A Chance to Celebrate.

The South Bound railroad is to be flushed
through South Carolina as far as Columbia
on Oct. %. To the MORNING NEWS such
an event appears 10 be invested with sufti-
Gent importance 70 be celebrated WITH all
the pomp and hurrah usually attendant
on such occl sions.
It has been a very long time since the
people of Savannah built a railroad. Bat
the building of the South Bound railroad is
one of the conspicuous indications of their
spirit of enterprise and their energy and
self-confidence, and should be SO regarded
with pride.
The building of this railroad shows the
same sense of appreciation Of the growing
importance OF the city that was manifested
IN building the magnificent De Soto, tho
imposing county building and the rebuilding
Of the desert waste that marked the track of
the great fire. Street improvements, the
extensive quarantine stations and the new
water works, aud new street railroads, and
other enterprises all contribute to indicate
the elastic impulses OF progress that animate
our people.
The people OF South Carolina from the
Congaree to the Savannah ara interested in
our deep water project and we want to
know them. To make their acquaintance
under tire most favorable circumstances we
should bring them TO Savannah. Let those
who have control get up a celebration in
honor of the completion of the South Bound
railroad.
So good an opportunity to establish closer
ralafiorz With fOh prs obn,,iI or bo
neglected. 1t would be valuable to Savan-
nah's various interests aside from the inau
guration of the very important enterprise
whose completion it would be designed to
celebrate. Nc time should be lost in
making a start toward organizing the
movement

In "A Book of Vagrant Men and Vagrant
Thoughts Alfred T. Story gives the following
graphic description of a street incident: II
was once" he says, IAN eye witness of an anus
ing, and at the same time pathetic incident in
an East End thoroughfare, in which a poor
futist was the chief actor.
1T happened one bleak night in December
The streets were almost deserted, and bitter
wind was driving down the streets. carrying
everything before it. Few people were about.
Nevertheless wretched flute player despite
the wind, was trying to blow few coppers
from the pockets of the chance wayfarers.
He seemed TO be in the last stage of con
sumption. His long, black coat was pinned
across his throat in a way that suggested his
shirtless condition, while on his face was
written q whole jeremiad of voc.
Although he blew into his pipe with all the
might he could command, yet he produced no
sound. The gale was too strong for him. The
fierce gusts seemed TO be blown through an
through the poor fellow. ami with such search
log keenness that the wonder was that the soul
of the man was not blown out OF his lean body.
Presently a big, lusty, well-fayored man
came along. He observed curiousy for min
ute or two the poor tlutist's efforts ito
raise the wind, then quietly taking the inStru
ment out of his hands he applied it to bis own
lips, at the same time telling the poor fellow to
go before and hold the bat.
He did so,whereupon the worthy citizen COM
menced to blow out such liquid flood of melo-
dy that every pasSerby stood and listened. and
many OF the listeners put their hands into their
pockets and cast their maravedi into the
reversed head-cover.
Thus the two men went the length of the
street. Then the rubicupd Orpheus returned
the flute to its owner, wished him good night
and bit of supper and turned to go.
But the poor tluter. grateful for his unex-
pected windfall, gently detained his bene-
factor, and thinking he was in the
profession. proposed to divide With him the
results of their joint effo is; but the stranger
would not hear of it and FASTENED quickly away
the other meanwhile delaying his much-needed
supper to look alter him WITH dimminS eyes. "

Some unsatisfactorv stre sts.

In due course of time Bull stree. is to
be paved FROM Bay street eouthw ward to
CASTOR. Bryan street is also to be similarly
improved from Drayton to Whitaker.
While they are at it the city authorities
should not fail to provide for paving the
streets III the vicinity of the new county
court house with asphalt
None of the streets in that vicinity are
paved except Drayton. Even that street is
paved with cobbe st mes so that the noise
from vehicles passing over it is at times so
deafening as 20 render it impossible to hear
q person speak in the eastern rooms of the
court building.
York and President streets, 10 their un-
paved condition, do not look we'll in con-
junction with the elegant county building.
No doubt the county authorities would
be willing for the county to bear its full
share Of the expense of the suggested i'm
provements. In doing this tho commissioners
would certainly receive the hearty indorse--
ment of the grand juries whose sessions are
greatly disturbed by the noises that at pres
emit prevail INCREASINGLY on Drayton street.
This is matter Of so much Importance
as to deserve Immediate attention.
