which has the interests of the projected
South Bound road in charge to get to works
What benefit is to be derived from any
further delay? Last fall it was said that an
effort to, raise the additional amount re-
quired toiinsure the success of the enterprise
would be made as soon as the bulk Of the
cotton crop was marketed, and the mer-
chants had time to give attention to the
matter. We'll, the cotton season is about
over. Very little cotton is now oming into
the hands of tho factors. Business men
have leisure. There is no more favorable
time than the present to make an effort in
behalf Of the South Bound.
Does anybody doubt that the road would
be paying one, or that it would contribute
largely to Savannah's prosperitya OF course
not. Money invested in it, there is every
reason to believe, would be profitably in
vested. Why, then, this delay in getting
subscribed the additional $25, 900 that is
neededl
If we want to build up Savannah we
must work together, work earnestly, and
never show any signs of WEAKNESS. If we
make up our minds to have the South
Bound road, we can have it in operation
by the beginning of next year.

He Sat Down.
Eronl the Nom York Trfb,lnc.

There is a sound of the voice, common, I be-
lieve, TO all the Ian yuages or peoples of the
world, which cannot be spelled. far as
know. 1t means an inquiry, it means an assent,
1t means establishment, it means anything and
everything. 1t is not cultural sound like the
ugh - of the savages, nor is it ''umph!'' Bat it
sounds more like uh than anything else, yet
that phoneticism, SO to phrase it, does not
convey the full articulation.
There was a gentleman, Judge Jack"
Wright of Indiana, well known in Washington
several years ago who used that sound with
rising infection at the % of each sentence he
uttered. He an Indian agent for several
years, and now lives quietly in a cottage at
Berkeley Springs on the meager savings from
the salary and perquisteS of that Office. In auto
bellum days Judge Wright sat on the bench in
Indiana, and on one occasion there came before
him the late Chief Justice Cartier, who had a
peculiar habit of stammering at the middle of a
word. He did not stutter at the beginning of
it, but Stammered in the middle. Well. Mr..
thing in the course of an argument before the
judge which the latter took umbrage al. Then
the following colloquy ensued:
Mr. Cartier, sit down, sir, uh?" said Judge
Wright.
IN no-o-o-t do it, sir" was the reply.
''Sit down, Mr.. Cartier, or I'll put you in
prison for contempt, uh?'' said the Judge.
''You ca-a-a-n't do it." was the reioinder;
there isn't ja-a-a-l in all your juris-is-i-dic-

In after years these gentlemen became great

took the greater satisfaction in telling the fore

Brice's Triumph.


/ bIr. Calvin S. Br.cs, VINO has been cho=en
/ senator from Ohio 70 succeed Senator
PAYNE viii not take his seat until a year
| from March 4. next. Very few men WHO
! ave sought high Office have been attacked
s. bitterly without cause. All kinds Of
! stories affecting his character were circu-
lated during theiprogress Of the senatorial
campaign. It was sail that he was not q
democrat from principle, that he accumu-
lated his fortune by dishonest methods and
that he purchased his election. OF course
there was no foundation for any Of these
! stories. Nobody believed them, trough
great many republicans pretended 70 do 50.
The stories did not do Mr.. Brice any harm
because they were understood to be cam
paign lies. II they had bean true they
would have been supported by evidence Of
some sort. TIE absence of evidence of any
kind was sufficient to rob them Of al power
TO injure Mr.. Brice
Il is right AMI proper that public men
should be held to a strict accountability for
their acts, but the practice of charging those
who seek public Office with offenses of more
or less gravity with the hope of lessening
their chances for success is one that should
be severely condemned. The tendency of
it is to cause them to be regarded with sus-
picion and to take from them some of their
power to serve the public.
1t is quite safe to say that Mr.. Brice did
not paw dollar to a single one Of those who
voted for him. He was chosen on his merits
alone 1t is true that be is very rich man,
and it is to be regretted that so many mil
lionaires are getting into the Senate, because
very rich men, as a rule, have business con-
nections which lead them to favor legislai
lion that is not always for the best inte ests
Of the masses, but the fact that a man is
rich should not be a sufficient reason for
shutting him out Of the public service.
There are rich men in congress who serve
the people more conscientiously and success
fully than some of the poor ones to be found
there.
Mr.. Brice is man of marked ability
Although he is a money-maker he has tai
ents for other things than money making.
He was at the head of the national demo-
cratic committee during the last presiden-
tial campaign, and he acquitted him self
HeAJ Cieulldoly III 1AuO poSlG.OH- oOue uen-
ocratic newspapers have said that the
democrats were defeated in that campaign
because of his bad IN nagement, but they
failed to convince the democratic leaders
that their statement was correct.
Mr.. Brice is comparatively young man,
and doubtless will make good senator. He
may not play great role in the Senate, but
it can be safely predicted that he will make
his influence felt in that BODY
