' N The survey of the route has been going on for some time and was com* pleted Monday. The plane will be drawn within the next week or two, and alter that it is thought that the contracts will be let as soon as possible. It will not take long to finish the road after work has once begun. The survey is an excellent one, tbe smallest cut will be only about eight feet deep, and there is only one trestle of any importance to build. The branch will leave tbe Southern at a point twenty-eight miles west of Birmingham. It will run north along Horse creek in a beautiful and fairly level valley. About three miles from the starting point the track will pass under the trestle of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad, which spans Horse Creek at that point. Beyond ibis point the road will branch out io three directions and will run to the mouth of each' of the Ivy company’s mines.

Paul and St Louis today, at Cramp’s ship yards, were returned to the International Navigation company by the government.

Tbo officials of tbe company were notifi ed the Harvard and Yale, now in New York, would be also turned over today to the company. It is expected that when tbe president and Secretary Alger reach Montauk to morrow, orders will be issued sending home many more of the volunteer troops.

H. B. Huidekoper from bis son, Private T. Wallis Huidckoper, a member of tbe Philadelphia City Troop, now with the army in Porto Rico, is narrated an incident in which the Spanish troops were very cleverly deceived by a sim ple little trick used by Capt. William son, a regular army officer, says tbe Philadelphia Record. Tbe latter was in command of a wagon and mule train from Ponce to Gen. Brooke’s headquarters, 45 miles away, the train being escorted by the City Troop and Troop H, of tbe Sixth Regular Caval ry. The country was full ol Spanish troops, who could have easily swooped down--on tbe train, and fear was en tertained for its safety. There were 1,200 mules in tbe train, and Capt. Williamson ordered all tbe hospital, signal corps, and ambulance men to ride the mules iu columns of fours. This gave tbe train from a distance, tbe appearance of a body of 1,500 cavalry, and tbe Spaniards gave the warlike looking column a wide berth. B. J. Lunqueit Dead. Mr. B. J.

Martin T. Bergan Passes Away. Columbus, Sept. 2.—Martin T. Ber gen, for many years dne of the leading wholesale grocers and liquor dealers of this city,' died this morning after an illness of several months. Tbe deceas ed wasvi native of Ireland, but bad been a resident of this country ter about fifty years. Besides large prop erty intereats he has been engaged in the manufacture of ice, and was pro prietor of a bottling works at Griffin. The Wilmington Star eays that North Carolina is the most “negroized* state in tbe union, and that the "ne groizing” process is steadily going on. It has a negro representative in Con gress, negro magistrates, deputy sher iffs, constables, county commissioners, school commissioners who manage white schools, aidermen and members of boards of educatinn. It is tbe only state that has negro officials in the insane asylums and ‘other benevolent institutions, and "there are more ne groes in tbe legislature and more negro postmasters than in any other state.” Thia is what Populism has done for North Carolina. Do Georgia voters wish to see aometbing similar in tbeir own state? If not—and we know they do not —then .let them stick to and vote the straight Democratic ticket. O Jk. ffil T O JR. XJU..

AU manner of remedies have been ad vanced for the cure of the finger nai biting habit, including the. placing of injurious and bitter compositions on the ends of tbe fingers, but none of tbe rem edies amounts to much. The only way to stop biting the fin «er nails is to stop. The Americans are next to the French in tbe fingernail biting habit, probably because the Americans, as a whole, are an exceed ingly nervous people. A man who ac complishes his determination to knock off biting his finger nails may, by in cessant manicuring, get them to look fairly well within a year or so, but fin ger nail biting, if long persisted in, ruins the shape of the ends of the fin gers, and the nails can never be brought to look as well as those of the persons who permit their nails to grow as they were intended to grow.—Washington Star. . Too Mach For WaUon. Only once did Watson, when a captain, never fail to punish a man for intoxica tion. This was in the summer of 1893 at Boston, when the San Francisco took the Massachusetts naval militia on its first practice cruise. Among the regular crew was old Alexander Parker, sailmaker’s mate, who was never known to remain sober when there was liquor to be had. When the naval militiamen came on board a witty boatswain’s mate, vyhile no officer was near, sang out in an authoritative tone: "AU you men having whisky on board lay below and turn it in to the sailmaker’s mate for safe keeping.” Many amateur sailors took the bait, and in a few minutes old Aleck, sit ting down below decks in his sailroom, was surprised to have a vast collection of flasks passed to him. He received all these as gifts with many thanks. He waa found a day after sound asleep in his sailroom, literally covered with empty bottles of every size and shape. He was finally taken before the captain, to whom was told the circumstances. "Parker,” said he sternly, "I have no words with which to discuss your case. Go forward. ’’—New York Times. Asked For a Shirt and Got • Wife. During the civil wftr there was a cer tain young lady in Georgetown who found it in her power to do a great deal for tbe Confederate soldiers confined In prison at Washington. Young, beau tiful, cultured, popular, of a wealthy and prominent family, she was fre quently allowed admission to the pris on, whither she always took her maid with a well stocked basket of good things for the poor boys behind the bars. One day as she was passing through a group of men in the common prison she stopped and said to them: "If there is anything you would like to have that I can bring you, won’t you let me know? I shall be very glad. ” One man stepped forward promptly. Bowing most courteously, he said: "If you will be so kind, I should like very much to have a clean shirt. ” He was a young lieutenant from Louisiana, one of the handsomest and most elegant men I ever met, and when that young lady looked up into his brown eyes she found it in her heart to give him much more than a clean shirt, for she married him as soon as the war was over.—Philadelphia Times.
