A RAILROAD ALLIANCE.
The Central an«l Plant Lines to Work In

JULIUS L. MACK, - - - iMaftt
KK\v York, Dec. 20.—The follow
ing are the latest and moat impor
tant moves on the railroad cheaa-
linard: Jiilm H. liimnii, hh a com
mittee of one, representing the
Georgia Company, has Just per
fected a contract with H. H. Plant,
President and autocrat of the entire
Plant system. The contract is ab
solutely reciprocal In Its co-opera
tive provisions witli reference to all
truffle and establishes these two
vast systems ot Southern railroads
in perfect harmony of interest a fid
policy. The alliance virtually con
solidates two ot the greatest railroad
properties of the Houth, and the
combination is well calculated to
baffle rivalry and squelch opposi
tion. It will most likely prove a
strong obstacle in the way of any
new rnilroud enterprise that either
is now, or may hereafter be pro
jected into the territory of the allied
systems.
OKKKN81VE ANI) DEFENSIVE.
The contract Is made with the
idea of mutual benefit, and in the
spirit of mutual protection, offen
sive and defensive. One of the most
especial benefits accruing to the
Georgia Central under the arrange
ment is the guarantee to Its Ocean
Steamship Company of all Florida
freights which the Plant system
can furnish at Savannah.
There Is a vast deal of this busi
ness, it isctaimed. This is tho first
Important action which the Geor
gia Company has taken in exercis
ing Its right, through ownership, of
a controlling interest In the Georgia
Central.
The only other step It lias taken is
to liuve determined yesterday who
shall compose the Central Railroad
directors next. There will only be
three changes In tho present board.
The new trio will be Samuel M. In
man and Hugh T. Inman, of At
lanta, Oa., and Walther Luttgen,
of August Belmont A Co.
Having Sweet Potato Vines.
A Mississippi farmer, writing to
the Southern Live Stock Journal,
says: 1 noticed in your last issue un
urticio beaded, “Cseof Sweet Po
tato Vinos and Leaves.” I have
used sweet potato vines for several
years and the main trouble I had in
saving it was to get it in some place
where my mules and cattle couldn’t
break into it and consume it faster
than I wished to give it to them;
for indeed it makes most excellent
hay. 1 have saved it in two ways.
First, I pulled the vines oft the
ground with u hull-tongue plow,
hauled them up and liung them on
I Miles, under the shelter, being care
ful not to get them ill too lurge a
bulk.
In a short while they would he
perfectly dry. Of course, as they
are uuder shelter there is no danger
of s|H>iling. The next way is, though
only u little different from the first,
I think the best way. Pull them
off, as iri the first cose, spread them
out in the sun; this can be dono be
fore they are carried from the field.
I,et them sun about one day; this is
sufficient to cure them. Then I put
them away as I do any other hay.
I noticed this difference: While
those under an open shelter would
get very dry aud stay so, those in a
barn or loft all bulked together seem
to retain Just enough moisture to
make them easily masticated and
digested, while In the first case they
get so dry anil hard it makes them
hard to masticate. It is well to
shake off the dirt that adheres to
the vines while pulling them offbe-
fore putting away. Never let the
frost fall on them before pulling,
my experience is that as food for
milch cows the potato vine parallels
the most of our grasses.
Children
Often need some safe cathartic and
tonic to avert approaching sickness
or to relieve colic, headache, sick
stomach, indigestion, dysentery
and the complaints incident to
childhood. IAtt the children take
Simmons Liver Regulator and keep
well. It is purely vegetable, not
unpleasant to the taste and safe to
take alone or in connection with
other medicine.

“No, that is not put there simply
for ornament,” said an oyster
opener In a Philadelphia oyster
bouse yesterday. “It is useful as well
as decorative. It is a clock, and it
was Imported from Paris.” The ob
ject referred to was a tdg tin plate
or waiter which hung against the
wall. Around theedge were group
ed a doxen oyster shells. The one
at the top bore the number 12 In big
letters and tho others were num
bered from I up to that figure. In
the center was what appeared to be
a saucer with four slices of lemon
upon it, and crossed on the saucer
was an oyster knife and fork. These
latter were the hands. The clock
was going and as the knife, which
was shorter than the fork, pointed
between the 2 and 8, and fork to
the figure 7, it was 2:36 o’clock.
