IT ALREADY OWNS A BIG SLICE And Besfrio file Central Would Glte the System a Direct Line to tho Sea. WUencres Predict tho Chance. Atlanta. Sept. 4.—(Special.)—A good dral of gueslp It gain* the rounds here In railroad circles Ho the effect tha't the Southern will next reach out and tuk< tn 'the Central. It is Said by some of the wlsttocres in the railroad world that the Central will he a part of the South ern, In fact if wdt actually In name, within the next month or two. In the same connection the South em is Shown up ns the one big cor poration that will awn or cntrol Just as effectually as If ft owned them all, lock, stock and barrel, every line run ntng out of Atlanta except the West ern and Atkin tic. Seaboard Air Line arid AMmsta. and Florida. Should the Southern take in the Cenltml this would In fact be the situation unless the gi gantic combination should meet the fate of its InmredCalte predecessor, the Richmond Terminal, -which attempted to consolidate the same lint s now down on 'the actual and prospective map of the Southern. iAs euocessor to the Ter minal, Ithfe Southern owns .42,000 of the 75,000 shares of the Central, which 1: can vote under proper regulations. This give the Southern control of i'he Cen tral. The Central In turn owns half interest in 'the lease of the Georgia, while the Georgia own Waif of the stock of. the Wet cm of Alabama, the Western being In control of the Aifin-ntu and West Point. Already tho Southern hun ifhe Richmond and Danville, the East Tennessee and Georgia Pacific without dispute. The Central is the key -to 'the situation, and ns such all eyee are turned upon ft, mwaWIn-g the next mbve of the Southern. COMPRESSED COTTON RATES. Atlanta, Sept. 4.—(Special.)—The rjK-roajd eom-mlslon todrvy began hear ing the case brought by the compreas- men against the railroads for a reduc tion of the ratte of freight .on com ipresed cotton. All she large compresses of tho state were represertted ut the meeting, as well as the trnfilo depot);, meb'ts of the railroads of the stake. King & Spalding of Altsmta. uppeured ns attorneys for the comprewwncn, and Messrs. WesaaloWskl nnd Howell also addressed -tho meeting in favor of the reduced rate.. Under tho present tariff there Is n< difference in tlhe rate on compressed and uncompressed cotton, although the oomprassed bale Is claimed to be much easier to handle In transit. Therefore, the compressmen (Want- a reduced ra estohlthed on the compressed bate. While the hearing today had noth ing a I; all to do with the action of th- railroads receutiy In cutting the rh ic on compressing cotton from 10 to 7 conks per hundred, yet the ertoe before the commission was the result of that action. This -wav the only way the omprossmen could retaliate. By get- tin's a tower rate on the pressed bale 'they would naturally deal cHrodtly wish Shippers, compressing for them rather than for the railroads ait the rate dictated by itfte latter. Should the oommtsnlon make (the reduced rate the compressmen will be Bible to maintain •the old rake by charging It from ship pers, while the effect will be to neu tralize the cult by which the railroads hoped to save 3 cenlts per hundred. After hearing tthe compresmen this -morning, the railroads asked n suspen sion of the hearing u.nkl-1 tomorrow so os to give -them time to confer this af ternoon. The compressmen feel confi dent that the railroads will be ready Ito make terms by tomorrow. The Southern is represented by Sol Haas, J. M. Gulp and A. G. Craig: tho Central by W. F. Slrellmnn and J. C. Haskell: the S., F. and W. by C. D. Owens; the Georgia by A. G. Jackon; 'the S. A. U. by A. Tope nnd the Boa- board Air Line by W. L. O'Dwyer and A. E. Woodall. Cunningham & Law- ton of Sivnnn'ah also appeared as u't- 'torn'eyo -for the Central. '• • \j • , From High Government Authority. No authority of greater experience on food products ex ists than Dr. Henry A. Mott, of New York. Dr. Mott’s wide experience as Government Chemist for the Indian Depart ment, gave him exceptional opportunities to acquaint himself with the qualities and constituent parts of baking powders. He understands thoroughly the comparative value of every brand in the market, and has from time to time expressed his opinion thereof. On a recent careful re-examination and analysis he finds Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder superior to all others in strength, purity, and efficiency. Dr. Mott writes:— “ New York, March roth, 1894. I find Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder to be superior to all others, for the following reasons :— 1st. It liberates the greatest amount of leavening gas and is consequently more efficient. 2nd. The ingredients used in its preparation are of the purest character. ' .. 3rd. Its keeping qualities are excellent. 4th. On account of the purity of tho materials and their relative proportions, Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder must he considered the acme of perfection as regards wholesomeness and efficiency, and I say this having in mind certificates I have given several years ago respecting two other baking powders. The reasons for tho change in my opinion are based on the above facts and the new method adopted to prevent your baking powder from caking and deteriorating in strength. Henry A. Mott, Ph. D., L. L.

