savaunah,s Fleet Of steamers.

The steady growth Of the business Of the
Ocean Steamship Company is one Of the
strongest indications Of the increasing i'm
pOrtancs and prosperity Of Savannah. 1t
has not been many years since the COM
pany's business required its steamers 70
leave this port for New York only about
once in five days II was not long. how
ever, before it became necessary for its
steamers to leave here twice q week, and
later on the departures were increased 70
three week. On July a new programme
will 60 into effect, and four steamers will
leave this port every wesk 1t Is safe to
say that within year or two steamer of
the Ocean Steamship Company will sail
from Savannah every day in the year.
Of course the feet Of the company has
been increased from time TO time to meet
the demands of its business. Not only has
the number Of steamers been increased, but
each one added to the feet has been larger
and finer than the one that Immediately
preceded it. In November the finest vessel
that the company has yet built will be
launched, and, doubtless, it. will be followed
by others.
line to Philadelphia which makes one trip
week, and the New England Steamship
Company, which is also part Of the Gem
tral railroad system, has line to Boston
which makes one trip a week.
Savannahians. of course, feel reasona-
bic pride in the feet of the Central system.
No other South Atlantic coast steamers are
to be compared with them. Long ago they
won popular favor and they promise to
continue to hold the high place they have
in the estimation of shippers and travellers.
In the matter Of beauty, speed, safety and
management they leave nothing to be de-
sired.
a thought in connection with this feet is
that its development is typical of the devel-
opment of this section of the south 1t has
grown as the territory from which it draws
business has grown. When it came into ex-
istence the most of the orange groves CT
Florida were in their infancy, and melons
were cultivated only for the home market.
The truck farms Of this state and Florida,
which now attract so much attention, and
which furnish 50 much freight, existed only
in the imagination of those who saw the
possibilities of this part of the south.
The feet is freightsd with the products of
mines, as we'll as of the soil. Tue furnaces
and mills Of Alabama help to swell the
volume Of its business, and it will not be long
before Georgia's marble quarries will figure
upon its freight bills.
Yes, the south is developing, and Savan-
nah is developing, and the Ocean Steamship
Company a1d the New England Steamship
Company will have to increase still further
the number Of their steamers in the near
future to meet the requirements Of the sec
ton Of country dependent upon them.

Help the Farmers.

The cotton factors and other merchants
who keep bagging in stock, should help
the farmers in their fight with the jute
bagging combination. The farmers are
determined to defeat the combination, and
bagging instead of jute bagging.
The merchants can aid them very greatly
by keeping on hand stock of cotton bag
ging If the merchants generally do not
do this they win make it difficult for the
farmers to get cotton bagging at the lowest
possible prices and in quantities sufficient
TO meet their wants.
As long as there is demand for cotton
bagging, and the Indications are that there
will be a large demand for it this season,
there is no legitimate reason why the mer-
chants should not carry a stock of it. They
can make Just as great a profit on cotton
bagging as on jute bagging, aud there is no
danger that they will be left with stock
of it on their hands.
The farmers quite generally in this state
have made up their minds to use cotton
bagging this season, even if they have to
pay little more for it than for jute bag
ging. At least that is the general impress
sion. There is a probability that the cotton
exchanges in Europe will so adjust the rules
regulating tare that there will be no ad-
vantage in that respect in using jute bag
ging.
The farmers and merchants should act in
harmony 1t is to their interest to do so.
They are to a certain extent dependent
upon each other. and they should give each
other all the help they can.

Spokesman CIarkson is trying to explain
that the President was not to blame for the
appointment of Mr.. Zimmerman, chair
man Of republican county committee, to
the postoffice at Cannelton, Ind, when
Mrs. De la Hunt was an applicant. Mr..
Clarkson puts up very unlikely story
He says the President thought the Camel
ten postoffice was a presidential one, and
had Mrs. De la Hnnt checked off for it; but
that it wasn't presidential postoffice, that
he (Clarkson), made the appointment, and
that the President knew nothing about it,
The President must certainly have known
when he made his speech about this wom-
ans removal that the postoffice was a
fourta-class one, and if he had been as
greatly interested as he professed to be,
he would have seen that Clarkson appointed

Faint Heart.

