Look to Yourself and not to Congress for
Relief, wa .'.t1

Is h. ia
In several Of our exchanges we have
seen in big letters the people expect
relief from this extra session Of Con-
gress. The relief Except to relieve, to
some extent, tile financial pressure all
through the country, that the average
citizen will receive he can no more To-
cate than he could distinguish tho pint
Of water that he pours into the sea,
and tH man who is waiting for this
Cong ess to retrieve his fortunes or
add qhe dollar to his bank account, or
one Dine to his daily expenses will be
badly disappointed, unless the gov
ernment owes him something and
,paYsit. The only citizens who would
be lirectly benefited by this extra ses-
sion will be those elected to paying
poait pns, founded upon their servicec.
Looleto yourself, and not the govern.
ment for no matter how plentiful
money becomes, unless you sell some-
thing you have on hand, or do some
worby order Of the government for
whi you will be paid, not one cent
w1rNR receive. Don't be fattered
with's he belief that we are to have
gol III and silver showers rained down
on II you are farmer, put your
tr4 in your soil, your muscular ener-
gyin utilizing It, and trust in God for
the balance; then you have done all
that you can for yourself. ~
From the many and wide differences
Of opinions on the great vital questions
before Congress, It looks as II we will
have war Of wrcngling on the rela-
tive value lof silver and gold, that
may extend almost to the winter.
While we believe that there are many
pure, patriotic representative, IN both
branches Of Congress, judging by In
temperate speeches and uncalled for
declarations, there are quite u number
Of harmonizing statesmen who feel
more interest in their personal ag-
grandizement and individual interests
than they feel In behalf Of the dear
people. II this be true, as we have
seen stated in Washington papers,
that no small share Of our Congress-
men are at the watering places and
sea sides enjoying good living and at
tractive scenes, rather than be in their
places in the halls Of the Capitol, wait
ing there until the majority have spo-
ken their little speeches, so that they
can return in time to put in their little
buncombe, there is no telling what
they will do or when they will adjourn.
Look to yourselves, farmers, for all the
relief in store for you, just as though
no congress existed, and you will stand
on the right platform. ....
Seeing that q good many
of you have removed your gran
aries and smoke houses from st. Louis
and Chicago, we put more faith in that
than anything that Congress may do

CAN WE STAND ITs

Editors Sentinel:-With no Ill feeling,
but impressed only by the emptiness Of
purse and the wants Of my little ones,
a. q tax payer, I ask, Is not our county
Board Of Supervisors getting to be
quite an expensive body? Taking
the last as an average term Of their
court, their salaries would alone
amount to nearly one thousand dollars.
Count up the amount they have drawn
for inspecting the public roads, then
count the benefit it has been to the
county, and I fancy some Of them
would almost be tempted to return
this money they have drawn. said
almost. The law requiring road over
reers to keep up their roads was good
enough already without this useless
expense, and was about as much en-
forced as now, and the roads about as
good. Then see how much they have
drawn for letting and receiving bridges
and / venture the assertion it would
pay for q food and storm policy on
every bridge in the County, excepting
the two iron bridges. Can't the ex-
pense be reduced? The doctor died
and the patient got we'll. Can't our
Board meet every three months and
attend to all Of the county's business9
What sense is there in the whole body
meeting to allow every month the
claims they are allowed by law2 II
they pay no other, why could not the
president require every man who had
a claim against the county to have the
law attached to his claim. Then why
could not he and the clerk endorse it,
and take them to be endorsed by the
whole body every three monthsi
With the average claim there IL
enough margin for the claimant to
wait this long and not be much hurt.
Such things as the salary Of County
Superintendent, board of paupers and
contracts, the county is due monthly,
and are all fixed, and could be endorsed
monthly by the President and Clerk,
and let the rest stay at home. This
may not be q good law, but would be
filled with gratitude and hailed with
delight. We should reduce to min
imum every expense. In the last
meeting Of our Board, rearly every
thing allowed and done could have
been about as we'll done as above stated
had all remained at home, excepting
the action taken to discontinue the free
ferry at Sherman's old crossing. For
this they deserve our hearty, thanks.
1t would have been !, better for the
county had it never been. opened, and
they who did it deserve no monument

thing except what Is allowed by law,
but how long can we hold up Under
such laws? ''Pro bono publico' should
be our motto. Can our Board attend to
the County's business, and only meet
once every three months? II 80, let
them make the resolve. Cut down
their expenses by three.fourths, (4) or,

THE COAST LINE CUT oFF.
Charleston Left Out When the Man
chester and Augusta is Extended.


chester and Augusta is Extended.
The proposed extension from Rimim to
Denmark of the Manchester and Augusta
railroad, now controlled by the Atlantic
Coast Line, which runs from Florence, S.
c., TO Rimini, is exciting no little CON-
ment
The fact that bids for the work on this
extension have been advertised for leaves
little doubt that it will be effected, and
with the probable results limited at in the
MORNING News some days ago.
The intention is to make this connec-
ton with the South Bound, which is
leased by the Florida Central and PENN
sular, and thus get a through Florida
connection from the north considerably
shorter than the present route over the
Plant system
The Charleston people seem to realize
that this arrangement is certainly des-
tined to affect their interests If, as
rumor has it, the contract between the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Plant system
is unsatisfactory to the former, it
is probable that they have taken this
step to protect their interests in
the through traffic business. The result
of such a connection, however, is plainly
seen. The through traffic WOULD go by
the nearest route; the Charleston and
savannah, now COnJrOleQ DN Mr., Bldnu
would become mere local line and
Charleston would suffer accordingly
The plan seems to be to form this COM
bination against the Plant line.
The Charleston people take somewhat
different view of it, however, thinking it
possible that the completion of the Man
chester and Augusta means nothing more
than was contemplated when the present
portion of the road was built, and that is
it was built as competitor of the Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta, which is
controlled by the Richmond and Danville.
The facts, however, point plainly to
the other theory. There is little doubt
that the Coast Line will use this new
connection for its winter travel. The
route will be shorter, and from all that
can be gathered the connecting roads are
going to put on an exceptionally fine
service into Florida The building Just
just at this time, too when the Florida
Central and Peninsular is nearing its
completion, would seem to indicate that
such project was on foot. There are
other facts which may come out later
which will, in all probability, substanti-
ate what now seems supposition.

