The sun did, after all, come out and
shine in time to give the visiting Bap-
lists view of how pretty and charm
ing Savannah is in spring time. Sloppy
weather with driving rain and chill
ing wind, is well calculated to give
one poor impression of a place. no
matter how delightful it may be under
ordinary conditions. There is one
thing, by the way, that we are sure
must have struck our visitors, in con-
nection with the weather, as being
notable and gratifying, and that is the
rapidity with which the slop and mois-
ture disappeared after the rain ceased.
In the red-clay section conditions under
foot would have been distressingly bad
for several days after such a spell
OF weather as that which began Fri
day and lasted until Sunday night; but
at noon yesterday Savannah was as
clean and dry and wholesome as a
thrifty housewives company room the
day after scrubbing. Indeed. so
dry were some of the streets that the
brisk winds occasionally raised little
fiurries of dust. just as if there had
been no rain for month. That is the
advantage of excellent drainage and a
porous soil.

SPECULATION IN COTTON,

Doubtless cotton planters are wishing
they had held on to their cotton instead
of selling 1t at the beginning of the
season. Yesterday in this market mid
ding was quoted at ten and five
eighths cents per pound, and it looks as
if the price would go to eleven cents
before the upward movement of prices
stops The future market is very
excited, and prices for the active
months are advancing at a remarka-
bic rate. One report is that the leading
bun operator in New Orleans, Brown,
has made as much as SO, 900. 900 for the
syndicate for which he is OPERATING
and that the leading bull operator in
New York, Sully, has made $4,000, 900
for himself and friends. How much
reliance there is 10 be placed upon
these figures it is of course impossible
to say, but there is no doubt that on
paper they have enormous winnings.
"A curious feature of the situation is
the difference between the future mar
ket In New York and New Orleans
For July it Is one cent higher at New
Orleans, being eleven and sixty-four
hundredth cents, while in New York it
is only ten and sixty-four hundredths
This wide difference shows how wild
the speculation in cotton just now is.
But the planters have not much rea-
son to regret having parted with their
cotton.
Take one year with another il is
probable that the planter who sells his
cotton when he has it ready for mar
ket does about as well as the one who
holds it for higher price. If any one
will consult a record of prices for a
score of years or more he
will find this statement about correct.
The present prices indicate that prices
at the beginning of the new season will
be such as to make planters glad. Mid
ding will hardly sell below eight cents
pound and may command nine cents
Indeed, the price may be considerably
higher than nine cents. If the season
should be favorable the cotton planters
will have a very prosperous year.

Don't Sleep in Church.

A Roxborough man, says a Down
East paper, rode on the train the other
day behind two little school girls, one
of them Methodist and the other an
Episcopalian. They appeared to be
much interested IN church work, for
their conversation concerned nothing
but guilds, sewing circles, mite socite-
ties and aid clubs. They also appeared
to regard each others churches ieal-
ously. If ones mite society had 20
members the others was sure to have
55, and so on. The Methodist little girl
said finally to the Episcopalian: "We
are holding our midwinter revival now.
There has been a great awakening" :"
The other retorted; "We don't need
awakenings in our church. We never
go to sleep"

A Desperate Chance.

In connection with the engagement
of Theodore Kremers latest play, "a
Desperate Chance" in four acts,
founded on the notorious Biddle
brothers case to be seen here March
I'd. 1t is hardly necessary to more
than announce its production, as the
story of the play has attracted wide
reputation. The first act opens with
the murder of the Pittsburg grocer by
the Biddle boys, their sentence and
conviction. The second act shows
the boys in jail, where they use their
| hypnotic power over the warden's
wife, their sensational escape from jail,
their thrilling fight in the snow with
the detectives, their capture and finally
their pathetic death in the Butler
county Jail. Mr.. Kremer considers
this his greatest effort, which is say
ing a great deal, when one considers
his recent successes, sThe Fatal We'd
ding" 'The Road to Ruin" and
others too numerous to mention.
While the play abounds with many
thrilling situations, the author has not
forgotten to put plenty of heart inter
est in the piece. The child's love for
the mother, who has unintentionally
sinned, will send many away with
tear, dimmed eyes. The comedy situa-
tions are also very strong.
a big scenic production is promised,
with many new and startling mechani-
cal effects, and with cast of unusual
excellence, a performance is promised
to satisfy the most exacting critic.
Prices for this big production, gallery
% cents. Down stairs, 80, so, and 75c
Seats on sale at Lloyd's, in advance.

To Our HOrSemen.

