Inasmuch as Herr Most, the prince of

A RUNAWAY AND SMASH-UP

James Phillips, employed by Furrey
& Co. as a driver, called at The Herald
Office last night to correct statement
in regard to an accident which he met
with on Saturday. He was driving
down Main street when his rig Eas run
into by another wagon which had in
turn been run into by runaway. The
three rigs were all damaged and Phillips
was thrown to the pavement by the over
turning of his wagon. He escaped with
slight bruises.

How is that Mckinley has come to the
conclusion that the silver dollar is dis

free and unlimited coinage from
the time he entered public life down

AS great outpouring of those who
favor sound money, prosperity and the
election of Mckinley" in Cincinnati the
other night, the meeting was presided
over by a railway president with rail-

the principal speaker and the next best

When Mr.. Boutelle gets home and re-

who live under such heavenly influences

Mckinley is right. The cotton states
flourished under the operation of his
tariff. A good many cotton mills were
removed from New England to the south
during that period. Cheap colored labor

Electric signs Here.

The Electric Supply and Construction
Company exhibited last night for the first
time in Savannah an electric sign" The
sign was placed on their building on Dray-
ton street, aud was the most conspicuous
object on the whole street. These signs
are constructed by the company, and can
be made any size from 6-inch letters to
giant letters six feet high. The letters are
one blaze of inca ndescent light, mellowed
so as not to inture the eye, but at the
same time to afford sharp and positive
lines of electric light. These signs are
certainly the most effective ever put up,
and their general use in the large cities
north and west shows how pop ular they
are They are capable Of standing wet
weather or wind, and at all times give the
best light possible. Special figures are
given by the electric light companies
everywhere to the users of these signs,
and the Electric Supply and Construction
Company will make them at very low
figures.

Policeman Mock Looking After Rid
ers without Lamps and Bells.

Charlie Mock, the bicyclist of the police
force, is proving himself terror to riders
who are inclined to overlook little matters
like bells and lamps. which are required
by the city ordinances. About a dozen
riders have been docketed this week, in
GLIDING several well known people, lady
being among the number.
Louis Fernandez was the first TO pay over
a dollar Louis didn't like it a bit, but he
has good company now. J. l.. Nesbit,

lady have each paid 81 at the request of
Recorder Wilson, and Ben Lowenthal, j.
w Hallett, l.. Desboulllons and Edward
williams, the latter colore6, are on the
docket for tomorrow
The result OF Policeman Mock's work is
very noticeable. 1t is a rare thing to see
a bicycle on Bull street now at night with
out a light. Since Recorder Wilson has
become a bicyclist himself he appreciates
the necessity for requiring an bicyclists
to comply with the law.

THE CADETS THANKSGIVING.
Forenoon at the Rifle Range and the
Afternoon at Athletic Park.

The Savannah Cadets will make a day
of it in their Thanksgiving contests with
the rife and on the athletic field. Their
programme for the day will begin with
their early morning assembly and will
close at the First Regiment armory late
in the afternoon.
The company will assemble by order OF
Capt Brooks, at the armory at TAO O'Clock
this morning AS soon as everything
preparatory is arranged, the command, in
heavy marching order. will proceed to
Avondale range.
1t is difficult 10 say when the pro-
gramme for the annual target contest,
that has been held for the last few years
on Thanksgiving day. will be concluded
as the days of late have been attended
with heavy fogs, which have failed to lift
sufficiently to admit of good shooting un-
til late in the forenoon. If to-day brings
such a fog, the opening Of the contest
will be delayed too long TO allow the COM
pany TO return TO the armory to be dis
missed for dinner.
In order to be prepared for such a con-
tingency, Capt. Brooks has instructed
every man to have lunch in his hayer-
sack, so that, If the shooting runs into

all of the 100. 200, 800. 500 and 600 yards
ranges a handsome gold medal will be pre-
scented. All the awards will be made at
the range Immediately after the conclu-
sion of the contest.
The field day sports win begin at 3
o'clock at Athletic park. The contestants
have been practicing faithfully and sys-
tematicaliy, because ii is their company's
entertainment, and as another, they want
to make as good a showing as possible
for the medal to be awarded the best all
round athlete rs Indicated by the score.
Ten events are down for the afternoon,
all of which Will prove interesting, and
several have never before been witnessed
here.
The officials for the contests, as selected

Mr.. ]. T. Shuptrine has fled an appli-
cation with the city council for permits
sion to repair and place an, iron roof on
the old Lamar mill building, which was
burned recently for the purpose of con-
Quoting a lampblack factory.
The insurance agents objected to the
use of the building for lampblack fac
tory when Mr.. Shuptrine first applied TO
council for permission to establish such a
plant there The permission was granted,
however, and when the building burned
it was generally regarded as a vindica-
tion of the position of the insurance
agents.
some of the members of council take the
same view and are inclined to hesitate he
fore granting Mr.. Shuptrine another per-
NIT
Mr.. Shuptrine appeared before the COM
mittee of the whole last night. He in
formed the committee that the prevalent
impression concerning the lampblack fac
tory was a mistaken one. No 1ampblaclS
had been manufactured at the mill, " said
and Furthermore the fire originated in
the store room, where there was no lamp
black or anything OF the kind, consequent
ly the fire could not have been caused by
spontaneous combustion of the lampblack.
Mr.. Shuptrlne contended that the lamp
black manufactured from rosln is not sub
ject to spontaneous combustion as Is the
case with that manufactured from petro-
leum residuum The committee took the
application under consideration.

An Interesting Meeting Looked For
mt YOnge's Hall Tonight.
The Southside Improvement League will
meet at Yonge's hall tonight, for the
purpose of mapping out its plans for the
future. In order to do this the league
will be thoroughly reorganized and pres
ident and other officers, together with an
executive committee, will be elected. To
the executive committee, with instructions
from the club, will be entrusted the mat
ter of carrying out the plans 10 view.
There is nothing political In the move
ment, the members of the league say,
their only object being to secure from the
city administration their necessities.
Their absolute need, they say, are sewers,
a more efficient water supply, the opening
of certain necessary streets, and a better
police protection. Many of these improve
ments, they say they were promised by
the administration that is now in power,
but the promises were never fulfilled. The
meeting tonight, it is said, is not in the
interests of any one but the residents and
property owners in the southern part of
the CITY, The executive committee will
be instructed to look into the matter and
see Just what can be secured in the way
of necessities, as luxuries, they say, are
not asked for. They look upon 1t as an
investment on the part of the city, from
which, they say, the returns will, in time,
be far greater than the amount expended.
The meeting tonight will probably be
largely attended, and will, no doubt be
an interesting one.
