Trains Five and Six.
The Savannah Press is hammering
away at the railroad to secure the
restoration of trains five and six. A
late issue contains the following:
'Superintendent of Transportation
Jackson of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway was asked this morn
ing when'trains 5 and 6, taken off on
account of the quarantine, would be
put on again.
I don’t know,” he said. "Th e
committee which arranges the winter
schedule Of the Plant system is now
meeting in Washington and they will
not be put on until thvy decide the
winter schedule of the system. Trams
5 and 6 may not run again. But the
people can rest assured of one thing—
*»e will give them trams 5 tud 6 or
something better.”
The sooner the trains are put back
the better it will be for the road and
Savannah.”

This is a deserved promotion of a
most worthy young man. Mr. Mc

congratulatf-s him upon his promo
tion.
Another Attraction.
Messrs. J. S. Montgomery and C. S.
Parker, one of Thomasville’a wide
awake business firths, lu.ve leased the
J. L. Limbo pond for a number 'of
years and will rpeedtly add it to the
attractions of the place. Sail and
row boats, fishing tackle and other
conveniences for those who delight m
aquatic sports will be provided in time
for the present season. The pond is
already well stocked with bass, bream
and most other varieties of fiih found
in southern streams, and being so
near the city, will prove a popular
place for angling. We compliment
these gentlemen upon the pubUc
spirit and business tact thus manifest*
ed, and wish them success in convert-
lug this hitherto private preserve into
a public attraction. # *
And this reminds us that if some
hve man or set of men would lease
and repair Trout Lake that it could
be made one of the roost attractive
as well as one ot the best paying in
vestments. It is near the city, on a
good road, is amply large -for sailing
and 1 owing,and could be easily slock
ed with fish. For such sports it would
be immensely popular with cur winter
visitors, and with a bath hou-.e and a
pavillion added, Trout Lake would be
well patronized during tbe summer
months by the home people. Easy
terms could be made with Mr. Mitch*
ell and the investment would prove a
paying one.

University of Georgia, vs. Tech
nological School.
Atlanta, Ga.. Nov. 5 th.
The Atlanta Tecks won the foot
ball game at Athens, yesterday by a
score of 28 to 6. 1
Tecks—Touch downs 5.. Goals
kicked 4.
University—Touch downs 1. Goals
kicked 1. ;
The crowd of spectators was a large
one for Athens numbering over 1.000.
When it become evident that the
Tecka had the game in a swing the
crowd began to manifest signs of dis
pleasure. Blonde-headed Wood, the
pride of the Tecks, was singled ont by
them. ^ /
Not satisfied with hurling uncom
plimentary epithets at him, some of
the spectators resorted to rocks. One
of these struck Wood tqu&rely on the
back of the head, but the plucky
little fellow kept right on as if noth
ing had happened. At the close of
the game the silence of the spectators
was truly alarming.
As the Tecks started to leave tbe
grounds the demonstrations against
them were renewed, and for a time
looked slightly Equally.
Wood was hit two or three times
and one of the members of the Uni*,
ver&ity faculty was actually seen with
an open knife ia his hand as the
Tuck 8 left the field.
Tue Tecks simply outplayed them
at every poiut.
The team left Athens at 8 o’clock
and was due in Atlanta at 9:30.
Thirty miles above Atlanta their
,-pcciul crashed into tbe rear end of
a freight train. The special was run
ning at a high rate of speed when the
engineer saw the freight not more
than 100 yards ahead on the main
track. He pnt on his air brakes, but
to no advantage ns it was too late to
stop, there was a terrible cash, the
special came to a sadden stop, the
passengers were thrown over seats and
terribly frightened but no one hurt.
There was a general stampede for
the doors, not knowing what was
coming next, the safest place was
"mother earth.” Four of th6 freight
cars were utterly torn to splinters, two
of them being thrown to the top of an
embankment 30 feet high. The
engine was completely buried io one
of the cars, the escape of the brave
engineer was miraculous.
After a delay of several hours the
passengers were taken on the freight
train and carried to the city. The
accident was caused by the slowness
of the freight’s flagman who was sent
to wave down the special.

it both os to appearance and conven
ience. Tbe Mitchell will be under
Mi. Robert’s personal management
the coming season. He has many
years of experience in the hotel busi
ness and has been connected with
1 of the best and most popular
houses in tbe United States. Daring
the past summer he has done a great
deal of advertising for the Mitchell

prospects for a successful season at
this house are very flattering; Mr.

