and Old*
One week of the carnival closed last
night, a week badly interrupted by
rainy weather.
Whife the attendance has not al
ways been as liberal as seemed de
sirable, there has been no fault to
lind with the stadium. With almost a
unanimous vote the quality of the
show haa been indorsed.
In order to secure the exceedingly
high gTade of attractions, the man
agement has spared no reasonable ex
pense, and can at least have the sat
isfaction of know that every visitor
got his or her money’s worth. In
fact the excellence of the show have
been a subject of general remark in
the city, and among the visitors.
Last night there was a fair sized
crowd inside the stadium, and in many
ways the performance was the best
yet offered.
Program Enjoyed.
Troop H, Seventh Cavalry, proved as
entertaining as on former occasions,
and fully sustained its reputation ac
quired during the earlier engagements
of the week. Each man, and the
horses as well, did his part and the
drill was a thing of artistic skill. The
monkey drill, the attack on the men
entrenched behind their horses, and
the other features occupied forty min
utes.
The Blcketts, in their ladder act. and
the Indian juggler, proved acceptable,
and later the Blcketts won applause In
their casting act, as did Melville in
his trapeze specialties. Every per
former showed skill in his part.
q'he Stones, in their bicycle riding
within the iron globe, proved one of
the most interesting events of the per
formance, and though Stone and his
motor cycle only occupied a very few
minutes, the act was looked forward
to with Interest, even by those who
had seen It more than once.
Following this agt came the fire
works, which and exploded in
mid air, sending de*n showers of fiery
spray. This never-ending source of
delight was enjoyed. Bombs, rockets
and wheels were touched oft in pro
f"* n " Attractions on Pike,
The Pike had a good crowd last
right, including many who did not go
into the stadium, but remained out
side to take in the side shows and to
engage in confetti battles.
For more than three hours, both be
fore and after the adjournment of the
stadium performance, the streets were
thronged with gay revelers, who di
vided their time between the attrac
tions and taking turns around the
streets.
The confetti throwing was more gen
eral than on any previous night, and
was engaged in by young and old in
perfect good humor. No acts of row
dyism were committed, and .except to
eject a drunken man from the grounds,
the police were not called on for any
active duty.
As heretofore, the street car service
was good, the crowds being handled
on the A. and B. line and on the
Montgomery street line with dispatch.
As already announced, the carnival
will continue Monday, Tuesday and
■Wednesday, as the rain interfered with
the performance for three days. The
railroads have granted the same re
duced rates as prevailed the last week,
and will no doubt bring in many who
were kept away by the unfavorable
weather.

THE WORLD’S FAIR
AERIAL FLEET.
The Airship “Meteor” a Rival to the
“California Arrow.”
St. Louis, Nov. s.—The trial trip at.
the World’s Fair by the airship Meteor,
invented and built by T. C. Benbow,
of Columbus Montana, with the collab
oration of H. J. Wells, demonstrated
the dirigibility of the machine. Mr.
Benbow, propelled it in various direc
tions and at different angles, raising
and lowering it in the air several times,
and finally returning to the place of
starting.
The Benbow dirigible balloon is con
structed on entirely different principles
from the Baldwin, which had made
such a brilliantly successful flight on
the 25th. It is also much larger, the
cigar-shaped bag being seventy-four
feet long, and twenty-one and a half
feet in diameter, with a capacity of
14,000 cubic feet, and carrying a weight
of 900 pounds. Directly beneath the
central line of the gas-bag, and at
tached to its cords, is a horizontal spar,
about two-thirds as long as itself,
made of steel with the exception of
a short prolongation of bamboo aft to
which the rudder-post is attached.
From this rod is suspended the car pro
per, which is a framework of aluminum
sustained by steel rods and further
Strengthened with braces of piano
wire.
The car, which is prolonged fore and
aft into long beaks similar to and
parrallel, with the main spar, is di
vided into two compartments, the for
ward one containing a ten-horse pow
er Hercules gasoline engine, and the
other the rectangular wicker basket
in which the aeronaut stands. The
gasoline tank is in front of the basket
and is connected with the carburator
and engine by means of pipes run
ning beneath the basket. The engine
is kept cool by an ordinary electric
flan wheel attached immediately In
front of it.
The propelling apparatus is geared to
the engine by a broad leather belt, con
sists of two wheels, one on each side
of the car and at the exact center of
gravity of the whole apparatus. These
wheels are twelve feet in diameter, and
make eighty revolutions a minute.
Each is composed of four six-foot
blades or wings, made of canvas
stretched on bicycle tubing with piano
wire braces.
