The Ogeechee Road Improvement.

The Ogeechee Road Improvement.
The preparation for hardening the Ogee-
chez road from the city limits south
ward has begun The engineer has all
the bench marks" put down from where
the city shell road terminates to the rail-
road crossing. The Savannah. Florida and
Western railway is putting on a siding
for the cars in which the ebert or what
ever hardening material it may be decided
to use is TO be brought.
1t seems that it would be economy to
lay a temporary track along the road and
dump the hardening material where it is
to be used instead Of dumping it a long
distance away and hauling it in carts to
where it is 10 be used.
Apparently considerable draining and
grading will have to be done before the
hardening material can be placed on the
road From the condition Of the road at and
near the bridge across the Minis swamp
canal It appears that during the recent
transforms the canal overlooked its banks
for distance Of a hundred feet OF more
on either side. and the water ran over the
roadway, though at that point it is from
four to five feet above the adjacent lands.
The whole drainage of the water shed
southwest of the city is through the Minis
swamp canal, and it appears, from the
indications noted above, that it has not
sufficient capacity to carry off a fraction
OF the water that is emptied into it,
In rebuilding the Ogeechee road the
proper drainage of the lands adjacent to
it is as important as hardening the road
bed. In fact it appears that a perma-
nent roadway cannot be built without
proper provision is made for getting rid
of the water which falls in the rainy sea-
son and which, in seeking its level, washes
the road into holes
1t has been suggested that it would be
well to use the Ogeechee road to test the
several kinds of material proposed for
hardening roads. by building part with
ebert. part with broken stone. and still
another part with some one Of the other
materials suggested.

Among the pleasant memories awaken
ed by the approaching camp meeting at
Desplaines are some that border on the
ludicrous and are in their way amusing
says the Chicago Tribune. Among others
VINO nave begun their hfe's work at this
place rs the Rev. DR.. Eddy, who preached
FORMED by the trees in the woods sur
rounding camp grounds. Here also he
made his first convert while preaching,
as ne supposed, to the fitting birds and
was this.
The Rev. DR.. Eddy was at that time
theological student at the Northwestern
university Accompanied by some Of his
classmates. he went TO the camp meet
ing where he was down on the pre-
gramme TO preach his first sermon. Here
they round young man named Fred
HOughton, who was much under convic-
ton because of his sins. Soon all the
theological students had surrounded the
penitent and were exhOrting him 10 &C
cept Christ as his Saviour. Every infiu-
ence known to the future divines was
brought to bear on HoughtOn until II be-
came evident that II was becoming some
what wearisome- to him, and he went to
the woods. Along toward evening, like
ZaceheuS OF ola, who climbed up into
sycamore tree, he assembled into base
wood tree. whose limbs nearly touched
tations.
DR.. Eddy was to preach that night, and
felt nervous and apprehensive. As the
shades Of night We're approaching he also
hied himself stO the woods and released
his sermon beneath the tree in which
HOughtOn was enscOnced. Thinking him
self alone, and that none but the eye Of
God was upon him. he warmed up and in
eloquent tones exhOrted his imaginary
hearers to accept the faith. When he had
finished great was his surprise when
HoughtOn descended from the tree and
said he was willing to come to Christ, and
declared that Or. Eddy's sermon had
saved him. In after years DR.. Eddy de-
clared that had Houghton shouted while
he was in the midst of his funeral sermon
over HOughton's remains he would not
have been more surprised than he was
when HOughton came downsthe tree.

We see that the governor of Georgia

and to convince himself that they are
unobjectionable on moral or humanitarian

not be lynched or unkindly molested, and
offers him the graceful hospitality for

The Georgia pend.


The wind is hushed in the tree tops,
The clouds lower pile upon pile,
And out of a Georgia valley,
A shadOwy army file.
Their banners are tom and bloody,
And they come with noiseless tread
And the life blood is clotted and CHASTITY
On this army, of Georgia dead.
From graves midst the hills of Virginia,
From the shores of your River of
Death"
They come this grim army of martyrs
Drawn here by a whispering breath.
Forgotten! forgotten forever
He dead In your prime and your youth,
Come up from Your graves midst the
Come back to the land of your birth.
Stand forth in your deathless glory,
Bare now your CHASTITY side.
God how the bullets tore II,
And the red blood spouted wide.
And woman's wall went upward.
To the ear of a Vengeful God,
And the Orphans tears were flowing,
As his life-bloOd stained the sod.
Awake We women Of Georgia.
Ye have slumbered and slept too long.
Your dead are being dehonOred,
Come forth and right the wrong.

Tell the strangers thus did we
DO honor to Sherman's band?
To the shot, the she'll and the slaughter,
To the shrek of frenzied girl,
To the british laugh of her captor,
And the blue flames upward curl.
Never! a shout goes upward,
From valley and hill and plain,
While life and voice are left us,
Well honor our Georgia slain.

