SAVANNAH OF TO-DAY,
The Morning \ri Annual Trade Review-.
A Few Pointer* in Relation Thereto.
The Morning News’ Annual Trade Re
view, containing a complete and compre
hensive statement of the business of Savan
nah, w ill be issued early in September.
The year ending Sept. 1, 1889, will be a
memorable one i > the history of Bavannah,
and the Morning News proposes to give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
jear future. There is no better way in
which the outside world can be informed of
what is going on in a community than
through the columns of its newspapers.
The Morning News i.i it* forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities In the union,
and that her citizens, judgi-g from wbat
they have done during the last year, are
fully alive to the great ess of her future.
They have proven by the various local im
provements they have made, and by the
active interest they have manifested in
railroads projected for her benefit, that
they are not afraid to invest their money
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have confide,.ce
In her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
and her great railroad systems will, in a
few years, make her the greatest seaport
city in the south.
The Mokning News will, in its Trade
Review, present to the word “Savannah ol
to-day,” in a resume of what has hereto
fore appeared in Its columns. The review
will be in such shape that, at a
glacoe, it will be seen wbat hns
been accomplished during the year.
The Trade Review will contain articles
showing the bu iness of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts whioii
promise a steadily increasing prosperity.
It will establish the fact that there is no
healthier city in the south and none more
pleasant in which to live and do business
either in summer or winter. It will
prove by figures that Savannah is
without a rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizens
•how that they are satisfied that she is
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in the
usual form, and will be a newspaper whioh
those who feel a pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
It will afford business me i an opportun
ity of saying something about their business
and themselves. It is hoped that in size, as
well as in other respects, it will sur ass
every previous edition. That, however,
depends entirely upon the orders it re
ceives from advertisers.
It is desired to distribute 50,000 copies,
and that number will be distributed, if the
response of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as wo have reason to believe it
will be.
Orders for advertising or for copies of
the paper can he ha .ded in at the business
office, or, if desired, they will lie called for
by the can vassers.
It is thought that the President will kiss
another baby before he returns to Washing
ton. He isn’t fond of kissing babies, but
he hopes to be rewarded in 1 Slid.
The Philadelphia News says that Senator
Hampton is mistaken w e.i he states that
the republican., wiil get no hold iu the
south. It was not to be expec.ed that
everybody would agree with the senator,
but it may be said with a good and ai of con
fidence that so lon ; as there is a large col
ored population in tie s juth, the R publi
can iarty will have up-hill work trying to
“get a hold."
Education in the South.
The indorsement of the Blair educational
bill by the republican state convention of
i Virgin a is being made the text by northern
| republican journals of articles on “E luca
! tion in the South.” These journals insist
! that if tl e uh.tes of the s.iuthern sta es are
depended upon to pr vide educational
facili ies for the blacks, several generations
cf blacks will pass away in ignorance.
T ere is undoubtedly a great deal of
illiteracy in the south, and it exists among
the w ites as well as the blacks, but those
who are acquainted with the p iblic schools
of the southern states know that the schools
| are being improved, and their uum >er so
j increased that the children of both the
whites and the blacks have an opportunity
[ toe joy the advan ages which they offer.
I In every s mther i state more i iterest is
now being taken in the public schools than
ever before. The appropriations for school
purposes are being coi tinuaily increased,
and the people are showing a greater will
ingness to tie taxed for school purposes.
A though the blacks contribute very little
to t e support of the public schools, their
childreu have the same school advantages
as those of the whites. The whites real
ize the necessity for an improvement in the
intellectual and moral condi ion of the
blacks, and they a e imposing upon them
selves additional burden i in order that the
blacks may have opportunities for such im
provement.
When the Blair bill was first introduced
into congress there was qui e a strong senti
ment in the south in favor of it. It is
doubtful if such is the case now. Opposi
tion to it began to crop out when it was
understo and that it was the intention of the
R. p ibiicau party t keep the fund for
which the bill providod under the control
of federal officials. It looked like a scheme
to give that party a foothold in thi south.
Within the 1 st year or two some of the
most objectionable features of tee bill have
been greatly changed, but it is still ob
jectionable to the great majority of the
whites of the south.
During the years that the bill has been
under discussi >n the whites of the south
have considered it in all its hearings, and
have reac.ied the conclusion it would do the
south more barm than good. It costs them
a great deal to support tneir sc uiols, but
the more the schools cost t ie more they will
be appreciated. The self-deni and which must
be practiced in their behalf draws attention
to them, a id the greater the atte .tion that
is given them the better will be the
u dersta idi.ig of tneir advantages. If the
federal government were to appropriate
money for public schools, the probability is
t at the people would, to a certain exte.it,
lose iu.erest in them. At least they would
feel less like taking money out of their
p ckets to support them. They would be
inclined to let the federal government sup
port them altogether. If this feeling
should prevail the public schools would
suffer.
