Advice
to Boys
dfsg
Rosseil II Sage
The great financier, gives the follow
ing good advice to boys, which i
parents might also read with profit:
“ Bovs, go to school as long as you
can, and remember every hour spent in
study in your youth will be worth money
to you in after life. Read good books;
make yourself acquainted with history,-
study the progress of nations and the
careers of men who have made
nations great.
“ Study religion, science, statecraft
and history. Learn to read
intelligently, so that you can turn to
practical use In after life the reading
of your youth. Re sure you begin
right. Do not waste time in reading
trashy books.”
Mr. Sage further says:
Rie boy who is wanted in the
business world of today must he
educated. If his parents cannot afford to
give him a college or a high school
eduucation he must learn to study
without the aid ot a teacher, in the early
mornings before business begins, and
in the evenings after business hours.
It can no longer be truthfully said thal
an education is out of any one’s
reach.”
i his is the advice of a man who is
one of the most conspicuous business
successes of our time, and who has
amassed one of the largest fortunes in
America. It cannot possibly be
charged that he is in the pay of THE I
Atlanta Constitution, and yet
these words given as the conviction of
life of unusual observation and
experience advises as strongly as words
can that you hasten to accept the offer
of Ihe Constitution, and secure this i
greatest of popular educators. The
Encyclopaedia Britannica.
The edition offered by The
Constitution fills every requirement oi
Mr. Sage’s recipe for success. It is the
only edition that Is up to date. Who ;
will be without these books now,
when Ten Cents a day will secure
them ?

SPRINGFIELD CANAL
Not Capable of Carrying Off the Water
of the Swamp Above It.
Savannah, Aug. 27.—Editor Morning
News: In the report of Inspector Di
verges published this morning, he dwells
upon the “absurdity of the fallacy” that
Springfield canal is not adequate to void
the water from the swatnps above it. If
the inspector were to inquire of any of
the persons residing near Musgrove
swamp above the “backdam” near Eaurel
Grove cemetery, he would be informed
that nearly the whole of the rainy
season this swamp has been fuil
of water; that many times Minis swamp
canal has been out of its banks and over
flowed the swamp from the Ogeeebee av
enue on down to the back dam ; that the
whole of Musgrove swamp above the back
dam is now in a boeg.v condition. The
reason for this is that Springfield canal is
not adequate to carry off the water com
ing down from above, but causes it to
back up and overflow the swamps. And
so it will bo until that canal is enlarged
and a better outlet made for it.
1 am informed that before the
work on the Lamar swamp canal
and the drains above was commenced the
city authorities were notified, and acting
on tliis notification raised and strength
ened the banks of the back dam and along
Springfield canal. While this no doubt
prevented the overflow of Springfield
plantation below the dam it by no means
“proved the canal an adequate and ready
outlet” for the waters above it. Had
there fiecn at any time a heavy rainfall of
sor >’< inches, such as fell last August or
September,it is very probable these batiks
fcould have been broken and the planta
tion overflowed as it was then. Was not
tho idea of carrying the waters of the
upper part of Minis’ swamp and all of
Lamar's swamp to the Little Ogeeohee the
“fallacy" which prevented the drainage
of this area before.' 1 think it was.
While the drainage done by the com
missioners around the city has been most
eiiective in carrying off the water of the
smaller and more elevated swamps and
higher grounds, and thus conduced to the
health of the city and its immediate vi
cinity, tho main swamps into which these
waters were precipitated have been
overflowed almost continuously. The old
canals iu these swamps have proven
totally inadequate to carry off the water.
Musgrove swamp, Cuvier swamp, and tho
swamps through which Harmon canal is
cut, have suffered greatly on this account,
as all the residents in their vicinity will
testify. Observer.
