Railroad Chatter.

Boston capitalists are negotiating for the
purchase of the charter Of the Chattanooga
and Augusta railroad, and if they succeed
in their efforts it will mean the immediate
building Of the road.
The finishing touches were put on Presi-
dent Alexander's new car at the Macon
shops Yesterday The car is a beauty in the
way of comfort and elegance. 1t is proba-
bly, the most elaborate and costly ever built
in the shops.
The pig iron shipments from Birmingham
are increasing all the time When the
Columbus and Western is opened for traffic
the pig iron trade will move in another
direction. The Central railroad and the
Ocean steamship company are making ex-
tensive arrangements for handling big ship
ments.
A Pittsburg Pa.) inventor has Just in
vented a safe freight car coupler, which, on
being tried, is pronounced by railroad men
to be model coupling. The coupling is so
arranged that the cars always couple when
they meet, and are uncoupled by means of
a lever from either side or on top of the
cars At no time is brakeman required
to go between the cars to uncouple them.
The railroad commission appointed by
the Georgia legislature has reported the
value of the Western and Atlantic railroad

1t is also estimated that road thirteen
miles shorter, equally as good, and with
only two bridges across Chicamauga creek,
can be built for $500,O 900 less. Tho value of

TROUBLE AMONG THE SHOTS.
The Chatham Gun Club Kicks Against
the National Gun Assncia tinn

tlS NdlloIldl Gun ASSOCIATION.
The Forest City gun club was notified
few days ago that the badge which the
Galatians won from them some time ago
had been returned to the secretary of the
National gun association, and also announc-
ing the resignation of several members of
tlat club. The secretary, in his letter,
stated that the Chatham gun club had be-
come dissatisfied with the rulings of the
National gun association and was unwilling
to remain longer a member Of the associa-
ton. The rulings referred to were those
barring professional shots.
The members of the Chathams
that resigned were the principals
IN contesting tho shoot at Millen
when the Forest Citys won the badge. They
claimed that the Forest Citys had members
who were professional Shots The matter was
referred 10 the President of the National
gun assoc alton and the ruling was that no
man, whether he sells game or not, is classed
professional shot unless he visits tourna-
ments and makes livelihood in that way
The secretary stated in his letter that the
badge would revert to the Forest City club
as tie original winners, and it would be for
warded them shortly.
Six members of the Chathams have re-
signed They assigned as q reason for ten
dering their designations that the rulings of
sional shots were altogether unsatisfactory,
and besides there is good deal of expense
attached to membership in the association.
AT each contest the association receives 81
for the use Of the badge, and this amount is
oftentimes made up from private purses,
the receipts for the shoots being inadequate.
1.-The Forest Citys will accept the badge
returned by the association" said Dr. e. j.
Kieffer, president of the Forest Citys, land
will receive challenges from any club In the
association, barring none"
Mr.. w. g. Cooper, president of the Chat
ham gun club, said that six or eight
members of the club had withdrawn, as
signing as a reason their dissatisfaction
with the rulings of the national association.
Mr.. Cooper said that there is rule incor-
porated in the constitution providing that
where two members in good standing de-
eide that any member Of the association is
a professional shot, that member will be
barred from shooting. He said that two
members of the Chathams had made
such charge against more than
one member Of the association, but
their charges were not considered, and the
men were not barred. Mr. Cooper also
said that the Chathams are greatly dis
satisfied with the expense attached to con-
tests for the medal. At each contest the
association requires an entrance fee of Sc,
and many times, when the entrance is
light, the members have to make up the
amount by private contributions. He
thought the upshot of the whole thing will
be an organization of a southern asSocia-
ton. The Augusta club is in favor of such
move, and the Forest Citys will very
likely join them. If the move meets with
favor from all the clubs south, the organi-
cation will be perfected within the coming
few months

The Best Time to Buy valuables.

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. In word, we are now inclined
to give very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock in various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits, new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we lUiU sell uerv
close to move some of it. This is good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornment we offer line par excellence of
Ladies' fine Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches and JeweIry, etc
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give nO,0. They
will keep, and you will save money.

THE NEW ICE COMPANY.
Over $4,000 Subscribed-The Com
pany to Organize Next Week.

over $4,000 Subscribed-The Com
pany to Organize Next Week.
The Savannah ice and cold storage COM
last night and adjourned without taking
any action until next Tuesday night.
There were about twenty-five members
present. Mr.. Sigmund Elsinger presided.
After a conference with I. p. Ravenel,
ESQ.,, Mr.. Elslnger stated that it required
the presence of five charter members to
proceed to an organization. for which pur-
pose the meeting had been called, and as
there were but two charter members present
to comply with the law there could be no
organization Of the company.
MIR. Williams reported that Mr.. Kol-
shorn's paper represented SIS, 700 in sub
scriptions, and that the Delavan machine
company, which desired to furnish the ma
chinery for the factory. has signified its
willingness to subscribe 5000, which
swelled the subscriptions to $40, 700.
Mr. Logan said that he had about $4,000
conditional subscriptions, but the sub
scribers wanted to know who was going to
manage the company before they put in
their money. Fully two-thirds of the sub
scribers wanted to know who would he the
officers and board of managers, and they
wanted to reserve the right to withdraw
their subscriptions if the management was
not satisfactory to them. He thought that
if good men were selected there would be
little trouble in securing subscriptions.
Mr.. Koshorn said that he had been in
communication with the Bergner & Engle
brewing company, and it was willing to
take stock The company is inter ested in
cheap ice in Savannah, but it wanted to
know who were the officers and managers
before investing in the concern. Mr.. Kol-
shorn thought there would DO no difficulty
after organizing the company to get am pie
subscriptions.
Mr.. Williams moved that a committee of
five be appointed to meet next Tuesday
night and report names for a president,
secretary. manager and board Of directors
for the company.
Mr.. Collins opposed the motion He
favored awaiting the outcome between the
two companies now in the field, and offered
an amendment that the meeting, without
taking any further action, should adjourn
until next Tuesday night at $50 o'clock.
The amendment was carried and the meet
ing adjourned.

