cHATHAm's MEMBERS ON HAND.
Representatives Guerard and Doolan
off For Atlanta.

OAA = VI n IADshbas
Representatives Guerard and Doolan
left last night for Atlanta, TO be on the
ground for the opening of the legislature
tomorrow. Mr.. Osborne will so up to-
day.
Representative Guerard said yesterday
there is a tremendous amount of bust
ness TO come up at this session. He Is
very much in favor of the bill TO give the
police court Jurisdiction in gambling,
carrying concealed weapons and vagrancy
cases, and believes that such a law would
effect a much needed reform.
Another thing that Mr.. Guerard is very
much in favor of is a state registration
law which will fix the question Of regis
tratiOn for once and all. He says he much
prefers a state registra ton law TO local
law, but if a state law can not be secured
he favors the ideas ser forth in Mr..
Osborne's municipal election bill.
Il think a state law will be passed
though" he said. There seems to be
a general sentiment in favor of such
law. All the important states
now have systems Of election
and registration, commonly known
as Australian, which are recognized as
great improvements upon the old free and
easy style of conducting elections. Amy
measure which will do away with the
IIduu anu corruption now so common III
our elections will be a great improvement
upon our present system"
Mr.. Guerard is opposed to the present
dual system of registration, which re-
quires a voter to register twice in a few
months, once for the city election and
once for the county election. He thinks
one registration should be sufficient for
all elections held within two years.
The editorial in the MORNING News
this morning on the subject
of registration meets my ideas
exactly" said Mr.. Guerard. "The
Rhode Island plan seems the proper one.
Any man who has property is compelled
to pay his taxes, whether he registers or
not There is no reason why his name
should not be transferred TO the registry
list when his taxes are paid and kept
there as long as he pays his taxes. There
is no necessity for him to come up and
register every time an election is to be
held, when he has property out of which
his taxes can be collected"
Mr.. Guerard is Unalterably opposed to
the state appropriating money to the sup
port of the branch colleges. He says
these branch colleges are only high
schools, and that the state should 1estab-
lish one in every county or none at all.
He believes in properly supporting the
state university and in giving all the
money possible to the common schools,
but he does not think the state has the
right to appropriate money for the sup
port of few institutions which are of
benefit to only limited sections of the
State

fine in the police court yesterday morn

Rosa Days aud Mary Jenkins got into a
difficulty in Yamacraw yesterday morn
ing, which was finally settled by the
hurry up wagon being called and both of
them escorted to the barracks. Mary
Jenkins had just recovered from a severe
sickness, and she was jumped on by the
Days woman, who stamped her into in
sensibility. For a while she lay on the
floor of the station house, and it was
thought that she could not recover from
her injuries. She was apparently all
right yesterday afternoon, however, and
she was put into cell, where she lay and
groaned until after night fall

HOW THE oLEARINas STAND.
Savannah's Increased Percentage
Still Way Up on the List.

sun w dy u Oh Cl6 LlBLs
The increased percentage of the Savan-
nah clearings for last week over the same
week of last year was 1913. > per cent. For
several weeks past Savannah has taken
the lead in the increased percentage of
clearings for the week over the same
week of last year, and she still stands
practically at the head.
Last week however, the little town of
EmpOria, Kan, made a big stride and
recorded an increase of 400 per cent.
Emporias clearings, however, are very
small, as compared with those of Savan-
nah, which is ahead in these percentages
of all other cities in the United States.
The other cities which show an increase
for the same period are Houston, Tex,
Isl, Hartford, Conn, So, Waco, Tex,
1877, Binghamton, SO aper cent, and Cal
weston 16.5. New York still shows n
largely decreased percentage, as do all
other cities in the United States, with
the exceptions mentioned above.

the s., F. and w. Cotton Wharf.

Solomon Jackson andPeter Bragg are
in the barracks for fighting on the Savan-

are two genuine negroes, and the fight be-
tween them grew out of nothing as usual,
butresulted in both of them getting hurt
pretty badly.
They were hauling cotton to the
wharves yesterday afternoon, and at the
time both of them were working at the
same dray. A dispute arose as to how
far the mules should be made to back, and
to decide 1t Bragg jumped at jackson and
cut him across the head with a cotton
hook
jackson then whipped out a belt knife
and made lunge at his adversary, cutting
him badly in the side. Both were lodged
in the barracks, and they may be turned

And He Has Married n Girl.

