Where the Money Went.

1t turns out that one of the reasons why
the holders Of cotton oil trust certificates did
not get better dividend last year was that
the president and treasurer of the trust lost
over $500, 900 of the trust money in trying
to keep up the price of the certificates. The
president is J. H. Flagler and the treasurer
is Jay o. Moss.
OF course they had no right to use the
money of the trust in any way except that
authorized by the trustees, but it seems that
they decided to act upon their own judg-
reent; and without even limiting to any one
interested in the trust what they were
doing, they used vast sums belonging to the
trust in the shape of margins, and lost
heavily
1t is said that the trustees do not believe
that the officials in ques ton meant to put
the profits into their own pockets if there
had been any, because all Of their transac-
tions appear upon the company's books.
The fact that they have turned over their
private fortunes to the trust, which amount
to something over $3.50, 900, would seem to
sustain this view.
IL the trust had been well managed there
is no doubt that it would have paid hand
some dividend upon its certificates for the
year just closed. 1t was very badly man.
aged, however, and the wonder is that the
losses were not greater.
There is one thing that men who occupy
business positions of great responsibility,
are continually forgetting, and that is that
they don't own the business they manage.
If Messrs. Flagler and Moss had
remembered this fact the trust stock
holders would be very much better
off. 1t seems rather strange that
they should have said nothing about
the loss of 50 large sum of the trusts funds
until they were forced to do so by the fear
Of discovery. II they were as innocent of
| any Intentional wrong-doing as they pre-.
tend, why did they keep the trustees in
| ignorance OF the true state of affairs SC
| long? 1t was no business of theirs to keer
up the price Of certificates. 1t may be that
they were carrying large amount of Ger
| tificates on their account, and the fear OF
heavy personal losses induced them to USE
the trusts money to sustain the market. II
that were the case they are just as guilty OF
wrong doing as if they had used the trusts
money to speculate with for themselves. II
is noticeable that though they gave up their
private fortunes to meet the deficit, there
was no hesitation about accepting theil
| designations.

a Boil on His Neck.

FROM the chicago Herald.
Each heart has its moments of pleasure and
pain
That follow the ebb ard the flow;
Each soul has its portion of sunshine and rain,
Hope dawnings and sunsets of woe.
But there re few other evils to which flesh is
heir
That with sorrow our joy can so f1eck
And fill our whole being with so much despair
AS a boil on the back of the neck.
mans wife may tell him in tones low and
sweet
Her mother is coming to stay,
He may tread banana peel down in the street
And swear in q dgniied way.
Somebody may walk ON his favorite corn;
He may foolishly cash a snide check,
But the one thing that makes him regret he was
born
Is the boil on the back of the neck
The brooklet cen sings in a sad undertone,
The skies are all clouded with care
And natures voice echoes saddening moan,
The breezes come freighted with care;
The future is naught but a desert of night,
The present a miserable wreck
Without even just one faint spark of delight,
For the man with a boil on his neck.

savannah,s Manufactures.

There is one statement in the annual re-
port Of Mr.. Bloodworth, president of the
cotton exc ange, that doubtless excited
considerable surprise, even here in Savan-
nah. 1t is that there are "a, 900, 900 invested
in manufacturing enterprises il this city.
1t has been known, Of course, in general
way, that the number of manufactures was
gradually increasing, because the MORNING
NEWS has called attention to them, but
President Blood worth is the first one TO
inquire carefully into the amount of capital
which they represent.
The showing which our city makes from
manufacturing standpoint is quite graft
flying. 1t must be remembered, as Presl-
dent Bloodworth points out, that Savannah
has never made any pretensions TO being a
manufacturing city. She has simply relied
upon her commerce, and has been proud OF
her prominence in t at respect. 1t is ap-
parent, however. that her prosperity is not
going to depend wholly upon her com
merce. One mandatory will encourage
the establishing of others. 1t has been
so clearly demonstrated that a cotton mill
can be operated successfully here, that
within a month or two after the des ruction
of the old mill sufficient amount of stock
for a new one was subscribed. The new
mill will soon be in operation, and If it proves
to be paying enterprise, as it doubtless
will, it will not be long before other cotton
mills will be built.
There is no doubt that Savannah is a good
place for manufactures All those which
have been established pay well. The reason
why more attention hasn't been given to
manufacturing in the past is that the bust
ness of the city has required all her capital.
She has some surplus capital now, and it is
finding an outlet in manufactures of one
kind and another.
President Bloodworth calls ate ntion to
the fact that although great many dwell
ing houses have been built recently, the sup
ply of them is not equal to the demand.
The fact is, that our manufactures give
employment to great many people, and the
increase i'll the manufactures accounts to
some extent for the increase in our popula-
ton.
Manufacturing should be encouraged in
every possible way. Those in Savannah
who have money to invest should invest it
in home factories instead of in factories in
other cities of the state. 1t will be much
more to their interests to build up their
own city than those cities which have not
the advantages and prospects of prosperity
which Savannah has