The wings are collapsible, and by an
ingenious mechanical devise are made
to close up at each revolution, remain
ing open just long enough to seize and
grasp the air, and presenting a mini
mum of resistance while returning to
the point of greatest efficiency. This
application to aerial navigation of the
principle governing the motions of the
human hands in swimming, and the
change of position of the vanes on the
feathers of birds during flight, is look
ed upon by Mr. Baldwin and other
aeronautic experts at the exposition as
of great and unquestionable value.
The operation of the wings may be
modified, by means of a crank placed
conveniently to the hand of the navi
gator, is such wise as to make the
vessel ascend or descend in the air at
will. While the vertical direction is
thus controlled by causing the opening
and closing of the wings to take place
at different points in their revolution,
the horizontal direction is governed by
means of a cord attached to a rectangu
lar rudder, eight feet by five, made of
canvas stretched on a bamboo frame.
A three-pronged anchor is swung
over a pulley at the bow. and Is let.
down by means of a hundred feet of
rope coiled at the side of the basket.
It is considered a special merit In this
form of airship that Is able to grad
ually rise or sink by means of the
very same power required for its pro
pulsion. „
The gas bag, as In the case of the
Baldwin balloons, Is of Japanese silk,
varnished with linseed oil and provid
ed with an automatic safety valve that
permits a little of the gas to escape
whenever the pressure becomes peril
ously great.
The working out of the plans for
this airship was begun twelve years
ago, while Mr. Benbow was leading
the life of a rancher on the great
steppes of the Kockles; but the actual
construction was not begun until May
1, 1903. It was finished In October
o'f the same year, and its efficiency was
proved by several short experimental
ascents before it was brought to St.
Louis. . .
Flights will henceforth be made fre
quently by both the Benbow and the
Baldwin airships, which have already
proven themselves capable of navigat
ing the highways of the air, and two
other aerial craft, as different as pos
sible both from eaoh other and from
either of these, will make their trial
ascents within two or three days.
These are the colossal French dirigible
balloon belonging to Hlppolyte Fran
cois, and the very remarkable man
power flying machine of A. L. Rey
nolds, to say nothing of several man
lifting kites and agroplanes.
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 6. 1904.
GREAT RESOURCES
OF TEN COUNTIES
TRAVERSED BY NEW ROAD.
PROSPECTS FOR SAVANNAH,
STATESBORO AND NORTHERN.
Projected Through Heart of Cotton
Ratalng Section With More Than
Double Number of Balea Per Mile
Than Average—Connecta With
Seven Railway Syalema and Fnr
niahea Closer Line To Seacoaat.
To Be Completed During 1006.
Figures showing the resources of
the counties to be traversed by the
new Savannah, Statesboro and North
ern Railroad, which has been project
ed through the efforts of Mr. Cecil
Gabbett, president of the Savannah
and Statesboro road, have been com
piled.
Especially in relation to the cotton
raising industry, is there a magnifi
cent showing made.
For the year 1902, which was the last
full cotton year before the present
year, the ten counties through which
the road will run produced 150,451 bales
of cotton, which was 11.95 per cent,
of the entire crop grown in the state
for that year.
For the entire state of Georgia the
average number of bales per mile pro
duced in 1902 was 249, while for the ten
counties through which the new road
is projected, there is an average of 600
bales per mile produced more than
double the average for the state.
Increase Cotton Business.
These figures are for the year 1902,
and when the data is at hand for the
year 1904 the number of bales pro
duced this season w'ill be found so
greatly increased that the number of
bales per mile will be considerably be
yond the mark for 1902.
In addition to the cotton crop, which
shows up to such advantage in the ten
counties to be traversed, there is a
large traffic in lumber, grain, fruits
and potatoes, all of which will provide
a steady and Increasing business for
the new road.
_The population of the ten counties is
173,271, with an area of 5,531 square
miles, this being 9.4 per cent., both of
population and area, of the state.
The proposed road is to be an ex
tension of the Savannah and States
boro road, extending from Savannah to
a point near Athens, a total distance
of over 3000 miles. A short line between
Atlanta, Athens and intermediate
points and the seacoast will be estab
li?he dby the new road.
Important Railway Connections.
Rarely does anew road have such
important railw'ay connections en route.
Seven separate lines of road will be
crossed or connected with. At Gar
field the Miilen Southern will be cross
ed; at Midville the Central of Georgia
and the Midville and Swainsboro; at
Louisville, the Louisville and Wadley;
near Stapleton, the Augusts. Northern;
at Thomson, the Georgia Railroad, con
necting near Athens with the Seaboard
Air Line.
