had not been those Of hate. and
the south was melted to revolt only by
that instructive yearning for individual
statehood which dominates the Anglo-SaX-
on heart wherever it beats and makes the
race the missionaries of freedom.
The people of Maryland and Virginia
had for the most part sprung from the
dominant classes of that kingdom and
were bound to them by ties Of blood and
association. The settler Of Carolina had
fed from relentless persecution and the
ordinances OF the crown were, by COM

Georgia was the benencent project of
English philanthropy and English human

said that his company offered to lease
the Barnard street track of the Electric
Railway Company for a long term of
years, which proposition the receivers OF
the Electric Railway Company declined
to consider. The Savannah and Isle of
Hope people thought that the Electric
Railway Company would be very glad to
lease this line, which has been a cause of
strife and of loss to the company ever
since it was built, but in this it seems
they were mistaken. Being unable TO
get into the city in this manner they de-
cided to ask council for permission to
build line either on Barnard street or
Drayton street. There is no railroad track
on Drayton street at present, and Capt
Purse considered the proposition of the
company to pave the street with asphalt
sufhcient offset to any Inconvenience
| which the residents of that street and
the general public might suffer by reason
OF the location of the track there. As
a matter of fact, Capt. Purse said, he
would rather have Barnard or Haber-
sham street as the company will then be

ton street. There will be no difficulty. he
