BUSINESS METHODS.
Opening OF the Commercial Year-HoW
to Make a Good Beginning.

Opening OF the Commercial Year-HOw
to Make a Good Beginning.
It is customary in the cotton growing
States to date the business year from
Sept. 1. Everyone looks forward to the
time when the business pulse quickens
and new life is given to trade. One ofthe
means used to give business a good start
at the beginning OF the business year is
advertising. The enterprising mer-
chant uses the columns of the news
paper 70 inform his patrons that he is
still in the land Of the living; that he has
weathered the dull season, and again
solicits their trade. The newspaper pub
nsher uses the opening OF the season TO
review the business of the past year, and
70 give his city a frst-class boom.
Trade editions are published and widely
distributed for the benefit largely of those
who advertise in them.
In such editions business men, whether
merchants, mechanics or manufacturers,
ought TO bring their business before the
public.
Such advertising may not, in every case
be productive Of immediate results, but
A. will give their business houses a stand
ng abroad that they cannot otherwise OBJ
tain.
No enterprising business man OF this
city who expects to prosper can afford 10
leave an announcement Of his business
out Of the Trade Edition OF the MORNING
NEWS. This edition will be issued on
Sept. 8. No efforts will be spared to make
it such an edition as every savannahian
win have reason to be proud OF.

A Matin Song.

The shrimp is "feeble folk" but not
altogether as unimportRDt as a great
many suppose. The number or people in
this country who sustain themselves BY
catching and selling shrimps probably
runs into the thousands. When enc has
been at work late at night and is little
nervous next morning be is very apt to
| feel like there are q thousand shrimp
| hucksters In Savannah alone. There
seems TO be almost a constant cry for
an hour or so every morning-"d ere's
your very nice shrimp, shrimp,
shrimp, here's your shrimp" Very often
the cry assumes the semblance Of song,
but the tune is never agreeable nor the
tone melodIous. What music there IS il
it may be compared TO that produced by R
comb band, only it is usually much
/ louder. Sometimes three or four Of the
sable females go the rounds together or
cross each others routes in such a man
ner as to produce a regular saw-tiling
chorus.
There is one curious thing about these
shrimp hucksters. They never seem to
| sell anything, but they are always on the
pad, and their energy never relaxes.
! and their spirits never appear to droop.
Perhaps it is enough for them to know
that they break the sleep of the sluggards
and feel the sweet consciousness Of duty
performed. Virtue is often said to be its
own reward.
some months ago the people Of savan-
nah were almost crazed by the steam
let Ia .
and cotton factory people and others hay
ing control OF engines only yielded what
they claimed to be something analogous
to the alleged divine right Of kings when
riot seemed to be pending. Now the
shrimp hucksters are lifting up their lib
erty bell voices at our very doors and
windows, and making morning hideOus
with their Sheolic songs. 1t does seem
like it ought to be crime against the
public morals TO cause people TO awake
mornings with their teeth on edge, ard
their tempers 50 upset that the harmony
OF the family is broken by rasping Ian
guage fol- at least halt the day.
IL that most excellent lady, who takes
deep interest in the improvement of
colOred females, Mrs. Hayes, would en-
ploy music teachers to instruct the
shrimp bucksters OF Savannah, she might
earn the lasting gratitude of all classes
of our people. If the ''Here's your
shrimp-shrimp, very nice shrimp" were
only sung in melodious tone
our gentle housewives would be lured. as
it were, from their sweet morning maps,
while their lords would sleep on, and, in
stead of snappily ordering their maids to
haste to the butcher for steak, they
would from gratitude alone, if from no
other motive, purchase a supply OF the
crimson orustaceans, the day would be
/ begun tremendously, peace and love
would bless the household, and the whole
course Of life would be changed for the
! better.
/ A prominent person, whose name has
! slipped through tae chinks Of memory
once said: 'Let me hear the songs of a
people, and that is all | want to know
about them," or words to that effect. 1t
is to be hoped that person never was so
unfortunate as to hear the song of the
shrimp hucksters of Savannah.

