FACTIONS TO FIGHT AGAIN.
duBtgnOn Mentioned For Chairman
of TO-day's Convention.

duBtgnOn Mentioned For Chairman
of TO-day's Convention.
The two factions in Chatham county
will have another contest to-day over the
seats in the state democratic convention.
which meets in Atlanta for the purpose
of nominating democratic candidates for
the Justiceshlps of the supreme court
who are to be elected by the people in De-
cember.
The Liberal Club has sent up one set
of delegates and the Citizens club has sent
uD another One or two of the delegates
from both factions gave their proxies to
other parties on account Of the fact that
they are detained here to-day on business
1t is said, however, that most of them will
be present. Three of the members of the
delegation sent by the mass meeting dem
ocrats are the members of the legisla-
ture from this county and they will, Of
course, all be present at the convention.
Several of the delegates went up to At
lanta last night but most of them were
already on the ground and looking over
the field. While Chatham county is not
directly interested in the convention, near
ly every one of the delegates who went
up is looking after the interests Of some
one or the other of the candidates, and
the situation is undoubtedly going to be
quite an interesting one.
1t is said that Hon. f. G.. duBignon has
been given the proxy Of one of the Chat
ham county delegation from the primary
democrats, and that he will in all prob
ability be a conspicuous figure in the con-
vention. In fact IL is stated that he will
be a candidate for chairman, and It is said
every effort is being made on the part of
the Citizens Club representation to put
him through. The matter was no doubt
being worked on last night. 1t is we'll
known that several of the prominent Cit
liens Club politicians are in Atlanta, for
the purpose Of attending this convention
and 1t remains to be seen what will be the
result Of their presence there.
Mr. duBignon's alleged victory in the
senatorial fight is looked upon as giving
him strong prestige in the matter of the
craftsmanship. There are others, how
ever, in the race and it may be that pref
ty warm fight will be made for the chair.
manship.
II remains to be seen what the conven.
ton will do about Chatham's conflicting
delegations, but il is the belief among poll.
Ucians on both sides to a certain extent
that half OF the delegates on each side
will be seated II this is not the case. the
Citizens Club people say there is no doubt
about the seating of their delegation and
they look upon the possibility OF a seating
OF nall and half Of the two delegations as
sort OF compromise between the fac.
lions. What may or may not be done In
ton win tell.

TOOK THE WHITE VEIL.
Miss Celia Lyman Becomes Sister
Mary Carmel.

Mary Carmel.
At the Convent of Mercy last night, Miss
Celia Lyman of Atlanta was received into
the sisterhood and became Sister Mary Car
mel. The reception ceremonies were I'M
usually beautiful and impressive and the
convent chapel was thronged with the rel
atives and friends of the new sister, be-
sides many members Of other faiths than
the Catholic.
The chapel was flttingly decorated with
flowers and the affairs were Brilliantly
lighted with candles. The services were
conducted by Father B. J. Kielyl assisted
by Fathers Schencke, Mccarthy McMa-
hon and Riley. The music was furnished
by Miss Betty Black, Mrs Barbour and
Mrs. Altick.
The procession entered the chapel to
music. Miss Lyman was attired in white
and was attended by the sisters, carrying
lighted candles, and by twelve little flower
girls, dressed in white and carrying white
chrysanthemums. The principal entered
the chancel and knelt at a prideau, while
the attendants took their places near the
front of the chapel.
Father Kelly addressed the young girl
who was about to renounce the world and
become welded to the sisterhood. He
spoke of the order of mercy and the good
done by it, of Its charity and benevolence.
He contrasted the life of sister with
that of one of the outside world and paid
a beautiful tribute to the women who
have been renowned through ages for
their good works. He explained the du-
ties and life of a sister; how pure the life
which they lead is and the privations and
hardships they are called upon to endure.
He closed by compllmenting the young
girl for having chosen such beautiful
life.
After having been asked the customary
questions and having answered them the

AAteF the RAY MOther-fn-Law Re-
freshments Were Served.
The entertainment last night at Yonge's
hail for the benefit of the Marvin church
Sunday school drew a large audience
which was we'll pleased with the efforts
of those taking part in the programme.
The first number, piano solo by Miss
Elizabeth F. Miller, was admirably rem
dered. A song by the male quartet was
good, and the quartet, composed of Miss
Caraway, Miss Proctor, Mr.. S. Hardy
and Mr.. H. c. Hardy, that sang Come
Where the Lilies Bloom" received well
merited applause.
Mr.. Readick's song, Just Tell Them
That You Saw Me-" was touchingly sung
and roundly applauded.
A recitation by Miss Lena Mcfarland,
rejecting upon the garrulity of her sex,
was nicely delivered.
A second piano solo by Miss Miller met
the same reception as the first.
The last number of the programme, and
that to which the greatest interest was
attached, was the one act farce comedy,
Freezing a Mother-in-Law The mem
bers of the cast acted their parts with
the proper force and understanding, and
the play was found to be full of things

Swift, Mr. Skipper; Walter Litherland
Mr.. A. B. Crosby; Mrs. Watmuff, Mrs. c.

