The revival of the rage about the Shah OF

outside the city by e chamberlain of the
court Who in the name of the shah, presented
him with four elephants Winston. who had
never seen an elephant outside of a menagerie,
was paralyzed at his situation, but managed to
express his thanks for the shah's great kindness.
After ne hal been presented, and had assumed

GET Rid of the Rubbish.


The bill of Senator Gibbs to repeal the
law which imposes license tax OF SoOO on
emigi alton agents is good one. 1here
ought to be no opposition to it. The law
which 1t is sed to repeal makes 1t a
misdemeanor for any one without lice Sc
t. solicit persons TO c igrats. The object
of it is to prevent labor agents from taking
labo ers cut of the state.
Georgia can spa e good many who are
classed as laborers. They are found chiefly
IN the towns and villages. They are hardly
loafers. but they are not very much better.
They are not anxious for WORK. Tney man
age To get enough TO eat, and that IS about
all they care fo-. They have friends among
the co ks, shortly after meal times
pee mems of he can be seen prOwlin2
about the kitchen windows Of the residences
Of ell-to-do people.
Savannah has hundreds of blacks she
could very we'll spare-and would spare
with pleasure. They are not her best black
citizers by any ways. They would, now
ever. satisfy an emigration agent seeking
for labo ers. If they were rem we'd to an
other sec ion f the country. where they
would have to depend upon them elves, they
mig eventually become industrious. As
long as they remain here they Will never
amount to anything. Some Of them get
on the chat gang, a d while there they
are of some benefit to the county. 1t
would certainly be better for them and for
Savannah if an emigration agent should en-
tice them away. Tnere W juld be a little
more work fot those who remain. The
good-for-nothing citizens are not f iuud only
in Savannah. They are in all parts of the
state
Some of the farmers are afraid that if
the Gibbs bill should become a law they
would soon be without sufficient help to
cultivate their farms. There is no reason
to fear anything of that kind. Relia lie
| borers will remain whe they are because
they have comfortable surroundings and
are sure of living. They will not take
tire risk of getting better wages elsewhere.
Those who are not needed are the ones who
will foil tue emigration agents.
1t W uld be Il good thing for Georgia if
she could get rid of some of her black
popu alton. White pc jple would come IN
as the blacks went out Senator Hampton,
Of South Carolina, said a few days ago in
an interview that it would be goo thing
for that state If the culored people should
leave her. He thinks the state would soon
be filled up with white people, and that they
would make her many times more proper
GUS than she is. 1t is probable that he is
right Georgia has a surplus black popula-
ton for which she has no need. Let the
Gibbs bill be passed in order that she may
get rid of it.

Promptly at 10 O'Clock the Rev. Mr. Cherry

and he demanded that the Rev, Mr.. Cherry
