A NARROW ESCAPE.
Collision at Night With a Telegraph
Wire-Dr. Failigant’s Hairbreadth
Escape from a Horrible Death.
Last evening a little after dark, as Dr.
L. A. Falligant was driving along West
Broad street, in frontof the Central Rail
road oiliee, corner of AA’est Broad and
McDonough streets, his horse ran into a
telegraph wire which was suspended near
the ground, but which it was impossible
for him to see on account of the darkness.
Just as the accident occurred several of
the men at work on the wires made a
sudden grab for it and lifted it over the
horse’s head, the horse and buggy still
going forward.
“Just at this moment,” says the doctor,
“as 1 felt my horse’s speed partially ar
rested. it occurred to me that we might lie
in collision with a telegraph wire, and
that as it was raised over the horse, or
swung over in part, it would necessarily
catch my buggy top about the level of my
breast. Instantly I felt the top being
jerked back and a pressure within an
inch of the crest of my left shoulder. As
quick as a flash 1 bent my head to the
right and backwards, at the same time
pulling in niv horse by the reins with all
my strength. At the same moment I felt
the wire jerk across mv face, robbing the
skin over iny left eye just below the
eyebrow, and whipping my hat off my
head. If I had not bent my head
over at the verv moment I did, the wire
would have .-night my throat and most
likely severeu mv head from my neck.
“Mv driver’s escape was almost as nar
row. Ho had lient forward to catch the
reins and aid in stopping my horse when
the wire w hipped across the top of his
head, whirling his hat into the back of the
buggy top, which had teen pulled down
and broken in pieces. By the time 1 could
fairlv get a good breath, I thanked the
Lord* I was still alive, and that my eye
was not cut out of my head.
“1 have not been able yet to ascertain
how much damage was done to the buggy
beyond tearing and breaking the top, or
whether my horse was cut by the wire.
-1 feel It my duty to censure very se
verely the employes of the_ Telegraph
Company for doing work of this character
after it becomes too dark tor persons driv
ing along the street to even see the wire
at all.”
DANK ELECTIONS.

TIIK SKff VKAH 1884.
lloiv the Old Year was Watched Out
and the New Tear lit.
New Year’s eve was a remarkably quiet
one in Savannah, and the departure of the
old year, issa, was attended with very
little demonstration A few fireworks
were discharged in the southern portion
of the city, and the colored people were ju
bilant in anticipation of to-day’s celebra
tion, but with that exception there was no
public observance. In the Methodist
Churches watch night services were held,
and the death of the old year was solemnly
awaited until the city clocks struck 12,
when the birth of the New Year was an
nounced and the watchers dispersed. So
cially the evening was perhaps more gen
erally observed than in any other way.
There were numerous gatherings in vari
ous parts ofthe city. The ball of the “H. S.
S.” Club at St. Andrew’s Ilall was well
attended, and was a very pleasant and
successful affair. At Aniory Hall a pri
vate party in “phantom” costume, danced
the old year out and the new year in.
At a late hour the streets were quiet and
free from disturbances. There was a
marked absence of disorder and only a few
arrests were reported at the barracks at
two o’clock this morning.
Arrested as a Watch Thief.
A white man named John Jones, was
charged with stealing a watch and chain
from a tailor named Thomas Moler in a
house kept by Henry Sauer and known as
the Black Bear,.corner of Bay and Jeffer
son street, on Sunday night. Jones it ap
pears. came from Jacksonville on Satur
day, and applied at the house mentioned
for lodging, lie was assigned to a room
with Moler. Some tune during the night
he woke Moler and asked what time it was.
The tailor drew out his watch and an
swered. Jones arose early the next
morning and left the house. Some time
afterward Moler missed his watch and
chain, and no one having been iu the room
except Jones, he was charged with the
theft, and was arrested yesterday at the
instance of the proprietor of the house,
and brought before the Mayor, before
whom the ease was partially investigated
and continued for further trial.

