A Road to Isle of hope.

A Taxpayer" in a communication pub
lished in the MORNING NEWS Wednesday,
opposes the construction OF public road
from this city to the Isle OF Hope for
the reason that the taxpayers OF the
county are already as heavily burdened as
they ought to be. He estimates that the
cost Of the road wolld be between 1900
and $50,0OO, and that il would cost several
thousand dollars year to keep the road in
repair. 1t Is evident that Taxpayer" has
not given the subject very careful thought.
Unless those capable Of making estimates
for roads are greatly mistaken, the cost Of
a road TO the Isle of Hope would not be
more than IS, 700, il built by contract, and
it would be cons dsraoly less II built by the
county with convict labor.
OF course the construction of the road
and the keeping Of it in repair would cost
the taxpayers something, hut is not every
good road burden to the taxpayers! Are
not the two toll roais which lead out of the
city a tax, and a pretty heavy one, upon
the peoplel Is not every farmer VINO uses
them in bringing his truck to market, and
every citizen Of Savannah who drives over
them, taxed much more than enough to
keep them ia good repairl Think Of It'll
Tue main highways leading out OF the city
eastward and southwark are owned by
private parties, who levy tax upon all who
use them. These roads really obstruct the
growth and prosperity of the county.
The proposition of the county commits
sio le's is to construct an air line road to
the Isle Of Hope. The road will run for
three miles through lands owned by the
county, thus making the lands three or four
times as valuable as they are now. The
road, therefore, would eventually reduce
taxation. It would not only enable the
county TO sell these county lands for a sum
beyond what can now be obtained for
them that would more than pay the cost of
constructing the road, but the taxes from
the lands thus increased in value would
more than keep the road in repair.
And what beautiful avenue the road
could be madsl Straight as an arrow,
seventy-five feet wide, with trees ON either
side of it, in the course Of o very few years
it would be one Of the attractions of the
county.
II it were possible to make a good dirt
road a shell road would not be thought Of,
but neither clay nor stone can be obtained
at reasonable est. Shells, therefore, are
necessity for a good hard road.
Perhaps If every road in the county were
shelled the people would be better Off from
a financial standpoint than they are now,
for then they would have something
for the money spent upon the roads.
Now the roads. although a good deal of
money and labor is expended upon them,
are almost impossible. There is no salts
faction in travelling upon them, and the
wear and tear upon horses. vehicles and
harness are something enormous. Tax
payer" should do little thinking before
condemning public enterprise that would
be of great benefit to very large portion
OF the people of the county.

A Dilemma.
No. T.I-

Very recently a rumor in a western city rose
About dire contagion-one Of beauty flercest

The very name of small pox sent a shudder
through the air.
And kept the doctors busy vaceinating all the
fair.
But the belle of all the city met with good old
Dr. Brown
At the governors reception that was given in
the town,
ROBBED in a gown decollete, the magnet of all
eyes,
That, like modern novel, left but little TO sur.

up in his face,
I'D let you vaccinate me, but cannot find a
place;
cannot bear that horrid scar upon my arm,
you know;
Can't you suggest some other way, SO that it
will not snowf"
The good old doctor took one look, and then he
blushed and smiled,
And said, "Hum-ha; in your case it's difficult

You want it where it won't be SEEM" and then
he grinned full wide;

The Convicts of the Nation

A recently issued census bulletin relative
to the convicts Of the country indicates that
crime is on the increase. The compiler of
the statistics for the bulletin, however, says
that it is not possible yet to make fair
comparison between the criminal statistics
of the tenth census, aud those of the
eleventh, because all the data for the
eleventh have not yet been sifted and put
into proper shape.
When the tenth census was taken the
population Of the country was so, 1885, 1888,
and the total number of convicts was So, 53S.
The ratio was 700 in each 1000, 010 The
eleventh census showed the population to
be 60, 622. $50, aud the number of convicts to
DO 46,2Ss, the ratio being 722 to each 1.0Oo,-
0l0, an increase of Ii to the million.
Owing to the difference of the criminal
laws in the different states classification Of
the convicts is almost impossible. For in
stance, in some of the states there are per-
sons convicted of fell 1nies confined in county
jails, while in other states there are persons
convicted Of misdemeanors confined in the
penltentiaries.
OF the penitentiary convicts 43,442 are

comparison with those of 1880, show that
women are becoming better, for while the
census of that year showed that As per
cent. Of the convicts were women the CEN
sus Of 1890 shows that less than per cent.
of them are women.
There are more convicts In the northern
states in proportion to the population than
in the southern, and the northern states
have more convicts in proportion to the
population whose parents werehatives than
| the southern.
The greatest increase in the number Of
criminals in proportion to the population
since the tenth census was taken has been
in the western states. The increase in the
southern states has not been very great.
The number of convicts in the penitentiaries
in some of the states is as follows: New
York 8, 100, Texas s. 319. Pennsylvania 3, 1861
Illinois 2,057, California 2,051, Georgia

but not many convicts. There are few con.
victions in that state. Can it be because

Revenge For the Eat Man.


