J. H. REEpER, the republican
elected in Ellis county to the legis'
,lature, has declared emphatically
against ingalls, for senator. His
grievance is the appointment Of S
Motz to a land Office position by
Senator Ingalls,. Motz is Reeder's
political enemy, and Reeder pro-
poses to get even. He has annoqnc-
ed himself in favor of P. P. Elder
for senator and his friends claim
that there are three other republi-
cans who will vote for Elder with
Reeder. With this understanding,
ReedeF's seat will probably not BE-
contested as was the original intent
ion of the Ellis county alliance

THR senate committee appointed
two years ago to revise certain por-
tons Of our state laws is ready to re-
port to the governor. Many of their
recommendations are good and
should receive attention BY the COM
ing legislature. But their report is
certainly a disappointment, mas
mpch as the reforms and retrench-
ments they recommend, If carried
out, would make but little difference
syen in the aggregate to the tax
payers Of the various counties. It
is apparent to US that the commit
tee did not have the nerve to strike
at the root of the burdens under
which the people Of Kansas are

We observe that there is a good
deal said in the dispatches from
Ocala in regard to the third party
movement In the alliance convention.
The southern alliance men have too
much sense to engage in any third
party foolishness. They know they
cannot break away from the demo-
cratic party.

a Meeting Called to Nominate a Can
didate for Senator

q Meeting Called to Nominate a Can
didate for Senator.
The senatorial situation In Bryan county
will have to be settled pretty coon. The
district convention will be held two weeks
from next Monday. Since the postpone
ment Of the convention from Aug. 6, the
date first fixed upon by the district execu-
tive committee, the situation has been
complicated by the failure of the
Bryan delegation to agree upon
candidate.
A meeting was held at Clyde last week
for the purpose of taking some action
in regard to what the meeting claims
to be the refusal of the county executive
committee to call the party together or to
allow it in some manner to elect q candidate
for senator. The meeting was organized by
electiug 7. c. Morgan chairman and j. j.
Hayman secretary.
The following resolutions were offered and
unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, The Democratic party of the county
of Chatham In mass meeting assembled on
Aug. last passed unanimously q resolution
giving 70 the party IN thus Bryan county the
right and privilege Of selecting from the county
the candidate for state senator, and
WHEREAS, Our executive committee have de-
chned and refused to convene the party in any
manner whereby said candidate may be
selected, and believing that it is our right
and privilege to express our wishes in this mat
ter, and TO say who is our choice for said office
there having been no expression of the party as
10 any particular person for the same; the
meeting of July 10, which elected our senate
rial delegates, simply required and directed said
delegates to vote for any Bryan county man
whom the delegates from Chatham county
would indorse; that is this meeting
left the selection of the candidate to Chatham
county; but now, since Chatham has granted to
as more than we expected we feel that not
wlthstanding the refusal Of our executive COM
mittee to call us together to select the candi-
date, that we within ourselves have the right
and power so TO do. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That we as citizens and members
OF the Democratic party of Bryan county, in
meeting assembled, do hereby call meeting of
the party at Bryan court house ON Saturday,
Sept. next, at ~ O'Clock m, for the purpose Of
selecting the candidate for state senator.
There has been good deal Of talking over
of the situation in Savannah and in Bryan
county, and the last report was that P. w.
Williams was in the lead as the choice of O
majority of the Bryan delegation.

LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE.
The Morning News Trade Review

The Morning News Trade Review.
Never in the business history of Savannah
has there been greater necessity for the
coming trade review of the MORNING NEWS
illustrating Savannah and her enterprises
than at present.
Savannah is the great seaport city of the
state. 1t is the gateway to the sea. The
products of vast territory empty them
selves here. Here are the headquarters of
the vast Central railroad system, per-
meating every nook and corner of Georgia,
Alabama and South Carolina. Here is the
terminus of the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway. bringing all Florida and
Southern Georgia to our very doors, and
now extending itself to the heart of Ala
bama, drawing tribute for the city from
that prosperous state.
Savannah has now a new outlet to the
timber lands and cotton fields lying along
the Savannah, Americas and Montgomery
and Savannah and Western roads. Along
all these roads are cities and towns and
villages. The trade of these should be Sc
cured for this city. Train their merchants
to trade with Savannah. Advertise our
city and ourselves, and let them know what
Savannah merchants can do.
The Trade Review, going everywhere,
finding every village, seeking every bust
ness man, at once introduces the city and
her business men. 1t aids the drummer on
lis rounds. 1t tells our new acquaintance
in the recently opened territory where we
are and what we are. Such trade issue is
directory, guide.
This is an age of reading. People look in
the newspapers TO find what they want.
Cannot our business men, arising to the
hight Of Savannah's bright future, aid in
making this trade review great mirror.
rejecting to the business world our beautiful
city in all her gloryl
This is Savannah's golden opportunity to
turn the tide of travel and trade to her own
doors, and thus secure the advantages which
nature and the sagacity of business men
have given her.
Every merchant in Savannah should be
| represented in the columns of this issue.
The cost is small; the returns great. Full
information will be furnished on applica-
ton to the BUSINESS OFFICE telephone, 1854.

