THE GAINESVILLE SUFFERERS.

Our dispatches show that the number
of deaths in the Gainesville disaster is
about n and the number injured $50.
The value or the property destroyed
amounts to several hundred thousand
dollars. The value of the property,
however, is not of so much con-
sequence as the character of 1t. Most
of the dwellings that went down under
the force of the wind were occupied
by mill operatives, and consequently
these poor people are now practically
homeless. And the mills have been
badly injured-so badly that it will
take many weeks. perhaps months, to
put them in thorough repair. There
fore the homeless operatives are with
out the means of earning a living. 1t
is for this reason and because that they
are in a destitute condition that an APP
peal for aid has been made. &.
There is no doubt of course that a
generous response will be made to the
appeal. Not only the cities, but the
small towns and villages will assist in
aiding the sufferers in meeting the ex=
traordinary demands upon them, in
burying the dead and caring for the
injured, and in tiding over the period
in which no wages will be earned. Here
in Savannah steps were taken yester-
day by the Mayor and citizens to collect
a relief fund, and a very considerable
amount was raised. Savannah's re-
Spouse to the call for help will no doubt
be in keeping with her responses to
similar calls in the past. 1t will be
generous.
The disaster was one that startled
and shocked the entire state, and the
sufferings and needs of the afflicted
community arouse the sympathies of
every one. The storm came suddenly
and unexpectedly, carrying destruction
and death in it's path. The people of
Georgia will see to it that relief is ex-
tended to those who are destitute and
suffering and that help is extended to
those who will need it until they are
in a position to provide for themselves:
The Savannah morning news., 1903-06-03
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Business will be suspended through
out Georgia to-day and the people will
pay a tribute of respect to the memory
of one of the South's greatest SONS
Jefferson Davis. AS the leader of a
lost cause, Mr.. Davis has suffered criti-
cism both at home and abroad. Had
he succeeded his name would have gone
into history as that of one Of the great
est political liberators of the world.
But he failed, and his failure has, up
to the present, cost him his proper place
in history. Success is the standard by
which men and measures are too often
gagged, especially by contemporary
writer's. But, as Mr.. Davis recedes
into the past, as passions die out and
disappointments are tempered by time,
his character becomes better under
stood and appreciated. Even his for
mer foes are compelled to acknowledge
the bigness of the man. No truer pa
triot ever breathed He loved his coun-
try with that devotion which makes
heroes for ones country's sake. Firm
ly convinced of the righteousness Of
the cause of his people, he was un-
swerving and untiring in his purpose
to achieve the success of that cause.
No sacrifices were too great for him
to make, no labor too arduous for him
to undertake. And the people loved
and honored him for his falthfulness
and courage. To them he was the en-
bodiment of the Confederacy. He sum-
med up in his person their hopes and
aspirations. Jefferson Davis and the
Confederate States of America were
practically synonymous terms. And
they were true to each other. When
the Confederacy died physically, Mr.
Davis died politically. He became a
man without country. His allegi-
ance was to his ideal republic, which
had passed and was no more, and he
declined to transfer it to the conqueror.
He has now been dead fourteen years,
but his memory is as green to-day in
the hearts of his veterans and their
descendants as il was the day he was
borne tenderly to his last resting-place
and the South put on sackcloth and
ashes, and it will continue to be so
while veneration of the sacred past re-
mains in Southern bosoms.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-06-03
A LITTLE WORK NEEDED.

1t is evident from the statement that
appeared in the Morning News yester-
day that if the big dredge Cumberland
is secured for Savannah harbor a good
deal of influence will have to be
brought to bear upon the War Depart
ment. We have no doubt of course that
the department would be as willing
that Savannah should have the dredge
as for any other port to have it, but
it seems there are several places that
want it, and the one that has the most
influence or makes the grea test effort
will get it. That is what we infer from
the statement attributed to the captain
of the Cumberland.
We assume, of course, that the
Chamber of Commerce will take the
matter up at once and do what it can
in the direction of having the dredge
assigned to our harbor. Our represen-
tative and our senator's will no doubt
do their utmost for Savannah, but
they may need assistance. If we I'M
derstand what the dredge is capable
of doing it would not take 1t very long
to cut down the outer bar several feet.
OF course, we should want it under
stood that the Cumberland was not to
take the place of the dredge that is to
be built expressly for Savannah har-
Dor. What is desired is that the Cum
berland shall be assigned to Savan-
nah until the dredge for Savannah is
constructed. 1t will take a year prob
ably to build the Savannah dredge.
The plans have been made, but no
work has been done upon it.
While 1t is true that our har-
Dor is in a pretty fair condition it
isn't near what it should be, and what
it will be when the present plan is
completed. We do not understand why
there has been so much delay in the
construction Of the dredge which Sa-
vannah is to have. Probably there is
a good reason. But while waiting for
that dredge it would be greatly to Sa-
vannahs benefit If the Cumberland
could be obtained for work on the har-
Dor. Every foot of water we get on the
bar and in the harbor means a big
addition to the ports commerce.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Republicans are afraid of the
Democratic party. The Philadelphia
Press (Rep) says: Bryan declares
he is going to give up the Democratic
leadership. We hope, however, he will
persevere in his patriotic work of keep
ing men out of the Democratic party.
1t is large enough now for the good
of the country"
The Charleston Post (Dem) says:
ION the same day that Mr.. Bryan an
nounced that he wasn't trying to hold
the leadership of the Democratic
party, the flood poured into the base
ment of The Commoner. SO the col
onel took water and the water took
the colonel simultaneously. But there
was nothing serious on either side and
we shall see the colonel dry and hot
