and patience; grow careless of her
feelings, neglectful and even perhaps un
kind. What should lie the delight anf
comfort of domestic life is embittered and
sometimes almost destroyed through mu
tual ignorance of the great fundamental
facts which control and color the woman’s
physical life.
Should there not be a more thorough
confidence and frank understanding be
tween husbands and wives, and between
mothers and daughters on this all import
ant subject? Ought not everyone concern
ed to make this problem of repairing the
physical capacity, upon which all other
capability depends, the foremost object of
their earnest solicitude?
The kindest of husbands cannot fully
sympathize with what he does not under
stand. However terribly a woman suffers
she hates to be complaining of iii-health
all the time; she hates to acknowledge
that she has any weakness of this nature.
If she calls in the doctor, nine times in
ten the inexperienced local practitioner
does not diagnose the trouble correctly. He
prescribes for liver disease or heart-weak
.ness; or he may say: "Your nerves and
stomach need a little toning up; that’s
all.” He will seldom recognize tho fact
that the real trouble is In the organs dis
tinctly feminine, the special, Intricate and
sensitive structure which tits a woman for
wifehood and motherhood.
WHY WOMEN HESITATE.
When a sensitive modest woman once
fairly realizes the cause of the continual
aches and pains that are sapping her vi
tality and making her life a failure, one
of the first thoughts that come to her is
a dread of the mortifying questioning, ex
aminations and local applications which
doctors so uniformly insist upon; and it
seems to her almost as if it were better
to endure her constant pains and miseries
than submit to this embarrassing ordeal.
ONE WOMAN’S EXPERIENCE.
The fact that such on alternative is en
tirely needles*; that there U a perfect and
unfailing remedy by which her troubles
may be absolutely cured in the privacy of
her own home without resort to ilu-se re
pugnant methods, comes to many a wo
man like a revelation of mercy and deliv
erance. "For one year 1 Suffer, 1 more
than tongue can express,” says Mi-. Lily
Heckart, of Bartlesville, Cherokee Nation,
Indian Territory; “I was ih ii ’.y all
the time. I was scarcely able to work half
of the time. 1 coud not even dross myself.
God alone knows what I suffered. 1 lint
falling of Ihc womb so badly that at
times I could not bo turned in bid. I suf
fered from palpitation of the heart. I
would often faint away and it seine and as
if 1 never would recover. 1 had sick
headache nearly all the time, and a I o had
St. Vitus’ Dance. At the commencement
of the monthly period the Lnis, ry would l>e
so great thnt I would be nearly crazy;
this would last from twelve to twenty
four hours and 1 would suffer untold
agony: When I would stand on my feet
it seemed as though the top of toy h. .id
would come off, and I had almost lasi
memory when I commend'd using l)r.
Pierce's medicines. I had doctored with
live different physicians, but they did me
no good. They finally said they had done
all they could.
WHAT HER DOCTORS SAID.
"One of these doctors, of forty years’
experience, said to me: *1 can't do you any
good, so why not try Dr. K. V. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription?’ So I decided to
write to Dr. Pierce and describe my troub
les. He wrote me a nice, fatherly, kind
letter In reply, and I follow. I his advice.
I took three bonles each of Dr. Pierce’S
Favorite Prescription and ’Golden Medical
Discovery,' and by the time I had finished
these I had no symptoms of the old dis
ease. I was soon able to do nil my work.
I now do all of my own sewing and am
heavier than ever before; I weigh 145
pounds, and my husband says I look the
same as when I was young. Life is a
pleasure to me now, Instead of a burden
as it was before I commenced using Dr,
Pierce's medicines. I can now enjoy (he
society of my friends, and Dr. Pierce's
medicines have done me more good than
all the doctors ever did.
"Three of my neighbors have used Dr.
Pierce’s medicines and it has helped them
all. 1 will lake no other medicine but Dr.
Pierce’s and I recommend it to all my
friends. 1 am willing to answer any let
ters of inquiry if stamps are enclosed for
reply."
AN EMINENT SPECIALIST.
