The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-03-22

H. ". Boynton, the famous Washing
ton correspondent of leading newspa-
pers. who is president of the School
Board of the District of Columbia, has
examined over dozen prominent
school and student histories of the
United States, and pointed out almost
numberless errors. One of these his
tories strange to say, is by the pro-
lessor of history in Harvard Univer-
sity, while another is by the distin-
guished writer Col. Thos w. Higgin-
SON In view of these facts feel quite
undisturbed by an occasional attempt
to correct my supposed errors in these
letters, only one in fifty such attempts
being well grounded and successful to
any marked degree.
1t is possible that Eleanor Lejing-
ton" who had a syndicate article in
last Sundays Morning News, entitled,
"A Corner in Ancestors" may be an
honest, well-meaning person, but her
knowledge of the Jones family is not
only very limited, but equally faulty
The idea of putting John Paul Jones"
forward as lone of the most interest
ing members of the family of Jones
is simply ridiculous. He was not
Jones by birth or marriage, but by a
very late adoption. His name was
called Paul Jones, and following De
Lancey Floyd-Jones' example, he
would be Paul-Jones. His name has
been tinkered at both ends, first by
adding Jones and, secondly, by taking
off John. Now, why did not this
writer include Maj. Gen. Arnold Ely,
c. S. A., a West Pointer and an old
regular army officer who surrendered
the Augusta (Ga.) arsenal to the Con-
federates? Unlike John Paul, of the
navy, who donned the name of Jones,
he DOTTED 1t and Arnold r. Jones be-
came Arnold Ely.
But am after bigger game" than
any single hero-however famous on
land or sea. When this syndicate
writer says. mot many [of the Jones
family have been in active service in
time OF war" she utters a base SLAM

The chief purpose of these letters is
to correct errors. In the "Welch Rare
bit" business the first thing to do is to
catch your rabbit. Now. in correcting
errors you must first detect" the err
ror to be corrected. No man can do
this simply by encyclopedias, scrap
books, army registers. etc. He can,
however, refer to such things to see
if he has really detected an error. When
/ see a statement in a newspaper that
contains an error I must detect that
error by my general knowledge of
facts, and that general knowledge must
be in my own head and not in other
peoples books. Careless writing, as edi-
tors Watterson and Munsay have de-
clared recently, is the growing evil of
the day, and is not confined to news
papers and magazines, but can be
found in our so-called histories. There
is not a history OF Georgia In print that
is not full of errors. especially those
of recent years. II is a prepOsterous
idea, and yet IL prevails, that a man
can dash" off a page OF history as
he would newspaper item.
Complaints against Northern writer's
Of histories dealing with the Civil War
do not all come from Southern critics.
Nor do Northern critics alone complain

FRISCO RAILWAY
MAKES new RATE
Freight Rate on Sugar Is Re-
duced to 32Cents.
PER HUNDRED POUNDS
Consumers Will Get Benefit of
Reduction.


After making one material cut in the
freight rate on sugar from New Orleans
to Wichita, the Frisco has again granted
decrease on that commodity. Where
the rate from New Orleans to Wichita
was IS cents per hundred pounds, it is
now but q cents. The change, as may
be seen, is a Scent reduction to the ad-
vantage Of Wichita 5obbers and whole
salers.
The new stand taken by the Frisco
regarding the rate or sugar has been
the means of securing the same reduction
from other roads. and with but one ex-
ception,. all other companies have pub
lished the same rate, effective at once.
ut is only a matter of short time when
all roads doing business in Wichita will
make the same rate said railroad
man yesterday, IF they have not already
done So"
yes, II certainly looks as If the Frisco
railway means to do something for Wich-
ita," said j. II. Black of the Wichita
Wholesale Grocery firm. THAT company
was instrumental in securing a reduced
rate some time ago and il has again
made change for the better While
the reduction is not large, rate OF
cents per 100 pounds is not to be de-
spised.p
1T further MEANS said Mr.. Black,
that the wholesalers are enabled to sell
the commodity just that much cheaper to
their trade, and the consumer gets the
benefit. 1t also enables the local whole
saler 10 reach out just little further in
the sale of the product.
T. H. Griffith of the Griffith Commits
sion company, said: 1T is quite a good
thing, to say the least The Frisco
railway certainly seems disposed to do
the right thing by Wichita. although the
reduction is no doubt made 10 protect
its own interests. There has been a
from New York to other points and a re-
duction to Wichita was made necessary
by reason of the reduction of other
roads,
Other jobbers and wholesalers seem we'll
pleased at the stand taken by the Frisco
in reducing the rate on sugar and there
is, Of course. no means by which an out
slider is enabled to know whether The rate
now effective will remain the same. AS
an assurance that it will, all point to
reduction made some time ago by the
Frisco on the same commodity and DO
not hesitate TO say that they are of the
opinion that the new rate has been per-
manently established
