The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-09-28

The Citizens Industrial committee has
accomplished more for Savannah than any
similar organization. except probably the
harbor Improvement committee, that has
been formed here for a number of years.
It had the no-fence law adopted, and un-
! der its auspices Savannah was we'll rep
resented at the Atlanta exposition. These
two achievements fully justify the pains
and expense that have been given to the
work Of the committee.
In the matter of the no-fence law, the
good effect in the county is already very
Marked and whatever helps the county
helps the city. Thousands of acres Of
land which were lying idle are now under
cultivation, and the cattle that are to be
seen are in better condition than when
they were permitted to roam at will, and
depended upon instinct and chance for
feed. The cultivated area in the county
will be still more largely increased during
the coming year, and the development OF
Chathams agricultural interests will go
on until very nearly every available acre
will be giving its fruits to swell the vol
ume of business Of the city and port.
The colored people are beginning to I'M
derstand that the law requiring the fenc-
ing-in Of cattle can and will be enforced,
and they seem disposed to take advantage
of the opportunities it offers. The idea
of planting crops without a fence around
them was new to the race this year, and
they We're not certain that it was not
white mans law" and that the darkey
wasn't in it." But they know now that
such is not the case; that as many bene-
fits accrue to the blacks from cheapened
farms and fat cattle as to the whites.
AS a matter of fact, the advantage is
with the black man, for under the no
fence system many black men who could
not afford the expense of fencing tract
of land, can now plant without fence,
with the assurance that cattle will not in
a night destroy the results of many
months labor. The coming season will
see hundreds of new small farms in the
county under cultivation. If a man is
blessed who makes two blades of grass to
grow where one grew before, the Citizens
Industrial committee must be accorded
high praise Tor making many vegetables
and cereals grow where only grass grew
before.
Before the adoption of the law the
drainage canals were constantly being
filed up by the cattle crossing them, or
going into them for water. The expense
to the county from this cause was con-
siderable in the run of a year, besides
which the public health was menaced
from the choked drains. This condition
no longer exists, and the canal banks need
less attention than ever before. 1t is also
true that the milk supply coming from
the suburbs has been improved. Cows no
longer drink stagnant water from the
choked drains, and being provided with
better water and better food, quite nat
urally give better milk.

bargaining for Land.

1t requires time and tact to buy noun
tain land. The following is a typical ex-
perience as related to Washington Star
reporter by timber land buyer:

Kentucky, when l saw a tract of land

They Need "a Whaling.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dem.I

The Yale freshmen who interfered with

Thursday We're foolish boys whose brains

faculties of mind.
The fifth day after the SO years and four
months, which made her reign the longest,
she spent at Balmoral Castle, her Scot
land home where she is now entertaining
the Car of Russia, and there she and her
imperial guest, no doubt, enjoyed literary
feast in reading from the various English
papers the history of the progress and de-
velopment of her people since her reign be-
gan, June 90 1887.

the European sovereigns, the next in or

Austria-Hungary, whose accession dates
from Dec. 2, 1S4S.
1t was not the queens wish that her
long reign should be celebrated by her peo-
pie at once. She preferred that 1t be
postponed until the Goth anniversary of
her accession to the throne, which will
accordingly be done Her majesty has
good reason to be proud of the progress of
her people and the development of her
country's resources since her reign be-
gan. English acquisitions of territory and
the spread of English people, in many new

lish people too are justly proud of their
queen who in all her reign has never
sought to exercise power or influence be-
yond the constitutional limitations placed
upon the sovereign; whose policy of econo-
my Is everywhere commended, and who
has set up a standard of morality and
right which from the beginning of her
reign has impressed itself upon the peo-
pie, and been a potent and effective in
huence upon English society.

Politics Hurts Prohibition.