Faint heart wins not lady fair:
victory smiles on those who dare.
There IS but one way. TO WOO:
Think thy mistress willing, too;
Leave her never chance to choose,
Hold her powerless to refuse.
IT she answer thee with no,
Wilt thou bow and let her go?
When, most like, her no is meant
But to make more sweet consent;
SO thy suit may longer be.
For so much she liketh thee.
Never heed her pretty airs!
He's no lover who despairs;
He's no warrior whom a frown
Drives from his beleaguered town,
And no hunter he VINO stops
Til his stricken quarry drops.
Aim as certain not to miss;
Take ner as thou wouldst a kiss!
Or ask once, and if in vain,
Ask her twice, and thrice again;
Sure of this when all is said
They lose most who are afraii.

A Bar Harbor Idyl.

Once on time there was at one of the Bar
Harbor hotels young woman from New York
VINO was, TO speak within bounds, a mass of
affectations. She had more airs than band
organ, and they were of the same artificial
character She was the laughing stock of the
guests at the house, and there were numberless
Jokes at her expense, which she had not apDa-
rently the wit TO appreciate Miss X had a
poodle on which she lavished the choicest treas
ures of her affections The creature had its
own especial maid, and was taken out TO ride
in state every morning with as much tender
ness as if it had been child One day Miss X
came down to the dining-room for dinner in a
state of much agitation. She announced that
dear Flossys maid was i'll. and she really had no
one to stay with the sweet creature while she
came to dinner. She could scarcely eat she was
so fearful of the blight which might be cast upon
the poodles tender susceptibilit.es by the
loneliness to which she was condemned for half
an hour There was at the table Bostonian
who from the very bottom of his soul loathed
Miss X, ner poodle and her afectations He
rose as she continued her plant, and went out
quickly, aud his friends supposed that he could
not endure her twaddle. But as matter of
fact, he went intent upon wicked thoughts. He
knew where in the stables was a litter of blind
most plebean of ours. He hurriedly robbed the
dirty little mother OF the whelps, bribed a
chamDermaid, and when Miss X. hurried up
from dinner to console dear Flossy for her alb
Sence she found her pet surrounded by a litter
of the most disreputaole pups that the eye OF
man ever lighted upon. Miss x. was not clever
enough to conceal what she supposed to be the
shame of her beloved poodle, but shrieked and
wept and made generally the most tremendous
fuss. AS the BostonIan had let a few of his
friends into the secret it soon got about, and
the amount of jesting AMI chatting that fell to
the lot Of Miss x. was immeasurable She soon
discovered the truth of the matter, and her in
dignation knew no bounds sac endured for a
couple of days the mock-earnest inquiries after
the health of her dog AMI her dogs family, but
at the end of that time she silently gathered
her belongings together and betook herself
away. She could endure it no longer, and
Flossy the injured, passed with her mistress
out of the life at Bar Harbor as completely as
il the pair had never existed

Mr.. BoIEs in his address pronounced
in favor of saloon license of $500 to
be paid to the county and such addi-
tional sum as the city government
might choose to impose, with "police
surveillance" over those licensed to dis
pense liquors. The reign Of prohibition
has found those who have violated the
law fearfully opposed to any control or
detective force interrupting their bust
ness. They have called the policemen
spies and applied all manner of SANDER
GUS epithets. BY the plan proposed
they will pay from $500 to $1,000 license,
and then in their efforts to make the
sum in which they are mulcted will be
hampered and annoyed by "police sur.
VIGILANCE" Would this not in the eyes
of the personal liberty loving Mr.. Boies
be an invasion of personal rights p
If the state guarantees them the priv
ilege of disbursing liquors for a stipu
lated sum, would the state annoy by
putting spies upon their track to re
strict the dearly bought privilege. Ant
would "police surveillance" be any NOR
agreeable to the man who had purchas
ed his personal liberty than the maj
who was violating state law to ply hi
trade. The inconsistency of the posi-
ton is glazing. If Mr.. Boies is honestl.
in favor of "police surveillance" and i
conscientious in that belief he know
that every saloon that curses the rive
cities could be wiped out of existenc
by the same method. He knows, toe