It is expected that the new road will
be built and in operation during the
year 1905. With its completion Savan
nah will obtain many advantages,
chief among which will be a shorter
line to interior cities, which will give
an impetus to the wholesale trade, and
will also aid the city as a shipping port
by reducing freights.
Through Rich Counties.
The following table will be of Inter
est, there, of course, being a great In
crease in figures for 1904, Bulloch coun
ty alone having more than 20,000 bales:

WHAT SULPHUR DOES
For the Human Body In Health and
Disease.
The mention of sulphur will recall
to many of us the early days when
our mothers and grandmothers gave
us our daily dose of sulphur and mo
lasses every spring and fall.
It was the universal spring and fall
“blood purifier.” tonic and cure-all,
and mind you, this old-fashioned rem
edy was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a
large quantity had to be taken to get
any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con
centrated form, so that a single grain
Is far more effective than a table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and ex
periment have proven that the best
sulphur for medicinal use Is that ob
tained from Calcium (Calcium Sul
phide) and sold in drug stores under
(he name of Stuart’s Calcium Wafers.
They are small chocolate coated pel
lets and contain the active medicinal
principle of aulphur in a highly con
centrated, effective form.
Few people are aware of the value
of thta form of aulphur In restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor anrl
health; sulphur acts directly on the
liver, and excretory organs and puri
fies and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they Josed us with sulphur and mo
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary flow
ers of sulphur were often worse than
the disease and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparation
of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium
Wnfers is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kldnev troubles, and cure
constipation and purify the blood In a
way that often surplses patient and
physician alike.
Dr. R. M. Wilkins, while experi
menting with sulphur remedies soon
found thJKthe sulphur from Calcium
was supper to any other form. He
says: “For liver, kidney and blood
troubles, especially when resulting
from constipation or malaria, I have
been surprised at the results ob
tained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers.
In patients suffering from bolls and
pimples and even deep-seated oarbun
cles, I have repeatedly seen them dry
up and disappear In four or five days,
lenvlng the skin clear and smooth.
■ Although Stuart's Calcium Wafers Is
a proprietary article, and sold by
druggists, and for that reason tabooed
by many physicians, yet I know of
nothing so safe and reliable for con
stipation, liver and kidney troubles
and especially In all forms of skin dis
ease as this remedy.”
At any rate people who are tired of
pills, cathartics and so-called blood
r ‘purlflers" will find in Stuart's Cal
cium Wafers a far safer, more pal
atable and effective preparation.

PIKE ATTRACTIONS ARE
GROWING MORE POPULAR
Something About the Shows Behind the Smaller
Tents.
After a week In Savannah the Pike
attractions of the carnival have at
tained a degree of popularity very
gratifying to the managers.
Every show in the list has been
tried, and while some are of course
weaker than others, taken as a whole
they have been generally praised.
Some of the attractions, notably the
Volcano, proclaim the fact that any
one who thinks he has not received
his money’s worth pan get back his
coin.
During the afternoons there is a good
attendance, and last night and Friday,
night the havoc wrought In the re
ceipts by the extremely unfavorable
weather heretofore prevailing was
largely atoned for, the rain that night
proving a blessing for the side show's,
though it was bad on the stadium.
Nearly every show on the Pike 1s
suited for women and children and
convey interesting and Instructive les
sons.
The last show on the north side of
the Pike nearest the stadium enclos
ure Is the Volcano, being the depict
ing by electricity the eruption of Mt.
Pelee and the destruction of the city
of St. Pierre, on the Island of Mar
tinique.
The first picture Is the city as It
stood under the shadow of Mt. Pelee
on the day before May 8, 1902. Dark
ness comes on, and the lights shine
from the windows. Then the lights
are out and the city is slumbering.
Day breaks and the Inhabitants re
turn to their dally avocations on the
fatal morning. Suddenly the volcano
is In eruption and a hurricane of fiery
cinders Ignites the houses and a sub
stratum of gas which is said to have
accumulated over the city.
The final scene was that of the city
after the fire had swept over It. show
ing the ruined houses and the destruc
tion wrought.
Next to the Volcano Is Prince Nicoli,
the smallest living man. The Prince
is somewhat of a sport, and makes
love to all the good-looking girls. He
is always anxious to find out the po
litical leanings of the men, and un
less they are Democrats they don’t get
any handshake from the Prince. Nlcoll
is eighteen and a half inches high and
weighs sixteen pounds. He is 30 years
old and came from Russia about eight
months a so.
The diving children make a unique
and entertaining exhibition. Four chil
dren, the youngest 16 months old, give
exhibitions of diving from a high pole,
rowing a boat, and an act In which
the occupant of a boat turned over In
the little lake is rescued by the two
other children.
