IT ALREADY OWNS A BIG SLICE
And Besfrio file Central Would Glte the
System a Direct Line to tho Sea.
WUencres Predict tho
Chance.
Atlanta. Sept. 4.—(Special.)—A good
dral of gueslp It gain* the rounds here
In railroad circles Ho the effect tha't the
Southern will next reach out and tuk<
tn 'the Central. It is Said by some of
the wlsttocres in the railroad world that
the Central will he a part of the South
ern, In fact if wdt actually In name,
within the next month or two.
In the same connection the South
em is Shown up ns the one big cor
poration that will awn or cntrol Just
as effectually as If ft owned them all,
lock, stock and barrel, every line run
ntng out of Atlanta except the West
ern and Atkin tic. Seaboard Air Line
arid AMmsta. and Florida. Should the
Southern take in the Cenltml this would
In fact be the situation unless the gi
gantic combination should meet the
fate of its InmredCalte predecessor, the
Richmond Terminal, -which attempted
to consolidate the same lint s now down
on 'the actual and prospective map of
the Southern. iAs euocessor to the Ter
minal, Ithfe Southern owns .42,000 of the
75,000 shares of the Central, which 1:
can vote under proper regulations. This
give the Southern control of i'he Cen
tral. The Central In turn owns half
interest in 'the lease of the Georgia,
while the Georgia own Waif of the
stock of. the Wet cm of Alabama, the
Western being In control of the Aifin-ntu
and West Point. Already tho Southern
hun ifhe Richmond and Danville, the
East Tennessee and Georgia Pacific
without dispute. The Central is the
key -to 'the situation, and ns such all
eyee are turned upon ft, mwaWIn-g the
next mbve of the Southern.
COMPRESSED COTTON RATES.
Atlanta, Sept. 4.—(Special.)—The
rjK-roajd eom-mlslon todrvy began hear
ing the case brought by the compreas-
men against the railroads for a reduc
tion of the ratte of freight .on com
ipresed cotton. All she large compresses
of tho state were represertted ut the
meeting, as well as the trnfilo depot);,
meb'ts of the railroads of the stake.
King & Spalding of Altsmta. uppeured
ns attorneys for the comprewwncn, and
Messrs. WesaaloWskl nnd Howell also
addressed -tho meeting in favor of the
reduced rate..
Under tho present tariff there Is n<
difference in tlhe rate on compressed
and uncompressed cotton, although the
oomprassed bale Is claimed to be much
easier to handle In transit. Therefore,
the compressmen (Want- a reduced ra
estohlthed on the compressed bate.
While the hearing today had noth
ing a I; all to do with the action of th-
railroads receutiy In cutting the rh ic
on compressing cotton from 10 to 7
conks per hundred, yet the ertoe before
the commission was the result of that
action. This -wav the only way the
omprossmen could retaliate. By get-
tin's a tower rate on the pressed bale
'they would naturally deal cHrodtly
wish Shippers, compressing for them
rather than for the railroads ait the
rate dictated by itfte latter. Should the
oommtsnlon make (the reduced rate the
compressmen will be Bible to maintain
•the old rake by charging It from ship
pers, while the effect will be to neu
tralize the cult by which the railroads
hoped to save 3 cenlts per hundred.
After hearing tthe compresmen this
-morning, the railroads asked n suspen
sion of the hearing u.nkl-1 tomorrow so
os to give -them time to confer this af
ternoon. The compressmen feel confi
dent that the railroads will be ready
Ito make terms by tomorrow.

From
High Government Authority.
No authority of greater experience on food products ex
ists than Dr. Henry A. Mott, of New York. Dr. Mott’s wide
experience as Government Chemist for the Indian Depart
ment, gave him exceptional opportunities to acquaint himself
with the qualities and constituent parts of baking powders.
He understands thoroughly the comparative value of every
brand in the market, and has from time to time expressed
his opinion thereof. On a recent careful re-examination and
analysis he finds
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder
superior to all others in strength, purity, and efficiency. Dr.
Mott writes:—
“ New York, March roth, 1894.
I find Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder to be superior
to all others, for the following reasons :—
1st. It liberates the greatest amount of leavening gas
and is consequently more efficient.
2nd. The ingredients used in its preparation are of the
purest character. ' ..
3rd. Its keeping qualities are excellent.
4th. On account of the purity of tho materials and their
relative proportions, Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder must
he considered the acme of perfection as regards wholesomeness
and efficiency, and I say this having in mind certificates I
have given several years ago respecting two other baking
powders.
The reasons for tho change in my opinion are based on
the above facts and the new method adopted to prevent your
baking powder from caking and deteriorating in strength.

