RAVEN ENT* %M PIItHIIKMI,
Th** measure of a city’s progress and
prosperity may lx Judged by its streets
If they are well paved and kept in good
order. It I# pretty g < and evidence of the
public sp.rit and energy of the city fa
, th* rs und the * i ii*-tw >;**rerally. If, on the
j other hand, the coniitlon of the streets I#
the opposite; If the paved streets are In
bad repair, and a number of streets are
merely long stretch* - - of sand betweo
’ rows of houses, the conclusion fo bo
reached by logical process is that #one-
I thing is lacking somewhere. Stretches of
| s.ivml In the room of paved street# may le
•■xcusable In country towns and village#,
but they are out of place in modern cities
which make pretensions to progress*ve
nes.
The present adminivtration of Savannah
h.is made some show* of street laiviug on
Gwinnett, Wheaton. President. nd Ht. Ju
lien streets, and Park Avenue, and on a
few blocks of Hull strict In the southern

very well don*-. Th#- vitrified brick pave
ments laid are very creditable, and will
no doubt give satisfaction. It
though, that • p*4nt might be strained
to do more work of the sain* kind Mu h
more of it is needed. Alderman Dixons
successful #fforts In behalf of Indian

The Improving of the streets should
l*j continuous. Every day that pass*#
should wltn*‘*>’ the progress of work Upon
some cm or more street*. #intll all #
them havt b* n paved. It I# to the in

ptved since good paving means not only

crease in property values. Would any
body have Hull. Drought n. Liberty or
Drayton returned to the conditions of a
few years ago" Certainly not. Every
cltlxen. f?on the wealthiest property own
er to the humblest bootbrtck. feel# a pride
In the beautiful, paved streets
There Is a Rflflltt necessity for street
Improvements In the southern section of
the city. The paving of Jeffertbn street
thould b** continued south to Twelfth
street, and th*- deep sand of Barnard an*i
Ats rcorn streets shouid be replaced with
Vltlifled brick, asphalt or some other first
class material. The majority of property
owners and residents on those streets, as
well as many of thas* on cross street.*,
would willingly i*ay their proportion of
the assessment for such improvement The
street railway would also be much bene
flted. not only by reason of the protection
which thfj paving material would afford
It?- tracks, but by the Increase In popula
tion of the Koutnern section which would
most surely follow the suggested improve
ments.
ThlH matter shouid have the favorable
attention of every progressive alderman
It seems that there are other items in tht?
city budget which might be scaled down
without HI results, and the money thus
saved given to the Improvement of the
streets.

Mr. A. J. Huston of Liverpool. England,
who l credited with being "on?* of th*'
best-known cotton experts In tlie world,"
h H J*i*4 completed his "customary tour
through the Southern states for the pur
pose of examining the cotton crop." A*
New Orleans the other day Mr Huston
gave out n summary for publication of
the conclusions he had reached from hi#
observations. These conclusions, while
they may b accepted seriously In Liver
pool and elsewhere in Great Britain, are
likely to be regarded with amusement In
this country by p* rsons who are familiar
with the cotton situation.
Mr. Huston thinks the stie of the crop
has been considerably underestimated. In
plade of a 9.000,0bb-bale crop he look* for
one of 10.250.0 W, which may be still fur
ther It r* <-* l if there D u late frost. He
arrives at this conclusion, he says, from
these reasons: "The slxe of the bolls, as
compared with hist year. Is much larger,
the yield per acre of lint Is much larger;
the staple la everywhere superior to that
of last year, and h* bales are heavier."
Many of the planters say that picking Is
ttlwut over, but Mr. Huston cannot ufree
with them. He thinks the picking will ex
tend over severe! weeks yei, und tlmt for
some time cotton will continue So flow
Into the market. The cry of scarcity of
labor is one of the things which the Eng
lishman cunrot understand. "The wages,"
ho soys, "are r a onabtv—S3 p* r day at al
most nil th** plain at ?ons—-and It Is surpris
ing that the people do not take advantage
of this opportunity." In Alabama. Texas
and Georgia he found tills shortage of
lutior most acute, notwithstanding the of
fer of |3 per day to cotton pickers.
There are several points in Mr. Huston's
statement which wall-informed cotton
men will read with a smile, since they in
dicate that his four has not been eminent
ly successful in so far as gathering a lot
of valuable facts Is concerned. If he Is
looking for a crop of upw*ards of 10.2KMKN)
bale?-, h doomed io disappointment.
and those British or continental spinners
who base their expectations upon his con
clusions will be apt to And later that his
bear estimates an* no more reliable than
were thos** of Mr. Nelli last se?on.
