Whether it be that the Scotch settlers in
this city are better educated than those of
some other countries, or whether they are
men who for the most part work harder,
and are more shrewd and thrifty in their
habits, the fact remains that they are both
prosperous and respected. Nor are they
more successful in Savannah than elsewhere
