The courteous Difference paid to
women by all who have the slightest
claim to be considered as gentlemen is,
in the opinion of many persons, likely
to be lessened by the demands for equal
rights and responsibilities made by the
advanced and progressive section of the
sex. The story of the lady who, on
getting into full carriage, was met
by the question from the only male oc-
cupant as to whether or not she was an
advocate for the equality of the sexes,
and on replying in the affirmative was
informed she might stand during the
remainder of the journey, is scarcely an
exaggerated illustration of the feelings
of not a few men.
In some instanc es women appear to
recognize their increasing responsible
ties, and tale comes to us from New

are said to ''laugh no more" there were
no defaulters, and no lady had unfor-
tunately left her purse at home.
Seriously considered. the change in
the relative positions 81 nsen and women
must affect eventually many of the
smaller courtesies of life. The man
whose place has been taken by woman
can hardly be expected to be as lavish
of his hospitality and as careless of his

TO CATCH DRY CAROLlNIANS
Saloon Men Getting as Close as They
Can to the Border.

An Enterprising Savannahian Plants
Bar on the Bank of Book River so
the South Carolina Subjects May not
Have so Long to Wait Between
Drinks-A Question Of the City's Ju-
risdiction.
A phase of the South Carolina liquor
laws as affecting Savannah was brought
to light in a statement made to MORN
ING News reporter yesterday by a bust
ness man, that saloonkeeper who was
formerly located on River street, had re-
moved his saloon to the further side Of
Hutchinson Island, in order to secure the
Carolina liquor trade, and that other
saloon keepers are contemplating follow
ing his example.
The saloon is said to be located at the
mouth of Planters cut on the north side Of
the island in a line nearly north from the
Ocean Steam Line Companys wharves.
Beaufort county, which lies on the
other side of the river in South Carolina,
is as dry as bone, so to speak. It's
population is chiefly colored
and the natural tendency
towards Savannah is greatly increased by
the fact that this is the nearest point at
which the residents can secure their
liquid supplies. The shrewd saloon
keeper who moved his saloon as near as
possible 10 the South Carolina shore is
said to be doing thriving business.
THE oITY's INTEREST IN IT.
The question to be brought up is this Z:
HAS the city jurisdiction over Hutchin-
son island2 If so, to what extent, and
can it exact license for the sale of liquor
thereln
This is an interesting question in itself
While the city owns Hutchinson Island,
or nearly the whole of it, it is not gen
orally known that it is included in the
corporate limits of the city of Savannah
Such seems to be the case. however, from
the reading of the ordinance de-
scribing the corporate limits of
the city of Savannah, section %,
MacDonell's code. The ordinance
is little indefinite, but it was evidently
intended to include the island in the cor
limits the ordinance concludes as follows
THE LIMITS DESCRIBED.
"and thence 0rom the intersection Of the
Louisville and Augusta roads, to a point on
the river bank, ten chains west of William B.
Giles & Cos. mill, thence along the line
| prolonged to Hutchinsons Island, thence
along the shore of Hutchinson's Island to the
| eastern end of it, thence to the point of be-
| ginning"
The ordinance does not say what shore
| the line is to follow, but the northern
| shore is evidently meant. If Hutchin-
sons Island is within the city limits then
the saloonkeeper at Planters cut will
have to pay city license, which it is said
he has not done. 1t is probable that he
would have it to pay anyway, as the city's
| jurisdictional limits for the control oil
shops and bar rooms extends two miles
beyond the corporate limits and it is said
that there is no point on Hutchinson's
Island which is outside of the two mile
limit Saloonkeepers may find that
| Hutchinson's Island is not such happy
locality after all if they have all these
city taxes to pay.

A HARD THING ON GLASS.
Singular Action of Artesian Water OF
an Engines Water Gauge.

