The News felicitates the city on its prog

of the business men. It speaks words of
excellent advice to the people of Savannah,
which they would do well to heed. We
congratulate Savannah on her prosperous
stale and wish for her great increase and
progress. We congratulate the Morning
News ou its excellent trade review, and we
account the city of Savannah fortunate
in having this splendid guardian of her in

From the Dalton Citizen.
The Savannah News’ annual trade edi

is saying u great deal.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Savannah, Ga., seems to have kept pace
with her sister Southern cities in com
mercial development. The total estimated
trade of that city for the year ended Au
gust 31 was $125,000,000, being an Increase
over the preceding year of upward of
$9,000,000. The number of bales of cotton
handled was 1,192,067, an increase of about
350,000 bales compared with the previous
year. The business, too, was of a sat
isfactory character. It was safely done

OPPOSED TO THE YV All YVITII SPAIN*
Congressman Griggs Still Think* If
YVn* An I'nneeessHry Proceed nre,
Thomasvllle, Ga., Sept. 9.—ln conversa
tion with the News correspondent, Mr.
Griggs, congressman for this, the Second,
district, repeated that he was opposed to
the Spanish war and did what he could in
Congress to prevent it, and that he now
feels his constituents will Indorse hi*
course, although at the time he dkl not
know how felt, but only knew that
he was right. With tedious and harassing
Stamp taxes on business, with the oppres
sive old pension tax, including Confederate
pensions and public schools, with tbi*
enormous pension burden increasing rui>-
Idly by additions of pensions from the
civil war, with other thousands already
coming from the Spanish war, yet to run
into the hundreds of millions of dollars,
wilh the prospect of enormous increase*
in the navy and army, and the new doc
trine of territorial expansion, holding with
in itself nnd the future untold trouble fof
this nation.
Mr. Griggs was quite sure that a great
mistake had been made and another great
mistake was about to be made.
Thnninwvllle’* Coining Season.
Thomasville, Ga., Sept. 9.—lt looks now
that all the hotels In Thomasvllle will bo
opened and in full blast the - coming sea
son. Parties are now negotiating for such
houses as have not been rented. Dwell
ing houses to rent are in good demand,
and It not Infrequently happens that new
people fail to locate here because a suit*
able house cannot be had. It is evident
from this that Thomasville is not only
holding Its own, but that It is growing,
notwithstanding complaints of depresses
times.
