est Tax Gathering The Regulation OF
the Military Spirit" If there was ever a
successful preacher q was John the Bap-
tist and he adapted his teachings to the
demands Of his day and the people who at
tended his ministry.
The same principle characterized the
work OF Jesus. While no teaching eqauls
the sublimity Of his great doctrines, he
did not fail 10 apply them TO the conditions
Immediately surrounding him. His ar
raignment Of the Pharisees. scribes and
lawyers. the terrible invectiou, satire and
ridicule ne used against them justify the
principle / have laid down.
Paul was the great Christian preacher.
In the precepts he gives the ministry and
IN the topics he discussed in his epstles,
he confirms the theory that abstrat princi-
pies mus be applied to concrete cases.
and that universal morality can soonest
be taught through the events nearest to
US.
Allowing the utmost liberty TO the in
dlVldual preachers as to the method Of
executing his commission feel confident
that the God appointed law is that follow
cd by ELIJAH, john, Jesus and Paul. Let the
church recognize this fact and faithfully
sustain its ministry IN the DISCHARGE OF

THE NEW ROAD TO CHICAGO.
Col. Boone Actively at Work on the
Proposed Air Line.

Col Albert E. BOones Chicago and Sa-
vannah Air Line Railway, the Black Dia-
mond System, an account of which was
given in the Morning News some time ago
Is actively at work on the enterprise.
lie has advertised his intention to apply
for charter for the Georgia part of the
system to be known as the Ohio River.
Augusta and Tidewater. 1t will be a sep
arate company, with headquarters in
Knoxville
Col. Boone says he has learned from ex-
perlence that seeking too soon to interest
capital would have given the death blow
10 MS enterprise. He, therefore, has pro-
ceeded deliberately obtaining at first only
the money necessary for preliminary sur
yeys and expenses of incorporation I'M
der the laws of the several states through
which II Is proposed to build the Black
Diamond system.
AS projected. there will be five divisions
IN the system. % Chicago, via Indianapo-
lis, to Lamb, Ind, opposite Carrollton.
ny; ~ CarrolltOn, via Frankfort to Jel-
nco, Tenn; CD Jellico, via Knoxville, to
the North Carolina state line; ca The Ten
nessee state line via Franklin N c., to
the Georgia state line; 90 the North Car
DINA state line. via Rabun gap and Angus
The total mileage of this route from Chi
cage to Savannah would be OBS miles 800
miles less than by any of the roads now
built. Further Col. Boone asserts that he
holds the key to the southern railway Sit
uation in the possession of the right of
way from Knoxville to Jellico, Tenn. the
coal division, where his line has been To-
Gated with a maximum grade of sixty-six
feet to the mile. Col Boone says:
"Chtcago Is seeking and demanding a
through route to tidewater on the south

interest. Here is what the city has de-
sired. The territory that will be of most
value to Chicago lies along the Black Dia-
mond's location via Knoxville Tenn The

materials, easy of access and cheaply de-
Veloped than any other route between Chi
cago and the coast. That is to say nothing

be opened up to Chicago by so direct a
means of communication with the gulf sea-

WILLIAMS IN THE MAJORITY.
More People of Savannah Named
Williams Than There is Smith.

"ore Eeopie OF savannah Named
Williams Than There is Smith.
The common impression that the widely
distributed family name of Smith exceeds
any other in general numerousness does
not appear to hold good in Savannah.
An examination of the new city direc-
tory shows that this name is exceeded
in number by two others, one of which
is not generally regarded as a common
name.
According to the directory, the name
OF Williams has more representatives in
the city or Savannah than any other
name. me directory shows a total of
so people named Williams, who are suf-
nclently Wen known to get their names
IN the directory, while that of Brown
mas 80 names. AS compared with these
two, the Smiths have only $50 names. The
Weil-known firm Of smith Brown q
ROBINSON appear to have parted COM
pany In savannah, as the Robinsons only
have about eighty representatives in the
directory. The JOneses show up with $50
names, and the Johnsons run them a
close race with 240 names to their credit
These five leading names have no rivals
but there are several other family names
quite numerusly represented in the di-
rectory. Among the number the Davises
with 160 names, Greens with $50, Jack
sons with 1870 and Buffers and Ander-
names having 100 or more representa-
tlyes In the directory are Clark, Carter
walker, White, Wilson, Harris, Jenkins
Miller and Thomas
As the names of about one-third of the
residents of the city appear in the di-
rectory the total number of those bearing
each of these popular names can be got
ten at by multiplying the number in the
directory by three.
Although Irish names are numerous in
the directory very few have more than a
dozen representatives to their credit That
of sullivan runs highest with fifty-nine
The Murphys make a close second with
hfty-seven, while the McCarthys alone
or the Macs" reach over TWENTY-FIVE
Ihere are ten George WaShingtons all
colored, five Andrew Jacksons of whom
four are colored, while Thomas Jefferson
has not a single representative. There is
one Jefferson Davis, colored, and one Alb
raham Lincoln, colored. There is one u
s. Grant and one Alexander Stenhens
both colored. There is also a colored
Henry Clay, but Daniel Webster and John
{. Calhoun have apparently been forgot
ten by the colored population. Other pub-
Tic men too numerous to mention are com
memorated by the colored citizens who
bear their names. 1t win be noticed that
all the old family names of Savannah
nave more colored representatives than
white and in many instances names prom
inent in the history of the city appear, in
the directory only in the names of the col
ored people, old family servants and their
descendants probably The directory
opens with Aaron and ends with ZulaW-
sky

