TWO HOUSES BURN ED.
a 'S3,ooo Blaze IN the Southeastern
rrira Part of the City.


az Two two-story houses on Habersham and
Third streets were burned last night about
S 80 O'Clock. An alarm was turned in from
Box 42, on Waldburg street east of Price
and the departments made quick time con-
sidering the hard pulling which the hor ses
had 10 do through the heavy sandy streets
70 reach the scene Of the fire.
The houses burnt rapidly and were en- =
tirely, CONSUMED The firemen had hard
time in preventing spread Of the flames to
neighboring bouses,s and it was only after
hard and energetic work by Chief Puder
aud his men that g confsgration was
prevented. 3 3
2 The Belt Line car shed and works are only
few hundred feet from the scene of the
fee, and were In danger for sometime.
The houses were owned by the Misses Nc
Mahon, and we're occupied by j. L. Clifford
and Joseph Dickinson, both employees OF the
Belt Line. Both occupants lost their house,
hold effects. Clifford carried insurance,
but Dickinson did net. The houses were
insured for g. 600, and the total loss is about
s.. 900. o"i
The FIRE made big blaze and its ref1ec-
ton could be seen from all parts Of the city.
The Belt Line schedule was badly broken

DIDN'T OUT HIS THROAT.
The Mayor of Jesup Not 5loodthirst
Official.

The Mayor of Jesup Not 5loodthirsty
Official.
J. F. Stone, travelling agent OF the MORN
ING News, who has recently returned from
Jesup. says there is not the slightest foun-
dation for the recent wild western story
published OF the mayor OF Jesup shooting
down bad negro who had leveled his rifle
upon him, and after ward cutting the negroes
jugular vein with his pocket-knife when the
negro had fallen. The mayor said he badn't
even had hard word with anybody III a
month or more, white or black. He was
greatly surprised aud indignant when the
report appeared.
Some time ago the marshal of Jesup killed
or wounded negro who was resisting ar
rest, but he didn't cut bis ju2ular with a
pocket-knife or bowie-knife either. The
Savannah Munchausen who related the
story probably used this foundation to build
upon.

day morning. He brought the OK to town

Reports Concerning the Sea IslaI
Crop and It's Prospects.

Reports Concerning the Sea Island
Crop and It's Prospects.
The Sea Island Cotton report of Henry
W. Frost s. Co. of Charleston and Savan-
nah, issued Sept. 2 and received here yes
terday, contains some interesting informa-
ton upon the Sea Island crop. The report
states that the crop for the year 1S90>'9l Is
the largest ever marketed, amounting to
IS, 1876 bags. 1t was exported as follows;
Liverpool 34,297 bags, HAVE and the con-
tiuent 4, S2S. northern mills 26, COZ, leaving
in stock at the southern ports ., 494 bags.
OF the present sea island crop it is said
that up to Aug. Is the respects were gen.
orally good, but within toe last few days
there have been complaints from all sections
| of the heavy and continuous rains, and the
| advices now being received indicate large
falling off from the promise of the crop
week ago. In Carolina picking bad COM
menced before the rains. some of the white
planters crops being very promising and for
| ward. Owing to the recent excessive rains
the cotton is now suffering from rust, with
fears OF shedding and the plants putting on
a second growth.
"What the damage will eventually be-"
says the report, will depend upon the
| future of the weather. Should we have
a return of clear weather and bright SUM-
shine. permitting the planters to harvest
the cotton as 1t opens, We may commence
to have some fair receipts by the middle of
| September. Two bags only OF the new
crop have at this date come to market"
The same conditions are reported to pre-
vail in Georgia and Florida.
A flower was placed in the cotton ex-
change yesterday, and piece of paper at
tached read, From the Botanical Gardens
at Washington, D. c.; flower from the
| South American cotton plant" 1t was ap-
parently freshly plucked yesterday morn
! ing aud in appearance resembled lily. 1t
| is thought, however, that the flower came
! from jimpson weed or some wild plant Of
| that sort, and probably came from one of
| the botanical gardens of Yamacraw. 1t was
brought to the exchange by one of the
waggsh members.
Messrs. Butler & Stevens have received
| advices Of the shipment of two more bales
! of the Georgia sea island crop.
The factors were delighted yesterday
with q further advance in cotton, and

USE IN BEAUTY.

