TIE Salvation Army, says the San
Francisco Argonaut, is gradually
winning the respect OF the com
munity. Its methods are certainly
peculiar. 1t is not entirely admir-
able, in our opinion, that religious
worship should be accompanied by
discordant singing, cracked tam
bourlnes, and dropsical bass-drums.
But, while we do not admire some OF
the methods Of the Salvation Army,
we cannot help but admire the
results. This body of women and
men seems to be earnest and honest,
and unselfshly engaged in the doing

A Demurrer to the Indictment
Against Kolshorn Argued.
The indictment against Charles Kol-
shorn, charging him with operating a
gaming device known as a slot machine
was taken up in the city court yesterday
afternoon and demurrer to the bill, filed
by w. r. Leaken, Esq, representing the
defendant was argued.
MIR. Leaken held that MIR. Kolshorn was
not guilty of operating gaming device las
there was no operator or manipulation of
the machine, which was an inanimate OBJ
ject and worked itself. 1t was, he held,
like an indictment of former days in rem,
against the thing. He held also that il
was not specified what slot machine was
and that there was nothing in the indict-
ment TO show what was its nature or that
it was a gambling device. Solicitor
General Fraser argued for the state that
the indictment was fully specific, and was
even more so than the law required it
stating not only that the defendant op-
Grated gaming device, but going further
and naming the device in question. He
held that it was clearly violation of the
lottery laws of the state Judge Mac
Donell took the demurrer under consid-
GRAFTON and his decision win be awaited

TO PASS A RESOLUTION.
Business Men Want the Tariff Issue
Settled without Delay.

An important meeting of the CONNER
cial Club has been called to meet this
morning in the reading room of the Pu-
laski house at 1880 O'Clock to consider
the delay of congress in bringing the
tariff issue to close.
A resolution will probably be offered
urging upon the senator's and representa-
tlves from Georgia to do all in their power
to have the tariff issue settled at once.
This action will be taken by the business
men of Savannah with hope that other
cities will at once fall into line, and the
Importance of passing the bill impressed
upon those who have it in their power
There is no doubt that such action taken
by the business interests all over the
south, would have its weight in urging
upon members of congress the Importance
of bringing the matter to an early close
instead of wrangling over sectional indus
tries and disputes
The business interests in this section es-
peoially. and, for that matter, all over the
country, are suffering as a result of the
delay of congress in settling this question,
and the quicker it is done, according to the
general feeling and impression, the better
it will be for all classes of trades and in-
dustries in every section.
Other matters pertaining to the club
will probably be brought up for consider
alton The club is now waiting on bids
and other matters before moving into its
elegant quarters. 1t is probable that the
members will have their club open to
them within month or six weeks

Being Replaced by a New One.
A new flag pole is being erected on the
top Of the city exchange. The new pole
will be 55 feet in hight, which is 10 feet
higher than the one it replaces.
The old pole was so rotten as to be I'M
safe, and endangered the roof of the
building. 1t has been In service a great
many years, Its condition was not dis
covered until the marshal went to hoist
the flag upon the pole in recognition of
the glorious Fourth of July. The
city has a flag about 20x40,
but the pole was such that he was afraid
TO hoist the large flag and substituted one
about half the size in its place When
Mayor McDonough turned to salute the
flag early on the morninRIof the Fourth he
concluded that either his eyes were fail
ing him eryrapidlyorthat there had been
an enormous shrinkage in the stand of
national colors belonging to the city. He
inquired into the matter, and when he
found out the reason for the city's float
ing such small flag on the national
birthday, he at once ordered the old pole
TO be replaced with anew one. The next
national holiday will find "old gloryn
floating over the city exchange in heroic
dimensions

