SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS. MEET
Field Worker Miller Discusses sun
day School Work.

Field Worker Miller Discusses sum
day School Work.
Sunday school work was before a meet
ing of the superintendent and representa-
tives of several of the schools of the city
last night at the lecture room of the First
Presbyterian church. Mr.. ]. H. Miller,
field worker for the Georgia State Sunday
School Association. was present, and con-
Quoted the meeting He delivered the ad-
dress of the evening.
Mr. w. b. Stubs of Wesley Monumen-
toll church. introduced Mr. Miller. The adj
dress was on the line of the best results
that may be obtained from the Sunday
schools and the best methods to be pur-
sued in order to make them a success.
The blackboard was used for illustrations.
Mr. Miller made many suggestions that
were seriously regarded by the superinten-
dents, and some of them professed an in
tention of acting upon them.
Upon the conclusion of his address, Mr..
Miller asked the superintendent in turn
to tell what they regarded as the best
features of their schools. Mr. Mant Hood,
spoke for the First Presbyterian school;
Mr.. C. v Snedeker for Trinity Rev.
l. Il
Arson, chairman of the board of elders,
for the Independent Presbyterian school.
and Mr.. Stubs for Wesley Monumental
school Each spoke of the best features
of their schools, and also of the features
they regard as not conducive TO the best
results. Mr.. Miller expressed satisfaction
with the encouraging reports, and sug-
gested remedies for the troubles Mr.. K.
b. Reppard also made a short talk.
1t was suggested that the superintend-
ents of the schools of the city should or
sanize an association. The suggestion met
with favor. and it is probable that it will
be adopted Ways and means for the
formation of the association were discuss
ed. A suggestion was made that "a meet
ing of all the Sunday schools of the coun-
ty be held about Dec. Z. This seemed to
fall in with the ideas of those present,
and it is likely that it will be held and
that a county association of Sunday
schools will result. Mr.. Miller said he
would be glad TO return at that time to
assist in the work. His aid will be very
welcome to the workers and would doubt
less prove Of great benefit to their pur-
pose.
The girls of the Savannah Orphan
Home were present at the meet
ing, and their well-trained voices
added greatly to the music They
were complmented by Mr.. Miller. The
meeting was concluded with a prayer Of

RICE PLANTERS GOOD YEAR.
The Yield Has Been Fair and Prices
Good.

GOOD.
The rice planters have better reason to
be satisfied with their condition this year
than for several years past. They have
a fair yield, are getting good prices and
have suffered no damage by storm.
At the same time, however, the plant
ers are very much disappointed at the
yield, although it is fully up to the aver
age When the harvesting began in Au-
gust all the indications were that there
would be a heavy yield, of fine quality.
The fields appeared to be covered with
heavily weighted heads OF rice. As the
harvesting proceeded, however, it was
discovered that appearances were decep-
tive. The heads were not as well filled
out as had appeared to be the case, and
the result was u lighter yield than had
been anticipated.
In consequence the receipts are a great
deal less than had been calculated upon.
The quality is good, however. and rice
is bringing 81 a bushel and upwards AS
this is the best price obtained by the
planters in the last three or four years.
they have no reason after all, to feel dis
satisfied,

IMPROVING BULL STREET.
SEWERS AND PAVING FOR THE
SOUTHERN SECTION.

Bull street TO BE Paved With Gravel
From Anderson to Twelfth Street
Is Observation-Disclosures KrOuskOT
Wants More Gravel Pavements Pat
Down.
Extensive Improvements are to be made
on Bull street from Anderson to Twelfth
streets. Sewer pipes are now being
laid as a commencement Of the work. The
prime object of the sewer pipes is the
carrying away of the surface water, which
has been a source of some trouble of late
The sewer itas thought by the street and
lane committee, will carry off the surface
water which accumulates after each rain
and will remove all cause Of complaint.
Alderman Krouskoff, in whose section
the work is being done, says it is the desire
of the committee to pave Bull street with
gravel al the earliest possible time after
the completion of the present work of lay
ing the sewers. He thinks the cost of the
gravel paving will be such as to warrant
the committee in putting it down without
delay, in so far as the matter of expense
to the city is concerned.
In fact I do not think the city is pay
ing enough attention to the paving of
streets by this process" said the alder
man. when the difference in cost is
considered, 1 am much in favor of the
gravel street as against the asphalt paw
ing, which the city now possesses. The
gravel is compact, noiseless and there is
nothing more than nominal cost in main
tanning it after the work has been done"
The prominence of Bull street as a boul-
evard intensifies the desire of the alder
man 10 place it in better condition and
the other members of the street and lane
committee are in hearty accord with him
on the subject. 1t is the calculation that
the proposed paving will be done before
Jan. l.
The improvement of Bull street will give
boom to property along that street in
the southern section. ..t----.-'

TO GO TO THE GRAND JURY.

The Charge Against McChesney on
Account of "a Contract.
Bond was given yesterday for the re-
lease of G. r. McChesney whose arrest.
charged with larceny after trust, was re-
ported in yesterdays Morning News. 1t is
claimed that contract existed between
Mr.. McChesney and an agent, by which
the agent was to receive certain salary
provided he wrote a stipulated amount of
insurance each month. The agent failed
to meet the contract, 1t is said, but claim
ed that the funds to pay him had been
sent to Mr.. McChesney by the company.
This assumption, which is denied by Mr..
McChesney, is said to be the basis of the
prosecution.
The papers in the case have been sent TO
Atlanta, and the attorneys for Mr.. Me-
Chesney say they expect to hear nothing
more of the case.

FLoKIDAs QUARANTINE SYSTEM
DIR. Porter Is Satisfied With the Way
1t Is Carried On.

1t Is Carried On.
Health officer LeHardy has received a
letter from State Health Officer Porter of
Florida in reference to the Florida quar-
antine. The quarantine in Florida is I'M
der the control of the state board of health
and, in DR.. LeHardy's opinion. it is the
best and most vigorous system of quaran-
tine in the southern states.
Since the yellow fever has prevailed in
Louisiana and adjoining states, the only
quarantine in Florida has been that main
tanned by the state at its boundary lines,
with the exception of Pensacola, which
for short time undertook to establish a
local quarantine. That, however, was soon
done away with.
In his letter to DR. LeHardy, DR.. Porter
says:
Il will at some future time write you at
length concerning Florida's plan or system
of quarantine; just at present 1 can only
answer your inquiry about the reported
action of Pensacola. l feel rather conf
dent that you have seen the newspaper
accounts of that city's withdrawal from
the position assumed under fright and
misapprehension. They did throw a cor
don around Pensacola during my tempo
rary absence and there was some disposl-
ton to maintain it despite my protest
(you will recall that this county has only
been under the control of the state board
of health few months and has been run
ming things its own way so long 1t may be
pardoned for thinking it could continue its
self-government in health matters.
brought the state law to its attention, wiz
ing the governor also on the subject, but
even before his message to the mayor was
received they receded from their position
and matters resumed their even sway.
With this exception there have been no
quarantine lines in Florida, other than
those around the states borders, both
coast and interstate
Gravel within Florida has been unre-
stricted and free from the petty and con-
slant annoyances of local guarantees.
The people seem to have been so we'll
drilled and had so much confidence in the
state board of health that there was small
disposition to even suggest what some
times are thought to be advisable meas
ures to the board. They left the care of
the states health to the states officers
and aside from most fattering and com
plimentary press comments health matters
have been undisturbed."