It is noticeable that some of the most
prominent ministers of the state are re-
GREETING that prohibition has been made
an issue in state politics They are sin
cere prohibitionists, but they do not per-
NIT their sympathies to dominate their
judgments. They know that the temper

the state under local option than 1t would
If a general prohibition law should be
passed. They want results. Those VINO
have injected prohibition into the cam
paign are controlled by a sentimental
notion that they will have accomplished
great work if they can get a general
prohibition law.
We published recently a commu-
nication from Waycross, complaining
that local option fails because liquor
from the wet" counties Is carried
into the "dry" counties. The writer of
tho communication is sincere, but not
practical. The blind tigers" would still
exist If there were no wet" counties
and, besides, there is no evidence that
all the blind tigers" are kept alive by
inc wei tOuullGS. L ne IdllTOdOS 90 not
stop at state lines. If no liquors were
carried from Atlanta and Savannah to
the dry counties there would be plenty
of it carried there from New York, Gin
cinnati, Louisville and other far away
cities, Just as 1t is now carried from those
! cities into South Carolina.
| AS a matter of fact, the counties which
have not yet adopted prohibition are much
better qualified to judge Of their own
affairs than the people of other counties
are to judge for them. In the course OF
time they may adopt prohibition, but
they are confident that if prohibition were
forced on them in the present condition
of public sentiment in their limits they
would suffer greater evils from liquor
than they do now.

The Georgia RegIstration.

The registration of voters for the com
ing elections shows that the people ara
/ interested in the contest to more than an
ordinary extent. The indications are thai
a very heavy vote will be polled. In many
of the counties, those that contain cities
as well as those that do not, the registra-
ton has been Unprecedented. The several
political factions have been watching the
registration, and the conclusion to be
reached from the notes of the watchers
is that the regular state democratic ticket
will win by a largely increased majority.
The indications are that the democratic
majority that will be returned at the state
election will be the largest for many
years. In that event, the recent republic
can victories in New England will be met
and answered. Georgia is a better indi-
Gator Of national public opinion than is
isolated Maine.
The advices are that while the colored
people have registered in larger numbers
than heretofore, the greatest increase has
been of people who will vote the regular
democratic ticket 1t should be borne in
mind, however, that this year a great
many black voters will cast their ballots
for Atkinson and the regular democratic
congressional nominees. Several meet
ings Of cOlored men have recently been
held in South Georgia at which Atkin-
son and Brantley or other nominees for
congress, were endorsed. Some Of the
most able colored speakers in the state
have taken the stump for the democratic
state ticket, and there is no doubt that
the result of the election will show that
the colored voters are too old birds to
be caught with the chaff offered them by
the prohi-populist candidate for governor.
A few figures and estimates will serve
to show how the vote of this year will
be cast In Sumter county at the last
election the democratic state ticket won
by about 400 majority; it is estimated that
Atkinson's majority in that county this
year will be 800. DeKalb gave Atkinson
a majority Of 300 twoyears ago; the calcu-
lation is that she viii give him 500 MAORI
ty this time. Muscogee rolled up a major
ity of 500 two years ago for the democrats;
she is counted upon to double those figures
next month. Glynn's democratic majority
was in the neighborhood of 400 at the last
election; she is expected to add another
hundred to those figures. And thus it
goes in all of the counties that have been
heard from. These estimates are based
upon the registration, and are made by
men who are well informed as to the sit
uation in the several counties.
There are good reasons for the belief
that the vote for the democratic national
ticket in November will be as heavy as for
the democratic state ticket in October The
populists will vote against Atkinson in
October and for Bryan in November; the
Palmer-Buckner faction of the democratic
party will vote Cor Atkinson in October
and against Bryan in November. Thus it
may be expected at least an "old time"
democratic majority will be given each
candidate

IntoIernnce condemned.
From the Norfolk Landmark (Dem.)

Not only is the display of intolerance

er grounds. but it is foolish even from the
lower ground of partisan politics. When

Of his audience who do not happen to agree
with his views. when any man of known
high character is prosecuted by political
opponents without excuse, the sympathy
Of every fair man is aroused at once; and
