In an interview in New York day or
two ago Senator Call, of Florida, said some
very true things with respect 20 The south.
No man understands the condition of
affairs ia the south better, and, as lie is not
bitter partisan, what he says on political
and industrial matters ought to command a
great zeal of attention in the north. Among
other things he said that the southern peo-
! pie were not now bothering themselves
/ about politics. They were wholly occupied
/ in developing their material resources.
| They looked 10 the future hopefully, be-
cause their crops were good and the pros
perIty Of their section was becoming daily
more clearly recognized. Railroads we're
being built, mines opened, factories erected
and towns were growing with wondrous
rapidIty.
The chief feature of Senator Calls inter
view, however. was that which related to
alleged outrages. He declared most en-
| phatically that the stories of political and
race crimes in the south were in the main
without foundation. They were invented
for political purposes, and were published
in the republican journals Of the north to
accomplish party ends 1t was true, he
said, tn men we're sometimes killed in the
south. but such men would be killed in the
north under similar circumstances. He
gave several instances in which colored men
mad been killed, and it appears from the
facts which he presented that they would
bave been killed in any northern commu-
nifty had they lived in such a community
and committed like crimes
Senator Call said that the white and
black races got alo g very well together.
They were arriving at a better understand
ing with each other, and, consequently,
their relations were far more satisfact ry.
lie secuted the idea that the colored voters
were intimidated. A great many colcred
mon now vote with the democrats and
great many others do not vote at all. There
is, therefore, no difficulty in getting demo-
cratic maloritles. Even white repu blicans
vote the democratic ticket on state issues
The senator was asked whether or not
there was a protective tariff party spring
ing up in the south. He answered that he
had never heard of such a party. The
south, he said had not changed on the
tariff issue since the last national election,
ana would enter tue next national contest
without any noticeable change on that
issue. He laughed at the idea of the
administration building up a party in the
south with federal patronage. A political
party, be SAID, must come from the people,
not the office-holders.
Such talks as this of Senator Call will do
the south good In the north. The northern
people. as a rule, are disposed TO be
fair. They see so much in their partisan
republican journals that is derogatory to
the south that it is not to be wondered at
that they are inclined to believe the stories
of southern outragos whic appear in those
journals. They are finding out the truth.
however, and, as consequence, northern
men are seeking homes in the south in in
creasing numbers, and nothern capital is
being invested in southern enterprises in
greater volume

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-
hensve 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 to give
sl,e widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
q ear 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
6gures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities in the union,
aud that her citizens, judging from what
they have done during the last year, are
fully alive to the greatness of her future.
They have proven by the various local i'm
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" III 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 business 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
6lbnoT ia culnnjoI VI Winter. IL 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 newspaper whic b
those who feel a pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
1t will afford business mel 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 that orders it re.
ceives from advertisers.
It 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 aswe 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.
