SHOLES' SAVANNAH CITY DIREC-
TORY.

The fact that Savannah is at last to be
properly numbered seems now an assured
fact, and the publisher of the city direc-
tory proposes to mark the change from
old things to new by making the volume
for 1897 material improvement upon all
which have preceded it.
For eighteen years A. E. Sholes has pub
lshed a directory for Savannah which has
been the equal of that of any city, has
dealt fairly and honorably with his pat
rons. and satisfied everybody with his
work This year he proposes to do better
than ever before, adding several new
features to the book, among others a new
and complete map of the city engraved
expressly for it, No work will be done
for Shcles' Directory until the numbering
is well advanced, and no orders solicited
until further announcement is made, and
patrons and friends of the old and rela-
Bile City Directory will see that any orders
signed by them are made out to A. E.
Sholes.
This notice is given from the fact that
certain parties of whom our citizens know
nothing, either personally or as to their
ability as directory publishers are re-
ported to have been soliciting orders for
an opposition work, and If the business
and professional community want a re-
liable directory of the city they will re-
serve their orders for the publisher who
by years of labor and experience has
qualified himself for reliable work

GEoRGIA'S HEROES IN GRAY.
DESIGN FOR THE CHICKAMAUGA
MONUMENT SELECTED.

The Committee Picks II From
Thirty Drawings Submitted For
Their Inspection ana Approval.
1t VIII BE in the Form of n shaft
of Georgia Granite. go Feet High,
Standing on a Triangular Base 20
Feet in Extent-FOur Bronze Fig
IRE to Ornament 1t.
Atlanta, Ga. Sept. 1S.-The commission
authorized by the last legislature and ap-
pointed by Gov. Atkinson. to have charge
of the placing of the monument to com
mernorate the valor Of Georgia soldiers on
the battlefield of Chickamauga, in the
Chickamauga national park, met here to-
day and selected the design for the mon
ument. The commission is composed Of
w. 5. Everett of Atlanta, chairman; Mai.
Joseph B. Cummings of Augusta, ex-Gov.
Boynton Of Spalding county and Hon. Cor
don Lee of Walker county, all of whom
were present at the meeting.
Some time ago the commission came to-
gether in Chattanooga TO receive designs
for the monument. Thirty sets Of plans
were opened and inspected, but no selec-
ton was made. All nut nine were put
aside. and the meeting to-day was to de-
termine between these. That selected was
submitted by the Muldoon Monument
Company of Louisville. 1t viii be in the
form of a shaft of Georgia granite 60 feet
high with a triangular base 20 feet or
more in extent. On the summit of the
shaft will be the bronze figure and on the
three sides of the base will be other bronze
figures, representing the three branches
of the confederate service-the infantry
artillery and cavalry. There are some
slight changes to be made in the drawings
but this is a substantial outline OF the
work. The amount of money appropriated
for the monument by the legislature is
$4,000, but not more than $4,000 will be
put into the monument proper, the re-
mainder being required for other contin-
gent work The exact site of the monu-
ment has not yet been selected, but will
be as soon as the amended drawings are
accepted and the contracts signed. In
speaking of the design, Maj. Joseph b.
Cummings said that it was incomparably
handsomer than the monument of any
other state so far erected in the national
park. Thus the valor of the brave Geor-
gia soldiers who took such a glorious part
on the bloody field of Chickamauga Will
be appropriately commemorated.

wAYCROss is FOR BRYAN.
Capt. HammOnd's Reception There
Not Enthusiastic.

NOT
Waycross, Ga, Sept. 1S-About 125 peo-
ple gathered at the opera house tonight
TO hear Capt. w. NJ. Hammond of
brownsville speak on the issues of the
day, under the auspices of the Palmer
and Buckner Club.
Col. Meyers introduced the speaker in
q short speech, quoting Mr.. Bryan's
words My vote is my own etc.
Cat. Hammond began in his usual elo-
ouent way, but soon turned to the Chi
cago platform and proceeded to slash 1t
with the ordinary sound money sword.
He said nothing out of the routine, but
used some bitter invectives against the
democratic platform and the convention
that adopted It, He said he would rather
have his right arm cut off than vote for
Mckinley, but he looked upon him with
more favor than the reformers. He said
that the republican bolt at st. Louis was
a grand-stand play, but that the demo-
cratic bolt at Chicago was sincere. He
Haunted Altgeld and Tillman in the face
of his audience, as the leaders of the
Chicago convention. He declared against
the income tax. He endeavored to enthuse
his hearers by poking fun at the organ
lied democracy, but 1t did not take. At
the mention of Bryan's name as the cam
didate of the democracy the audience
broke forth IN tremendous applause. Capt.
Hammond was literally applauded on
many points in reference to President
Cleveland. From the applause, when he
declared for Palmer and Buckner, he
must have had fully twenty-five sympa-
thizers in the audience.
When Capt. Hammond finished Col.
Meyers read a letter from Hon. H. G..
Turner, in which he expressed his SYM
pathy with the new party.

