New Business for Savannah.

Charleston 10 rejoicing over the COM
pletiOn of the Spartanburg and Asheville
railroad because it brings her within ten
the other side of the Blue Ridge.
Savannah has a closer connection with
Spartanburg by way of the Central rail-
road and its branches than Charleston
has. The roads which make this connec.
ton were completed very lately, and the
route between Savannah and Spartan
burg hasn't been opened for business long.
The work of building these connecting
lines was accomplished 30 quietly that
the public was hardly aware of their
existence until attention was called 10
them, and to the country tributary to
them by correspondent OF the MORNING
NEWS in a series of interesting letters.
The region which is penetrated by these
new lines of railroad is wonderfully at
tractive. 1t has advantages that ought to
make it one of the most prosperous sec
tions of the country. The soil is fertile,
and when properly cultivated produces
abundantly. Too much cannot be said
in favor of the climate. 1t possesses great
equabiity and is healthful. The water is
excellent,
From the territory opened by these new
connections of the Central Savannah may
reasonably expect very good business.
Her merchants are already sending drum
mers to it. They propose to have their
share of it's business.
There is one thing which should be
done, and it is understood the Central
railroad proposes dong it. A fast train
should be put on the route between Sa.
vannah and Spartanburg, so that travel.
ers leaving here in the morning may ar.
rive at Spartanburg IN the afternoon OF
the same day. A train of this
sort would benefit Augusta as well as
this city. In fact, Augusta would receive
double benefit, because she would then
have fast train in this direction-which
she has long wanted-as well as in the di.
rectiOn of Spartanburg.

Primus was first in the days OF the
Crsars, ard so far as producing the first
bale OF cotton in Georgia is concerned,
Col. Primus W. Jones, of the county Of
Baker, has been the winner for 10 these
many years. Now he has pressed the
season so as to surpass even Texas in
soonness.
The first bale this year was shipped to
Atlanta, and that city seems to be very
proud Of being so hone ved. Prlmus used
to send his first bales to Macon, put after
the novelty of the thing wore off the Ma
con buyers began to hurt his feelings by
insinuatng that his cotton was little too
previous. Then he sent it by way of
Albany to savannah, but last year the Sa-
yannah Cotton Exchange boldly charged
that this first bale was pulled before it
was ripe. 1t is said that one incautious
cotton man had his finger scalded by pok-
ing it IN the gimlet hole from which the
sample, or plug" rather, was taken.
Atlanta now takes its turn in this first
bale business, and receives the alleged
honor with gratitude, but not with hui
initiation. 1t announces the event from
the house tops, blows great blast on the
gush horn, and triumphantly proclaims to
the world the conclusive proof of its own
yerdancy. 1.-THE early bird catches the
worm" and Primus is now, no doubt,
gloating over his success in capturing
the great green caterpillar of the Chatta-
hoOchee.
Col. Jones, however, is an early man.
He has early land, plants early seed, uses
early guano, buys none but early mules,
and hires only early laborers. He is
really one Of the most progressive, en-
ergetic and intelligent planters in the
State, and can send in the first bale of
sure-enough cotton in Georgia two years
out of three. If he could only be cured
OF the tirst-bale mania, he might enjoy an
even more enviabe distinction than he
now has, but whether this can be done or
not, he is to DO congratulated in that he
has found place where his first bale can
hopefully plead:
Don't view me with a critics eye
But pass my lmperfections by"

having taken the first formal step towards
securing the election Of delegates TO
Democratic conventions in Georgia on

practicable. Mr.. Bishop, Of Eastman, the
chairman OF the committee, is an

advocates Of this reform, which was
suggested by the MORNING NEWS some

dorsed by the press and prominent Demo-
Gratis in nearly every part OF the State.
The action OF the Executive Committee OF
the Fourteenth district should be an
example to those OF other districts, and it
is TO be hoped that in the future the state
and Congressional committees will adopt
the suggestion.

Young James Blank, whose father is among
the lionaires, lounged into a tailor shop
some weeks ago and ordered a suit OF clothes.
The suit was sent to the young mans hotel ,
but of course the tailor got no money for 1t.
A few days ago, as Master james was passing
by the tailor shop, the bland proprietor hailed
him with smile:

have this suit again unless you liquidate the

Young Master James begged hard for his
clothes, but the tailor Wa4 inexorable, and
much to his disgust he resumed his winter
garments and departed.

The able and discriminating Rome
Courier fails to see wherein Morrison's
tariff bill is any more a "free trade"
measure than that OF Randall. 1t says:
"Both provide for the abolition OF the
duties on a few srticles-raw materials
and 10 this extent only, IN which they
stand on the same footing, does either
make an approach to free trade Both
propose some reductions in the duties,
the difference being that Morrison's bill
would reduce the tariff on a few of the
necessaries OF life, while Randal's reduc-
tons would be made In the interest Of
manufacturers, as well as some higher
duties which he proposes" The cry OF
"free trade is somewhat like the cry Of
"wolf' IN the fable, but It is gratifying to
know that il is not deceIving any one now
except those who want to be deceived.
The person who cannot see the difference
between Democratic taritfreform and free
trade is either a fool or a Republican par
tisan, though he may wear a very thin
disguise.

Daisies on III. Farm.

From IeDds SiftiRgs.
She painted them on canvas
With rapt, arIlstlc air,
She wore them in her bodice,
And in her raven hair.
She thought farm life idyllic,
And said its greatest charm
Was lent ii by the daisies,
The daisies on the farm.
"DO you not love the dalsies"
TO the farmers son she saith,
But all the praise he uttered
Was underneath his breath.
1t sounded energetic,
But she felt a vague alarm
That he did not love the daisies,
The daisies on the farm.
She read to him poem,
A pastoral completes;
He seemed unsympathetic,
Though her voice was very sweet.
With some repressed emotion
His face grew dark and warm,
For it's burden was the daisies,
The daisies on the farm.
Soon the charming summer board der
TO her city homereturned,
For a soul of higher longing
Her 9athetlc nature yearned.
And the farmers son. uudaunted,
With his scythe upon his arm,
Went to battle with the daisies,
The DAISIES on the farm.

Senator sherman, in his speech in the
Payne bribery case, said that he did not
believe the charges against Senator Payne
were true, but he wanted them investi-
gated simply to show that they were false.

Sherman TO take. 1t looks very much as

tors Of Ohio, aud that they had bulldozed
him into taking it.
He IS standing Presidential candidate,
but without the assistance OF the Repub-
lican editors of Ohio he couldn't get the

men had the courage to act in accordance

Senator sherman is man of great
ability, and has had prominent part in

and yet he dare not always do what he
knows to be right.
Why should committee OF the Senate
devote weeks to investigating charges
which have already been fully investi-

ton? AS far as it is possible TO
see the only thing desired by those
