southern Troops for Porto Rico.

It looks now as if some of the Southern
regiments would have a chance to see ac-
tive service. 1t is regarded as quite Ger
tain that the Second Georgia, now at
Tampa, viii form part of Gen. Miles
force for The capture of Porto Rico, and
it is probable that the First Georgia, as
well as the First Florida, will also form
a part of the Porto Rico expedition.
Any of these regiments are anxious for
active service. They were greatly disap-
pointed because they were not included in
the Santiago expedition. Perhaps, how
ever, they do not regret it SO much now
since the fever has appeared among the
troops in Cuba. Soldiers don't fear bullets
as much as they do disease.
A good many of the Southern troops
have felt that the government was not
dealing justly with them-was holding
them back while the soldiers from the
North were given chance to distinguish
themselves at the front. That feeling was
natural 1t is apparent, however, that
the government has not Intentionally dis
eliminated against the Southern soldiers.
only a few regiments of volunteers
went to Santiago. It was expected that
the fighting there would be done chiefly
by the regulars. The volunteers which
were sent were among the best equipped
and drilled in the service. They were
chosen for that reason.
In this connection the Greenville, S. c.,
News says that when the war began the
South was practically without well or
gained and well drilled regiments. On
the other hand the North had many reg
iments which were prepared to take the
field at once. The Northern states being
richer have provided literally for their
militia.
The South had a great many military or
CARNATIONS. but she was lacking in fun,
well drilled and well equipped regiments.
The Southern troops, therefore, were held
back until they could be prepared for ser
vice al the front.
Ii is probable that they win see active
service enough if the peace negotiations
fan through. Havana would have to be
taken. That would be the great event of
the war and The Southern soldiers would be
given an opportunity there to. add TO the
glory Of their section of the country and
of the nation

The House Plumbing Ordinance.

me house Eiu inning ordinance
No law looking to the projection Of the
health OF the Individual and the communi-
" has a more direct bearing upon that
subject than the ordnance which relates
to house plumbing. The city may spend
thousands of dollars TO conserve the
health Of lis inhabitants by putting in
new house drainage system, but its pur-
pcee would be defeated if house
plumbing were materially defective. There
have been well defined instances in this
city, and probably in every other city,
where sickness. suffering and death were
the results of detective house plumbing
In such cases. the persons who did the
work were as guilty Of crime as if they
had knocked their victims on the heads
with soldering irons.
There are. of course, a great many con-
scientious plumbers. The majority of them
may be so classified, indeed They are
men who charge reasonable prices and
give good value for the money received.
But all plumbers are not Of that class.
There are some who get all of the money
they can and give as little as possible in
return for it. They are absolutely indif-
ferent to the cases of illness which may
result as consequences of their unscrupu-
lous work. They are persons who cannot
be trusted. and who must be looked after
by the law.
Savannah recently after years Of per
sistent effort on the part of plumbers and
sanitarians, passed an ordinance creating
the office Of plumbing inspector. The duty
of the inspector is 10 see that all
house plumbing is done properly The APP
pointee under the ordinance is a com
petent workman, and so far he has shown
that he is impartial and fearless in the
discharge of his duties. He has a respon-
sibe office he appreciates his trust, and
he should have the support Of every law
abiding citizen in the discharge of his OBJ
legation. There should be no more at
tempt to shield any citizen or plumber
who violates the ordinance regarding
plumbing than if he had violated the quar-
antne or other municipal laws.
The Morning News which has advocated
every measure looking to the good health
Of the city and community, understands
1ii"' ''Ni' - . O'9I'OHi'i"ii I'll VI IAN q"di
ters TO protect parties who have violated
the plumbing ordinance, and who to some
extent have deied the inspector. The
matter Of sanitary house plumbing is too
important too vital to the health of the
people, to permit of any such proceedings.
There should be no trihing with this ques-
zion, even by parties in high places. The
laws should be enforced without fear or
favor
