WANT A NO FENCE Law.
Property Owners on the Coast Islands
Petition the Legi stature.


The property owners on Wilmington Is
land and other coast islands as well. want
a no fence law. petition has been
forwarded to Chatham county's repre-
sentatives in the legislature asking that a
bill be passed to allow one or more of the
sea islands, be in a part of a militia
district, to vote on fence or no fence
the same as If they comprised a whole
militia district
The petition is signed only by the prop
erty owners and residents of Wilmington
Island. There are seventy-two signatures,
fifty-five of which are of property owners.
OF the residents, ten are white and seven
colored. OF the whites nine are employed
at the oyster factory The petition in
cludes practically everybody on the is
land except two or three.
The purpose of the petitioners is of
course, to secure the no fence law for
Wilmington Island 1t would be impossi-
BILE to secure the enactment of a special
law for that island, so a general law is
asked for covering all of the coast islands.
Wilmington Island is part of the Fifth
militia district, which includes Thunder
bolt, and under the present law fence
or no fence election would have to be for
the entire district. 1t is deemed unadvisa-
BILE to petition for an election under these
circumstances. The scarcity of fence wood
on the islands and inability under the
present law, and condition of affairs to
raise crops on account of the running at
large of stock have made the enactment
of a no fence law necessary to the devel-
opment and prosperity of the coast islands.

BACON MEN HAPPY.
The senator-to-Be Has Many Admirers
in Savannah.


The announcement Of the nomination of
Hon. A. o. Bacon on the first ballot of the
democratic caucus Of the Georgia legis-
lature yesterday afternoon created some
what of a surprise here. It had been gener-
ally conceded by Turner men and every
body else that Bacon easily had the lead
and that unless there was a break in his
following his election might be considered
assured, but they thought or rather hoped
he would not be nominated on the first
ballot and that proracted fight might
result favorably to their man.
1t was strange though just how many
men knew what the result was going to be
and had predicted it all the time, that is
they said they had after the news of Mai.
Bacon's success was received. The follow
ing is the style of cOny ersation that could
be heard all over the streets last night:
Say. did you hear the news?'
mo, what is it?"
Bacon was nominated on the first bal
lot"
You don't say so"
Yes, got 80 votes"
well, that's just what I expected all
along"
All the same there were very few bets
that were won on Bacon. As matter of
fact, the people of Savannah, generally,
are very favorabIy disposed toward Maj.
Bacon. While Turner was the choice of
the large majority. Mai. Bacon has many
warm friends here who were very much
pleased to hear of his success, and who
predicted a brilliant career for him in the
Senate. Not single harsh or unfriendly
criticism Of the senat tor-to-be, was heard,
and the feeling toward Mai. Bacon here
is evidently altogether friendly
4 number of tplaprams of era tula-
tion were sent Maj. Bacon from Savannah
last night There are many citizens of
Savannah who ardently supported Mai
Bacon in his memorable contest for the
governorship against Gen. Gordon eight
years ago. Many of them have never
felt quite reconcileC to the manner in
which their candidate was swept aside
in the popular burst of enthusiasm for
Gen. Gordon, and 1t was a very pleasant
reflection indeed to them last night that
their former leader had now reached the
goal of his ambition.
Hon. S. G.. McLendOn of Thomasville
arrived in the city yesterday morning
from Atlanta, where he spent several days
in conference with the members of the
general assembly in the interest of Hon
Henry G. Turner. Mr.. McLendon. in
speaking with a Morning News reporter
during the morning, admitted that there
was very little prospect of Mr.. Turner's
election, and that Bacon's nomination was
practically assured.
Turner is my man. of course" said Mr..
McLendon, "and I firmly hold to the
opinion that he is the man for senator.
feel very friendly personally towards
Maj. Bacon, however. He is an able man,
and will represent Georgia in the Senate
with credit to himself and the state.

TO SELL THE KNITTING MILL.
The Management to Dispose of the
Property.

The Management to Dispose of the
Property.
The mana cement of the Pulaski Knit
ting Mills is negotiating to sell the plant
to be removed to another city. The mills
closed down some time ago on account of
the financial depression. The panic is
now over and trade is improving and there
is general regret that the property should
be sold.
The company owns one-third of the
patent on the best automatic knitting ma
chine for mems hose, that has ever been on
the market. The other two-thirds are
owned by two Of the largest knitting
mills in the country and each has over 300
machines in successful opera tion, making
the best half hose in the market, and find
ing a ready sale for all their product.
The Savannah plant is equipped in the
best manner, and all the machinery is
new and in perfect order, ready to start
on a days notice.
tt would be a misfortune TO have this
plant removed from Savannah. 1t gave
employment to about 50 women and girls
and distributed a great deal Of money ir
the city 1t would take but a moderate
amount Of capital and some one may
take hold Of It yet, and make it a success
ful enterprise.

TO PREVENT TYPHOID FEVER.
An Interesting Report by the Washing.
ton NJ edioal Soc ETY..

ton Medlcal SOC ETY..
United States Marine Hospital Surgeon
Nydegger is in receipt of the report by
the Medical society Of the District Of Col
bia to the congressional committee for the
district on typhoid fever in Washington
The report is Of especial interest to sa-
vannahians and is worthy of note.
The society finds that typhoid increases
in proportion to the saturation of the soil
with decomposing organic matter and to
the drinking of infected well water, but de-
creases in proportion as a city is well sew
cred and uses only pure drinking water.
The lowest mortality from typhoid is in
England and Germany, where expert en-
gineering has been freely employed in
sewering the chief towns and cities.
The abandonment of all wells and pumps
publication of the sewerage system all
ready existing by replacing as rapidly as
possible all damaged or defective drains,
extension Of the sewerage to all parts of
the city and other measures to prevent
soil contamination are therefore recon-
mended. Careful inspection of all dairies
from which the milk supply is drawn and
the enactment of a law to prohibit the
sale of milk without a permit of the
health Office are also proposed.
The report is illustrated with a series OF
maps showing in detail and statistically
the development of typhoid fever
both in this country and in the large cities
of Europe. In view of the recent artesiau
water supply which Savannah has OBJ
tanned and the proposed sewerage system
to which the city is committed, the report
is of much interest and value to those
interested in the health and welfare OF
the city.

DUCK HUNTERS KNOCKED OUT.
Fewer Ducks at This Season of the
Year Than Ever Known.

Ward Allen says the duck famine is on.
The amateur hunters are disgusted, and
the professionals are demoralized. In his
fifteen years Of professional cunning, AL
len says he never knew the ducks to be so
scarce at this season of the year. In a
recent trip, after securing over eighty-hve
miles of territory, he came across nine
ducks, all of which he killed and all of
which were of a different species
Allen added facetously that they were
the advance agents Of duck delegation
In Canada, and came south to prospect for
the best feeding grounds and the poorest
hunters, and doubtless their prolonged abb
sence from headquarters will cause much
worry and anxiety and the general south
ern flight will hold back many Of which
VIII doubtless never care to wander from
their own hreside.