We always like to see a horseman
drive up to hitching post these winter
days, jump out of the rig, unfold big,
warm blanket and cover his faithful
horse. There is a big heart in that
man. He is thinking of something else
besides himself, and he takes as much
pleasure in caring for his horse's COM
fort as for himself. On the other hand
it makes us sad to see a great big man,
warmly clad from head to foot, drive a
steaming horse up to the rack, hastily
tie him fast, leave him shivering, and
make for the nearest hot stove. There
is something wrong about that fellow.

good care and attention during his ill
ness and demise. He was about sixty
years of age. The funeral was held
from the Nolan residence yesterday
afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. Dudley
being in attendance. The remains

Popular rIan Promoted.

At a recent meeting of the United
States Leather Co, held in New York,
Mr.. L. \. Flynn of Allegany, N. Y,
we'll known i'll Emporium, has been
promoted to general superintendency
by that company. The position is a
very responsible one and requires a
man of extraordinary tact and ability.
These qualities Mr.. Flynn possesses.
He is man of deep thought, conserva-
tive in manner, energetic and loyal.
He takes the deepest interest in his
work and strives most faithfully to pro
mote the interests of the company. Be-
sides, he has a very extensive know
ledge of the tannery business and is
one of the most successful tanners in
the business to-day.

Prof. Suhrie Winning LaureIs.

We notice by Pittsburg paper of re-
cent date that Prof a. Leo l.. Suhrie is
winning merited notice at recitals and
educational meetings in the Smokey
City. In literary recital given by
Byron w. Kingin Carnegie Music Hall
last week Prof. Suhrie was the leading
performer in a most difficult program.
The papers were loud in praise of the
excelency of his work and predict a
brilliant future for Prof. Suhrie. We
understand that he will deliver several
addresses before an educational meet
ing to be held at Dubois February 20
and 21. His time is well taken up in
giving instruction before different
teachers meetings in the western part
of the state.-St Marys Gazette.

Close Gall.

Last Friday morning a terrible ex-

that completely wrecked the cooking
range aud caused sad havoc to every
thing III UlIe N4vGnen. Mrs LeeU nad
lighted the kitchen fire and proceeded
to prepare breakfast when the explo-
sion took place, blowing the stove into
q thousand pieces and sitting fire to
the floor. The s.rangest thing about the
whole affair is that Mrs. Leet escaped
injury, although standing near the
tove, yet the shock completely pos
trated that excellent lady, who was
Immediately confined to her bed. The
cause of the explosion was due to the
freezing of the hot water pipes and
water front of the stove-the gas hav-
ing been so low that it was shut off
the previous night. At this writing
Mrs. Leet has recovered from the
shock.

Another Appeal.

Daniel Britton called at this Office on
Tuesday and informed us that he had
been sick in bed about two weeks,
most of the time with anybody to care
for him. He thinks he has been sorely
neglected and appeals to the authori,
ties to try and alleviate his suffering.
Mr. Britton is in very bad condition
and we think the authorities should
take the case in hand and if any thing
can be done, to relieve the man of his
suffering, do it at once.

Frail Titles to Valuable Lands,

Major Isaac B. Brown, Deputy Sec
retary of Internal Affairs, in his report
for the past year which has just been
sent to the printer, asserts that
the removal of his department to the
old shoe factory was very dangerous
proceeding 80 far as regards the valu-
able State documents stored in the de-
partment, because the shoes building is
surrounded by inflammable structures.
Regarding the business of the de.
partment, Major Brown says that there
are thousands of land warrants that
have been granted in former years up
on which no returns or SURVEYS have
been made, and probably in many cases
valuable properties are held by very
frail titles. He thinks these surveys
should be made at once in order to per-
that the act of 1897 to collect the
amounts due upon unpatented lands be
repealed, as it is almost impossible to
ascertain where these lands are located.
| The department has made fair progress
in the copying OF surveys, work that
should have been completed years ago
for the mutilation and decay of these
ancient records has been going on for
SO many years that in many cases the
data contained in them cannot be
reproduced. This is all the more neces-
sary when it is remembered that the
records are now stored Ia yhe building
which is a little better than "a fire
trap" according to the report.

Fatal Accident,

James P. Gum, aged about IS,

distance of seventy feet, death re-
sulting almost instantly. DR.. A W.
Baker, Coroner, was summoned to view
the remains. No blame is attached
to the company, the death of the
gentleman being unexplained unless
it was purely tnoughless carelessness
on the part of the unfortunate man.
Supt Chas. Roy, who has known.
intimately, for many years, Mr.. Gunr
speaks Of him rs verv careful
and experienced man in that line of
his death. His remains will be shipped
to Georgia as soon as Mr.. Brady can
hear from his friends, who have been
