every probability that this will be DONE
The sanitary board met yesterday and
unanimously adopted a resolution recon-
mending to council that the quarantine
be removed.
A meeting of council will be called this
morning, for the purpose Of taking action
upon the resolution. There is little rea-
son to doubt that the step recommended
by the sanitary board will be taken by
council. Mayor Meldrim presided at the
meeting, and heartily approved the action
of the board
The removal of the quarantine, which
has now been in force about three months,
will be received with unalloyed pleasure
by the business interests generally. The
railroads, which have been greatly ham
pered in their operations by the measures
taken for the protection of the city, will
be greatly relieved. AS a result, through
train service between Savannah and Mont
gomery by both the Plant system and the
Georgia and Alabama railroad will be re-
stored this morning.
Requests for the removal of the quaran-
tine had already been received from the
railroads and large amounts of freight,

MELDRIM ON CO-EDUCATION,
Uncertain Whether the Time Has
Come for II In the University.

Uncertain Whether the Time Has
Come for 1t in the University.
The question of co-education of the sexes
has been brought directly home to Savan-
nah by two measures introduced in the leg
islature by Representative Law. the col
ored member from Liberty. One measure
provides for the education of girls as we'll
as boys at the colored Industrial college
near Thunderbolt, and the other for the
appropriation of 5000 to build a girls dor
mitory at the college,
Mayor Meldrim, who is president of the
board Of trustees of the college, was spok
en- to about the bills, but said that ne had
not given them his consideration yet.
On the question of co-education of the
sexes at the state university Mayor Mel
drim said that he is not opposed to CO.
education at the university, provided the
conditions and surroundings are suitable.
Il am thorough believer in higher ed
uca ton for the girls" he said. 1.-THE first
resolution before the board of trustees
of the university providing for co-educa-
ton was introduced by me several years
ago. 1t was tabled at my request and has
never been taken up. i stated at the time
that, INTRODUCED the resolution that It
was not with the intention of urging such
action upon the board, but to call its at
tention to one of the important questions
of the, age which must receive it's consld-
GRAFTON sooner or later AS to whether the
time has come for co-education at the uni
versity am unable to say.
THE girls are entitled to
share in all the advantages of higher edu-
cation now offered There are several
very fine schools for girls in this state
Perhaps these do not offer the same adj
vantages which their brothers have at the
university. Before anything is done in
this direction the practical side of the
question Should be considered. How are
they to be provided for?
THE university is already over-crowded
and the faculty has all 1t can do to attend
to the instruction of the male students
The faculty would have to be increased.
the buildings enlarged and additional IA
cilities provided How Is this to be done?
There is already a movement in the legis-
lature to deprive the university of the 800. =

PETE YOUNG WILL RECOVER.
But VIII Wear a Knife Wound in His
Throat Some Time.

Pete Young, colored, who was seriously
slashed across the throat Saturday night,
will not die, as was at first thought by
DR., Norton. While he lost large amount
of blood before the cash was attended
to. yet he has sufficiently recovered to
again.
After reviving somewhat, Young was
able to tell the police who did the cut
ting He said that w. G. Davis did it,
and that he is a strange negro in Savan-
nah. After passing a bowie knife across
Young's neck, however. he took to the
road and is doubtless well on his way to
some other part of the country.
In view of the prospect of Young's re-
covery, it is not probable that vigorous
attempt will be made to catch the man.

Weeks Opening Attraction.

will be the attraction at the theater to-
night.
The burnt cork artist Is distinctly an
American product, and with more or less
prominence he has been in evidence on the
stage for over three-quarters of a centu-
ry. AS early as 1915 negro impersona-
tons were given in connection with melo-
drama, but it was not until 1913 that spec
ial minstrel troupes were organized, the
first consisting of the famous quartet, Dan
Emmett, Frank Brewer, Billy Whitlock,
and Dick Pelham, who gave their initial
performance-the first of its kind ever CIV
en- anywhere-on Feb. II, 1913.
Since this date the passage of years has
witnessed hundreds, if not thousands, of
similar organizations, and this arm of the
dramatic art has raised into national, and
in some instances, international renown,
such familiar names as Dan Emmett,
Charley White, George Christy, Eph Horn,
Neles Seymour. Billy Birch, Billy Backus,
Ben Cotton, Bob Hart, Ben Gardner, Luke
Schoolcraft, Gus Howard, Billy Gray,
Robert Slavin, Tony Hart, Lew Benedict,
William Arlington, Cal Wagner and Billy
Kersands. The last named has out-lived
all other performers of note, and to-day is
as popular as ever, and is the star of
Richards Pringle's company.
The Manhattan Stock Company one of
the finest companies of players ever APP
pearing in Savannah at reduced prices, will
be seen again at to-morroW's matinee, and
for the balance of the week. The play
for the matinee will be the comedy THE
