Desirable Purchase.

1t will be pleasant news to our citi-
zens to learn that the property on
Sixth street owned by the Sinnama-
honing Iron Company upon which has
stood large house, partly completed,
has been sold and will be completed,
according to the elaborate plans pre-
pared by the late Jos. Hunt, who was
general manager when the Cameron
Iron and Coal Company failed. Mr..
VIII. Cramer has closed a contract for
the property and expects to have it
completed by next spring, ready for
occupancy. This incomplete building
has long been an "eye-sore" to our
people, who will be pleased to see the
handsome building completed.

A Smallpox Remedy.

A correspondent of the Stockton
(Cal.) Herald writes as follows: 81
herewith append a recipe which has
been used to my knowledge in hundreds
of cases. 1t will prevent or cure the
smallpox though the pittings are filling.
When Jenner discovered cowpox in
England the world ofscience hurled an
avalanche of fame upon his head, but
when the most scientific school of medi-
cine in the world, that of Paris, publish
ed this recipe as panacea for smallpox
it passed unheeded. 1t is as unfailing
as fate and conquers in every instance.
1t is harmless when taken by well
person. 1t will also cure scarlet fever.
Here is the recipe as l have used it and
cured my children ofscarlet fever, here
it is as have used it to cure smallpox
when learned physicians said the patti
ent must die: Sulphate of zinc, one
grain; foxgove (digitalis), one grain;
half teaGpoonful of sugar; mix with
two tablespoonfuls of water. When
thoroughly mixed add four ounces of
water Take spoonful every hour
Either Disease will disappear in twelve
hours. For a child smaller doses, ac-
cording to age If counties would
compel their physicians to use this
there would be no need of pest houses
If you value advice and science use this
for that terrible disease

UOOd Citizenship.

Assuming, tnen, tnaG goou cltlzensnip
necessarily implies service of some sort
to the State, the country, or the public,
it must be understood of course, that
such service may vary widely in amount
or in degree. The man or woman who
have family of children, educate them,
bring them up honorably and well,
teaching them to love their country,
are good citizens, and deserve we'll of
the Republic. The man who, in order
to care for his family and give his child
rem fair start in life, labors honestly
and diligently at his trade, profession
or business, and who casts his vote at
all elections, adds to the strength as
well as to the material prosperity of the
country, and thus fulfills some of the
primary and most important duties of
good citizenship. Indeed, it may be
said, in passing, that he who labors in
any way, who has any intellectual in
terest, who employs his leisure for any
public enc, even the man who works
purely for selfish objects, has one great
element of good citizenship to his
credit for there is nobody else 80 detri-
mental in country like ours as the
mere idler, the mere seeker for self
amusement, who passes his time in con-
sUant uncertainty as to how he shall get
rid of the next day or the hour of that
brief life which however short in some
cases is, from every point of view, too
long for him.
Rearing family, casting a vote,
leading a decent life and working
honestly for livelihood are, however,
primary and simple qualities in merit
oriours citizenship. They are the
foundation stones, no doubt, but good
citizenship, in its true sense, rise much
higher, and demands much moro than
these Here, again, it becomes neces-
sary to define ones meaning and get
rid of generalities. All men who do
good work have ideals at which they
aim, dreams of what they hope to ac-
complish, and all, especially those who
succeed most fully, fall far short oftheir
ideals, for self-satisfaction usually halts
the advance, and puts an end to achieve
ment. But to come short Of ones ideals
is not defeat. "Not failure, but low
aim, is crime" The ideal cannot be
set too high, and then any progress to-
ward it is victory, and the life-work
is not barren of results. This is as true
of citizenship as ofany other great field
of human effort. The ideal cannot be
set too high, provided it is compassed
by common sense and clear reason and
does not topple over into eccenUricity.
But in order to possess, and ideal which
must be at once sane and lofty, it is es-
sential to have standard, and that
standard, must be clear and sharply de-
fined, not misty or confused. For ex-
ample, if we wish to teach our children
THAI loyalty to the Nation and to the
States is a fundamental quality of any
American citizenship worthy to be call
ed good, we must not set up a monu-
ment to a man, no matter how eminent,
who won all his fame in an unsuccess-
ful effort to wreck liberty. y.-Success.

were sent to the Organized Charities for
the night.

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-07-03

New Orleans, July 2.-Liverpool adj
vices were better than looked for, con-
sequently our market opened 2@4
points higher and improved sos addi-
tional later, owing to shorts covering
on the map indicating clear weather
throughout the belt, and fears that
the bureau tomorrow might be more
unfaVorable than expected. Near the
close values became slightly easier,
making the net gain 4@6 points on the
day. The amount brought into sight
during June was 10000 bales, against
5000 last year and 900 year be-
fore last, aggregating from Sept l TO
date 10021, 900 bales, against 9,971, 900
last year and S,947, 900 year before last,
indicating on the face of the returns
a crop of 10, 433, 900 bales, if compared
with last year, and a crop of 1880
600, il compared with year before last.
The general average condition of the
bureau last month was 95.1 per cent.
The trade generally anticipate that
tomorrow it will range from 81 to SO
per cent, or, in other words, show a
loss of SOS points. 1t must be re-
membered that the bureaus figures
will be compiled on the condition ex-
listing to June %, and, therefore, due
allowance must be made for the good
rains which took place in Texas, Ar
kansas, Tennessee and Northern Lou
isiana subsequently. If the bureau is
81 or under, the market should adj
vance, but if it is SO or over, it will
probably decline.

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, July 2.-The early cotton
market was 2 to points higher, but
there was very little doing. Weather
in the cotton belt was clear everywhere
with the mercury quite high at a num-
Der of stations. Sentiment was rather
mixed on account of Unexpectedly poor
features as to the crop reported by yes
terdays weekly government report.
But inasmuch as the monthly crop re-
port is due from Washington both
sides were extremely cautious. The
fact that Texas rains have been pref
ty general removes all inducement for
bull speculations at the moment, but
it is recalled that torrential rains in
that state in previous years have been
followed by the poorest crops, hence it
Would not be well to calculate on Texas
making bumper crop this season. 1t
is commended that the short interest is
very heavy, no little of it in the South
and that this in a degree accounts for
the absence of any such unfaVorable
crop accounts as were revealed by yes
terday's report from Washington.
Special attention is now being paid to
Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana
crop developments. Galveston re-
ported new bale to-day Shorts were
covering in the far months. Texas
dispatches were conflicting, some re-
porting abundant rains and others a
deficiency. The market was of a holi-
day character most of the day. Bureau
tomorrow is expected to be round So.
