ITS SIXTY-SaCOND BIRTHDAY.
, The First Presbyterian 8u rday School
Celebrates its Anniversary.
Tbe F.rst Piesbyterian church was
crowded with tbe Sunday school and con
gregation last night. The occasion was the
fi2d annivers try ct the Sunday school. The
piw* opening oil the center aisle, except a
few in the rear part of the church, were
reserved for tbe scholars. The. ulpit, pulpit
stand and communion table were tastefully
j dec rated with flowvrs and p itted plants.
Tbe exerci-es opened with tbe well-known
hymn; “All hail the power of Jesu-’
name," which was foil >wei by a prayer by
- the pastor, Hev. Mr. Rogan. After that
! cane a respo isive readi ig by Hupt. Train,
and the school fuilowad by another hymn,
afier which the members of the various
classes gave & reel ation and present 'd their
final "fferi gs, which the superintendent
I received and arranged ab .ut the table.
After the singing of be hymn “Beautiful
■ Zion,” hunt. Trail read i is report, from
whic i it anpea s that the Sunday school
was constituted by the Presbytery June 6,
; 1827, and it is no.. 02 .ears old. T,e proper
tune t) cGebr .te the anniversary would bo
Ju 6. bit convenience co pels its cele
bration t the close of the church year in
April. Lo vell Ma on, the o ,mposer, was
oi of the founders of the Indepe .dent
IVesbyte ian c urc.. nod a man well known
for i,is devo.i ni to Sunday school work.
The church was originally const ueted
with twelve members, aui s a consequence
the cm.ida/sc 00l was siimly atte ded at
first, bu wth suc.a a man as Mason at its
head it raoidly i crea el i 1 membership,
until to-day both Sunday school and churca
are among th , be t attende I in tie itv.
During the year endi g April 1, 1889, 208
'P olars were enrolled,an increase of 40 over
the year before. Tha c mtributi ms by the
sea ol ,e e liberal in the extreme, no less
t an 1387 51 having been contributed by
the classes, Tbe cla s colle tions a cording
ti the treasurer’s report "ere $264 Hi, and
the missionar/ boxes footed up $lO7 89.
Both as regards members and liuances tho
sc.iool is in a prosperous con titio 1.
The -upe inte.ident closed his report with
an exh u tation to the Sunday sc loul tu
a vake to aso 1-e of its duty toward Go i,
ad he thanked the pa tor. le.ichers ami
pupils for their ready support at a 1 time,
duri ,g tne year.
Another hymn was sung by the scholars,
fed by the choir, afier wiiioh R,v. Mr.
R iga 1 made ale v remarks. Among other
thi gs he said: If G and had not strewn the
world wit 1 beautiful fl >wrs bow different
it w .u!d bs. F'lowers are so common, be
said, t lat we don’t appreciate t iem nough;
so radiantly beautiful, so iike to heaven
nb Vii, He quited the pjet who sp ke of
flower • as tiie s ars of e rtb, and he added
t .at there is always good h .pa for a boy
who is fond of fl .wars. They serve as a
means of refl.aemunt and help to k-isp him
from being roug 1. He s >oke briefly of the
1 hree favori e fl overs, the rose, lily and the
vi ilet, a id suggested t .at each one emu
late the loveliness of tbe rose,
the purity of the lilv and tbe hu
mility of tho violet. If one ca mot fill
tiie p!ac? of the rose, he said, try and be
come like t ie lily or the violet, pure ail l
bumble. He referred to he j .ke of the oak
which was and sßAtlsfisl and disc unwed I*-
cuuse it could not be as tall as t ie pme, and
tne pine also w ,s discon aged b-cajss it
could not bear fruit 1 ke tne vine or tho
pomegra ate, an 1 this, ho observed, is
th > way of a go id many wh . are easily dis
couruged, because iliey cannot attain uiito
“iUil b o m" like the 1 o.e or the lily.
The pastor cosed his remarks with a his
tory of tbe "forget-me-not.” Afier Gid
lal na tied all t,e Hovers, he sa.d, 011s
little il over went back to God and sai i; “I
have forgotten my name,” a id the Fa tier,
I -oking and wn, said: “Forget me not.”
“Bays ad gill-,” he ad ie;’, "asyou go
through the world strive to fl 1 it with
brig t -ss an 1 sweetness as and > these festal
fl iwers.” Ad the hymn was sua/, the
be i“d c .ioa was pronounced a id tuo school
disiu.sseJ.