BIG FIGHT FOR A SMALL CREEK.
KnOtty Questions Grow Out of n
Little Stream Dry at Ebb Tide.

There is now before the supreme court
case from Chatham county superior
court involving the title 10 about half or
three-quarters OF an acre Of marsh land
and eoncurrently the right to use tide
water creek running through this little
piece OF land down 10 Herb river.
This little piece OF land Ties about on
the adjoining line between what are
known as the Cattle Park and Bona Bella
tracts, southeast of the city.
The sutt is that Of Mrs. Jane Orr against
MIS-. Alice Chandler and was brought for
eJeGtmsnt- Airs. Chandler owns strip
o. iafad Just north Of the aforementioned
hne between the two tracts. and Mrs. Orr
a strip OF land just south Of II, these two
pieces OF property adjoining each other.
betWeen the two pieces OF property and
practca-y constituting the dividing line,
Tor most OF the distance, at least, is a
Gam. This dam defects at the creek al
most at right angles, turning OF to the
marsh, Just to the sout beast of this dam
runs the creek across the property which
Is IN dispute. Next 20 this little piece in
dispute IS land Of LaRoche, to the east
OF which is Mrs. Crrs land, so situated
thal her property and that in dispute may
Dssi De represented by two paIallelograms
the other.
Frederick Chandler formerly owned both
Piecs OF property and sold on the Cattle
Park side Of the line 10 G. H. Miller and
on the Bona Belle side TO c. o. Godfrey
The plaintiff in ejectment bought from
Miller and the defendant from God
Trey. The plaintiff, appearing by
Messrs- McAlpin & LaRoche claim
ed that her deed called for the tract in dis
Pute, ana the creek which was wanted to
I9Inlsh access to the river. 1t was insist
ca that the dam mentioned was the prop
er boundary line between the two tracts
ana mat the marsh began at the creek, in
stead OF some distance beyond as the 9TH
er size set up. The defense, represented by
Messrs- Lester & Ravenel claimed that
the original deeds showed thatfher deed
ala not include the tract in dispute, that
the line between the two tracts is a
straight line as shown by all the deeds,
ana does not follow the detection of the
daIn and that the division of the property
ana It's sale by Frederick Chandler shows
clearly that the tract in dispute belongs to
MIS- Chambers property.
The case was twice tried before Judge
alllgant, new trial having been grant
cd once, and both times the verdict was
IN IaVCr or the plaintiff. Now the de-
1endant has taken ii to the supreme court
Where II was only recently argued. Some
time was spent In explaining to the judges
what tide water creeks are, and mans
explanatory of the whole situation were
furnished them. And all of this litigation
has been had to decide which of the two
landowners has the right to use a creek
that is practically dry at ebb tide

FOR NEGROES AND INDIANS.
Collections Taken I'm the Catholic
Churches of the Country.


Churches Of the Country.
Collections for the mission work among
the negroes and Indians in the United
States were taken up yesterday in all
the Roman Catholic churches of the coun-
try.
This is done in response to an appeal
recently issued to the bishops and arch
bishops of this country by the commits
sion charged with distributing the funds.
and which is composed of his eminence,
Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ryan and
Archbishop Kahn of ST. Louis. In their
appeal these prelates say:
ut is thirty years since the second
plenary council which met just after the
war, called attention to the dire spiritual
needs of the negro race in our southern
states. Great changes have come over
the negroes since them They have secur-
ed every privilege which the
gGverpmiepbtt Of the tbe Ameriean PEG
has flowed to them, trades and pro-
fessions have become theirs Our sepa-
rated brethren have poured out money
it all. In her way and according to her
means, the Catholic church has taken up
the task of evangelizing these people.
Thus far, some results have come.
Churches and priests, schools and sis
ters all over the south are laboring for
them. But more must be done.
"Of the Indians we need say but little.
Yearly is the appropriation Of the gov
eminent cut down by one-f1fth. Every
such decrease means additional burdens
on the church's schools among the rel
men, Yearly, too, hereafter, we may look
for their steady absorption among the
whites, and for their gradual disappear
ance.
1--WE are aware that in calling on you
we are merely re-echoing the sentiments
of your own hearts. Filled with the de-
sire of your masters glory, you are anx-
ious to see these S0O0,000 of negroes won
to Christ. You wish to behold the rem
nant of the race which welcomed Column
