The Blizzard Breeding West VS.. the
Sunny South.

The Blizzard West VS.. the
Sunny South.
A few weeks ago Kansas was visited by
a terrible blizzard, and at the time it was
reported that many people were frozen to
death The report WAS afterward denied,
although it was probably correct. Kansas
has been greatly benefited by immigration
for some years, and to have allowed the
report to go uncontrolled would have
had damaging effect upon the State. At
any rate whether there were any deaths or
not, Kansas was not a pleasant place to be
in at that time, and it was not safe to pur-
sue outdoor work.
The blizzard in Montana and Dakota Ter
ritories Minnesota and Iowa within the
last day or two seems to have been even
worse than that in Kansas. Business is
suspended, railroad traffic is at a standstill
and it is about as much as one can do to
keep reasonably comfortable indoors, while
death is cutting pretty wide swath among
those who have to face the weather. At
one point in Montana the thermometer went
down to So below zero.
Such bitter weather calls attention, by
contrast, to our Southern climate, and par
ticularly to that of Georgia and Florida
There is some cold weather IN portions of
Georgia during the winter, but the people
can carry on their business at all times, and
none who is able to take common precau-
tions against cold need fear freezing. It is
a very unusual occurrence for the thermom-
eter to register as low as zero in any part of
the State, and in this immediate section
freezing weather is by no means common.
In Florida, the climate is even milder, and
at this time, when people are freezing to
death in the section named. Sub-Tropical
Exposition, in which fruits and flowers
form the principal display, is being held in
Jacksonville.
1t seems remarkable that immigrants
should go to Kansas and other States where
they must inevitably suffer great incon-
venience and hardship, not to say risk of
life, from cold weather when Georgia and
Florida, presenting every advantage and
devoid of some disadvantages of the section
in question, are ready to receive them.
Kansas has probably derived more benefit
from immigration in the past few years
than Georgia and Florida combined, and
yet there is here scarcely anything under
the sun that the soil will not produce.
Florida is not capable of as varied results
as this State, but she possesses conditions
peculiar to herself An equable climate
and fertile and accommodating soil are
not to be despised in seeking a home, and
persons should reflect before they choose
Kansas and Iowa in preference to Georgia
and Florida.

One of "Nat" Goodwin's Franks.
krom the Chicnno Time.

THAT reminds me of the night was out with
Nat Goodwin" said the tall Board of Trade
man. There's a fellow to make fun for you.
We were going down to Kinsleys, and over on
Dearborn street, where everything was quiet
we saw young couple just ahead of us-going
home, probably from their after-theatre sup
per.
If that fellow has any grit in him. said Nat,
III make him solid with that girl
With this he took me by the arm, and we
hurried along and overlook the couple. In pass
ing them Nat gave the young chap push, and
looking squarely at him said:
What are you going to do about it?'
THE young man spurred right up to Nat, and
was going to thrash him, when Nat pulled me
by the arm and we both turned and ran.
There. said Nat, wont that make MN SOLID
with his girl? She thinks he frightened away a
couple of big bullies who were just going to eat
them both up'''

DR.. Falligant on House Drainage.


The invitation given TO DR.. Falligant and
Mr. George E. Warning by number of our
leading citizens, and published in another
column, to deliver public lectures in illus
tration of their several plans for the house
drainage of this city, is a gratifying ex-
hibition of the increasing interest being
taken by our citizens in the safeguards
necessary for the protection of our lives,
and TO insure the prosperity of our city.
The objects proposed TO be obtained by both
gentlemen are the same-their difference
being as TO the most practical, economical
and wisest method of obtaining them.
Mr. Warnings plans are said to involve
very considerable use of the strcets-an I'M
pOrtant matter for consideration where
pavements have 10 be torn up to put the
pipes down or make repairs, connections
across the streets, etc. Indeed, on wide
streets, a pipe on each side would seem to
be less expensive to tho lot owners than "A
pipe in the centre. Besides, Mr. Warnings
plans for flushing the drains limit the sup
ply Of water to the quantity emptied by his
automatic tanks at long intervals.
DIR. Falligants plans provide specially for
laying these drains III the lanes, making one
central lane-drain serve the two abutting
blocks or series of blocks, and having at
command the immense flushing conveniences
and supply obtainable from the Savannah
river and the standpipe in Franklin square,
the water being distributed to the heads of
the lane-drains at West Broad street by
means Of a flushing main on that street.
BY using the lanes there would also be little
need of tearing up streets in future in this
work
As the utility and safety of any system of
house drainage depend absolutely upon its
facilities for frequent and thorough flush
ing and cleansing, and as the facilities pro-
posed by DR.. Falligant seem to be adequate,
there appears to be no occasion for saying
anything further on that point,
but as the securing of sufficient
gradefalls is a matter of prime importance,
the Doctor proposes to show how easily and
perfectly such grade falls can be obtained.
His lecture will be free and will be deliv-
cred at Masonic Hall on next Tuesday even
ing, Jan. "a, at 8 o'clock. The subject so
vitality involves the prosperity of the city
and the health of its inhabitants that every
lot owner should make it point to be pres
ent.

Mr.. Lamar's Family Connections.

Mr.. Lamar who has just been confirmed
Supreme Court, is remembered with affec-
ton by the older people of his native coun-
ty, in this State. Col r. B. Nisbet, of
Eatonton, who for many years has been an
intimate friend of Mr.. Lamar and his
family, furnishes some facts Of his early life
that are not generally known. Mr.. Lamar's
family was of South Carolina Huguenot
origin, and his father was a distinguished
Georgia jurist in his day. Two of his
aunts were Mrs McGhee, of Eufaula, Ala,
and Mrs. Chappell, mother of Muscogee's
Representative in the Legislature, and one
of his uncles was Mirabeau B. Lamar, who
distinguished himself in the Texas revolu-
ton and was President of that
republic before its admission into
the Union as a State The newly
confirmed Associate Justice bears his
fathers full name-Lucius Quintius Cincin-
natus, and was born in 1925. He first
married daughter of Judge Longstreet,
the author of Georgia Scenes" and soon
afterward left Georgia to accept professor
ship in the University of Mississippi, of
which his father-in-law had been elected
President. 1t was in Macon, Ga, where he
was studying law under his uncle. Col
Chappell, that he had his love affair with
his present wife. Like all of his family be-
fore him, he is subject to moods of depres-
sion, from which he will arouse himself and
make some startling intellectual effort