The railroad commission has heretofore
made local rates for each road, but the last
legislature passed an act giving it the power
- make joint rates over the various systems,
II, in its discretion, IL saw fit TO do SO. These
joint rates will allow the shipment of GER
tain classes Of freight from any point in the
state over any number of railway systems,
whether two or more, at the same general
rate.
The commission decided that such a
system Of rates will be of benefit to the
general public, and has notified the rail-
roads of its intention of making such
system Of rates. The meeting of the freight
agents was to consider the question and
prepare system of joint rates to be sub
mitted 10 the commission. The subject was
fully discussed, but no agreement was
reached, and the meeting adjourned TO
meet in Atlanta Aug. q, to prepare table
of rates to be submitted to the commission
on the day following
Tho proposed rates which the railroad
companies desire to put in force are not In
tended to lessen the revenue of the railroads,
but are for the convenience of the general
public
The freight agents are not averse to such
system of rates on certain commodities.
such as lumber, fertilizers and agricultural
implements, as they realize that it would be
a great convenience to the roads as well as
to the public.
The subject Of cotton rates was not men,
toned, as they have already been agreed
upon. The conference was held at the Hotel
Tybee, which was kept open for the freight
agents accommodation. The agents were
handsomely entertained and spent a very
enjoyable time in Savannah.

aooD-BY. DEAR CAMEL, eooD-sY.
Touching Farewell of Arabs to a Be-
loved Four-Footed Friend.
From the Nelo York Journal

loved Four-Footed Friend.
From the Nelo York Journal
The party Of Arabs imported for the
French exhibition recently suffered sad
bereavement In the corral at the back Of
the great arena were discovered one even
ing two camels standing, their heads close
together, shivering with fear. and OCCASION
ally uttering short sigh-Iike cries.
An Arab came forward out Of the dark
ness, tears rolling down his dark cheeks, and
told the sad Story of the terrible accident to
his pet He walked 20 the middle Of the
yard and showed a deep hole about foot
ana a half square, hole which had
formerly held the rubbing post for the buff
faloes.
Tee Arab pointed TO it; then wringipg
bis hands, explained that the poor creature
had stepped into il in the dark, turned CON-
pletely over, and had broken its leg. Then
ne led the way to where the unfortunate
creature stood on three legs, uttering pierre
ing and agonizing means, aud holding up
the broken limb, which dangled heplessly
below the knee joint
The camel, after some difficulty, for the
animal was rendered most vicious from
pain, and continually snapped at any one
who touched it, was induced 20 lie down
upon its side. Ii was found that the fore
leg was broken in two places just below the
knee, and that all the surgical skill in the
world would be futile to save the camel.
Still the Arab prayed with fearful eyes and
broken voice for somthing to give his pet
relief. But surgeon arrived and in a
very short time had given his dictum that
the only relief possible was death.
When the news was conveyed to the
Arabs one buried his face in the thick hair
about the camel's shoulders aud moaned out
his last good-by to the animal, while the
other, with his arm around the poor beasts
neck, spoke soothingly TO it in his native
language, as he might have done to a child.
The scene was sad and grim, in a darkness
broken only by the glimmering lamplignts,
which occasionally showed the other two
camels huddled together in a corner, SILVER
ing and moaning as though they understood
the tragedy going on close by. their means
accumulated by the roars of the dying beast
short distance away.
Presently one Of the Arabs arose and
brought from the living quarters one of
those terrible, sharp, dagger-like swords
which his countrymen know So we'll how
to use. Then, kneellng over the beloved
animal, he and his friends seemed to utter
short PRAYER. Next, the sword cleaned
through the darkness ard was drawn with
deadly swiftness across the throat of the
suffering beast. The closing scene may be
conceived.
When In the desert a camel breaks its leg
not an uncommon thing-it is always
killed at once, but the Arabs had heard so
had thought 1t best to attempt trial at re-
covery. The dead camel was the Oldest of
the three with the troupe and was years
old