Vannah's Police System.
Mr.. William Burke. the newly appoint
ed marshal of Tampa, Fla. has been in
the city for the last two days inspecting
the workings of the Savannah police de-
partmeht.
In Tampa the city marshal exercises
the powers of chief of police. Mr.. Burke
has never had any experience in these
duties and naturally came to Savannah
as the proper place to secure informa-
ton. Chief McDermott gave him a thor
ough insight into the workings of the
police department, including the district
proper use Of the Gamewell police tele-
graph and other features OF the Savan-
nah department.
other police chiefs who have visited
Savannah have given it as their opinion
that Savannah puts the Gamewell sys-
tenn to better use than almost any other
city in the country. In many cities the
system is merely used for occasional tel
ephone connections with headquarters in
cases of emergency. BY the system in
use In Savannah every patrolman Is in
constant communication with headquar-
ters. and any information can be COM
municated TO the whole squad in less than
an hour
The system in use here was devised by
Sergt. j. H. Killourhy shortly after the
Gamewell telegraph was introduced, and
has never been changed, except to suit the
change IN the hours OF the patrolmen

800 AND THIRTY DAYS.
NJ. Cohen Given the Full Penalty For
Sunday Liquor Selling.

Nj. COhen Given the Full Penalty For
Sunday Liquor Selling.
NJ. Cohen was sentenced by Recorder
Wilson yesterday to pay a fine of $1OO and
spend thirty days in Jail. Cohen was
charged with having his barroom on River
street open at o'clock last Sunday morn
ing and selling liquor at that time The
case grew out of the arrest of two women
Sunday morning for lighting. When the
recorder investigated the case he found
that liquor had been purchased and the
evidence pointed to Cohen as the seller.
Cohen denied the charge, and introduced
evidence to show that he remained in bed
until 10 o'clock Sunday morning, and, con-
sequently could not have sold the liquor
as charged. The evidence was conflicting
but the recorder decided against Cohen.
He announced some time ago that the
next saloon keeper who came before him
for selling liquor on Sunday would if
guilty, be given the full penalty allowed
by the law, 500 and thirty days. Cohen
had never been up before, but it was his
luck to be the first to come before the
recorder after this announcement.
Mr.. F. NJ. Oliver represented Cohen,
and gave notice that the case would be
certioraried to the superior court. The
amount of the fine was deposited with
the clerk Of council and bond was given
for Cohen's appearance before the supe-
riOr court

DIcKMAN'S BEE-FEEDER.

A, slot Is IN. wide, cut entirely through
block for bees to come through to get feed: :
/ to II are slots cut g in. wide, 1sz in. deep.
to hold feed. This to be covered with
screen, which is raised by placing l1-in.
strips around edge and across center.
other slots, six on each side of the CEN
ter slot, three-eighths of an inch wide,
are cut 1s4 inches deep, and out as near
each end as possible; one-eighth inch of
wood is left between the slots for the
bees to crawl up on and to keep them
from drowning.
These center walls, save the one on
each side of the center slot, have a
portion cut away, down as deep as the
s!ots are cut, which permits these slots
to FL evenly though the feed be poured
at one place. Small strips one-half
inch thick are nailed around the edge
and one across the center; over this
piece of common door screening,
cut to fit, is placed, and another small
strip one-eighth inch thick is nailed
t. hold the screen in place.
These feeders were placed over each
colony by cutting small strip out of
the burlap and placing the center slot
go as to come between, or rather di-
rectly over, the space between two
combs in the lower story. We believe
this feeder TO be as good as any we
have yet seen, as you can feed at any
time without the bees being able to
come out of the hive. If the feeder is
full of bees It matters not, as you can
pour your feed right on them and fill

VIII be drowned. If you wish to stop
feeding and the feeder is full of bees,
SIMPLY place the feeder on the ground,
bottom side up, and the bees will soon
return to the hive. But we have d.
crossed.
White clover yielded very poorly at
first, but got some better, until a crop
of $500 pounds was taken by the ex-
tractor. Then we had short cessation.
when the Eastwood flow began, and
crop of 1000 pounds was harvested
and the honey from 222 stands not re-
moved, which (if it had been removed)
would have swelled the entire crop to
over 1000 pounds. Two tons of this
honey would have sold at 1o@12H cents
per pound, and nearly one ton on hand.
There is considerable capital invested,
but this crop did not take three months
work of one man.
The query did it pay?" seems to be
very easily answered. One load of i 500
shipped a few days ago brought as
much as 300 bushels of wheat. or 1000
bushels OF oats. or $1,000 pounds of
corn. Whether it paid or not, we think
you can find us next year as in the past
20 years-still in the business.-Jacob

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Over-fat hens are in danger of apo
plexy.
Wheat is among the best foods for
laying hens.
Generally it is not good plan to feed
stimulating food to poultry.
Except for feeding soft food troughs
should not be used. Always scatter
grain.
While sour milk is relished by the
hens, it should not be made to take the
place of water.
The goose will lay about as many
eggs as the turkey and can be raised to
maturity at about one-half the cost.
A goose is not fully matured at one
year old, but sometimes breeders will
couple old males with young females.
Avoid getting them too fat. and give
them plenty of opportunity for exercise

In Africa there exists a tree-crab
which has a trick Of crawling up a
cocoanut tree. biting of half a dozen
punches and then creeping down again
backwards. The theory is that the nuts
are shattered by the fall, and the crab
thus enjoys hearty meal. Now the
natives try to stop these depredations.
which often ruin the cocoanut crops,
and take advantage of the fact that
the lower portion of the crab is soft
and sensitive. When they are heard in
the tree the native climbs half way up
the tree and drives in circle of pixies
made out of thorns. The consequence
is when the crab comes down he en-
counters the thorns, and, supposing
that he has reached the ground, he lets
go. and is so crippled by the fall that he
is easily dispatched and eaten in his
turn