Generally speaking, when a newspaper
favors the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, it may be set down as an opponent
of President Cleveland; and when the
paper processes TO be democratic in poll
tics it will usually be found denounciag
the President in violent and unreasonable
language. An honorable exception TO this
general rule, however. is noted in the case
of the Hamilton (Ga.) Journal. The Jour-
nal is a free coinage advocate, but is
strongly opposed to democratic attacks
upon the administration and abuse of Mr.
Cleveland.

what Is GnmbIing in ChIcngof

Two decisions recently rendered in Chi
cago by Judge Tuley show that in that city
specializing in stocks on margins is not
gambling. while specializing in wheat on
margins is gambling.
The facts in the two cases are as fol-
lowst A man deposited a sum of money
with his brokers and ordered them to buy
certain stocks for his account. The money
deposited was to be used to save the brok-
ers from any loss that might result from
the transaction. The speculation turned
out disastrously. and the man lost his
money. He then sued his brokers for the
money he had deposited with them. The
court held that as there had been an ac-
tuai purchase Of stocks. the transaction
was legitimate one. and that therefore
THE man could not recover. ts'
The other case was that of man who
deposited securities with his brokers as
a margin for wheat purchases and ordered
them to buy certain number of bushels
Of wheat for his account. What he
wished to do was to speculate in wheat
The change in the wheat market was not
soon all used up in losses. He brought
suit against the brokers for the recovery
of his securities on the ground that they
had been used in a gambling transaction,
and the judge rendered a decision in his
favor ON the ground that no wheat was
purchased and none was intended to be
purchased. The transaction, the judge
held. was a gambling one pure and sim
pie. the gambling consisting in betting
on the price of wheat.
1t is not an easy matter to see differ
ence in the two transactions. In the
first one the man who put up a margin
simply bet that the price of certain stocks
would go up or down, as the case might
be. 1t is true, of course, that the stocks
were purchased by the brokers and
held for their customer, but the stocks
were never transferred TO the purchaser.
In the second case the purchaser got no
wheat and did not expect to get any
There was no transfer in his name of any
wheat or wheat certificates. Therefore,
the transaction was adjudged to be a
gambling one, and the brokers had to
return to the speculator his securities.
In one case there was an actual purchase
of property, while in the other there was
not, but from a moral standpoint the two
transactions were so nearly alike that to
the ordinary mind if one was gambling
the other was also.

the destruction of the orange trees last

The Cuban insurgents up to this time
have been waging a guerilla warfare
against the Spanish troops. If the report
is true that an attack upon the city of
Havana is to be made shortly, 1t means
probably. that the insurgents have reach
ed the conclusion that it is time to strike
heavily and at the center Of power of
the enemy. Should the insurgents capture
Havana and hold it for twenty-four hours
or longer the probabilities are that they
would be recognized as belligerents by
governments to the south OF us and maybe
by this government also.

Death of Justice Jackson.

In the death of Associate Justice Howell
E. Jackson the country has lost a good
citizen and an able an upright judge. All
who know Mr. Justice Jackson respected
and admired him. He was a very ap-
proachable man, and it gave him genuine
pleasure to do a favor for any one who So
licited his assistance.
In all the positions to which he was
called he acquitted himself with credit
His fellow citizens had the utmost con-
fidence in him. Although his course in
the Senate may not have been approved
at all times by his constituents and al
though his decisions as Judge may not
have always given satisfaction no one
ever thought of questioning his motives.
He was pure man. His purpose was
always to do what was right
1t cannot be said that he was a great
judge or a great man. but he had ability
of a high order. and judgement so good
that the conclusions he reached in politi-
cal and legal matters were generally corI
rect. He seldom addressed the Senate
when a member of that body, but so great
was the regard entertained for his integ-
rity and judgment that his opinion was
frequently sought on public questions by
party leaders. In a quiet way he ex-
erted a great deal more influence than
some of those who managed to keep them
selves more prominently before the coun-
try.
He had not much of chance to show
his capacity as a justice of the supreme
court. His health began to fail soon after
his appointment to the supreme bench
and for fully year before his death he
was not able to give much attention to his
judicial duties. His last appearance on
the bench was when the income tax was
heard the second time. He ought not TO
have subjected himself to the strain of
sitting in that case but there was so much
depending on the early determination of
the case that he felt he ought to take
some risk in order to have prompt de-
csion of it.
Even the greatest public men are soon
forgotten nowadays, but because of his
kindly nature Justice Jackson's memory
will be long treasured by those who had
personal acquaintance with him.

How rapidly the chew" navy grows
old The cruiser Atlanta was one of the
John Roach ships constructed in 1888 at a
cost of something like 100000, exclusive
of her armament, and she was regarded at
the time she was put into commission as
one of the crack ships of the unarmored
cruiser class. Now she has become such
a ack'number,, with her single screw and
twelve knot speed. that the next congress
may be asked for an appropriation
amounting to more than one-third of her
original cost for the purpose of bringing
her as nearly up to date as 1t may be
possible to do. The idea is to make her
a twin screw ship, put additional boilers
into her and try to raise her speed to
sixteen knots an hour. Under present cir
cumstances, the Atlanta is fit to be only
kind of nautical park policeman, TO chase
tramps and to make a show of herself on
holiday occasions. Whether the contem-
plated changes are made in the ship or
not, by the way, she win never be as
fast as the town she is named for.

Superintendent of the Census Carroll D.
Wright says, in substance. that 5000, 900
and years time were wasted in the TAX
ing and compiling of the Eleventh census,
now about completed. Civil Service Com
missioner Roosevelt wished the census
bureau to be placed under the civil SER
vice rules, but that kind of thing did not
suit the republican administration, then
in power. The places in the bureau were
wanted for political workers; and the po-
ntical workers got them. The compiling of
the statistics gathered, however, has been
pretty much under democratic control,
with the result that the completed census
will be issued about the first of January
next, in nearly two years less time than
the republicans took to complete the pre-
ceeding census

gia district has been very quiet for the
last four or five years. No republican
candidate was put up in the last congress

the last there were only about COO re-

port is current that the Republican party
will enter the field at the extra election,
soon TO be held. Their efforts. as the re-
publicans themselves know very we'll.
will not result in the election Of a repub-
