mo Fever sitnntion.

The cooler weather of the last two or
three days has been productive OF de-
clded Improvement in the fever situation.
In the infected sections, particularly in
New Orleans, the feeling that there will
not be a serious epidemic is greatly
strengthened, and outside of those sec
tons, but within the territory liable to
be infected, II is thought that danger from
the fever is about over There is there
fore a noticeable cheerfulness in those To-
calities in which the spread of the fever
was regarded with feelings of apprehension
a few days ago. We do not regard the
case which has developed in Atlanta as
threatening danger to that city, or to other
places. A fun statement of it is contain
ed in our dispatches.
In this city the alarm that was manifest
ed when the fever made its appearance
ia New Orleans and Mobile, has practi-
cally subsidized. The prompt steps which
the mayor and sanitary board took to
keep refugees, baggage and freight from
the infected districts out of the city, and
the efforts the mayor made to have the
city put in a good sanitary condition and
the drainage of the contiguous territory
attended to had a very quoting effect
There will be no relaxation of the quar-
antine regulations or of the measures for
improved sanitary conditions until all
danger has disappeared. The mayor
makes that statement and judging from
his energetic action for the protection of
the citys health, it will be adhered to.
Therefore there is no good reason why
the people of Savannah should be at all
apprehensive that Savannah will be trou-
bled with the fever. They can give all
of their time to their business affairs con-
ndent that the welfare of The city will
not be neglected.

secrct of Good Pnvements.

Mayor Harrison of Chicago thinks he
has found out why asphalt pavements IN
New York, Pittsburg and some other
cities last for many years without any
! repairs of consequence, while the asphalt
pavements of Chicago are in need of re-
pairs almost as soon as they are con-
structed He has been visiting New York
/ and Pittsburg, and has given the pave
meats Of these cities a very thorough ex-
animation In the course of an interview
| in respect to them in a Chicago paper, he
| says: THE trip convinced me that as
| phalt paving. if properly laid, is the best
! and most durable. I saw a street in
| Pittsburg paved with old coal tar which
had been laid twenty-five years, ana it
was in splendid condition. 1 saw other
streets that had been paved with asphalt
fifteen, eighteen. and in some instances
twenty years ago, and they are in good
condition. Contractors must pave the
streets that way in Chicago if they wish
10 do business with the municipal admin
istration I do not wish to reflect on any
one in particular. Our streets are laid
for repair and not for wear.
In Pittsburg they require a ten-year
guarantee. and ia New York contractors
must keep the pavement in good condition
fifteen years after it has been laid. I am
satisfied that is one reason why the pave
ment has lasted better. The conclusion
as to our asphalt paving is it has not been
properly laid. We should require a great
er guarantee of the work"
secret of the durability of the asphalt
pavements in New York and Pittsburg is
the guarantee which the paving compan-
les must give. In Pittsburg they must
guarantee to keep the pavements in good
condition for ten years, and in New York
fifteen years. 1t is to the interest there
fore of the paving companies to put down
first-class pavements.
Here in Savannah, the paving company
guarantees to keep in repair the paving it
does only five years. After that period all
repairs have to be paid for at pretty
big price.
But if the asphalt paving companies
which get paving contracts in New York
and Pittsburg guarantee to keep their
work in first-class condition ten or fifteen
years, why shouldn't the company which
gets contracts for asphalt paving in this
city, give equally as long a guarantee? We
are not sure about it, but our impression
is that we pay as much if not more per
square yard for asphalt pavement than
New York. And from what Mayor Harri-
son says we do not get anywhere near as
good a pavement. Broughton street has
not yet been paved fifteen years, and yet
the city has paid large amount of mon
ey for repairs upon it.

ReekIess Statements.