You may say that there is no use in
beauty, but there is, it makes the home
attractive, its surroundings more pleas
ing to the eye and more respectable, our
lives happier and dispositions more Sc
rene and sunny.
During the overhauling that you give
your premises this spring don't neglect
to add such touches of beauty as you
can. 1t is wonderful what magic effect
a little paint or whitewash has in bright
ening up home, whether applied with
in or without. Straighten up the door
yard fence and replace missing boards
or wickets. Remove the litter and trash
from ihe yard and give the grass a
chance to grow. Sod the bare places,
level up the holes, plant a few trees
where they seem to be needed and you
will be surprised how much this little
effort has improved the appearance of
your home.
House painting seems to cost a good
deal of money but when we reflect that
every dollar spent in that way adds
more than double that sum to the
durability of your house, as well as
adding immeasurably to its neat and
homelike appearance, we must conclude
that it is paying investment.

PUBLIC OPINION.
A SPECIMEN FREE TRADE THEORY.

A SPECIMEN FREE TRADE THEORY.
New York Mail and Express.
One of the theories advanced as an
argument by the radical free traders is
that inhabitants of Great Britain have
the privilege of a "free breakfast table :"
Let us see what constitutes this "priv-
ilege." About three-quarters of the
bread eaten is made of imported wheat;
the greater part of the ham and bacon
goes from the United States; Sweden,
Denmark and France fill the market
with butter; France and other CONT
mental countries send the supply of
eggs; fruit is pretty nearly all imported;
the sugar that sweetens the tea is pur-
chased from Germany, Holland and
France, who have driven the British
West Indian possessions out of the field.
All the tea and coffee used in England
are imported, one-half of the former
being bought from the British East
Indies, whose manufacturers in return
are cutting Manchester goods out of
Indian, Japanese and Chinese markets
simply by means of cheaper labor. And
yet the advocates of this theory ''point
with pride" to the workings of their free
trade doctrine, theory which cheapens
the necessities of life at the expense of
home labor.

GENEROSITY OF WEALTHY MEN.

GENEROSITY OF WEALTHY MEN.
From the New York Recorder.
"The wealthy men of to-day" said an
old-fashioned business man, "who have
acquired their riches, not by the
laborious old-time methods, but by
sudden strokes, ought to be extremely
charitable. l have for some years been
placed in position where could Judge
of the comparative generosity of some
of the wealthiest men in this country
have frequently had to call upon them
for subscriptions in cases worthy of
every mans charity, but it has always
proved very disheartening job. The
men whose fortunes are so large that
they themselves can hardly know the
extent of them are the hardest men in
the world to get $50 subscription from,
whatever the purpose to which it is to
be devoted. They are much closer with
their money than the men whose for
tunes are only moderate, and who ac-
quired their money by slow and laborious
methods. Perhaps the reason for this
lies in the fact that these extremely
wealthy men are overwhelmed with de-
mands for assistance and cannot afford
to waste time in answering all of them;
but even if such be the case, it is no
excuse for neglecting the calls of worthy
charities"

LAST year we consumed 3,406, ,982, 200
pounds of sugar of which,. .603.295.200
pounds were imported, leaving 500, ,692,-
900 pounds as the home production. If
the figures remain the same this year,
and the present average reduction of
two cents in price continues, the total
savings will be $68, ,139,764. If a bounty
of two cents is paid on every pound pro-
duced at home, it will cost $16,073, 1853,
leaving a net saving of $52,065, ,906.
But a lower price always stimulates
consumption, and it is estimated by
good authority that the increase in con-
sumption of sugar this year, from this
cause, will be at least 20 per cent.
Another thing must be considered.
There was very small fruit crop last
year, which had tremendous influence
on the amount of sugar consumed. But
if the increase in amount consumed is
only 20 per cent, and allowing pro-
portionate part to home production, the
net saving will be over $63,000,000.

THE RIGHT THING.

New York Tribune.
The Presidents action in placing a
portion of the Indian service under the
Civil Service rules will be commended
by fair minded men of all parties. The
order issued prior to his departure from
Washington applies to superintendents
and assistant superintendents, school
teachers, physicians and matrons. This
is the first practical step taken toward
divorcing our Indian Service from
politics. President Harrison evidently
has considered it earnestly, and his
action represents his mature judgment
on the question. After this entering
wedge, it will be easier to place the
entire Indian administration on a non
partisan plane.
