cure the services of a physician when need
ed. Other physicians think that 1t is the
duty of the city physician to attend 70
these cases, the city physicians think 1t
is the duty of the one living nearest the
barracks to attend to this work, and it has
several times happened that this particu-
lar physician is not at home or is attend

police. The city physicians have no tele-
know the residences of the physicians they
have difficulty in finding them, especially
after midnight.

THE INTERSTATE DRILL.
Eight Thousand People Witnessed the Cadet Battalion Drill-The Galveston Cup
 Contest Takes Place Today.

Savannah, May 13.-The city is filled with people today from all parts of Geor- ga and adjoining states, and all incom- ing trains are crowded. Eight thousand people witnessed the cadet battalion prize drill for 5000 at the military interstate parade ground between the cadets of the South Carolina Military academy of Charleston and the Gordon Institute Ca- dets of Gainesville, Ga, this afternoon. The drill was one of the most exacting in military sense, that has ever been given to cadet corps. The judges were Col. A. R. Lawton and Capt. J. F. Brooks of the First regiment infantry, Georgia volunteers, and Maj. o. T. Keenan, of the Second regiment, Georgia volunteers. Both cadet battalions made splendid sight as they appeared on the drill ground.
 The list of commands given to the com- manders by the judges included practi- cally every movement in the manual at arms and field maneuvers, with the ex- ception of the battle exercises. While the announcement of the result of the con- test will not be officially made until Fri day, 1t is pretty generally conceded that the prize will be awarded to the South Carolina battalion. Tomorrow the inter- state drill will take place between the Morton Cadets of Washington, D. C., and the Oglethorpe Infantry of Augusta, Ga., for the Galveston cup, now held by the Thurston Rifles of Omaha, Neb., and de- clared forfeited by Adjutant General Mabry of Texas.

 Begin Work Today.

The board of directors of the Birming- ham Turkish Bath and Swimming Pool company held meeting yesterday after noon at o'clock.
 A report from the committee on build ing and plans was made, and the specifi- cations and plans of MT. G. c. Penley were adopted and he was awarded the contract for construction.

The work will be pushed as rapidly as possible, and MT. Penley stated to a State Herald re- porter last night that he would have It completed in forty days. The swimming pool Is to be 80 feet long and 30 feet wide, with the water from 3 feet and 6 inches In the shallowest to 6 feet and 6 inches in the deepest place. The bottom of the pool will be of the smoothest tiling throughout.
 A splendid system of Turkish Russian, shower and ordinary tub baths will be in apgurated with tonsorial department added In fact, they will have an up-to- date natatorium for the accommodation of the most fastidious.

Mckinley Will Get N orth Carolina.

Raleigh, N. C., May 13.-Over thou- sand republicans are here to attend the state convention tomorrow. The excite ment Is intense. There is a very sharp quarrel between Senator Pritchard and State Chairman Holton, and also be- tween the Russell and Cookery factions. The latter is so bitter that 1t looks to- night as if James E. Boyd would be nomi- mated for governor. Chairman Holton says he thinks Cookery will be nomi- mated. He says no free coinage reso1u- tions will be adopted.
 Senator Pritchard was interviewed and said: There is no organized opposition to Mckinley; there is an overwhelming invitation for me to become state chair man. I do not desire it, but prefer to see Holton retain 1t. The convention will declare for both gold and silver The resolutions will be somewhat stronger than the Ohio resolution. There is no opposition, so far as know, to me as sena- tor. I really cannot say who will be nominated for governor. It is impossible to give an intelligent forecast. I will offer strong resolution in favor of hay ing 8 protective tariff for the raw ma terials of the south and the agricultural products; also a resolution for the pros lection to ship owners in accordance with the proposed legislation by Senator FL kins. A number of populists are here to confer with us on terms looking to fusion upon the basis of a division of the state ticket or ?
