Push Ahead.

Savannah has shown an astonishing
amount Of energy and enterprise during the
last three or four years. She has begun to
appreciate the fact that she has the promise
of a splendid future, and, in order that
the promise may be fulfilled, she has only
to make use Of the opportunities which
present themselves.
During the year 1889 ste accomplished a
great deal The question now is what will
she accomplish in 1890! One of the things
she ought TO do is to raise the amount at
once that is necessary to insure the build
ing Of the S0uthbound railroad. If she
will subscribe SIS, 900 more to that enter
prise the road viii be placed under con-
tract at once, and before the close of the
year cars viii be running between Column
bia, S. c., and this city.
The Southbomd would be of incalcu-
liable benefit to Savannah. Il would bring
to our wharyes many thousands OF bales of
cotton annually and a trade that would
greatly increase the business Of our whole
sale merchants. A canvass for the addi-
tional subscriptions should be made at once.
There is no doubt that the road would pay
good interest on the money invested in it,
because the line of it is through a rich sec
ton Of country that is already pretty well
developed
If the people of Savannah will invest their
money within her limits, they will get as
good, if not better, returns for it than if
they invest it elsewhere. 1t will certainly
be safer to invest it here than in some of the
wildcat towns which are being started in
different parts of the south and west by
shrewd spectators, whose whole purpose is
to make as much money as they can out of
their TOWNSHIP schemes, and who seek new
fields when the boom is over.
There continues to be a healthy increase
in the prices of Savannah real estate, and
building is going on at lively rate. The
confidence in Savannah's prosperity is we'll
established, and it is not too much to say
that this year there will be more buildings
erected within her limits than in any previ-
Gus one.
Savannah needs more factories. She has
quite large number, and new ones are
being added to the list, but they are not
being added as fast as they ought to be.
The fertilizer factories, the cotton seed oil
mill, and the brewery, all of which are
recent additions, pay handsome dividends,
and it is quite certain that the new cotton
factory which will be finished within two
or three months will be valuable prop
erty.
Savannah should have more factories and
more railroads. and if our business men do
their whole duty to'the city it will be very
little while before she will be able to give
work to many times more workingmen
than she now employs. Let US be wide
awake, aggressive and pushing. and strive
to give our city year that will be a notable
one in her history for progress in wealth
and population.

When Senator George, OF Mississippi,
was asked what was his fondest hope for
1890, he said: 81 expect nothing good at
the hands of the Republican party. That
their plans may miscarry is my best hope
for the new year" A republican organ re-
fers to this as an exhibition of spleen, and
says: such is the spirit the average
southerner brings into statecraft" Now,
what are the plans which Senator George
hopes will miscarry? They may be named
as follows: The unseating of democratic
members of the House who were fairly
elected, in order to give the republicans a
good working majority; the passage of a
law to place congressional elections under
the control of republican returning boards;
the great increase of a pension burden that
is already heavy enough, to say the least.
Is there any spleen in the wish that
they may miscarry! Isn't the spirit which
the average southerner brings into state
craft" as exhibited in Senator Georges
new year wish, most commendable and
patriotic onel

Andrew Jackson's Home.

The movement to preserve the Hermitage,
the homestead of Gen. Andrew jackson,
from decay and to keep it in repair ought
to meet with very general encouragement
The movement will be inaugurated to-mor-
row, the anniversary Of the battle of New
Orleans. The Ladies' Hermitage Association
of Nashville has undertaken the work of
preserving the homestead, and the money
for that purpose should be literally sub
scribed.
The Hermitage is about twelve miles from
Nashville, and great many people visit it
every year. 1t came into Gen. Jackson's
possession in 1904. 1t had upon it at that
time only log cabin. In 1919 Gen. Jack
son began the erection of the present man
sion. At that time his health was not good,
and he did not expect to live to occupy it.
He built it, he said, for his wife. He spent
nine happy years in IL, however, with her.
Two days after her death he left for Wash
ington, to be inaugurated as President.
While he was President it was partly
burned, and many valuable relics were de-
stroyed. He had it rebuilt, however, but
he never occupied it again.
The Hermitage became the property of
the state of Tennessee in 1856, but it has
been occupied by Gen. Jackson's adopted
son. At one time it was offered to the
United States for branch of West Point,
but the offer was not accepted. The
house is beginning to look shabby, and
it was for the purpose of putting it in re-
pair and of purchasing some of the valued
| furniture in it that the Ladies' Hermitage
Association was organized. The associa-
ton was chartered by the legislature last
year, and is now ready for the work it has
undertaken. 1t ought to have no difficulty
in getting all the money it needs. The
American people have a profound respect
| for the memory of Gen. Andrew Jackson.

