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.

A warm game of baseball was played at

noon. The teams of the Savannah Infan

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."

also in the collection an ancient Bible

Greek in the University of Wbtenberg in

and Luther there was the most touching
friendship. This Bible is accompanied by
Luther's translation of the Psalms, pub

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. This * C\

and it was jemarkable XOC79;
what a wonderful effect
