estimate of 100000 bales. And the East
Indian crop is short, as wei as the Ameri-

As an improvement that would be of
great convenience to future savannahiaus,
if not 10 those of the present dayihe city

ton to the desirabilty of making the
change by which First street would be
come Thirty-frst, and 50 on to and in
Guiding Twelfth which would of course
become Forty-secOnd street.
There are just thirty streets from Bay
TO Anderson, inclusive. First street is the
first south OF Anderson. Numerically,
therefore, it is the thirty-frst street south
of the City Exchange, and the northern
corporate limits. If the streets in the south
ern section are TO have number-names,
those names ought TO designate their con-
secutive numbers from logical starting
point Bay street, which is the first street
at the northern end of the city, and on
which the city Exchange is located, is
that logical starting point Under the pro-
posed scheme of remaining, the name of
any street would indicate how far south
of the city Exchange it was, and thus be
of invaluable aid to strangers within our
gates. The change would cause very little
confusion, if any; and any little which
might be caused would be only temper
airy. 1t is a very simple matter 10 add thir-
