Our county Democratic convention, for
the purpose Of electing delegates O the
state convention which meets in FJrt

tae 18th instant. In this connection i,
can be said that some time since thu C,n.
missloners' court OF this county, By vote
OF three to two, decided after mature de-
berati0n to have 8 new courthouse
This course wss dictated from the fact
that two grand j1ries and a number Of
experts had make thorough examination
OF the present structure and pronounced
IT unsafe. Since tais action by the Com
missioners' court quite feeling has been
Created throughout the county IN opposi-
ton to the new courthouse. The m sin
objective urged Is that 1. will In.
Crease the taxes. An attempt,
whether 1t will be succession
or not, will be made to bring the question
before the Democratic convention next
Sasu' day, and . great many Simon pure
Democrats are now puzzting their brains
to discover how question Of this kind
can be considered 81 Democratic con-

The House Drainage Question.

The question of inaugurating general
plan Of house drainage in this city has been
discussed for several years, but up to tn is
time nothing has been done in beginning
this very necessary public work. Is it not
time for discussion to cease. and for work
to beginl
It's elevation above the surrounding coun-
try and its proximity to numerous large
water courses make Savannah a city where
a perfect system of drainage would be a
matter of moderate expense. In addition.
the lanes of the city afford avenues through
which pipes could be laid without disturb
ing gas or water mains. and without inter
fering with traffic.
The MORNING NEWS is welded to no
mans idea upon this question, but from a
careful examination of the plans prepared
by DR.. Falligant it is Of the opinion that
his system of drainage deserves to be
closely examined and carefully considered
by those in authority. 1t is stated that the
system in question can be carried out at
much less cost to the city than any other
that has been named-notablY than that
Of that distinguished sanitary engineer
Mr.. Waring, the cost of whose system is
placed at SIS, 900, while the time required
for its completion, it is said, would be
about two years.
Would it not be well for the city council
to make an examination Of DR.. Falligant's
plans and estimates9 If the members Of
that body are not prepared to act on their
own Judgment in the matter, they could
ask the advice of experienced engineers as
to its practicabilIty. and they could also
get estimates of tho cost of piping and of
/ the work to be done.
Besides saving thousands Of dollars to
property owners, a good system of house
drainage would improve the healthfulness
of the city. With such a safeguard to the
public health, the people would have conf
dence in the security of their homes from
disease, and there would be no necessity Of
expending large sums of money in tempo
rary and doubtful experiments in local sani-
tation, the chief result of which probably is
TO allay the fears Of those who do not know
how Intellectual preventives are when danger
really threatens.

Undeceiving a Trusting Child.


Yes said board of trade man to a friend
yesterday, 81 wish could make big winning
on this wheat market. l need it in order to
square myself with my little son this coming
Christmas. had to fool him last year as corn
did me up and was broke when he hung up his
stocking. Along about September he came to
me and said, in his ingenious way: Pop,
want you to have Santa Claus bring me a pony
this year. and a suit of clothes, and drum and
a sword and some candy and fruit Well, it
was only September and ] had an idea that corn
would help me out before snow few, so told
him would fly 1t with KriSs Kringle for him.
But corn kept on fooling me- and by Dec /
! mad to borrow car fare. One bright morn
ing about two weeks before Christmas, the boy
came to me and asked me if l had
thought to inform Santa Claus of his
wishes thought it had come to a show down,
50 tooh MIN up on my knee, ran my fingers
through his curly hair, and said: Johnny, you
are now about years old, and it is time to un-
learn some of childhood's fables. This story
about Santa Claus is very pretty one to tell
little boys in skirts and very little girls, but
now that you have put on breeches think it
my duty to disabuse your mind of these baby
| legends and to tell you that there is no such
| person as Santa Claus. l have always been
Santa Claus to you, and have always bought
| you everything that you have thanked Santa
Claus for. But this year 1 am poor, my boy,
and though will try to give you some small
presents, l cannot afford to get you all you ask
| for Itell you, old man. it was lard to unde-
| ceive that trusting child, and it cut me to the
| heart to see the tears we'll up and dim his clear
| blue eyes, as he realized the truth-the sad
| truth. His tiny hand claSped my thumb with a
| convulslve grasp, he dashed away the fast
coming tears, looked me full in the eye, and
asked: Pop, have you been stringing me in the
same way about JeSuSS'"

Still Unrepentant.
From the Chicaoo Time,


Tom Foley, the wellknown hilliardst was in
his prime on the top wave of success when
Dwight L. Moody came TO Chicago for the first
time to hold his revival meetings One day,
while Tom was behind his bar, having gone in
to help his men out during the noon rush, the
door opened and in came Moody. He walked
straight up to the bar, and Tom, who did not
know him, chased a little beer off the ma
nogany with towel and asked:
"What'l it be. sir!"
The evangelist pulled a letter from his pocket
and said: Mr.. Foley, am glad that you have
decided to come over to us. l have your note
here"
You have no note of mine that amt able
to take up said Tom, eyeing him as though
he thought him deputy sheriff with an execu-
ton. who are you, anyway
Il am Moody, the evangelst-don't swear in
my presence, young man!f'
We'll, " said Tom, Il think one way and you
think another-Ill go my way and you 20
yours What's thatY l never wrote you any
note. Some of the gang have been kidding
you"
The evangelist tore up the note and walked
sadly out Some of the boys had signed Toms
name to 1t and haG written that he had at
tended Moody meeting, desired to reform and
give up his business, and solicited the call that
the evangelist made.
