WON'T HAVE FAST TIME.
A Majority OF the Aldermen Now o
posed to change.

a Majority OF the Aldermen Now OPP
posed to a Change.
Savannah will probably continue to have
SUM time for some time to come. Last
week it was thought from the manner in
which the aldermen expressed themselves
that a ma jority favored the adoption of 18th
meridian time, but either these conclusions
were drawn too fast about their opinions on
the proposed faster time or else they have
changed their minds since.
Now it Is believed the majority of the
board is the other way, and believes if
Central standard or Goth meridian time
cannot be worked here satisfactorily no
benefit would accrue by adopting any other
meridian.
Alderman Carson, author of the ordi-
nance, said that the reason he did not press
it to a vote Wednesday night and asked for
a postponement was because Aldermen
Bailey and Myers stated III caucus they had
not made up their minds how 20 vote, If
he had allowed the ordinance to go TO a vote
Alderman Carson believes 1t would have
been defeated, aud he thinks the probabil..
titles are it will be defeated at the next
meeting.
Alderman Bailey, on whose account AL
derman Carson said he asked for a post
ponement, told a MORNING NEWS reporter
yesterday that he would have voted against
the ordinance, and believes all the other al
dermen present, except Alderman Carson
would have voted the same way. Alder
man Bailey practically admitted that he
will vote against tho ordinance when it is
brought up for consideration.

WHEELMEN EAT OYSTERS.

The Savannah Clubs Run to Thun-
derbolt and Supper Last NlghG
The Savannah wheelmsn inaugurated the
fall bicycling season with a club run to
ThundeTbolt last night and a supper at Mrs.
Bannon's. The members met at the De
Soto at o'clock. President Richmond set
the pace and the run over the shell road was
a delightful one. Supper was served at 9
O'Clock and an enjoyable hour was spent.
The proposed race track was discussed in
formally with view to securing some def
mite action at an early date. There is no
doubt now, from the manner in which the
track question has been taken hold of, that
it will be only matter Of "A short time
when tt will be built. A track is the prin-
clpal thing needed now to make cycling in
Savannah what it ought to be and what it
Is In the leading cycling centers.
President Richmond visited some Of the
leading tracks north during his recent trip
through Maryland. Pennsylvania and New
York and obtained data which will he of
value in equipping a track here
The members of the club who discussed
the matter ct last nights run and supper
are enthusiastic, and definite steps will be
taken at once toward locating and building
the track.
After the supper at Mrs. Bannon's some
OF the wheelmen visited the Tivoli garden
and returned to the city at II o'clock. The
next club event will be the Thanksgiving
races and dinner.

SEARCHING OUT BAD PLACES.

Sanitary Inspector Desvergers Gives
the City inspectors a Few Pointers.
Inspector Desvergsrs Of the Citizens SAM
tary Association appears to be more vigil
liant in behalf Of the city's health than the
city's paid inspectors. He succeeded this
week, after several efforts, in bringing the
attention of the health department to the
condition Of the cellar of the building at
the southwest corner Of Drayton aud Bay
street lane.
An extremely unpleasant odor has been
very perceptible IN that nelghborhood for
some tin 1t was located yesterday. Ex-
animation showed the stencil to come from
the cellar under the building, the exis, ence
of which was UNKNOWN to most of the oc-
cupsnts Of the building, as the cellar has
not been used for years.
One OF the sanitary inspectors accompa-
MED Mr.. Desvergers to the cellar, which
was found to be in an extremely filthy con
dition. The stencil arising from the filth
was such that the odorless exoavating ap-
paratus was brought to bear upon it and
several barrels Of filth were removed.
Inspector Desvergers also had John Fee
ley q Sons old stables on Bryan street put
on the docket for being in an unsanitary
condition, and the case will come up before
the mayor this morning.
There are any number Of filthy cellars in
the business portion OF the city that are i'll
need Of attention. In passing through
Bryan street at night the stencil from some
OF them is enough to almost knock man
down. II few heavy fines were imposed
upon property owners there might be less
cause for complaint on this score

THE RAIN AND TIE DROPS.
The Condition Of Affairs in the Eas tern
and Western Sections OF the State.

