DREDGING OGMULEE
BEGINS NEXT WEEK
The work of opening up the Oomul-
gee preparatory to the formation of a
pathway to tbs ocean from Id aeon will
be begun next week and from then on
the work will be actively pushed for
ward until navigation will be possible
from Macon to the ocean.
Those who have doubted the possi
bility of such a navigation line will be
pleased to learn that the Governmental
boat Oconee Is due to report to Macon
on July 1 for the purpose of beginning
the work.
Already President Small of the
Chamber of Commerce has arranged
with the Macon and Brunswick Navi
gation Company for the construction
of two steamboats to be used on the
river. Within a couple of months
these boats are expected to be plough
ing the Ocmulgee furthering commerce

gia on to the coast.
The possibility of this' undertaking
to Macon and Middle Georgia can not
be underestimated as it will mean
better transportation facilities and
cheaper rates.

ARGUMENTS COMPLETED
IN THE 80UTHERN CASE
ASHEVILLE, N. C., June 27.—In the
railway rate suit of the Southern
against the North Carolina Corpora
tion Commission today Walker D.
Hinas finished his argument for the
Southern and Chief Counsel A. P.
Thom also spoke for the company. Mr.
Thom was followed by Judge Shepard
for the commission. The feature of
today’s proceedings was an attack by
the commission's counsel on Auditor
Plant’s affidavit in regard to the cost
of doing business in North Carolina
on the ground that the report showed
such cost to be greatly in excess of the
samp officer's report to the commission
before the people reduced the rate law.
The case closed with Judge Shepard’s
argument.
HURT! RAISED
130,00(1 FOR COLLEGE
VALDOSTA, June 27.—Valdosta’s
citizens today raised 230,000 In a few
minutes for the new State College, to
be established here, and a few others
guaranteed that the amount would be
raised to 250.000. Ex-State Senator
W.-st, who was a leading spirit In the
movement, telegraphed Governor Ter-,
rell this afternoon that a suitable site
of fifty aores had been secured and
that 280.080 would be added to the
amount. The site is located on the
Valdosta street car line, and Is high
rolling ground with splendid drainage
and admirably adapted to the purpose.
The street car company, of Which Col.
West Is a leading spirit, gave the
land and a subscription of 22.500. Mr.
George Him, gave $5,000 and a dozen
citizens gave from 2500 to 21.000 with
the promise to double the amount If
necessary. The trustees of the school,
the Governor, and others, stated that
they thought Valdosta ought to put
up forty or fifty thousand dollars for
It and the action today Is a response
to their suggestion. The site is worth
approximately 228.000.

The Canal Project.
To the Editor of The Telegraph: I
have read the interview of Senator
Bacon with deep Interest. It should
go far In arousing the Interest of the
80,000,090 people who will be directly
affected by the proposed canal to con
nect the Georgia coast with the Mis
sissippi river and jits tributaries.
One suggestion in the interview,
namely. "Of course the work of con
struction of the Panama canal will
during Its continuance make it more
difficult to Induce Congress to under
take this work.” While this is clearly
an argument which will ibe used, the
Senators states with great force the
Immeasurable Importance of the work
as an answer, and his belief that It can
be carried to a sucoessful issue if the
people are properly aroused.
Is not the very fact that the Pana
ma canal is in course of construction.
In the present emergent condition of
the transportation problem, a problem
growing more serious every day, an
argument which may be well used with
unanswerable logic In favor of the
quick construction of this canal? The
transportation problem Is now. In the
last decade of the nineteenth century
no such problem existed.
The railroads were reasonably keep
ing pace with the country’s growth.
Close students of the development of
the country here and there, notably
Hon. Richard H. Edmonds, of the Man
ufacturers' Record, Issued a note of
warning, but no one was being hurt
by want of transportation. But the
growth of freights 110 per cent, against
the growth of railroad mileage and fa
cilities but 20 per cent In ten years
have brought about “a condition, not a
theory."
Have taken the question of trans
portation out of the domain of aca
demic discussion Into a condition di
rectly affecting every man's business,
threatening many lines of business
with disaster unless a remedy Is found.
Tbe situation cannot be fully met by
the existing railroads, or by those in
course of construction, or by those
planned. The country must either call
a halt upon the wonderful prosperity
of the past ten years, or apply the
remedy. The people are already ap
plying the remedy by Increased ton
nage. Increased freights upon all our
navigable rivers and canals. New York
by quadrupling the capacity of her ca-
I nal system at an expense of 2101,-
000.080.
By the time the Panama canal Is
completed, opening up wider markets
for our surplus products, the increase
In freights will have demanded an
enormous increase of transportation
facilities, for why create surplus which
we cannot get to the coast and to the
ship?
To utHlse the Panama canal when
completed to the full extent of which
It is capable demands the utmost use
of our waterways, connection of them
where possible, demands this canal.
By the time the Panama canal Is com
pleted we will have over 90,000.000
people—possibly 95.000 000—a largely
increased army of freight creators.
The people can only realize in full
measure. It aeems to me. the benefits
fendly hoped for from the completion
of the Panama canal, by preparing for
It fully, ample additional Internal
transportation to handle all freight
with dlapauh.
I can oonueive of no possible expen
diture of money which will go as far
as this will go In preparing the coun
try for the great Increase of the com
merce of all our Southern porta, prop
erly anticipated from the completion of
the Isthmian canal, so far to relieve
the congestion of tragic in the sixteen
States directly affected.

