RABBI RABBINO
Desires to Correct Certain State
ments Made by The Post-
Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 6.—To The
Post:—lu 4 an editorial of recent date
viz:—“The Woes of Israel” you say,
apparently to his credit, that Israel
has originally been the most war
like nation of the Orient. This,
however, is not so, and may in my
estimation lead to a misundertand
' ing of the true Hebrew character, a
. misrepresentation,which you do not
intend to make. Allow me therefore
dear sir, to make the following cor
rections:
Israel has been from the very be
ginning of his national life been the
religeous teacher of the natives of
the earth, the messenger of Jehovah
to promulgate the cause of true civil
ization, which consists in harmony,
peace, liberty and freedom, nobility,
purity and virtue and true piety.
All the battles, which Israel fought
since his settlement in Palastins
were not prompted by the ambition
for conquest or military glory; they
were merely fought in self defense,
and here it is true, that his armies
proved themselves patriotic, enthu
siastic and consequently courageous,
heroic and victorious. Israel has
lost his political independence, but
never his patriotism. In America
we are Americans in the full and
truest sense of the word; in Ger
many our brethren are true and
genuine Germans, devoted sons of
the fatherland, and in France, Eng
land, Italy and Turkey they are no
' less faithful and self-sacrificing pa
triots of their respective countries
and governments. Still the memory
of Jerusalem, of our ancient political
glory and national giandure is as
dear to every truly Israelitish heart
as ever. Agriculture was, as you
correctly state, the original and al
most only pursuit of Israel. Yet the
fanaticism, religeous bigotry and
ignorance of the middle ages shut
out the children of the patriarchs
from all else, and forced them to be
come traders. But also in this po
sition they soon became useful mem
bers of society, yea the most usefu 1
in those dark ages, when the church
and the army were the only two rec
ognized professions. They promoted
commerce by the interchange of com
modities, and they promoted civili
zation by the constant communica
tion sojkept up between .the East and
the West. Though the Israelitish
people have thus learned to handle
their trades to their bownest and to
the best of the community, in which
they live, it is nevertheless erroneous
to think, that they control com
merce, or that their financial and
commercial power holds the purse
string of the world. There are poor
Israelites enough even in cities,
where other denominations count
their millionarcs in whole groups.
The great mistake, that all Jews
have money, or that they are the
richest among all other denomina
tions arises perhaps from the fact
that as a rule the Israelites take
care of their own poor and do not
allow them to become a burden upon
the community at large, and thus
they escape the notice of the public.
Hoping that these lines will prove
acceptable to you, I am,
Yours Respectfully,
B. Rabbino,
Rabbi B. T. Cong.

BUILDING BOOM.
Real Estate Promises to Advance
at an Early Date.

Prospectors Buying Options on City
and Suburban Property.-The
Building Permits Granted by
. the Council Last Night-
During this hot weather real es
tate is not especially attractive, but
the indications are favorable for a
brisk movement within the next few
weeks.
There are probably more prospec
tors in the vicinity of this city than
ever befoie at this season of the
year, and options are being taken on
large tracts of city and suburban
property.
The building and loan associations
and the real estate agents who han
dle property paid for by install
ments are doing a good business.
People of limited means are realiz
ing as never before that they can
buy property by the payment of a
small sum each month, and the su
burbs are filling up very rapidly
with this class of investors. They
invest for the purpose of securing a
home, and a great many very pretty
cottages are being built in this
city.
Almost any man can obtain
enough to make the first payment on
a house and lot and when thio is
made, he does not have to pay more
than rent would cost him. These
transfers generally appear only on
the books of the building and loan
associations and of the real estate
agents, hence do not figure in the
list as taken from the register’s
books.
The increase in this class has
been very large during the past few
months and the prospects are that
it will be even greater in the' fu
ture.
The building boom is at its i
height. The ring of the hammer,
the buzz of the saw and the sharp
click of the trowel, as it strikes
against the bricks are heard on
every hand. A building boom of
large proportions is on. Handsomer
private residences or public buil
dings arc being erected on almost
every street in the city
A Post reporter talked to several
architects this morning and found
their, all busy and cheerful over the

That’s Where Two Young Africans
Spent Monday Night.
They spent Monday night on Buz
zard’s Island, not because they pre
pared to enjoy an evening among
carrion crows but because their boat
drifted away and there was no other
alternation.
Last Monday Isom Green and
Henry Bledsoe, two negro boys who
live in the neighborhood of Faney
Bluff, decided to explore the little
island between Brunswick and South
Brunswick, known as Buzzard’s Is
land.
After battling with the busy bil
lows for fully three hours, ti e explor
ers reached their destination, fast
ened their boat to projecting snag
and struck a bee line for the center
of the isle. The boys found that
their progress was as much impeded
by underbrush as it had been by a
a rough sea. Finally, however, they
reached the camping grounds of the
buzzards and carrion crows.
Having satisfied their curiosities
by a combat survey of the field, the
boys turned their faces toward the
spot where the boat had been been
moored. On arriving there they
were dumbfounded to find the boat
loose and drifting in mid stream.
There was no possible way to regain
it and the yonng Africans gave forth
the most lusty whoops, hoping to at
tract some passing skiff. Suffice it
to say, Green and Bledsoe spent that
that night on Buzzard’s Island. And
that was not all. They spent nearly
the whole of yesterday on the same
spot.
About 11 o’clock Green’s father
came to the rescue and carried the
hungry “devils” to “home, sweet
home.”

Her Dress Was Ablaze.
There was considerable excitement
on L street this morning about 6
o’clock, us residents in that vicinity
can testify. Susan Myers, a young
negro girl, was attending to the cul
inary department of her mother’s
household, when her dress caught
fire from the open fire place. When
Susan took in the situation she
screamed like a maniac and rushed
through the house out into the
street. Her mother followed in
close pursuit, overtook her and ex
tinguished the flumes. It then de
veloped that Susan was more fright
ened than burnt.

Boys' Battles in the Revolution.
When the British occupied Philadel
phia during the Revolutionary war
with an army numbering nearly 20,000
men, there was a bitter enmity between
the British drummer boys and the boys
of the city. What aggravated this
feud was the fact that there were sev
eral conspicuous Tory families in the
place, the boys of which made common
cause with the English drummers. Be
sides this there were nuinliem of cabin
boys from the great English fleet of
transports and merchant vessels in the
river who often came on shore and
gave aid and comfort to their drum
ming friends.
As a great many of the patriotic fam
ilies were absent, and as Quaker boys
are not allowed to fight, there was
something like an equality of numtiers
between the two {>artiee. The fights
between them were of almost dailyoc
curreuce. The town boys had their
headquarters ui an old brewery a little
way out of the city, the entnuioes and
approaches to which they fortified as
strongly as they could.
In those fighting days scarcely any
one had any serious objection to the
fiercest conflicts between boys, provided
they fought only with the weapons that
nature had given them and youfonned |
to tiie rulee of the ring But oue day
. iui English druimuer boy was so lasdly
hurt bi an encounter between tlie Au>er
ican boys and tboee mlheriug to the
lung tliat he died soon after. This, Jed ’