disposed of his interest in that business to
his son. Mr. Isaiah A. Solomons, who has
heretofore carried on a successful com
mission business, and will hereafter de
vote his entire attention to “Solomons’
Proprietary Medicines.” Mr. Solomons
and his house are known throughout the
country as one of the most reliable in their
liue of business. The firm was established
in 1845, and have occupied their present
location since 1846. The change will, to a
certain extent, relieve Mr. A. A. Solo
mons of the cares incident to business. In
the change the firm will have the best
wishes of their friends for their continued
success.
Davis Hros.’ Holiday Gift Drawing.
Davis Bros.’ holiday gift drawing took

pacity. After the sale of the chances was
completed, the matter was placed in the

THE CARRIERS’ NEAT YEAR’S.
Something About the Boys and Men
Who Spread the News at Break of
Day—Their Annual Address.
AVe publish this morning the “Carriers’
Address to the Headers of the MORNING
News,” copies of which neatly printed in
note form will la; presented during the
day in person by the carriers to the pa
trons of the paper, and for which they
hope to receive a substantial gift. Some
will be handsomely rewarded with dimes,
quarters and halves, and probably some
exceedingly liberal subscriber will give a
dollar to these mueh-abused mortals.
It is generally supposed that carriers
do not get sick, never go on sprees, forego
excursions, picnics, and the many other
misfortunes to which mankind are heir,
but they are not exempt. AYhen they
indulge in these recreations, sickness
included, the early riser dees not get his
Morning News. Sometimes, however,
the carrier leaves the paper, but the sub
scriber, who pays his money, does not
get its value. Some kind neighbor,
or tlie neighbor's bad boy, anxious
to turn an honest nickel, gets it.
At other times the family goat gobbles it
and doubtless finds that he caa digest the
Tonquin or tariff questions with equal
facility. All these mishaps to the morn
ing paper are laid to tlie unfortunate car
rier. We do not believe these men and
boys are ttetter than the average
mortal, but they are called upon to do a
work that requires early rising and ex
posure to all kindsof weather. Altogeth
er, we think that they do as well in their
calling as most of us. and we therefore
bespeak for them the kindly remembrance
of our friends on this happy New A ear’s
day.
THE NEAT YEAR’S ADDRESS
Of the Carriers of the Savannah Morn
ing News.
BY MISS K. J. PBILLBBICK.
Again vour carrier waits
With his greeting at your gates:
Joy tie with you all, good friends, upon tills
happy day.
For another glad New A’ear
Comes with liis promise fair.
And hope springs from the grave of the Old
Year passed away.
The Old Year passed aw ay.
The grand memorial year of Kighty-Thrkk.
That clasped forever with his day
And all Hie coming days to he.
Tin* dories of tlie centuries grey,
A golden link in history!
Our own memorial year!
Our city’s sesqui-centennial. Still we stray
Beneath the February skies that shine
In all their azure and their gold array
l'pon tlie august pageant of that day;
And still is borne upon the joyous air
The peals triumphant of her sacred bells,
Whose happy music tells
