NATURE OF SANDY SOILS.

Sand has great power for the
transportation of water. It will
convey water quicker than any
other soil, but it will not hold as
much. A clay soil holds more, but
water will pass through more
slowly. Sandy soils take in all the
rains that fall, and if there is a
subterranean supply within ten or
fifteen feet of the surface, it seems
to have a power to pump the water
up to the roots of the plants. If,
however, there is no such supply,
the higher temperature of summer
will usually increase the temper
allure of the top sandy soil and
gradually dry it out faster than a
fine, clayey soil. Clay will hold
more moisture, and hold it longer
than any other form of soil, but it

some visionary who hopes against
hope will remain, or some debtor
who has vague impression that
bimetalllsm will in some way re-
lieve him Of his membranes.
Whoever doubts that this will be
the result may look at the outcome
Of the international conferences
which have been held on this
matter. There was in them much
eloquence SO long as the general
subject was grated upon.
''But when the question turned
upon how the thing was practic-
ally to be done, the members soon
found it was time to break up and
60 home. This will inevitably be
the result wherever the matter is
intelligently discussed. in every
civilized country the business COM
munity is overwhelmingly against
the double standard. The yearn-
ing of mankind for bimetallism is
a myth.
''The serious consideration
in Congress of bill to
bring about another international
conference on bimetallism is one
of the ghastliest performances of
our day. Hardly any Of the men
who vote for it believe in the pos
sibility of accomplishing the OBJ
ject. To say that the Republican
platform obliges the party to make
the attempt is like saying that a
platform may oblige a party to
galvanize dead body into life.
The outcome can be only to shake
the confidence of the world in the
intelligence or good faith of the
American people, which seemed to
shine so brilliantly in the late
presidential election, to discredit
the meaning of the sound money
victory, and to furnish to the silver
agitators in the United States an
official Endorsement Of their most
captivating arguments with which
to make a new campaign"

sensible persons running away
with their understanding In the
first place, the very evil which
these philanthropists mean to
remedy is not such as they assume.
TO be sure, there il much poverty,
distress and suffering in this
world--more than enough to move
a good heart to pity. All the more
should we be careful to base our
schemes of relief upon correct
diagnosis of the evil. While it is
true that much misery exists, it is
not true that it is at present of ex-
ceptional extent, or that of late
years it has been growing worse.
On the contrary, the general con-
dition of mankind as to material
well-being is not nearly as unsatis-
factory as it was fifty or thirty
years ago. It has decidedly i'm
proved, especially since the period
which to the mind of the bimetal-
fist marks the beginning Of pro-
gressive calamity-the period of
the establishment of the gold
standard in Germany and in the
United States. Not only has there
been in. the countries named, as
we'll as in England-the leading

Touching the question of revenue
needs, the President points out that
a deficiency is inevitable SO long as
the expenditures of the government
exceed its receipts; that it can only
be met by loans or an increased
revenue; that there ought to be but
one opinion as to the alternative
to be adopted, and, to sum up, that
we-should have more revenue, and
that without delay, hindrance or
postponement. SO much being pre-
missed, it is further pointed out that
the country clearly opposed to any
needless additions to the system of
internal taxation. Duties on i'm
ports must be looked to as the main
reliance, and in their imposition, the
President says, the principle which
should be followed is that which
goes generally under the name of
protection. In the revision of the
tariff, he further suggests, especial
attention should be given to the
reenactmen and extension of the re-
ciprocity principles of the law of

that of tea more than 20 per cent.
Moreover, the average consump-
ton of wheat is one-ffth, and that