Atlanta, Sept. 4.—(Special.)—A caw that was prolific of aentratlonal featured several years ago ha* been revived by the hearing; of the evidence In the suit for divorce of Mrs. Eliza-A. Mom, which Is now In progress In the supreme court. Nine years ago Mrs. Moss nnd her hus band, George iMoim. kerit a fashlonible millinery establishment on Peachtree street. One of the salesladies In their employ was a dashing grass widow from New York. Mrs. Lizzie Wheeler by name. While Mrs. (Mom, who Is a plucky lit tle woman, looked closely after the bus iness, which wan quite prosperous. It nppears that Moss and Mrs. Wheeler spent meet of their time looking after each other. Finally the explosion came. Mr. Mom and Mr?- Wheeler decamped together and have not been seen In this section since. Mrs. Moss remained to fight her lot out bravely. She began proceeding* for divorce, a* welt as taking steps to get control of a t least part of the prop erty.* poison Into her medicine, nnd falling In this endeavored to have her incarcer ated tn a lunatic asylum so that be and Mrs. Wheeler could have full sway. But In both these attacks she thwarted him and la the end forced him to decamp •with the festive grass widow.

C, Sept. 4.-The News and Courier will publish, tomorrow Its annual review of the trade und com merce of Charleston for.the commer cial year ending August 31. The year iia* been one of unprece dented trial, yet the report shows that Charleston has held Its own remarka bly well. The storm in August, lb93, laid uiute hundred* of mifles of terri tory dlrcetly tributary to thl* market and deprived Charle^ion of a rich and remunerative trade. The rice crops were almost totally desrroyed und tfl£ Sea I»Mnd cop:on crop was nearly all lost, and the turpentine forests were blown down for miles, and the river phosphate mining companies so badly damaged that they could not operate for more than half the year. The dis pensary liquor law drove u great deal of capital from the city and destroyed <a hitherto lucrative business. Tho storms in the state 1st year, and tho general depression of business through- out th ul'o atTV i« J th. ; trade of the ctfjr. But in spite of all thwe calamities and drawbacks, the trade of Charleston show* a falling off of only 33,500,000 as compared with the preced ing year. The aggregato vulue of tho business of the city Is more th ui $70,- 000,000. This, under the clrcnmstances, Is a splendid i*howlug. The prospects for the new year are full of encouragement. Tho completion of the Jetties makes Charleston one of the finest deep-water ports in the world and insures to this city a great Increase In Its foreign trade. Ships drawing *rwenty J .hree feet of water can cross the bar with *ufcty. The government work on the jetties has been most *uc- cwsftil, and dpt. V. R. Abbott, Ihe engineer in charge, says there is every reason to anticipate that the full depth of twenty-six feet contemplated by the project will be attained, with less ex penditure than the amount of the esti mate. During the year 1,073,000- cubic yards of matter have disappeared from be tween tho Jetties and the arena about their landward and seaward ends. Tills gain in waterway,or decrease of ob structing matter, ho adds, equals the whole amount that was gained from 1884 to 1SD3. The completion of thfc jet ties will lend In 'the near futuro to the establishment of direct steamship lines to Europe and to tho Improvement of the terminal facilities of the port. New cotton and exporting firms will do business hero this year, and It 1* ex pected that there will bo a large in crease In the cotton receipts of the port. Last year the cotton reoelpts exceeded those of the previous year by more than 100,000 baies. The News und Courier will also pub lish tomtrrow letters from its corre spondents in all parts of the state de scribing the condition o! the agricult ural and industrial Interests. These letter*, with very few exceptions, uro pleasingly monotonous In their state ment bf the better condition of the farmers and in attributing the cause to <the forced economy consequent on the disasters of the previous year and <ne increased (intention paid to toe cereal products, induced by. the low price of cotton. The same reasons have also led to moire attention being paid to the raising of hpgs and other live stock. If we are to accept tho concur rent testimony of m> many persons In so many varied localities, South Caro lina whs never so well prepared to supply i'ts own hog and hominy ns to day. In some parts of the «ta*te tho people are raising their horses and mules and cat'tte and supplying them selves with beef, butter and milk. In the upper *tler of counties, wheat and oats, as well as corn, are available as food. Tobacco, truck farmn :md or chards have also co-mo Into favor, nnd diversified farming nnd extensive culti vation have apparently come to South Carolina to stay.
