THE KITH IBPBOTIEEkT
We note that Senator Clay baa In
traduerd a bill providing fir# hundred
thousand dollars for th* Improvement
of th# Havsnosh river between this
dtp and Savannah. Slits the war,
the Federal Government has done r#ry
little for the Bnvannah. comparatively
speaking, and that little has b*ea
doled out ta delblf*# and has been of
smalt value.
la other state# rompetltlre water
freight rate* bar# bad their effect on
the railroads, and we do ant doubt hot
what tbia has been the rase ta Geor
gia.
Shortly after th# war and before the
railroad* had gotten down to work
again, there were several lines oI
steamships plying between the two rlt
lea, and each line did a good bual
nesa
According to the report of th# engi
neer. the riser channel can be cleaned
out without any very great ex
pense.
In the engineer* report for 189* we
find that for the greater part of the
year the river below Augusta 1* navi
gable for ateamahtpa drawing fr«m
four to five feet of water, but during
low water seaaons there are shoals In
the upper part of the river with low
water depth of not more than three
feet.
Th# chief obatrurllona to navigation
consists of sandbars, overhanging
trees, snags ahd sunken log*. The
plan of Improvement provides for the
establishment of a navigable steam
boat channel five feet deep at ordina
ry summer low water between Augus
ta and Savannah. It was estimated
In 1890 that this project would requite
$332,000. and that $3,000 to $5,000
should be spent every year to keep
It up. r
Thu entire amount expended on this
pait of the river Improvement work
from 1880 to 1896 was $188,500. The to
tal amount expended under the noje
plan to June, 30. 1897, was SBI,OOO.
Urst year only about SI6OO was expen
ded. Since then, however, a number of
snags have become lodged In the river
and require removal. Since the war,
the river commerce tins increased at
the rate of $lO for every $1 expended
by the United States, and freight rates
have been reduced about twenty por
rent
The exports from the river valley are
mainly cotton, naval stores, lumber,
and wood, while the Imports are ferti
lizer#. camp and mill supplies, cotton
ties and bagging, and manufactured
articles.
Excluding logs, limber and cord
wood. the annual tonnage is estimated
at about 48,000 tons and Its value at
about $1,730,000.
POSSIBILITIES
We note that in his Charge to the
Grand Jury, Judge Emory Speer took
occasion to depart from the conven
tional last week, lit Macon, and gave
his views In that forceful and eloquent
manner for which he is so eminently
qualified, on the subject of our recent
acquisitions In the East, or more es
pecially on a possible future transfer
of the same to some other power.
Judge Speer says:
“We have but lately added to our
territory an empire In the West and
another In the East. The last enemy
of our institutions, who lagged super
fluous in this continent, has been driv
en from the last foot of soil in the

From Boston.
'The Omaha World-Herald #«y* that a
Boston gtrl, who recently witnessed an
Indian sham battle In the West,
thought she would try to talk to a
young Indian brave sitting next to
her.
"Heap much fight." she said.
Do smiled a stoical smile, drew hi*
blanket closer about his stalwart form
and replied;
• Yes; this Is, Indeed, a great expo
sition. and w# flatter ourselves that our
portion of the entertainment ts by no
means the least attraction here. May I

dressing?”
The dear girl from Boston was thun
derstruck. Bh* blushed a rosy red—even
Boston girls can blush when they thaw
out—and hastily fled. She had been ad
dressing one of the Carlisle Indian
school graduates.
Winnie Davis’ Cottage.
A Baltimore special of Tuesday
says:
■ Kev. Dr. H. M. Wharten, the evan
gelist of this city, proposes to erect on
hia XVhosover Farm at Luruy, Va.. a
cottage to be known as the Winnie Da
vis Cottage.
It is to be used for children of Con
federate soldiers, the first of whom, a
Richmond boy, Is now at the farm.
Dr. Wharton has received a letter
from Mrs. Davis, thanking him for the
offer to build the cottage and saying:
“I think Ood wilt bless this If only
to hold the memory' of my good and
noble child. C.eneral Gordon will lec
ture here In the Interest of the college
In the last night In the month."
Not a Success as a Pie Maker
in childhood days we played together;
I kept a store, she came'to buy;
Sometimes 1 was her little husband
And she would cook and make mud
pie.
Ah! that was long ago and many
A country have I wandered through;
Today she’s married to another
And settled down and happy, too.
Last night they had me In to dinner.
I ate a piece sf pie she'd made—
Shqgknows no more about pi# making
Than she did when we. ns children,
played.