A fat man, with q good-natured. pudgy face
and wonderful jag. boarded a Broadway car
at 1wenty-tnird street O few nights ago, and
sat down with a great lunge and gasp. says
the New York sun He placed his hands on his
knees and leered around as though expOstu-
lating against a suspicion that he wasn't a
member OF Temperance organization. Opposite
him sat three slim young men, who shifted a.
him scornfully and stuck their noses in the air.
These evidences of their contempt were so mani
fest that they prevented the fat man from
slumbering, which he desired to do Finally he
drew the lids slowly from his bullying eyes, and
sleepny surveyed the three young men, They
shifted again, and tossed their heads. The fat
man laoored for a minute with thought.
Then he said in loud voice:
"Cashr'
1t came like a shot and startled an old maid
in the front Of the car who was shaking her
70 thester. The slim young men blushed and
glared
The fat man kept his bullying eyes fixed
steadily upon the young men, and without per
uniting the slightest expression 10 settle on his
face, said again:
''Cashr''
The slim men grew pale this time and fidget-
ed uneasly in their seats. It was clear now
that it was the deliberate intention of the lat
mar to insult them They were plailly vexed
and IL was only question of time when they
would get really angry. But the fat man didn't
care. The ought he had INDUCED in devel-
oped the belief that he had a wrong to avenge,
and so he SAID again, with the same inmovable
face:
Cash ~
Ali the other passengers in the car began to
appreciate the situation. and there was con-
siderable snickering, that fell upon the air like
halstones on tin roof The slim men con-
ferred together in q pale and agitated manner.
aud then one of them waved finger at [ he con-
ductor, and the coadnctcr smothered a laugh
in bis sleeve and pulled the bell. The slim men
rose slowly, and started In a dignified manner
toward the rear platform. This aroused the
faculties Of the fat man. and he yelled Cash -
so flercely that the slim men dropped their
dignity, and, scramhling hastily toward the
platform, cropped into the street.
Thsn the fat man went quietly to sleep.

Secretary WINDOWS Last Story

A few minutes before Secretary Window en-
tered the banquet hall at Dslmonico's that fatal
night, says the New York World, he met Bill
Nye in the lobby Of the hostelry. For years the
late secretary and Nye were the closest of
friends and many joke has been discussed be.

Wade. as you remember, was devoid of hair
on his head and always wore a wig of raven
black. One day. just after he had concluded a
very strong speecffin congress, he was waited
upon in the lobby Of the capitol by young
woman.

An Interloper.

Mr.. Buckley is holding on 10 the office of
governor in Connecticut at a considerable
loss of retrospect. The other day Gov.
Hill, of New York, refused to recognize him
as governor, and his requisition for prls-
oner confined in New York Jail was not
honored. He would like to have an oppor-
tunity, doubtless, 30 retaliate on Gov. Hill,
but he will not be gratihed 10 that respect
The Senate of Connecticut also refuses to
recognize him. He sent a number of APP
pointments to that body recently for con-
firmation, but they have not been acted
upon, and it is not probable that they
will be-
The republicans in Connecticut are trying
to defeat the will OF the people. At pre- ent
the prospect of their success is not bright
The democrats know what their rights are
and are insisting upon them. The republi-
cans may get tired after awhile trying to
force compliance with their scheme to steal
the state Offices.
Mr.. Buckley knows very well that the
democratic state officers were elected. The
state board of canvassers made a return
which shows that they were. If Mr..
Bulkeley we're disposed to do what Is right
he would turn the gubernatorial Office
over to his democratic successor.
He hopes, probably, by usurpatiou to
hold the office for another term. 1t can't
be possible, however. that he gets much sat-
isfaction out of it. Ignored by the Senate
OF the state. treated with contempt by the
governor Of an adjoining state, and sneered
at by the people. he must have very little
self-respsct to insist upon playing the role
of governor under such circumstances.

Avoid draughts and sudden changes Of tenn

Do not discard your warm winter clothing too

sons is the most annoying kind, and may last
through the summer.
If you feel a cough or cold coming on, take a
drink of pure whiskey at once. It will keen thu
blood in circulation and is the best preventive
against the disease of the season.
Remember that only pure whiskey should b.
taken. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has the

standard medicinal whiskey. Take no otber

The Georgia Ohautauoua.

The third annual session of the Georgia
Chautauqua will soon begin. The home of
the Chautauqua is Albany, one of the most
attractive cities in the state. Pure water,
pure air and delightful climate are found
there. Indeed, there is no more delightful
climate in the world than that of Southwest
Georgia.
The Chautauqua has steadily grown in in
huence. 1t is a much larger institution
than it was the first year of its existence
Its purpose is not to make money,
but to aid in the develop
ment of the educational, moral and
religious interests Of the people. And it is
fully capable of doing all it aims to do. 1t
has excellent instructors-there are none
better-and it can hardly fail to give a
strong influence to self-culture,
The Chautauqua deserves to succeed, not
only because it is meritorious institution,
but also because the people of Albany, who
are SO deeply interested in it, and have done
SO much for it, are making earnest efforts
for its success. 1t has already done a vast
amount Of good. Its influence is widely
felt, and each succeeding year will strength
en- its hold uponthe affections of the people.
