The telephone bids fair to rival the
telegraph iu many respects. Many
of the railroads throughout the coun

with the use of telegraph wires al
most entirely m the operation of its
trains, and to substitute long dis

change is to be made in the interest
of economy, the management having
convinced itself that the telephone

Florida Wanted Lower Rates.
At a meeting of general passenger
agents of railroads south of the Ohio
river in Chicago a few days ago to
discuss rates to the World’s fair, the
Plant system suggested that in ad
dition to the rate now in effect, tick
ets with fifteen days’ limit at one fare
for the round trip, and tickets with
thirty days’ limit at one-and-a-tbird
fare for the round trip should be put
on sale, but the only action taken was
an agreement to sell tickets at $5 less
than the present rate, with a limit of
fifteen days. The sale of these tick

system to-day.—Times-Union.

Georgia boy in the Constitution :
Down at the Houston Post build
ing, in a cozy sanctum, looking cool
and complacent, I found editor «lolm-
ex-Georgian, from llain-
bridge. He is a cousin to Congress
man Ben Russell aud a strip of all-
wool Democracy off the same bolt of
oods. He recalls his early journal
istic association with “Uncle Remus”
Harris on the Savannah News, and
asks affectionately after his old chum.
Editor Johnson has been in Texas
about fifteen years and has made
himself one of the chief factors in
the journalism and politics of the
State. There is a sort of Napoleonic
suggestion of success about his p!n(
ique and pose, and the prima facie*
prophesies are not belied by the
events of his career. He has made
the Post one of the first papers in
Texas. It is admirably served with
news, closely and vigorously edited
on the orthodox line, and is popular
with a widespread and daily growing
constituency. It was the Post that
stood up for Governor Hogg in the
last campaign--the only daily paper
in the State I believe that did so—
and it therefore was the only one
that could crow rooster on the morn
ing after the electoin. It was a wise
choice aud made the Post the recog
nized and trusted "organ of the regu
lar wing of the Democratic party in
in the State.
“Rienzie” Johnson is still remem
bered by many people in this section.
He was a bright, brainy young man
while living here and lie hits develop
ed into .oae of the leading men in
Texas. His South Georgia friends
have watched his onward and upward
course with pride and pleasure.
Ritnzt Johnson is a nephew of
Hon. Ben. E. Russell.

How «Ii»l He do it l
Here’s a tangle for the school boy
to unravel: “A man with a sack of
corn and a fox and goose wanted to
cross a river, but finding the boat so
small himself and corn were all it
could carry; the .difficulty then came
up as to how to arrange to cross.
To take the corn and leave the fox
and goose, the fox would eat tae
goose. To take the goose and leave
her and return for either the fox or
corn, neither of them would do to be
with the goose. But he finally took
all over, one at a time, without the
danger referred to. How did he do
it?”—Ex. '