HURRYING TO THE RESORTS.
Savannahians Packing Their Trunks
for the Mountains.
"They are leaving rapidly now"


"They are leaving rapidly now"
Where are they goingF'
Everywhere. Some go to Warm
Springs, Gainesville, Mt Airy, Tallulah
falls and GAINESVILLE. Some go to Ashville,
N. c., but the greater number of Savan-
nahians seeking summer resorts go this sea-
son to the Virginia springs"
This is what Bull street ticket agent
said yesterday about the summer exodus,
which is now in full blast. He had lust
sold party of thirteen tickets to Virginia.
The summer travel has ushered in most
auspiciously, and if the stream of people
that is going out of the city now grows in
the next two weeks in proportion to its
growth in the past two wee1s, there will be
a rush.
The sale of tickets to the summer resorts
began June l, and the increase in travel
since then has been very great. when
July comes" said the agent, sit will find
very few who are able to leave that have
not already gone" Everybody that is able
to go, goes. Savannah people probably
indulge the luxury of spending the hot
spell at the resorts more than the people of
any other city in the state
Last season the ma ority of Savannahians
who went to any one place went to Ash
vile, n. c. This season they are going to
are farther away and are reached six hours
later, yet the rush seems to be in that direc-
ton. The difference in the fare between
the two places is IS. A party leaving here
at noon will reach Ashville early the fol-
lowing morning, and Virginia Springs is
not reached until night.
the change of air and the surroundings
seems to be the main object with the pleas
ure seeker. You rarely find one that goes
to the same resort two successive seasons.
They want the change"
"Tallulah falls will be popular as a sum-
mer resort this season. Already number
of prominent families from Savannah are
there. A party leaving here early in the
morning viii arrive at Tallulah the follow
ing morning"
1--WE sell great many tickets to Warm
Springs, Ca, also. The travel there will
not be as great, though, as to Tallulah
falls. The parties leaving now will not
return before the middle of September or
first of October. Three months cover the
time they usually spend away from home.
A good many people go north, too, but the
northern travel is not as heavy now as it
will be next month, when the rush to Sara
toga and the White mountains will begin
A good many Savannahians go north for
the summer, but they do not usually go be-
fore along in july

each class were presented by S. B. Adams,
ESQ.
Before formally presenting the medals Mr.
Adams made brief re erence to the COM
petition and to the getting of medal as
amounting to nothing in itself, If, after all,
a boy comes short of the true purpose of
life, which he held was to do ones duty re-
gardless of the reward. He deprecated the
spirit Of rivalry in It's commonly accepted
term as perniciOus, whether in the school or
in the business world The true purpose Of
life, the speaker said, is not to get ahead
but TO do ones duty, and if while working
in the path Of duty the prizes and medals
of life come, then good and well, but they
should not be considered the be-ail
good, he added, in medals,
is that the award frequently acts as
stimulus to greater effort in cultivating the
said, no great intellectual success is pos
sible.

scented with medals: Scholarship, George

LESTER TO TAKE TIME.
BE IS OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED OF
HIS NOAIIN ALTON.

The Committee Urges His Accept
ance-CoL Lester Says That He VIII
Consider the Matter-He is Flooded
With Congratulations and Assur-
ances of a Unanimous Support.
The Chatham congressional delegation
and the Savannah contingent returned
yesterday from Brunswick. Col George
notify Col Lester of his nomination, waited
on him last night and presented the nomi-
nee with an official notification
Col Lester was seen later by MORNING
News reporter, and he said that he has not
yet formulated his reply. He will consider
the matter and will give it his early atten-
ton. He was engaged yesterday in a case
in the city court, and was the recipient of
congratulations on every hand. Before the
adjournment of court he returned to his
law Office, where friends continued to drop
in until late hour, congratulating him
upon his nomination and urging him to ac-
cept it.
William Clifton, ESQ, who was one of
the 100 Savannahians at Brunswick, called,
and in rendering his congratulations took
occasion to tell Col Lester that his nonina-
ton is heartily indorsed by the country
delegations, with whom he is very popular.
With the official notification of his nomi-
nation lying on the desk before him, Col.
Lester said that it was something that he
had not aspired to and did not want. Too
much is expected of congressman, he said.
He spoke very seriously when he said that
he was afraid that much more will be ex-
pected of him than any man could hope to
secure for his constituency 1t is some
time, however, before the congressman
elected this year will be called to Washing
ton he remarked, and by that time great
changes may take place. It is too early
now, he said, to outline the future in the
event of his acceptance and election.