Her birth not only, biit her growth divine,
Advancing ever as the years advance
How glows the patriot’s breast, how quickens
pulse and thought.
As to the mental sight the years unfold
Their panorama, and the musing glance
Doth note her glorious growth since first
there came
Across the perilous seas tlie barque that
brought
l nto this waiting land
Him of the thoughtful brain and helpful
hand.
Friend of the friendless, Oglethorpe! thy
name,
Svnonym of a father's lender care.
With good deeds fragrant and with honors
fraught.
Graved on our hearts we bear,
But to thy deathless fame
No sculptured stone we rear.
Thou for thyself hast wrought
A more enduring monument than carven
stone—
Behold the tree of stately growth that sprung
From the weak seedling germined m thy
thought.
And planted by thine anxious care alone.
’Tis now thine olive crown!
No blood-stained laurel this, but fair among
Tlie trees primeval stands thy tree of peace.
Our Forest City. Nor strife, nor fraud, nor
shame
Had part in its proud growth and fair in
crease.
Nor curse of blood upon the sunny land
Since erst in Tomoehichi's hand.
As leal anil trustful, tliou didst place thiue
own.
And through the circling years
As virgin-white in honor still appears
Thy loved Savannah’s name.
We wake as from a dream; behold,
A hundred years and half again are told
Since first that tree was planted. Now
Wide-spread anti bourgeon is each bough;
And ice beneath its shade, I trow,
Upon our Sesqni day
Avery different sight did see
To that which the old hero saw
When the Mochi of Yamacraw
in gorgeous array.
To him a friendly hand did reach,
And cried in choicest Indian speech:
“ Tt ■<tauc puae-kaimy eehee!”
Ah! had those honored shades the power
To visit their old haunts again
And watch unseen that festal hour,
Then walk about their ancient streets,
In which no tracks of theirs remain,
And look on all the wondrous feats
of late inventiug. they had been
Too well astonished ghosts. I ween.
And had they called again next day
To view our glorious Trades’ display,
Which even to our modern eyes
Was something worth the sight.
Who may depict their wild surprise
And wondering delight!
All, well, perhaps they did—who knows?
And tlien went back to their repose,
Contented that their little town
Was doing all its level best
To grow without one moment’s rest
A city of renown.
With such glad scenes the Year arose,
And though events that marked its close
Have filled, our hearts with grief—
For flame has swept the haunted ground
Of the old Indian chief—
Yet, in our pain and loss is found
A future gain and grace;
And fair shall from its ashes rise
The old historic place.
Farewell, Old Year! Your race is ruu;
We bless you as you close your eyes.
And lurn'to wait the rising sun'
With which your brother year shall rise.
We dare not cast his horoscope.
Yet as we see him joyous spring
From tlie dead past of time, we hope
That richer blessings he will bring—
of good and health and wealth a store,
Then welcome to us. Eighty-four.
And now your carrier waits
With his greeting at your gates:
Joy be with you all, good friends, upon this
happy day.
For another glad New Year
Comes with his promise fair.
And hope springs from the grave of the Old
Year passed away.

