Line Will He Open at the Same
Time for Passengers and Freight.
The Seaboard Air Line Railway will
oi'en its through route between Tampa
and Richmond with great eclat. The ex
ecutive officials have determined upon an
opening that will do dazzling, and the
many who will participate in it will en
joy themselves to the utmost as the guests
of tie great system that has been ton
solic ited through the financial genius of
Jo'hi Skelton Williams and his associates.
June 1 has been fixed upon as the date
of the opening in Savannah. The eyent,
however, will, by no means, be confined to
this city, for at most of the important
points along the route there will be cele
brations of the opening up of the new
line.
The programme for the opening has not
yet been definitely decided upon, but it
has been determined to have two special
trains of Pullman cars leave Richmond on
May 30. They will have at least 100 of the
leading officials of the system and prom
inent citizens of many cities of the East
and South. Newspaper men will also be
along in force, representing the leading
papers of the section through w'hich the
Seaboard runs. That the opening and the
railroad will be widely advertised cannot
he questioned.
After leaving Richmond the run will be
direct to Tampa, where the trains will ar
rive the morning of May SI. A dinner will
be served) In that city, the guests of the
Seaboard will be shown the points of in
terest. and the departure will be in the
afternoon. A stop will be made nt Jack
sonville on the way back, and the pro
gramme is now being arranged for the en
tertainment that will be shown the guests
of the company in Savannah on June 1.
A luncheon will be a feature of the hos
pitality of the Seaboard in Savannah. A
list of speakers will be made up, and it is
safe to predict that the affair will be en
joyable In every respect. Other courtesies
will be shown before the party gets away,
which will be in the afternoon. A supper
wiil be served at Columbia, and I hen the
trains will go on to Richmond. The trip
will be a pleasant one, and those who re
ceive invitations from the company and
can accept them will be fortunate.
Capt. W. W. Macktvll, secretary of the
board of directors of the Georgia and Ala
bama, returned yesterday from Richmond,
whore he had a conference with President
■Williams and others, connected with the
Seaboard. The plan for the opening was
there discussed. It is understood that
the regular through service for practice
will be inaugurated the day after the
trains leave Richmond, with the party of
excursionists. Then the tide of travel and
freight will bo constant over the new
rout.* between the South and the East.
Ail but a short stretch of the line be
tween Richmond and Ridgeway has been
completed. When it has been finished the
Seaboard will have Its own route, with
connections made at ail points. The three
roads that are embraced in the consolida
tion will then be as one.
POLITICS HURT THE FAIR.
The Attendance Small on Account o t
the Primary.
The Masonic Fair, like everything else,
felt the result of the stir in politics last
night, and suffered a smaller attendance
than usual as the result. The military
companies were the guests of the even
ing, but only two companies, with thin
ranks, were in attendance. These were
Company B of the Guards, and the Re
publican Blues. The Scottish Rite Lodge
of Masons was also In attendance.
Despite the small crowd, the booths did
a very good business. At Landrum booth
t •re was received through Mis. D. M.
Pelot a handsome and valuable cake. The
following articles were awarded: A La-
Fayette dollar and a barrel of flour. An
cient Landmark booth disposed of the ton
of coal donated by Mr. D. Jt. Thomas.
Zerubbabel booth was in receipt of a do
nation of $lO from the German Volunteers,
sent through Mr. J. I). Helmken. The
awards wore a pair of shoes and a bath
robe. This booth will have a children’s
attraction at the afternoon’s matinee In
the form of a donkey party. Each child
who takes part will receive some re
ward. The contest for the handsome doll
will close to-night at 11 o'clock.
The Oommandery booth has received
from Mrs. Thonsessen several fancy ar
ticles, among them being scrap bogs, and
fan v work mats. The country store did
a very satisfactory business. The
ona.le and candy booth was remembered
to coo l purpose yesterday, receiving from
Mts. Gray at Thunderbolt, some hand
some flowers, from Ehrlich Bros., a con
signment of candy, and also from another
*° ur ce, a lot of Wiley’s candies. Neither
awards nor presents were mode at the
Shrine booth, but the sale of options was
very good.
A' Solomons’ booth the handsome white
sain sofa pillow was awarded. A num
ber of smaller articles were also disposed
At Clinton booth, too, u very good
business was done. Another matinee will

I have used Hall’s Great Discovery for
bladder and kidney trouble, and would
not take a thousand dollars for the bene
fit received from using one bottle. I feel
that I am permanently cured. X make
this statement from a sense of duty that
I owe to those likewise afflicted, and trust

