Everything is going up except railroad
_ [efi That is what Vice President John
U Egan of the Central Railroad thinks,
jle certainly has good ground for the be
lief. when he considers the many com
modities that have advanced in price dur
ing the past year. Worst of all, accord
ing to Mr. Egan’s views, the things on
which the advance has been greatest are
those most needed by railways in build
ing and operation, the advance to the
real' in the cost being in nowise ac
companied by an increase in the road's
earning powers to offset it.
- r . Egan was seen yesterday. He had
just read an editorial in the Morning News
entitled "Tco Much Prosperity,” in which
the poor man is set forth as being but
little profited by the increase in prices
from which manufacturers of goods are
reaping the benefit.
11. .v,en the poor man of the editorial
anJ ihe railroads of this section there is
eo strong an analogy that Sir. Egan was
absorbed in the contemplation of it. Re
ferring to the article, he said: "It the
writer had placed the railways in the same
category as the poor man he would have
drawn a picture of the future railway
(iiuat on about which we feel very appre
hensive."
"W’hat is the present situation, Mr.
Egan, among the railways in the South as
to ir tamings and volume of business
compared With last year?”
In answer to the query Mr. Egan talked
at length, giving facts and figures that
pro, he rather undesirable situation in
whi !i the lines find themselves. The
record* of the company show that the Cen
tral w ill need to derive increased revenue
if it is to continue paying the high prices
manufacturer* now receive. Following is
what Mr. Egan had to say:
■■(in lines that arc largely dependent on
local business—as the Central—the move
merit of cotton is very much less than
at this period last year, consequently our
gro.-s earnings are not as large,” he re
p:;> ,1 “The general business, which In
ciu-les lumher, general merchandise, cot
ton factory products, etc., is greater than
last year, but at this time In ISO? we had
a number of camps of United States sol
diers located on the line, which were the
means of largely increasing our business,
ith freight and passenger; but of course
this source of revenue was exceptional, in
that it was of a transitory character.
"On through trunk lines similarly situ
ated, as the Louisville and Nashville and
the Southern, their earnings have increas
ed principally on account of their long
hauls and the activity in iron, lumber, cot
ton factory and other industries. Again,
the cotton factories have been the most
active buyers of cotton, and but small
amounts, so far, of the fleecy staple have
sough: the South Atlantic or Gulf ports
for export.
"The future outlook for railway busi
ness and earnings is good as io volume of
freight and gross earnings, but the ad
vance in prices of supp’ies and material
used in operating and maintaining rail
wars, ns well as in construction of the
sene, will more than off-set the increased
revenues derived. For example, hr-, t
rail Hat could be purchased a year ago
at ti e mills for SIS. or less, per ton can
not ii' -wr be purchased for less than S3B and
$lO. This would make the rail we are now
using cost S2.s'X> rer mile more than fast
year and this, in round numbers, would
equal sixiy-six per rent of the gross earn
ings per mile on the mileage of the Cen
tral system, for the fiscal year ending
Hun 1-99. Locomotives have advanced
from 53,000 each to $13,500; box cars from
s+" to SOOO. Iren, lumber, fuel and all
supplies have advanced from twenty to
on, hundred per cent.
"Many railways contract for their year
ly s: pplles at the beginning of the cal
enl r year. Our purchase of supplies for
the nder year of 1599 wiil amount to
$1,155,226.
"Luring the fiscal year ending June 30,
1899 this company handled 2,199.018 tons
of revenue freights, and obtained from
the r ime 1.044 cents, per ton per mile. If
we have the same tinnage during the fis
cal year ending June, 1900, and increase
our exiic-nses for material and supplies 60
per ent.. to prevent a decrease in our
rut earnings, we should increase our av
erm-’e nte per ton per mile two mills.
"To place the railways on the same scale
of prosperity that all other industries are
enjoying In this country, an advance in
rat, - should be agreed to on all classes
of transportation. That is the only way
in which the increased expenses can be

given places as assistants, that the sys

Gabbett and Mr. Maxwell, respectively, in

Interest is undoubtedly keen ns to what
the disposition of the many officials and
freight and passenger men and others In
lower positions will be. Mr. Williams and
Mr. St. John will have more to choose
from among the three roads than can
possibly be of use after the consolida

