A leyel-headed correspondent, in the
Land Advertiser, published at India
napolis, Ind, makes the following SEN
sible remarks in a communication to
that paper:
The South need have no fears from a
large immigration of any kind, even
tourists. Tourists themselves are good
advertisers for State when there is
any thing to advertise. The great
trouble with the South to day is that
her lands are held by too few persons
in too large bodies. Place these lands
in the possession of the many and the
problem will be largely solved. The
many come through emigration, and
emigration comes by making known
the vaiuablepess of the land How
shall we make known the value of the
land Simply by advertising by
printers ink. There is no other rapid
way, and none SO certain. Until the
South does advertise in q bOuntifnl way
the stranger will not come in Numbers.
The speculator and the large land
holder are alone to be dreaded. Once
our lands are divided up into small
farms and occupied by families of mod
crate means, honest and thrifty, then
our day of prosperity has dawned, and
then, and then only, will the South
bloom as the rose. Advertising will
bring these, and in no other way will
they come in large way.

INDIGNANT PROPERTY OWNERS
To Organize Real Estate Protective
Association.

Metropolitan Hall held two meetings OF
indignant real estate owners last night.
After the adjournment of the Liberty street
protesters, number of the largest real
estate owners of the city met to discuss the
propriety, or rather the necessity, of organ
izing a real estate protective association.
The meeting did not result In an organlza-
ton: that was left to be consummated next
Friday night, when all real estate holders
in the city are invited to be present.
The tax assessment system was caus-
tically discussed, aud it was held TO be
very unsatisfactory way for two or three
men to drive up in front of piece OF prop
erty, look wise and then guess at what 1T is
worth.
The quarantine system was handled with
out gloves. 1t was argued that If Savan-
nah's quarantine regulations were as reason
able as those of New York and Charleston,
she would be the port Of entry for all the
island fruits. which she could put into CHI
cago forty-eight hours earlier than
any other city on the coast. The manner in
which the importation of coffee wss stopped
was also alluded to. The health of the city
depends upon its local sanitation. If its
sewers are not kept free infectious diseases
will follow, and there is no reason why "a
vannah should be more restrictive than
other seaport cities whose health records
are maintained, and whose commercial in
terests are not crippled by too rigid quar-
antine.
The method of assessments to pay for
street paving came in for a general de-
nuncation, the prevailing opinion being
that the paving should be done only by
general taxation. There are many who
make thousands of dollars every year, live
in rented houses and have the use and bene-
fit OF the streets, keep their revenues in
bonds and coupons and other securities, and
escape taxation for the most burdensome of
all city improvements, the street service
The burdens fall upon real estate owners,
and it is time, the speakers generally urged,
that an organization should be effected for
the purpose of bringing about reform.

AT THE THEATER.
Michael Strogoff" the Next Attrac-

The present week has been without a sin

will open with michael Strogoff," one of
the strongest plays on the stage. The sale
of reserved seats will begin at Davis Bros.
tomorrow morning. The play is largely
spectacular, but its dramatic features are
those which appeal most strongly to the
sympathy and delight of the spectators.
Michael StrogoP' is, therefore, an
exceptional spectacular drama by rea-
son of its having a leading mo-
tive that is never lost sight of, even
in its most gorgeous settings. The
plot, which is familiar to all readers of the
equally facile and fascinating Jules Verne,
needs no detailed description. The plot
bristles with swords, and reverberates with
bombs, pistols, muskets, and the tread of
war horses; the festive knout is there and
the scenery is equally barbaric and gorgeous
and realistic 1t is a performance that is
