Lots at south Savannah.

Rowland q Myers report having met
with great success in the sale of lots at
South Savannah. While their object in
Offering these lots at low prices on such
easy terms is principally to induce parties
OF small means seeking homes to buy, they
have sold a number to investors, VINO seem
to realize that at no distant day South
Savannah is destiaed to be one of the resi-
dence portions of the city.
The Southern Land Company is endeav-
oring to make South Savannah to this city
what Edgewood and Kirkwood are to At
lanta. They have front on the Savannah,
Florida and Western railroad, and the
agents are now negotiating with the au
thorities to stop their trains at the depot.
They propose building. and, should they
accomplish this, there is no doubt their
hopes will be realized Parties seeking
homes, as well as investments, may avail
themselves of this opportunity.

EMMET,s MISFORTUNE.
The Story of the Comedians Last Fall
from Grace.

The Story of the Comedians Last Fall
from Grace.
There is general regret that Emmett
through his great failing, his love for drink,
is unable to fill his engagement IN Savannah
this week. He was booked for the theater
Wednesday night, and the sale of seats for
the performance was to have opened TO-
day. Emmett fell in Atlanta, and
one drink led to another until
he became helpless, and, cancel
ing his engagements, he has gone north.
His route, as laid out from Atlanta, would
have taken him 70 Macon, then Jackson
vile, Savannah, Charleston, and on to
Washington, where he was to open next
week.
Mr.. Enmet's condition made his appear
ance in Macon impossible, and his son de-
termined to cancel that, and all other
southern dates. There is pathetic side to
Emmet's troubles, which is explained in the
following letter, written in Atlanta by one
who is in position to know:
"A great many com nentaries have been
made upon the appearance of Emmett
during his last performance. l ask a little
indulgence for the unhappy man. OF
course, one might find some fun in the
doings of a man under the influence of
liquor, but in this case there was behind
the scenes some cause, which, when known.
ought to dry the laugh on ali lips.
For nearly five years Emmett has not
been on spree. Such abstinence from a
man so terribly addicted to strong drink
was certainly most creditable. Thursday.
his son received telegram announcing that
his mother, who has been in bad health for
quite awhile, was very low and not expected
to liue. At that moment the old
gentleman was present and, in his emotion.
the son disclosed the bad news,
The shock was too much for Emmett.
Rushing out, he went straight
TO the bar Of the hotel, and the first taste of
whisky revived his dormant appetite for
the liquor. The consequences are known.
Emmett has left for the north, canceling all
his dates There, where he left loving
wife, he will find probably a corpse. Let
US pity him, and throw a veil upon his
weakness

Rice Planters Preparing Their Fields
for Flowing.
The rice planters on the tidewater planta-
tions are now making the annual spring re-
pairs to bitches. banks aud flood-gates, and
preparing the land for blowing. The warm,
open winter has made it both troublesome
and expensive to get rid of the straw.
A Z. Moynelo, the well-known Ogeechee
planter, says that the straw did not die out,
but the roots of the rice sent out several
growths Of volunteer rice, which is green
and hard TO get rid of.
Some OF the planters are moving this
green rice and cutting it down with hoes.
and raklng it up to dry, so that it may be
burned. Usually the straw is fired as it
lays on the ground, and burns over the
plantations without the labor and expense

FREE SCHOOLS IN ENGLAND.

At the last session of the English Par
lament Scotland was successful in securing
the passage of an Act consenting to the
establishment in that section of Great
Britain of a free school system. The expert
ment has given great satisfaction to the
people, more, indeed, than the most ardent
of lis friends had expected. The result
has been that London is now prepared to
ask that similar system shall be estab-
lished there. So far has the idea taken
hold of London that the School Board of
that city has voted, three to two, to petit
ton for the extension of the system to the
whole of England. There is, of course,
opposition to this movement, and it comes,
as was to have been expected, from Church
quarters. The Church objects to public
control of all free schools. 1t insists that
it is the one authority to exercise control
over the church schools, and In that no
one will be likely to take issue with it.
but it goes beyond and insists also that the
free schools are likely to become the seeds
of atheism and liberalism that the
Church cannot view with other than alarm.
In America we laugh at such an idea.
The conception of free school system
that has nothing whatever to do with
other than the development and instruc-
ton of the intellect of the child in the
common English branches, and in those
fundamentals of mathematics, history,
geography and natural philosophy, that
every human being should be educated in
to some extent, is with us realized. The
true free school system does not in any
manner influence or train the child in any
religious belief-it is simply means for
the training of growing citizens into fairly
well-informed citizens, since ignorance is
political evil, leaving creeds, codes, faiths
and doctrines for private tuition by the
church and the family. The very fact
that the most powerful educational body
in the United Kingdom, the London
School Board, votes for the extension of
the Scottish system so as to apply to all
England testifes to the growth of the
idea in expansiveness, in which is en-
braced the free school system of our own
land. The time certainly is not far dis
tant when this idea will prevail in Eng
land, and free schools under popular con-
troll or direction will be found one of the
very best means of strengthening the Gov
eminent, and unifying the loyalty of the
people to the English system.