There is q class OF newspapers which
find more satisfaction in being. sensational
than In being truthful. Ope of these pa
pers is the New York Journal.
on Tuesday the Journal pub
hshed an article on the Central Of Georgia
railway. It stated that the Central had
passed into the control of J. Pierpont
Morgan and that it would be reorganized
and used to advance the interests of the
Southern railway.
We mention only the foregoing state
ments because we wish TO say something
in regard to them, and pass unnoticed the
many other statements which every one
familiar with the Centrars affairs would
recognize at once as being false.
1t is doubtful If the relation of Mr. Nor
gan to the Central has undergone any
change since the CentraTs reorga nization
was completed. What that relation Is no
one not in Mr.. Morgan's confidence seems
to know. 1t can be stated. however, with
a great degree of positiveness that there
is no reason for supposiug that the Cen
trail is to be reorganized at this time. It
Is in no need Of reorganization. All the in
dicauons are that ir is on firm financial
busis.
1t is within the bounds of probability
that Mr.. Conner may retire from the pres
idency and Mr. Egan, the vice president,
may be chosen to succeed him. But II
that change should be made it wouldn't
amount TO a reorganization of the prop
erty. Therefore we fail TO understand
what the Atlanta Journal Of Wednesday
means by the following headline over
dispatch having a New York date, viz,
Central to be reorganized.'' u
No, the Central is not TO be reorganlzed;
neither is it. in our opinion 10 be used TO
advance the interests of the Southern.
Soon after it was reorganized the opinion
was quite frequently expressed, by some
Of those who knew nothing of it's affairs,
that it would be managed In the interest
of the Southern, and that Savannah's
business would be taken to Norfolk. This
opinion was based upon the fear that such
would be the fact and not upon any in
formation from reliable sources. AS far
as anybody knows the Central has not
been used 10 increase the Southern's earn
ings, and there is no good reason for
thinking it will be. President Conner has
always said that the Central would be
made to earn all it could without any re-
gard to the policy Of the Southern, and
in an interview published in the Morn
ing News yesterday, Vice President Egan
says the same thing. Those who control
the Central mean that it shall earn all
it can. That is the policy on which it has
been, and will continue to be, managed.

The people of New Jersey-that is the
good people-are going to try to make it
impossible next Tuesday for legislature
of their state to Iegalize any kind of
gambling. They are going to vote on an
amendment to the state constitution
which declares that no kind Of gambling
shall be authorized.
1t seems that some years ago the legis-
lature authorized pool selling and book
making on the race course. Very soon
afterwards two great racing resorts We're
established, namely. Guttenburg and
Gloucester. They became notorious, es-
pecially for the swindling methods that
were adopted to fleece the unwary-so no
torious that the people demanded that the
legislature should repeal the law under
which they operated. There was a big
fight over the matter, in which some of
New jerseys eminent Christian states
men were crowded into obscurty from
which they have never emerged. The OPP
ponents of gambling won the fight and
Gloucester and Guttenburg disappeared
Now, it is proposed to make it impos-
sible for any legislature to enact a law
permitting gambling. The people are
afraid that legislature, containing more
bad than good men, might be elected at
some time and extend a general invitation
60 gamblers to make their home in the
state, Offering them facilities for carrying
on their business. They are going to take
away from the lawmakers, if they can,
the temptation to give encouragement to
gambling

The veterinary college at Cornell Uni
versty, Ithaca, received a handsome gift
through a somewhat peculiar circumstance
a few days ago. Ex-Gov. Flower and a
friend were driving on the campus OPP
posite one of the buildings their horse
baked The driver dashed the brute, but
it refused to move. The occupants of
the vehicle in order 10 kill time while
the driver was coaxing the horse into a
good humor got out and entered the
building. During their walk it was
learned by the ex-governor that the libra
ry of the veterinary college consisted Of
only fifteen volumes The friend ex-
pressed regret that it was so small, and
asked MIR. Flower why he did not give the
college a library. How much would be
needed TO supply one?" the ex-governor
asked one of the professors. Five thou
sand dollars was the reply Without
further words Mr.. Flower took out his
check-book and wrote a check for the
amount, and placed it in the professors
hand. If the horse had not baked, the
library probably would not have been Civ

LiahiIity covers the south.
From Charleston News ana Courier Dem.

The one thing to be borne in mind is
that these instance of discrimination
against the white people of the south do
not concern alone the particular commu-
mites against which they are aimed. EV-
cry town and city in this section is liable
to the humiliation which has been i'm
posed on Hogansville, Atlanta and New
Orleans. Their experience this year may
be that of any other place. or places, at
any time when there is a republican adj
ministration at Washington. The fact has
been strongly impressed on the attention
of the white people of this section, and it
should not be forgotten.
