orator is chosen by tho two literary socie-
ties Of the university.

by their friends, and a fight at
once began, which is still unsettled, and
which is likely to resultin the reorganization
of the societies. Senator duBignon is not
an alumnus of the univer .ity and his name
was presented without his consent or even
his knowledge
After the withdrawal of Mr.. Grady,
Senator duBignon Immediately wrote
the societies asking that his
name also be withdrawn from the con-
test A day or two ago he received
letter from special commit
tee of the societies urging him to recon-
slider his withdrawal. The committee
stated that he had received a majority of
votes from the first ballot and since the
withdrawal Of Mr.. Grady, and
that his election is necessary to
secure an orator. Under the circumstances
he has consented TO allow the use OF his
name and has notified TIE committee to
that effect. Senator duBignon, the COM
mittee states, has over forty Of the sixty
votes cast.
The contest has developed many amusing
features and it has been the most exciting
that has ever taken place in the university 8

THE DRUMMERs' WEEK.
President Newman and the May Week
Convention.

President Dean Newman Of the Savannah
branch Of the Southern Travellers Associa-
tion, aud chairman of the committee on con-
stitution and bylaws was seen by a MoRNISG
News reporter last night. He has been
here for several days with his committee
getting the laws Of the association in shape
to be reported 10 the convention on the first
day of merchants MAY week.
My duties, preparatory to holding TINS
convention, are now about ended, as
the committee thinks that the
bylaws are in shape, and it will require
only a final coming together Of the com
Inittee to put on the finishing touches. This
final meeting Is set FOR the last Saturday in
April which is prior to the convenlng OF
the convention"
Mr.. Newman is sanguine Of the success
of the new organization of commercial
| men, and tho accomplishing Of its many
| important objects. The southern
travellers, he said, remained long enough
in the National Travellers Protective AS
ISOLATION to learn the needs Of organizing,
and they had very correct idea II the
kind OF an association tho southern travel
ers needed most; especially as to
the various objects to be OBJ
tanned, aud just what kind Of
laws and regulations would be beat adapted
for the consummation of their objects. The
c mmttee took the national constitution
as a guide and elimate1 what it thought
was useless and uuimportant and added
some new features.
When asked about MAY week." Mr.
Newman said that he could speak more
particularly about what is going
on outside. lie said that the com
mittees Of which he has appointed
cheirmen are actively at work, and
as far rs he could see, they are leaving
nothing undone which viii make the
celebration a great success. Aside from
this will result incalculable benefit TO the
city. II will show the hospitality Of it's
citizens and its resources as a great COM
mercial city.
You will see, said Mr. Newman. that
the committees are preparing for and will
have tie pleasure of entertaining people
from over almost the entire south, who have
been invited here by the travellers per
sonally as well as through the medium
of the many thousand programmes and in
vitations now being Sent out. at is
just time,h he said, Ito advertise
Savannah's seaside resorts. 1t will start
the season of 1889 with a big boom,
and the people may see for themselves the
new Tybee hotel, which will be nearly COM
pletod then"
Mr.. Newman said that his final efforts
will BE- to induce the Central railroad to fur
nish delegation of the Savannah travellers
passes to accompany him to Atlanta and
Columbus, the only two cities he has yet to
visit, in the interest Of his committee.

be one of purely business nature. relating

Capt. J. D. Johnston's Acquaintance
with Two of the Naval Board.

with Two of the Naval Board.
Can't. ]. d. Johnston, Of the firm of John
ston & Douglass, who is on the committee
OF reception, appointed to look after the
navy commissioners when they visit SaVan-
nah, is well acquainted with two members
Of the commission, with whom he served in
the navy prior to the war Commodore
w. y. McCann, chairman Of the commits
sion, and Capt Johnston were engaged on
opposite sides in the naval engage
ment in Mobile bay in 1854, Commodore
McCann commanding one OF the vessels Of
the federal fleet, and Capt. Johnston COM
manding the confederate ram Tennessee.
Capt. Johnston has contributed to the
Century War Book an account of the en-
gagement, advance sheets Of which, with
portrait of the author, have been sent out
One Of the pleasing incidents connected
with the surrender Of the confederate force
was tine return OF Capt JohnstOn's sword
since the war by son Of Admiral Farra-
gut, who commanded the federal feet in the
battle.
Capt. Johnston entered the United States
navy IN 1882, having prepared himself by
assiduous study, and, as be puts it, sin a
practical way as it was before the day OF
we'll equipped naval academies in this
country. His studies we're prosecuted at
the Brooklyn navy yard, and he passed the
requisite examination before the naval
board at Baltimore.
Commodore William z. McCann entered
the naval academy at Annapolis in lS48
and was midshipman in the navy at Nor
folk n 1850 or 1851, when Capt. Johnston
was lieutenant on the frigate City Of Co
lumbia, and where Capt. Johnston found him
on the return of the former from a cruise
off the coast of Africa.
With Capt. Robert Boyd, Capt. Johnston
is more intimately acquainted, and by an
association Of two and half years in the
navy. Capt Boyd entered the navy in 1850
and was master Of the steam frigate Pow
hatan when Capt. Johnston was executive
officer OF the vessel which was Commodore
Tattnalls flag ship, and until a short time
before the breaking out Of hostilities, when
Capt. Johnston cast his destinies with the
confederacy.
The relations between Capts. Boyd and
Johnston we're very pleasant, and they had
an enjoyable reunion on board the flagship
Richmond, commanded by Capt. Boyd, at
Port Royal last year, when the fleet
stopped there on its way northward. Capt
Johnston and half dozen friends chartered
tug here and went over to pay their re-
spects Capt. Boyd, who gave his old com
rade and accompanying friends a royal
welcome.
Capt. Johnston looks forward with inter
est to the visit OF the naval commission, not
only because it is fraught with deep interest
to the city, but because of past associations
with two of its conspicuous members.
