bringing some of the best detectives in the
country to the scene It is with this idea in

have taken a step which those in some Of
the other counties in this section will do
well to follow.
They have organized democratic club.
This club was organized some days be-
fore the election through the efforts of
Sam Monroe, who has been a democrat
since the days of emancipation. 1t was
started with a membership of thirty-five,
with Sam Brown as chairman and Dan
Bacon as secretary. Its membership
grew day by day until there were more
than twice as many members on the day
of the election, and since then it has add
ed several to its list.
The club is known as the Traders
Hill Democratic Club. its headquarters
being located just below Dorchester.
Through its efforts in the neighborhood
of 100 votes were polled for Col. Lester
last Tuesday. A good feature of the

of Savannah's Orphanages.
Savannahians are to be treated to an
other chrysanthemum show, and one
surpass anything of its kind that has yet
been seen here.
For months Mr. August c. Oelschig, the
florist has been nursing his chrysanthe
mum plants, until they are now in full
flower. There are hundreds of them,
many being new and rare varieties. He
has cared for them and grown them scien-
tihcally, and is in a position to make
handsome display. This is the chrysan-
themum season, the time when the vari-
Gus colored flowers look their best, and If
there is one thing that many Savannah
ians enjoy it is a handsome chrysanthe-
mum exhibit. This has been proven by
past experience with such shows.
The show will be given at the Guards
Arsenal Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day Of next week, Nov. 49, IA and Is. Tues
days exhibition will not begin until night,
from to II o'clock, while on Wednesday
and Thursday the display will be open

of the managing boards Of the three or
phan asylums of the city, the Episcopal
Orphans Home, the Savannah Female
Orphan Asylum and the St. Mary's Or
phanage, and will be given for their bene-
fit. The ladies will serve refreshments
during each evening. Admission will be
10 cents for children and % cents for
adults. Tickets will be sold only by the
ladies' and at the door.
Some of the ladies Of the managing
boards have been busy this week securing
contributions for their refres hment table,
but it will not be possible for them to see
every one who may desire to contribute.
If any one will send in such contributions
the ladies will accept them with thanks.
A feature of the show will be the COM
! petition among some of the school chill
dren for prizes offered for the best grown
! plants. Last year Mr.. Oelschig gave away
| to school children 500 plants with the
| object of offering prizes for those that
/ were grown best. He desires that those
! children who have raised their plants
| to bring them to the armory, where they
| will be on exhibition, and the owners OF
| the five or six best specimens will each
! receive a prize on the last night of the
! show

A Decided Improvement in the Trade
in High Grade Cigars.


in High Grade Cigars.
Savannah is rapidly becoming the whole
sale tobacco center of the south and the
local retail trade is keeping up the pace.
The demand for high-grade cigars has
increased so perceptibly within the last
few months that it has been found neces-
sary to open depot for the sale of this
class of goods at 122 Bryan street, con-
venient and easily accessible to the bust
ness men of the city. Mr.. E. a. Usina,
the proprietor, has fitted up a first-Class
establishment, and the business men in
whose center he is located appreciate his
efforts to give them the best the market
affords. Box trade is Mr.. Usinas spe-
cialty, and the advantage of buying CT
gars at jobbers prices will undoubtedly
attract large and desirable trade. Mr..
Usina is the local jobber for the cele-
brated Ell Modelo cigars.-ad.

Taxation and Science.

This is an age of science. We credit
the inventions and discoveries Of the
century to the scientific spirit in which
great questions are studied. Among
the great majority of mankind the
opinion of the trained specialist is re-
ceived as authority on his particular
subject Yet when it comes to the
question of taxation. surely as difficult
and intricate as any of the sciences, it
is generally believed that the crude
schemes and systems adopted hundreds
OF years ago, are now urged by men who
have devoted no time to the study of
the subject are the perfection of wis
dom.
A little more thought would prevent
a great deal of nonsense being thrust
upon the public as "the science of tax
alton" What kind of science Is that
which advocates fning the men who
improve their real estate? Which puts
a premium on idleness? Which dis.
courages thrift and industry? Which
holds wealth C'good things") to be an
evil? Which encourages men to keep
valuable land vacant and unused?
Which taxes capital invested in farm
ing or manufacturing industries?
Would not the real science of taxa.
ton be the exact opposite of such sys.
tens?
