"a NOTE OF WARNING ,.
The Campaign of the First Congress
stOnal District.

The Campaign of the First Congress
siOnal District.
Editor Morning NelgS: Your editorial
in the News of yesterday, under the head
ing, "a Note Of Warning, )" is most season
able. The writer has ventured the re-
mark more than once that Mr.. NOrwood's
election would not be unattended with
difficulties. Some soreness, it is said, yet
remains towards Mr.. Norwood in certain
sections Of the district, and it is certain
that his civil rights speech in the United
States Senate will be worked for all it is
worth in the Republican camp, where, as
you have wisely said, the dissension
which appears to exist amounts to moth
ing. and will disappear altogether before
the election day.
There can be but one course for the peo-
pie of the South to pursue. Whatever
reasons may exist elsewhere TO induce
men to change their political creed, the
men of the South are separated from the
Republican party by an chronological bar
rier beyond which they can never go.
There is no use in mincing matters-the
political contest in the South is between
the white race on the one hand, and the
African race on the other. On either side
the line is solid, and the term 'sOlid
SOuth'' may be applied with equal prOpri-
ETY. TO the one as to the other. l repeat
that the contest is political, lest / be mis-
understood. Upon all other issues
the two races seem to be at peace, and it
is to be hoped that they will remain So.
But the choice which we Will be called
upon to make in November is between T..
VI. Norwood. on the one hand, and L. NJ.
Pleasant on the other. That is the issue.
All else sinks into insignificance by the
side of it; and it is 70 be hoped that your
timely editorial may arouse the Democ-
racy of the District to the necessity of
making all possible effort for Mr.. Nor
wood, to the end, at least, that the dis
frict NAV be saved from disgrace. i. VI.

The Jewish New Year and How It Is
Observed

Next week Friday viii begin the jew
ish year 56t5. Its opening is one Of the
most solemn festivals of the year in the
Jewish Church. The synagogues are
open, and the services upon the occasion
are always of an impressive character.
The day is called sRosh Hoshannah,"
and Is on the first and second
DAYS Of the month Tishric. 1t
is also called Yom Hazikoron, a
day Of memorial and feasts of trumpets, as
some say in the memory Of the ram en-
tangled by his horns, and offered as a
sacrifice instead of Isaac. 1t is a holy
cOnvOcatiOn on which no servIle work is
to be done. From the first to the tenth are
called PenItential days.
In the service Of the festival y rayers of
a three-fOld nature are Offered-of homage,
Of remembrance and of sounding
the trumpet. These embody
inyOcatiOns that mankind may arrive
at true knowledge of the Creator, His
heneficence, His Omniscience, and His
Providence. Every true Israelite CON-
preheIds the observance of the day with
proper feelings, inherited from childhood.
''And the Lord said unto Moses, saying /:
speak unto the children Of Israel. Say
in the seventh month, and on the first day
Of the month, shall We have
Sabbath, a memorial of blow
ing of trumpets and holy cOnvOca-
ton, and We shall do no serYile work. -
Also in Numbers: "And in the seventh
month and on the first day of the month
shall We have a rest day of memorial,
Of sounding the cOrnet, a holy cOnvoca-
ton; no seTvile work shall We do; a day
OF blowing the cOrnet shall it be unto
you, HOLY unto the Eternaln