Singular Action OF ArteS1an Water on
an Engines Water Gauge.
Supt. Saussy has observed lately that
the glass cylinders on the water gauges
at the Belt Line power house wore out
with perplexing frequency, and he was
at a loss to understand how a thick glass
tube could wear out so easily.
He made a point of examining the last
one that gave out and found to his sur
prise that it had been corroded and eaten
through by the action of the chemicals
contained, he says, in the artesian water
that is used in the boilers. The
lower end of the tube was worn thin, and
its interior corrugated by the action of
the minerals contained in the water.
The artesian well at the power house is
$50 feet deep The water has slight
taste of sulphur, but upon being passed
through the boilers develops large per-
centage of lime. So large is the amount
of lime developed that it has been found
necessary to use patent cleaners or skim
mers to protect the boilers by Swimming
out the lime The amount of lime re-
moved in this way is several pounds daily,
and Supt. Saussy has several barrels on
hand which accumulated in the
pipes before the swimmers were put
in use. He would like TO know if the
same amount of mineral matter has de-
velOped at the city's wells at the new
water works and if so, is it of an injuri-
Gus character.
The engineer at the Belt Line power
house informed Supt. Saussy
that it was common thing for artesian
water to destroy the glass tubes of the
water gauges.

Supt Kline Says He Will Make Reduc-
tions Wherever It Is Possible.
General Superintendent Kline of the
Central Railroad returned yesterday
morning after an absence of several days,
mostly spent on the Chattanooga division
MIR Kline spent yesterday in conference
with Receiver Conner and other officials of
the Central.
Ex-Superintendent Wadley, who is in
the city, called upon Mr.. Kline yesterday
morning and accompanied him on visit
of inspection of the new palace car, No.
S02, for the Nancy Hanks train, which
was built here under Mr. Wadleys direc-
ton. The best of feeling exists between
Supt. Kline and Mr.. Wadley. They are
upon the most friendly terms and have
the highest respect for each other. 1t is
said that Mr.. Wadley was much pleased
at the appointment of Mr.. Kline as his
successor.
Mr.. Kline said to a MORNING News re-
porter that all rumors of removals con-
templated by him are unfounded, and that
he has not considered any changes as yet.
All reports to the contrary, he said, are
mere gossip and unworthy of credence
Mr.. Kline said it is true that he will en-
deavor to reduce expenses in every way
possible on the system, and wherever it is
possible to make a cut without iniuring
the service it will be made. He would
not say whether any more men will be
discharged at the Savannah shops, but it
is inferred that he does not intend to
make any reductions in the shop forces
at present on account of the
large amount of work on
hand, which must be done for use in the
fall traffic.
Supt. Kline said as most of his travel
ing over the system was at night he was
not able to express an opinion of its
physical condition generally, but what he
had seen, he said, was very fair.

1t seems that Mrs. Tuch, who lives on
Montgomery street, and Mrs. Tuten, who
lives around the corner on Charlton
street, had a quarrel yesterday mornin g
about some children. Mrs. Tuten then
attacked Mrs Tuch, and according to her
version knocked her down and beat her
with an umbrella.
After listening to the statement of the
case, Justice Russell decided that it was
nothing more than a simple assault and
battery, and he issued a warrant to that
effect. An officer was sent out to arrest
the Tuten woman.

The Farmers Have Made Their Crop
at Very Little Cost.


The farmers of rwiregrass Georgia, or
the extreme southwestern portion of the
state, have made their,crop thisuyear at
very little cost, and the consequence is
they are less in debt and owe less now
than they have on any crop made in the
last five years.
This information comes from men who
travel IN that section of Georgia, and
who come in daily contact with the farm
ing classes in that section of the state.
The fact that the farmers have bought
very little on their crop prospects, has
kept the country merchants largely out
of debt, as they have sold very little I'M
der the circumstances. The consequence
is that the whole Of wiregrass Georgia is
in very solid condition, and very little
money is owed by either the farmers or the
merchants in that section.
The same is true of the section of
Alabama just adjacent to southwestern
Georgia At Dorthan, Alabama, for in
stance where from IA 900 to 10000 bales of
cotton are handled each year, the farm
ers have not bought bushel of western
corn this year, no western grass and very
little meat The people in that section
are looking to Savannah to furnish
money to move their cotton crop and they
say that Savannah has more capital than
any other city in the south.
1t is said that no crop was ever made in
that section with less credit than has
this one. Instead of buying large quanti-
ties of western corn, grass and meat, the
farmers here have raised this produce
largely for themselves, a fact which will
inure largely to the benefit of the section.
The crop is in a fine condition. is opening
freely, and will be no later than usual.

Carlisle and corn crops-the three C's-
will bring the south out all right, and
will redeem the country. They ere not
