FORGING AHEAD.

Savannah's importance as a CONNER
ciaI city is steadily increasing. Yes
tefday we called attention to the fact
that the main house of large plumb
ers' supply company was to be moved
here from Charlotte, N. c., branch
house being here already. The reason
for this removal is said to be the adj
vantages Savannah possesses as a dis
tributing point.
1t hasn't been so very long since
plate glass concern established its
warehouse here because of these adj
vantages. A day or two ago we mem
toned that there was a certainty,
practically, that another large fertiliz-
er plant would be established here
this year. This city is getting to be
noted for the number of its fertilizer
plants. The reason no doubt is the
advantages 1t possesses as distrib
uting point.
The more Savannah is advertised the
more widely will these advantages be-
come known, and in proportion as they
become known new businesses and IN
dustries will be established here.
The Chamber of Commerce is doing
a good work in advertising the city.
1t may not be sending out advertising
circulars every day, but il is all the
time doing something that tends TO
draw attention TO the city and its adj
vantages.
There is no doubt that the coaling
station that will soon be in operation
here will help the city in many ways.
1t will keep some business here that
now goes TO Norfolk. and it will bring
some here that has heretofore gone
elsewhere, but especially will it tend
to increase Savannah's commercial inn
portance. Shipmasters will make it
known far and wide that Savannah not
only furnishes cargoes but also coal
! for the ships which carry the cargoes.
The Chamber of Commerce is making
the people who are interested in build
| ing up the city more harmonious in
| their efforts in that direction. They
are pulling together better than ever
before, and that means that Savannah
is going to show greater growth, from
now on. than at any time in her his
tory.

WILL China REMAIN NEUTRALr

The Chinese minister at St Peters
burg has been informed again. in the
most solemn manner. that China will
remain neutral in the war between
Russia and Japan. Evidently the Rus
sian government had begun to have
! doubts as to whether it was China's
| purpose to observe neutrality and,
| hence, the Chinese government sent a
! cablegram to its representative at the
Russian capital in regard to the mat
ter.
But will the Chinese government be
| able to keep it's pledge to remain neu-
trail? It is the understanding that the
people of China sympathize with the
Japanese in the war between Russia
and Japan, and it would not be sur
prising IL they should show their sym
pathy by joining the army of Japan
in large numbers.
No doubt the Chinese government is
sincere in saying that it Is its purpose
to observe neutrality, but 1t is doubt
full if it can control its citizens. The
effect of the victory of the Japanese
in the Yalu river battle is going 10 be
very great, not only upon the natives
of Manchuria, but also upon the people
of other parts of China There are
about three millions of native people
in Manchuria, and they have made but
little resistance to Russian occupation
of that province. because they thought
it would be useless-that the Russians
were invincible-but the success of the
japanese at Port Arthur and at the
Yalu river crossing convinces them
that they were mistaken, and is cal
cuIated to lead them to believe that
if the japanese are properly supported
the Russians can be driven out of
Manchuria. Let the Chinese once get
the idea firmly fixed in their minds
that the Russians are not invincible
and it is doubtful if the Chinese gov
eminent would be able to prevent its
citizens from sending the japanese
substantial assistance. Indeed, the
sympathy for the cause of japan
might become so strong that the Chin
ESQ. government would abandon its po-
sition of neutrality and become the
ally of Japan in the war.
Such. a course as that would be
productive of other complications. 1t
might cause this country and some of
the countries of Europe to become in
volved in the Russo Japanese War.
An uprising in Manchuria against
the Russians would be of very great
benefit to the japanese. 1t would in
crease the difficulties of the Russians
in getting supplies and it would help
to fill up the ranks OF the Japanese
army. The Yalu river victory there
fore may be productive OF results that
are not at this time apparent.

Boston TRANSCRIPT.
Oh, Mabel was loved by Jack
When Mabel's hair was brown:
But Mabel went and dyed her hair,
And Jack went out of town.
Then Mabel was adored by Tom
When Mabers hair was gold;
But Mabel once more dyed her locks
And Tommy's love grew cold.
Next Mabel captured Willie's heart,
Then Mabeis hair was red:
But when she sought a change of hair
Why, Willie quickly fed.
And now poor Mabels quite alone.
No men are on the scene:
For what with all those mixtures, oh,
Poor Mabels hair is green!

sauerkraut ana whisky.