FrRsr CArARACr OF THE NrI.E.
One Obstruction in Lord WoIseIey's
Line of Advance


AT first we went very well, and were
beautifully steered first from one rock,
says a Nile letter, then from another,
until we came to the Gate. The crew
raised their oars, and the dahabeah
pitched straight down. The rush and
power Of the water was awful; the only
sound, for every one held his breath for
the moment. All would have been we'll
had the cataract folk stuck TO their oars
and rowed on the left to get the better of
the water the instant the boat regained
its level, for there is only just space
enough TO clear Scylla and Charybdis,
and all depends upon the work Of
a minute. But the pilot steered
badly, the crew saw il, lost
their presence of mind, and dropped their
oars and scampered like monkeys up the
rigging as the water dashed over us; and
bump we went against one rock, then
bump against another. Despairing shrieks
re-echoed through the boat, and all flew TO
the bows; the gentlemen, both passengers
and visitors from another dahabeah who
had come to see the fun, all helping to
bale. We womenkind. thinking this was
temporary delay, an ordinary humping,
took out our paints and began sketching
the wreck of the Sultana as it Law before
US. l had just scrawled ''7:30. We have
bumped" under niue, when up came one
of the gentlemen, gun-case in hand,
saying, 'Get anything you really
care for; we may have to leave the
boat A few seconds after up rushed
the gentleman, crying: ''The water is
gaining rapidly; come instantlyw We
shall never forget the scene. Oh! the
yells, the screams, the confusion. The
one thought of our crew proper was to
save themselves and their goods. The
dragOman turned out the sailors from the
felucca small bOat) TO make room for US,
and in we scrambled, and in a few mo-
ments we were all landed, and the gentle
men returned to the Bessie Camac for the
crew, and then went to and fro as salvage
corps. They worked splendidly, in and
out of water, under a very hot sun, and
with everything against them. No one
was in command. The dragOman had
completely lost his head, the dehabeah
was rapidly fitting over, the natives
swamped the feluccas and crowded the
cabins, the water rushed in, and but for
individual efforts none Of our things
would have been saved. 1t was really
distracting to see the gilt cOrnices, pill
lows, soup dishes, and curtains being
handed out instead of our precious Lares
and Penates. However, two of our sal
wage corps climbed in by the windows,
and handed or threw out our treasures
just as they came, as soon as they had
caught the swimming mattresses which
were blocking up the way. The Arabs
were worse than useless, and the drago-
man beside himself, poor fellow, shaking
all over, and doing nothing.

THE SIGNALS STILL FLYING.
Indications of Bad Weather Along the
Cnast-The CYelone Period.

GOast-Ane Ngctunc II cElO0s
The rain which fell at intervals yester-
dav in nasty drizzling mists made the day
a miserably unpleasant one tor people
who were compelled to be Oft of doors.
Beginning with Tuesday the week thus
far has been a disagreeable one so far as
the weather has been concerned. The
threatening indications Of storm on
Wednesday and the hosting OF
the danger signals at the
Signal Bureau at TyOee, and stations in
the section in which Savannah Is IN
cluded. have been followed by high winds
aud increasing indications OF storm
ever since. The rainfall on "Wednesday
was the heaviest of any day TINS wear,
heinz slightly over , l-6 inches. At Iybee
on "Wednesday night and Thursday morn
ing the wind blew at velocity OF OV
miles an hour. In the city the
highest velocity reached at any time
since the signals were hOisted was "A miles
an hour from the east. 1esterda! there
were indications Of clearing weather our
Ing the morning and the wind blew from
the west and southwest. Towards night
II bagan to yeer 70 the north and at IL
O'Clock was blowing due north. The
barometer during the day was nearly sta
tionary. with a slight gradual tan at
night. At IL O'Clock, however, II was
rising, indicating clearer weather.
The rainfall during the day was con-
siderabIv over half an inch. As the
signal Officer made the final observation
| lasi night he remarked that everything
| looked lovely If the wind and barometer
/ kept all right, but If the barometer Iell
and the wind kept Yeering around until
/ il cot 10 the northeast, then look out for
high weather. The season is In the
! cyclone periOd. and atmospheric dis
| tiIrbances are liable to take place at any
time.
August is the great hurricane month in
/ the West Indies, but this year August
| passed without a single report OF such
/ disturbances in that quarter. since hed'
I field in 1880 began his celebrated inquiry
/ into the origin and movements Of West
| Indian hurricanes no entirely satisfactory
I theory Of their genesis has been pro
/ bounded. and hence no well de
/ fined conditions have been as
/ signed by meteOrOlOgists upon the
| existence of which it can be conf
/ IDENTIFY predicted that a West Indian cy
/ clone will be formed. There are never
/ theless certain meteorological conditions
| which when existent on the American
/ continent favor the passage Of trOplca
/ cyclone into extra-trOpical ATTITUDES. The
i hurricane which was reported on the
\ coast on Wednesday, and which dis
persed and went seaward, may
| be- followed by more violent dis
| turbances. The storm signals are still
/ flying. and incoming vessels YESTERDAY
/ renOrted heavy weather outside. 1t IS,
| therefore. possible that with the change
/ which the observations indicated to b'
| taking place last night there may arlss
storms Of a destructive type. The ship
| ping interests are closely watching tbs
/ meteorological changes all along the coas
/ at this season, and vast Importance is at
/ tached TO all reliable information.

