TRAVELLERS ON THE MOVE.
What the Savannah Association Is
Doing and Proposes to Do.


The charter for the Southern Travellers
Association is pending in the legislature,
and it is thought that it will be got through
before the session closes. In the meantime,
the association will go right ahead further
ing its interests in every way it can. The
membership has increased to over 100, and
| commercial men in this city and elsewhere
in this and adjoining states are fiocking
| to it.
Steps are being taken toward fitting up a
hall for the association, and it is likely that
before another six months passes it will not
be without suite of elegantly furnished
rooms. The rooms will be open to the COM
mercial men, no matter where they come
from. The northern travelling men will be
cordially welcomed, and the merchants
from the interior towns who have occasion
TO visit Savannah are expected to make the
rooms OF the. association theirs while they
are in the city.
"It is great move" said Secretary Max
Robinson, land it will bring about closer
friendship and union among travelling men
in the city and their customers-the coun-
trymen. We are striving to make the as
sociatlon prosperous one, and SO far we
have met with success. We will work
with redoubled energy to get the railroads
TO issue the five Thousand mile interstate
tickets as soon as we are done with the hol-
lday rush. Encouraging communications
have been received from many of the rail-
road officials, and we have reason
to believe that the issuing of the
interstate tickets will be assured Should
we be successful in getting the railroads to
issue them, the northern travellers will have
to become members Of our association in
order to secure them, as they will be issued
to only the association for its members. In
this way we increase our numbers and
make the association popular all over the
country"
President Dean Newman, who is one of
Savannah's most popular travelling men,
and Secretary Max Robinson, a very ener-
getic young business man, are at the head
OF the association, and it Gould have secured
no better men to foster and cherish the
Young organization

We have kept pretty quiet about our
Special Mathushek Piano Sale for some

FROM TEXAS TO rIPPEcANoE.

The appointment of Mr.. Charles
Hedges, Associated Press agent for
Texas, to the very important post Of
head of the Associated Press News
Bureau, at indianapolis, is well de-
served promotion. Complimentary as
the offer is, and responsible as is the
position, Mr.. Hedges and his friends
have just cause to feel a pardonable
pride in his advancement to the most
onerous position that could be tender
ed him. The home of the republican
candidate for presidential honors will
be the center of observation during
the present campaign. The duties
that will naturally devolve upon the
head of the News Bureau of the Asso-
ciated Press at that point are not only
arduous, but most delicate, and call
for a rare combination Of qualities.
Those who have been acquainted with
MIR. Hedges during the past, and par
ticularly during his recent four years
management of Associated Press mat
ters in the southwest, will not feel at
all nervous concerning the outcome of
this appointment. Clear headed, with
a perfect knowledge of the work that
lies before him, and fully understand
ing its great claims upon all his pow
ers, he will bring to discharge of his
duties a loyalty of feeling to the press
and loyalty of feeling to himself and
loyalty of feeling to the presidential
nominee out of which will grow a SER
vice so admirably performed that it,
will leave nothing to be desired. The
LIGHT sincerely congratulates Mr..
Hedges upon his appointment and Of
fers him it's earnest wishes for his con-
tinued success in his new field of press
service.
1t may not be amiss to state that in
all probability the Galveston agency
will be discontinued August lst, and
the press of this state served direct
from st. Louis after that date. This
would, or should, save the delay in
cidenT to distribution at Galveston
aud give us afternoon press reports
at least two hours earlier than they
now reach us. Whether this result
will be attained or not depends upon
several little things not yet fully de-
cided upon.

FINDING it wise to publish what the
people read and demand as reading
matter, many democratic journals in

are sending out good republican mat

HAMILTON, who was acquitted in
Mississippi of the killing of Gambrell
some months since, and whose trial
was the most sensational and intense
ly dramatic ever held in that state,
was bounded during trial and long
before by many of the. more influential
o. the southern journals, who seemed
to have had personal spite against
the man. This adverse public opinion
was severely felt by Mr.. Hamilton,
and it had it's effect in preventing him
from being allowed such privileges as
are usual to persons in his condition,
severely wounded. Now that he has
heen acquitted Col. Hamilton has be-
gun to make reprisals against the
journals whose hostility was thus
virulently manifested and suits for
heavy damages ranging from $40, 900
to 1000 have been entered against
such journals as wese most vindictiye.
The evidence in the trial did not just:-
fy other conclusion than that.
that Hamilton acted in self!
defense and the course of the
public press in creating a pub
Tic sen timent deadly to all his chances
of acquittal while on trial for his life
will be forced to its justification in the
law courts. Col. Hamilton does well
to thus defend himself.