A New York letter says that Rev. Nor
gan Dix, OF Trinity church, who has Just
returned home from visit to Sewanee,
Tenn, is quite enthusiastic over the posi-.
ton and prospects OF the Episcopal "Uni-
versity Of the South" at that place. He
says: "There is no such word as fail for
Sewanee, but at the same time there is
urgent need for such aid as will enable 1t
TO enlarge the sphere OF its usefulness.

loving thoughts aud minds inspired TO

From the Portland Oregonian.


A day or two since Mr. Warren, a farmer
residing few mites from Oregon City, killed
a lamb. After competing the job he acct
dentally dropped his knife and cut hole in
the int shines, when he saw tapeworm pro-
trudiDg He extract d il and found it over
30 feet in length. He laid the disgusting
creature aside, and It dried up to a thin mem
brane and was broken up and blown away by
the wind. He has been killing sheep for
many years, and never saw or heard of a
tapeworm in one before, and would like to
know if any one has The lamb was in good
condition. and to all a pearance healthy
The tapewOrm is found in human be-
ings, dogs, hogs, cats. etc, but
was not supposed 70 exist in herb
ivorous animals. 1t is very singular crea-
ture, existing in the ahmentary canal of an

digested food around it. When 1t has obtain

In doub!e-leaded article, urging the
importance to Atlanta of the proposed
Georgia Midland railroad, the Atlanta
Constitution says: "Atlanta never
needed a boom more than she does right
now She has overgrown herself, and
things are disposed to settle back little.
This tendency may be seen in the number
Of empty stores and houses"
1t seems from these statements OF the
Constitution that Atlanta is not quite so
prosperous as it is generally believed she
is. We are sincerely sorry that this is the
case. Atlanta has had q wonderful
growth, and we should like to see her CON
tinue to be prosperous. She is the capital
of the State, and that is another reason
why we should regret to see her showing
indications OF declining prosperity.
We refer to the "empty houses and
stores" OF Atlanta and the disposition o,
things there ''to settle back a little" only
to emphasize the fact that here, where
there is not near so much blowing for
the town az there ought to be, there is q
healthy, solid prosperity that is very
gratifying.
1t is not an easy thing to do TO md
empty dwelling houses or stores in Savan.
nah. Indeed, there is pretty steady and
an increasing demand for dwelling houses,
and number of new stores now being
built are already rented.
With the prospect of very large cotton
receipts the coming season, and with the
prospect OF Il good trade in all branches
Of business, Savannah has probably less
reason to complain than any other city in
the State.

MIR. Randall and the Appropriations
Committee.


The talk about abolishirg the Appro-
priations Committee of the House, and
transferring its work to the Committee on
Ways and Means, is not worth much con-
sideration. 1t is probable that there is
no serious intention ON the part OF any
influential member of the House to pro-
pose anything of that kind.
1t is said that the proposition to abolish
the Appropriations Committee was sug-
gested az an effective way TO weaken
Mr.. Handalfs influence in tho House
Mr.. Randall was the Chairman of the
Appropriations Committee Ia the last
Congress, and there is no doubt that he
made a most excellent Chairman. The
Appropriations Committee, although not
regarded as the most important commit
tee OF the House, exercises, perhaps,
more influence than any other, because 1t
holds the purse strings Of the govern
ment.
But why should it be deemed necessary,
in order TO lessen Mr.. Randalps impOr-
lance, to abolish a great committee? Can
not he be kept out ofan influential position
without resorting TO such a proceeding 4,
To assume that he cannot is TO admit tina {
no man can be elected Speaker without
his help, and that it is impossible to pre-
vent him from having himself named as
chairman OF the Appropriations Commit
tee.
1t is probable that Mr.. Randall will be
chairman OF the Appropriations Commit
tee Of the next House, not because he can
command it, but because he is one of
the most prominent OF the Democratic
leaders, and his long experience in legis-
latiye matters, his congressional service,
and his ability entitle him to IL.
To abolish the Appropriations Commit
tee, or 10 refuse to make him Chairman OF
It, would not weaken his influence with
the small faction OF Democratic protec-
tl0nlsts who recognize his leadership.
Indeed, II would rather strengthen him,
because 10 would call attention 10 him aud
arouse sympathy for him.
Mir. Randall doesn't yet his prominence
from the Appropriations Committee To
abolish that committee, therefore, would
not make him o man Of less consequence.