WHAT BASKET CONTAINED.
very Young Stranger Cast on TIL
Tender AIercies of the World.

4 very Young Stranger Cast on the
Tender Mercies of the World.
Last night. a few minutes after 9 O'Clock
tie family Of Charles Y. Richardson, Ly'
ing near the corner of Lincoln and Hall
streets, were startled by the cries Of an
infant at the front door of their house
some one suggested that il was the cat, but
on Opening the door large, round and deel
market basket, with the I'D securely
closed, was revealed to the wondering
gaze Of Mr.. Richardson, who Immediately
raised the lid in the presence OF the other
members Of the family, when large
male infant, apparently not twenty
four hours old, began to yigOr-
OusIy kick its feet and shake Its
hands. aud partially succeeded IN throw
ING of q coarse wooden shawl with which
IL was covered, The child was dressed in
an ordinary slip that was fastened snugiy
10 the body, while beneath was an old
white apron forming an inner lining to
the bottom Of the basket.
AIr. Richardson took the little stranger
to tae E0Iice barracks, placing the basket
and contents as he found it on the table
in front Of Sergt. KillOurhy, the officer on
duty. A second inspection was made and
a messenger sent to Gen. Anderson for
Instructions.
In about half an hour the messenger
returned to the barracks with an order
from Mrs. Ellis directing that the young
stranger be admitted to the Little Minnie
Mission for the night or until other ar
rangements could be made for its accom-
mOdatiOU.
A policeman was detailed to introduce
the infant to the matfon. and on its ar
rival there preparations were ct once
,-a.5o IN make the STAY of the little one as
comfortable as possible under the circum-
stances. There y as no card or address to
Indicate who the person was who heart
Iessly left the founding on such a stormy
night to take Its chances with the cold
charity of the world. Fortunately, char
ity was kindlier in this instance than the
mother Of the infant.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGs.
Bright Flashes of Intelligence from
Near and AfaF.

DrlgnG EIasnes OF AnpellSenCe from
Near and AfaF.
Jacksonville has organized a railroad
company to build a railroad from that
place TO LeatheT's Ford.
Ticket Agent J. c. Shaw, of the Central
Railroad, returned Yesterday from a trip
to the northern part Of the State, on busi-
ness connected with the road.
The Southbound travel over the Atlantic
Coast Line system, and by all the roads
leading to Florida, is on the increase. The
regular winter tide of travel is expected
to open considerably earlier this year than
last.
The grading force on the Columbus and
Rome extension is now within five miles
Of GreenYille, and the track-laying will
reach the same point next week. The
road is being pushed ahead as rapidly as
possible.
Columbus Enquirer: The surveying
corps of the Georgia Midland and Gulf
Railroad have reached the city on their
return trip from Atlanta. The line run
from Atlanta to Columbus is 1913 $40
miles, about four miles shorter than that
run from Columbus TO Atlanta. Engineer
Trammell has not completed his estimates,
and cannot say accurately what the COM
narrative cost of the two routes will be.
HIP says that the cost of grading the road
from the Warm Springs to Atlanta will be
comparatively small, while from this city
to the Warm Springs it will not be I'M
usually heavy. The line will not be
located until the right-of-way is secured,
which the directors propose to do at once.
