pooLER IN POLITICS.
~,o Little Town is Lively With Two
Parties.


'N Parties.

Nc !. Demerse of Savannah, accompa-
.inJ nv her niece, Miss Mamie Dacey, spent
vsrv enjoyable viEit to the home of Mrs.
rank McDermott last week.
Richard T. Turner Lodge No. 116, f. and
n will hold an interesting communica-
tion next Wednesday, at which W. NJ.
lanes Newton expects to see every mem
Der
lanes Dooner and family, who have been
rssidinR at the 15-mile post, have moved to
pooler and have taken part of Mr.. Henry
BSstock's house. Mr.. Dooner. will make
this place his permanent home.
The Pooler Rifle Club will hold its regu-
lar monthly meeting next Wednesday
P.asidsnt Christian hopes TO see large at
tendance. as matter of Importance will be
Sronght before the club for considera-
ton.
Postmaster Jones will soon be in his new
oostofice, as he expects to have it COM
Slated in a few days. The location of the
66fice could not have been better selected,
sIthough it looks like an Office in wood
yard.
The many Pooler friends of popular Con-
ductor John Brannen learned with regret
NJ his serious accident on the Sam run last
week aud earnestly hope that it will not be
long ere he will be at his accustomed place
on bis train.
During a thunder storm at Bloomingdale
last Thursday lightning struck tree and
killed thres cows which were near the tree.
When 1t commenced to rain the COWS took
shelter under the tree and had been there
some time when the tree was struck. MIR.
Fisher owned two and Mr.. Garvin one Of
them.
Justice Bevans having decided to give up
the office of magistrate for the Eighbh dis
trict when his term expires next January
d. L. jackson has come into the field aud
will ask the support of all the voters IN the
Eighth. There is no man III the Eighth
who could better fill the position and there
is no doubt about the ''b-hoys" rallying to
the support of their Daniel. They'd elect
him to the Office. .-.
give an entertainment at Patters "a hall
for the benefit OF its uniform fund, and
from reports received it will be grand sue
cess, financially and otherwise. Tableaux
and charades will be given by prominent
Pooler misses, and probably an exhibition
drill by the company. Capt. Marshall is
highly eated at the manner 10 which tho
members have taken hold of the entertain
ment and says it will certainly be a succ-
cess.
Pooler is getting to be political town, in
every sense of the word. Joseph B. New
ton and Dave l.. Christian are members Of
the democratic executive committee of
Chatham county; Dan Q. Newton is one OF
the leading lights Of the third party; ID. l.,
jackson is president of the Democratic
Campaign Club; George W. Gruver is a
dele cate to the third party convention to
TO be held IN Savannah next Wednesday,
and Hamp J. Herb is secretary OF the third
party Of Chatham county. ID. l.. jackson
will reorganize his club and put it in fight
ing trim in a few days, and there is no
doubt that when the time comes for voting
the third party In the Eighth district will
prove very small item.
II the project Of MIR. Henry McAlpin to
build winter hotel at the Hermitage suc-
ceeds, the chances Of Pooler having an cleo
trio road to Savannah will be brighter than
ever. With cars running to the hermitage
it would not be a very difficult matter to
run them to Pooler. The right Of way
could be easily secured, and there are sew
eral land owners in and around Pooler who
would do great deal toward building the
road. There is no doubt that the road
would be paying investment, as there are
quite a number of settlements which it
could tap and do large business. The i'm
mense traffic on the Electric road since its
Thunderbolt branch was finished is an evil
dence as to what the Pooler road would do,
The incorporation OF Pooler still contin-
ues to be subject of comment among q
large number of our citizens, and it is Ia
timated by some that a bill will be intro
duced in the next legislature asking that it
be Incorporated. Some of the citizens fear
that to incorporate would ruin them, but
such IS not the case. Taxation could be
made very light. and the benefits derived
would more than repay them for the OUT
lay. Parties who own vacant lots and who
never improve them ould be made to bear
their pro rata OF keeping the town in a first
class sanitary condition. The population OF
the place Is increasing az such rate that
sanitary measures will have to be- adopted
and, to make 1t equal upon all, the place
Will have TO be Incorporated. Several peo-
PIE who own valuable lots in Pooler refuse
10 put out cent toward their draihags,
OUT expect those who live in the town to do
tne work and bear all the expense, which is
not Just or fair. With a thoroughly organ
lzed corps OF ditchers everything could be
put IN tirst-class condition, and the citi-
zsns could then point with pride to their
streets
