SESSION OF GRAND LODGE.

Good Time in Augusta.

Knights of Pythias Anticipating
Good Time in Augusta.
The Knights of Pythias do not yet know
just how large delegation will attend
the approaching session of the grand lodge
at Augusta, though some Of the officers
expect their companies to turn out in
fun.
There is a natural anxiety on the part
of each captain that enough members go
10 FIJI the ranks for competition in the
prize drills, which will be one of the fea-
lures of the session.
A number of difficulties have arisen
which may interfere with the attendance.
With view to determining what number
may be expected to attend, the matter was
brought up at a recent officers meeting
The result was not altogether gratifying,
inasmuch as all the captains except one,
were by no means sure enough men would
go to insure their companies participating
in the prize drill Should they fail in this
there will be no little disappointment, as
the Knights in Savannah have given much
attention to drill, with results that are
highly pleasing to them.
The grand lodge win probably not be at
tended by the number it was expected
would attend, before hostiities with Spain
commenced. Before long il will be kno wn,
however. as the officers intend to ascer-
tain just what the Knights expect to 40
about going.

ChicIxamauga Canes.
From the New York Press.

An enterprislng Georgian, common
wood hauler, who knew nothing but the
pipe clay In his native roads. suddenly
turned up at the centennial Of 1876 with
money in his clothes, taking IN the sights
and stopping" at the best hotels. He had
made a small fortune selling war relics to
the credulous visitor They were canes cut
on the battlefield of Chickamauga, he said,
and his booth was daily emptied OF its
stock, and as often was US stock replen-
ished Car loads we're shipped to him from
the swamp back of his ten-acre farm about
ninety miles from Camp Thomas, but no.
body knew the difference, and none cared.
If all those canes had been cut Off Chic
kamauga there would not be enough wood
left for a camp fire.

WAR BRINGS HIGHER PRICES.
Cost of Flour, Sugar, Coffee and
Grits Goes Up n Notch.

Cost of Flour, Sugar, Coffee and
Grits Goes Up n Notch.
War prices viii soon be felt in Savan-
nah, though there is no very great adj
vance yet. Wholesale prices have jump
ed on many staple articles.
Dealers are not inclined to attribute
some of the heavier advances to the war
alone. On nothing has the price advanced
more than flour, the wholesale price of
which has gone up 81 on the barrel of 1893
pounds. This is due, it is claimed, to spec
ulation alone and would have come had
there been no war. A few other articles
have advanced from causes eXtraneouS to
hostilties.
On sugar the price is up about cent
a pound, and it is said, will go on higher
later on. BY some this is attributed to the
fact that sugar comes South now by rail,
the shippers being unwilling TO send by
the water routes on account of war. A
different reason is assigned by other
wholesale men, however, which is that the
American Sugar Refining Company, that
now has about 900 tons tied UP in Cuba,
is the power pushing the price. rise
of 50 cents per barrel is noted on grits, 10
cents per bushel on oats, cents per pound
on green coffee, as also advances on the
different grains.
Some retail grocers do not think the
public will feel advances until the local
dealers replenish their stock. Some of
them had laid in stocks before the raise,
and Will not, therefore, have to squeeze
others until they are squeezed themselves.
The retail price is, by no means the same
with storekeepers, each having price set
by himself

Jim for the time being, some one at the
house gave him a plate of "tarkel' soup.
This he took to his stand, placed 1t at

Explosion of Powder Magazine
Would Cause Great Damage.

Explosion of Powder Magazine
Would Cause Great Damage.
If the city's powder magazine should
explode the damage to property would be
extremely great This knowledge is spur
ring Alerman Smith to have the magazine
removed to the property recently acquired
by the city on the Ogeechee road.
The greatest care is taken around the
magazine to prevent even the possibility
of an explosion. No one is allowed TO
enter the place without taking his shoes
on. The reason for this is that the fric-
uon produced by the nails and leather on
rock floors, is apt to ignite a stray grain
OF powder that might communicate to
other grains and then to a lzeg. 1t is said
me shock from an explosion, such as the
clty's magazine would produce, would be
greater on account of the fact that both
me city and the magazine are located on
Sisht elevations, between which is a
stIetch of low ground.
AS soon as plans now In the hands OF
erehltects are turned over to the city, Al
GERMAN Smith expects TO have the maya
~-he building erected on the Ogeechee land.

Far as 1t Is Completed.
THE adage that a ne= broom leaves

s,rated lust now on that portion of Dray-
IAN street along which the paving has
bssn completed. The police have had
heir nerves unstrung some days appre-
bending an accident on account of the
,,nususllv heavy traffic. especially about
,be dinner hour when bicycles and all
sorts Of other vehicles are going both
ways.
The Council found it necessary to re-
real the ordinance restricting wagons
rom Bun street until the Drayton street
having Is completed. 1t is now finished as
far as Jones street and within this limit
ali vehicles have given Councils invita-
ton the shake, pTeferring to use the

20 their destination more quickly and
without cutting around so many graceful
curves around squares.

marked yesterday that Bull street, the

whether this will continue remains to
he seen; but in view of the roughness of
whitaker street, together with its being
tIackaded with car track. and the
curves TO be wound around on Bull street,
II would seem that Drayton,' a clear,
straight shoot for vehicles, would get the
bruut Of traffic. There are reasons which
the authorities believe will make the new
" paved street decidedly preferable in
connecting the two main sections of the
city.
Alderman Davis was asked whether he
thought the rush to Drayton street would
REQUIRE any action by Council, as for in
stance, allowing the provisional ordi-
nance for wagons to pass on Bull street
TO remain intact. This might prove an
advantage in distributing the travel,
whereas, if the ordinance is again passed
requiring them TO keep off the boulevard,
travel would be sure to remain TOO heavy
on Drayton street. Alderman Davis does
not fear any continued rush, however, be-
lievjng everybody wishes to try the new
street and that they will duely seek old
routes.
Wagons will be restricted from run
ming on Bull street." he said, ''as soon as
Council has notice of the completion of
the paving on Drayton. The city has no
power to specify on what streets wagons
shall run, but it has the right to say on
which they shall not run. 1 apprehend
absolutely no trouble from the apparently
crowded condition of the street at times
