{ ChiIdren's Day United with the An
nuaI sunday school Celebration.
| The twenty-eighth anniversary Of Yves
ley Monumental Sunday school was cele-
brated at that church yesterday morn
ing at IL o'clock a very attractive and
interesting programme was arranged for
the occasion. and the church was filled
with the scholars and friends Of the
school.
The decorations were a very pretty and
attractive feature The pulpit platform
was lined with palms and ported plants,
while evergreens and bright flowers we're
arranged Hastily around. on either side
back Of the pulpit stand. was a memorial
piece, in remembrance of two Of the
brightest members of the infant class.
whose sad deaths have been a source
OF much sorrow to their friends and asso-
ciates. The design on the left was heart
made OF white flowers with Bessie
across 1t in blue This was in memory Of
little Bessie Harris. The other design was
OF star, also in white flowers, with
1 Robert" in blue upon it. This was in
memory of little Robert Carson, son of
Mr.. ID. c. Carson.
The exercises opened with the song.
Sing Unto the Lord" which was followed
with a scripture reading by Mr.. l.. A. Mel
son. the assistant superintendent. The
hymn In Heavenly Pastures was sung,
after which there was prayer by the pas
tor, Rev A. NJ. Williams. After the song,
'Conquering Now a very interesting
scripture talk was given by the superin-
tendent, Mr.. w. =. Stubs. The wei
come was very ably and Interestingly
spoken by Adrian Thomas. In his an
nual report Supt. Stubbs stated the school
had eleven officers, twenty-six teachers,
1876 regular pupils and ninety i'm ue infant
class, making a total membership Of 322.
The average attendance for each Sunday
during the year has been 2l1. The average
collections have been 1895. or a total of
S205.55 for the year. The statistics make a
very good showing for the school, and are
evidence that it has made much progress
during the year.
a very interesting feature was a song
by the infant class which was followed by
a very bright recitation by Miss Minnie
Beck. Rey. A. NJ. Williams. the pastor,
made the children a very interesting and
| instructive talk speaking especially of
the relation of the home to the Sunday
school. The offertory was sung by Miss
H. Turner and the collection taken up by
six boys, members of the school. After
the singing, Praise We the Lord" the
exercises were closed.
The Sunday school united with its an
nual celebration what is known as Chill
dren's day in the Sunday schools of the
Methodist church. 1t is usually the case
that the third Sunday in May is set aside
for the purpose of taking up a collection
for the benefit of poor Sunday schools.
Quite an addition was made to the fund
being raised for that purpose, by this SER
vice and collection.

KICK OF THE RIFLEMEN.
The Brunswickers Not Satisfied With
What They Got.

What They Got.
The Brunswick Rihemen are kicking
because they were not given the first
prize in the May week contest. The
grounds Of their kick are that the prize
was awarded TO a company of cadets from
military school. against which a regular
military company had no show.
The Rihemen want to know if the May
week committee did not consult with the
officers of the Cadets and FIX" things
with them a week before the contest took
place. The members Of the committee
who have been spoken to about the mat
ter deny any such thing.
The prizes were not offered for any
military feature, but purely and simplv
10 get crowd, and there was no limi-
tauons as to cadets, schools or anything
else. Had the members of the commits
zee been military men they would prob
ABLY laid down conditions and restric-
tons, but there was not a military man
on the committee, and the military Off
GERS OF the city We're not consulted upon
the question Of prizes or any other oues-
ton except as 70 the parade
The idea OF the committee was to in
duce companies from other towns and cit
10 ~ come ana Drlng as many men as
possible, and the only conditions made as
10 the prizes were as to numbers. The
failure of the committee to properly ad-
wise the commanders of various military
companies in this section the military
feature OF the week was undoubtedly re-
sponsible for the small number of visit
ing companies in attendance.
Lieut.. Piper. commanding officer of the
Gordon Institute Cadets, visited the CITY
about ten days before the opening of
the May week and attended a meeting OF
the committee by invitation. A Morning
News reporter was present at this meet
ing. All that Lieut.. Piper asked for was
Information as to the conditions on which
the prizes We're offered. He was informed
that the only condition was that the men
paraded by any company should be bona
hde members of the company on the day
OF the parade. He expressed his salts
faction at this and withdrew from the
meeting. Nothing was said at the meet
ing about making any distinction between
school cadets and enlisted companies.
Lieut.. Piper was wise enough not to
raise the point. and it evidently did not
occur to the committee.
The military officers who awarded the
prizes doubtless considered the point made
by the Brunswick Rifles as well taken,
but under the conditions laid down by
the May week committee there was moth
ing to do but award the prize for the
largest number of men to the Cadets.

COME NEARLY LOSING $50.
An officer OF Marines Puts His Conf
dence in Strangers.

An Omcef Oh MARINES Puts HIS COnH-
dence in Strangers.
An incident occurred at the Screven
house pool room the other night which
has caused considerable talk around
town. petty officer of one of the war
ships was playing pool with a young Sa-
MAMMALIAN. Both had been drinking.
a dollar wager was made on the game
and bystander offered to hold the stakes
The marine had no change less than $50
gold piece, which he handed to the by
stander, not suspecting anything wrong.
The latter, however, was a fakir of the
shark variety, and while the game was
going on he quietly slipped out into the
street. When the marine discovered his
loss he was very wrathy, and charged his
opponent with being a party to the theft,
knocked him down.
The charge was undoubtedly unjust. A
considerable row was raised about the
matter. several gentlemen present taking
the marines part. and threatening to call
in the police. The fakir's pals became
frightened and one of them went off and
got the money, and had it returned by a
third party. The marine declared that it
was not the money he wanted but the ar
rest of the man who attempted to steal it.
The sharks no doubt had better success
in many other efforts which they made to
fleece the sailors, though none have come
to light so far.

THE COUNTING MACHINE.
Three of Them Rented to the Banks
Here on Trial.

Three of Them Rented to the Banks
Here on Trial.
A test is being made by several of the
Savannah banks of counting machine,
which is a marvellous mechanism in its
way. Three of them have been sent here
for trial, one to the Citizens Bank, one
to the Southern, and one to the Savannah
Bank and Trust Company.
The machine cannot well be briefly de-
scribed. The figures are made by the
pressure of keys similar to those on a
typewriter, and after column of any de-
sired length has been printed on a slip
of paper fed from a roll, the pressure Of
a button and the turning of a crank will
add up the entire column with absolute
accuracy. The machine costs 1915. on ac-
count of the complicated mechanical ar
rangement, and it is hardly probable that
the banks here will lay in any supply of
them. They are labor-saving where there
is a large amount of this kind of labor
to be done, but it is hardly thought they
would be of sufficient utility to warrant
their use here.
Col r. U. Hardeman had one of the
machines in his Office in the capitol build
ing a short time ago. The genial state
treasurer also has a dariSy attached to his
office who answers to the name of Peter.
Peter was watching Col Hardeman ex-
pertinent with the machine one day, and
his observations were very intent. After
awhile he looked up and remarked:
Mars Bob, no wonder de white folks
is runnin' de niggers out of de country.
AFTER awhile you won't have nobody in
dis Office but you and dat machine an a
monkey to turn de crank"

Col. r. L. Hardeman, the state treas