MEETING OF THE UNIONS.
Statement From the Building
Trade's Connell.
A mass meetirig of the Labor unions was
held last night in Labor Hall to hear an
address delivered by Mr. H. C. Black
burn of Augusta.
The upl. n men are waiting to see what
action will ba taken by City Council to
night on ihe r recent demand that only
union labor bo employed cn city work,
and then at Ihe scale of hours and wages
demanded of the contractors. Business
Manager Wilbon cf the unions says that
he has no doubt that this demand will be
granted as he has had assurance to that
effect. The plan of a free restaurant and
commissary has been abandoned as the
officers of the unions think the money
can be used more advantageously being
given direct to ihe person In need.
At last night's meeting the following
over the signatures of J. M.
Wilbon, business agent was drafted, and
approved by the Building Trades Council
as a stattm nt from the council:
"Apropos of the labor question, and the
many unkind remarks that have come to
my attention, will you allow me to say
that, according lo our standpoint our
unions have only made such requests as In
their best Judgment, are honest and true.
It seems that our opponents are circulating
reports that we do not want them to run
their own business! This Is false, as we
only desire to place, according to our
lights, Ihe proper remuneration for our
muscles' worth, and, again, that they will
bo compelled to keep a man, though ho
be unworthy otherwise, except that he Is
a union man. This is not true, as we do
not ask Mr. Tom, Diek or Harry to hire
or keep at work John, Jim or Henry un
less they (the employers) should dis
charge him because of his connection with
unionism.
It would be simply folly in or for me to
try to dispute, the idle rumors that are
flying around. Suffice it to say that If the
strikers now out, under the Jurisdiction
of the Building Trades Council, are not
conducting their affairs and actions in a
manner becoming men and true cit
izens, then I know of nobody
that ever has. I have been asked
‘Why do you not arbitrate your differ
ences?’ To such I would like to Bay that
diplomacy has been shown in our recent
leters to the members of the Builders’
Exchange, and they, on the other hand,
have not as yet received our letters, If
we are to Judge by the non-recelval of
an answer.
"We earnestly desire the consideration
of obr requests that in our opinion said
requests deserves; we do not wish to par
alyze business, even if we could; we have
so far shown our manhood and trust to
do so for some time longer, and we do
not desire to make any attempts at threats,
but should labor so desire, we have hard
ly started as yet, and we trust that no
such course will be necessary, as we
hope that the public will look with un
prejudiced eyes at our course and give us
credit, instead of believing reports of
those of Madam Grundy’s followers, who
try to spread discord wherever they can,
instead of striving for peace and har
mony in which we all should dwell."
SOLO THE RUBBER PLANT.
It Is Probable a Sew Company Will
Operate the Knetory.
The artificial rubber works near Bon
aventure were sold yesterday at noon at
the Court House by Mr. R. H. Tatem, re
ceiver, by virtue of an order from the
Judge of the Superior Court, In the case
of John G. Carter, against the Winthrop
Company. The price was $1,200, Mr.
George W. Beckett buying in the proper
ty for the holder of the first lien, the
Heine Safety Boiler Company of St.
Louis,
The entire claims against the concern
amounted to $4,700. Had the property
been bought by any other than the holder
of a lein, the cost would have been $5,900.
It was offered by Mr. Tatem at the
•mount of the indebtedness, and the first
bid was S3OO. Then SI,OOO was offered', and
from that It went to $1,200, at which
amount It was knocked down to Mr.
Beckett.
The trouble with the rubber concern,
it is said, grew out of difficulties and
disagreements among the members of the
Winthrop Company, which inaugurated
the business several years ago, determin
ing to make the substitute for rubber
under a process of which Mr. Carter Is
the inventor. The principal materials em
ployed in the manufacture of the product,
It Is said, are cotton oil and corn oil.
The machinery and Improvements were
Included In the sale of the property, and
it Is thought anew company will soon be
established to carry on the manufacture
of the rubber substitute. Those interest
ed believe there Is money In It, and they
are determined to give it another trial.
Mr. Carter will be taken In by the new
company, In the Interest of which Mr.
Beckett will soon go East.

chances.
A white man named Hillis, got Into a
political row with another man on Brough
ton street last night, and as the result of
the 'scrap that followed was cut slightly
in the neck. The wound was not bad,
and in short time, he was out again. His
assailant was not arrested.
An interesting cose that will be heard
privately by the Recorder this morning,
is that of a negro man, who, on Saturday
night, just as the market was about to
be closed, pushed a lady who was coming
down the steps down the basement steps,
grabbed her pooket book, containing SSO,
and started off. He was captured by an
officer before he got far, however, and
was locked up until a date should be sot
for a trial.
