The Second and Third divisions of the
battalion of Naval Reserves win hold a
meeting at their armory over the post
Office tonight to nominate the officers

Although there have been several delays
in getting positive orders, the naval mill

called Out every day A telegram from
Mr.. T. H. Clgniiliat last night gave furth-
er assurance that the battalion viii be Sc
lected, and the fact that the government
has just purchased eight large liners
makes il necessary TO enlist more men in
the navy.
Mr.. w. ]. Thompson, the well-known
pilot, and Mr.. w. Norman Beckett. who
Is at present in charge Of the signal sta
ton at Tybee, have received their COM
missions from the Governor, as Lieutenant
junior grade and ensign, respectively. in
the Second division. 1t is probable that
the officers who are elected on Wednes-
day night after passing the naval ex-
aminations, will be commissioned by the
President direct, and together with the
enlisted men, become q part of the United
navy permanently.
Both Brunswick divisions have signifed
their choice of officers and viii hold their
election also on Wednesday night.
AS the officers of the four divisions will
be unanimous in electing Mr.. Gignilliat
as commander, the Governor may be pre-
vailed upon to allow him and the lieuten-
ant commander 10 be elected Wednesday
night so as to save that much time in or
ganizing the battalion.

Son of MIR. and Mrs. c. L. Huston
Baptised at Independent Church.
The morning sermon at the Independent
Presbyterian Church yesterday was pre-
ceded by the administration of the ordi-
nance of infant baptism, by Rev. DR.
James Y Fair. Mr.. and Mrs. c. L. Hus-
ton of Coatesville, Pa, arrived in Savan-
nah Friday, coming for the purpose of
having their infant son baptized at the
Independent Presbyterian Church, to
which Mrs. Huston was so devoted while
she lived in Savannah
1t was a striking illustration of the low
atty and love the parents bear to this old
church. On these occasions. DR.. Fair
always uses the ancient formula of the
Church of Scotland from which the indie
pendent Church sprang, and the little fell
low was baptized in the church. in which
his forefathers have worshiped for gen
erations. He was christened James Stew
art Huston, in honor of his grandfather.

BOARDS OF CONTROL.
A Recommendation to b
Made to Abolish Them.

The state board of control has com
pleted It's work for January and the
members have returned to their
homes
The past few days has been devoted
to preparing the annual report which
has been completed. but which will
not be available for publication until
the legislative committee is through
examining it
II is understood that the board
will strongly urge the Legislature to
abolish the county boards of control
The state board will probably urge
that the state be divided into a num-
Der of districts-say eight or ten

for the inspectors. aud it is held that
their work Can be done much cheap
er and more satisfactorily by inspect
oIs
This is only general statement OF
the recommendation. the details OF
which will not be known until the re-
port is made public.
The indications are that the legis
lature will adopt the recommendation
and in that belief the board has not
filed any of the existing vacancies in
the county board until the Legislature
shall have acted The financial. state
ment will be very satisfactory not
witbstanding the opposition Of the
package establishments The
business is steadily improving and
the .tottering" institution seems to
have been strongly propped up again.
None of the members of the board
favor the idea Of operating the dis
pensary without the profit feature,
and it is doubtful if the Legislature
will seriously consider the PROPOSE
tion. Register
