The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-07-11

In our dispatches from Washington
yesterday Col McKensie, of the Corps
of Engineers in charge of the river
and harbor division. expressed the
opinion that work on the new improve
ment to give Savannah a 2S-foot
channel from the city to the sea would
be begun at an early day. He said,
however, that every place that had
an appropriation for river and harbor
improvement, insisted upon the work
being begun Immediately.
1t seems to us that the most inn
portant harbors should receive atten-
ton first. There is of course no ques-
ton that Savannah is one of the most
important II is the most important
on the South Atlantic coast, and its
Importance is increasing all the time,
1t is probable, however, that it will
take considerable time to get ready
to begin the proposed improvement. In
the meantime work of cutting down
shoals that may have formed should
be prosecuted vigorously. 1t is of the
utmost importance that the harbsor
should accommodate the largest class
of steamers of the tramp class. The
cargoes that are being carried out
now are of the heaviest kind. and
every inch of water the harbor car
be made to afford, is needed.
A few days ago a steamer drawing
close to % feet had some trouble in
a section of the river where there
has been a little shoalng since the
harbor received attention at that point
The cotton season will soon open, and
it is probable that steamers drawing
fully 25 feet of water will be char
tered for the cotton cargoes from this
port. We cannot afford to have any
delay in the arrival and departure OF
steamers. 1t is therefore hoped that
pending preparations for the 2S foot
project the dredge will be put to work
whenever there has been shoaling
When that project is completed Sa-
vannah will have one of the best har-
bors in the country Indeed, it is
doubtful if there will be any better
except that of New York.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-07-11

A story comes to illustrate the hard
headedness and sheer common-sense
of the late DIR. McCosh, says the Phil
adelphia Times. He made the ac-
quaintance of a couple of Scotsmen
who worked as farmhands on an es-
tate near Princeton. and, learning that
they did not go 10 church. hauled them
over the Goals for backsliding and in
duced them to attend Sunday services
regularly. They were simple minded
men. with immense respect for the
venerable instructor; and they inva-
riably ran to him to settle disputes or
to advise them in matters of business.
One morning they appeared before
him as ne was going into chapel, and,
telling him they had had quarrel as
to the sign of hearing the first cuckoo
of the season. Jamie had said it was
a sign that the one who heard it would
speedily marry; Sandy declared it was
a sign that the nearer should get
speedily rich
IT'S a sure sign of somethin'. Doc
tor. What may it be? Can We tell us?"
Yes" said the doctor. ITO hear the
first cuckoo of the season is a sure
sign you're not deaf"
And he solemnly turned on his heel
and left them staring after him.