J The Condition Of Affairs in the Eas tern
and Western Sections OF the State.
This portion OF the state has suffered
severely during the last week from rain.
The weather conditions in the west
ern portion of the state, however,
we're very favorable There was, accord
ing TO the state weather bureau reports,
| generally fair weather with about an
average temperature. Cotton picking has
progressed satisfactorily 10 the northern aid
| western counties, but in the south aud east
has been delayed by the continued rains.
/ The quality OF that picked during the past
! week in the western counties Is said TO be
fine.
The bolls are nearly opened throughout
| the southern half OF the state, and in many
counties more than half the crop has been
/ picked and is on its way to market. Some
/ fields, indeed, are nearly cleared up. The
average condition OF the crop is somewhat
/ lower han last week. Owing to the ex
| cessive rainfall there Is considerable stain
| ing and some rotting OF cotton In the boil in
the eastern aud southern districts. In many
instances it is sprouting, especially the sea
island variety. As picking advances, the
| shortage in the crop becomes more evident
and at generous estimate there will NOS be
over three-rourJhs OF the last years yield.
There are indications Of a very light top
| crop,
Corn 10 being gathered in all except north
ern counties and is ready for gathering in
the latter. The rainy weather in the east
and south has caused occasional rottlnR in
the ear, but the crop Is decidedly above that
of last year in all sections. Some early
planting on dry lands was so much injured
by the drought Of the early summer that It
has never fully recovered. In the north
west section the loWland corn Is not so COED
as that on uplands. But on the average the
crop, while hardly what IS was at one time
expected is more than an average one. An
exceptionally large crop Of fodder corn OK
excellent quality has been housed.
A large crop OF rice is nearly matured.
The heavy rains Of the past week in the rice
districts have beaten it down some and
there is danger of It's sprouting in the field.
With a few days Of favorable weather a
heavy yield will be secured.
The crops OF cane, sorghum and tobacco
are all reported in fourishiug condition.
Syrup making Is in progress.
The condition of the vegetable crops in
the northern and western sections is excel
lent and good yields are promised. In the
southern and eastern sections some injury
has been occasioned by rain. Potatoes, IN
these districts are rotting to some extent,
especially on lowlands. Pease, fair crop of
which is being gathered, have also suffered
from the wet weather. But the same rain has
brought up late paintings OF turnips and
other vegetables.
In northern counties the sowing Of fall
oats and rye is beginning. There is a hope
full indication that the acreage to be put in
will be greater still than last year, with
the result of still larger diminution Of the
cotton acreage.

The Busch Zouaves have started their
hard work, and are now drilling four times
week to be in good trim for their trip to
Macon next month.

WHAT THE SOUTH BOUNDS DOING.

The Road Being Equipped for the Big
Business By It's Florida Connection.
The first six Of the seventy-fve ventilated
cars for the South Bound railroad, which
are being built by the Ohio Falls Car Com
pany, were sent forward yesterday. Six
cars will be delivered daily until the order
is filed.
The two locomotives ordered for the South
Bound from the Richmond (Va.) locomo-
tive works will be ready for inspection
Oct. 10.
A meeting Of the stockholders Of the Sa-
vannah Construction Company, for the pur-
pose of ratifying the lease of the South
Bound to the Florida Central and Peninsular
railroad, will he held in this city Oct. 10.
The stockholders OF the lessee company
have already ratified the lease.
The station, house and siding at Myers,
seventy-two miles from Savannah, on the
South Bound. has been moved to Ulmer,
about three-fourths Of a mile distant. The
reason for the change is that the company
was unable to obtain good titles to the sta
ton site at Myers The citizens Of Ulmer
bore all the expenses of moving the ware
house and tracks, and donated the land
necessary for their location.

that the city, state and county

millions Tammany had been given the
cold shoulder by Cleveland aud IL had no
reason to expect anything from him in case

Naturally it put IN its ticks for the

The election is confined TO the national

cannot give them the credit If he carries
