The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1900-01-09

The announcement comes from FAN Riv
er that the American Thread Company will
soon build a new thread mill there which
will give employment to about 1000 hands.
The cotton which this big new mill will
spin, at least the greater part of ii, will
be sea island staple 1t will be grown in
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida prac-
tically the whole crop being within a few
hundred miles of the city of Savannah;
and the bulk of the crop will be shipped
through the port of Savannah TO New
England. Is there any valid reason why
all of our sea island cotton should go away
from us as raw material, to be manu-
featured into thread in New England?
Why not make the thread here?

Correspondent Curtis remarks about

printed yesterday, should be a warning to
the News and Courier against its fatal
propensity for perpetrating jokes which
cannot be understood by anybody outside
temporary has been joking about Savan-
nah so much that the innocent and I'M
Travelled citizens of Charleston really think
that this city is a small and dilapidated
village, and that the Savannah river is a
sort of Wappoo Cut And it is pretty
much the same with respect to the la
dies of Charleston" having fed the Sew
enth Army Corps on Thanksgiving day Of
that Joke" so often that the people OF
Charleston are actually coming to believe
that they did set up the turkey for Lees
soldiers and their bosoms swell with pa
when the subject is referred TO. The print
ing of a lot of old portrait cuts and la
beling them with the names of members
of the Gridiron Club of Washington was
another instance of the characteristic, un-
fathomable humor Of the News and Cour-
Ter Notwithstanding the answer to the
picture joke was printed on the first page
the following day, even the native Charles
tonians, who are Injured to that sort Of
humor have been unable to see the point.

zens TO the fact that | hesitated long
and considered the matter most care
fully before / consented TO do so. aud
only the solicitations of men well

opposing factions. and the belief that a
large majority of the Democrats of the
district think East Carroll entitled to
one of the district offices, caused me to
pursue this course.
fully realize the dignity and re-
sponsibilities of the position, and am
determined, if elected, TO do all in my
power to execute the important duties

There was no use in stuffine the
ballot boxes in Madison on Monday.
There was only one candidate before
the voters, aud why the friends OF
HoE. w S. Holmes did such thing
as this, we cannot understand, ex-
cept it was to show to East Carroll
that he had received a majority of
the votes in his home parish and
was their choice for the judgeship.
He failed to receive majority by q
good many votes, but his friends
didn't fail to put in few votes so
as TO boost him up. What a farce
to do such thing.

Major Armon Roman has been
elected member OF the Sugar Plant
er's Republican State Central Conn
mittee in place Of the late Capt. j..
b. Donnally, well known as pop
ular man in East Carroll. In ac-
cep,iug the place Mr.. Roman said
that IF he should speak his mind in
full he would grow. revolutionary,
and that the Republicans did not in
tend that the history of 1895 should
repeat itself in 1900. Force would
be met by force, il necessary Mr..
r. must have been talking through
his hat. He can grow revolutionary
il he wants to--ihat's allsthe good it
will do him-the Democratic party
will win as sure as his name is Ro-

Congressman Ransdell Working for
Locks and Dams.

The following telegram from Mon
roe to the Vicksburg Herald shows that
our Congressman, Hon. Jos. E. Rams
dell. is keeping his promise with the
people of the western parishes in regard
to the improvement of the Ouachita
river. which we publish for the benefit
of his friends here at home:
Monroe, Jan. 25.-A telegram from
Washington states that Congressman
Joseph Z. Ransdell has introduced
bill making an appropriation for locks
aud dams IN the OuachIta river from
its mouth TO Camden Ark. That looks
something like business. even if the
bill does not pass at the present session
and there is little or no likelihood of it
dong so. All The same it is a step in
the right direction and shows that Mr..
Ransdelr was in earnest when he told
the people ia this end of the fifth dis
trict that he would do every thing in
his power to secure all the year round
navigation in the Ouachita. For ears
there has been little else than talk.
though Major Willard did his best to
spur the people to action. Petitions
and meetings are all right, but what is
needed Is an active congressman,
man who is not afraid to give his time
and attention to the matter. While we
had excellent congressman from the
district heretofore. they somehow failed
to see the great Importance of this
work.
This Congressional District will find
in Hon. Jos. E. Ransdell an indie
fatigable worker, aud one who never
gives up. The district will find that
he is the right man in the right place.
