WILL WE GET IT.
It it said now that there is lit
tle doubt that the Charleston, Au
gusta and Chattanooga Air Line
Railway will be built. A large
party of capitalists who are inter
ested in the new line were in At
lanta this week and from informa
tion given out by them it appears
that the road will be built as soon
as it is possible to do so. "
The proposed line will rum from
Charleston, S. C., to Augusta,
through Athens, Gainesville, Dal
ton and into Chattanooga. I
will be one of the most impor
tant lifaes of railway in the south,
connecting at Chattanooga with
the great trunk lines of the west
and at Charleston with the steam-
ship lines of the Atlantic. It’s
value to Gainesville cannot be es
timated, as ii will give to the city
competitive freight rates. and de
velops a section of the state
heretofore untouched.
The Atlanta Constitution, m
speaking of the proposed new line,
‘says:
The gentlemen who are at the
head of this project mean to push
if to completion at a very early
date. The contract for the con
struction of the line between Au
gusta and Charleston has already
boen let. Three million dollars
has been set aside for this purpose
and work will begin at once. The
surveys have already been made
and a great part of the right of
way secured.
The road is being financiered
by a company which is entirely
distinct from the Seaboard Air
Line Railway Company, but it^ is
believed that the new line will be
run in the^nterest of the Sea
board and finally controlled by it.
The line between Athens, An- 1
gusta and Charleston has been un«
der consideration fox sever#! years
und for some time it has been dis
played on the Seaboards maps.
~The company at the'headof it has* 5
now decided to begin construct- -
ion in the immediate future and it
is quite probable that in a few
^months’ time the work will be well
underway. *

Quillian Bros. Bay Warehouse.
Thursday morning, Mr. T. P. Hudson
sold his warehouse, on the comer of
Spring and Maple streets, to Messrs
George and Turner Quillian for $2600
The lot upon which this warehouse
stands is 41x193 feet. Quillian Bros,
will erect a three-story brick buijding
upon the front end of the lot to run
back on Maple street 100 feet. A two-
story building will be erected to run
back 50 feet, and a. one-story building
put up to run back 43 feet. All but
the last 43 feet will be used as a whole
sale grocery store, and the one-story
building is to be used for a mule pen.
This deal is an important one, as it
not only means the erection ot a hand
some new building near the .center of
the city, bnt also the establishment of
a large whole-sale grocery house. Quil-
ilan Bros., are hustlers and the people
of this city welcome the investment of
some of their money here.

Judges of Their Fine Points Few
and Far Between.
The judges of good cigars in this
country are few and far between, says
an expert The great difficulty with'
ihe people who think they know cigars
is that they lay too much stress on the
color of the weed. The color makes not
the slightest difference, and you are
just as likely to find one of the rankest
kind of cigars with the deep black col-*
or of the genuine Havana as you are
to find a bad one apiong those that are
yellow as straw. V : i
The best way to tell a cigar is. by j
the feel of it. Take a cigar in your
hands and give it a gentle'pressure,
holding It close to the ear. If the cigar
is a good one, it will be Just the least
little bit flexible, and the 'fingers will
sink into the wrapper. It gives forth
no perceptible sound. If the.cigar is*!
hard and close rolled and when placed J
to the ear sqpnds as though you were
pressing straw together, beware. TheJ
best cigars are made of the same leaf ?
as the wrapper and are closely rolled, j
The common cigars are what is knbwn j
as filled and contain all kinds of refuse
from the tables where the good cigars
are made. There are some filled cigars I
that are good smokes, but you seldom ]
find a Havana or a Manila or good Gu-
; ban or Key West sinpke that is not ]
rolled. Many people who go into a ci-1
gar store to get an imported smoke do 1
not follow up the salesman when he I
-takes the cigars from the ease and are J
consequently-often fooled. They are]
given domestic brands and are charg
ed imported: juices, for them. , : j
These “good cigar judges” cannot
tell the difference when there is all
. the .difference in the world. If you must i
have an imported smoke, make the
clerk hand you the box atfd look close- ]
ly at the revenue stamp. The stamps ]
on domestic goods are green and white, ! {
while those on the imported boxes are 1
all yellow and white. Book -into the ]
next cigar cases you see before pur- p
chasing an imported cigar. If they! ^
have no boxes in the case to which is 3
attached a yellow and white stamp. ^
don’t attempt to make a purchase. The 11
clerk will sell you a cigar lie calls im-. £
ported, but it will not be the real ar- i t
tide.—Washington Post.
