Shall be Senator

Dissension in Bryan County Over Who
Shall be Senator.
Capt. George P. Williams, candidate for
state senator from Bryan county,
after spending two days in this city,
returned home yesterday afternoon. In
an interview with that gentleman he
seemed inclined to think that his chances
are excellent for the nomination: and to
judge from the action of the democracy in
three of the four militia districts of Bryan
county, and the sub-alliance. Capt. Will
Jams has good grounds for hope.
There seems to be, however, some friction
in Bryan among the democracy, and ]. NJ
Heery and Robert +. G. Smith are said to
have called q mass meeting of the party,
to be held at Clyde next Saturday to in
struct the senatorial delegation from that
county, having failed to induce the execu-
tive committee of the county to call a
meeting. 1t is understood chat the action
OF the executive committee will receive a
quasi Endorsement by the great body of the
democracy of Bryan absenting themselves
from the meeting.
The democracy of three out of the four
militia districts of the county have declared
for Capt. Williams In the Nineteenth
militia district the action of the executive
committee In refusing to call another meet

passed urging the delegation to support

ton of the executive committee.
The Toney Branch Alliance at Ellabell, at
their meeting held Aug. g. adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:

and did authorize said delegates to select the

terminus of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway, bringing all Florida and
Southern Georgia to our very doors, and
now extending itself to the heart of Ala
bama, drawing tribute for the city from
that prosperous state.
Savannah has now a new outlet TO the
timber lands and cotton fields lying along
the Savannah, Americas and Montgomery
and Savannah and Westernroads. Along
all these roads are cities and towns and
villages. The trade of these should be Sc
cured for this city. Train their r.. chants
to trade with Savannah. Advertise our
city and ourselves, and let them know what
Savannah merchants can do.
The Trade Review, going everywhere,
finding every village, seeking every bust
ness man, at once introduces the city and
her business men. 1t aids the drummer on
lis rounds. 1t tells our new acquaintance
in the recently opened territory where we
are and what we are. Such a trade issue is
directory, guide.
This is an age of reading. People look in
the newspapers to find what they want
Cannot our business mon, arising to the
hight of Savannah's bright future, aid in
making this trade review a great mirror.
rejecting to the business world our beautiful
city in all her gloryl
This is Savannah's golden opportunity to
turn the tide Of travel and trade to her own
doors, and thus secure the advantages which
nature and the sagacity of business men
have given her.

represented in the columns of this issue.
The cost is small; the returns great. Full

monthly meeting last night 1t being the
first meeting of the cotton season it was
largely attended, and the hall was filled
with Savannah's muscular longshoremen,
there being about 1876 members present.
The harmony Of the meeting was marred
by an incident which created considera de
excitement. Australian Kelly,n who was
present and under the influence Of liquor
made some offensive remarks. The chair
man fined him two or three times and at
last ordered him put out of
the hall, appointing committee
for that purpose. The committee

chairman for being dilatory. A man named
GroRhan attempted to enforce the chair
mans order, aud succeeded at the expense

against some Of the other workingmen, and
he was heard to exclaim outside that some
man had worked screw with a niggerl"
de had his sympathizers. too, and
one man said that he thought there
was going to be general
row at one time, and If there had been he
would have been on Kelly's side. The older
members deprecated the riotous condition of
affairs.
Policemen Durham and Mehrtens heard
of the row, the noise of which could be
heard as far as Congress street, and went to
the scene, out did not find it necessary to
make any arrests
Order was restored after the expulsion of
the unruly member, and business proceeded
without further interruption, the associa-
ton continuing in session until a late hour.

A HEAVY RAINFALL
5avannah's Share for Two Days Ovel
Five Inches.

5avannah's Share for Two Days Over
Five Inches.
Yesterdays rainfall at Savannah was one
Of the heaviest in years.
The signal observers record showed a
total of 4:29 inches for the "a hours ending at
8 O'Clock last night. 1t was almost one
gan to fall on Monday morning until noon
yesterday. Monday nights rain
fall was 25 inches and yesterdays
l.79 inches, which, added 10 80, which fell
Monday, make 5.11 inches of rain which
have fallen here since Monday morning. 1t
is the heaviest rainfall reported from any
point in the south this year.
The heavy rains were confined almost
entirely to the Georgia aud South Carolina
coast, the heaviest filling in Savannah and
vicinity. Charleston had rainfall of 1.25
inches. There we're only light sho Sers
throughout the south yesterday, except in
the Augusta, Charleston and Savannah dis
tricts.
The signal observers explanation of this
sudden spell of rainy weather is that high
pressure area formed suddenly over Georgia
and South Carolina, slight depression ex-
isting at the same time In the gulf. This
produced cooler temperature, and caused
heavy rains throughout the country in
fiuenced by it.
The temperature throughout the South

low, as is shown by the averages of the
following DISTRICTS Savannah and Will
