The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-09-25

The city ordinance which prohibits
hucksters and hawkers from crying their
wares before 10 o'clock in the morning
should be repealed. There is no reason
why these industrious people should not
have every advantage in selling before
that hour, as well as after it, what they
have to offer.
As matter of fact they should be en-
Outraged in every possible way Those
who are engaged in it sell vegetables, fish,
shrimp and oysters They should be in
duced to come into the city, and the way
to earn an honest living made as easy as
possible for them.
The people of the city are benefited by
their coming. 1t is an advantage to house
keepers to have such articles as the
hawkers have brought to their doors and
offered for sale at reasonable rates.
Ninety-nine people out ofevery hundred
who work for living are out of bed by 6

the hawkers to keep quiet because the
few who remain in bed after that hour
are likely to have their sleep broken.

amounts to nothing in comparison with
that of the street cars and the various
other vehicles that are running at an early
hour. No one proposes to stop the cars
or the bread and milk wagons from run
ming before 10 a. m. or any other hour.
An attempt to stop them would not be
tolerated.
1t is proposed to establish a freight bu-
reau to assist Savannah's business.
Would it not be advisable to abolish the
ordinances that tend to restrain local
traffic of the minor kind and discour-
age poor people who are striving to earn
an honest living
The late sleepers should be willing to
endure little annoyance If the busy
life of the streets disturbs them let them
move to back rooms and thus avoid the
noise. Let the motto be. make all the
noise you choose if it is for business pur-
poses. Blow your whistle and halloo all
you want to-"

The race was so close that the populists
thought they certainly had won, but the
returns showed otherwise. Immediately
