SAVANNAH OF TO-DAY.
The Morning News Annual Trade Review
A Few Pointers in Relation Thereto.

The MORNING NEWS Annual Trade Re
view. containing complete and compre-
hensive statement of the business of Savan-
nah. win be issued early in September
The year ending Sept. l, 1899, will be a
memorable one the history of Savannah,
and the MORNING NEWS proposes to give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
near future. There is no better way in
which the outside world can be informed of
what is going on in a community than
through the columns of its newspapers.
The MORNING NEWS in its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities 10 the union,
and that her citizens, judging from what
they have done during the last year, are
fully alive to the great ess of her future
They have proven by the various local i'm
provements they have made, and by the
active interest they have manifested in
railroads projected for her benefit, that
they are not afraid TO invest their money
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have confidence
in her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
and her great railroad systems will, in a
few years. make her the greatest seaport
city in the south.
The MORNING NEWS will, in its Trade
Review, present to the world Savannah OF
to-day IN a resume Of what has hereto
fore appeared in its columns. The review
will be in such shape that, at q
glance, it will be seen what has
been accomplished during the year
The Trade Review will contain articles
showing the bu mess of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts which
promise steadily increasing prosperity.
1t will establish the fact that there is no
healthier city in the south and none more
pleasant in which to live and do business
either in summer or winter. 1t will
prove by figures that Savannah is
without rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizens
show that they are satisfied that she is
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in the
usual form, and will be newspaper which
those who feel a pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
1t will afford business men an opportun-
ity of saying something about their business
ana themselves. 1t is hoped that in size as
well as in other respects, it will sur ass
every previous edition. That, however
depends entirely upon the orders it re.
ceives from advertisers.
1t is desired TO distribute $4,000 copies
and that number will be distributed, if the
response of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as re have reason to believe II
will be-
Orders for advertising or for copies of
the paper can be handed in at the business
Office, or, if desired, they will be called for
by the canvassers.

he state Road Lease BIZ.

The House, IN the committee of the whole.
virtually completed the state road lease bill
yesterday. The bill will come before the
House next Tuesday, and will be passed by
that body on that day probably IN tue
shape in W ich it is at pre- eut.
The House has been discussing the hill for
several weeks, and it may be several weeks
more before the bill is ready flr tile gov
ernor's signature. From the II 1use it goes
to the Senate, and the latter body may
make some very radical changes in it. 1t
will certainly give it full
! discussion Doubtless the claimants
of compensation for betterments will
make another effort to have their claim
recognized. Whether the Senate will ap-
prove of he position of the House on the
betterment claim or not is a question tina.
cannot be answered at pres snt with any de-
gree Of certainty. The chances are that it
will, because the Houses position is sup
ported very generally by pu lie sentiment
throughout the state. II it should not
agree with the House, however, the state
road matter may continue % occupy the
attention of the leg stature until late in Oc-
Der.
The bill as completed by the House is not
a very lengthy G, but it seems to cover
all the points that should be covered. The
road may be leased for not less than twenty
years for not less than $50, 900 per month,
or for not less than forty years at not less
THAI $4,000 per month, or for not less than
fifty years at not less than $4,000 per
month.
Care is taken that there shall be no bet
terment claim at the end Of the term of tho
lease. A betterments are to belong to the
state The road, however, must be kept in
good condition, and returned to tue state in
as & Cd coalition as when received. The
discussion Of the bill in tbs Senate will be
followed by the people with as much in
terest as it was followed in the House. 1t
Is not by any means considered that the
betterment claim and the terms for a new
lease are settled.

there is no good reason why they should
not be made into syrup. Prof. Ashm re
