Reas surance conies from the weather bu reau office. Instead of rising, the river Is actually going down. At 8 o'cloo!/ Saturday morning the gauge showed IS feet, a fall of‘about 6 feet In 24 hours, and at 2 o’clock p. m. the water had gone down to 17 feet. It Is learned that in many sections of the city rumors of a flood were spread aborad today. In “Shake-rag,” a grocer was actually raising his goods Saturday morning. He sent word through the neighborhood that he feared a flood and was "raising his goods.” A wit remarked that he probably referred to the price of cor ner groceries. Observer Fisher has heard nothing from his minor prophets up the river, and no news from them is good news, as they have instructions to send no precipitation measurements until at least one inch of rain falls. Up to date not a single bulletin has been received, which would Imply that while rains may have fallen over a wide area of up-river territory, the precipitation was nowhere heavy. Even the slight rains that did fall will not have any effect on the height of the river until Sunday afternoon some time.

Fißulsirai • AEERin STABLE Walker Evans, of Hephzi l>ah, Suffered Loss of Barn and its Contents. Incen diarism Suspected. The bam and stables of Walker Evans, one of the most reliable ne gro citizens of Hephzibah, was total ly destroyed, together with most of its contents, about 3 o’clock Saturday morning by fire that is thought to have been of incendiary origin. The loss was about S7OO, with insurance. Evans lives just on the outskirts of town. The fire was well under way J when discovered, and its progress never checked. About 1,000 bundles ! (Of fodder, 250 bushels of corn, 3001 pounds of nay, a splendid horse, a j new buggy and miscellaneous farm ing implements were burned. The negro’s loss was much greater than the value of his goods would in dicate, as the produce contained in the barn represented practically all he laid in store for his horse until another yield. He had only bought the horse recently, and just finished paying the debt. He Is regarded by all the white citizens of the town as an humble, hard working, well mean ing negro, and everything will be done to tide him over his ill fortune. ♦ WEST END NOTES. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦(■♦♦44444 4444« Mr. C.

ERIE RAILROAD CO. WILL ISSUE BONDS ALBANY, N. Y.—The public ser vice commission of the second dis trict, has granted the application of the Erie Railroad Co., for the author ity to issue $30,000,000 par value col lateral trust five per cent, gold bonds, maturing in thirty years. RAILROADS FARE WELL UNDER GEORGIA “REFORM” POLICIES (Continued from Page 1.) expenses of $158,759.70. Without Eome reason for this increase of op erating expenses at a time when all roads were economizing, it may fair ly be attributed to changes In book keeping rather than to real losses. "The other railroads which showed loss of net earnings are partly lo cated in portions of the state which indicate dependence to a consider able extent upon the transportation of lumber and turpentine. "The lessened use of these com modities in other parts of the United States, due to the effect of the panic In those states, to a large extent ac counts for the shrinkage of business with these roads. It is also true that the A. B. & A. railroad cut somewhat into their business. “In spite of the fact that the year i ending July Ist. 1908, was the year of the panic when all business was more or less affected throughout *h 1 entire country, the eight railroads to which I have called attention show as a whole only a loss of net profits in Georgia amounting to slightly more than one and one-half per cent, when compared to their net profits lor 1907. "Reports to the interstate com merce commission show that (he rail roads of the United States as a whole i SATURDAY, FEB. It*. Wants stake events and they served their stage apprenticeship in the famoils char" iot race in “Ben Hur.” One of them is named “Erlanger,” after the head of the theatrical syndicate. At the word of command the horses, caparisoned in flowing white robes and bearing their Ku Klux Klan riders, dash across the stage at full gallop to the rescue of the Camerons in the third act. “The Clansman” will be #?en at the Grand tonight. Seats now selling. Prices 25c to $1.50. NEXT SATURDAY, MATINEE AND NIGHT, “THE HON EYMOON ERS." George M. Cohan's big musical whirl wind, “The Honeymooners,” is booked to appear at the Grand next Saturday, matinee and night. “The Honeymoon ers” will be presented here in the same manner as it was in New York, where it enjoyed one of the most successful runs of the season. Of Mr. Cohan’s success and of which there are many, there has always been a great amount of care taken in select ing the choruses, but with “The Hoon eymoners” Mr. Cohan has one of the best looking and best drilled choruses that he has ever yet given us. S*.'Yts ready next Thursday. lost in net profits fifteen per cent in 1908 as compared* with 1907. “The eight Georgia railroads I have mentioned had a decrease in the percentage of net profits only one-tenth as large as the decrease of the railroads of the entire country. RECEIPTS NEARLY THIRTY MILLIONS. “These eight railroads collected from the people of Georgia during the year of the panic $29,847,480, and made net profits amounting to $6,- 868,243.13. “The facts did not justify the com plaint. With a loss of only one and one-half per cent, of net income, the railroads named stood the panic In Georgia ten times as well as the rail roads stood it in the country as a whole. Railroads are valuable for the pur pose of furnishing means of trans portation for persons and commodi ties. The extent of the value of the service to the public depends upon the kind of service rendered and the reasonableness of the rates charged for the service. "Railroad companies should receive fair treatment, but state supervision and regulation are necessary that the public may receive fair treatment. “The people of Georgia cannot af ford to permit the present policy of railroad regulation and supervision to be abandoned. "Since I prepared the foregoing fig ures the report of the Seaboard Air Line railroad has been received. Al though in the hands of a receiver, it shows a loss of net profits of only a little more than three per cent." N. L. WILLET SEED GO. AUGUSTA, GA. OUR DEPARTMENTS.