Rates to Augusta.
Many of our people are interested

coating exposition in that city. The

some of the midway plaisance attrac
tions. During the fair there will be a
great gatheriug of old confeds from
every quarter in Dixie. The W. D,
Mitchell Post U. C. V. will be --well

That Canning Factory-
Remembering that we should not
become weary in well doiojr, we again
allnde to-the'above subject. We
have statetf several times in the recent
past that Thomas oonnty should have
a canning factory and that a better
chance or a better time may never be
presented than the present Mr. Nee-
bit, a man familiar with all the details
of such an enterprise, and who will
come properly endorsed for integrity
and business capacity, proposes to un
dertake the j<ib and cany it to a suc
cessful issue, if reasonably aided and
enoonraged. He will arrive shortly
and we sincerely hope that our people
will meet him and co-operate with
him with the promptness and liberality
which the undertaking merits and
which the necessity of the case de
mands. A canning factory, properly
equipped and run would be no ven*
tore. Wherever the experiment has
been made the results have been sat
isfactory. As showing how the can
ning industry has spread in the United
States, and what other sections are
realizing therefrom we copy the fol
lowing from one of our exchangee:
-MILLIONS IN IT.
From time to time, we have thrown
out hints to the effect that the frnift
and vegetable canning industry is one
of the most profitable enterprises that
coaid be conducted in the Sonth.
This industry started less than fifty
years ago, when a man in Pennsylva*
nia began to put up tomatoes in tin
cans at 50 cents a can, and, in 1887,
the total output yearly reached 3,000,-
000 cases of two dozen cans each.
The output of last year was 3,366,000
cases, New Jersey and Maryland
tarnishing about half of the total pro
duct of the country. Competition, it
should be said, has reduced tbe price
of a single can of tomatoes from 50 to
7 cents. The Boston Advertiser says:
"The tomato canning industry is
almost rivalled in extent and im
portance by the corn packing trade.
The latter has grown wonderfully in
the last decade. In 1885 the annual
output was a little over 1,000.000
cases; in 1890 the outpu t was 1,500,-
000 cases; while in the past year the
unprecendented record of 3,500,000
made. Ia that output
New York ranked first, with 800,000,
but Maine came in "a good second,”
with nearly 700,000 cases. In this
trade there has been a growing de
mand for a high quality of goods, and
consumers generally are ready to pay
from 20 to 25 cents a dozen more for
the best corn than for a poor article.
The demand for "high grade” canned
corn has not been fully met in the
past, aud cauners will do well to cater
to that demand.
"While a large part of thecannei’a
product is put up for home consump
tion, there is also a good export-trade
in certain "tinned goods,” as the ac
curate Briton calls these product?,

—Clara Brewster Potwio, in the Outlook.
On the day that Mayor Carter Har
rison was assassinated, the anarchists
of Chicago issued a manifesto declar
ing that the time had arrived for a
bolder declaration of anarchistic doc
trine. The government of the United
States, the manifesto went to say, had
tried and found wanting, there
fore it must be overthrown. Munic
ipal governments, too, were all rot-
to the core, the courts were all the
tools ot the money power and the
police were hired thugs, therefore mu
nicipal governments, the courts and
the police must all be wiped out. The
Chicago anarchists are evidently
“banking” on the ■ friendship of the
governor of Illinois.—News.
Those anarchists and cranks should
be hang to lamp posts wherever
found. They have been given too
much latitude in this country. It is
high time this government should in
tervene and stop such trash com*
ing to this country.
Will the public please excuse Sena

n excited crowd of over 1,000
working people assembled on Canal
Port avenue and burned Prendergast
in effigy.*
Low rates will be secured to the
Augusta exposition. I>. will be in full
blast for thirty day'*, beginning on the
14th inst.
A bill is pending in the legislature
to make all hangings in Georgia pri
vate. Let the bill pass. The people
demand it.
There’s one thing to be thankful
»; the voice of Peffer and his sort
has been stilled, for awhile, at least,
in the senate.
They are boring for gas in Alabama.
No use to bore for it in Atlanta. It
it bubbles right up —io the vicinity
ot the c •pilot.
Governor Pennoyer, of Oregon,
sports the longest pair of ears in this
country with the possible exception of
Peffer and Jerry Simpson. Peonoycr,
it will be remembered, refused to
meet President Harrison when the
latter was on the Pacific coast. Later
he threatened to wade in blood up to
his arm pits unles Congress enacted a
free and unlimited coinage bdl. His
latest is the issuance of a thanksgiving
proclamation. In order to get the
case of tbe people of Oregon on the
docket ahead ol President Cleveland,
he has fixed his date one week ahead
of the president’s dite. He will thus
get the first hearing. In his procla
mation an appeal is made to ibe Al
mighty to protect the silver m‘t.e3 oi
the West. And this in the face of the
fact that the streets of the new Jeru
salem are sa<d to be paved with gold.
Pennoyer is an ass.
Grover may come to the Augusta
exposition. He will fiad democrats
in Georgia standing squarely by the
administration.
The house bill, kaown ai the untin
Chinese bill, has passed the senate
without amendment and only needs
the President's signature to become a
law.
‘ Handy Audy said he ‘‘had no
