SONS OF THE ELECT FALL OUT
The Money in the Treasurer's Hand:
Not Accounted for.

The Money in the Treasurer's Hands
Not Accounted for.
The Independent Order of the Sons of the
Elect are in peck of trouble, which they
tried to dissipate in Justice Naughtins
court yesterday. The society is one of the
many beneficial societies among the colored
people, and it is divided amoug its mem
bers on matters Of finance, which is not of
uncommon occurrence in societies of this
character.
B. J. Notice, chairman OF the finance
committee Of the Sons of the Elect, sued out
a possessor warrant for the books of the
society, in the hands of NJ. ID. Jones, the
secretary, and for $53, money alleged to be
in the hands of w. II. Gibbs, the treasurer,
and not accounted for. The court heard a
host of witnesses, and reserved decision un
til to-day. Thos S. Morgan, Jr., brought
the suit for plaintiffs, and w. E. Morrison
appeared for the defendants.
The plaintiff claims that while the dues
have been collected with charming regu-
larity, no deposits have been made in ban
since last December, when So 80 was de-
posted. 1t appeared in the trial of the
cause that the chairman of the finance COM
mittee has $50 deposited to his credit, and
that and the IS IS, from present appear
ances, is about all that will be saved to
the society, and from which must come
court costs and attorneys fees, SO that the
Sons of the Elect will not have any con-
siderable surplus by the time the legal war
is over

PHOSPHATE IN LIBERTY COUNT Y
Farmer Axtell of Fleming Thinks He
Has Struck 1t.

John Axtell, planter living at Fleming,
Liberty county, on the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway twenty-four miles
from Savannah, was in the city yesterday
with gripsack full of samples of what he
was positive was pure phosphate. The
samples were exactly in appearance like a
sample sent him from Florida, and Mr..
Axtell was not a whit discouraged when
Mr.. W. Pringle Frost, the chemist and
phosphate expert, informed him that the
samples were carbonate of lime.
Mr. Frost showed Mr.. Axtell some OF the
pure creamy colored Florida phosphate, and
Mr.. Axtell at once remarked that he had
plenty of that on his place, but didn't think
it was worth anything. He proposes to
bring a different sample down the next
time.
To q MORNING NEWS reporter Mr.. Ak
tell said that the country in his section at
the head of Sunbury river, between its
branches of Midway. Jericho ana Limerick
creeks is underlaid with a stratum similar
to the white rock or Florida phosphate
shown him by MIR. Frost. Mr.. Axtell says
that this deposit is found at distances vary
| ing from three 10 eight feet from the sur
| face. In putting down well, he says,
| after excavating eight feet he had to blast
| for a distance of twenty-one feet. The de-
post, which he is now confident corresponds
| to the so per cent Florida phosphate, Mr..
| Axtell says underlies 100 acres Of his
| place.
The carbonate of lime, which he supposed
| to be phosphate. he says has been used with
excellent results as a fertilizer by himself
and neighboring farmers. He says that
neighbor of his has virtually no crop where
he used guano and splendid crops where the
| local fertilizer was used.
Mr.. Axtell says he has been using it in a
crude way, first roasting it aud then
pounding it into small particles. The effect
on potato patch, he says, was to cause the
| patch to run to vines as high as ones waist,
thus detracting from the SIZE of the tubers.
Mr.. Frost is not inclined to think that
Mr.. Axtell will find phosphate where
carbonate of lime is found, such as Mr..
Axtell brought to the city yesterday.
The people in the neighborhood Of Flem-
ing, however, share Mr. Axtell's confidence
and if their hopes are realized land in that
section will take on Il boom equal to that in
the phosphate fields of Dunnellon, Fla. the
| topography of which country closely Pc
sembles the country outlying Fleming.

