them in perfect way, making them
grow to noble manhood and woman

however, let something go wrong and

Republican Rally.

Last Saturday was republican day
in Plymouth, The great attraction up
on this notable event was the attendance
of Ex President Harrison.
Shortly before noon the band paraded
the streets, notifying the faithful that an
interesting event was about to occur.
The General spoke in the court house
yard, utilizing about an half hour, after
which he left on the special to fill other
engagements. There also were meet
ings in the afternoon and evening. 1t
is said by those who seem to know, that
it was one of the largest gatherings ever
held in Plymouth.

distinctive type of manhood and woman
hood. The woman OF this race are all
inclined to be stout. and are invariably
possessed of tuXuriant hair. of the most
glossy black. in features they strongly
resemble the Jews of Spain. and south
ern France, and their complexion is of a
rich olive tint. Travelling around. from
place to place, in their heavy covered
wagons, they earn a livelihood by the
sale of basket-ware which they manu-
facture from the ''withies'' or willows,
which grow in abundance along the
banks of all the streams of that country.
Tradition, since the mind of man run
meth not to the contrary, has vested this
strange people, with cOnsummate power
as fortune tellers, and soothsayers, and
many of them are astrologers of more
than ordinary merit and renown.
There are many different tribes of
gypsies, scattered throughout Europe,
yet all are ruled by a common king or
queen, as the case may be, and although
they abide by the laws of the country in
which they are travelling, they acknow-
ledge a higher allegiance to their own
ruler, than to any reigning monarch.

Marching thro' Georgia.

The members of Company ID, Sd reg
iment, Indiana Infantry, have organ
lied a dramatic company and will pro-
duce military patriotic melo drama,
entitled: Marching thro' Georgia, or
The Union Scout" at the Centennial
Opera House. Three performances will
be given, on Nov. 1, 2 and 3. This is>nec-
cessary owing to the limited seating ca
pacity of the house, as it is expected the
audiences which will doubtless attend
could not be accommodated in one or
two performances.
The play is one of more than average
merit, and abounds with thrilling sensa-
tions and strong dramatic situations.

A FEW POINTERS ON DUCKS.
Ward Allen Gives Marketers Tip on
What Not to Buy.

Editor Morning News: 1 have noticed
for some time specimens of wild fowl
for sale in the market, to be used for
food, which if utilized for fertilizer pur-
poses would only turn out a third
class material Any hunter or
dealer offering such game for
sale, to the unsuspecting public should
be put on the information docket, for
offering unwholesome food. To a sensitive
stomach such trash, as shell drakes,"
hairy heads" "coots," "scaup," and did
dippers," have actually produced nausea.
A person who gets a good bait Of them will
forever have his palate ruined for ducks,
and would turn up his nose even to
tempting, luscious dish of savory canvas
back. Unless a person is posted, or is
an expert in such matters, he is liable
to get stuck, for some of the most worth
less ducks are the finest looking.
The big, black 'scaup" or surf duck"
that covers all the sounds in the fall,
winter and spring, could be sold TO the
innocent buyer for the "black mallard,"
and they would never know the difference
until they took a bite. and bolted to the
kitchen and cursed out the cook for stuff
fling the ducks with salt and assafoedita,
instead of bread and onions. They would
then be out of ducks for dinner, and prob
ably out of cookk for supper. At times
there are some good ducks in the market,
but the hucksters ought not to encourage
the shooting of poor ducks by buying
them, and ruin their trade by selling them.
People can shoot buzzards, snakes,
owls, and jay-birds, and sell them if they
can and WILL but it makes me disguised
with my own business to see such stuff
offered for sale, when 1 have to hustle
over the country for a hundred miles
or more to find good ducks, when could
stop at Catalogue, Warsaw, Green island,
Ossabaw, or St. Catharine's sounds and
kill a hundred pair every day, for they
are as tame as chickens, and can be killed
from an open boat by a school boy. They
are unused to being bothered, and are
too lazy and clumsy to get out of their
own way. Besides they are half sick all
the time from the stuff they eat AS 1
have said, this does not cocern me in
any way professionally. for my ducks are
not offered for sale to the public, being
engaged by Watson & Powers. 1t is for the
benefit of the public. and from no personal
motives that write.

days. r. Ward Allen.