Augustus Colhen, OF Toronto, Ohio
who has lived there for year.
as Sally Stringer, wearing woman's
clothes, and being accepted by every
one rs a woman, was married on the 5tl
to Mary Brinkman, who came
there three months ago from Quincy
Ill. Colhen has delicate features and
no beard. No unusual comment was
ever passed on him, save that he was
unusually fond, for girl, of the So
ciety of girls.
w. T. Stringer, Colhen's uncle, who
took out the marriage license, said
that he had known that Colhen was
not woman only short while. He
was on the church roll as Sally
Stringer, and for that reason the pas
tor, the Rev. Mr.. Weir, refused to
perform the marriage ceremony.
The bride and bridegroom met and
loved at Columbus. Ohio, where Col.
helm was undergoing treatment in a
hospital and Miss Brinkman was
nurse. They will make their home in
st. Louis.
The bridegroom still wears woman's
clothes. A committee called on the
bridegroom for an explanation. 1t is
reported that in answer to questions
the bridegroom went upstairs and

Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, is
financier after the Populists' own
heart. What we need is new
standard of value" says Mr.. Edison.
al think that the best dollar could be
made out OF compressed wheat. You
take bushel OF wheat and sqeeze the
water out OF it, and then compress il
into a hard cake the size of silver
dollar aud stamp the government
mark upon it. That would represent
the actual value and labor performed,
and then you could eat your dollar,
for when you wanted to use your
wheat all that would be necessary
would be to put your money to soak.
We should then have bushel of
wheat as a permanent unit of value,
which all the farmers would appreciate,
and the currency of the country
would represent actual worth and
labor performed. Both gold and
silver could then be dispensed with,
and the present bi-metalic problem
solved"
And there you are. Squeeze the
water out OF wheat, stamp the cake
with the government mark, and there
you are. II you want more money do
more squeezing. If you want more
bread do more soaking. And there
you are.
Edison, the wizard ef Menlo Park,
has solved the financial problem.
Edison has thrown the incandescent
light of his genius upon the money
question and all is clear as day.
"Our (wheaD currency" says the
wizard, "would be as good as gold or
silver in foreign exchange, for our
wheat goes to all the countries of the
world"
Now, what could be. palmer than
that? Here you have your wheat in
bulk. You owe England a hundred
million dollsrs. You squeeze your
wheat, and stamp it and send it over
in flat boats to England. And there
you are again. England might say to
be sure, that she didn't want wheat
currency, but what OF that. You Just
speak the word and the flat boats sail
for Germany or Italy where they need
wheat. Then you sail up the Rhine
or the Tiber and soak the wheat cur.
rency until yon have millions and
millions of wheat cakes ready ior the
griddle. You sell the wheat cakes for
gold or silver, and there you are.
Wheat cakes are best with maple
syrup and so we could develop that
great Vermont industry, and the
suger naples Of all New England
would bleed and bleed and bleed.
i nv hioiO Witdb CHkeS the more
maple syrup. What grand concep-
ton! What a noble plan! All, that
Edison is wonder, sir, yes, wonder?
How truly Mr.. Edison speaks when
he says that this wheat dollar would
be the farmers dollar - the wheat
farmers dollar. But the corn farmer
and the hop farmer and the cotton
farmer and the beat farmer and the
potato farmer-where do these gentle
men come in? All, we fear that the
wizard is a wheat bug, we see in this
proposition the most pronounced evil
dence OF wheat-bug conspiracy.
Give us free coinage OF hops, free
coinage of oats and free coinage of
cedar logs, or we OF Western Washing
ton will wade in blood aye, even to the
horses brides.

Harold Frederick's letter of the Sth
to the n. y. Times from London saws
Last week it seemed as il the story
then being told OF disaster and famine
that was desolating the whole broad
counties OF industrial England was as
bad as anything possibly could be in
the existing state of civilization.
Moreover, there appeared to be no
hopeful streaks of light in the sky.
But to-day we are on the threshold of
the eleventh week of this unparalleled
calamity and not only are the heavens
blacker than ever, but distress is
multiplying itself like a malignant
outbreak of cholera after a rainfall.
1t is said now that fully 100000 men,
women and children in Lancashire
alone are dependent from meal to
meal on public charity, which would
bring the whole army up to a million
The relief measures which are led
by two radical London papers. at last
are beginning to show signs of success,
but they are still ridiculously incom-
mensurate with the gravity of the aw.
full crisis.
A little more than $4,000 only has
been raised thus far in London, al.
though several columns are devoted
daily to strenuous appeals,
Miss Willard's donation OF her watch,
Zola's gift of f2 and John Dillon's G1
get talked about, but OF organized help
from the non-advertising public there
is melancholy lack.
Doubtless, however, these will come
in good order. Attending this vast
social convulsion it continues to be
the most remarkable feature of it all
in all Lancashire, where $4,000 have
been idle ever two months, not 10
police court cases have arisen. At
several points where, in an earlier
panic. bodies OF extra police were
drafted in, strange constables have
been employed so cook and serve
meals at improvjsed kitchens.