The Fruits of Money and Energy.


The two places in Florida that are attract
ing the most attention at present are st.
Augustine and Tampa. There are other
places, of course that are thriving and
growing, but the two named have been
selected by two millionaires, who have
great business ability and excellent judg-
ment, as places that are to be assisted to an
almost unlimited extent in growing. Mr..
Flagler is changing ST. Augustine from a
slow, drowsy, picturesque village into one
of the most beautiful towns in the world,
aud Mr.. Plant has already made Tampa a
thriving city and an important port.
Mr.. Flagler owns the three great hotels
of St Augustine, and a vast amount of
other property there. He is also the prin.
cipal stakeholder in the Jacksonville, st.
Augustine and Halifax River railroad, and
now that the bridge across the st. Johns has
been completed, the way to that city is
wholly unobstructed. st. Augustine has a
good summer and a superb winter climate.
She has also an excellent harbor, and if it
were not for the fact that
there is very shallow bar which
prevents deep draft vessels from entering it.,
she would, in all probability, soon become
Florida's chief Atlantic seaport. The bar,
however, can be deepened, and doubtless
that will be done. With deep water to the
sea, St. Augustine would soon become an
important port. She would certainly COM
mand large trade with the Bahamas and
some of the West India islands. Indeed,
she might even aspire to the control of a
share Of the South American trade. 1t
looks, however, if Tampa, on the gulf,
would eventually be the port in this country
through which the trade between Central
and South America and the United States
would pass.
1t is interesting to note the remarkable
progress that both st. Augustine and
Tampa have made within five years, and
what one or two individuals, with money
and business Sc nse, can do toward making a
| town prosperous.

A Split Gold Coin,


From tie San Francisco Examiner.
1.-TWO tens for a twenty, please" said a
gentleman to the cashier in the county treas.
urer'S Office
The cashier took the twenty and rang it on
the counter Ii had that peculiar dull ring that
characterizes counterfeit coins. He rung it a
second time, and then inspected it critically.
rs it bogus:" asked the owner of the coin.
80, no. answered the cashier; Its good
as wheat but split. "
Continuing, be said: THAT is the first split
$40 ever ran across. The stamping ma
chine at the mint sometimes comes down too
hard on the coins and splits them; but it is sell
dom the larger coins split. It's mostly 'fves'
that suffer But they are very careful at the
mint and stop every. split coin they detect.
Now in the thousands of dollars handled here
every year / rarely find split com. | dom
think I've found more than four or five in a
year, and, as l say, the coins were mostly Sd
pieces.
The split $40 looked perfect and, so far as
the eye could detect bore no flaw of any kind.
The only fault with 1t was in the ring, and
the split made it sound dead" when thrown
on the counter.

An Everyday Romance

From the Chicago Herald.
Maud Muller, on a winter day,
fastened to the matinee.
She little dreamed that there she'd find
The judge in just the seat behind.
She and the judge, so it was said,
Were very shortly to be wed.
He greeted her with kindly smile,
And gayly chatted they awhile.
But soon the play in front was on
When, 10! the judges smile was gone.
In patience for awhile he sat,
Hid from the stage behind her hat.
Then muttered he fearful word,
Which Maud in fear and trembling heard
He fastened from the place away;
They have not spoken since that day.
And Maud, now of his love bereft,
Regrets that she is sadly left.
And often signs: 'It might have beenl
I'll never wear that hat again.

The resolution was opposed by republicans
Such newspapers as the Press may say
what they please about the alleged benefits

it hasn't helped the farmers, who are
numerically stronger than any other class
of citizens. If it had, republicans in con-

luton in question.

contest, and will then retire permanently
from the prize ring. He is represented as
having said that he would never again fight
with bare knuckles; that he did not find it
profitable to break the laws of a state, as
was the case when he fought in Mississippi,
and that, while he had not challenged
Jackson, he was willing to fight him with
gloves if the inducements were made great
enough. The Mississippi fight. he is re-

his hands, but after deducting all of his
expenses he found it losing business.
