Like Each Other.

The New Year is ready for business at
the sams old stand. 1t started without a
single hitch and on time as usual-some
how it resembles the well regulated Hick' S
restaurant, which always runs on time
and perfectly true to it's high standard
Hicks intends the '97 standard, however,
to be higher than that of '96, and while
such thing seems impossible, yet the
present year will witness a higher degree
of perfect service at his matchless restau-
rant. The artistic windows changed every
day attract a great deal of attention and
give some evidence of the thoroughness of

POLITICS BOOMING AGAIN.
Both sides to Hold Meetings This
Week.

The political wheel Of fortune began to
revolve again with the new year. The
politicians had good rest during the hol-
days, and they are now ready to go at
their work with renewed energy. The
prospects are that the campaign will be
quite lively from this on and there will
doubtless be considerable warmth.
The Citizens Club will resume its Fri
day night meetings this week and the Lib
eral Club is also expected to call meet
ing. In fact, 1t is necessary for the two
clubs to get to work at once in order to
formally put their tickets in the field
Committees must be appointed at the
meetings this week to select candidates
for mayor and aldermen and report back
TO the clubs for confirmation. Allowing
the committees a week in which to per-
form this work they will be able to report
the results of their labors back to their
respective clubs in just about sufficient
time TO allow of the tickets being filed with
the clerk of council as required by law.
All ballots used in this election are, under
the present law, furnished by the city,
and all tickets intended to be placed upon
such ballot must be filed with the clerk
of council five days previous to the cleo
ton.
The public is still in the dark as to
whom the two parties will nominate. Col.
Garrard's name has been put out as

of those in position to know is that Mayor
Myers VIII be named as the clubs candi-
date. There was a conference at the De
Soto last night at which nearly all the
leaders of the club were present, and at
which this matter was undoubtedly dis
cussed. The conference was of short du-
ration and could hardly have agreed on
the aldermanic ticket. 1t is understood,
however, that nearly all of the present
board of aldermen will be renominated.
Those present at the conference were nom
committai as to what occurred there.
The Liberal Club people are undoubted-
ly looking about for good aldermanic tim
Der, but there has been little talk as yet
aS to who+will be on the ticket. AS to
its candidate for mayor the Liberal Club
seems satisfied to dazzle the public with
an arraY of possibilities.

FERTILIZERS ON THE MOVE.
Heavy Shipments Under the 20 Per
Cent Reduction.

The fertilizer men began shipping heaV-
lily yesterday Having received the as
surances OF the members of the railroad
commission that the reduction of 20 per
cent. IN fertilizer rates was In effect, with
out a doubt. from Jan. /, and knowing
that they would be protected In this rate
by the commission. they are not delaying
their shipments on account OF the posi-
ton taken by the railroads that the re-
duction is not in effect because a rehear-
ing has been granted by the commission.
Very little fertilizers were shipped In
December, and there is q large amount
Of stock now on hand in the factories and
warehouses. The manufacturers and
agents have sold largely, and the indi-
cations are that this will be a good year
in the business. The time Of shipments
extends, as a rule, through January, Feb
ruary and March, so the short period from
now until Jan. 6, the time of the re-
hearing. really cuts very little figure in
the grand total Of the business.
There was one break in the ranks of the
railroads yesterday. Telegrams were re-
ceiyed here from Augusta, saying that
the Georgia was receiving shipments at
that point under the new rate, but that
other railroads were not.
The argument of the railroad men that
the reduction of the rate, by reducing the
differential will benefit the manufactur-
ers on the coast at the expense of those
in the interior is not well founded, the fer
tilizer men claim. The argument would
have some weight, they say If the coast
manufacturer had any advantage over
the interior manufacturer, but such Is not
the case.
THE manufacturers of fertilizers Sc
cure nearly all their ammoniacal products
from the west" said one fertilizer man,
"and Atlanta being nearer the west, gets
her material at a lower rate than the
coast cities Atlanta gets the same rate
on phosphates as Savannah, consequent
ly. If anything, the advantage is with the
Atlanta manufacturer. This being the case
the railroad argument that the ddfferential
between Savannah and Atlanta would be
reduced to S2.40 instead of $780, as at pres
ent, is Of no effect In these days, when
manufacturers sell fertilizers at a profit
of 80 to Is cents a ton q different!al Of
$40 is the biggest kind of protection. 1t
is enough to keep everybody else out of
Atlanta's local territory and the same
thing applies to the local territory of ev-
cry other manufacturing point"

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Policeman GuiIfoyIe Arrested For
Shooting Levi Rutledge.

ShOOtAnE Lew HutleuEe.
Policeman Joseph Guilfoyle was arrest
ed yesterday on a warrant sworn out by
r. N. Rutledge, charging him with the
murder of the latters brother, Levi Rut-
ledge. who was killed in Yamacraw by Po-
lceman Guilfoyle while endeavoring to
place him under arrest, on Christmas day.
The warrant was sworn out before Jus
tice Bevans. Constable H. T. Beckett of
Justice Bevans' court was given the pa
per He went to police headquarters and
notified the chief of it's having been issued.
Policeman Guiifoyle was thereupon called
in from his beat and Constable Beckett
placed him under arrest. The constable
did not carry him to jail, but kept him
under personal surveillance until he had
been given the hearing and procured a
bondsman.
An appeal for bah was at once
made to Judge Falligant who granted a
hearing yesterday afternoon. After a
brief hearing Judge Falligant granted
bail in the sum of $500. Bond for this
amount was furnished at once by e. j.
Kieffer, and Guilfoyle was released.
The circumstances of the killing are we'll
known. Policemen Guilfoyle, Jernigan and
Schroeder went to Rutledges house and
place of business at Bay and West Bound
airy streets to place him under arrest. This
was done at the request of another negro
who said that Rutledge had threatened to
kill him. Rutledge hid behind a bed under
a staircase and when discovered by Po-
licemas Jernigan, rose pistol in hand, de-
flying them to shoot. Policeman Guilfoyle
fired over his brother officers shoulder,
the ball piercing the forehead ana resulting
in death about an hour later.

BICYCLES IN COLLISION,
w. w. Gordon, Jr., Run Into by n
CoIored Rider, Who Was Racing.

CoIOred Rider, Who Was Racing.
AS a result of racing. a colored bicy-
clist was badly injured at Bull and State
streets about 1880 o'clock last night, while
Mr. W. W. Gordon. Jr., into whom he
ran at the northwest corner, received
couple of bruises, and had his bicycle bad
ly damaged.
Mr. Gordon was riding out Bull street
on his way home. Two negro bicyclists
were racing around the court house
square, coming from the direction of the
court house, and one of them was going
so fast, when he reached the corner that
he found it necessary to make a long turn
in order TO get around. When Mr. Gordon
saw him coming he went TO the right as
far as possible and almost up to the curb
Ing. while the negro tried to come around
and pass on his left. Seeing what he was
trying to do Mr. Gordon turned again to
give him room, and as he did so the negro
turned also. The two wheels came to-
gether with a crash, as did also the two
riders. Mr.. Gordon was slightly bruised
on the knee and his trousers were badly
torn, but he was otherwise unin-
jured. The negro however was thrown
from his wheel by the force of the coll
lision and fell on the sidewalk near the
curbing. He was quite badly hurt about
the head and shoulders but the fun ex-
tent of his injuries could not be learned
last night, nor was his name known by
any of those who saw the accident. The
negro who was racing with him evidently
saw there was danger Of trouble when
the collision came, and he kept on as
fast as he could go.
II would seem that the numerous ac-
cidents as the result OF reckless riding
would lead TO the passage Of some ordi-
nance against racing or scorching within
