SAVANNAH BRANCH GOES OUT.
President Townsend to be Investi

President Townsend to be Investi-
gated Again.
A very important meeting of Savannah
branch of the Southern Travellers Associa-
ton was held last night Charles s. Wood,
first vice president, presided. The resigna-
ton of G. B. Townsend as president of the
branch was accepted, he having recently
been elected president of the state associa-
ton.
Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed
over Mr.. Townsends alleged action in CIV
ing information to the railroad authorities
who recently applied to the railroad COM
mission for higher rates on lumber and
naval stores.
1t was the opinion of nearly every member
of the branch that Mr.. Townsend is seri-
ously affecting its interests. The following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The action of Mr.. C. B. Townsend,
president of the Southern Travellers Associa-
ton, in giving information to certain attorneys
representing railroad corporations, which infor-
nation is not alone inimical to the interest
of Savannah's commerce, but tends to the de-
struction of the influence and usefulness Of Sa-
vannth branch;
RESOLVED, That a committee of three be ap-
pointed to investigate this matter and report at
an adjourned meeting of the branch Saturday
night, June 6.
Resolved, Also, that the Savannah branch OF
the Southern Travellers Association withdraw
from the state organization until the committee
on investigation shall report.
Jake Strauss, David Robinson and A.
Pridgeon were appointed as committee of
Investigation.
Several designations were read through
the action of Mr.. Townsend, but action,
was withheld until after the investigation.
1t is expected that the meeting Saturday
night will be quite interesting.

monisl by Els Fellow Clerks.
The severing by J. W. Chandler of his
connection with the Savannah. Florida and

TEEN and affection for their fellow emplove

ployes OF the freight department gathered
In the front room of the office on Liberty

MIR. Chandler was escorted in from his
department, and Assistant Freight Agent
L. NJ. Habersham presented him with the
set OF china and the lamp on behalf of the

Mr.. Habersham's speech was short, but
full of meaning. He dwelt upon the
uniform kindness and Consideration
shown by Mr.. Chandler to
those in his charge and all associated
with him during his long connection with
the department, and his unfailing justice to
his fellow employees upon all occasions. By
this means Mr.. Habersham said he had won

with emotion and returned his thanks in a
few words.
He has been with the Savannah freight