Since the close of the war of sec ssion the
Southern people have been depending upon
themselves. They have learned to bj self
reiiant. For years after the close of the
war they had a bard struggle. They were
courageous and indus.rious, however, a id
they me beginning to have their reward
Notwithstanding the fact that tneir veterans
have no pen-ions, except the few who draw
smad sums from the treasuries of the states,
they have scarcely any paupers or tramps.
The confederate soldiers, knowing ttiat
they must rely upon tuem-elves, went to
work, and i ave continue 1 to w .rk, aid
t ey have become comparatively prosper
ous. Although more than $50,000,000 is
distributed in the north annually in pen
sions, there is a distressing amount or p >v
erty there. Tno gover unent’s bounty has
removed to a great exte t the incentive to
labor, and pauperism is steadily increasing.
If the federal government should supply
funds for pub.ic schools the Deoplo mignt
abandon their efforts in behalf of toes
se..o Is. The Biair bill might not be a
blessing. The southern people do not be
lieve it would be. They have stud.ed it
carefully and the couclusi on they appear to
have reached is that they would be better
off without it.
The Haytian Situation.
Gen. Hipp ly te has proved himself the bet
ter general. Legitime is now a fugitive
and Hippolyte is in possession of Haytl. O lr
disi atones this morning state that Hippolyte
has obtained possession of Port au Prince,
the capital. The details are wan.i ,g, but
it is probable that Logi.iine, when he fuu .and
that he could no long r hold out ag dust
Hippolyte, quietly withdrew from ;he capi
tal and permitted it to be occupied by his
opponent.
It has been evident for several weeks
that Hippolyte would be victorious. He
captured ne place afier a otuer until all
the isla and, exc pt Port au Prince and one
or two places of minor importance, recog
nized his authority.
The contest between the two generals
was quite a long one. Not a great dal of
blood wits spilt, but much damage was
done to property in cue way and another.
The plantations were deserted to a great
extent, and business was almost paralyzed.
Legitime, it is asserted, gained his position
of president by fraud and violence. In
fact, there has been no peace on the island
since the late Preside it Solomon left it.
It remains to be seen whother iopnlyte
will be able to bring order out of chaos.
Ho is said to be a man of considera le
ability and great determination. He has a
hard task to perform and very poor mate
rial with which to work. The Haytiaas
have not shown themselves fit f r self
government. The outl .ok for the future of
Hayti is by no means a pr imising one.
Perhaps the government of this country
will give Hippolyte some assistance, as it
apparently has favored him, while European
governments favored Legitime, iu the con
test that has jus. ended.
The Hon. Thomas E. Watson, of McDuffie
cou ty, will be a candidate for congress from
the Tenth district. It was stated some time
ago that Judge J. K. Hines, of Washington
county, would also boa candidate. Mr.
M atson is a brilliant young man who would
attracl attention in the House, and Judge
Hines is one of the most seiisible men in the
state, but 1 hey will have to oppose Con
gressman Barnes, and Mr. Barnes is quite
popular among his constituents.
The Manufacturers' Record , published
in Baltimore, has received answers from
thirty-three southern men, principally
mayors, to the question whether they fuv
ored Now York, Washington or Chicago as
the place for holding the world’s fair of
1892. Thirty of the men favored Washing
ton. It is worthy of note, however, that
m st of the answers were from Maryland
and Virginia, states whicu, being near
Washington, very naturally prefer the fair
to he held there.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. AUGUST 25, 1889.
Senator Call’s Challenge.
Is there going to be a joint discussion
between Senator Cal , of Florida, and Hon.
W’. D. Cbipley, chair nan of the demo
cratic com nitteo of tha state! The pe iple
of Flori la are waiting for an answer to
his qu stion, and they would l.ke to have
it as soon as possible.
Several weeks ago S mator Call chal
lenged those who opp >sd his re-election to
the Senate to meet nim in every c maty in
Florida and discuss the cha gos which have
been made against him. Hon. W. D.
Chipley accepted the challenge, and o
I last Sunday his letter of acceptance
was published. In his letter he proposed
several co lditions, one of wnich was that
there should lie meetings in fifty counties,
and another was that the joint discu siou
should begin on the first Tuesday in March
and continue until each of the fifty counties
had been visited. If the conditions were
satisfactory to Smator Call he has not so
stated publicl , so far as the Morning
News knows. There is no reason to doubt,
however, that he will either accept the con
ditions or ask a reasonable modification of
them.
It may be accepted as certain that the
discussion i 1 take place. Indeed, it is not
ea yto sea how it can be avoided. Senat >r
Call is undoubtedly anxious t > talk to tie
people about the charge* which have been
made a;a nst him. If he wo a not he
would not have is ued a challenge. He
probably feels able to show to iiis constitu
ents th it the charges are the invention of
his political e emios.
Mr. Chipley is very well equipped for a
disc issi n with the senator. He has taken
a leading part in Florida politics for a num
ber of years, and last fall he made a.i esti
mate of the major tv that Florida would
give the national dene cratic ticket which
prov and him to be a gentleman of wide in
formation and excel e it judgment.