countries show similar results.
drawing logical conclusions
from such facts, the bimetallist, to
be candid, would have to admit
that if the establishment of the
gold standard had any effect upon
the ma erial well-being of the
great masses of mankind at all, it
has been in the way, not of deter
ioration, but Of marked improve
ment.
"In the same conclusive fashion
will the statistician disprove his
pretense that the volume of cur
rent money has diminished since
the establishment Of the gold
standard, for they show by figures
that the per capita circulation has
actually increased And this fact
suffices to expose the holIowness of
the assertion with which we
have been piled for years, that the
extensive decline in prices is ow-
ing to elimination in the volume
of current money. If the volume
Of money had determined the
of prices, might it not
be legitimately said that prices had
gone down because the volume Of
money has gone up?
but the most characteristic Gle
fusion Of the bimetallists is their
belief that, excepting a small num-
Der OF persons interested in the
gold standard, all mankind is fairly
hungering and thirsting for the
realization of their scheme. The
method by which the propagandist
of bimetallism swells his rolls of
adherents is very simple one.
You ask ten persons whom you
happen to meet whether it would
not be nice thing to have some
arrangement by which silver and
gold could be made safely to cir
culate together, thus giving the
world about twice as much money
as it has now, and nine of these
persons, not having given the
matter much careful thought, will
reply that this would be
a nice thing, indeed.
'The propaganda of bimetal-
lism then promptly registers them
among the firm believers in his
panacea, and thus puts down a ma
jority of nine to one. But what
will the nine reply when asked the
further questions, whether they
think it possible, by mere legal
enactment or international agree
ment, to raise the market price of
silver-which is now Csc an ounce
to Sl.29 an ounce, so as to make
silver money acceptable at the
ratio Of 10 to l; or whether they
think that any other ratio can be
agreed upon, and which, if agreed
upon, would bring about a practic-
able double standard Of values;
or whether they think that any of
the great commercial nations
which are carrying on their bust
ness successfully on the gold
standard will be inclined to aban-

SECURING COTTON HANDS.
Shippers Had All the Help They
Needed For the Work Yesterday.

Another vessel, the British steamer
Coniscliffe, now lying at the Plant system
wharf. was added yesterday to those re-
ceiving cotton. and work viii be begun
to-day on the British steamer Aymestry.
It is stated that 100 men were employed
yesterday in loading the five vessels. OF
these nearly 100 were white. They are
working on the same terms as those re-
fused by the striking longshoremen. Al
though the men are inexperienced, it is
said their work is very satisfactory and
that it viii not be long before they gain
the experience that will make them good
cotton handlers. Their wages are $3.50
and So per day.
The gangs are so arranged as to consist
entirely OF white men or negroes. Par
ticular care is taken that the white men
and the colored are not put to work in
the same gang.
Drummers were sent out day before
yesterday to see If white men could be
secured TO do the work in place of the
strikers. Their success exceeded the eX-
pectations Of the ship agents and it was
said that the stevedore had to turn away
men who wanted work. They will be
provided for to-day, however, and there
viii now be enough loading necessary to
keep them engaged.
1t is not thought there viii be any diff
Guilty about getting labor. An author
itative statement was made to the Morning
News to the effect that all the labor nee
essary could be secured right here in Sa-
vannah. 1t was further said that there
VIII be enough white men who want work
to load all the vessels that may come to
the port.
One of The leading ship agents stated
that, while the talk of the strike has been
going on, they have quietly made arrange
ments with the railroads TO bring in 300 or
$50 men, if il should be found necessary.
He does not believe. however that there
vii be any necessity of securing outside
labor, but If it is found that enough men
cannot be obtained here, they will be OBJ

CANDIDATES ron TEACHERS.
Fifty-Seven Examined For Places I'm
the CoIoPed Schools.

The examination of candidates for teach
ers' places In the colored schools held
yesterday at the Chatham Academy by
Supt. Ashmore, was very largely attend
ed. there being fifty-seven candidates. OF
this number there were just seven men
and fifty women, showing that the fem
mine element predominates as largely in
the colored schools as in the white.
1t required practically the whole day
for the majority of the candidates to COM
plete their work and even then some of
them did not finish. The papers of the
candidates will be passed upon by the SUI
perintendent, and the names of those who
have attained the requisite average will
be placed upon a waiting list of eigibles
from which future vacancies in the color
ed schools will be filled. AS there is only
one vacancy in these schools at present
the successful candidates may have to
wait some time before becoming teach
ers.
supt Ashmore estimated that there
were about dozen of the candidates who
would make the required average. One
point in the examination, which may be
news TO the candidates as well as TO the
public is that their physical makeup is
considered in the selection of teachers
The superintendent and the members Of
the board of education do not care espec-
tally whether a teacher Is good looking or
not, but they do not want sickly and
weakly teachers who are liable to break
down under the strain of school work.
As vacancies frequently occur during the
school year, it is likely that more than
one Of the successful candidates in these
examinations will obtain teachers places
in the schools.

NO ADMISSION CARDS YET.

