SAVANNAH MAKES MATTRESSES.
An Industry That Has Paid From
the start.

Up to a year ago Savannah got the
mattresses and spring beds sold by The
furniture dealers from other cities Straw
and moss mattresses came mostly from
Charleston, S. c.. and Richmond. Va. Elk
celsior mattresses and spring beds were
bought in Atlanta. Cotton, shuck and
horsehair mattresses came from CHICAGO
and from $4,000 to $4,000 were sent away
annually to pay for some 1000 mattresses
and 5000 bed springs
a year ago c. NJ. Mcbride & Company
established a mattress and spring bed fac
tory here. The capital employed was less
than $1,000 yet, even with the limited CANT
tai, this firm has succeeded in supplying
with very few exceptions. the whole of the
local trade, thus keeping at least $4,000
here that formerly was sent to other
cities.
Mr.. Mcbride says: 1--WE manufacture
for the jobing trade only, and we have
met with all the patronage and encour-
agement we could possibly expect in Sa
vannah We have so far successfully
competed with every other point. This
however, is not all the success we have
achieved, but we are competing with At
lanta even in Macon, and we receive a
fair share of all the trade south of Savan.
nah extending to Florida and Alabama
We manufacture everything in the shane
of mattresses, from common straw to
the finest horsehair mattress. We also
manufacture a high grade of springbeds.
We have steadily increased our force. as
rapidly as the business warranted. ana
we have now hands employed steadily.
Our pay roll runs from $50 to $50 per week
Two hands viii easily make sixteen mat
tresses per day, SO that the steady en-
ployment of six hands means a consid
cradle output We are able to supply the
whole of Savannahs commercial terri
tory, and as our prices are Just as low
and in some instances even lower. than
those of other points, and as the freigbts
are, of course, in our favor, we can easily
hold our own and increase our producing
capacity as the trade requires II. our
shipping trade is about equal to the local
trade, For the last year the demand FOR
all kinds Of furniture and, consequently.
mattresses, was limited, so that we com
menced during a time when business vas
greatly depressed. We have, neverthe
less, met with success and the business
pays more than bank rates of intere It

the Probable New Officers of thu
Artillery.

Capt. WheatOn's Resignation and
the Probable New Officers of the
Artillery.
Capt. John F. Wheaton has formally
rendered his resignation as the command
ing officer Of the Chatham Artillery. The
resignation has been accepted by the COM
pany. but it was with many regrets that
the members parted with Capt. Wheaton
as its commanding officer. He was by
unanimous vote elected honorary captain
of the company for life. Capt. wheaton's
resignation is as follsw;
Savannah, May 30, 1870 the officers
and Members of the Chatham Artillery:
Fellow Soldiers-In October 1892 I ten
dered my resignation as your commanding
officer to the adjutant general, and placed
it in your hands, for reasons that seemed
TO me sufficient to have your approval. In
that view you did not concur and have
continued in command of the company 10
this time. The reasons that then impelled
me 10 resign, viz: the necessity of avoid
ing excessive fatigue. and that my ad-
vanced age incapacitated me for the active
duties demanded of your commanding Of
ncer, are forced on me now in a greatly
increased degree, All, therefore. 1 feel
compelled 10 again place my resignation in
your hands, and il has been forwarded 10
the adjutant general for approval and ac-
ceptance. to take effect the I'd of July next.
In severing my official connection with the
company, which commenced a third Of a
century since, 1 have confidence that the
record will sustain me in saying that under
all conditions. both in peace and in the
vicissitudes OF war, my efforts have at all
times been devoted to maintaining the
honor and prestige of this honored old
company. In surrendering the trust into
your hands / feel assured that its tradi-
tons will be preserved with like jealous
and careful attention. The resignation will
not lessen my interest in our old COM
pany. That will continue in the future as
it has done for more than forty years past,
and it will be my pleasure to cooperate
with you in all measures that will promote
its prosperity and success.
Renewing my thanks for great kindness
and consideration, and with my earnest
wishes for your happiness and prosperity,
individually and collectively, ! am very
truly yours, John f. Wheaton.
With the resignation of Capt Wheaton
the question naturally arises as to who
will succeed him as the commanding off,
Ger of the company. Lieuts. George +.
Walker and r. f. Harmon have given no.
tice that they would resign, though their
designations have not vet been accepted.
II is also understood Lieut.. ]. r. Sau5-
sy will resign. Thus the company will
lose all of its present commissioned off,
GERS Nothing definite has been done as
yet to fill these positions, though it is
pretty well understood what the slate
will be.
Lieut.. George p. Walker is prominently
spoken of as the next captain of the COM
pany. The rest of the slate is as fol-
lows: Lieutenants. W. G. Cam, J. A. G..
Carson and Armin B. Palmer. Several
other changes have been talked of among
the members, but nothing more definite
than this has come about as yet.

KILLED BY AN ACCIDENTAL SHOT,
A 12-Year-OId CoIOred Boys Fatal
Cunning.


Cunning.
Sammy Evans, a 12-year-old colored boy,
died at the Georgia Infirmary night before
last from an accidental gunshot wound in
the thigh.
The boys was out in field southeast of
the city shooting birds to scare them away
from his fathers crop. He laid the gun
down in crawling over a ditch and in pick
ing it up managed to discharge it, receiv-
ing the load just above the left KIN e. His
father and brother found him, but were
too slow in securing medical attendance,
and death was due to loss of blood.
Someone reported to Chief McDermott
that the boy had been the victim of foul
play. Officer Scully was sent out to the
scene of the shooting yesterday morning
and brought in the boys father and two
other witnesses. Chief AIcDermott interro-
gated the Witnesses and found the facts
10 be as stated above.

Had the Nigilants been a little more con-

might have turned out differently. As it
was the c. l. AS did not have anything
like an easy time. The score was to 3
in their favor.
The attendance was only fair. and was
not as large as at Saturdays game. This
is to be regretted. The young men compos-
ing the league have gone 10 considerab Bile
trouble and expense TO give Savannah base
ball this season. and they should be en-
couraged. The league was not organized
as a scheme to make money. but it must be
remembered that there are expenses to be
met and unless the attendance at the
games is sufficient to meet these expenses
the league cannot last.
A good many people are under the i'm
preston that amateur ball is not worth
going TO see, but this is a wrong impress
sion and If the people would attend one OF
the games played by the city league they
would very soon find that out. Amateur
ball is very different from professional
ball. In professional ball the men play
because they are paid to do it; il is their
work. Is there any record where money
was made out of amateur ball? All the
players get out Of it is the enjoyment of
the sport and little glory, probably; and
very little glory at that if the attendance
