The announcement of low taX-rate is al
ways the best sort of news for taxpayers. Such
an announcement was given out yesterday as
the result of the figuring that has been going
on in the Tax Department for some time The
tax-rate for this year is to be 1.95, against
2.22 last year and 2.16 in 1887. This rate is
the lowest in the last thirty years, with two
exceptions 1t is the result of the legislation
last winter in reference to the Sinking Fund.

An earnest crusade against diSease-breeding
filth has been instituted by the Board of Health.
Though the hot season is now well advanced, it
is not too late to do good deal toward making
the city healthier place to live in. The foul
condition of the streets naturally demands
notice, and the Street Cleaning Department Is
urged to clean more frequently the streets In
the thickly populated regions. The high death
rate among infants is attributed to the filth in
the streets. The Board is also giving attention
to the elevated railway stations, thirty-seven

testimony on this side of the case has begun

The Drought, Cool Weather and Bad
Sesd the Causes.
There is very little new from the report
of week ago in the advices now being
received by factors from their clients in
relation to the growing cotton crop.
Complaints still continue to be received
Of poor stands in South Georgia and some
parts Of Florida, necsssita.ing replanting.
There are various causes for this With
some tits poor seed and others report q con-
tinuance Of cool weather, the temperature
being rather too low for the young plants
just coming up.
There is also general complaints coming
in from all over the cotton belt of cOntin-
uous drouth aud the plant in many places
is dyiug and whitening. For the past ten
days there has been no rainfall to speak Of.
This is particularly the case with the near

Henry George's Views.

Henry George is making considerable
headway with his doctrine, in regard to
the ownership of land. In England and in
Scotland especially, it has found many con-
verts-mostly among the liberals. His
ewslare'obliged to be popular. Every right
thinking man wants homo for himself and
family, and in this country there is no rea-
son why he should not have one. ii he is in
dustrious and economical. That Savannah is
full of this latter class of men is evidenced
by the number Of houses owned by persons
of moderate incomes A number of them
own more than one, and these have been
obtained through the profits made on pre-
vious investments. There probably
is no city in the world where SO many per-
sons own their homes With the facilities
offered in this day for obtaining homes, un-
less person is really surrounded by mis-
fortunes, it is culpabls to be without one.
We are in favor of the anti-poverty idea
there should be no poverty. Don't keep
from being poor by taking from your
neighbor what he has earned, but earn it
yourself. Wrest it by honest industry from
the opportunities placed in your reach by a
generous providence. These opportunities
are being presented TO you every day. Some
will listen to the crank at his elbow, who
says, ooh, that's Dorsett's talk-he's boom
ing the town for the spectators. Those
WHO have needed Dorsstt's talk during the
years he has been talking" have their own
homes. Many Of them are renting to these
same cranks. There never was a better op-
portunity Of investing in good real estate
than that offered at the same Dorsett's sale
of lots on Wednesday, 22d inst, and it will
be a long time before a better chance, with
better terms or better property, is offered
No person can make mistake in buying
property in a certain line Of territory in
any growing city of the south. Is there
any city more conservative in these mat
ters than thisl Mistakes may be made by
paying too much for property poorly To-
Gated, but 50 long as you adhere to the line
Of improvements, you are bound to come
