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.” Deserved Promotion. The following letter sent out by the l’laut System will explain ibwlt; Savannah, Ga., Oct. 28, ’93.

Approved H. B. Plant, C. D. Owens, President, Traffic Manager. This is a deserved promotion of a most worthy young man. Mr. Mc Lendon, though a comparatively young man, ranks easily among the ablest aud foremost railroad me: the South. The Times Enterprise 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. They Return Thanks The following letter was received by Mrs. E. M. Smith yesterday from Rev.

Miss Annie Carroll entertained a number of her youug friend? at her home on Washington street Friday evening with a very pleasant social. Among those present were Misses Matsy Hopkinr, Rena Davis, Mayne Davis, Alice Shackelford and Messrs. W. N. Mash, W. D.

Miss Carroll is a delightful entertainer and all who were present expressed themselves as having spent an exceedingly pleasant evening. 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. C.

Roberts arrived yesterday on the noon train from New York and will at once commence to put the Mitchell House in order for the approaching eeazon. We learn that many changes will be made about the place which will improve 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 and we are pleased to learn that the 1 prospects for a successful season at this house are very flattering; Mr. and Mrs. Roberts have many friends in Thomasville, all'.of whom are de lighted to ace them here again. Mr. Keefer is pushing work on his new.ice factory. He has a force of workmen laying the foundations for his machinery which is arriving every day. He will soou have everything in first-class shape. Mr. Keefer has a business to' suit all seasons. In the winter when ice is not wanted he sup plies his customers with wood, and vie versa. He has a large and com modions wood yard, with all necessary sawing and splitting machinery, ad> joining the ice factory, and now has over a thousand cords of wood on hand. There are few livelier or more enterprising bnsinesa men than Mr. Keefer anil he deserves tbe success he is meetiog with. Rates to Augusta. Many of our people are interested the rate to Augusta during the coating exposition in that city. The fair will last Irom the 14 I1 day ot this month to the correspond 1 ng day ot December, lx is go-ng to be one oi the largest and most varied exhibitions ever seen in Georgia. Col. Walsh has secured quite a number of exhib its from the World’s Fair, including 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 represented. We take the following from the last issue of the Atlanta Journal on the subject ot rates: Commissioner Stahlman has issu* ed an order naming the rates to apply from all points in this territory to Au gusta during the continuance ot the Augusta exposition. The rates at all times during the ex position will be 2 cents per mile irav- eled or 4 cents per-mile for tbe round trip. Tickets are good for fifteen days from date of issue. A rate of 1 cent per mile traveled or cents per mile for the round trip is named tor the following days: Within a radius of three hundred miles November 14th and December 13th. Within a radius ot two hundred lea November 21st and 30th, and December 7th., Within a radius of one hundred miles November 161b, 23d and 28th, and December 5th and 12 th. 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?, blooms to let some helpless creat&re know That summer is not dead—jost at a nap, Shs fell through drowsy chance from ont hei lap. Oan’st thou not read the n-essage she would show, This last, sweet rose ? —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 tor Peffer and the Atlanta Constitu* tion while they weep.—Atlanta Jour* nal. 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 brothers but himself,” and now a Chicago firm advertises that theirs is the only house like it in the United States.” The ami-repealers said Mr. Cleve land would "strike down” nlvcr by repealing the Sherman act. theie are $500,000,000 of silver i, Wll „ lucoa ivwiuwr country to-day,and instead of "sinking Io 1889 the United States e*portedj 1t dowa ” Mr ’ Clevetaod is going to over nine million dollars’ worth of such merchandis9 and in 1891 the exports exceeded $12,000,000 in value, the past year showing in tbe exports of beef and fish a large comparative decrease, which brought the total ex* ports under $11,700,000.” Everything eatable is canned these days—all kinds of fruits, vegetables, soup, baked beans, plum padding and meats. The demand increases from year to year, and no canning estab lishment, properly managed, ever fails. The bnsinesa is fairly profit* able everywhere, and in the great lruit-growing and truck-farming gions of the South it should find its natural borne. Trains Five and Six, Tbe Savannah Press of yesterday says: Supt. Fleming of the Savannah, Florida and Western railway has returned from Washington, where he has been attending a meeting of a committee of the Plant system ans thories, who prepared a new schedule for the winter business of the system, Capt. Fleming says trains 5 and 6, taken off on account of the yellow fever in South Georgia, will hardly be pnt back before the latter part of the month. ,f If we have a good black frost, though,” the superintendent conclud ed, “we may have the trains on earlier than the latter oart of November.” keep it at par. Not only that, but he is going ahead and make maay more millions of silver. But Grover says there must be a limit fixed unless oth er nations will agree to take the white metal. The men, many ot them, who have been charging Clevelinf with a burning desire to "strike dew silver,” know that the charge is uuru He wants to keep it at par and prottet the people.

True South Caro Unions will rally around him as they did daring the dark days of recon struction. The Tillmans and Irbys wfil have to give way to better men. Hasten the day when this shall be done. The opponents of the repeal in Georgia and elsewhere charged that with the repeal of the Sherman act, silver would be demonitized. Has any one noticed that a silver dollar is less current since the act was re pealed? There has been mountains of misstatements made about this siL ver business.