"The quickest shot ever heard in
the way of repartee," said Congress
man Babcock of Wisconsin in a group
of men who were talking of the Cock
ran-Dalzell bout, according to the New
York Times, occurred when Bill
Price, who for several years was a
member of the House. was a state
senator in the Wisconsin Legislature.
Price was devoted Prohibition
list, and always made one long speech
each session on his favorite theme.
One day in the middle of one of these
speeches he was interrupted by Ger
man senator, a brewer, from up She
boygan way, named Schneider.
II want to- ask the Senator a ques-
tion,' said Schneider. 4 want to ask
him If he knows the difference be-
tween sauerkraut and whisky?'
Yes, SIR retorted Price as quick
as a fash. One makes Dutch Dem
ocratic senators, and the other kills
them
Schneider did not dare TO speak to
Price the remainder of the session.

A Japanese Fairy Tale.

A Japanese wood cutter. who had a
disfiguring wen on his right cheek,
was caught one day in a violent storm
OF rain. Having sought shelter in a
hollow tree, and being fatigued by a
long days work, he fell fast asleep.
When he awoke he found it was night,
but the darkness was illumined by
thousand tiny lamps. BY this light
the woodcutter saw, in an open space
just by his tree, number of Tengu,
or fairies, who had been INDUCING in
sake, the national drink of Japan, and
who were now in very merry mood.
Presently music struck up and dance
began; whereupon the woodcutter
rushed from his place Of concealment
and fell to dancing like mad. The
fairies laughed and cheered till the
woods re-echoed, and, when morning
dawned, they declared that he had di-
verified them exceedingly, and must
come again. And" said their leader,
an important little Tengu, las pledge
that you will pay us another visit we
take this went"
The words had scarcely been spoken
by the fairy chief when the wen fell
from the woodcutter's cheek, and it be-
came as smooth as a little child's.
Now it so happened that a neighbour
ing woodcutter, who had a huge wen
on his left cheek, was devoured by en-
Wy when he heard how his fellow labor
err had been cured Having learned che
secret he set out for the spot where
the fairies met, with a new pair of
straw sandals on his feet, fully deter
mined to show the tiny people what
dancing really meant. On reaching the
hollow tree he carefully concealed
himself, and breathlessly awaited the
course of events. In due time the
Tengu assembled and at once began
drinking sake and dancing. Then wood
cutter No. 2. thinking the right time
had come, dashed from his place of
hiding and essayed to fling a leg in
tune TO the music. But, alas! the
cheering which greeted his first APP
pearance soon died away, for he could
not dance with the agility of the friend
whom he envied. and he ended his eff
forts amid chilling silence.
The chief Tengu stepped up to the
crestfallen woodcutter and made a
satirical bow. Thank you," he said.
and as you have tried to amuse u.s.
we will pay you with this!'
And so speaking he clapped upon the
envious woodcutter's right cheek the
wen he had taken from his fellow
sufferer, and the wretched man re-
turned to his home carrying two gi-
gantic wens instead of the one with
which he had left his hut.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Charleston Post (Dem.) says
chosen a lily white delegation to rep
resent them in the Republican Ma
tional Convention. They have instruct
ed the delegates to vote for Roosevelt
as the nominee of the party. Surely
Mr.. Roosevelt will refuse to accept the
support of these people, who close the
door of hope and opportunity so sharp
ly TO the negro"
The Mobile Register Dem.) says
mfr. Hearsts vistory over Carter
Harrison in Chicago is significant of
the loss of popularity suffered by May
or Harrison in his home town. 1t has
bearing more upon Harrison's position
in the party than upon Hearst's, for
Harrison has been talked of for the
nomination of the vice presidency. If
he cannot control Chicago politics,
however, he is not likely to be con-
sidered as a political factor in the car
rying of Illinois for the Democratic
party"
The Richmond es-Dispatch
(Dem.) says: Democratic members of
Congress are all hopeful. and with the
right sort of platform and the right
sort of man the Democratic party will
so in to win and it will have a SPLEEN
did chance to win. There is every rea-
son to believe that the Solid South, in
GLIDING Maryland, will this year be
carried for the Democratic nominee,
and there is a first rate chance to
carry New York, New Jersey. Connec-
ticut and some of the doubtful West
ern States. The Democratic party I'M
doubtedly has a fine opportunity If
only it will make the most of it,
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
says: During that period of Demo
cratic power and influence in public
affairs the party was led by it's great
est men, but, impatient of such leader
ship, the time came when every sue
cessful political chief and wise states
man was repudiated and set aside, and
then came the day of little men and of
nismanagement and failure, bringing
to the party defeat on every hand and
suhjecting II to almost universal de-
rision. It is now time to realize that
great political parties cannot be car
RED to victory and power by dema-
gogues and small politicians. Great
generals are required to win great bat
ties, and little men, who are big only
in their overwhelming vanity and self
conceit. viii only lead the best soldiers

YOUR HAT
May Be a Stylish One, But 1t Makes
Trouble.

