CADETS CHALLENGE HUssARs.
A Team shoot VIII Probably Take
Place Thanksgiving Day.


Place Thanksgiving Day.
The Savannah Cadets have issued chal-
lenge to the Georgia Hussars for a team
shoot at the Avondale rifle range, to take
place on Thanksgiving day.
The teams are to be picked from each
company, and composed of about fifteen
men each. The Hussars have some first
class individual shots, but when it comes
to getting up a team of that size, it is
probable that they will not find the Cadets
as easy crowd TO tackle as might be sup
posed
The Cadets do not boast any remarkable
individual shots. but when it comes to
team shooting and company shooting,
they are very strong. A number of MEM
bers of the company qualified as marks
men at the encampment last summer and
their work as an aggregation is extremely
good.
The arrangements for the shoot have not
been made, as the Hussars have not yet
been heard from definitely, but 1t Is pretty
we'll settled that they will accept the chal-
lenge, and endeavor to get a team which
will DO the Cadets up in great shape

The American Sugar Refining Co,
=. 0. Box 2036,
New York CITY

NEW 1OEh lily.
Gentlemen: We are in receipt of yours
covering invoice for sugar. We desire to
be enrolled as your agents, and to receive
sugar on consignment, in accordance with
the terms of your letter, and we hereby
agree to faithfully maintain the terms
and conditions therein provided on all
sugar received by us Yours truly, --.
The new system of selling sugar is said
to be brought about by the efforts of the
wholesale grocers of Georgia, South Caro-
lima and Illinois, on account of dissensions
in the Wholesale Grocers' Associations,
the rebate system which had been in force
for several years being called off in these
states by the Sugar Trust.
The wholesale market for sugar, it is
claimed, has gotten into a demoralizing
condition and wholesale grocers through
out the country are again using sugar as
a leader and are cutting prices right
and left. This is said to be especially so at
Chicago and in certain of the southern
states, where there is no pretense made
of having organization among the grocery
jobbers.
that the buyer will get his sugar at the
same price no matter where he buys it.
The lowest selling price for refined sugar
at all points will be the American Sugar
Refining Companys card price on the day
of sale, to which is to be added a certain
amount, Stated in an instruction book,
for the benefit of salesmen) for the diff
ferent points at which the sugar is de-
livered. The amount of freight paid by the
customer, from the shipping point, is to
be credited on the bill by the Jobber.
1.-The equality plan for the sale of sug-
arr said a prominent grocer yesterday,
SIS simply the adoption by the wholesale
grocers of a uniform delivered selling
price to every railroad station and river
point, by which each dealer In the same
town buys the sugar at the same price
from the jobbing market, thus securing
to the wholesaler a fixed selling price,
based upon the refners cost and freight,
and consequent relief from the practice
of distributing this staple at cost, or less,
to himself, and at the same time furnish
ing the retailer at refiners' price, with
freight added
The rate book of Georgia has been furn-
ished to the wholesale grocers It has a
printed list of all of the towns and river
points, opposite to which is the amount
in one hundredth parts of / cent to be
added to the American Sugar Refining
Company's prices on the day of sale. on
the total bill, as before stated, the pur-
chaser is to be credited with the amount of
freight he pays from the shipping point.

know in this city a southerner who
has made his way from nothing to
comfortable fortune, says writer in
the New York Press. He was broker
in Wall street, plodding slowly along,
living from hand to mouth, with bank
account that sometimes grew as big as
eight hundred dollars. He met CAPT.
talist who wanted certain bonds, and,
with commission of twenty-five hun
bred dollars in view, he undertook to
deliver them. He knew an old bond
holder who had them, and his purpose
was to get them without causing sud
den rise in their value. The old fellow
named his price, which was entirely
satisfactory. The amount was twenty
five thousand dollars for the lot. My
friend went to his Office, drew a check
for that sum and handed it over.
perhaps you know that it is GUS
tomary in transactions Oh this kind to
give a certified check" said the bond
! holder
This was a stunning blow, almost a
knockout, for a man with bank ac-
count of never more than eight hun
bred dollars, but my friend. begging the
oil fellows pardon for the oversight,
started to get the proper certifcation.
He went straight to the cashier of his
bank and stated the whole case to him,
explaining that he was to deliver the
bonds within two hours and make his
| profit of twenty-five hundred dollars.

hours to make good the check, or will

The cashier hesitated. He who hest
tates is lost. He looked the broker
straight in the eye and said:
II will do it. | know you are an
honest man."
With certified check for twenty five
thousand dollars, the southerner re-
turned for the bonds, much to the
amazement Of the old bondholder, who
declared that if he had known his abil-
ity to produce a certified check for that
amount he would not have offered the
bonds at all. He offered them as a
bluff. But the bluff being called he
| had to yield. Inside of an hour and a
half the bonds were delivered to the
capitalist, and a check for twenty-seven
thousand five hundred dollars was de-
| posted at the bank.
My friend has had many transactions
with the old bondholder since then, and
he never fails to ask: do you want a
certified check?" to which the reply is:
Never mind about it; III take any sort
of check you give me"
