PLANNING ron THEIR CONVENTION
Drummers May Change the Date of
Their Meeting Again.

A meeting of the members Of the Savan-
nah Post of the Travellers Protective As
ISOLATION was held yesterday morning at
the Screven House. It was called for the
purpose of perfecting the arrangements
in so far as might be possible for the en-
tertainment of the drummers during their
state convention in April.
President Lovenstein presided over the
meeting, which was fairly attended. Com
mittees were appointed to wait upon the
merchants who have subscribed TO the en-
tertainment fund. These committees will
call in day or two upon the merchants.
giving them chance TO pay in the sums
they have subscribed. The drummsrs
hope they will meet with success in their
collections. They believe the merchants
are ready to assist them when they are
called upon, as the convention is to be of
commercial character. The travelling
men consider that the conventions, giving
them, as they do. opportunity to meet and
discuss their business as it is found all over
the state, are no small factors In the sue
cess of their work.
The date of the convention may be
changed again. 1t is now fixed for April
lib, which is the time originally settled
upon. When the merchants wanted to
have gala week celebration in connection
with the convention il was decided by the
travelling men to fix the date, April 1920,
that they desired. The gala week has now
been abandoned and the drummers decided
TO go back to the first date They
now talk of changing again so as to
have the convention April 1920. The chief
objection to the later date is said to be
from the shoe houses, which like to have
their men on the road early.

THE REGISTRATION SLACK.
Number of Voters who Go on the
Books Daily Falling of.

Books Daily Falling OFF.
Some concern is manifested on account
of the slow progress the registration is
making. When the county registration
books first opened in the Office of the tax
collector there was considerable of a rush.
and voters registered at the rate of so to
so a day. Now there has been a great fall
ing off. and those who should be interested
are paying comparatively little attention
to the matter.
The total registration at the hour for
closing the books yesterday was 1,5l5. the
great majority of whom were registered
during the first four weeks the books were
opened. OF those ] ,224 are white and 29l COL
ored. Only thirteen voters were registered
yesterday, and the list has been creeping
up slowly from day to day at about the
same rate. On some days only eight or ten
have registered.
This being a political year there is no
doubt that the registration will be large,
and the question is why are the voters
holding off Those who put the matter Of
registration off to the last moment are la
BILE to get in the rush and either have a
great deal of trouble in getting their names
on the books, or get left out altogether. 1t
is an easy matter to secure registration
now IL may be more difficult later.

SHOT HER FACE AWAY.
Negro Woman Killed at Tybee by
Accidental Discharge of a Gun.

Negro Woman Killed at Tybee by
Accidental Discharge of a Gun.
Coroner Goette returned from Tybee last
night, where he held an inquest over the
body of Kate Barnwell (colored), who ac-
cidentally shot and killed herself Friday
night. The jury returned verdict to
the effect the killing was an accident
and absolved the woman's son from all
blame.
The boy had been hunting rabbits on the
island and returned late in the evening to
his home near the Chatham Club house,
of which Barnwell was keeper The wo-
man was in the yard, where the gun was
handed her by the boy. In some unac-
countable manner it was discharged in her
hands, while she was on her way to the
house. The shot struck her below the
temple and tore away the entire front of
the face. Her husband heard the shot
and soon reached her, and on entering
the house he found his wife swooning in
blood. 1t was evident the boys statement
was correct in claiming the affair was an
accident The gun seems to have been
passed to the woman, muzzle foremost,
and was discharged in some manner by
her after she took it.
The body was brought to Savannah last
night ana was taken to the house of rela-
tives on Gwinnett street.

The police have received a number of
kilograms asking that a close watch be

of the fugitives being vague and no names

fugitives, whose names are Dan Smith,

Frenchy Smith. BY splicing the two
messages the police are enabled to get

A Few Pungent Points on a Promi-

A Few Pungent Points on "A PrOmI-
nent Business.
The Maine disaster. which occurred last
week, was such a shock to the citizens
that they lost thelr appetites for a day or
two. They had fully recovered, yesterday,
judging from the many orders sent in to
Logan for Sunday supplies.
1t is a gratifying fact to note that peo-
pie are becoming more and more convinced
that Logan is the butcher with whom to
deal. AS caterer to the household, he has
no equal in Savannah, and as one to whom
an order for supplies for banquet can be
entrusted. there is none SO reliable.
Logan never gets left on anything that
helps keep his business up to the highest
standard of excellence in every depart
ment. That is why his business increases
every Week-ad.

Merit Means Money Made.

You cannot advertise money out of peoples pockets all the time;you may do it now and then, but if you don | give them something of absolute merit in return, advertising will nev- CT prove successful. The kind of ad- vertising that pays is advertising a good thing. As it has merit the peo- pie will use it again and again. New CT has this been better illustrated than in the great success of Casca- rets, candy cathartic, that we have been lately advertising in this paper. All druggists call Casearets, repeat CTS. that is. people buy them. like them. and buy them again and rec ommend them to their friends. Cas- carets are guaranteed to cure consti- patton or money refunded, and are delightful laxative and liver stimu lant, the best medicine ever made. We recommend all our readers to try them.