N 1 long slora, a rartal" nserchsal. In
a certain city, advertised to **H an a
certain Paturday A certain lot 1 gr»-
certas at certain prt.ee My wife so*
(to and when the certsta day arrived,
ska went ta that certain ptae*. for tto
purpose of buying on* of lto*a certain
artlrlr*. But upon tmiulry #h* found
that ttot certain artlcl* waa oat and
had certainly been out all tto ab'te.
II was this way. They had adrertlaed
hams, wheresa I her wsre rallfornla
hams—ln 'dtor words, shoulders—and
that dUrtlncUoi ilioii!«l hmv+ h+*n «!»«-
llnetty and rlearly made la Ito ad My
w\ti hi* n#v#f forgiven ibe«i. and I
afraid she never will.
When people first began to adverila*.
they approached that duty with tremb
ling steps They didn't »*"' «' «»
said they were bragging. That a man
would praise himself was thought scan
dalous. There was a time when peopta
carried lh* notion of ta*t* and propri
ety to the client that Ijiey ahrank from
evn pralalng a fine horwe or tine hog
or line anything ei»# thal might belong
to themselve*. That *wt* beat left for
other people to do. But the old- r the
world got the more aelflsh If got. and
people learned more and more that ev
ery man was expected lo tote hi* own
xklltet. They saw plainer and plainer,
as the world got old and the Inhabi
tant* became more selfish, that every
man who got hts horn blowed wiould do
the blowing himself. Ho one here and
another there began to blow quite
timidly at first but this courage In
i reased. and with It, the blowing—and
blowing to see who can out blow the
other. It's all right now for a bualness
man to call th# attention of Ihe people
to his honesty, wealth, etc; all right
now for a business man to say his
things are better than other folks'
things. His prices lower, etc., etc.
The world changes and If people
would keep up they must change with
it.
There are a few men nf business who
yet hesitate to advertise. Notably, the
doctors, lawyers and a few others. But
time will ere long come when these
men will lie freed from what I deem
a false notion of taste, modesty and
propriety. *
I believe It's perfectly right—perfect
ly legitimate for all business men to
advertise. I believe that It s altogether
In keeping with good taste, good sense
and good judgment.
' More, I believe that it Is the Imper
ative duty of all men doing a business
that the public Is Interested In to keep
the public regularly informed of that
business.
Whsther It be practicing medicine
law—or school teaching—^or anything
else —let It be advertised—let the people
tic informed nr It. No man should per
mit a false notion of modesty to deter
him from doing something which would
be of incalculable financial benefit to
himself and a great help also to the
public.
I had a pale and puny child whom I
rarried to a certain doctor in this city
for treatment.
The doctor gave him a prescription
which worked almost a miracle In re
newing his system and bringing the
color back to his laded cheeks.
I asked the doctor to permit me the
use of his namp that I might connect
it with a published statement of the
ahoye facts.
I was anxious to have other pale chil
dren treated by him. The doctor de
murred upon the ground that it would
be in bad taste.
Nevertheless, I believe so good treat
ment should have wide publicity.
Advertising, you see. is for the good
of the public a« much as It is for the
good of the advertiser. And the more

! We see “Old Heb” In the Home Jour
nal vigorously opposes ihe building of a
bridge over Little river at RayavlUe
Ho say* such a bridge would benefit
ionty a few around Amity and a few
Thomson lawyer* coming to court. We
think "Old Itch" I* Imdly mistaken.
We believe tto bridge will directly
benefit about one-half of the people of
Lincoln county, and the other half will
be Indirectly benefited by allowing
these Thomson lawyer* to get over Into
the county.—McDuffie Enterprise.
An Obvious floral
The following advertisement from the
Mcivhrson (Kan.) Republican tells a
story with a moral so obvious that It
need hardly be pointed out:
"In the petition for divorce filed by
me. In tbo court of chancery at Spring
field, HI., X have made nsserttoins con
cerning mv wife which I have since
learned are false and were the work of
busy bodies In whom I put confidence.
| I hereby mukt a retraction of nit I am
reported to have said derogatory to her
character. I cheerfully make this state
ment in order to exonerate her friun all
blame. The petitions for divorce have
been withdrawn by both parties and a
settlement amicably arranged. Geo.
W. Broughton.”
Spain's Twenty Millions.
What'll we do with this money of
ours—
Money we scarcely expected?
No one will hint that we've wasted the
hours
Nor the country's finances neglected.
\
Shall we devote It to powder and shot.
And talk about fierceness and
slaughter.
Buying ships to be added no doubt to
our lot
Of scrap iron under salt water?
Shall we stimulate pride, and still sneer
at the rules
By which the world makes its pro
gression ?
Or shall we hire teachers and open up
schools.
And try to be in tha procession?