TT -SMACKS OF SENSATION.
Atlanta, Sept. 4.—(Special.)—A caw
that was prolific of aentratlonal featured
several years ago ha* been revived by
the hearing; of the evidence In the suit
for divorce of Mrs. Eliza-A. Mom, which
Is now In progress In the supreme
court.
Nine years ago Mrs. Moss nnd her hus

employ was a dashing grass widow
from New York. Mrs. Lizzie Wheeler

While Mrs. (Mom, who Is a plucky lit
tle woman, looked closely after the bus
iness, which wan quite prosperous. It
nppears that Moss and Mrs. Wheeler
spent meet of their time looking after
each other.
Finally the explosion came. Mr. Mom
and Mr?- Wheeler decamped together
and have not been seen In this section
since. Mrs. Moss remained to fight her
lot out bravely. She began proceeding*
for divorce, a* welt as taking steps to

and la the end forced him to decamp

CaiARLDSTON'S TRADE REVIEW.
There Was a Small Falling Off, as
Compared with last Year’s Trade.
Charleston, S. C, Sept. 4.-The News
and Courier will publish, tomorrow Its
annual review of the trade und com
merce of Charleston for.the commer
cial year ending August 31.
The year iia* been one of unprece
dented trial, yet the report shows that
Charleston has held Its own remarka
bly well. The storm in August, lb93,
laid uiute hundred* of mifles of terri
tory dlrcetly tributary to thl* market
and deprived Charle^ion of a rich and
remunerative trade. The rice crops
were almost totally desrroyed und tfl£
Sea I»Mnd cop:on crop was nearly all
lost, and the turpentine forests were
blown down for miles, and the river
phosphate mining companies so badly
damaged that they could not operate
for more than half the year. The dis
pensary liquor law drove u great deal
of capital from the city and destroyed
<a hitherto lucrative business. Tho
storms in the state 1st year, and tho
general depression of business through-
out th ul'o atTV i« J th. ; trade
of the ctfjr. But in spite of all thwe
calamities and drawbacks, the trade of
Charleston show* a falling off of only
33,500,000 as compared with the preced
ing year. The aggregato vulue of tho
business of the city Is more th ui $70,-
000,000. This, under the clrcnmstances,
Is a splendid i*howlug.
The prospects for the new year are
full of encouragement. Tho completion
of the Jetties makes Charleston one of
the finest deep-water ports in the world
and insures to this city a great Increase
In Its foreign trade. Ships drawing
*rwenty J .hree feet of water can cross
the bar with *ufcty. The government
work on the jetties has been most *uc-
cwsftil, and dpt. V. R. Abbott, Ihe
engineer in charge, says there is every
reason to anticipate that the full depth
of twenty-six feet contemplated by the
project will be attained, with less ex
penditure than the amount of the esti
mate.
During the year 1,073,000- cubic yards
of matter have disappeared from be
tween tho Jetties and the arena about
their landward and seaward ends. Tills
gain in waterway,or decrease of ob
structing matter, ho adds, equals the
whole amount that was gained from
1884 to 1SD3. The completion of thfc jet
ties will lend In 'the near futuro to the
establishment of direct steamship lines
to Europe and to tho Improvement of
the terminal facilities of the port.
New cotton and exporting firms will
do business hero this year, and It 1* ex
pected that there will bo a large in
crease In the cotton receipts of the port.
Last year the cotton reoelpts exceeded
those of the previous year by more
than 100,000 baies.
The News und Courier will also pub
lish tomtrrow letters from its corre
spondents in all parts of the state de
scribing the condition o! the agricult
ural and industrial Interests. These
letter*, with very few exceptions, uro
pleasingly monotonous In their state
ment bf the better condition of the
farmers and in attributing the cause
to <the forced economy consequent on
the disasters of the previous year and
<ne increased (intention paid to toe
cereal products, induced by. the low
price of cotton. The same reasons have
also led to moire attention being paid
to the raising of hpgs and other live
stock. If we are to accept tho concur
rent testimony of m> many persons In
so many varied localities, South Caro
lina whs never so well prepared to
supply i'ts own hog and hominy ns to
day. In some parts of the «ta*te tho
people are raising their horses and
mules and cat'tte and supplying them
selves with beef, butter and milk. In
the upper *tler of counties, wheat and
oats, as well as corn, are available as
food. Tobacco, truck farmn :md or
chards have also co-mo Into favor, nnd
diversified farming nnd extensive culti
vation have apparently come to South
Carolina to stay.
