Uniformed Pythinns Planning for
indianapolis Trip.
Savannah bids fair TO be represented at
the biennial convention of the supreme
assembly, the highest tribunal of the Uni
formed Rank of the Knights of Pythlas.
The assembly meets at Indianapolis Mon
day, Aug. % and will be in session the

WILL LIKELY GO NO FURTHER.
Liberty street Paving 10 BE Paid for
without More Litigation.

The Liberty street paving case has prob
ably already gone through its court of last
resort. The intention of carrying It on
to the Supreme Court Of the United States
is believed to have been abandoned.
The property owners who were parties
to the litigation, are understood to have
concluded that the wisest course is TO close
up the matter and square accounts with
the city There is evidently some hope
felt by them that If the litigation ceases
now the CRY may accept the original
amounts due from them, and not charge
them with the interest for the past five
years, amounting to practically So per
cent. No assurances have been received
from the city, though, that such additional
grace will be shown them.
The city has all along displayed de-
sire to wind up the matter and get the
money in for the paving, and il may be
that the spirit it has shown In the past
is expected 70 continue now.
The amount due, according to the as
sessments made IN 1893, after the second
executions dismissed is between Sl2-
900 and $1,000 The court costs have run
ub into the hundreds Of dollars the inter
est will be over $1,000, and no one outside
of the property owners knows what the
attorneys fees are As the case has been
in litigation some years and has been car
ried 10 the Supreme Court three times,
the fees are presumably no small amount.
If the city collects the interest, It is safe
to say that the cost Of the paving to the
litigants viii he a least 60 per cent.
greater than Il would have been had they
settled up originally.

TAKING TIME WITH THE PAVING
a Number of Changes Yet to BE Made
on DraytOn Street.

on DraytOn Street.
Commissioner Willink is taking his time
in approving the Drayton street paving
From the present outlook, however, it APP
pears there will be a number Of alterations
which the commissioner has not yet or
dered.
The drain from Broughton to State
streets Is rather bad, about half an inch
of water standing on the paving in some
places and remaining there until it dries
x is said this is as much an injury to the
pavement as il Is a nuisance.
A great deal of water is thrown in the
cutters along there, though the standing
water for the last few days has been due
to sprinklng. In a number of places
further south there was about the same
complaint, but the asphalt company rem
edied it so that the water now flows off
uninterruptedly.
Commissioner Wil,ink does not intend
to be hasty in approving the work When
he Is satisfied the work Is according to
contract he has given the asphalt COM
pany every assurance of prompt action
In approving the job. The company is
anxious for this to be done al an early
day, as the ninety days in which the city
has to make final settlement does not be-
gin until this time expires.

LOOKING FOR SEA ISLAND BALE.

Farmers Not Exerting Themselves
to Get in First Bales.
Nothing has as yet been heard from the
first bale of Georgia or Florida sea island
cotton. The recent rains were very benefi-
clai to the growing crop, and it has been
expected that a new bale would be coming
along about this time.
A gentleman recently returned from a
trip through Florida says the farmers are
not exerdng themselves to get in first
bales" and that the arrival of a new bale
Just now would nos be an indication that
the movement Of The crop would be early
There is much complaint that the cotton is
shedding rapidly and does not mature
properly.
There are indications in Florida that in
some sections the yields will not be as large
as was expected earlier in the season.
Among the poorer classes of planters there
are many who on account of the prevail
ing low prices, were not able to borrow
money to keep the crop up even after it
was planted. and were compelled to leave
their fields and offer their services to tur-
pentine producers. In this way they were
enabled 60 get ready cash on which to live,
while their sea island cotton crops were
neglected. and consequently will make a
very poor yield.

Harvesting VIII Begin Early If

The prospects Of a good crop of rice of

is fattering just at present. Planters say
that the weather conditions, ever since

The fields are beginning to bloom out in
fine shape, and in a short time harvesting

The planters are all anxiously awaiting
the time to gather in their product, and
are trusting that the storms which usually
prevail at the season when they are ready
20 reap a harvest, will not come to do
them damage, as has been the case quite
a number of times.
There has not been any native rice in
the market for several months and the
price of the foreign product is exceedingly
high just now. This is an Indication that
the coming crop win be in strong demand
and prices win be satisfactory to the plant
ers.

FLAG FOR SECOND GEORGIA.
Savannah Ladies 10 Present Regi-
mental standard.

Savannah Ladies TO Present Regi-
mental standard.
The Second Georgia is to have a ,egi-
mental flag to complete its stand of col
ors The flag has been ordered from Lilly
of Columbus, and will probably reach here
the latter part of the week. 1t will be
formally presently to the regiment by
Lieut.. Walter c. Hartrdge in behalf of
the patriotic ladies who have within TIE
last two days secured the funds for ats
purchase.
Some time ago the ladies of Atlanta pre-
scented the regiment a set of national
colors. 1t was generally supposed here
that 1t also had a regimental flag, hut
such is not the case When it became
known a few days ago that the regimental
colors were lacking, Miss Cosens and Miss
Julia Owens determined at once to secure
them. Their success is such that the flag
was ordered yesterday and by next week
the Second Georgia's stand of colors win
be complete. The regimental standard
consists of blue flag with the Georgia
coat of arms and the reglmental insignia
emblazoned on it,
Ii IS safe to say that the
Second Georgia would not have been with
out a distinguishing flag had it been
known before that il had none. The i'm
preston was that the Atlanta ladies had
presented a complete stand of colors. The
fact that the regimental standard is lack
ing gives Savannah, which sent four fun
companies of the regiment to the front,
the opportunity Of presenting it. The ladies
through whose efforts it has been secured
viii have the grateful appreciation of the
entire regiment Lieut. Hartridge will re-
turn to Tampa this morning and VIII tell
the boys of the flag that is coming.

POWER HOUSE CASE ARGUED.
Judge FaIIigant Grants Temporary
AIimony to Eva Masters.

Argument was had before Judge Falli-
CANT yesterday in the case Of the Savan-
nah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Rail-
way Company against the Mayor and al
dermen and City Marshal John Power,
for the prevention of the collection of
city taxes on the power house property
of the company at Bolton street and the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railroad
crossing.
The argument was along the line stated
the other day. The plaintiff company was
represented by Hon. Pope Barrow and
the city by Mr.. S. B. Adams. Under
law passed in 1854, by which this property
was taken into the city limits 1t was pro-
vided that 1t should not be taxed by the
city until the plan of the city should have
been extended to cover that section. Boil
ton street has been opened across the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railroad,
and the city claims on that account that
the plan has been extended so far as that
property is concerned. 1t is claimed on
the part of the company, however, that
the opening of one street for a short dis
lance does not constitute the extension
of the plan to the section in question, es-
pecially since the City Council declared In
an ordinance in 1893 what the extension of
the plan of the city to that section con-
templated. Judge Falligant took the pa
pers and reserved his decision.
In the case of Eva Masters against 7.
B. Masters, petition for alimony, Judge
Falligant granted the plaintiff temporary
alimony of SIS per month, payable on the
first day of the month, and $25 attorneys
fees, 10 be paid in monthly installments
of IS per month.
In the City Court yesterday Judge Nor
wood dismissed the case of Annie J.
Clary against the Charleston and Savan-
nah Railway Company, damages for set
ting fire to the woods near Montieth, the
claim being that the fire destroyed her
crops. The case was dismissed on account
of the failure of the plaintiff TO appear.