Darkness and Dawn is one
of the most weird showe on
the Pike, where bones and coffins
and skeletons play a conspicuous part.
A woman In a coffin turns to a skele
ton before the eyes of the audience. A
statue of Nlobe comes to life, and a
phantom rran serves Intangible re
freshment*. The whole show deals In
Illusions which are curious and ghostly.
A giant boa constrictor, twenty fset
long and weighing 230 pounds. King
Jumbo, is the oentral feature of a
group of snakes In an open box In
which they keeper walks. The boa
eats a sheep every three months. It.
has been stx weeks since the snake
was fed last. Besides the boa, there
ere two Asia pythons, one Inia boa,
one South America boa. tbs latter
fourteen feet long and weighing fifty-
eight pounds. King Jumbo Is said to
be over 500 years old. and was cap
tured by Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, the
owners of the show, in South Africa
The Did Plantation is a negro min
strel show, as its name indicates.
Coon songs and clog dancing are fea
tures of the entertainment. The us
ual minstrel “gags” are worked oft for
the amusement of the crowd.
By a series of moving pictures, a
robbery of the California express by
bandits is shown. Including the shoot
ing of one of the passengers. The
pursuit by the sheriff and the death
of the bandits is shown. Previous to
this feature there is a moving picture
story of a strike and the arrest and
freedom of a woman who defended her
husband.
Wonderful Asia Is a dancing
attraction, with three girls to
take part. The muscle dance is
given by each of the girls,
provoking applause from the
spectators. The attraction Is well
patronized by the men.
"Chequita,” the smallest horse In the
world, is one of the Instructive fea
utres of the Pike. Large crowds take
advantage of the small admission
charged to see one of the wonders of
the show. The little animal can be
held In one hand by the manager, and
is a playful, loving dumb brute.
A labryinth of passages, through
which the wind howls dolefully and
darkness reigns supreme, Is the occa
sion of much merriment to those who
go through the cave. Large parties
of sightseers going through together
get much fun out of the trip.
One of the instructive shows of the
Pike Is “A Day In The Alps.” A
miniature town, :wlth real houses and
a bridge, set In th* defiles of the Alps,
is shown. The show begins with dawn,
followed by full day, with people pass
ing over the bridge, and on the streets.
A storm comes on, followed by sunset
and the Alpine glow. This attrac
tion was at the World’s Fair at Chi
cago, the Atlanta Exposition and the
Tennessee Centennial.
The Dog and Pony show has proven
most amusing to the little folks, and
to the older people as well. The ani
mals are well trained and do a num
ber of pleasing feats. The efforts of
members of the crowd to ride a small
horse generally results In their get
ting thrown into the arena, amid the
laughter of the spectators.
Pink Domino Is a vltagraph story of
three men who went wrong. The story
is founded on real life, the three men
supposed to be represented being at
present In the Minnesota penitentiary
for bank robbery. The loss of money
through speculation Is pictured, and
the determination to loot o bank. They
are caught in the act and sent to
prison. The Holy City Is shown pre
liminary to Pink Domino.
Perhaps 'the most artistic show on the
Pike Is the skirt dancing of Atmce.
By means of two calcium lights with
prismatic colors varl-colored tints are
thrown on the extravagant costume of
Almee as she dances and weaves the
ample folds of her gown Into all kinds
of fantastic shapes. There is nothing
In <he exhibition to offend the most
fastidious and women and children
form the larger part of the vl*ltlng
crowd.
The razzle dazzle Is an attraction for
children, the peculiar motions of the
circular seats giving the effect of rid
ing the waves.
1 The merry-go-round does a Iprge
business near the entrance, white at
■the farther end le th* miniature rail
way. Along the middle of the Pike
are varlou* < onceeelons for th* eal*
of different articles and for the usual
rlng-pltotitng end ball-throwing con
tests .

PLUMBING.
THE BLOCK LIGHT. SINCE
the appearance of the Block
Light, less than two years ago, a prac
tical revolution has taken place In
lighting the home, store, office, fac
tory any every place where illumina
tion Is required. Over 2,000,000 Block
Lights have been sold within the past
year, all of them upon the absolute
guarantee that the Block Burner will
produce a much more brilliant and
beautiful light with less consumption
of gas than any other method.
No one can afford to disregard a
matter of such Importance and possi
ble expense as illumination, and when
you reflect that the Block Light will
increase your light and reduce your
monthly gas bills, you must see the
wisdom of a close investigation of our
claims. The National Plumbing Com