To All Whom It May Concern.
Be it known that for reasons previously
stated in these columns, I have decided
oil a still further reduction in the prices
oi my Clothing, Hats and Furnishing
Goods, and invite particular inspection of
my $lO, sl2, sls and $lB Wool Suits, the
very best ever offered for the money. Fine
dress suits cheaper than anywhere in the
city. Avery large line of Underwear to

Regarding the quality of my goods, it is
not necessary for me to blow about; the
people of Savannah know well the class
of goods I have been selling here for a
long number of years, and I have en
deavored to improve on them every year.
This is no advertising dodge, come and
convince yourself of the fact, and if you
have a dollar to invest, you are certain
to get a dollar and twenty-five cents
worth for it. Sign of Golden Arm, 159

Practical Education.
It is the opinion of many of the most
enlightened minds and brightest intellects
everywhere that the present system of
education, which embraces in its curri
culum so many branches of a merely
ornate or showy character, and so little of
what is of practical value to the recipi
ent, thus turning out its votaries with
out giving them the proper use of their
intellectual faculties, fails of accomplish
ing the grand design of education—the
symmetrical development ot the whole
man and his perfect adaptation to what
ever sphere in life he may be called upon
to fill.. Hence we see rising on every side
educational establishments, conducted by
progressive minds, whose aim is to sup
ply the much-needed demand ofthe times
—au education of practical value to its
possessor, one suited to every-day life and
which can be drawn on, as one would
draw on his banker, with the assurance
that it will not be slow in responding to
his reasonable demands and just expecta
tions. Prominent amongst the institu
tions of this class stands McCarthy’s
Business College. Established in this
sity for thirteen years, its career has been
marked by the latge number of young
men here and throughout the South whom
it has educated and enabled to procure
and retain emolumentary positions in the
world of commerce. They are to be
found on every hand in banks and busi
ness houses,* insurance, railroad anti
steamship companies’ offices, giving per
fect satisfaction to their employers, and
are living illastrations of the value of
a practical and useful education com
pared with a mere theoretical training in
obsolete languages and other useless
branches. The founder of this institution,
Prof. M. B. McCarthy, is not ouly a
thorougli scholar, but a nractical business
man. He has also had an experience of
forty years both as a literary and com
mercial teacher, and was amongst the
foremost of the pioneers m the building
up of the new system ot practical educa
tion, having been engaged by the late
Rufus Dolbear, the renowned commercial
educator of the South in years gone by,
to aid the latter in placing upon a firm
basis his new system of educational
training, a system which has since grown
to such vast proportions threughout the
country. F’or the past decade he has been
chiefly aided by his son, Prof. J. Y. B.
McCarthy, who is a graduate of one of
the largest and most efficient institutions
of the International Association of Busi
ness Colleges, an excellent accountant,
a tine penman and an accomplished
teacher.
Such an institution is eminently deserv
ing of the success which attends it, and
we are pleased to learn that the college is
in a flourishing condition; for there are
few educational institutions of such great
value to young men, and none can show
a brighter record for usetulness or have
better illustrated the advantages of prac
tical education. With such an institu
tion as this in our midst none need go to
a distance to obtain a good, solid, practi
cal education.— Adv.

What Is It That Ye Seek?
IS not education one of the most desirable
tilings in life? Is not a solid, practical,
useful education better than a superficial,
ornate and comparatively useless one? Who
can gainsav this? Ask Charles Francis Adams
about it. If then you become satisfied that a
practical education is what is most to be
desired as a mental acquirement, the question
naturally arises.where can such an education
be best obtained? Is there any school m Sa
vannah that imparts it? Nor 'need you wait
long for an answer. A practical education
is afforded by an institution of thirteen years’
standing in your midst, t chose successful career
is marked by the high degree of public confidence
it has already gained and the annual increase in
the number of its students. Need we say this
school is McCarthy’s Business College?
We know that there are some who ignore this
school, and who seek an education at distant
schools—not because they can obtain a better
education elsewhere than here, but because it
is promised to be imp irted to them in three
months by schools at the Xorth. Wecannot per
ceive why any should preter to pay several
hundred dollars at a distant school for a mere
superficial course Of learning rather than pa
tronize a home institution of acknowledged
merit at a cost lo them of an amount not exceed
ing their traveling exieenses to. and from the
North, Some tell as they go “to have a good
time” and combine business with pleasure.
This is not judicious. “One thing at a time,
and that well done,” should he our motto.
Remember, also, Parents and Young
Men, that by patronizing distant institutions
in preference to home institutions you not
only deprive the latter of their legitimate
support, but carry your money away to circu
late it in strange "communities, to the great
and permanent detriment of your own city;
and, furthermore, as the Superintendent of
Public Instruction said in his annual school
ret>ort of 1878, you cast an undeserved reflection
upon your own Southern schools by implying
that their curricula and teachers are inferior
to those of the North. With regard to our
selves, we are willing toliave you judge us by
our works. You will find our farmer students
and graduates on all sides in this city In
banks and business bouses, railway,
steamship and insurance companies’ of
fices. .Vote well the fact that many of these
have never gone Xorth, and we challenge com
parison between them and the graduates of
Poughkeepsie College, or any other Xorth
ern so-called “actual business ” school,
either as to their qualifications as
practical acoountants, elegant pemnen
or practical business men, confident that
such comparison could not fail to redound ad
vantageously to our students. Away, then,
with your "actualbusiness”nonsense schools!
Whore is there any of them that can show a
better record for usefulness, if as good, as ex
hibited in practical results, than McCarthy’s
Business College? And, parents, by edu
cating your sons at home, they will not contract
dissijmfed habits, as hundreds have done to our
personal knowledge, of those who have been
sent away from home. Leading business
men, eminent educators, the press and
former patrons endorse us. College re
opens January 2, 1884.