Mrs. W. T. Clark, of 305 West Park
street, Rome, N. Y„ says: "I had gas
tritis. which brought on sinking spells
for about an hour every morning. I
was very weak and nervous and finally
was compelled to take to my bed. . My
Illness lasted about four months. For
about half the time I was confined to
my bed. I suffered greatly from the
stomach trouble and nervousness, but
what alarmed me most was the sink
ing feeling at tho heart.
"I had read about Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills, and when some of my friends
recommended the pills very highly, I
decided to give them a trial. I bought
one box and by the time this was used
up the sinking spells ceased. I felt
better, but continued taking the pills
until I had used twelve boxes. I stir
keep the pills In the house, for I be
lieve that they are a splendid medicine.
I always recommend Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills to my friends who are ailing,
for I know that they will do all that Is
claimed for them.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have cor
rected serious disorders of the stomach

OLD INDIAN MOUND
GIVES UP NEW RELICS
As the old mound in East Macon
which has stood so long as a monu
ment to ‘Indian persistency or to the
persistent efforts of some other race
of mould-builders. Is being dug into,
many relics of ancient customs are be^
ing unearthed.
The shovel of progress as it uncoveru
the 'hiding place of ancient diggers,
brings to light some new relics each
day. As yet It has not been ascertain
ed whether or not there are any skele
tons of ancient Inhabitant buried be
neath the mountain of mother earth,
but as the digging has only proceeded
through but a small corner of the
mound, students of antiques are ex'
peering some startling discoveries to
•be made as the mound is gradually
removed.
The sum total of the relics which
have been dug-out so far consists of
vases, axes, pottery and such impll-
ments of Indian life. The work Is still
progressing and the dirt is being re
moved so that within a few days other
relics may be brought to view.

Fruit Shipments,
BARNESVILLE, Ga.. June 26.—The
fruit growers of this community are
beginning to make shipments of
peaches, and so far the returns have
been very satisfactory. The outlook is
that the price realized will .be all that
the growers could expect. The crop of
peaches is going to be very short of
Elbertas and the early varieties. Mr.
V. O. Marshburn will bo the biggest
shipper from this vicinity, and it is
now predicted that he will get about
twenty cars, whereas ordinarily he
would ship about one hundred. A num
ber of growers have sold their crops on
the trees, getting a fancy price and
having already been paid in full. The
shipments thus far have been the early
varieties of peaches, which have gone
by express. The Elbertas will .be sev--

It is a miscarriage of justice. But is

MY DOG AND !.
From the Michigan Farmer.
When living seems but little worth
And all thincs go awry.
I close the door, we journey forth—
My dog and I!
For books and pens we leave behind,
But little careth he.
His one great loy ot life Is Just
To be with me.
He notes by just one upward glance
My mental attitude.
As on we go nast laughing stream
-And singing wood.
The soft winds have a magic touch
That brings to rare release.
The trees are vocal with delight.
The rivers sing of peace.