their positions. Until it is settled as to
who will remain in the employ of the con
solidation there will most certainly be no
little apprehension.
NOT YET DECIDED.
Where the General Passenger
Agents Will Meet This .Month,
The general passenger agents of the lines
entering Savannah have not yet been ad
vised by Chairman Richardson of the
Southeastern Passenger Association of the
result of the application made for the
next meeting of the association, to be held
in this city. The application was made
by all the Savannah lines, as they desire
to have the meeting held conveniently for
the naval stores factors and turpentine
producers, who want the rates on labor
from the Carolina* to South Georgia and
Florida points reduced from the regular
fare.
A few days ago a meeting was held in
Savannah, to which the general passenger
agents were Invited by the factors. The
question of rates was discussed, but the
railroad men had no jurisdiction, so they
promised to present the matter to the as
sociation. It was also promised that an
effort would be made to have the meeting
held in this city.
As is customary in such cases, Chair
man Richardson sent out a telegram to ali
(he general passenger agents, comprising
the association on the receipt of the tele
gram from the Savannah lines. All the
officials will send in their votes relative
to the meeting being held in Savannah.
Within the next two or three days the
question will be decided. The meeting,
wherever it may be held, will be on Nov.
21.
It is a matter of comment that the rail
roads have thus far this season succeeded
in handling cotton without any friction or
jar. This absolute harmony is something
surprising. It is no doubt astonishing to
railroad officials as well as laymen. Not
yet has there been a clash, and nothing
is known that would indicate that there
is to be anything approaching a war. Ap
portionments have been, adhered to at
those points where they have been made,
and at no others has there been competi
tion of the sort that results in rate cutting
and other disagreeable things that cause
strained relations. In all this there is
matter for congratulation.
Excursion rates on the certificate plan
have been arranged by the Southeastern
Passenger Association for delegates and
members attending the following meetings
and conventions: District Conference and

Mr. Randall Clifton, district passenger
agent of the Southern Railway, who is to
be located at Savannah after Dec. 1, was
in the city yesterday, looking after mat
ters in connection with the opening of his
office here. Mr. Clifton says he is assured
the office will lie completed by Dec. 1, at
which time he is very anxious to get In.
The office will be one of the handsomest

OCTOBER SHIPPING HEAVY.
EXPORTS FOR THE MONTH SHOW
AN INCREASE OF $1,55.R57.
Tlie Improvement Due to the Higher
Priees All Stnple Products Foiu
mnnd This Y ear Over Last—Exports
of Cotton Show Increase of $1,068,-
076, and Spirits Turpentine Runs
Ahead $428,:i7t.
The impression prevails in some quarter*
that Savannah shipping is suffering a
loss this year owing to the fact that cot
ton receipts are light, the claims that
spirits and rosin are about at their row’s
end in Georgia, and that considerable lum
ber Is being exported through other ports.
The value of the foreign exports for Oc
tober, however, as compared with the
same month last year, show an increase of
$1,655,387. This is considered a groat record
as compared with last year’s shipping.
While there is a falling behind in some
staples, others have fully made up the
loss. This is the case with phosphate rock,
which shows an increase of $46,000. The
explanation of the large increase, however,
is the advance of staple products, such as
cotton, which Is about 2 cents higher all
around, as against last year; spirits tur
pentine, over 15 cents a gallon higher, and
all grades of rosin, some of which are $1
higher. Most of Savannah’s exports of
lumber are coastwise shipments, and are
not entered at the custom house.
The following statement which has just
been made out in the collector’s office at
the oustom house, shows the value of the
leading exports for the month of October,

Y. M. C. A.’S STAR COURSE.
Tlie First Entertainment to Be Given
NVeelc After Next.
The talent secured by the Young Men’s
Christian Association for their star course
this winter is of the highest order and
merits the patronage of the cultured peo
pie of Savannah.
The first entertainment of the course will
be given Thursday evening, Nov. 30, at the
Guards’ Hall and will be the John Thomas
Concert Company. Mr. Thomas holds a
position as an entertainer which few art
ists have gained, he has such a keen sense
of the humorous side of life that he is
constantly adding original conceits <0 his
fund of incidents for platform narration,
and by his ability he is enabled to give
many features of a very attractive arid
novel character. Miss Edna Marie Gou.-
land occupies a place to-day with the
leading sopranos of this country. Miss
Annie Webster Thomas, the talented vio
linist with the company, has met with en
thusiastic reception wherever she has ap
peared. There seems to be no limit to her
wonderful ability to execute with charm
ing grace any music according to abso
lutely correct methods. The pianist,
Charles A. Ridgeway, is both a soloist and
accompanist of unusual merit.
For the December attraction the com
mittee went to considerable expense to ob
tain the Fadettes Woman’s Orchestra ot
Boston, America’s greatest organization
of women players, composed of twenty
artists, under the direction of Mrs. Caro
line B. Nichols. Their programme Is sure
to please. On their first tour through the
South last winter they met with wonder
ful success, and in many places have been
re-engaged for this season.
Miss Ida Benfey, the American story
teller, will make her first bow before a Sa
vannah audience in January. She has a
peculiar field of her own, for few artists
have the rare ability of carrying an audi
ence through Ihe entire thread of a story
and placing before them living scenes, but
this is what Miss Benfey does. She comes
very highly recommended to the commit
tee.
During February Mr. Charles F. Under
hill of New York, who without the aids
that change of scenery and costumes lend
to dramatic expression, will give “A Mid
summer Night’s Dream,” depending on
changes of vocal and facial expression for
individualizing the different personages,
and they tell the story themselves, the
characteristic of each one being brought
out so vividly that after the first Introduc
tion there is no need of running them so
easy la it to recognize them on each reap
pearance.
To bring the course to a close In March
Mr. George Kennan, whoso adventures
In travel have been among the moat won
derful of the century, has been secured
to deliver one of his lectures on travel.
He may give "Russian Political Exiles"
illustrated with lament slides.