Public school Cards VIII Only he
Issued Sept. 81, %, and 80.
Supt Otis Ashmore of the public schools
yesterday requested a Morning News re-
porter to state that no cards of admission
to the public schools for the approaching
term will be issued before Sept. q. Cards
viii be issued only on three days-Sept.
q, Is and %.
The issuing Of cards is postponed to
that late date in order TO give all an
equal showing. There was considerable
trouble last year because there were more
children applying for places than could
be accommodated in some of the grades.
The same trouble viii probably occur
again this year Many parents are now
away from the city with their children,
and If the issuing Of cards should begin
now, all the places IN some of the grades
might be taken UP before their return.
BY postponlng the issuing of cards as late
as possible all children will be given an
equal opportunity to obtain admission to
the schools.
Children who were in the schools at
the close of last year will not require
admission cards, Supt. Ashmore stated.

Brunswick had quarantine officers at both
Jesup and Everett City. He further stat
ed that the declarations at quarantine all
along the territory embraced by the cities
OF Jacksonville, Savannah and Charleston
would have the effect of establishing an
almost iron-clad protection against the
fever. With all the cities that have de-
clared a quarantine against Mobile and
New Orleans and the infected territory
adjacent TO them, he said, there was the
friendliest feeling, and that all were work
ing for one object in common-the puonc
good and safety
Speaking of the situation in the infect
ed districts, in answer to a question as
TO whether or not be thought an epidemic
was likely TO follow, he said that 1t was his
opinion that very few additional cases
would develop, for the reason that such
a strict and rigid surveillance is being
kept, as will have the desired effect of
holding the spread Of the disease IN abey-
ance.
Alderman Owens a member of the sani-
tary board. stated that the board had re-
ceived letter from DR.. Stone, in which
he had detailed the facts contained in his
former kilograms TO the committee ana
the mayor, and which have been hereto
fore published in the Morning News.
Speaking of the return Of Dr. Stone TO Sa-
Vannah, about which much has been said.
Alderman Owens stated that DR.. stone
was an immune, having had the yellow
fever, and that the only precaution which
he would have to observe in returning
would be to thoroughly disinfect his wear
ing apparel and baggage.
The fact that Atlanta has opened her
doors to refugees from the infected terri
tory, has not led the board to request the
mayor to declare any quarantine against
that city. Health officer LeHardy, when
asked as to this stated that the inspecting
officers had strict orders to satisfy them
selves beyond any doubt, that no one en-
tered the city, who had not been away
from the infected territory ten days. They
were required to demand the most posi-
tive evidence of this fact, and he was
therefore of the opinion that the city was
amply protected by the inspectors in so
far as Atlanta is concerned.
The Office of the health officer Is crowd
ed daily with applicants for certificates.
They are principally for persons desiring
to go either to Florida or South Carolina.

COTTON MEN DON'T BELIEVE IT.
They Look For Bigger Crop Than
the Reports Indicate.


the Reports Indicate.
The bureau report of the condition of
the Georgia cotton crop was the subject
of general conversation among cotton men
yesterday. While it was acknowledged
that the general weather conditions dur
ing the past week have been very detri-
mental to the growing, crop, and the con-
dition of cotton has deteriorated very
much since the last issue of the bulletin,
there are many who do not credit the
report that the crop will be one-fourth
short.
A prominent cotton broker said that it
was what could be reasonably expected
when the weather conditions were such as
to make the cotton open all at once. at
has always been proven that when the
fruit matured suddenly" he said, there
was no hope for a top crop as the plant
gave out its entire yield under the influ-
ence of the favorable weather at the be-
ginning of the season.
81 do not think that the total crop will
be over 925O,000 to $780, 600 bales" he said.
Although the prospects a month ago were
above the average, rust and shedding has
played havoc with the crop and the re-
ceipts will undoubtedly be lighter than
was expected a short while ago.
Notwithstanding the reports Of dam
age to the crop" said another cotton
man, sit is my opinion that Savannah will
have a banner year this season. The
acreage planted was much larger than
last year and damage during the past few
days cannot possibly bring down the crop
to last years yield. If the condition of
the crop a month ago had continued into
September the stalks would have grown
to trees and the farmers would have been
busy picking cotton for the next six
months"
In reference to caterpillars having at
tackled the plant in Southwest Georgia and
Florida, one of the leading cotton firms of
this city has received reports during the
last few days, stating that in Columbus,
Marion and Madison counties, Florida, and
several counties in Southwest Georgia, the
caterpillars have played havoc with the
growing crop. The leaves and young fruit
are being devoured by the caterpillars
This section is principally planted in sea
island cotton. While a month ago, the
prospects were good for the largest crop
of sea island cotton ever raised, the con-
dition lately has dispelled the general idea,
and it is estimated by some planters that
the crop will be about one-third less than
was expected a month ago