WON BY FOURTEEN RUNS.
The HuSSaTS No Match for the
Guards Men.

Ganahps Team Wins Again by Score
of 81 to 7-Stults and Hartridge
Play Like Professionally" Petty :"
Vests Unique Playing With His
Knees-A Game Without a Kick On
the Umpire.
The Guards defeated the Hussars on
the base ball diamond a sec
ond time yesterday by a score
of p to Z. The troopers team
played better game than it did two
weeks ago, but still it is no match for the
battalion boys, who display more spirit
and vim about their work, both with the
stick and in the field.
With the exception of the third inning,
when the Guards piled up ten runs, the
game was good amateur exhibition, and
the $50 people who witnessed it were well
pleased, and bestowed liberal applause
on the boys. Quantock, the Hussars'
third baseman, lost his head in this in
ming and by his loose field
ing and wild throwing to
first allowed several men to score.
Afterward he retrieved himself by some
brilliant stops of hot grounders, but it
was too late to do any good.
GOOD BATTERY WORK.
The work of both pitchers, Lamar for
the Guards and w. w. Gordon, Jr., for
the HusSars, was the most worthy
feature of the game. Both pitched equal
to many professionals, and Lamar was
better than some seen on Savannah's
diamond this season. He yielded only
three hits, and Gordon eight. Drane
supported Lamar eKcellently, but G. A.
Gordon, the Hussars' backstOp, was a
little off He allowed six balls to pass,
and in each instance they were costly.
Stults at third and Hartridge at first
for the Guards again played phenomenal
ball, each accepting every chance with
out making an error. Stults is, without
doubt, the best all-around amateur ball
player in Savannah, and his work richly
deserves the applause accorded him. He
covers the third bag like McGarr, hits
like Burns and runs bases with that dar
ing which has made Cross such q popular
favorite with Savannahians. If Stults
felt like playing professional ball he
would be a valuable man to any team.
PLAYED WITH HIS KNEES.
sPetty'' West, who covered the second
bag for the Hussars, distinguished him
self by trying to stop nearly every ball
that came his way with his knees instead
of with his hands. A little more practice
would make West professional knee
player"
Whitehead was good at first, and Rich
mond covered himself with glory at short.
He caught one ball hot off Haines' bat,
which surprised himself more than any
body else, and while he halted the others
dropped in his territory it was only after
ground-juggling act which invariably
insured the batter first base.
A remarkable feature of the game was
the absence of two and three baggers.
Every hit on both sides was single, but
in more than one instance fumbles and
wild throws netted the runner three
bases. One time on errors of this charac-
ter Haincs made home run on single.
Umpire Curtis gave satisfaction to both
clubs, and not kick was made against
his decisions.
Tho nfficial SCORE is as follows:

FELL FROM THE BRIDGE.
Guard Charles Hancock Fatally In
juTed in the Market.

After Signaling a Car Through the
West Entrance He Missed His Foot
ing and Fell to the Basement-The
Interior of His Skull Crushed and
His Injuries Pronounced Fatal.
The first fatal accident of the market
bridge occurred last night. Charles Han
cock. the guard, fell over the unprotected
western end Of the bridge to the base
ment and sustained a fracture of the
skull
Just how the accident occurred win
probably never be known. Hancock
passed a car over the bridge going west
few minutes before he fell, and the
theory is that in returning to his
post in the center of the bridge
F. he missed his footing and pitched head
long to the brick foored basement.
The distance was not over twelve feet,
but in the descent Hancock must have
struck one of the iron girders and turned,
as he fell on his back, and the back of his
head striking with terrific force on
the hard pavement A negro
who was about to go down the steps OF
the western entrance saw Hancock lying
in front of .Jemdal's restaurant probably
a minute after he dropped.
Policeman Godbold was patrOlling Con-
gress street and hurried over to the mar
ket The officer was the first to reach
Hancock He found him lying apparently
dead, with blood running from his nose,
mouth and ears, but an examination
showed that the heart was still beating.
He lifted the injured man into a chair.
DR. Dunn was telephoned for and on an
examination pronounced the injuries
fatal. While the exterior of the skull
was not broken, the force of the shock
had fractured the softer portion
toward the front of the head.
The police ambulance was then
summoned, and the unfortunate man
was taken to his home at Hall and Mont
gomery streets DR.. Dunn accompanied
the ambulance and did everything posi-
BILE for Hancock. He did not recover
consciousness, however, and the
doctor said it was only a
question of few hours when death
would relieve his sutferings
Mr.. Hancock is about 40 years old and
has a wife and family He was well
liked by everybody who knew him and
was polite and attentive to his duties
Several years ago he lost the fingers of
one of his hands in an accident and since
that time had been disabled from per-
forming other than light labor.