His PRAYER for remnsrance.

Seated next to Major Mitchell in the
Bates House dining-room was a man SO
years old, as lively as a man of 90. He
had been relating the story of a wild spree
he once had, telling how his horse had
thrown him and he imagined an elephant
was about to step on him. 1.-THE next day
was my birthday" said the old man, sand
my wife had invited a number of our
friends to come help US celebrate the event,
and here l was drunk as lord. When |
got into the house l saw that my wife for
the first time since | had known her looked
just as if her heart was ready to break. /
felt ashamed of myself. l sat down in a
chair and began to think what an ornery
cuss was. l pulled off my coat, kicked
off my shoes, and dropped to my knees be-
side bed. | never prayed before in my
life, and | never viii forget that prayer.
1t was short and to the point. / said right
there beside that bed
"'Oh, Lord, help me to quit drinking,
for id if can STOP
'That prayer was heard. / got up the
next morning without the least desire to
drink. / didn't have a headache, and
when the folks came to the house they
were as much surprised to find me sober as
/ was to be that way myself. That was
eleven years ago. and never have tasted
liquor since."-Indiandp0lis Neics.

An Impartial Judge.

As to California, incidentally l have
mentioned scope, opportunity; and it is
simply vast. People in the East have but
faint conception even of the territorial ex-
tent of California. You may measure of
from her domain territory equal to that
of New England, another equal to that Of
New York, yet another equal to that OF
Pennsylvania, and have left over tract
equal in area to New Hampshire and Ver-
mont. Counties there are equal to States
here. San Diego county is about the
size of Massachusetts,; Santa Barbara
county is more than twice the size of the
State of Rhode Island.
We hear a good deal of climate. The
fact is that, within the State limits, one
may find almost any climate. The State,
running north and south, following the
windings of the coast, is little less than
a thousand miles in length. 1t traverses
ten degrees of latitude; and ten degrees
of latitude embraces Eastport and Cape
Hatterass. Further, it is traversed from
end to end by range of mountains, and
is washed for its entire length by the Pa
cifc Ocean. These conditions give Cali
fornia climate of endless variety. Travel
ing by the Central Pacific, one may in the
early morning be in bowling snow-storm
at Truckee, and ere noon, gliding down
into the Sacramento valley, look out upon
miles of waving grain, gardens in the
beauty of lilies and roses, fields afame
with wild flowers of every hue. In the
southern part of the State, in the San
Gabriel valley, he may pick oranges
while looking up at the snow-drifts on the
submits above him. According to ones
liking, too, warmer or cooler, he may
always find climate that shall be health

IN A NUTSHELL.

The San Francisco Alta says, speaking
of the senseless demand of committee"
of the unemployed in that city for GER
tain rate per capita for the expenditure of
the charitable fund raised to relieve dis
tressed workingmen, said-but probably
without sufficient warrant-to be very
numerous In the metropolis, says:
"A, a charitable citizen, has $40 which he
can afford to spend in relieving want, and eight
of his fellow-men, equally worthy and equally
in need, apply to him for assistance, which Is
better-that he should give 81 25 to each of the
eight and relieve TO that extent the necessities
OF ali or that he should give 81 apiece to five of
them, and leave the other three TO take their
chances of starvation? The latter course is
what the men who have allowed themselves to
be guided by the counsel of Messrs. Wiley, Nc
EcKinley and Steinman insist that this COM
mittee of citizens shall pursue. Mr.. Wiley told
the committee that the disbursing OF these char
table contributions in the manner proposed
would do great ham by lowering the standard
NJ wages What in the name of common sense
has rI,e standard of wages 10 do with the dis
fribution of relief fund raised by the voiun-
tarv. contributions of the charitableg II men
are in distress. the object and purpose OF charity
bic, not to provide amply for certain proper
ton and leave the rest TO starve.
That is the whole matter in nutshell.
Fortunately for the cause of honest labor,
a roodly number of honest men who want
work have come forward and repudiated
the imprdent demand Of the so-called
sscommittee of the unemployed and have
accented the labor offered at the wage
named. These declare that the committee
had no authority to make the demand
they did. and in the name of lahoring
men they repGdiate their statements that
the charity rate would establish fixed
figure for Park labor. We are very glad
that these citizens have had the courage
to denounce the demagogues who we're
lately leading them, as is now shrewdly
surmised, for Interior purposes relating
very closely to political scheming. But
the small number applying for the work
offered in Golden Gate Park justifes the
Judgment already pronounced by the
REcoRD-UNIoS, that the distress in San
Francisco has been greatly exaggerated,
and that there is by no means the suffer-
