while the revenue collected in 1893 under
the Mckinley tax exceeded this average
by IS, 600, 900 and but for the five or six
million pounds in the bonded warehouses
held in hope of a reduction in the tariff
duty, this increase would be $15,000,000.
These figures show very plainly that in
stead of the imports decreasing under the
Mckinley tariff rate they have increased
ana therefore we say it IS a revenue and
not a protective duty. The government
needs all the revenue that lit can raise
just now, and as tobacco is
considered by all countries proper SUBJ
iect from which to derive the largest pos
sible amount of revenue, we argue that
1t is to the governments interest to main
tain the duty. 1t is true that some re-
duction might be made in the duty which
would benefit the manufacturers without
injuring the growers. Such a reduction
as thai sought by the manufacturers
would be death 10 the growers.
FOURTEEN wRAPPER-GRowING STATES.
"There are fourteen states which grow
cigar wrapper tobaCcos, and we think that
we have some right to demand the atten-
ton of congress as well as the importers
and manufacturers.
Mr.. Noodle leaves for Washington this
morning.
On the other side of the case the
Tampa Times has the following to
say:
Now if it were possible for Florida to-
bacco-gTowers to raise a quality of to-
bacco that would answer for the warp
pers for the finest grades of cigars, there
would not be so much injustice in this
heavy tariff on the wrapping leaf, and an
infant industry would be benefited but
this isnot the case.
While Florida tobacco growers are
steadily increasing the production and
are improving the quality of ther to-
baccO, The Cuban wrapper thus far seems
to be Indispensable Taxing an article
that cannot be produced here and an arti-
Gle that is actually indispensable in the
business Of the Tampa cigar factories Is
a species of injustice that should have
prompt legislative relief, as that seems
to be the only method by which the un-
just law can be remedied. .
THE Times would indorse and support
any measure that would add to the pros
perity of the Florida tobacco-grower, and
if the manufacturers could get at
home leaf tobacco that would take
the place of the Havana wrapper, they
would be the best patrons of the local
tobacco grower. The Sumatra and
Havana leaf cannot be grown here, and
until the manufacturers can find sub
stitute they will insist upon such modi-
fcatiOn of the unjust law as will afford
them reliefn

Opening Performance.
The audience which witnessed Ala

tober was that of 1881, with an average

a ROAD ACROSS THE ISLAND.
An Improvement That Would Give
Greater Trade to Savannah.

A large area of country tributary to
Savannah is gradually being aliena6ed by
reason of the harbor Improvements. The
extension of the Fig Island jetty has made
Screven's ferry almost useless, thereby
cutting off the trade of the people who
live along the Back river and the ada
cent country.
A remedy for this loss might be found
in building good road across Hutchin-
sons Island from the front river to Back
river. Such a road could be connected on
both rivers by fiat ferries, until in that
future that is sure to come to Savannah
when a bridge will span the river
a road across the island and ferries
crossing the river would bring to this
market large and paying trade. Such
road could also be made part of a sys-
tenn of bikes that would protect the
island from overflOws.
The city and county authorities can do
no better work toward encouraging the
growth of the city than in keeping open
present avenues of traffic and opening
others that may induce settlers ana bus
mess. Good roads and prompt means OF
communication make towns grow, as it is
from these people near TO them that the
best paying business is derived The
HutchinsOn's Island road is within the
possibilities of even such times as these.
and it is worthy of the consideration of
these who take an interest in such mat
tiers

A WILDCAT ENGINE.
Tt Crashed Into and Smashed Up a
Freight on the s., F. & w. Road.

It Crashed Into and Smashed Up a
Freight on the s., F. & W. Road.
A wildcat engine belonging to the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia road
ran into freight train on the Savannah,
Florida and Western road at Jesup yes
terday morning, which resulted in a
pretty bad smash-up to the engine of the
latter train.
At Jesup the tracks of these two roads
are joined by various switches, and alto
gether they form a pretty complicated
system 1T that point. Yesterday morn
ing about o'clock a switch engine be-
longing to the East Tennessee road was
standing in the yards there and prepare
tory to going to work, the engineer had
fired it up. The engine was reversed and
the throttle was partly open, in which
condition the engineer had carelessly gone
on ard left it standing.
As the boiler became heated the steam
began to rise, and it was not long before
the pressure was sufficient to start the
engine. Then it began its wild run and
the switch having been left open for some
purpose the engine got on the Savannah,
Florida and Western and ran down
the track backwards, gradually in
creasing its speed as the draught increas-
ed the heat. A mile or two out from
Jesup it was sighted by the engineer of
the Savannah, Florida and Western fast
freight No. POS, which was just coming up,
but it was too late for him to
reverse ana get out of the way in time
The tender of the wildcat engine crashed
into the pilot OF the northbound freight
and Doth engines were pretty badly
smashed up in the encounter Fortunately
no one was hurt by the accident, but
it was perhaps well that the runaway
occurred when it did tor if the engine
had gone on down the track it might
serious results.

THE CAMPS WELL KEPT.
Only One Death Among the Convicts
in the Last Eight Months.

There can be no complaint about the
manner in which Chatham county's con-
Wet camps are kept, judging from the
records of the past eight months, which
show only ode death among the prisoners
during that entire time. The one death
which has occurred during the past eight
months was that Of Albert Thompson, the
negro who died of sunstroke while
working on the new Casey canal. This
goes to show that the camps have been
well kept during the summer, and in
spite of the fact that they are considered
in such bad condition, especially Camp
No. l, their sanitary state has been as
perfect as it has been possible to make il.
Mai. Blandford has been untiring in his
efforts to preserve sanitary conditions
about the camps, and the record shows
with what success he has met.

TRUE HOSPITALITY.

She was young girl from the coun
try, and did not underS and city ways;
so, when invited to u reception, she
went at an unfashionably early hour.
Entering the dressing-room, she was
dismayed to see not n cloak, not Il
wrap of any sort, only well-trained
person who took off our country girls
wrappings and then disappeared.
"Oh, | dare not go down." the poor
little thing said pitifully II can't;
| am the very, very first" But in
stantly appeared radiant white Wis
ion-the daughter of the house
Christine said you had come" >he
cried, fluttering in, as if it were the
pleasantest and most charming sur
prise in the world. Il am SO glad.
Mamma and were wishing we had
some one to help us receive. And you
did not see papa the other day. You
must come right down and see him,
and be one of us. Tears were i'm the
country girls eyes when she told me
this little story Don't you think it
was the very loveliest thing?" she
said. There | was, an hour before
every one else; and they made it seem
ms if l was their special friend and
belonged to them; and everybody was
introduced to me; and it was so love
ly" Does it seem u little thing be-
iieve that many shining deeds record
ed in the biographies of good women
have had less real sweetness in them
than this fashionable beauty showed
to the girl whose evening she turned
from II modification into a triumph.