A man usually buys a hat that's in
style" but the modern hat for men has
lots to answer for.
Baldheads are growing more numer-
Gus every day. Hats make excellent
breeding places for the parasitic germs
which sap the life from the roots of
the hair.
When your hair begins to fall out
and your scalp is full of dandruff it is
a sure sign that these countless germs
are busily at work.
There is but one way to overcome
the trouble and kill the germs-that
way is to apply Newbro's Herpicide to
the scalp-it will kill the germs and
healthy hair is sure to result.

II is a matter for congratulations
that the Gober- morris contest in the
Blue Ridge Circuit has been settled by
the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, without second primary and
without sending the contest up to the
State Convention. Another primary
would have been attended by bitter
partisanship, and the fight carried to
the floor Of the convention would have
been an unpleasant incident. The find
ing of the Executive Committee will be
accepted by both sides and the breach
will be speedily healed.

The Boston Herald is authority for
the statement that the cruiser Medji-
dia, recently built in this country for
the Turkish government. cost much
less than the United States govern
ment is charged for similar craft. An
explanation OF this interesting fact, II
fact it be. may be found in the circum-
stance that Turkey was not obliged
to have warship built in this country.
If the price charged by the American
builders had been too high. Turkey
could have gone to some of the Euro
pean ship yards with her order. The
United States government does not
enjoy a similar privilege. 1t is re-
quired by law to have its ships built
at home. no matter if the cost is dou
Bile what foreign ship yard would
charge. In principle there is no diff
ference between exporting war ships
at lower price and exporting agricul-
tural implements at a lower price than
is charged at home.

fallen into disrepute. that the daugh-
tiers of the section are no longer able
to play it without the notes? If that
is the case, there needs to be a Dixie"
revival. The grizzled heads of families

the infection of its soul-swelling music

A LEvEI-HEADED DEMOCRAT.

Senator Culberson of Texas, in an
interview in Washington on Tuesday,
said it was his belief that the Demo-
cratic party was going to get together
and act with it's old-time zeal and
unity. He said if this view should
prove correct it would have an excel
lent chance of winning the presiden-
tial election. He also said he thought
Judge Parker would be the Democratic
nominee for President.
If Mr.. Culberson is for Judge Parker
1t is pretty certain that the Democrats
of Texas are for him, because Mr.. Gull
berson has the confidence of his party
in his state so fully that it is willing
to follow him as its leader.
1t hasn't been so very long since
there was a strong Populist sentiment
in Texas, but it seems to have about
that state do not now occupy much
space in the newspapers.
In common with the great majority
of the other Democratic leaders Mr..
Culberson sees the necessity for DEM
ocrats to get together if they want to
get into power where they can be of
some benefit to the country. Even Mr..
Towne, Mr.. Bryans great friend, who
was candidate for Vice President ON
the Populist ticket in 1900, says it is
his opinion that the st. Louis Conven-
ton will be a harmonious one. BY that
he means that Judge Parker will be
nominated without much trouble. He
is a good Democrat now and is a Park
er delegate from New York.
When such men as Mr.. Towne see
the necessity for abandoning the Kan
sas City platform, If party harmony is
to be secured. it seems strange that
Mr., Bryan should cling to it so tena-
ciously. All the issues which Mr..
Bryan wants reaffirmed are practically
dead issues. No doubt he sees that as
well as Mr.. Culberson and Mr.. Towne
do. Why, then, does he persist in the
course he is pursuing? The only an
swer, as far as we can see, is that he
wants to punish those who didn't give
him much assistance in his campaigns
in 1896 and 1900. For the sake OF get
ting even with them he would leopard
lie the success of his party.

Records in the coroner's Office in
Chicago show that during the month Of
April there were 266 deaths by violence
in that city. The coroner says he has
investigated a great number of deaths
by violence and has reached the con-
clusion that eight persons out of every
ten who meet violent death are killed
because of their own negligence rather
than that of others. People are too

Representative Cowherd, the new
chairman of the Democratic Congress
sional Committee, is getting his COM
mittee into shape for vigorous cam
paign. An examination of the situa-
ton shows that. as the House is at
present constituted, gain of fifteen
seats would put the Democrats in con-
troll OF that body. An effort is to be
made TO hold the seats now occupied
by Democrats and win in the election
next fall the needed fifteen seats. To
accomplish this some forty districts in
the North and West now held by Re-
publicans, but in which the vote was
close in the last election, will be Sc
lected and extraordinary efforts made
to turn them into the Democratic col
umn. New York, Illinois and Mas
sachusetts are believed to promise
well for the Democrats.
