al Joh Gor Our Congressmen.

Nearly three years ago, March ., 1901,
after considerable effort on the part
of those interested in this port,
an appropriation was made by Con-
gress Of $4,000 for lighting the Sa-
vannah river and harbor. The plan
adopted provided for the erection of y
range lights. Two were to be placed on
Daufuskie Island, and the others at points
between the island and Fort Jackson.
Some difficulty and a great deal of delay
were experienced in securing the necessa-
nv sites. Those on the Georgia side of the
river were, however, finally secured. But
the Lighthouse Board was not salts
fed with the titles to the sites. An
act was passed by the Georgia Legisla-
ture condemning the land. In South
Carolina there appears to have been some
difficulty in securing acceptable titles to
the sites on the Carolina side of the river,
and although there is a statute in that
State providing for cOndemning property
required for public use, nothing positive
has been done except the erection of two
lights on Daufuskie Island-the land on
which they are located being, we believe,
owned by citizens OF Savannah.
The materials for the construction of the
light houses have been stored in Castle
Pmckney. Charleston harbOr, for over a
year, and it seems as though they are des-
tined to remain there for years unless an
effort is ma de to induce the Lighthouse
Board to take some action in this matter.
Last summer a representative of the
Ocean Steamship Company went to Balti-
more to urge that steps be taken at once
to carry out the purpose for which the APP
preparation was made. Gen. O.. f. Bah
cock, Engineer in charge of the Sixth
Lighthouse Distsict, stated that the delay
was owing to the fact that the
titles to the land in South Caro-
lima were not yet satisfactory,
and that he was afraid to undertake
the building of the lighthouses on the
Georgia side because it would cost so
much more to do the work that the apprO-
priatiOn would not be sufficient to COM
plete it. He said, however, that if by the
first of LASH October, the sites IN South
Carolina were not satisfactorily settled
he would erect the lights on the Georgia
side. Three months, however, have
elapsed since the date when the work was
to have been begun and nothing has yet
been done. 1t would be well for our city
authorities and the corporate bodies in
terested in the commerce of Savannah to
urge upon our Representatives in Con-
gress the necessity of insisting that there
shall be no further delay in this matter
What is needed is that our Senators and
Representatives shall stir the Light
house Board up and insist that the cree
ton of the lighthouses shall begin forth
with.

Almost every day we see articles on the
increase of insanity, and many reasons
are advanced to explain it. The truth
probably is that the number of insane
persons in the country is not any greater
in proportion to population than it
was fifty years ago, except among
the negroes. There is no disputing the
fact, however, that much greater num-
Der appears in the statistical reports, but
this is doubtless because the asylum ac-
commodatiOns are more extensive than
formerly, and thousands are now admit
ted for treatment who were rejected few
years ago. The negroes, since the war,
have been peculiarly subject to insanity.
The reason is, no doubt, the difficulties
and responsibilities which selfdepend-
ence throws upon naturally weak mind
ed race. During the days of slavery,
idiotic negroes were not uncommon, but
negro lunatic was uncommon.

a Stabbing ARRAY.

y pretty serious stabbing affray oc-
Cured in our city last Saturday even
ing between ten and eleven o'clock.
Mr.. Andrew Mcconnell, son-in-law
of Mr.. Martinau, with whom he lives,
found two Finlandrs hanging about
the premises and ordered them away.
This was earlier than the hour men,
toned. Atterward Mcconnell went
down to Mr.. Roy store and on his re-
turn again found the men inside the
yard and ordered them off. They
made some reply which he did not
understand but showed no disposition
to 90, when Mcconnell took them
both by the shoulder and tried to push
them through the gate, but in mo-
ment he was assaulted by both men,
one Of them drawing a large knife.
Mcconnell knocked the man who had
no knife down, and then tried to get
board from the fence or near it
with which to defend himself from the
other one, but failing to get the board
tried to jump across the ditch by the
sidewalk and get out Of the way, but
before he could do so his assailant, one
Dalton by name, struck him i'll the
back the knife penetrating just below
the shoulder blade, going through IL
coat, vest and two shirts and entering
the body to depth Of nearly two
inches and cutting cash three inches
long; another blow aimed at his throat
or breast struck him on the left arm
making an ugly though not dangerous
wounl |, when the cries for help drove
the assaIlant away. The wounded man
was taken to the office Of Dr. +. T.
Gauvreau who dressed the wounds and
made him rs comfortable as possible,
and it is not thought that his injuries
will prove to be fatal. Subsequently
the two men were arrested and lodged
in the lock up until Monday morning
when they were brought out for ex-
animation The examination was
continued for ten days as it was
thought the injured man would not
be able to appear in court sooner.
Such characters should be dealt with
promptly and severely. The prisoners
give their names rs John Dalton and
John Berquest.