of the d.>ceased Gjueial Green (at a place
called Mulberry Grove) a id askrd her bow

agust us, it was ti o’clock i efore we reaciied

form an opinion cf tbe attack of th s dis

WASHINGTON’S OPINION OF SAVANNAH.
Savanna stands uoon what may be
called Inge ground f r this country. It is
extremely sa lhy, which makes the walking
very di agreeable, and the bouses very un
comfortable in -varm ad windy weather,
a, they are filled with du<t whenever these
ha >pe i. Tue town on 3 sides is sur
rounded wilh cultiv.ted R ce
fields which have a luxuriant
an 1 rich a ipearance. On the 4th or back
-i le it is fi ie ?a id. The harbor is sai ito
be very g >od & often ii led withs pin e
ngge l vessels, but th re is a bar beiow over
which not in .ro than 12 water can b? brot
excjpt at sp’g tales. Tae tide does not
fijwover 12 or 14 miles above the City,
til nigh the river is sweded by it more tha.i
double t .at distance. Rice aid Tobacco
( he last of wich is greatly iucreasuig) are
the priacipal exp >rts. L imber & 1 idigo
are also exp?rted but the latter is on tho
ieclins n and it is suppose 1 by He up &
Cotton —Sbiu ti nber, i z: live ak aid
cedar is (and may be more so) vulnable in
t.-e exit i.”
IN A MSLTIMG CONDITION.
A Portion of tbe Liberty Street Pave
ment too Soft for Travel.
The condition of the Liberty street as
phalt pavement from Bull street to Aber
coru is such that as the sun grows warm
during the day the pave cent softens and
readily yields under the feet of pedestrians.
Horse track, and vehicle tracks leave great
holes in it. This was particularly noticea
ble vester lay, a:n it was generally re
marked that as hot weather appr aches
travel on it will have to suspend, as horses
will go in to their fetlocks. T o ere appears
to be some coustitue it part wauti e to give
the sin taco the requisite hardness, tho sur
face melting and sp. eadmj;, and rendering
travel disagreeable.
The nave nent ha? not yet been accepted
by the city, a id it is said that the s reet
an 1 la.io committee will investigate tho
pave nent on b >t:i Libor yad B oughton
streets a id report t > trie council.
The Vu'cani e company, after complet
ing the L b t y street paverae it, atte ip and
to patch uo the holes in the Broughton
str et pavome t, but only the most worn
places es n :o have bee i rolai l, and there
are a number of rmg i places in the pave
ment whiu.i received n > ntte it ion. It was
sai l that the Broughton street pavement
would tie taken up and relaid fro u Abnr
corn to I.i coin street, but it was not done.
Si tj. Vnudeiiburg that noil at the time
that the tin at isfacto v catidition of that
part of it;.- pavement batwasn Lincoln an l
Vbercoru s reet3 was dae to a ini-take bv
Mr, Murdok, a direc or of the National
Vulcanite G i npanv, who was mistaken in
toe character of t iesand, it belli < comp <eJ

used; and wh?n th? Liberty street pi ve
in -ti was being laid wuere ,t is now soft
ami yml ling, Mij. \'a denburg. who suuer
intended the work, sai l that it wai the
richest ns limit pavement that the
company bad ever laid. That tb
surface is not uniform indicates
that as an experiment it was no b?tt.\ if
at good as, tae Broughtoi streit work.
The latter wn> hard uml lacked asphalt
to cover tbe surface of and uupr g ate tue
fi ie sa ii, so it disintegrated in ina.iy places,
an t the Liberty street pavement betwee i
Bull and Abercorn begi is to look as if it
would b* an asphalt or a coal tur lake be
fure t v u inner fnonths are here. K 1 , k
now as if tb it part of the pavement wi 1

