BLANDFoRD ASKED TO RESIGN.
THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER RE
QUEST HIS REsIGNATION.

4 Probability OF the TODoEraBhicnl
survey Being Again Placed in
Charge OF the County Engineer.
The Charges Against Mai. nIand-
ford which Decided the Commits
siOners TO Ask Ills Retirement
The county commissioners have decid-
ed to request Maj. r. a. BlandfOrd 10
send in his resignation Immediately as
chief engineer Of typographical survey.
All Of the commissioners but one were
present at the caucus at which this de-
cision was reached. Commissioner Carson
having been kept away on account Of busi-
ness engagements. The commissioners did
not discuss the question at any length,
but acted very promptly on the evidence
that was placed before them. They re-
manned I'm caucus about half an hour,
however, considering the advisability or
placing County Engineer Dayton IN charge
of the work which they had given to
Maj. BIandford. Whether they viii DO
this, however. was not definitely decided,
and il is likely that it will come up for
discussion at a subsequent meeting.
It is understood that some complaints
were lodged against Mai Blandford by
the chairman of the board, and that GER
tain evidence in support Of these COM
plants or charges was submitted, upon
which the board based its action. The
board decided after discussing the mat
ter In caucus that it would request MAJ.
Blandford's resignation at once. and
letter expressing the wishes Of the board
in this respect has been sent to him.
Mai. BlandfOrd is now at the ST. JOseph's
Inhrmary having been brought there
yesterday from the country. where be
has been at work since the middle Of he
where he was taken sick.
IL VIII be remembered that some time
ago the majority of the board of county
commissioners decided 10 retain Mai
BlandfOrd as county engineer, provided
he would pledge himself to abstain from
years, and when he did by accident for
get himself, he Immediately handed his
resignation as county engineer to the
then acting chairman of the board. Mai
BlandtOrd was then elected chief engin-
eer of typographical survey at a salary
this capacity just a week ago. He went
into the country with his force last Mon
day, but has been in the city once or
twice since that time
Recently several charges of a similar
nature have been lodged against him
of the request for his resignation. What
further action will be taken in the matter
has not yet developed.
Maj BlandfOrd, 10 is said, was given
no hearing in the matter at all, the
action being taken on the charles made
viii probably wait to hear from him I'm
the matter before taking any further
steps with regard to the completion Of
the work on the county map.

NO RATES ron SAVANNAH DAY.
The Effort to Secure Cheap Fares So
Far Unsuccessful.


1t looks very much as if Capt. Purse
will have to request President Collier to
knock Savannah day out OF the exposition
calendar. and that the school children Of
Savannah will not get their expected trip
to the exposition.
The board of education. at it's last
meeting authorized Supt. Baker to grant
a three days holiday at Thanksgiving, in
stead of the usual one days holiday, to
allow the children and teachers an oppor-
tunity to visit the exposition If, in his
judgment, he deemed II best Supt. Baker
has stated his willingness to grant the
three days holiday on condition that the
railroad rates are such as to guarantee
that a sufficient number of children will
take advantage Of the opportunity to JUS
tify the two days loss from the schools.
He does not care TO give the children a
holiday simply to spend in the city.
Capt Purse, to whom the situation has
been explained, has made strenuous eff
forts to secure such rates, but so far
without success. That any great number
Of the children will visit the exposition
on Savannah day al the present rate Of
$685. for the round trip is not to be ex-
pected.
Capt. Purse -yas referred by Mai Shell
man, traffic manager of the Central rail-
road, to President Conner. Mr.. Conner
so Capt. Purse states, has expressed de-
cided unwillingness to offer any special
rate for Savannah day. and has given no
hope that such a rate Will be offered. one
reason given by Mr. Conner for declining
to grant a reduced rate for Savannah day
was that the road has no extra cars for
such an occasion. This viii strike most
people living in savannah as very ex-
traordinary, especially when they have
been accustomed to hearing OF large eX-
cursions by the Central railroad. and to
regard them as a matter of course.
Capt Purse has set his heart on having
a big crowd of people from Savannah az
tn exposition on Savannah day THE
people of Savannah owe it to themselves -
he said, ITO show their interest in At
lanta's great exposition and their desire
for it's success. With a low rate, we can
carry thousands OF people to Atlanta on
Savannah day. just as many as the Cen
trail railroad and the Plant system to-
gether can haul. The people don't want
palace cars. The majority will be will
ing TO travel in ordinary passenger
coaches. All the children almost would go
in the daytime, anyway, and the crowds
on the night trains would be practical
~ all adults. The interest that has been
aroused in Savannah day is so great that
/ believe we can carry 1900 people to the
exposition, provided the rates are low
enough
Capt. Purse will continue his efforts to
secure a satisfactory rate. Upon his sue
cess depends the success of Savannah day
at the exposition.

was TO get an order for suit of clothes

cured here he delivered but one suit. He
also took orders for books and worked
"a number of people in that way. He

Successful Business.
1t seems as If every family in the city
was represented yesterday by the lady
of the house at Logan's stalls in the city
market From morning till night there
was a continued rush there And they
were not disappointed by the visit. The
display Of fine meats exceeded anything
that has ever been shown in this city
one particular feature in Logan's meets
poultry and game is that they are al
ways fresh. Everybody who has ever
patronized his popular establishment can
bear witness to this fact. His stalls are
always kept neat and clean. The ladies'
have no hesitancy in going there with
their orders, for they are always received
in the most cordial and gentlemanly
manner and particular attention is paid
to them.
The greatly increased business surpasses
Logans most sanguine expectations
and he appreciates the liberal patronage
which he receives and he endeavors to
successfully cater to the wants of every
family who desires to get the choicest
beef, mutton, pork, sausages, poultry
game, and, in fact, anything in his line
The best is always the cheapest, and
with this fact in view, Mr.. Logan will
not handle inferior qualities, and the
result is the establishment of the finest
business of the kind in the south.-ad
