TELFAIR ACADzMYs RECEPTION
Some Comments on Mr.. Brandt's
Latest Work

Editor Morning NelCs: Permit please.
an art amateur to express, briefly, in the
columns of the NEWS, impressions received
at the late exhibition of the Telfair Acade-
my, to congratulate Mr.. Brandt upon the
great success of the exhibition, and the
people Of Savannah who saw it, upon
having an institution of so much present
Importance and of 50 much future promise.
The exhibition was just perfect in its kind
good taste, skill and Judgment could do
no more to render it pleasing and attract
i've.
OF the picture designed to be the princi-
pal attraction of the exhibition, it is bat
simple justice to the painter and to the
painting to say that in sitW it was much
less effective and attractive than it would
have been in deeper and brighter colors.
But as it was not designed to be most
effective as placed, but as to be placed in
harmony with its surroundings, the consid-
GRAFTON of the color may be dismissed, ex-
cepting that Of the portrait, of the charac-
ter of which only, and more especially OF
the expression of it the portrait), the writer
deems himself competent art connoisseur
enough to judge.
Now, in portraits color is, in the view of
the writer, of little comparative account.
Portraits may be indeed considered almost
irrespective of color, as who is not aware
who has seen tn SO wonderfully expressive
portraits Of our Lord and his apostles lat
the paschal supper painted, as who does
not know, on one of the walls of the refec-
tory of an old convent at Milan, or who
has noticed the peculiar character of
the portraits of Vandyke! 1t is
not color, though, of course, not
colorless painting, which has given
those portl ats expression and fame, but
the genius, the inspiration which, whatever
may be said of Vandyke, Leonardo da
Vinchi expressed on n wall And so the
merit of all representation of human fea-
lures, of all portrait painting which is not
mere copying or mere live portrait, must be
in the conception of the painter and his
skill in the expression. In conception is
genius, in expression genius and art. In
the portrait of the Apelles there is Strik-
ing power, and for want Of n better word
one may say grandeur of conception which
is most effectively and admirably expressed
The portrait therefore of the picture of
Apelles by Carl l.. Brandt is, in the view of
the writer, masterpiece, chef-d'9uvre of
art.
The exhibition on Thursday last at the
Telfair, which fortunately it would seem
all the elite of Savannah must have seen,
may be reckoned very suspicious for the
academy; for surely all who saw it must
wish it prosperity and speak well of it; and
of the many people of taste and culture
who saw and must have admired it, there
must be some who, as they have means and
opportunity, will not fail to aid it.
APPRECIATION.

will utilize land now taken up by cross
bitches, and at the same time furnish bet
ter system of drainage. 1t has been prac-
tically demonstrated that crops on land
where the drain tile is used, can stand
long continued dry seasons much better
than where the open ditch is depended on
for drainage
Wherever the subject of the County
Commissioners work was discussed the
truck farmers expressed the highest com
mendation. They argued that not only did
1t largely benefit them, but that in opening
out new lands for cultivation, and lettering
the sanitary condition of outlying lands, it
would result in increasing the trade of Sa-
vannah, attracting others to the country
where truck farming can be proftably en-
gagged in nine months out of the twelve, and
for every new acre cultivated the fertilizer
trade of the city would be increased.
THE HUNGRY EAST
A New York produce dealer, in a recent
conversation with MORNING NEWS re-
porter said:
THE populous cities of the East can take
all the early fruits and vegetables that car
be raised about Savannah, and pay foI
them as fast as they get them" This was a
brief but eloquent way Of stating u fact
that must be an incentive to much more
extensive system of truck farming which is
already Of fair proportions and reasonably
lucrative,

DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL HIM.
What James Golden's Slayer Sail
When He Was Arrested.

When He Was Arrested.
The Charleston police are laboring under
the impression that they scooped the Savan-
nah officers in arresting Jim Mattox, the
murderer of James Golden in Robertsville, a
week ago. The NeiUS and Courier, in an
nouncing Mattox's arrest, says that while
the Savannah officers were laboring in the
dark about the murder, the Charleston de-
tectives had Swallowed the man, and before
the Savannah people knew who the muir
derer was the Charleston police had cap
tured him and obtained a confession from
him.
The Charleston officers did a good act in
arresting Mattox, but the statement that
the Savannah detectives were in the dark
about the murder is untrue. The day that
Golden died Mattox was tracked out of the
city. 1t was known that he had left the
State and that he was inaccessible to the
authorities here. The MORNING News in
its report of the Coroners inquest stated
that MattoX was believed to be the author
of the crime
Mattox was captured in Charleston by De-
tectives Miller and Hogan. He had been
loating around the Charleston and Savpn-
nah railway yards several days. When he
was first arrested he gave his name rs Rob
ert johnson, but after aw lie, when the
detectives told him who he was, he con
fesSed the killing and said that his name
was James Mattox. He is described as a
young looking man, ginger-cake colored and
shabbily dressed. His countenance is stolid.
He stammers very badly His story of the
crime was given in the MORNING News
yesterday. After he hurled the ak at Col
den ami when he saw him fall un-
der the blow, he ran down the
street and went TO the house of his cousin.
Sherman Thomas, near the barracks, and
stayed all night. On Sunday night he left
Savannah aud went to Hardeeville, and
from there went to Charleston. He got
there on Thursday and applied for lodgings
at the police station. Finding that he
would have to 60 TO jail if he stayed all
night at the police station, he left and slept
up the road Mattox said that he was
perfectly willing TO return TO savannah
without a rcquisition from the Governor.