GEN. ALEXANDER SAY3 NO.
The Central Has Not Yot Placed Ito
$8,500,000 Loan.
Gen. E. P. Alexander, president of tho
Ce tral railroad, has returned from Now
York after an absence of s iveral day*. A
Morning News representative called upon
him to i iqu.re as to t e truth of t ie rep irt
which was circula ing on Wad street dur
ing the week that tho Central has neg tinted
$8,5 ii),030 5 tier ce it. b nil i with th.? Ger
man banking h u e of Ku in, Loeh SiCi,
Gen. Alexander said that no sucu loan
has been placed.
“Are n > negotiations pending looking to
placing bonds to build tue Savannah and
Western*” he wa. asked.
“Yes, we are negotiating in several di
rections, but there is no truth in the sta e
meut sent out by telegram to tbe press last
Monday that the bends mentioned had been
placed.”
“Tnen you do not expect to build the Sa
vannah and Western t .is \ e ir ?”
“?Ve could not expect to build it in a
single summer. Ido not wa it to say the
r. ad will be built until I can give out some
of the contract., and that will show best
whether we mean to build it or not.”
“What is new in Central affairs ?”
“A eolately noi bitig new to note. This
time of the year and curing the month of
May are tha duller seasons for southern
roads. No hi?g is being carried beyond
the st i pie articles, and it is too late for
northern and t>o early f r southern travel.
A’ter a while thj tide of summer travel
w ill set in a:d tb? melon carrying trade
will begin, and great), - activ ty will be re
sumed on the southern ro ,and .’’
“Wuat effect are the fast freight vege
table t ai is having on the vegetable ship
ments by stca tier?”
“ the ste mer? see n to be getting their
share, and are doing about as well as las;
seas in. I have beard of no complaint of a
falling off in freights by sioamer. The
vessels aro getting all they want.
“Woile in New Y irk,” G9n. Alexander
sai i, “I visited the steamer City of Birm
ingham. Work o i her cabin facilities is
progressing favorably, and she will be out
in a few days. She will not bo put on her
regular schedule untd about Ju ie 1, as she
will take the tri is of other vessels that
need to go on the doc.ts lor slignt repairs.
Work is reported as a ti ely in progress on
the new steamer building at Chester.”
“There is general belief that Sava ina'a is
going to b? considerably b hind in its c ,t
--ton this year and that tba Central
has let tbe Virginia po ts increase their re
ceipts at the expense of Savatiuah. What
is your explanation of the shortage?” Gen.
Alexander was asked.
“I don’t think that Savannah will be be
hind. Cottin starte I off slow, and at one
time Savanna ans 53,0 JO to 90,003 bales
short, but this has been reduced, 1 think, to
about 3 ,000 bales. I thi k this will be
mad? up ixhorr.’bo close of th> seas? i.”
O.bers differ with Gen. Alexander in this
view, and ?hovv figures to prove that si ,ce
tho Terminal Company has got control of
the Central coit a has Deen directed to
Newport N?vs, Norfolk anl West Point on
the Virginia coast, and the Central has no;
bio i able to control its te r tnry. Jt is
cstimato.l that wnile Savannah has thus
far i creased her sea island cotton receipts
6,526 bales, she is sh ?rt of upland 4 ),"6i
bates, and whilo Charles on is 503 bul s
ahead on s a isl md, sh? is short 2! 2 it; oaie?
on upland. The receipt, at Virg nia ports
. ave an • xeos■ over last . ear of 54,u65 bales
—within 733 bales <f the suortage of Wuvau
nah and Charleston.
With a shortage of 89,833 bales here, and
only tho numbs of May, June, July and
Augu.t to co tie in, well infer tied co ton
men say that it is impossible thtt the list
g ound can be recovered, as the reteipts for
the four m mens name! will not only have
tub) equal to the corresponding mouths
last year, but in addition t ere w >uld have
to be average increase of rec ipts of nearly
10,000 bales per month, which'w .uld be an
unae&rd of thi g for the c.osi g months of
the sea on. On the contra y tie receipts
aro fa ling off, the receipts of last week
bei g nearly 1,439 bales . hort of the corre
