The Savannah Harbor.

'Long Shoals,' the Washington CORES
pendent Of the Augusta Chronicle, in a re-
cent letter thus speaks of Senator Hill and
Col. E. G. Anderson:
''lt was on the Savannah (three hundred
yards wide, three hundred and sixty miles
from its m0uthl that the first bale of cotton
began its voyage to the Northern market.
''ln 1924 the Senate of the United States
ordered a survey of the Savannah, which
was made and reported favorably upon by
the engineers. Senator Hill had been fur
nished with papers, giving some important
statistical information, by our citizens in
public meeting assembled, by the City Coun-
Gil and by the last grand Jury. Yet he failed
to avail himself of these sources to obtain
information needed by his brother Senators.
''It is time, Messrs. Editors, that we look
around our State and select practical, work
ing men to represent US. The DAYS for
abstractionists have passed away. senatar
Hill has been logged by Logan because of
Hills ignorance as to the resources of his
State. That is enough.
"Col. E. G. Anderson, of Savannah, is
generally credited with having obtained
100000 for lighting Savannah harbor, Col.
Anderson is an old naval OElceE, and for a
number OF yearg vas on the coast survey.
and thoroughly understands that class of
work. The result shows that the Senate
could see that the appropriation asked for
was needed, because Col. Anderson gave
them the information necessary. 1t would
be we'll for Gen. Gilmore to place Col. An
derson in charge of the improvements In
this State. His integrity is above suspicion,
his ability is well known to the authorities
at Washington, and his character would
secure the cooperation OF every citizen of
Georgia. We need s.:eh man to direct the
work necessary to the development of our
resources -

Juvenile Opera Last Night,

Niles Juvenile Opera Troupe made their
first appearance at the Savannah Theatre
last evening before very fine audience,
considering the inclemency of the weather,
and the anticipations of general enjoyment
from the entertainment were fully realized.
The company have been selected with
especial care from the best
juvenile troupes in the country. They are
sprightiy, sparkling and satisfactory, and
their performance was enjoyed with great
zest. The company is composed Of chill
dren, none OF whom are over seventeen
years, and some as young as ten. The
music is particularly fine, and the singing
remarkably good, solos, duets and choruses.
Last evening the beautiful opera of
"Chimes of Normandy was presented. and
In really capital style, and was very heartily
ssPpiauded b the apPreciatiVe audience.
The petite miss who developed into the
"Msrchionessn go quickly captivated all,
and most admirably personated the part.
The entire cast was good, and the opera so
well rendered that we will not particularize.
Everybody was pleased and delighted and
the fair "MaTchionessn was complimented
with several bouquets.
This afternoon, for the benefit OF the
ladies and children, q matinee will be
sN0h; Hheu inc Sparkling aDu pOpu-
lar opera OF Pinafcre will be presented
The combination have the reputation of
giving this opera in manner superior to
all Others en- the road, and, from their
appearance last evening, we believe It.
Miss Jennie Dunn, aged nine years, takes
the part OF Josephine, y Master Arthur
Dunn, "Dick Deadeye," and Master George
Bruening the GomieGl fat marine. We can
promise something highly enjoyable. To-
night they give for farewell performance
the sprightly opera, Little Duke These
juveniles are well worth seeing, and should
have good houses.