The City and Suburban Railway
Increases It's Employees Wages.
The City and Suburban railway has in
creased the pay of its notormen on the
West Broad street line The increase
amounts to about % cents day to each
motorman, or choice of a shorter days
work. The motormen who prefer to do
less work will get the same pay as hereto
fore for a shorter days work, and those
who work the same number of hours as
heretofore will get the increased pay.
Director Hartmann of the City and
Suburban said that the pay of the motor
men is Increased on the West Broad street
line because of the heavier work since
the l-cent rate on that line went into
effect. From eight to ten men are affected
by the increase.
Mr. Hartman said that the receipts on
the West Broad street line since the
1-cent fare went into effect are larger
than ever before, being slightly above tho
receipts when the fare was cents on
that line, which were also greater than
when the fare was cents. The receipts
on the whole system, he said, have been
very satisfactory since the reduced rates
went into effect. He was asked if the
1-cent rate would be extended to any of
the other lines beside the West Broad
street line. He replied that it was very
likely that il would, but he could not say
positively if this would be done

DIDN'T GET TIE JOB.
A Colored Youth Swindled Out of His
Clothes and Watch

A colored youth, who wanted to be a
Pullman car porter, had an experience
the other night which he does not care to
repeat. A colored man told him the
Pullman company wanted a boy just
about his size and that he would see that
he got the job.
The youth thought the job would Just
suit him, and he was anxious to get
to work at once. He was told to be on
hand at the Savannah, Florida and
Western depot at certain time and to
bring his best clothes with him. His
friend said he would go with him TO the
depot to meet the train. Just before they
started the friend noticed that the boy
wore his watch and chain, and advised
him to put it in his satchel
with his clothes. Everything
was finally packed up, and the
out-to-be-Pullman party started off
with two satchels full of clothing, in one
of which was his watch and chain Ac-
companied by his friend, he went to the

NO MORE RAIN NEEDED NOW.
Three Quarters Of a Foot Fallen Since
July |.

Effect CT the Heavy Rains on the
Crops-Not as Much Damage to
Truck as Was Feared There Would
Be-ootton Suffering the Most.
The recent heavy rains have been some
thing phenomenal, and the question of
their effect on the crops, if continued,
Is becoming serious.
While rains are usually heavy at this
season of the year, they have been re-
markedly so this year, and more so than
at any time for some years past. The
weather has set farmers, planters and
merchants to thinking, and if they con-
tinue from day TO day the loss to the
crops may become serious. The rainfall
so far in July is fraction less than nine
inches
InChatham county. however, only truck
of one kind and another is grown. Mai
G. NJ. Ryals said yesterday that about the
only damage the rain could do now was TO
rot the tomatoes to a considerable extent
and cut of part of the crop. The rest of
the present crop is of hardy kind and
will not suffer much All of the early
vegetables have been shipped and all the
potato crop which was a short one, was
marketed about month ago. There was
only about half crop of potatoes this
year on account of the sudden changes in
the weather and the frost, and they all
brought good prices.
TRUCK WILL SUFFER LITTLE.
Mr. NJ L. Exley said the majority of
the crops now in the ground were of the
harder kind, and would suffer very little
from the rain. There is probably more
corn than anything else, and unless the
rains are continually very severe, and
followed nv hnr thor there IL not
likely to be very much damage done TO
that crop. Some of the other smaller
crops are suffering from rot, however
and If the rain keeps up it may amount
to considerable. Fruit is suffering as
much as anything else but there is very
little of it this year.
The truck season, Mr.. Exley says, has
not been as good as usual. and if the
truckers have all been able to pay their
obligations he says they have done well.
They have suffered from the changes in
the weather, which have been sudden and
severe.
Mai. Ryals says he is preparing a state
ment which will be of interest when it is
completed. He has farm of $50 acres.
His statement will show how many pack
ages he has shipped, TO whom shipped,
when shipped, by what routes and trans
portation lines, the net sales and the
amount Of freight paid. He thinks he
can give some pretty good indications of
what will be the best way to ship goods.
GOOD YEARS WORK.
He estimates roughly that the gross
proceeds from his farm have
been about SIS, 900, outside of
the cash sales made in the
city, and that the amount paid for freight
has been between S., 900 and 5000 And
he adds that there is very little if any
profit in it at that. He says he thinks he
will do well if, as a result of the seasons
business, he RECEIVERS entirely from the
losses of the August storm.
Cotton is reported as suffering as a re-
suit of the rains. There is little grown in
this immediate section, however, but re-
ports say il is hurt from the effect of
very hot sun right after rains. What the
extent of the damage will be has, not
been estimated.