THE FEDERAL ELECTION BILL.
The Board OF Trades Vigorous Pro
test Against the Measure.

bCbb ak6il4sL Il4S dodSuIos
Pursuant to notice the board of trade met
at II O'Clock yesterday morning. and in a
conservative set of resolutions appealed TO
congress not TO pass the federal election bill
for reasons which are tersely embodied IN
the resolutions.
The meeting was called to order by the
president, l. g. Haas, who briefly stated its
object. Ex-President John r. Young, of
the firm of Ellis, Young a. Co., offered the
following resolutions, which were seconded
by J. A. g. Carson of j. p. Williams &
Co, and were unanimously adopted:
The board of trade of Savannah. Ga, desire
20 express a respectful but earnest protest
against the passage OF the federal election bill
Removed as it is from the sphere of party poll
tics, uninfiuenced as is its action save by those
considerations which equally affect the welfare
and advancement OF every section OF the coun-
try, we address this appeal TO the patriotic
consideration Of the congress and the people OF
the union.
We are persuaded that no good can result
from this proposed legislation, and we know
that manifold and intolerable evils will attend
its enforcement. II viii accentuate the bitter
ness and intensity the strain OF political con
troversy. 1t will appeal TO passions that should
be composed. and it will arouse preJudices that
should be buried forever. 1t will disturb pubic
confidence, bring disquietude TO the business
world. retard investments, demoralIze labor,
depreciate values embarrass the growth OF in
dustral enterprises all over the land, and IL
will arrest, as nothing else can, those impulses
of progress and prosperity that are being felt
In every state and territory OF the union
The country needs peace and quietude, and
surcease from needless political agitation, and
harmony and confidence between all classes, in
terests and sections, and the people demand
that legislation be free from all causes of irrita
ton, arrangement and strife; wherefore it is
ResOiUed, That the foregoing be adopted as
the sense of this board Of trade, and that all
commercial, industrial, trade and labor organ
izations and farmers alliances throughout the
union be and they are hereby urged to take
similar action, and that the newspapers of this
city and the press generally be and they are
hereby requested to publish the foregoing.
On motion of Mr.. Carson it was decided
to telegraph a synopsis Of the appeal to
Hon. r. +. Lester, congressman from this
district.
1t was decided to print copies of the docu-
ment for distribution among the business
men of this city, to be by them forwarded
with their correspondence to the CONNER
cial houses Of the north with whom they
trade. Copies are also to be furnished to
the senators and representatives IN congress
from this state, which was suggested by
Mr.. G.. Lucien Jones.

The temperature yesterday was generally
lower throughout the South Atlantic states
than it has been for several days-not by
any means cool, but few degrees below the
the result of local thunder-storms through
out the South Atlantic states.
Sayannahs maximum temperature yes
terday was go. The minimum was 7ls,
and the mean sos, which was 80 below the

cooled off the atmosphere considerably, and
the early forenoon and late afternoon were

were the pleasantest nights for the last three
weeks.

reached during the month was $50, which
is within two degrees Of the highest ever
recorded in June. While the mean temper
allure for the month is only one degree
above the average mean temperature for
the last eighteen years, the heat
was more severely felt because the hot
spell succeeded a spell of unusually
cool weather, which reduced the mean tenn
perature. Since June Is there have been
but three or four days that the mercury has
not been above 90s, and most Of the time 1t
has been considerably above that mark.

THE NEW ARTRsIAN WELLS.
The Drilling to Begin This Week on
TWO Ten-Inch Wells.


Two Ten-Inch Wells.
James Mulligan, who has been awarded
the contract for boring two ten-inch artesan
wells on the water works tract, is getting
the derrick in place preparatory to be-
ginning active work. The rains and the hot
spell have combined to delay the prepara-
tions. The casing is expected to arrive to-
day, and Supt. Manning says it is expected
to have the drill going before the end of the
week
The wells are TO be put down on the land
recently under lease TO Mr.. Exley and on a
north and south line with the water works
building, and on a line with the greater
part Of the wells now in use, as it has been
pretty thoroughly established that the sub
terranean flow of the artesian water is from
west to east, and wells sunk east and west
of the north and south line, parallel with
the present wells do not show favorable
results. Alderman Carson says that it was
necessary to plug up two such wells, as they
unfavorably affected one of the line wells.
