The sun was setting in blaze of midsummer

Senator Calls Challenge.

Is there going TO be a joint discussion
between Senator Cal of Florida, and Hon.
w. D. Chpley, chairman Of the demo-
cratic com uittsc of tina state! The pc 1ple
Of Flori la are waiting for an answer to
his gu sticn. and they would like to have
1t as soon as possible.
Several weeks ago Senator Call chal-
lenged those who opposed his reelection to
the Senate TO meet MIN in every county in
Florida and discuss the charges which have
been made against him. Hon. W. d..
Chipley accepted the challenge, and
last Sunday his letter of acceptance
was published. In his letter he proposed
several conditions, one of which was that
there should be meetings in fifty counties,
and another was that the joint discu siou
should begin on the first Tuesday in March
and continue until each of the fifty counties
had been visited If the conditions were
satisfactory to Senator Call he has not 50
stated publicl so far as the MORNING
NEWS knows. There is no reason to doubt,
however, that he will either accept the con-
ditions or ask a reasonable modification of
them.
1t may be accepted as certain that the
discussion viii take place. Indeed, it is not
cay to see how it can be avoided. Senator
Call is undoubtedly anxious to talk to the
people about the charges wnica have been
made aga nst him. If he were not he
would not have sued a challenge. He
probably feels able to show to his constitu-
ents that the charges are the invention of
his political emies
Mr.. Chipley is very we'll equipped for a
disc ssi with the senator. He has taken
leading part in Florida politics for num-
Der of years, and last fall he made al esti-
mate Of the major ty that Florida would
give the national democratic ticket which
prov him to be a gentleman Of wide in-
formation and excel e t Judgment.
The discussion will do the Democratic
party in Florida No har n. Accord z to
Mr.. Chipley's letter, it is to be confined to
Senator Calls record. The Sc lator will
u dertake to show that he has been faithful
and equal TO the trust repose in him by the
people Of florida, and Mr.. Chipley will I'M
dertake to show that he has not
The discussion cannot be otherwise than
interesting, although dealing entirely with
matters personal to Senator Call The pc J.
pie want to know whether or not he has
been an able, efficient and conscientious
public servant. If he shows that he has,
it is more than probable tlat he will be re-
turned to the Senate If he does not show
tn he has. the chances are that his career
as senator will end with his present term.

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, will be issued early in September.
The year ending Sept l, 1899, will be
memorable one the history of Savannah,
and the MORNING NEWS proposes tn give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
pear 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 ia its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities in the union,
and that her citizens, judgi,g 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 wor d 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 a 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 a 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 a newspaper which
those who feel a pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
1t will afford business me an opportun-
ity of saying something about their business
and 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 10000 copies.
and that number will be distributed, if the
response Of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as We have reason to believe 1t
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.

A Cost Y Mistake.

There is complaint that some of the
cotton, covered with cotton bagging, that
has thus far reached the ports is INSULT
GENTLY covered. The farmer who does not
put enough covering on his baes to confiue
the jttol m kes costly mistake. Several
things result from the mistake. OIe is, that
the cotton drops out of the bale in handling,
and there is consequently a loss in weight.
Another is, that the cotton is exposed to the
weather and becomes damaged. Its value,
therefore, is decreased. S i'll another is,
that the exporter who purchases the cotton
has TO get add ional covering for it before
he can ship it, aud the farmer has to pay
for this covering in some way.
The MORNING NEWS calls the attention
of the farmers to this matter for their own
good. 1t is impossible to get the best
result from cotton that is not in the con-
dlti that the trade requires. The factors,
of course, will do the best they can for
their customers, but it is impossible for
them to handle cotton to the best advan-
tage when it is not properly covered.
There is another thing that must taken
into consideration. An effort is being made
to get ne Liverpool Cot ~ Exchange to
make a tare allowance for colt IN covered
with cotton bagging. The effort, doubt
less, will ultimately be succe ,sful At
present, however, tho exchange does not
re ard cotton baggng with favor,
and is not disposed to make any
concessions in its behalf. If cotton
covered with cotton bagging arrives
in Liverpool in a ragged co 4ditiol the ex
change will be more hostile 10 that kind of
bagging than it is at present. The re-
adjustment of the tare allo vance, 81 as to
put co ton covered with 'tton bagging on
a footing with that covered VITA jute bag
ging, will be delayed. If the farmers are
careful of t leir own interests those of them
WAC use cotton baggIng will cover their
bales so completely that there will be no
cause for complaint.
