The Khyo Gang.
Savannah News. !

NaVahhah News.
About eight years ego the WHO
gang was organized in the Fourth
and Sixth wards of New York. Its
membership was composed of men
and youths from among the crimi>
nal classes, and its object was to
steal and to commit highway rob-
berry. There was no peculiar form
to be gone through with in order
to become member, aud the only
qualification required was the abil-
ity to get away with the property
OF other people. Even young boys
who had learned to steal, were adj
mitted to membership, and were
given opportunities of showing
their fitness for places in the peni,
tertiary.
Tor time the whyos held high
carnival. They stole from public
and private houses, robbed men
on the street, and frequently com
mitted murder. The organization
waxed strong, and became a terror
to respectable people, But after
a while the members foun serious
obstacles in the way of continu-
ance OF lawlessness. One by one
they were arrested, tried, convict-
ed AID sentenced Co the penitenti>
airy, Their ranks began to be
thnned out, Que of their nuns

Blue Blood.

is blue blood? j. S. G.
The pure arterial blood is dark
red. The Spanish expression "blue
blood like "true blood" and sy-
nonomous terms. refers to a purity
OF standard by long training, the
result being an elevated mental,
moral and physical condition. The
term b ne blood, in this country, is
applied to those people who are the
descendants Of persons who have
distinguished themselves in the his
tory 0! the state or the country.
As a general rule, those who have
the best claim to blue blood say the
least about it. 1he pretensions OF
some persons to an honored ancestry
are wholly fictitious. and can he
easily refuted by those familiar
witt. genealogical records. The de-
scendants of the Puritans of Mas
sachusetts, the Kniekerbocllers of
New York, the English of Virginia
and the Huguenots OF South Caro-
limo, who are now in the sixth and
seventh generations, represent the
blue blood OF this country. Perhaps
the very oldest English family are
the Fields, who trace their origin
beck to William the Conquerer.
The YuIces, of Florida, who are,
we believe, Spanish Jews, have
record of over i, 600 years, and, as
the Jews are the ollest people on
earth, some one of them may be
able to trace his descent from Ahra.

of the Republican County Committee to-
day, shudder TO think how that Ma

tinued: " / have had some experience in

The valuation of property in that coun-
ty is 81 1892, 755. AT the present rate for
State taxation the people Of St. Johns
would pay on this valuation $7,97Os6. If
the Radicals were in power, with their
State tax levy of l2a mills on the dollar,
the tax payers of STU ohns would pay State
taxes to the amount of s24 ,9Os 49, But the
State of Florida is blessed with an honest
and economical Democratic administra-
tion, and the property owners of st. Johns
county thus save $l6,93s.O7 State taxes
for one year. In the three years last past
they have saved in State taxes 500, 7OO.27

What Pasnam Gains.

The assessed valuation of property in
Putnam county for 1887 was $780,
504. The present rate for State taxes
including one mill school tax-is 4 mills,
which would make the State tax under
the present Democratic rate *l6,522.ol.
The last three years of Republican rule
in Florida the rate for State taxation was
l24 mills. Were the Republicans in
power now, and l21 mills the rate for
State taxes, the people Of Putnam
county would pay State taxes to the
amount of ISL ,63l.3O, or *35, 1929 more
than they are assessed under honest
Democratic rule This is what the peo-
pie of Putnam gain in a single year.
Taking the past three years their net
gain in State taxes is $1OO,542. "a.
The true Democrats of Putnam know
this, they appreciate it, and will work and
vote accordingly.
