America* Freight Rate* Are Not Rxcelled
In Southwest Georgia.
The Macon Telegraph of yesterday
contained the following:
Col. S. H. .Hawkins, president of the
Savannah, Americus and Montgomery
Railway and Steamboat Company, says
Americus Is enjoying a 27} per cent,
lower rate (all rail route) on all Eastern
freights than she was prior to ber water
connection through his road at Abbe
ville. In addition to this the water line
is working 10 per cent, under the above
figures, which really makes a reduction
of 35 per cent, on all Eastern freights.
And on just this ground we claim that
Americus as a market presents unex
celled advantages either to the jobber or
retail buyer. It is a well-known fact
that the city contains more and better
business bouses tbaD any town of its size
in the state, and there never existed a
liver or more wide-awake sot of mer
chants than those doing business witlilD
its limits. They have ample capital
upon which to run In first-class style
and they don’t fail to do so. The re
markably small number of assignments
recorded in Americus during recent
years is an indisputable testimony as to
Its excellence as a commercial centre.

A Half-Witted Negro Steele a Beby and
Trie* to Sell It.
Perhaps the most curious case of theft
on record came to the attention of the
police in this city yesterday.
Ben Jones, a balf-Witted son of Julia
Davis, colored, stole a negro baby about
two years old and carried it around the
streets offering to sell it for the small
sum of one dollar. He approached
many persons in the endeavor to dis
pose of the child, which he claimed to
be his own. Someone notified Chief of
Police Lingo of the fact and he Imme
diately dispatched Officer Wheeler to se
cure the infant and return It to ita
mother. This was done even before the
mother had discovered the fact that her
child was missing. .

Things Not Generally Known.
It is the large proportion of heated
rays which causes the unpleasant sensa
tion to delicate eyes, experienced after
reading, writing or sewing for a consid
erable period by the light of a kerosene
lamp.
The evil Is always much greater In any
kind of artificial light than In the com
paratively cool light of day.
Robbed, ss this often Is, of the greater
portion of its seventy per cent, of heated
rays by moist atmosphere and repeated
reflections.
If, therefore, we wish to protect tbe
eye against tbe heated rays, we must
pass the light through a substance which
cute off thefrays to the greatest possible
extent. It Is of this substance that the
“Diamond Spectacles" are composed.
The superiority of the diamond may be
summed up as follows:
1. They are ground with the most pre
cise scientific accuracy.
2. The temperature of the diamond
fusion being lower than tbe atmosphere
and the materials preventing the concen
tratlon of tbe heated rays are kept
cool, and weakness and disease are pre
vented.
How vital, therefore, it is that In pre
paring to use spectacles only .the best
and those approved by scientific author
ity ahould be selected. ■ ■

* Loti-ell es a Poet.
As a poet, whatever comparisons may
bo made with liis predecessors or con
temporaries. at home or abroad, what
ever just criticisms may be recorded, we
believe it will be found at the end that a
large part of Lowell’s verse has passed
into literature, there to remain. The
originality, vitality. Intensity and beauty
of the best of it are self evident Al
though a true, spontaneous poet, bis life
bad other strong interests and engross
ing occupations, and the volume of his
verse does not equal that of others
whose carters have extended beside his
own: bis Impression as a poet upon his
time has not equaled that of others.
It may. indeed, be said that if as
strongly poetic in nature as they, he
would have been dominated as exclu
sively as were they by tbe poetio mood.
However this may be, the quality of Us
genius, as shown in his-best work, was. vourget .
we believe, quite as fine as tbat of any ]• >
poet writing English in bis day. Bo
one can read Ua last volume of verse
without being impressed anew by the
vigor, variety and spontaneous charac
ter of Lowell’s poetio gift Even Us
literary faults are of inch a nature as to
testify to tbe keenness of his thought
and the abnndance of bis intellectual
equlpmenL—Century.
