lime for Action.

! If the business men and property holders
/ of this city do no. realize the Importance of
having another railroad connection with
the southwestern part Of this state, it is
time they did. Savannah's cotton receipts
this year will be 600 or $4,000 bales less
than they were last. and the receipts of
Brunswick and the Virginia ports will show
an increase over those Of last year.
There is no intention Of course on the
part Of those who control the roads which
Savannah now has to injure her, but they
consider their own interests before those Of
Savannah, and if Savannah suffers they
are not troubled particularly.
1t has been said that work was stopped
on the Savannah and Western because the
hostile attitude of the legislature iuterfered
with financial arrangements that had
about been perfected. That may have been
the case. but, in the light Of subsequent
events, it looks as if the Richmond Terrni-
nal objected to the building of that road
because it would hurt the business Of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad. The fact that Brunswick and the
Virginia ports have gained in their cotton
receipts seems to justify the suspicion that
business that belongs 10 Savannah has been
sent to those ports in order TO help the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia road.
Whatever the facts may be it is evident
that the Richmond Terminal combination
has been of no benefit to Savannah. Sa-
vannah has lost business since the combina-
tion was made.
An opportunity now presents itself to the
business men and property holders of Savan-
nah to secure q railroad that will counter
act the effect of the railroads which are
now pulling business away from her. Will
they take advantage of it! II they
do not they ought not to CON-
plain when they feel the effects Of the
influences which are now working against
Savannah. II they are half as public
spirited as they ought to be, and as their
best interests require them to be, they will
refuse to be bottled up by any railroad
combination. They will utilize the oppor-
tunities which now present themselves to
secure new railroad outlets and hold the
trade which naturally belongs to them
against all efforts TO divert it to ether

Carl was jolly little fellow,
With eyes Of blue and curls OF yellow,
And rosy cheeks. and just the chin
To hold a pretty diInple in.
He found himself alone one day,
And wondered what t was best to play
While his mamma remained away.
Pencil and paper soon he saw,
And seized them both. Said he: 'I'll draw

Poor Jack heard growing Fee fo-fum'
First, here's his forehead full of bumps,
And then his nose with three big humps.
And then two ears OF 'normous size,
And then two dreadful staring eyes,
And then mouth from ear to ear
With long, sharp, teeth-like tusks' But here
The artist, with eyes opened wide

The Jute BaQging Trust.

The jute bagging trust, it is stated, ex-
poets to make great deal Of money the
coming season. 1t did not make as much
last season as it expected to, although the
price Of jute bagging was advanced to ex-
tortionate figures There were one or two
things which prevented its expectations
from being realized. One was that it failed
to buy up the supply of jute butts, and
another WAS that the sale Of jute bagging
was somewhat decreased by that Of other
kinds of bagging which were manufactured
in the attempt to find an acceptable substi-
tute
This year. however, it is reported that
the trust has purchased nearly the entire
available supply of jute butts. and, realiz-
ing that by the season of IS90-'9l pine straw
bagging factories will be able to turn out
sufficient quantities of pine straw bagging
to render it impracticable to reorganizs the
trust, it intends to use its advantages for all
they are worth. If recent state
ments are correct, there are only
five mills which are not in this
years combination, and four of these are
comparatively small concerns, while the
fifth, which is Of considerable Importance,
is not disposed to fight the combination,
although it will not join it. 1t is also stated
that pine straw bagging is not altogether
satisfactory as a substitute, and that even if
it were, it could not be manufactured ex-
tensively enough the coming season to in
terfere materially with the sale of juts
bagging.
1t is possible, however, that the trust will
not be more successful than it was last
season II the price of jute bagging Is
placed as high as it was then, the farmers
will again resort to all sorts of expedients
to avoid buying it, Besides, the pine straw
bagging mills will certainly be able to turn
out as much of their product as they did
last season. They ought to turn out much
more, as they will begin operations much
earlier.
