The White Feather.

The story runs that, during war be- tween the backwoods settlers of North America and the natives, Quaker feasted the enemy and placed white feather over the door of his house as a sign of amity. The token was re- spected. Hence the phrase: Showing the white feather,'' which has come to mean cowardice.

rRAMPs BY THE SCORE.
The Police Have All the Free Lodg-
crs They Can Attend to.

The city is swarming with tramps. For
the last week the police barracks have
had from half dozen to a dozen dodgers
each night. These dodgers are, with occa-
sionaI exceptions. tramps.
The tramps have no fear of the police.
Early last night when the weather
seemed to be turning colder, Chief Nc
Dermott predicted that the accommoda-
lions at the barracks would be strained
to accommodate these voluntary guests
The colder weather failed to materialize,
however, and only half dozen dodgers
came in
The traInps were in evidence down in
the city during the day, and many Of
them were busily engaged at the tramp 5
faYorite notwithstanding. One fellow,
who walked .on crutches and held up one
leg, was very much in evidence in the
business section. AS a rule, the beggars
get the marble heart from the business
men, but with the housekeepers they have
better luck and a request for a bite To
eat" is seldom refused 1t is the Oeo-
pie living in the southern section of tho
city upon whom this request is chiefly
made, and when the tramps are found in
any number in the northen portion of The
city it is evidence that there is larger
number than usual in the city, and more
than the people on the south side are will
ing to take care OF.
Just south of the ew building of the Lit
tie Sisters of the P DOR, around the Belt
line bridge, is tram Os' headquarters and
they can often be found camped there by
scores. If a register should be kept there
of all the tramDs who call at that point it
would reach well up into the thousands
during the year When ever the tramps get
troublesome, which tn ey are liable to do
when they become too numerous, the city
detectives make a raid out that way and
send in dozen or two. Some of those are
arrested are likely to get short terms for
vagrancy, while those who can produce
evidence that they are really in search of
work are let go. The tramp movement
south is well under way BOW and all the in
dications are that it will be a heavy one.

REV. j. NJ. LOVE IT'S FAREWELL.
He VIII Leave To-day for IA Visit in
ScreVen County,


Screven County.
Rev. J. NJ. Lovett preached his farewell
sermons yesterday m orning and last night
as pastor of Grace Methodist church.
Large congregations were present at both
services.
Mr. Lovett spoke in very complimentary
terms of his successor, Rev. j. T. Ryder.
who was appointed to succeed him in the
pastorate Of Grace church by the Valdosta
conference. Mr.. Ryder, he said. is a man
of deep Christian earnestness, whose spir-
itual ministration to the people of his
church will doubtless be fraught with
much good.
The pastors farewell words to his con-
gregation were very touching. The sey.
erance OF his connection with the church
is deeply regretted by all. for during his
two years incumbency as pastor he has
greatly endeared himself to the members.
While the church loses an earnest ana
able pastor with Mr.. Lovetts departure.
Savannah loses a good and useful citi-
zen.
Mr.. Ryder is expected to arrive in the
city this week, and his first sermon will
be preached next Sunday.
Mr.. Lovett will leave to-day on n holt

TWO PIECES OF SIDEWALK.
At South Broad and Bull Streets

which abuts the South Broad street green

ner around the trees there and a side
walk built in such a manner that it is
necessary for pedestrians to take four
steps up and down in crossing South Broad
street on Bull.
Many people who have seen these small
bits of sidewalk in the middle of the
street insist that they are worse than
useless, and are only an inconvenience to
pedestrians, who would prefer to have the
street clear all the way across.
Not only this. but it is said also they
are dangerous, especially the piece Of
sidewalk on the west side of Bull street.
well-known Savannahian, when going
south on Bull street the other day, step
ped upon this piece of sidewalk, the rise
being about four inches He NATURALLY,
calculated there would be a fall of
about four inches on the other
side and measured his steps accordingly.
His fall was about six feet, and when he
picked himself up, narrowly escaping seri-
Gus injury, he found his fall was caused
by the fact that the curbing there was
about nine inches from the street, in
stead Of four. as he had calculated.
The attention of the city engineering
department was called to this feature of
the case, and it was announced that the
fault would be remedied. The curbings
at either end of this piece of sidewalk
viii be made the same distance from the
street. so that pedestrians win not be
misled, There have been several severe
falls at this place, from the same cause,
and narrow escapes from bad injuries.

CHRISTMAS RUSH BEGINS.
The Next Four Days Busy Ones For
EVerybOdy

Everybody.
The next four days will be busy DAYS
with tradespeople. Holiday buying has
been slow this year, but as about the same
amount of presents is bought every year.
merchants are prepared for a rush from
now until Christmas.
Savannahians never had larger or better
stocks of goods to select from. A glance
at the advertising columns of the Morning
News suggests gifts of almost every de-
scription.
The windows of the dry goods stores are
filled with latest goods. The furniture
stores are tempting domestically inclined
purchasers with new woods and upholster-
ing. Silver, to judge by the displays made
by jewelers. and dealers in novelties ia
wonderfully popular. 1t appears in every
conceivable shape. Articles designed for
ornamental purposes have absorbed whole
mines of it, while other things meant
for beauty as well as for use are scat
tered everywhere. Dresden china, so pop
ular last year, seems 10th to give up it's
former prestige. and is prominent in many
displays. 1t is principally shown i'm dress
ing sets, with hand-pa!nted designs. upon
which merry little cupids in all conditions
OF obesity carry on firtations and romp
around enhancing flower gardens.
There are many new pictures in the win
dows and new designs in the way of
framing them. There seems to be re-
vival OF gilt frames of the antique oval
pattern.
In the china stores and elswhere cut
glass rules supreme in the displays.

RuMoRED DOYLE WILL CONTEST
The story Comes From Col. Bucks
Headauarfers

Headquarters.
The statement comes from Atlanta that
ex-Postmaster Joseph F. Doyle is to con-
test Col. Testers seat in congress. The
Atlanta Constitution of yesterday SAYS:
Joe Doyle is to contest the seat of Con-
gresham Lester of the First district.
Doyle is the young republican who ran
against Col Lester. He claims that there
were democratic frauds in the First, and
he is going to carry the case before con-
gress. Col Buck had talk with Senator
Kemp, the populist, about the matter, and
secured, it is understood, promises that
the populists would lend their assistance
to unearthing the frauds they say were
committed by democrats in the First. 1t
developed from talks with leading popu-
lists, that Col. Buck is taking a deep per-
sonal interest in this Doyle contest 1.-THE
colonel, explained one of the men who
talked with him, believes this will give
him an opportunity of showing that his
tax about democratic frauds in Georgia
mas not been unwarranted, and he is go
ing to leave no stone unturned in secur-
ing the evidence on which to make this
contest. OF course, we'll help him. All
of which tends TO show that the republic
cans and populists are getting closer to-
gether in Georgia and that democracy
must fight united enemy in the future
If Watson and Doyle are seated by a re-
publican congress and if the populists get
the postoftices, might not the opposition
develop into very lively one?'
Mr. Doyle could not be seen last night
but the story that he will contest Col
Testers seat is doubted by his friends
Some time after the election, and before
the returns were all in, Mr.. Doyle was
asked if he intended to make a contest.
He replied that he had not decided. The
official returns showed Col Testers plu-
ralfty to have been 1910 over Doyle, and
his majority over both DOYLE and Miiier
