THEY MUST RESIGN.
Roman Catholics Cannot Be Odd Fell

lows and knights of Pythias.
The papal decree admonishing Catho-
lies to avoid membership in the three
societies-the Odd Fellows. Sons of Tenn
perance and the Knights of Pythias-
will be read in the Catholic churches
next Sunday. Every one of these orders
has many Roman Catholics on its mem
bership lists, to whom there is now
a choice of two courses-either to give
up their church or to sever their connec-
ton with the societies.
The letter would probably have been
read yesterday but for the absence of
Bishop Becker from the city. Vicar Cen
eral Cafferty, who was seen at the bish-
ops residence, said the decree has been
received here. 1t was very brief, he said.
requiring members of the church to alb
stain from membership in the three So
cities named and requiring those who are
already members to withdraw on with
the penalty of being forbidden the sacra-
ments in case they should refuse to with
draw. The decree contains no criticism
of the societies and gives no explanation
of the reason for placing them under the
ban of the church. The matter, Father
Cafferty said, has been under discussion
in the councils of the church for some
time The question was referred to a
committee of cardinals. The committee
reported in favor of placing the socie-
ties under the ban. and the report was
sustained by the pope
Father Cafferty said he did not think
the decree would effect Savannah Catho-
lies to any great extent, as the Catholic
membership of the societies named is
very small here. The reason for the is
suance of such decree, Father CafTerty
said, was not so much that these socie-
ties are considered inimical to the Ro-
man Catholic church, as that the men,
bers of the societies on becoming such
are required to take oaths and assume
obligations that may conflict with their
duty to the church, and that the infiu-
ence exerted by them may result in draw
ing them away from the church.

The apparent mystery was the fact that

not that the pipes are frozen but that
there Is not seffieient pressure IN the

IN spite Of the fact that twice TIE usual

borrow money on his cotton crop before
or at least as soon as he puts it into
the ground. But there is no such Gre
ated demand for corn as there is for cot
ton, and very few, il any, are ready 10
lend out money on the prospects OF a
corn crop. 1t is true that corn is a specu-
lative product, but not to such an extent
rs is cotton, hence more people are
ready to make a reasonable advance on
a crop on which they are almost sure 10
realize something than on a crop which
has more uncertainties attached TO it."
There is room for much thought in this
talk, and if there is room for larger
profits in corn than cotton, there is
apparently no reason why the south
should not enter into active competition
with the west on this product.

He Is Anxious to Submit Report on &
Sewerage System for Savannah.
The securing by the state department,
through the efforts of Collector of Gus
toms Beckwith, of the consular reports on
the sewerage systems of the principal Eu-
ropean cities, with a view to aiding the
city council in the adoption of the most
approved system for Savannah, and the
publication in the Morning News of
synopsis of the reports, is arousing inter
est in proper system of house drainage
for the city.
Collector Beckwith is in receipt of a let
Ter from Dir George e. Waring, the emil
nent sanitary engineer, who submitted
to the city council in 1885 plan for n sys-
TEN with an outlet at Timber Landing
creek, in which he refers TO the recent
consular reports. He says: Il have been
constantly and most actively engaged in
sewerage work from that time QSS5) to this
and 1 have modified in some important
respects the ideas held when my plan for
Savannah was made. / shall be glad
therefore, when the time for discussion
comes, if only that l may put myself right
on the record, to look into the question
more closely than I have been able to do
IN recent years, and to present my views
10 the city authorities"
Collector Beckwith will submit Mr.. War
ings letter to the sanitary board at its
next meeting.
The securing of the reports on sewerage

kystems in use there has put the authori-
IN position to act more intelligently

THE REASON WHY

Prospects of Cotton Than of Corn

Crop.
A farmer who observes and takes note
of the signs of the times was speaking
yesterday of the comparative results of
the corn and cotton crops in this section
Of the country.
THE corn crop in the south and SOUTH
\ east" he said, ''is undoubtedly larger
this year than it has been In any year
since the war. The profit on corn raised
jim this section is from Is to 25 cents per
busheb depending on the circumstances
under (which it is raised.t 1t does not
cost any more to raice corn here than it
does IN the west, and when the western
corn comes down here with the cost of

commands more than double the price
that it costs toTaise it. While the SOUTH

ON ACCOUNT OF COLD WEATHER.
a Sunday School Celebration and a
Lecture That Did Not Come OF.


The St. Johns Sunday school celebra-
ton that was to have taken place last
night at the church was postponed on ac-
count of cold weather. 1t will be held next
Sunday night at 1880 o'clock. An elabo-
rate programme of music had been pre-
pared and the Christmas decorations were
left in the church.
Rabbi S. Raubin of San Francisco, Cal,
was to have lectured last night at the Ma
sonic temple on two subjects God and
Conscience" and Religion as Viewed by
Jew and Christian" but on account of the
cold weather, the audience was too small
to warrant the speaker in attempting to
deliver the lectures. He will be in the city
only a day or two longer. but on account
of the fact that the hall is leased for sew
eral weeks, he will not have an opportu-
nifty of delivering these lectures, on which
he has earned considerable reputation.
