miles southwest by west from Frying Pan
shoals, he passed burning wreck, with
the tug Alexander Jones, of Wilmington,
N. c, lying by. When last seen the tug
had left, steering towards the land

that of the barkentine Freeda A. Wiley
of Thomaston. Maine, which was aband-
oned at sea, the crew being taken off by
the schooner Annie f. Kranz, and trans
ferred to the steamship Tallahassee and
brought TO the city.
The schooner James Moran of Savannah
is sunk opposite Spanish Wells, near the

TO LEAVE THIS MONTH.
The Southover Land Company's Com
mittee to Go to New England.

mlCtee TO 20 TO New England.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting of the Southover Land Company
to go to the New England states for the
purpose of interesting northern capitalists
in the cotton spinning industry in this
section will leave for the north on or about
Sept, 15
The committee originally appointed con-
sists of Messrs. G.. B. Whatley and E. f.
Bryan, but it is probable that Mr.. Bryan
will be unable to attend and that MIR. w
l.. Wilson will go in his place.
The Southover Land and Improvement
Company intends to interest New Eng
land capitalists in the building of cot
ton mills here in the midst of the cot
ton growing country besides which loca-
ton this section has every advantage in
the way of climate and facilities for trans
portation that can be found in any other
part of the country When the showing
made by the Savannah cotton mills is
laid before these New England capitalists
they will see at once that the south is
the place for the industry of spinning
cotton yarns, or at least that the section
around Savannah has every facility nee
essary.
The Southover Company has q large
tract of land out at Southover Junction
WHICH WOulu DS improved ana llOFe IMAM
doubled in value by the establishment of
these mills at this point The committee
selected to lay the plans and prospects of
the company before these capitalists is as
good one as could have been selected
for that purpose, and there is no doubt
but that they will be able TO accomplish
the object of their trip. They will go to
Boston, Lowell and other points in Mas
sachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire
and Rhode Island and will lay the matter

ALETTER FROM DIR. WHITE.
He Wants Bottle of Savannah Rive,
Water to Analyze.

He Wants Bottle of Savannah River
Water to Analyze.
Health Officer Drummer has received a
letter from Dr. j. II. White, now at Ham
burg, where he was transferred from Sa-
vannah by the marine hospital service, in
which he says thaeorders HAYS been is
sued that emigrants from that port to the
United States must be quarantined and
disinfected before leaving for this coun-
try.
This is the order which DR.. Drummer
thinks should have been issued year
ago, and should now be applied to all emf
grants to this country from European
ports.
DR.. White requested DR. Drummer to
send him a sample of Savannah river
water taken from the river at low water
below Bilbo canal, and also one taken
further up the river He requested that
the samples be sent in sterilized bottles
only half filled so that the 'ani-
mails contained therein would not
perish in transit. The water
is wanted for Prof Dunbar, scientist of
the Hygienic institute at Ham burg, who
is collecting samples of river water from
all over the world for scientific expert
ments. DR.. Whites request will be com
piled with
DIR. Drummer says any comma bacilh,
cholera germs, which might be deposited
in the specimen of Savannah river water
would die a sudden and horrible death
He considers this an unnecessary cruelty
to the bacilli which should not be al
lowed
DR.. White says in his letter that cholera
bacilli or germs indistinguishable from
them exist in the Elbe, Sale, Spree and
other German rivers

Ten Clerks Dropped From the S., f.
and w. Offices.

The Savannah, Florida and Western
railway made a general reduction in its
clerical forces night before last. About
ten clerks were discharged, or suspended,
as it is called in the Office of the freight
agent and on the wharf The clerks were
not discharged outright, but suspended
for from one to three months.
The reduction was I ainful surprise to
those who suffered by it, as it was sup
posed that with the busy season just be-
ginning there would be no more suspen-
sions now. Those of the employees sus-
pended will seek employment elsewhere.

WILL TAKE SOME TIME
For Charleston to Get Itself Rehabil-
itated,

Capt. Luigi Trepani Italian consul at
Savannah, returned from Charleston last
night, where he has been looking after
several Italian vessels that were wrecked
in that vicinity. Capt. Trepani said that
Charleston has not yet recovered from
the effects of the fearful storm of a week
ago, although it is rapidly doing so. The
streets are still Uttered with the roofs of
houses and the wreckage of the storm.
The gas mains are broken at many
points, and the smell Of the escaping gas
mingled with that of decaying vegeta ton
is very unpleasant. The greater portion
Of the city is still without gas
1t will require some time yet Capt
Trepani says, for Charleston to repair the
effects of the storm.

How the People Are Fooled.

