HE HAS WRITTEN A LETTER.
THE COUNTY TREASURER STILL
FOR JUDGE MACDONELL.

He Followed u His Telegram With
Communication To the Governor
Nesterdny-CauSe Of the Row in
the Citizens Cuba Report That
senator Osborne Practically Gave
Up the Fight When Mr.. Fraser
Withdrew. But Decided After Com
ferring With Friends 60. Hiring
out Another Candidate.
Mr. Waring Russell. the county treas
urer. it is understood. has followed up his
telegram to Gov. Atkinson urging Judge
A. H. MacDonelTs reappointment, with
a letter TO the governor. in which he re-
iterates the statements sent by wire, anG
emphasizes his position by giving figures
and data The letter. II is said, was
mailed to Atlanta last night. The tele-
gram, which was referred TO in yester-
days Morning News, is substantially as
follows:
LAS organizer OF the Citizens Club. 1
wish TO state seven-eighths of the voters
Of Chatham county indorse MacDonen.
Waring Russell, Treasurer c. C."
This would appear to leave no doubt
that there IS considerable OF a row among
the forces Of the Citizens club as it was
originally constituted. The fact that Mr..
Philip NJ Russell has not received the
backing of the club for the clerkship OF
the city court is said to be responsible
for the rupture between the county treas
urcr and Senator Osborne. Mr..
Russell has been power ia the poliu-
cal deals. and has in days gone by aided
materially i'm saving the county from re-
publican rule Whether the claim that he
is the organizer Of the club is true or
not it is we'll known that he has what is
known In technical politics as q pull
it is commonly reported that when So
lcitor General w W. Fraser dropped out
of the race last SATURDAY Senator Os-
borne practically gave up the fight against
Judge MacDoneu, but after consulting
with political friends decided to make
another effort. and together with the
friends referred to, induced Mr. Wright
to enter the race.
There have been no new developments
i'm the situation. The governor has as yet
given no Indication of what he may do
and so the matter stands.
MIR Warng Russell said to Mr.. Wight
yesterday That the dispatch he sent to
the governor on Wednesday. indOrsiug
Judge MacDonell was sent simply on the
score Of his close relations with Judge
MacDoneh and his personal friendship
for him. and that II was in no sense to
be considered an attack ON Mr..
Wrights candidacy. He said he
would be entirely satisfied II the
governor should, appoint Mr., Wright.
though he stated he could not consci-
entiously give letter to that effect.
Judge MacDonells friends are so con-
fidently of his election that some Of them
have put up a considerable amount on
the result As much as 500 is known to
have been placed with different parties to
bet even and though notice of it has been
given there are as yet no takers.

LARGE TRUCK SHIPMENT.
Florida Making Up in Part for the
Lost Orange Crop.

LUST AEODs
The Florida truck growers are making
up in a measure what has been lost on
the orange crop by the freeze of last
winter. Large quantities of Florida truck
are being sent north every day. and the
products are finding a ready market. Chat
ham county, as well as other sections,
has a finger in the pie also. and a great
many crates of beans have been shipped
from farms right around Savannah.
Florida. however. has been getting out
beans, peas. cucumbers and me few
tomatoes. They are coming j.. nearly
all sections of the state, and the southern
Express Company. fast freight and steam
ship lines are carrying many crates of
them through Savannah daily. The Flor
ida crops were planted so as to mature
about Dec. 1, or shortly before that date.
so the shipments are becoming heavier
every day. The truck is all I'm good condi-
ton and finds a ready market
This is the first time such large ship
ments of truck have been made "a this
season since 1889 or 1890, and the fact that
they are made now is attributed largely
to the loss of the orange crop. The Sa-
Vannah truckers as well as those of Flor
ida, have had good returns, and they Will
no doubt try the experiment again.

From the Steamer Comet.
In the Salvage case OF the Propeller
Towboat Company against the German
steamship Comet which fouled her anch-
ors off Tybee sometime ago and was pull
ed off by one Of that company's boats, a
settlement was had for 500 the original
charge having been l,5O0.
The settlement was made it is under
stood by the captain of the steamer with
the advice of friends. The captain. it ap-
pears, had employed counsel. but did not
follow the advice given and did not offer
10 pay the fee in the case. The attorney
consulted tbereupon attached the ship on
yesterday and the fee was paid.
1t seems there was a rat Their queer mis-
understanding in the case. The mate Of
the steamship, when the papers were serV-
ed reported to the German consul, Mr.. ia
cob Rauers, that the vessel had been at
tackled instead of attached. and a request
was made on Chief of Police McDermott
to send a squad of policemen there TO get
the Waterman off the ship and to defend
it. As soon as the real situation was ex-
planned. however. the counsels fee was
paid, and the vessel was released.

THE TEuToNIA CLUES DEBUT.
Its Opening Concert ut Herr George
SchwRrz's Hall.

SchwRrz's Hall.
The Teutonia Club had a delightful con
cert last night at Schwarz' hall The han
was packed with a jolly crowd, and the
evening passed most pleasantly. The
singing by the Teutonia Glee Club was
excellent Notwithstanding the fact that
1t has had very little practice.
The club is composed of seven mem
bers at present, but il is the purpose
Of the members to secure enough more
voices to form a triple quartette and to
give concerts at regular intervals.
The opening concert was merely a
feeler TO see if enough interest could
be awakened among the members of
the German community to contribute TO
the support of a club.
The concert was under the direction
or Herr Fritz Keller. who proved a most
efficient leader Refreshments We're
served during the performance and a sup
per was served at its close.
Mr.. GustaVe Fox betrayed the expenses
of the concert and supper merely TO give
himself and friends the pleasure of hear
ing the songs they had heard so much
over in the "faderland." Mr. Fox is an
ardent lover of music and he saws ne
will back the Teutonia Club in any en-
terprise they undertake.
