LISTENED TO SPEECHES.
No Political Action Yet Taken by
the Veterans Union League.

The regular meeting of the Union
Veterans league was held last night in
the basement of theWright block instead
of in the Richardson block, as formerly,
the latter having been decided upon
as the regular meeting place of
the organization. 1t is still rather
early in the season for much political
work, and this, combined with the hot
weather, makes the league meetings
rather tame as yet. Some political ac-
ton is, however, promised for the near
future. Last evening the veterans
listened to speeches for the good Of the

A boy was drowned at the Franklin
avenue bridge yesterday just after
noon, and at o'clock last night the
coroner knew nothing of it. The police
say that a notification was sent to the
coroner's office, but it did not reach

had not been removed to the morgue
nor taken home. There is something
radically wrong somewhere.
Judge Young has telegraphed that
the last signature to the crossings con-

Gaorria Editors.

About 60 Of the editors of Georgia. with

They Will visit the chief points Of Interest in

from the time they leave Gsorgia's soil
until they return it.
The party is composed almost wholly of
editors ofweekly publications, aud it is not
too much to say that the country papers Of
Georgia are superior to taose of any other
state in the union. These weekly publlca-
tons exercise a very great Influence, and
the reason is that they are conducted by
thoughtful and conscientious men
WHO are proud Of Georgia, proud
Of her prosperity and proud of the
high position she occupies among the
states. They make her interests their in
tereSts. and in whatever they publish they
keep her welfare steadily in view. They
are men who give far more than they re-
ceive, because if it were not for the
influence for good which they exert in
their respective communities the people
would not make the effort to
improve their material condition that they
do, and the wheels OF progress would move
less rapidly. Their power may rot always
be admitted, because it is not recognized by
| the masses, but the close observers uGder-
stand that the country publications, which go
into households where the daily newspaper
is seldom seen, suggest the thoughts that lift
the people to q higher level and awaken a
desire for Improvement. Wherever the
| country newspapers are in the hands of
earnest men, there are found schools and
| churches and productive farms. The edi-
tors of The country newspapers are power,
and Georgia owes far more TO them than
they get credit for.
Some of the editors in Middle and North
Georgia appear to think that Savannah is
not heartily in sympathy with other parts
Of the state. They must get rid of that
idea. There is nothing of which Savannah
is SO proud as thet she is a Georgia city, and
the great seaport Of the greatest of the
southern states. She is the gate
way through which Georgia's products
reach the sea on their way to foreign
markets. She knows that her growth in
wealth and population depends upon
Georgia, and her people therefore seek the
closes fellowship with their fellow citizens
of other parts of the state. The Georgia
editors will find this to be true, and if they
make it known on their return to their
homes, they will do Savannah a service
that will be appreciated.
