BIDS CONTINUED IN
DISTRICT FOURTEEN
Only One Bid Submitted for Paving
and Matchmaking and Council
Takes No Action

The Warren Construction com
was the only bidders for the i'm
provements in District No. IA. in
GLIDING portions of Paradise, Daniel.
Spring, Mckenzie and Alder streets,
and action on the bids was continued
until the next regular meeting of the
city council The bid was submitted
as special meeting of the city dads
LAST Monday even pg, and the price
asked for the macadamized portion
of the district was considered too
high, the company asking $1.4O per
square yard for water-bound ma
cadam and $1.53 per square yard for
bituminous macadam, while the
present macadam ON Main street was
secured by the city for about So
cents per square yard, exclusive of
curling.
1t is planned to pave the streets in
District No. A which are most tray
eled and macadamize the remainder,
and the bid of the Warrent company
on both classes of improvement was
as follows:

The same company entered bids
for macadam as follows:
Water-bound macadam at S1.4O
per square yard.
Bituminous macadam at $1.53 per
square yard.
The bids on paving, curbing, catch
basins, excavation and sewer pipe
were the same as those presented by
the same company for district No
13, and accepted by the council two
weeks ago. Figured on the same
basis as the specifications in the con-
tract for District No. 10, which calls
for the bithulithic pavement, with
3 Y inch stone base and p inch
wearing surface, the total cost of
paving the 6857 square yards in
cluded in the district, together with
the curbing, excavation, sewer pipe.
catch basins and cutters, would be
$14, 676.40 under the bid furnished
by the Warren company.

occasional war as long as the world
lasts. Even in the Bible times
this british practice WAS carried
on, aud no doubt this is where the
brute man gets his combativensss
from. OF course wars then were
not as destructive as now, the
weapons not being of the death
dealing kind the civilized GU war
rior of today does his fighting
with. The fighting then was face
to face, and the lance or javelin
the principal weapon used. Now,
thanks to the civilized CD genius
OF certain inventors. the comba-
tants can stand Of a mile or two
and plug the enemy to their
hearts content from a point of
of vantage behind trse, fence,
or any other old place which will
afford them protection from the
bullets of their friends the enemy.
In the Olden times the naval
battles were fought in galleys, the
oar being the principal weapon of
attack of defeuse. But now, thanks
again to these civilized CD gen.
fuses. the oar is no longer III CON-
mission, bat Instead we have craft
which ride the waves like ducks,
and which can send projectlss a
distance of five miles, aud use
enough powder at one discharge
to buy provender for family for
whole month. 1t is not the pur-
pose of the writer to 20 into the
question of patronage or who pays
the toll for those immense fight
ing craft. Sufficient is it to say
that the civilized { p nations the
world over deem them necessary,
and the people-gullible fools that
they are--stand for it.
In addition to the above mep-
cd fighting craft, the torpedo boat,
which may be- propelled under the
water, seems destined to play quite
prominent part in any pracss
which occur; and then these flying
machines which are becoming 50
numerous might in a pinch be
used as bomb-droppers, and blow
us dwellers Oh this mundane
sphere to Halifax or some other
hotter region.
In spite of the benefits derived
FROM wars by the railroads, the
cosmopolitan newspapers, the clo-
thing contractors, provision hou-
SOS, aud other side issues, all of
which reap a monetary harvest
while the war lasts, We are unal-
terably opposed to war. Of course
it pays the business interests, but
the cost in human life is too great /;
and as we place human life above
money, it is easy to DO seen where
We stand on the question of war.

eral adoption by the rural class wa,
the fruit of long and laborious cam
paign of education. It's evident sue
cess in Germany led to its adoption ia
other countries of Europe.
The present general level of the
wealth of the farmers of America is
far above that of the German farmers
of that day and it should be possible TO
form many cooperative banks Of con-
siderable initial strength throughout
the land.
In proposing that these purely rural
banks be made national and still more
in proposing a system including ma
tional rural bank as a center, to be
owned by the state rura1 national
banks, the stock in which is to be
owned solely by local rural national
banks, Senator Fletcher is advocating
system of banking on basis il
American financial history. This is
however, merely providing the franz
work which is to be filled in as the
local banks develop. The system must
still grow from below upward. Local
banks must first be established before
there are stockholders for the state
banks. The proposed plan simply pro-
vides for the safe and orderly develop
ment of the new idea in banking.
That there is a large void in Amer:
can finances has come to the conscj
BUSINESS of the great majority of those
who pay heed to matters of national
welfare. 1t is the lack of system pro

