A Sign of Good Isreedine.

One of the most convincing signs of
good breeding is respect for other peoples
rights. We all subscribe to that state
ment in theory. Yet how many of us
always remember in any public place,
in the street car OF at a hotel table not
to introduce the two subjects that are
inevitably certain to hurt some one pres
ent-religion or politics? Women are
not exempt from dabbling in politics,
though generally professedly ignorant of
public affairs. Sometimes their speeches
apropos of ones favorite politician re-
mind one of the hint conveyed in the as
sertion that the wasp can sting as well
without its head as with it.-Chicago

A TREMENDOUS BUSINESS.
The Large Traffic Handled by the
Ocean Steamship Company,

A glance at the list of consignments of
goods brought south by the Ocean Steam
ship Company will give some idea of the
tremendous amount Of traffic that is be-
ing handled by this line
But the freight business going north dur
ing the last month or six weeks has been
larger than at any time since last winter.
In fact business has been on the increase
ever since Sept. 1, and an immense
amount of oranges and other Florida pro-
duce as well as cotton have been shipped
north by this line During that time the
company has had all the business it could
well handle, and while the business COM
ing south is not quite so heavy as it is go
ing north, and although the entire num-
Der of steamers has been put back on the
line, the company has about all it can

company to a great disadvantage, as Mir.

it had just been repaired and would have
been extremely useful on the line this
winter
The earnings of the company during
the months of July, August and Septem-
Der were comparatively small, as is
shown by the quarterly report. but then
there were only four steamers on the line
between Savannah and New York, two of
them being laid up for repairs almost
during the entire summer. 1t may be set
down as certain that the next quarterly
report will show the earnings of the com

LONG STABLES SIG oRop.
The Cause of Its Rapid Movement
This Year.


MIR. w. G. Robinson of the firm of H
F. button & Co, of Gainesville, Fla, is
at the DeSOto. The firm is one of the
largest buyers of long staple cotton in
this section of the country. In speaking
of the rapid movement of the crop this
season as compared with last, MIR. Robin
son said last night:
"There is number of causes why long
staple and other cotton, too, for that mat
ter has moved to market more rapidly
this year than last The fact, however,
is no indication that the crop is larger
than it has been heretofore. Some buyers
are estimating it at $1,000 bales, but in
my opinion it will not go beyond $4,000 or
81, 600
"The rapid movement of the crop may
be accounted for by the fact that there is
large number of new gin houses which
have sprung up in the last year. Then,
too, almost every day for the last six or
eight weeks has not only been a good har-
vest day, but also a good ginning day.
The farmers have needed money, and
this year they found more trouble than
before on account of the hard times in
getting advances on their crops, and
they have consequently been forced tC
harvest and market it early. The crop
in my opinion, is not above the average
and l hardly think from now on it viii
move as rapidly as it has of late"

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.
It VIII Convene at Dawson, on
Dec. ID.

The South Georgia Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church will meet at
Dawson, Dec. 10. The pastors of the
Methodist churches will be the only dele
gates who will attend from Savannah.
The vacant pastorate of Trinity church
will be filled by the conference, but as the
appointments are always kept secret IN
til after the conference meets, no one
here has much of an idea who will be DR.
Jarrell's successor.
. The conference may send a new pastor
to Wesley Monumental church. REV. c.. f.
bowman has been in charge of the church
now for three years and it is very seldom
that pastor is allowed to remain at one
charge for longer time. His congrega-
ton will make strong effort, however,
tohave DIR. Bowman retained here another
year. 1t is hoped that they will be sue
cessful. Besides his efficient work as a
pastor, DIR. Bowman has established him
self as one of the leading diyines If the
city, and his removal would be regretted
by many besides his own congregation.
Bishop Galloway, of Mississippi, will
preside over the conference

ternoon Watson had an armful of TASKS
filed with liquor without corks. This
circumstance was considered suspicious,

obtained from Deignan's place.
If Mr. Deignan can identify any of the

laid in Kent, England, hundred years

Then comes a trio, Dorothy, Lydia and

of gentle birth who are masquerading
as bar maids, and ensnare Wilder

MRS. w. C. LovETT DEAD.

Rev. w. f. Smith, the pastor of Grace

death of his sister, Mrs w C. Lovett, at
her home in Columbus Mrs. L.ovett was
the wife of Rev. w. c. Lovett, who was

friends during her stay in Savannah, who
will hear of her death with regret.
The deceased was an estimabe Chris

husband in his ministerial work. The
news of his sisters death was a great
shock to MIR. Smith, coming so soon after
his mothers death, which occurred in
Columbus on the first of the month. He
has the sympathy of many friends here
in his affiictlOn.
Mr.. Smith left last night for Columbus

A Gorgeous Drum kard Mill.

Browns bar in West End is
being fixed up s'out of sight"
Billie, the Chief, and the genial
proprietor spend all their spare
time in decorating. Growing
flowers and evergrecns can be
seen on every hand. 1t is their
ambition to have one of the pref
tiest places in tho South. When
the sun has hid its face behind
the western hills and the twin
king and glittering stars are
dancing in the heavens, then it is
that the laughing, genial counte-
nance of our young friend John
Bowers can be found behind the
bar of this ever popular resort
Jackson Evening News.
From the above, it would seem
the late squirt of Prohibition en-
thusiasm which was kindled by
DIR. Culpepper, and which for
awhile promised so much for NOR
al reform in the Capital City, has
about spent itself and that this
highlicensed gin-mill, under the
inspiration of comfortable sense
of security, has gone to growing
evcrgreens and preparing to con-
tinuc in the business of manufac-
turing patients for the Allen and
Keeley institutes indefinitely.
THE LEADER has never consid-
cred local option as any thing bet
ter than temporary expedient,
in several respects vicious in prin-
ciple; but if the Jackson Prohi-
bitiOni>ts who believe in it as Il
remedy, were as far-seeing as
they ought to be, if they haven't
the strength in Jackson to. stop
the dram-shop nuisance by ma
jority contemplation, they would
lose no time in calling a county
local option election. Meridian
is an object lesson of the folly of
the policy now being relied on in
Jackson, if one were needed.
When it is remembered that
the above-described seductive
"palace Of sin" is located within
fifty yards of where every
boy and young man who goes to
Millsaps College has to get off
and on the cars, all true friends
of that institution both in and
out of Jackson ought to feel an
increased desire to detrOy this
and all other legalized death-traps
in that city by any lawful means
available.
