Mr.. w. f. McCauIey Elected by the
Chatham Bank Directors.

Chatham Bank Directors.
At meeting of the directors of the
Chatham Bank yesterday Mr. w. F. Nc
Cauley, secretary and treasurer of the
Propeller Towboat Company, was elected
cashier to fill the vacancy. created by the
death of MIR. Robert F. Burdeu. The fact
that the position had been rendered to Mr.
McCauley was announced in yesterdays
Morning News.
The fact that Mr. McCauey was elected
is evidence that he has accepted the ten
der of the position. Mr.. McCauley is one
of Savannah's best known young bust
ness men. With the Propeller Towboat
Company he has had q successful career,
and there is every reason to believe he
will do so with the Chatham Bank. He
has for some time been director in the
bank, and will continue in that capacity
even after ne assumes the duties of his
new office, which he will do shortly.
The Chatham Bank Is among Savan-
nah's most promising financial instltu-
tons. With a capital of $4,000 1t has
built up surplus Of $25, 600 In d compare
lively short time. and hes also 81 900 undi-
vded profits. 1t will be seen from this
therefore, that the capital stock, the par
value of which is $50 per share, Is worth
on the books of the bank between S5S and
$50 per share. The bank is in excellent
business hands, has progressive set OF
officers, who are always alive to the inter-
ests of it's patrons, and its success, there
FORE is not to be wondered at. 1t is the
general opinion that the new cashier will
aid the institution greatly in it's material
progress.

Likelihood of the association increasing the
rates on Savannah property, and it was

of the association, in whose hands the
matter of enforcing the increase in the
rates was left, to declare the higher rates

The agent was asked what the increase
would be In the event it should be declar-
ed. He answered that it would be 25 cents
on all rates.
Savannah is now virtually in the enjoy
mcnt of such rates as are given to cities
that have fire departpents,' he said In
conclusion.

ARRESTED A DOZEN.
Boys Rocked the Hindoos ana Got
in Trouble.

In trouble.
Justice Nathans had twelve small boys
before him yesterday on the charge of
throwing stones at the trio of Hindoos,
who have been wandering around the city
for the past few days.
The Hindoos have been living in a
house belonging to James Mcbride and on
account of their unusual customs of dress,
have attracted the attention of the small
boys, causing them to make remarks of
tantalizing nature when passing them
on the streets. They even carried their
fun further than this by assembling near
the house where the Hindoos lived on Bay
street and bombarding 1t with stones.
The boys soon fed but report of the
matter was made al the police barracks
and several of the disturbcrs were arrest
ed ct their homes about midnight and
lodged in the barracks.
In the meantime warrants had been OBJ
tanned by James Mcbride. charging the
boys with malicious mischief. When the
matter came before the recorder those of
the lads who appeared before him were
turned over to an officer to answer charges
which had been preferred against them
before Justice Nathans. No trial was had
at the time, but 1t is set TO come off Fri
day. The prosecutor states that 1t is not
his desire to have the lads punished but
his intention is simply TO give them a lit
tie scare, that their conduct may not be
repeated.
While before Justice Nathans lively in
cident occurred wpen one of the boys took
it into his head to run. An officer in the
court gave chase and soon apprehended
the runaway. AS a reprimand for the at
tempt to get away, Justice Nathans COM
mitted the chap to jail.

WANT THE WHOLE DAY.
Clerks VIII Make an Effort to Get
All of ThanksgiVing DAY.

The officers of the Retail Clerks Associ-
alton were gratifed by a considerable
number of the members responding to the
call for the meeting held last night at
the knights of Pythias' hall.
President H. A. Dumas was in the chair.
The principal matter before the meeting
was the consideration of plan by which
they could induce the merchants to al
low them the whole of Thanksgiving day
as a holiday. There was the unanimity
of opinion that might have been expect
cd that the clerks should have all of that
day. Considerable discussion took place,
and it was decided that the clerks should
advocate their being given the entire day.
The meeting was the best, in point of
numbers, that the association has held for
some time There has of late been a fall
ing off in the enthusiasm that signalized
the formation of the association and the
officers and leading members would like to
see its return.

PRESIDENT MYERS BACK.
The Proposed BANK Consolidation
Has Made Little Progress.

Has Made Little Progress.
President Herman Myers of the Nation
al Bank of Savannah returned to the city
yesterday, after a two weeks trip north.
It has been considered by many that
his trip had something to do with the pro-
posed consolidation of the Merchants Ma
tional Bank with the National Bank of
Savannah, but this, Mr.. Myers states, was
not the case. Mr.. Myers went north for
a rest and TO attend TO private business
matters.
When asked about the matter Mr. My
ers said there was nothing to report with
regard to the proposed consolidation. The
matter, he said, was in very indefinite
shape. There has been no consultation
between the officers of the two banks with
regard to the matter and it is not known
yet when such conference will take
place.
Some of the stockholders of the Mer-
chants National Bank, as has been stat
ed, suggested to Mr.. Myers that In their
opinion a consolidation of the two institu-
tons would be beneficial to the stockhold-
ers Of both, and gave as their reason that
they were not getting satisfactory results
from their holdings in the Merchants Ma
tlonal Bank. Further than this the mat
ter has not gone except that a circular
speaking of the proposition, was sent
out by President S. p. Hamilton of the
Merchants National Bank indicating that
a meeting would take place sometime in
the near future at which the matter would
be considered. 1t is probable that such a
meeting will be held within a short time
at which the matter of consolidation will
be discussed, but before anything definite
can be done the action of the stockholders
Of both banks will be required.

COMMISSIONERS TO MEET.
County Authorities to Hold Their
Regular Session To-day.

The regular monthly meeting of the
county commissioners will be held at the
court house at o'clock this afternoon. So
far as is known there is little to be done
outside OF the routine business a con-
tract will probably be let for painting and
retouchlng the court house. The matter
of the title deeds to property upon which
he taxes have not been paid and which
was bought in by the county at the sher-
tfFs Saie Will also probably como up. IL
Is expected that these deeds will be made
ont within a few days and that the coun-
~ will take charge of the defaulting
property. The matter of drainage Will no
doubt also be discussed since some
changes are desired in the location of the
convicts who are now doing work under
She direction of the city authorities.