tect and screen her from all that
might hurt or contaminate Her eyes
invite and challenge Her bearing
announces an independence that is too
assertive. There is nothing reluctant
about her feet. Rather they press
eagerly toward the dress, manner,
customs and pleasures resigned TO-,
those who have plucked ripe fruit from
the Tree of knowledge.
We men are proud of this new girls
spirit of her achievements in the
classroom, of her resourcefulness ard
adaptability when economic conditions
force her into our factories, stores an /
offices. We smile at her good-humor-
eddy and say, GO to it, grille" when
she elbows her way into the crowded
lunch room or trolley. But we miss
the shadow in her eyes, the lily in her
hand, and we do not like to think Of
to analyze her position in the general
Ischeme of life we think vaguely that
she belongs in a class that must holi
its own in the stern work-a-day world.
Perhaps in preparing their daughters
for the grinding, pitiless contact with
those who toll, parents have taught
girls at once too much and too little
too much of how to protect themselves
from evil in others, too little of how IT,
flee the evil in self And so Haunting
her preparedness, this type throws ioff
the mysterious veil of maidenhood,
melting into womanhood.
We are sorry for this girl, sorry for
her parents, and we say smugly TO
ourselves that we are glad our daugh-
tiers are not as this poor, world-worn
little creature. That is because we
really do not know our own daughters.
We have not time to- follow our girls
into what we fondly believe to be .
sheltered, refined life. Suppose some
of you fathers put market prices in;o
the background and for a few hours
walk the sheltered path which you inn
agine your hard earned dollars pro-
vide for your daughters.

The bill offered in the United States
senate by Senator Fletcher Saturday to
establish a system of rural national
tanks is the result of his own long
and serious study of the question o:
farm finance. 1t embodies, it woui1
Iseem from the synopsis furnished -
the Associated Press, the main featur-
es of the Raiffeisen system of Germany
which has proved so eminently salts

and appears to be the real basis of the
prosperity of that country, which y
rescued from most deplorable situa-
ton, taking the oppressed farmer out
of the hands of the money shark AS
in the foreign system, provision is to
be made for loans running through
ears, twenty to fifty, to farmers by
farmers.
While nothing is said directly in the
synopsis of cooperation as an element
of the establishments proposed in the
bill, yet the phrase local national
banks owned and operated by farm
ers," would indicate measure of CO.
operation limited to the rural popula-
ton 1t is true that almost every bank
is a form Of cooperation among cap
Iitalists. This measure would provide
for financial cooperation among class
which, even in this country, has pre-
duced very few capitalists.
It was the general poverty among
the peasants of Germany that led Bul =
gomeister Railffeisen to devise plan
whereby men of scant means could join
in humble efforts to establish ne"
and, at that time, an entirely novel
form of banking. So novel was it that
at first it met with opposition among

SAVANNAH IS PLEASED, TOO

1t is fortunate that Savannah as well
as Americas is pleased by the recent
decision of the Seaboard to move its di-
vision headquarters from Savannah to
Americas. But this is true, as the
Seaboard has decided to create a new
division with Savannah as the heal
quarters. Everybody is well pleased,
then, and smiles all around are in ord
er, as is evidenced by the following
congratulatory editorial from the Sa
vannah News:
The trades body of this city after
hearing statement of the president
of the Seaboard Air Line respecting
the removal of the headquarters of TIC
divisional superintendent from this
city to Americas do not feel that S;:-
Ndhiidh VIII lOSS dlIy ChihS ny Tic
change. A new division has been Gre
ated with headquarters here, made nee
essary by the increase of the Sea-
! boards business at this port, and the
operating force of this division will
be approximately as large as was that
of the division that existed before the
recent Americas order.
But of much more Importance to this
port than the new division are the new
freight yard and warehouses to be es-
tablished on this side of the river, GA
West Broad street. The yard ana
warehouses will be very commodious
and will require big force to operate
them. This improvement shows con-
clusively that the business of the
road to and from this port has in
creased immensely and that the man
agement- of the road is looing forward
to a still greater growth of business
here.
Its expectations are not unreason-
able. The country in this section trih-
utary to the Seaboard is developing all
the time. In the course of a very few
years it will furnish twice as niue
traffic as it does now. The Seaboard
foresees this and is making prepara-
tons for handling it.
We are not in position to give the
figures, but we feel safe in saying that
the Seaboards business into and out OF
Savannah is double what it was ten or
even five years ago. The management
of the road, therefore, is making 40
mistake in taking steps to handle a
large part of its traffic going out of
and coming into this city on this side
of the river. 1t will not be long after
the new yard and warehouses are conf
lfeted befor" the demands or the
terminals on both sides of the river
will be equal to their capacity.
