ERWIN IS STILL RETICENT. EfL HES TO DISCI 9S THE VICE phesidbscy of plaxt system. EM ,eote<l That tie President of the S v.tem Will heave Savannah To jaj—He Spent Yesterday After on in Consultation With Mr. Knott—Belief General That Mr. T. K Scott Will Mot Sneceed to the Vice Presidency, bnt That He Has Declined— Rumor Xon Has It That , )r ( ceil Gnbhett Who Is Reported Have Real*ned From the Sea board. May Re the Man. president R. G. Erwin of the Plant Sys tcnl returned yesterday morning from jj -isonvllle, where he had been spending (ilsi lwo days. When seen by a Morn \vws reporter Mr. Erwin stated that , t * was not yet in a position to give out information as to Vice President Knott's successor. Mr Erwin, it is believed, will leave Sa vannah for New York some lime to-day. M h en asked this question, however, he caied that he, had not determined definite ly just when he would leave. The afternoon was-spent by Mr. Erwin in close consultation with Mr. Knott, and it is probable that the questions of Mr. Knott ' resignation from the vice presi dency and his successor were among those discussed. From the fact that the president of the Fiant System has given out nothing con firmatory of the report that Mr. Thomas K Scott, at present general manager of the Georgia Railroad, would succeed the present vice president, it is believed that this may not be the case. There seems 111- ,le rear n to doubt that Mr. Scott was offered the position, but it evidently was not made sufficiently attractive to induce him to accept it. For the last day or two rumor has cou pled the name of Mr. Cecil Gabbeit, for n rlv vice president and general mana ge of the Georgia and Alabama and now superintendent of the fourth division of {he s aboard Air Line, with the vice pres idency of the Plant System. It was stated on the sireets yesterday that Mr., Gab bett had resigned his office with the Sea board. and this statement also came in over the wire3 from points along the line of the Georgia and Alabama. Mr. Gabbett, however, was in Portsmouth, the head quarters of the Seaboard, and could not be seen If it be true that he has resigned from the Seaboard the other rumor, to the ef fect that he is to become vice president of ihe Plant System, is to some extent confirmed. It is believed that the devel opments of the next few days will re jnovt the veil of secrecy that has shroud ed the affairs of the Plant System and that President Erwin, or some other of its officers, will be in a position to give to the public the information about Mr. Knott, his resignation, his future move ments and his successor that it is curious to learn. Mr. Gabbett, whom rumor connects per sistently with the vice presidency. Is an aid railroad man, and too well known in S.ivannah to make a record of his past railroad history necessary. His personal and business frineds here are very nu merous. and they would be gratified to see him in charge of the traffic and operating departments of the Plant System. The Seaboard Air Line will run an ex cursion to Jacksonville and return on Sun day The excursion train will leave the Central depot at 5:08 o'clock in the morn ire The tickets that will be sold will be good if presented at any time within three days. The Seaboard expects that its ex cursion will be one of the largest it has handled this season. The fare is $2 for the round trip. Mr. It. O. Middlemas, traveling auditor of the fourth division of the Seaboard Air Line, was in the city yesterday. BEFORE THE RECORDER. Albert ralhonn Hart the Option of S2X Fine or rltainKfllig.

A large and enthusiastic crowd did some admirable rooting. The Mongoose and Snake Bite. From Nature. An official report by C apt. R. H. Elliott, upon his researches into the nature and action of snake venom, is referred to ;n the Madras Mail. Capt. Ellio-t confirms the fact that the mongoose is not immune in the fullest sense of the expression, seeing that L may succumb to a snake bite, if sufficiently severe, like any other animal. Hi* researches go to show, how ever, that the mongoose does enjoy a par tial and comparative immunity from snok' poison—that is to say. mongoose takes from ten to twenty-five minutes as much cobra venom to kill it as a rabbit does, end five to twelve time* as much as a dog. M. Calmette gives a somewhat lower estimate then this; but he mad* I only a few experiments, and it fc* note worthy that the mongoose that he experi mented with were obtained from Guada ! loupe, where venomous snakes are un ; known The mongoose was introduced i into Guadeloupe (and Barbados! some 1 twenty4ftve years ego with a view to the ! destruction of rats Capt. Elliot thereup on remarks: , “We are thus led to the i interesting conclusion that the Infroduc l tion of the mongoose into a country in wriioh venomous snakes are unknown has , resulted, in so short a period as a quarter | of a century, in a very appreciable re | Auction of the animal’s resistance to snake venom Thi* fact points strongly *o trie further conclusion that the immunity Is an acquired one. and inasmuch as the acquired characteristic ho* b*-*n so rap* d,y and easily diminished. It would ap pear likely that if must re maintained from generation to generation. Be it re membered that a quarter of a century probably means about fifty generations." -Ex-Gov.

If iBY CANCER Sufferers Horn this horrible malady nearly always inherit it not necessarily from the parents, but may be from some remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs through several generations. This deadly poison may lay dormant in the blood for years, or until you reach middle life, then the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap pearance — or a swollen gland in the breast, or some other part of the body, gives the first warning. To curt* Cancer thoroughly and perma nently all the poisonous virus must be eliminated from the blood—every vestage of it driven out. This 8. 8. 8. does, and is the only medicine that can reach deep seated, obstinate blood troubles like this. When all the poison has been forced out of the system the Cancer heals, and the disease never returns. Cancer begin soften in n small way, as the following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows : A small pimple came on tnr law about on inch below the ear on the left side of my face. It gave me no pain or inconven einoe, and I should have forgotten aU*\it it had it ZMggC notoegun to inflame and itch ; it would bWd t\ little, then scab over, but VB would not heal.
