The report that the Teche is to
be turned over to navigation as
fully as in the day of yore, with
further improved railway facili-
ties, and the tide of sturdy immi-

velopment for the parish of St.
Mary, the lands Of which are the
most fertile Of any section in the
State for the cultivation OF sugar,
rice, cotton and other staple pro-
ducts Truck farming and cattl-
raising could also be made highly
profitable in this section, with the
markets of the great cities placed
at our doors by the best of rail
and water communication.

an average of 1870 pounds of sugar

all with one and the same breath.
Many physicians in the treatment of
nervous diseases command their pa
tients to avoid them all; for thew
know that it is the use of these ar
ticles that prevents a cure, and their
avoidence which is the means OF a
final cure. Therefore. as 1 have said,
it is UP to the teachers to instil into
the minds of the coming generations
the evil of indulging in any of the
above stimulants, not from moral
standpoint entirely, but from a ply
steal one. Many people have more
regard for their health than for their
morals, but with Virile health, good
morals will come as certainly as day
will follow night.
l notice that your Board of Educa-
ton are still pinning their faith to the
barbarous and uncivilzed custom of
vaccination as a preventive of small
pox. This disease, with scarlet fever,
Giphtheria, typhoid fever. yellow fever
etc, is essentially a filth disease: yet
the latter has been banished entirely
from our seaboard section by SANTA
ton and proper drainage. The others
can be gotten rid of just as easily
by applying the same rules in another
way Does it not sound like an alb
surdity in these days of modern an

APPLYING THE SALT TEST.

Quitman, Ga, Oct. 16.-The town
authorities under the direction of a
representative of the state geologist,
are making the salt test on the drain
age we'll sunk last summer for the
purpose of draining a pond in the
southern part of the town. A saturat-
ed solution of salt will be let into the
we'll at the rate OF three gallons per
minute for seven days and nights with
out intermission. several tons of salt
being used. From time to time sam
pies of water win be taken from the
other wells tapping a water hearing
stratum over hundred feet deeper in
the ground and an analysis will be
made to ascertain whether salt can be
detected in these. If salt cannot be
found an electrical test will be made,
which is still more delicate.
These steps are being taken with
the intention of putting in a sewer
system by sinking wells to this open
stratum 10 feet in the low places and
putting in sewers running to them and
following the confguration of the sur
face. If the system is put in and
operated successfully it will mean
much to the towns in this section of
the state, enabling them to have sew
erage systems at about one quarter of
the cost of those under the old sys-
tenn.

MEETINGS OF SYNOD

VIII Be Held During First Weeks
of the Coming Month.
The Presbytery of the Savannah Dis
trict meets in st. Marys Nov. 8. and
on Nov. 10 the Synod begins it's ses-
sions at Brunswick. These two events
are at present occupying the atten-
ton of the Presbyterian churches in
Savannah. DR.. j. Y. Fair, pastor OF
the Independent Presbyterian Church
is moderator of the Synod.
Only routine matters are to come
before the fall session of the Pres
bytery. Reports of all the churches
will be made. and several matters of
church discipline will be acted upon.
The Presbytery is made up of the
pastors of the churches in the district
and one lay delegate from each church
Immediately after the adjournment OF
the Presbytery the members will pro-
coed to Brunswick to attend the ses-
sions of the Synod. The opening ser
mon on Tuesday night, Nov. 10, will be
preached by Rev. DR.. Fair. Several
matters of Importance are to come be-
fore this body, MANY of them Ques-
lions that are of interest. not only to
Presbyterians, but to the public.
One of the most important of these
Is the determining what action Will
be taken toward the establishing OF
a Southern Presbyterian University
The matter has been under considera-
ton for some time, and has been en-
Enthusiastically received in many places.
Large amounts have already been
pledged to the movement by the At
lanta churches and If the Synod de-
cides to push the matter forward to
a successful elimination, the other
Presbyterian churches of the state will
fall in line.
1t is probable that the Synod will
act favorably toward the establish
ment of the university, an institution
which will be one of the largest, if not
the largest, in the entire South. Plans
will be mapped out at once for launch
ing the real work and active steps TAX
en- toward realizing the object for
which a united effort will be made by
the Georgia Presbyterian churches.

heaviest lighting and greatest success
fell to Hamilton.
After this battle Gen. Hamilton had
the misfortune to break his collar
bone, and for a time the command of
his division passed to Gen. Archie
Hunter.
On resuming his command he con-
tinued to be one of the most active
ana successful of the generals and
very largely contributed to the nna1
victory of the British.
For his gallantry and efficiency Mai.
Gen. Hamilton was created a Knight

commander-in-chief of the British
army, and is at present spending a
brief furlough on a visit to America.

Continued from Twelfth Page

Copies of the statistics will also be
sent to the business men of all classes
In these states. With the copies will
be sent a personal letter asking that
the merchants write the congressman
from their district urging their aid in
support OF the movement. From this
source alone it is believed that consid-
cradle influence can be obtained.
Congressman VIII Be Invited.
1t is proba BILE that some definite ar
rangements will also be made regarding
the date on which the congressman
from neighboring states will be invited
to Savannah. This will not be done UNI
til the statistics compiled by Secretary
Donlan of the Chamber of Commerce,
relative to the export business of Sa-
vannah, have been issued in pamphlet
form. These pamphlets will be given
to the distinguished visitors for refer
ence uses at any time
Steps for advertising the project at
the fair will also probably be taken.
A number of prominent officials of
Georgia, and from other states as well,
Will in all probability attend the fair,
and the opportunity of presenting the
matter to them will not be allowed to
slip. The aid of all visitors will also
be asked. The fair offers one of the
best means of bringing the matter be-
fore the public, and some plan will be
devised for taking advantage of it.
All of the other plans that have been
offered will be incorporated and put
into use in the general campaign plans.
The matter of writing personal letters
to congressman will be encouraged.
Merchants and business men who have
friends in other states will be asked to
write them and request that they do
what they can, through their congress-
meI to further the movement. In this
way a wide influence can be gained,
and the chances of ultimate success will
be more than doubled.
Practically all the necessary data for
carrying on the campaign is now in
the hands of the committed. The cost
of construction and maintenance has
been computed by Col Quinn. Secre-
tary Donlan of the Chamber of Com
merce has nearly all the data. regarding
the export and import business of the
year, and the percentage increase over
that of previous years. These two sets
of figures are practically all that Will
be necessary in bringing the matter be-
fore Congress.
