The Limit of Endorsement.

1t is a question If any report or recon-
mendation from the grand jury contrary
to the ideas of the controlling spirit of
the board Of county commissioners would
be worth more than the paper it was
written on. II is also a question whether
the conclusive facts which have been pre-
sented to the board and the public on
the subject of drainage will have any
effect in altering the determination of the
board of county commissioners against
the pleasure of the controlling spirit. Still,
for all of that the grand jury and the
Morning News must do their duty to the
public as it appears to them.
On this line the Morning News desires
to call the attention of the grand jury
again to the fact that the best engineering
authorities assert that the proper drain
age of Musgrove creek watershed is to
the Savannah river and not to the Ogee-
chez river, and that the drainage of Buck
halter swamp will not drain the country
contiguous to the city, except by the con-
struction of canals and drains at twenty
times the cost It would require to follow
the direction of natural drainage and carry
the water to the Savannah river. Even
at that cost, only comparatively small
part of the Musgrove watershed could be
drained into the Ogeechee.
The grand jury may be under the i'm
preston that those who are urging the
expenditure of large sums of public
money in canalng and ditching Buckhal-
ter swamp really believe that thereby they
can and will improve the sanitary condi-
ton of areas Immediately contiguous to
Savannah. The Morning News has too
high an opinion of the mental caliber of
the leader of the Buckhalter swamp drain
age scheme to think that he has any idea
that the Musgrove watershed can or
should be drained into the Ogeechee river
The majority of the grand jury may fol-
low the lead of the majority of it's special
committee that drove with county com
missioners and others over "twenty-one
miles of new roads built since 1895" with
out finding cupful of real wet water;
but the people Will not follow the grand
jury in indorsing the Buckhater busi-
ness; and all parties concerned may as
well make note of t,

COMERS AND GOERS.

Miss Minnie Massey returned
home few days ago from visit
OF several weeks among relatives
and friends in York county.
Mr.. Dick Fudge and wife spent
some time in Van Wyck the past
week as the guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. II. III. Massey.
Van Wyck was represented at
the annual Falls picnic by the
following representatives: Mr..
Paul Beckham, Judge and Miss
Pompey Tillman.
MIR. w. r.. Tillman sold at one
time few days ago 100 pounds
lard and 300 pounds home
raised hams, which demonstrate
that the Southern farmer can
have his smoke house in his own

on the first Monday in April in

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered to some time ago to
give away bottle of their Digestive
Cordial to any one who might call at
their New York Office, there was a
great rush and a great many people
thought they were crazy.
Subsequent events proved il to have
been very clever advertising trans
action, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, it was In the end
proiitable; nearly every one that took
free bottle came back for more and
paid for it with pleasure, saying they
had derived better results from it than
from any other medicine they had
ever used.
There is nothing so uniformity sue
cessful in the treatment of stomach
troubles as the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial, and what is better than all, it re-
lieves at once.

past records in preparing the
land and getting their crops in.
About all of the cotton crops is

farmers are beginning to adopt
the intensive plan in the manage

more heavily and diversifying
their crops, and from observation

The outcome of the Union Pacific affair
Illustrated the difference between the meth
DDS of two administrations The sale of the
governments claim to a syndicate of which
Mr.. Morgan was the head was the prop&si-
ton of the Cleveland administration. Ii
it had been concluded the United States
would have lost at least $20,OOO,0OO. 1t is
safe to say that if Mr.. Cleveland had con-
tinued as President the sale would have
been made. He recommended 1t, and ms
attorney general and other advisers deemed
the offer of the syndicate fortunate one.
Who would have got the $2OOO0.00O is not
known. but the reorganization committee
representing the stockholders came to the
conclusion that it could not afford to let
the Morgan syndicate take the place of the
United States at any such figure, and
finally began to make bids for the govern
ment's claim. It's last bid was equal to the
governments investment in the Union Pa
cifc. IT was made because the parties in
interest knew that the administration was
determined to get the full value of the in
vestment. Long since the Cleveland adj
ministration would have sold the property
to the Morgan syndicate. 1t looked for no
other offer 1t was persuaded that the gov
ernmep..s claim was of little value, and it
was bound to regard the offer of the Nor
gan syndicate as bit of rare fortune. No
fair-minded man will accuse President
Cleveland and his Cabinet of any unworthy
motive in the proposed transaction; it was
simply a case of what may be called bust
ness incapacity. The Mckinley admins
tration was persuaded that more money
might be got for the governments claim
upon the Union Pacific. set about getting it
and succeeded. The Mckinley method has
saved the government $2O0OO,0oO.
It may be said that the improved times
enabled the Mckinley administration to
make the better sale. Suppose the better
times did cause higher bids to be made
whence came the better times? The evil
times came with the election of Mr. Cleve-
land. When he came to the White House
in 1893 S7S,6O2 employees were paid by the
railroad corporations; a year later the rail-
road employees numbered 7S4.0S4-a falling
off of 50. $50 Railroad earnings shrank
fearfully and values in railroad properties
shriveled When the country was satisfied
that the Republicans would carry out their
pledges in regard to the tariff. business be-
gan to revive and values In all railroad
properties to improve. If, therefore. the
better bargain Of the Mckinley administra-
ton Is due to the improved times, the Re-
