| Scarcity of Corn in Savannah |
| The Republican says
that many poor people in Savannah -- women and children -- are
suffering for want of food, and that they cannot get enough of corn
meal, owing to the fact that railroad transportation is monopolized by
the government; and urges that the government appoint one day in each
week when the railroads will be permitted to bring corn and other
produce to the suffering people. |