HOT SPELL SHOWS A BREAK.
Slightly Cooler Predicted by the
weather Officials For Tonight.

Slightly Cooler Predicted by the
weather Officials For Tonight.
Two such days as yesterday and the
day before do not often fall to the lot of
Savannahlans. Day before yesterday led
off with 81 degrees of temperature. Yes
terday the maximum was one degree low
er, but the mean was degree higher
II degrees above the average.
The day was not, but the night was un-
endurable. There was hardly a breath of
air, and the heat settled down like a fog.
People staid out of DOORS many until
midnight in the hope of a breeze spring
ing up, but none blew.
The universal amount of humidity in
the atmosphere made the heat more Sc
verely felt than 1t otherwise would have
been.
Work was carried on with difficulty on the
wharves and in the railroad yards during
the hottest part of the day. So far as
known, there were no fatalities. although
a number of people were overcome by the
heat. The loading of ships was slow on
account of the intense heat on the
wharves. Up in the city 1t was little bet
ter People kept on the shady side of the
streets and out of the sun as much as
possible.
The indications sent out by the wealth
er bureau a midnight gave a little hope,
however, for a let up to-day. The forecast
is for showers and slightly cooler tonight,
with variable winds.
The hot wave extends all over the south
ern country. tMillen reported 1903 degrees
last night, Eastman 1O1 degrees, Alapaha
and Cordele SO degrees, Albany and Amer
icus 9S and Waycross and cambridge 81
degrees The average for the Savannah
district Of the cotton belt was 81 degrees.

SEIZURE OF THE THREE FRIENDS.
The Vessel Held Subject to Orders
From Washington.

Jacksonville. Fla, Sept. 1S.-The United
States revenue cutter George s. Bout
well, which left port Wednesday night.
Immediately after the receipt of the news
that the steamer Three Friends had been
seized at Fernandina, returned this morn
ing. and is again anchored in the river
opposite the foot of Liberty street. Col
lector Bisbee says that the cutter did not
go outside of the St Johns river, but re-
manned all day Thursday at Mayport
Collector Bisbee said this morning that
he had heard nothing of the seizure of
the Three Friends by Mai Anderson,
special inspector OF customs. The latest
from Fernandina is that the steamer is
being held subject to orders from Wash
ington 1t is not known upon what au-
thority the seizure was made, as the dis
trict attorney could find nothing to war
rant the vessel being held when an in
vestigation was held on Wednesday night.

DON'T LIKE sEAB WRIGHT.
POpuIists of COlquitt County Refuse
to Endorse Him.

to Endorse Him.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 1s.-There is some
dissatisfaction among the populists about
the nomination of seab Wright. Informa-
ton reached the city to-day that at the
populist convention for Colquitt county.
held at Moultrie a few days ago, a mo-
ton was made to indorse Mr.. Wright.
This provoked discussion. in which de-
cided difference of opinion was expressed.
The result was that a motion was made
TO adjourn, and the convention adjourned
without making the Endorsement. This
development is Of importance, because it
confirms previous reports from different
parts of the state to the effect that Mr.
Wright was not altogether acceptable to
the rank and file of the populists. Diff
ferent reasons were assigned, sometimes
that he was not a populist and had
never declared himself to be one, some-
times thar the prohibition idea was not
popular in some sections. The main idea
seemed to be that he was not party man,
but an Independent, whom the leaders had
picked up on short notice without stop
ping to ask whether he stood on the plat
form as a whole or not The news from
Colquitt that a county populist conven-
ton refused to indorse the nominee of the
party for governor shows deep feeling on
the subject, and seems to presage break
in the populist vote on the state ticket.
