Pointing Toward Savannah.

A few days ago the MORNING NEWS, in
speaking of Savannah's bright prospects,
took occasion to say that about all the roads
that were being built, or that were pro-
jected, in Georgia, were looking for a sea-
board outlet at this port. The esteemed
Etqttirer-SuIl, without denying this state
ment, appeared to express doubt of its cor
rectness. 1t did not attempt, however, to
point out wherein it was incorrect. 1t may
be that it has some information that it is
not yet at liberty to give to the public. If
that is the case we shall have to wait
awhile, perhaps, before finding out what it
had in mind when it gave expression to its
yelled doubt.
At present there are four lines of railway
which may reasonably be expected to make
this city their seaboard outlet. They are
the South Bound, the Middle Georgia and
Atlantic, the Macon aud Birmingham, and
the Savannah and Oconee The probability
is that all of these roads will be built within
the next year. The South Bound is getting
ready to begin work, the Middle Georgia
and Atlantic has quite number of miles
graded already. the Macon and Birming-
ham is being built rapidly, and the Savan-
nah and Oconee has men behind it who
know no such word as fail
In the meantime Savannah is having a
remarkably vigorous growth, and when the
foregoing roads are built they will give her
animpetus that will draw the attention of
the whole country to her. She will have a
territory tributary to her that will give her
an immense business-a business that will
support three or four times her present
population.
We are gratified that all the cities and
towns of Georgia are growing and prosper
Gus. The greater their prosperity is the
greater the prosperity of Savannah will be-
Savannah is the seaport of all of them, and
of the entire state, and of other states. Sa-
vannah's wharves now present very busy
scenes, but when the prosperity comes to
her that is now in sight her wharves must
be greatly extended. Those she now has,
though miles in extent, will not be equal to
the demands upon them.

Many of those who commit suicide do so
for reasons that appear strange, and which
justify the suspicion that they were insane
when they committed the rash act A
couple of mouths ago Denver newspaper
published an account Of an alleged plot,
concocted by two boys, to kidnap ex-senator
Tabor, Of that city, and compel him to pay
them a large sum to release him. 1t is
probable that there was never such plot.
The names of the boys were given, how
ever, In the newspaper account, and they
were brought into great nouoriety. One of
the boys was a very sensitive little fellow,
and the story affected him so much thnt on
Sunday he killed himself. He left letter
in which he said that he had never enter
tanned any criminal intent with regard to
ex-senator Tabor.
