Rv Rudvard Kinling.


God of our fathers, known OF old
Lord of our far-flung battle-line.
Beneath whose awful Hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest We forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies
The captains and the kings depart.
Still stands Thine ancient Sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
Far-called our navies melt away
On dune and headland sinks the fire;
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyrel
Judge Of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget
If. drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe
Such boasting as the Gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the law
Lord God OF Hosts be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget
For heather heart that puts her trust
In rocking tube and iron shard-
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding calls not Thee TO guard
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy Mercy on Thy People, Lord
Amen.

Where RnckhnIter Lies.

The map published this morning will
show the taxpayers and the people gen
orally the incorrectness OF the claim that
the drainage of Buckhalter swamp is nee
essary to the health of the city and ad-
jacent country. In the lower left hand
corner of the map viii be found the much
discussed Barony Of Buckhalter. and the
concentric lines will indicate its distance
from Savannah. The map represents an
area of 100 square miles including the city
ana adjacent territory, and shows the To-
cation Of all the canals and roads of the
county within that area The location
and the utility Of the work done by the
boards Of county commissioners, past and
present, can be seen at a glance.
The map was drawn by ex-County En-
gineer r. A. Blandford from his official
data, and is as accurate in every detail
as a drawing on such a small scale can
be made The description Of the drainage
system Of the county is from the pen OF
the same gentleman. The taxpayers of
the city and county can see by examining
the map where their money is being vast
ed If there is any benefit to be derived
by them from the work now being done
on Bu,khalter swamp, it is not apparent.
If the labor ana money which are now
being thrown away in the southwestern
corner Of the Sixth militia district were
used in completing the Dundee canal
which would drain the Musgrove creek
watershed, and in doing other necessary
sanitary work near the city, the health
problem could be solved in sixty days

Few, n any more OF the gold hunters

season. There are now 600 people al Dyea
waiting TO get over the pass. and there
are several more steamer loads on the
way. The Indian packers and their pack
animals have all they can possible do be-
fore winter sets IN, and the consequence
Is many OF those now al Dyea. and no
doubt an OF those now on the way Will

their time IN eating No the supply Of pro-

The Atlanta strike.

In a nutshell, the strike in Atlanta was
the outcome of an attempt to work white
and black women together as employees in
the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills. The
white women would not submit to the
terms of equality. and all of the other
white operatives upheld them in their de-
termination. On Thursday it was thought
the trouble had been settled by the re-
tirement of the black women, but on
Friday the situation was practically the
same as before, and the strike was con-
tinued.
There is no question that the striking
operatives will have the sympathy of
the entire white population of the south.
The time has not yet come, and we do
not believe it will ever come, when white
women in the south will be content to
work alongside of black ones, upon even
an industrial equality, in factory or
elsewhere. The employer who attempts
to establish such equality will meet with
merited condemnation.
At the same time. there is a serious
question if the white operatives will be
able to monopolize the textile factory
work in the south. The manufacturers
viii naturally seek the cheapest efficient
labor that can be found, IN order that
their investments may be made as prof.
table as possible AS has been seen in
Charleston aud Atlanta, many of them
will not be bound by sentiment in the Sc
lection of their labor. They will not re-
gard the ineradicable racial prejudice
which divides the white from the black
but will employ the labor which will do
the work effectively for the smallest
wages.
1t seems therefore. that the question
of the color of southern factory help
hinges upon the adaptability of the negro
to the requirements of the manufacturing
establishment. Should it develop that
the negro can be made an efficient factory
operative the negro. being the cheaper
would drive cut the white operative. 1t
would be merely an application of Gresh-
ans law to the labor problem; the cheap
er would drive out the higher priced. The
principle is the same in labor as in money.
Black labor in cotton mills, however,
has not yet passed the experimental stage.
II mas Dttn Sdlu llldb the negro ldCkS the
application, the power Of concentration,
the dexterity, necessary to the highly eff
icient manipulation of the delicate ma
chinery of the cotton mill Particularly
is this true it is said, with regard to ma
chinery which makes the finer cloths.
Such black labor as has been employed
in the coarse cloth mills has given promise
of future efficiency. upon which some
manufacturers build hopes of increased
profits. 1t would seem, therefore, that
about the best that white labor can look
forward to, in the cotton manufacturing
industry, is a monopoly in the plants for
making fine cloths; and even that is some
what in doubt. However We have no
doubt that white labor will more than
hold its own against black competition in
the field of labor as a whole The cheaper
grades may go to black operatives, but
the higher grades will continue to be filed
by white people.

where the Convicts Are.

The entire convict force of the county
with the exception of a small gang Of
about twenty-five men at work on the
Montgomery cross road, and the light
force of boys and women at the county
farm has been concentrated on the work
in Buckhalter swamp. 1t appears to be
the purpose Of the county commissioners
to push the work on the swamp so as to
have as much of it as possible completed
before the public cutlery against the
squandering of the taxpayers money be-
comes so great that the commissioners
will be forced to give heed to it,
1t is an open secret that there is al
ready considerable opposition in the board
to the continuation Of the work in the
Barony of Buckhalter: but there seems
to be somewhere species of hypnotism
which prevents the free action of the
boards members. There is evidently a
gent gentlemen remain quiescent while the
money of the people, which has been en-
trusted to them, is wasted.
1t needs no sanitarian to detect the bad
condition of the drainage on the Louis
vile road, nor does it require the eye of
an engineer to point out the defects in
the roads that are now being built. Any
one who knows water when he sees it.
or can distinguish a curve from a straight
line, can see these matters with one eye.
1t would be better for the people to
abolish the county commissioners, if they
cannot advise them, and place the man
agement of the countys affairs in the
hands Of The ordinary who. at least, is
an officer liable to removal if he does
not conduct his Office in accordance with
the laws under which he is elected.
1t might be well for the commissioners
themselves to remember that the law I'M
der which they were elected recognizes
no chairman of any kind, but each com
missioner is himself responsible for the
actions of the board.