The discussion will do the Democratic
party in Florida no har n. Accordi ig to
Mr. Chi]'ley's iatter, it is to be confined to
Senator Call’s record. The se mtor will
u dertake to show that he has been faithful
and equal to the trust repose 1 in him by the
pe iple of F.orida, and Mr. Chipley will un
dertake to show that he has not.
The discussion cannot be otherwise than
interesting, although dealing entirely with
matters personal to Senator Call. The pe >-
pie want to know whether or not he has
been an able, efficient and conscientious
public servant. If ho shows that he has,
it is more than probable t lat he will be re
turned to the Senate. If he does not show
th t ho has. the chances are that his career
as senator will on 1 with his present term.
A Cost y Mistake.
There is complaint that some of the
cotton, covered with cotton bagging, that
has thus far reached the ports is insuffi
ciently covered. The fanner who does not
put enough covering on his ba es to confine
the c ’tto.i m kos a costly mistake. Several
things result Irom the mistake. O ie is, that
the cotton drops out of the bale in handling,
and there is consequently a loss in weight.
Another is, that the cotton is exposed to the
weather and become damaged. Its value,
therefore, is decreased. S ill auother is,
that the exporter who purchases the cotton
has to get addi ional covering for it before
he can ship it, aud the farmer has to pay
for this covering in some wav.
The Morning News calls the attention
of the farmers to this matter for their own
good. It is impossible to get the best
rotult from cotton that is nut in tha con
diti n that the trade requires. The factors,
of course, will do the best they can for
their customers, but it is impossible for
them to handle cottou to the best advan
tage when it is not properly c ivored.
There is another thing th it must o taken
into consideration. An effort is being made
to get tie Liverpx>l Coct m Exchange to
make a tare allowance for cutt >n covered
with cotton bagging. The effort, doubt
less, will ultimately' be sucee.sful. At
present, however, the exchange does not
re.ard cotton bagging with favor,
and is not disposed to make any
concessions in its behalf. If cotton
covered with cotton bagging arrives
in Liverpool in a ragged co .ditio i the ox
change will be more hostile to that kind of
bagging than it is at present. Tue re
adjustment of t ie tare alio vance, s > as to
put co.ton covered with c tton bagging on
a footing witn that co.vered witn jute bag
ging, will bo delayed. If the farmers are
careful of t leir own interests those of them
wuo use cotto i bagging will cover their
bales so co uple,ely that there will be no
cause for complaint.
Oscar L. Britt m, of New Jersey, ha3 got
him-elf into a box. Boms time ago he
married a you ig girl in that state, but re
cei tly he obtained a divorce fro n Her. Ho
said he did not k iow where sie was living
at the time, therefore he was unable to
serve papers upon her; taa: he mar.ied her
while he was under the influence of whisky,
and t.iat here aracter wis not good. Tue
other da .- Mrs. Brit .on appeared iu court,
and said she had j jst hoard of the decree.
She stated that at the time the paper should
have been served upon her Britton knew
w here she was, a .and she denied his story re
gaoling her character and the manner in
which he was induced to marry her. Sue
said he had cou: to 1 h r several years, hut
that for some time she would not marry
him on account of her youthfuluess. Tne
divorce was set aside, but in the meantime
Britton had married a widow. He did so
just after getting the divorce, from which
it would appear that he wanted to be
divorced cm fly because he wauted to
marry someone else. Instances in which
that is the sole motive for a divorce aro
numerous. As so mas the divorce was set
aside Britton left for parts unknown.
A paragraph wuieh has been going the
rounds lately states that the olde.t twins in
the United States, if not in the world, are
Samuel and John \\ ise, of Germantown,
Til., they being 71 years old. A corre
spondent of the Philadelphia Press refuses
to accord this distinction to the Wise
brothers. He says that Jonathan and
David Chaco, of Fall Hiver, \Vis.,are the
oldest twins in tne world, being 94 years
old. Jonathau, he says, is keeping house
with his second w ife, and he splits the wood
and works the garden, and David i. equ ,Uy
as spry. They have probably a large num
ber of desceuda its.

From Ha’per's Magazine.
Tarnished and battered ami old.
Heartlessly hidden away.

Now all its glory is o’er—
Faded an.l vanished for aye;
Gone are tue driver and four.
How shall its story be told?
What shall a son -of it say?
Once it was bnl iant as gold,
Once it was gilded aud gay.
Fine in their festal array.
Many the bride that it bore.
Now ar.\they wri iklei and gray;
Gone are the driver and four!
'Long through the heat and the cold,
Ever from May until May.
Over t ie highways it ro.led.
Time has now made i) his prey.
Never a stately display,
Never a dash as of yore.
Never a swing or a sway;
Gone are the driver and four!
Over new roads that men lay
Rush we with rattle and roar,
Only sweet memories stay;
Gone are the driver and four!
Faithful to His rust.

The sun was setting in a blaza of midsummer