SHOE LEATHER GOING UP.
People win Have 20 Pay More for Their
Footwear Soon.


People who wear shoes. and most people
do. will have 10 pay from to Is cents =
pair more for them very soon if the price
OF leather keeps up. Savannah firms
wheih bought early, and all of them did
got the benefit Of the prices which have
prevailed heretofore. and these prices ara
being made 70 retailers, although there
has been stif advance by the manu-
facturers.
A leading Savannah wholesale house
called the Morning News attention yes
terday to the fact that country merchants
who are buying now are getting better
prices than they are likely to get again
very soon.
Boston is the great leather and boot
and shoe center of the country. The
Boston Herald, in a review of the mar
ket says:
The boot and shoe position is at last
coming up to the position Of the raw ma
terial. Hides have advanced from the low
est point from 30 to 40 per cent. Leather
has responded with advances in prices
from 10 to 20 per cent. All this time manu-
facturers have been selling boots and shoes
at old prices or a little less. This they
have been able to do on leather that they
had on hand, bought before the stronger
prices. But the stocks of leather in their
hands have all the time been growing less
and less, and they have held of from buy
ing till now, almost at the commencement
Of the season on spring goods, they are
obliged to buy leather.
Leather has not declined, as manu-
facturers confidently expected. On the
contrary, it has grown stronger every
day. At last manufacturers are waking
up to the necessity of getting more for
their manufactured goods. They must do
it, or make goods at a loss, as the leather
market now stands, and prospects point to
a market even much stronger. One of the
largest manufacturing houses of women's
goods in New England has just issued
circular to its trade, putting up prices 5
cents pair on shoes. The feeling is gem
eral. Other houses are asking 21-2 cents.
and cents a pair advance, according to
the style of the goods and the cost of get
ting them up. Some of the stronger
houses in the trade are very pronounced
in the determination to get more for goods.
They have advanced prices, and will take
orders only at the advance. In some cases
they are getting the advance on orders for
spring, and in other cases their customers
are besitating. In some cases manufac-
turers are fully aware of the necessity of
the advance in boots and shoes, but they
have a moderate amount of leather on
hand. and this leather they can make into
goods at old prices and make a small
profit But they believe that they should
get more for their goods, in order to take
care of the future in the leather market.
The boot and shoe position is certainly a
very important one, to say the least"

A NET WORK OF STEEL.
The United States Has More Railroads
and Telegraph Than the Rest OF the
World

World.
II the possession OF railroads and tele-
graphs is a gauge OF civilization then the
United States certainly stands far ahead
OF any other nation.
OF railroads America has 21ss7lis miles
5000 miles more than an OF the remain
ing countries OF the world combined. All
Europe has but 14i.sss miles. while Asia,
Notwithstanding its immense size. counts
only q, 2lsis miles. Africa has 7.2l2is miles
and Australia 12.6S5 miles Of iron. All
Of these facts are set out in the Annual
Railway Record. published from the Ger
man minister Of public works. and trans
mitted 10 the state department by
United States Consul Morris at Client. The
statistics are based on facts existing at
the end of 1892. and present other feat
ures Of interest than those above noted.
For instance. they show that all Of the
railways of the world aggregate 06.34S7a
miles in length; rather more than long
enough to girdle the earth sixteen times.
OF European nations Germany has the
greatest mileage (27. 45D, with France sec
ond (24,OlD and Spain least of all, with
6,I69 miles. For every 10000 inhabitants in
the United States there are 25.12 miles OF
railroad, while IN Europe the proportion
falls to Az miles per 1000 inhabitants.
With our vast expanse of country we have
ABB miles of road per 100 square miles.
while in densely settled Europe the mile
age is but 3.S29 per 100 square miles. The
worlds railways cost the enormous sum
of $685. 800 900, co., or an average of Sl2l, 260 IS
per mile. The cheapest roads are in Aus
tralia, where, in the western portion, the
price was as low as S21. 723 per mile. The
roads in the United States cost S10.333,-
1888, SSS.SSls, or an average of SIS, 29S.12 per
mile.
The exhibit in the case of telegraph lines
is scarcely less striking. The worlds mile
age of lines is 1,062,543 of which d5. 625
miles are in America, 3SO,27S in Europe.
67,4S1 in Asia, 2l,562 in Africa and 1855 in