Caucasian, Goldsboro, N. G.
We were in Washington all last
week where we saw and heard a
great deal about the true inwardness
of the present Political situation.
We got back Sunday night. We
spent Monday looking over our ex-
changes for the past week. 1t has
been rather startling to see what
they have had to say about what has
been transporting at Washington. 1t
convinces us more and more of the
fact that the State and county edi-
tors, and through them the people
are Systematically fooled and misled
by the monopoly syndicate that
sends out the kilograms, called press
dispatches, to the papers. The true
inwardness of what is going on, and
even what is openly talked by some
congressman, is not reported, but in
stead a lot of stuff to blind the
facts. The people could not be In
industrial slavery if they were not
first put IN intelligent bondage. No
one knows this better than the money
power, and that is why they have
taken charge of the avenues of in
telligence. The people who work
have already been made SO poor in
this rich country, made so by labor,
that they cannot now protect them
selves. The National Reform Press
Association has been striving to
establish strong independent tele-
graphic news association to furnish
the people with the news and the
truth, but the editors in the associa-
ton (ike the remainder of the peo-
pie for whose common cause we are
fghting) are SO poor that they have
not yet been able to succeed. The
fight for liberty and justice was com
menced too late, but we will not give
up as long as there is hope. We
will make another effort to establish
the association.

How Wall Street Would Do.

National Waterman.
During the entire silver discussion
of this as well as other sessions there
has been universal declaration on
the part of the representatives of
Wall street in favor Of bimetallism.
But the statement was always
coupled with the further declaration
that it was necessary to demonetize
silver first before this bimetallic Pc
Rod could be reached. Just why
such seemingly contradictory meth
DDS were necessary has renamed a
profound secret until last Monday,
when Bourke Cochran, the Tammany
leader in the House, gave out the ex-
PLANTATION, which is as follows:
"Stop the purchase of silver to-
day; notify Great Britain and the
nations Of the world that If they
will agree at the conference in May
next to coin silver at fixed ratio
with gold, we will proceed to re-
arrange our coinage to meet the
agreement; that if they do not, we
will throw every ounce of our silver
on the market. Forthwith the bank
ruptcy and paralysis which would, in
my opinion, threaten the commercial
world would begin in England, and
she would be suppliant on her
knees asking US to continue the
coinage on a basis to be fixed by
agreement between the commercial
nations. This, in commercial sense,
would be a war measure, but it would
be an effective measure"
There it is in the raw. A more
vicious, absurd, or understandable
proposition never was put forward
even in the halls of Congress. In
the above paragraph lies all the
financial wisdom concerning free
coinage that Wall street can bring
forward. 1t will hardly do at the
present time.

When Measured by the POstOffice.

In 1853 this country had 22,320
postofices, 217,743 miles of post
routes, and the mail service perform
ed was 81, 892,542 miles. The annual
postal income amounted to about
$6,000,OOO and the expenditures to
$8,0O0,000, leaving deficit of over
100000. Postmaster General
Wanamaker leaves Office with 1884
postoflices and 450,491 miles of post
routes in the country performing
81, 390,847 miles of mail service an
nually. Postal revenues in 1898, are
placed at $79,OO0,O00 and expendi-
tnres at $8O,000,000, with prospects
that this insignificant deficiency will
be practically wiped out next year.
There is no better index of the growth
of country intellectually and COM
mercially than the volume of its post
office business.

an income to support the lagatee in
the style in which he has been accus-
toned to live, the courts will usually
sustain the devotion of the income
to that purpose. We contend that
Mr.. Lorillard requires $4,000 to
support himself and his family In
the style they have been accustomed
to live in"
There have been several instances
within recent years where the courts
have upheld contentious similar to
Mr.. Lorillard's. Several years ago
the creditors of Howell Osborn tried
to recover by levying upon the in
come of the 100000 left in trust
for his support by his father. Howell
was then cutting dash in Paris.
The creditors tried to prove his
extravaganza to prove that he did
not require all of his income of
$4,000 to live on, but the courts
held that $4,000 was no more than
was required to spport him in the
style which he had been accustomed
before his fathers death, and refused
to disturb the trust to pay his debts.
The Duchess of Marlborough made
a plea similar in purpose but differ
ent in form when she asked to have
her allowance from the estate left in
trust by her husband increased in
order to enable her to live in the
style to which she was accustomed.
A year ago she guardian of baby
heiress applied to the Supreme Court
of this State for an allowance of
$4,000 a year for the baby's support,
alleging that it was necessary to pro-
vide the baby with the comforts to
which her station in life entitled her.
A somewhat different case was
that of Judge Miles Beach, who was
sued for money lost in stock transac-
tions, and set up as a defense that he
had no property but his salary of
$17,500 year, all of which he re-.
CURED to live in style becoming his
official dignity. This claim was up
held.
A society man, who knows what
the cost of living is in the fashionable
world, gave the reporter this estimate
Of what Mr.. Lorilliard's expenses
ought to be:
Rent, $4,000; horses, $4,000; eat
ing, ETC., $4,000; three daughters,
$4,000.
These items alone, it will be seen,
come close to eating up all Of the
$4,000, and would leave him only
$1,000 for pocket money. clothes and
counsel fees,
