This ones name is John 7. Wright, and
he went to Florida. He bought AZ acres
Of land from syndicate at $40 per acre.
He was told that it was rich, black soil,
with phosphate underneath, but he found
it poor pine land in fiat country, and
eight miles further away from the rail-
road than represented. The expense OF
moving was also much more than repre-
sented. All this so exhausted his funds,
and the outlook seemed 50 poor, that be

Like TO Hear Themselves Talk.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN Some pin headed
statesmen appear to have a great deal to
say just now about Saving the water
'front.' between l street and the Pioneer
Mill. Don't these wiseacres know that
that strip belongs to the railroad COM
pany and is covered with its railroad
tracks?
How do they Suggest" that that portion
OF the river front can be used Tor any
other purpose? Who has the right to
tear up the railroad tracks and throw the
railroad company out?
1t is easy enough to play to the gallery,
but sometimes a man makes laughing
stock of himself when he does it.
A great deal has been said lately about
inducing new Industries to come to the
city, yet we find some of the loudest of
these self-styled progressionists appar-
emily trying to drive from here an in
dustry that employs thousands of men
and distributes a million and half Of
dollars annually among our wage
earners.
In conclusion, what would these few
gentlemen do with the one foot OF river
bank that is not covered with railroad
tracks if they had it? How would they
get 10 it? COMMON SENSE.

Aud So Are the Hobo Gangs From tie
Far North.
The hobo hordes of the north are again
sweeping down upon US. They have
been coming into the city by droves the
past week. but the police are gathering
them in pretty lively or keeping them
moving.
Officers Talbot and Ash found about a
dozen of them holding high jinks in
box-car on the river front, where they
were guZzling some sour wine they had
bought with money procured by begging.
The officers marched them all to the po-
lice station.
The hobos were taken before Justice
Davis in the Police Court yesterday and
each one told his little story. One said
he was bOilermaker, another ship
carpenter, and so on, but when put TO the
test they proved to be just plain, every
day hobos.
SO many of the gang had said they
came from Portland or Tacoma, or
Seattle, that one fellow concluded to
switch off little and try another tack.
He said he came from Los Angeles and
was on his way to the San Joaquin Val
Icy by way of Vina, to look for work on
the new railroad.
With one exception Justice Davis
found them all guilty and consigned
them to the County Jail for forty days,

A Salvation Army Lasste Goes to Work
in the Sums.
Last night there was a gathering of the
Salvation Army at the depot to see the
departure of the overland train for the
East. The occasion was sad one for
some of those present, for 1t meant the
departure of young girl who, impelled
by strong sense of duty. leaves q good
home, her father. mother and sisters, to
take up the work Of visiting the slums of
the great city and trying to lead their
denlzens away from vice and sin, and to
bring them to their Savior.
Martha Wuttke is her name, and she is
not yet 10 years old. Her parents and
sisters were at the train to bid her fare
we'll, and 1t was an affecting scene.
Her comrades in the army, accompanied
by the band. were also there to bid her
God-speed on her GRAND and encourage
her in her undertaking.

Custom That is Full of Danger to
Average Migrants.
Migrants who insist on jury trials in
the Police Court are seldom the gamers
thereby. Justice Davis rarely makes a
mistake in determining whether or not
man is vagrant, and if the prisoner
can mako haltdecent showing he has a
good chance with the court. But If he in
sisls on a jury trial and isifound guilty he
is likely to get the full benefit OF the law
that he inyokes.
Yesterday when the cases of Ed. Day
and Arthur Merrill. charged with vag-
rancy, were called, each demanded a trial
by jury and their trials were continued.
They may yet wish they hadn't done it.

COTTON SEASON AT AN END.
The Year Not as satisfactory as II
Might Have Been.

The cotton season OF 1S94-'95 came to a
close yesterday. 1t was a very unsatls-
factory year to the producer, who was
compelled to sell the staple at a price
ranging from Az cents to cents. 1t was
the largest crop ever raised. being about
g. 10000 bales, against 7,549,sl7 in 1894.
The receipts at all of the ports
since Sept /, 1894. We're 1921 O92 bales
against 5,94OO92 bales the previous season.
The gross receipts at this port were
946, 272 bales, of which SS1 1867 were upland
and 64,SO5 sea island, against 971.4O5 in
1924. The receipts for 1S94-'95 did not
include Go ,349 bales, which were shipped
through to Charleston and Il, SOL through
to Port Royal, as the rule established for
the last year did not allow of counting
them as receipts at this port, as was the
case previous to that time.
The receipts counted for the season of
1924 included 67OSs bales, which were
shipped through to Charleston.
In making a comparison of the two sea-
sons, allowing Savannah the amount
which passed through, this would give
her an increase of 51,O77 bales over 1888 a.
And if the amount counted in 1893 "a had
been deducted from the receipts, as they
were this year, the totals would even
then show an increase of A, $50 bales in
favor of 1S94-95.
The total exports from this port for the
past season We're 949, 646 bales of which
SS4, 919 were upland, and 64,727 sea island.
The movement of the exports were
Coastwise, 356,096 bales upland and A 1893
bales sea island; to Great Britain, 1901
bales upland and 1906 bales sea island:
to France, 25,043 bales upland and 2 III
bales sea island; to the continent 4550ll
bales upland and 324 bales sea island. The
local consumption amounted to 2, 1893 bales
upland There were ,307 bales upland re-
shipped TO the interior and 276 bales up
land and bales sea island destroyed by
fire.
The average price received per bale for
uplands was SZ7.7l, for sea islands. sec. 50
and for both upland and sea island SIS. g.
The average weight of the cotton receiv-
ed at Savannah was 1854 pounds to the
bale of upland and 391.51 pounds to the

The first contact with the earth's shad-
ow will occur 81 degrees from the north
point of the moons disk toward the
east; and the last contact 40 degrees to-
ward the west.
For the sake of the young, it may be
stated that lunar eclipse is caused by
the moon passing through the shadow
of the earth, and that it can occur only
at full moon. The shadow of the earth
extends out into space a distance more
than three times the distance from the
earth to the moon, and its diameter at
that distance of the moon is about three
times that of the moon itself. on this oc-
casion the moon plunges almost central
ly through this dark shadow, and as the
moon is an Opaque body, giving no light
of its own, it would be supposed that
while in this shadow it would be OBJ
scured entirely from view, but such is
not the case. Even while the moon is in
the central portion of the shadow it is
family visible as a red, copper-colored
disk.
This curios phenomenon is explainable
from the well-known effect, which our at
mOsphere has upon the suns light This
light is composed Of seven different col
ors as seen in the rainbow. The moist
ure and impurities in our atmosphere
either absorb, reflect or polarize the
weaker blue rays, while the more vigor-
Gus orange or red rays struggle through,
and being refracted fall upon the moon
In the midst of the shadow and family
illuminate it with their dull colors. Our
red SURPRISES and sun sets are due to the
same cause.
The eclipse will be a rare and beautiful
one and well worth the trouble of observ-
ing it. Otis Ashmore.