This superb remedy was devised by an
educated and experienced physician who
for thirty years has been at the head of
one of the representative medical insti
tutions of America: Tin- Invalid’s Hotel
and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y.
Here Dr. Pierce as chief consulting phy
sician, has successfully treated more
cases of chronic feminine diseases than
any other physician in the United States,
There never was another medicine de
vised which restored complete health and
pure vital capacity to the womanly organ
ism so promptly and radically as this
matchless "Favorite Prescription.” It ab
solutely dispels all abnormal and diseased
conditions peculiar to women, however se
vere and obstinate they may appear.
THERE IS NO OTHER,
It is the only medicine invented by a
skilled and eminent specialist which ban
ishes the anxieties of prospective mother
hood, and releaves the trying ordeal of
all its dangers and a large proportion of
its pains and discomforts. ’T began taking
your 'Favorite Prescription’ in August,
1897. and took it until after my baby was
born in November,” writes Mrs. Molile E.
Grimes of Flomaton, Escambia County,
Ala. ”1 took three bottles of the 'Favor
ite Prescription' anil one bottle of your
little ’Pellets,' and oh, what an appetite
they dhl give me!
’’My baby Is now three months old and
weighs fifteen pounds and a half. When
she was born she was the fattest little
baby girl you ever saw. She was the
largest one of all my babies, and at tho
birth I had an easier and shorter lime than
I ever had. 1 suffered everything that
flesh could suffer with all the rest of my
children, and 1 was also subjtct uj mis
carriage.
“After having this trouble twice I was
almost heartbroken to think I couid not
raise any more children and had to suffer
as I did. I took your ‘f avorite Prescrip
tion’ and also vour little ’Pellets’ (I do not
forget them for they act like a charm),
and now I am the happy mother of a fine
baby girl. 1 am stouter and healthier than
I ever was. I think all prospective moth
ers should use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. I cannot praise It enough, for
I believe It saved my baby's life. What
your medicine did for me I want pub
lished.”
IT INVOLVES NO DANGER.
No alcohol nor opiate, no false stimu
lant, no dangerous narcotic of any sort
or description whatever, enters into the
composition of this great “Prescription.”
It is utterly free from all those delusive
elements which so largely eompo*b“Various
compounds,” "malt extracts," and so
called "tonics,” which tend (o give a mere
temporary exhileratlon followed by severe
depression, and are liable, if persisted In,
to awaken a morbid Intemperate craving
for alcoholic stimulants. Dr. Pierce’s Fa
vorite Prescription is a temperance rem
edy, pure and simple. The strength it
gives is temperate strength; true nerve
force; genuine, sound, enduring vitality.
Dealers in medicines everywhere are pro
vided with this great “Prescription” and
will supply it on request. Any druggist
who attempts to foist a substitute upon
his customers In place of what they ask
for, clearly shows at once his lack of
business honesty and his contempt for
their judgment. I>o not be misled or be
gulled. If you have made up your mind
that Dr. Fierce’s Favorite Prescription is
the remedy you need, stick to it. and insist
upon that und nothing else.
A HUSBAND'S DUTY.
Every husband of a suffering wlfe;evcry
mother of a delicate, ailing daughter,
should make it a business to write to Dr.
K. V. Pierce, at Buffalo, N. Y., for a let
ter of sound, sensible, professional advice,
which will l>e sent promptly, and entirely
without charge. In any ease, where de
sirable and practicable. Dr. Pierce will
suggest special self-treatment at home
without a physician's aid.
Inviolable confidence Is of course the un
varying rule that governs every communi
cation received by Dr. Pierce. No letter
is ever published without the writer's ex
press permission. No sensitive woman need
hesitate to seek so certain a relief which
involves no sacrillce of time or privacy.
A GRAND VOLUME FREE.
Every family should iwssess a copy of
Dr. Pierce's great thousand-page illustrat
ed Common Sense Medical Adviser—a mag
nificent home medical library in one vol
ume. Nearly a tnllllon copies were sold
at $1.60 each, but a free copy In strong pa
per covers will now be sent for the bare
cost of mailing, 21 one-cent stamps; qr for
31 stamps, a heavier, handsomer, cloth
