Myers majority. 655.
Last night closed one of the most in
tensely interesting and exciting political
campaigns that Savannah has ever seen.
Men went with their whole soul into the
fight, and though the spirit Of partisan
ship reigned supreme, is was strange yet
fortunate that it was attended by no ia
talities or casualties. The campaign was
active throughout. but it was bloodless
and the only weapons used in any Of the
small encounters that took place were
fists
Few Of the active workers, in fact none
of them had nights rest after the meet
ings held Monday night. 1t was up all
night with them. and they were on the so
from place TO place where precinct meet
ings were being held. and the enthusiast
tic organization was kept up to the last.
Owing to the fact that the precincts
were so widely scattered it was a hard
matter to make UP any estimate Of the
way the vote was going during the early
morning. The voting places were surround
ed by crowds long before o'clock. the
hour at which they opened. and many
were inspecting the booths and seeking
instructions with regard TO how to cast
their ballots. The managers and chal-
lengers were on hand at each of the pre-
cincts before o'clock and ready to begin
their work Crowds Of colored voters
were kept around the polls all night. and
were kept in a good humor with refresh
ments until the hour arrived at which they
could cast their vote.
There seems to be no doubt about the
fact that the organization of the Myers
men was better than that OF the Duncan
people. The Myers men had a captain and
lieutenant at each of the precincts and
under them there were several workers
Two or three workers, according to the
strength deemed necessary, was what the
Duncan men had on hand. The results
show how effective the organization OF
the Myers people has been. In canvassing
the registration lists they checked as
against them not only all they knew
stood that way but all who were in doubt
and they put for them only those OF
whom they were certain. Figuring or
such a close estimate as this they saw
they had d good majority, and We're satts.
fed after this canvass that there would
be no doubt as 10 the result. Those who
were in doubt they made canvass among

THE CITIZENS BANK ENJo1NED.


a Claim That the Wall of It's New
Building viii Interfere With Adjoin-
ing Property.
In the superior court yesterday an action
was taken which, unless settled. may in
terfere with the cons tructlon of the new
building for the Citizens Bank. The suit
is that of Jane NJ. Anderson, administra-
trix Of the estate of E c. Anderson. IT.,
against the Citizens Bank of Savannah.
The petition states that this estate owns
the property on the southwestern corner
of Drayton street and Bay lane, and that
the building there is separated from the
Citizens Bank by a party wall north Of
which is an alley way, which alleyway is
claimed by the bank. Tt is stated that it IS
the intention of the bank to place the
northern wall of it's new building several
feet north Of this party wall which would
make it cut rooms on the second and third
floors Of the building belonging 10 the An
dersOn estate. This, it is stated, would
damage the foundation of the building and
materially impair it.
1t is understood that the Citizens Bank
made proposition that it should go ahead
with the construction of its new building
and then pay the damages which should
afterwards be assessed. This, however
was objected TO by Messrs. Charlton
Mackall q Anderson, attorneys for the pc
titioner, on the ground that such course
would impair the entire building belong
ing to the petitioners property. So a tenn
porary Injunction has been asked for and
granted until Saturday morning when the
case will be heard before Judge Faligant
and it viii be decided whether a perma-
nent injunction will be allowed, in which
case the Citizens Bank would likely have
to change somewhat the plans of its new
building, at least with regard TO its di-
mansions I'm Z northerlv direction.