MONEY IN REAL ESTATE.
Savannah Not City of Booms But of
Steady Growth

The 'boom," as it is very appropriately
designated has passed away from many of
the places that had it, and like other looms
has created sad havoc among those who got
in its way Savannah is one of the cities,
h wev-r. that has never had boom OF
any great dimensions, but it has had a
steady and healthy prosperity. In no city
in the South have investors in lots and land
had such uniform good fortune. Lots are
bought and sold and resold, and again re-
sold. each seller making good round profit.
In several cases lots that were sold ten
years ago for 500 to 500 have in late years
sold for 1900 to $4,000
A remarkable instance in the advance of
real estate was the sale of a half lot on a
cross street south of the Park. Five years ago
it sold for $500, and that was considered a
good price, as it was probably handsome
profit on previous price. A year after il
was sold for $500, and was again considered
well sold The next purchaser paid 81 600
for it, the next buyer, who was n little
scary, probably, sold for 81 POO. The last
purchaser held it until about a month ago,
when he sold for s., 800, and he is sorry that
he didn't ask more. A nice dwelling is to
be erected on the lot. There are quite q
number of strong believers in Savannah's
future who are constantly adding TO their
fortunes by their faith.

THE GUYTON TEMPEST.


to 1t.
Editor Norning Ne,os: A card signed by
j. H. McGehee appears in Saturdays NEWS
in which he charges that the committee APP
pointed at meeting recently held in Guy
ton, did not properly discharge their duties.
AS chairman of that committee | feel it
incumbent upon me to state that fully re-
allied the impossibility of giving satisfac-
ton TO many of us" who were in that
meeting; and declined to serve on the COM
mittee until requested to do so by the gen
tleman who introduced the motion as a
personal favor TO him. Before visiting
your Office | saw this gentleman and stated
to him what proposed to say, and he agreed
with me that nothing more was necessary
Mr.. McGehee leaves several questions for
the public to inquire into, which l will an
swer.
First. The committee carried out the &C
tion of sthe meeting by presenting a report
satisfactory to the gentleman who intro
duced the motion.
Second. Never having seen your reporter
but once, and then only for short while,
the charge of close fellowship falls by its
own weight.
Third. l will leave the public to Judge if
my action can in any way be construed into
IAN apparent Endorsement of manipulated
reports or secret StabS," when what | did,
and all | did, was to state to the reporter of
the NEWS that all differences had been ad-
iusted and the community was at peace.
did not for moment suppose that my
duties as representative of the committee
involved protecting Mr.. McGehee, and GER
tainly would not have undertaken such a
task. regretted the publication of the
article as much as any one, and so stated in
the meeting; but had attempted to point
out the inaccuracies that it contained
and endeavored to show lchO 1Cere in
jured on it, 1t lOOuId hare called more par
ticular attention TO those 1ChO deserved all
they rece1red.
In regard to the names published by Mr..
McGehee | wish to state that it was gen
orally understood by the gentleman VINO
signed that agreement that the school to be
taught by him was to be free from de-
nominational dictaJion or control" Is the
school taught by him such school! The
advertisement in his paper speaks of it as
1.-The Savannah District High School," and
my impression is it is under the control of
the South Georgia Conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South.

the scene of the fire, which was on the
second floor of Turner Hall 1t was extin
guished by the firomen with buckets A
portion of the scenery was burned, and the
floor of the Stage was slightly scorched,
but the damage will not exceed $40 or SIS.
The fire was the work of an mcendiary
The janitor had unlocked the door and gone
TO the third floor, and had not been t1ere
ten minutes when smoke was seen issuing
from the windows OF the second floor. The
janitor had not been near the stage.
This is the third incendl9ry attempt in
the past week, If indeed il is not the fourth.
Two attempts were made last week to fire
the house then occupied by MesSrs Gould
and Collins, who were burned out in Feb
ruary at Lincoln and Second streets.
II is rumored that there are some grounds
for the belief that the destruction of the
Vale Royal mills Friday morning last was
the work of an iucondiary, and the expert
opening Of the middle circuit of the fire
alarm wires Saturday night is an evidence
that there is some one Interested IN seeing
property destroyed and delaying tho fire de-
pertinent in getting to fires IN tlmo to save
property and perhaps b save life.

dressed, and the boy was advised
to come back tomorrow, when an

mother, who seemed very much troubled
over the affair. She said that she told the
boy to remain at home until she returned
from an afternoon visit, and during her
absence he slipped out Of the house and
went to see his "chum" who had become
the happy possessor of a seven shooter.
Although the boys claim that tine shooting
was accidental, the mother thinks that her
