Next Year.
The high tent of the Independent Order
OF Recbabites will meet in annual conven-
ton in Savannah next July, and the local
lodges are already making arrangements
and raising funds to give the visiting dele
gates a royal welcome.
The order IL rapidly growing in influence
and members in Savannah, and is one OF the
most practical temperance organizations in
the country. The order was founded in
Stafford, Manchester. England, on Aug. %,
1885, and in America on Aug. 2, 1912, and Is
the Oldest total abstinence order In
the United States. Its objects are to inn
prove morals, promote brotherly love, re-
lieve the distressed. and smooth the pillow
Of the dying. 1t Is non-sectarian in char
acter. No matter from what part of the
world Rechabite comes, if he is in distress
he has an equal claim to the assistance and
protection of the brethren as if he resided
In the same town and were member Of the
same tent.
A novel feature OF the order is that while
it is secret, women are allowed to become
members.
Savannah has at present two tents-Geor-

and Forest City, with fifty.four female
adherents. Next Wednesday evening w.

George M. Willett, an old and ell-known
citizen, died yesterday at 2 o'clock from
heart failure. He was taken suddenly ill
Thursday morning on his way home from
the market and was carried 70 his resi-
dence.
Mr.. Willett was native Of New Jersey,
and came TO Savannah in 1885
and has resided here ever since.
Before the war he ran a large
brick yard. and was a man of large means
which dwindled considerably by reason of
the war and the failure of a number Of
Investments in the west. He aud w. o.
Charlton were the two oldest employees of
the Central railroad Mr.. Willett served
in the capacity of master carpenter, and
superintended the building Of the first pas
senger coach that ever went over the Gem
trial road. He also ran factory for the
manufacture of wood for agricultural I'M
plements, wheels and doors, etc, at Mont
gsmsry, in which venture he lost consider
able money.
Mr.. Willett was quite eccentric, but at
all times good company and a genial COM
panion. He was 70 years old, and leaves a
son, George M. Willett. with the City and
Suburban Railway Company, and three
married daughters, all residing in Savan-
nah. His funeral will take place this after

W. W. Barrough Sues DR.. Groth for
$4,000 Damages for Malpractice.
William W. Barrough has entered suit
against DR.. H. Henry Groth for $4,000
damages for malpractice. The papers have
been filed with the clerk of the city court
by w. E. Morrison and I. s. Morgan, Jr.,
attorneys for Barrough, and the trial will
take place at the November term The
declaration alleges that Barrough was
seriously injured in the left side by being
thrown from Belt Line car while attempt
ing TO disembark on Dec. 15 1889, at the
corner of West Broad and Margaret streets,
and that DIR. Groth was called in to treat
him. and through negligence failed to dis
cover that three Of plaintiffs ribs were
broken, although he attended him for three
months.
The declaration further alleges that
through the negligence of DR.. Groth
Barrough has been incapacitated from
attending to his duties as col.
lector, and that he has also suffered excru-
chatting pain. The plaintiff, therefore,
claims that he has been injured to the extent
of $4,000, and prays the court to grant him
that amount.

noon and Saturday night are lively times

| hurrying crowds. The market is the liveli-
est place in the city, and is crowded from
early in the morning until 10 O'Clock at
night with people laying in their Sundays
supplies.
The Ocean Steamship Company pays off
its army of hands Saturday, and during the

| Office waiting to receive their weeks wages.
| The cotton congresses pay of their en-
ployes on Saturday, and nearly all the
laborers on the wharves receive their pay
at the end of the week. Very respectable
amounts most of them draw, too. 1t can
safely be stated that nowhere else in the
state is the laboring man so well recon-
pensed for his work as on the river front in
Savannah.
The up-country "darky" would open his
eyes with astonishment at the wages paid
his fellows, and would look upon tho weekly
wages made by a 'header" as princely
fortune As for the longshoremen there Is

The employees of the strses railways can

to receive their gay, Besides the large cor
porations almost all small enterprises have
adopted Saturday as a pay day and the
large class Of white labor is usually paid of
on that day.
The banks are often Inconvenience to
supply the required amounts needed by en-
pIoyers, especially in change Of small denom-
nations, which is at premium
on Saturday. In this way many thousands
Of dollars are turned loose ia the city on
Saturday, and it is safe to say great por-
ton changes hands from one TO half dozen
times before midnight. The corner grocer
les do e big business, and the merchants
have large trade in small
amounts. The working man, and by
this term is meant all classes of
employees, believes in supplying his needs
Immediately, and there are many cracks
which 1t takes dollar to chink. The ma
jority of employees have pocketbooks filed
with an empty void by the middle Of the
week.
Savannah Is a gay town, the people be-
lieve in enjoying life, and money does not go
great ways with some people.
Saturday night is great institution day
and If every day was Saturday and the
next day Sunday what a world this
would be.

rHs crrY.s FOOD SUPPLY.

Inspector Deevergers Says There lie
But One Clean Stall In the Market
Inspector Desverge-s of the Citizens
Sanitary Association, in his report of in
spections of food produce for the week
ending last night. saws that dressed meats
Of ell kinds averaged excellent in quality
Dressed and live poultry, game, corned and
picked meats, pigs feet and tripe averaged
good; also, oysters, clans, crabs and shrimp
Fish averaged fair. Green vegetables and
green fruits inferior; dried vegetables good.
The inspector reports that the clerk Of
the market is making strenuous efforts TO
maintain Clearly conditions about the mar
ket house, and that the city market inspec-
tor keeps close watch upon produce now
exposed in it, but that any one will con-
vince himself OF the futility of these efforts
toward securing sanitary conditions by
a careful inspection OF the meat
benches after the clerk and his force have
expended their best efforts between market
hours in washing, scrubbing and scraping
them. There ia bat one thoroughly clean
butcher stall in the market house, and that
IS the one which has marble table behind
it; and likewise but one thoroughly clean
Dish stall, aud that with q similar table be-
hind it. Others Of wooden boards, with
wide, gaping seams and hacked cavities, are
filled with unsavory matter.
The inspector reports in reference to
drainage that the recent heavy rainfall
again demonstrated the inadequacy of the
city drains The low lands east, south
and west Of the city are covered with
storm water. He says that the capacity of
the city drains is diminished by the con-
slant treading of the soil back into them
by cattle pa tured upon the land by the
tenants and lesses of the municipality.
and as long as this exists the inhabitants of
Savannah may expect TO suffer the conse-
qrences Of malarial surroundings.
