TRADE: NOT wAR-sCARED.

wholesale Grocers Say Business Was
b Never Better.
The war scare does not seem to have
materially affected the wholesale trade
yet. The wholesale grocers report that
they are doing splendid business.
I'VE have never had a better business
than that we have had during the last
few weeks" said a prominent grocer yes
terdaS "Ordets from the country have
been large and satisfactory. The city
trade, TOO, has been very good. Buying
is lively. especially in the lines of goods
upon which it is expected war taxes will
be placed. Small dealers, who usually buy
a bag of coffee at q time, are now buying
four or FIVE Since the Morning News an
nounced that a war tax of cents per
pound would probably be placed upon COT
fee the housekeepers have been laying in
supplies. The country trade is stocking up
on tobacco, but their orders on all lines
are good and collections have been unusai
ly satisfactory. We have no complain;
10 make of the time"
"What do you think will be the effec;
SHOULD war be declared?" he was asked.
81 can't size up the situation until il
comes he replied. II have never believed
that we would have war and / am doubt
full of it yet. There would probably DC
a temporary depression of business, but
1 do not think ii would be lasting"
A well-known jobber in heavy groceries
predicted that in case of war there would
be an advance in the prices of meat and
breadstuffs. There are no large stocks
of wheat and other foodstuffs on hand,''
he said. THE amount of food necessary
to provide an army of $1,000 to 100000 men
VIII make considerable impression upon
the market. The amount consumed at
home will be practically the same as be-
fore these men were withdrawn from their
ordinary occupations, and the amount re-
qurcd for the army will be simply so
much extra"
Two prominent Tennessee millers, Mr.. j.
J. Mccain of Nashville and Mr.. j. H. La
nier of Memphis were asked this question.
one thought wheat would go up and the
other thought il would so down in case
of war, so there was an even balance of
opinion.

COL. LESTER URGED TO RUN.
HIS FRIENDS CALL UPON HIM TO
ANNOUNCE HIS CANDIDACY.

They Want II known Definitely That

That Case They Pledge Him Their
superintendent Letters to This
Effect New Going Forward-The
Movement Begun by Col. w. j.
Winn.
A strong demand is being made upon
Hon. Rufus f. Lester that he be a candi-
date for reelection to Congress. Letters
have probably already been received by
him, and at any rate number will be
received shortly, urging him to announce
his candidacy for the tifty-sixth Congress.
Col Testers friends have been for some
time in state Of uncertainty as 10 wheth-
er he would be candidate for fe-electior.
With one candidate, Hon. Alfred Herring
ton, already in the field and the probability
of further opposition developing, his
friends concluded that 1t was time for Col.
Lester to make known whether or not he
would be candidate for reelection.
The initiative was taken by Col. w. ].
VIM, of this city, who prepared and sent
out number of letters to personal friends
of his own, whom he knew also to be
friendly to Col. Lester. Enclosed with each
letter from Col. VIM was a letter ad-
dressed to COT Lester, inquiring if he in
tended TO be a candidate for Congress
again and urging upon him to do so. The
recipient of the letter was requested 10
sign the one to Col Lester himself, and
also to get any of his friends who might
be of the same way of thinking to do so,
and then forward the letter with the sig
natures to Col. Lester at Washington.
There was a prompt response to these
letters, and Col Lester has probably re-
ceived ere this a number of communica-
tions requesting him to announce that he
will make the race. Many of the gentlemen
to whom letters were forwarded by Col
VIM replied to him, giving names of 9TH
er friends of Col. Lester in various parts
of the district and suggesting that similar
letters be sent to them in order that sigma
lures might also be obtained by them in
their respective neighborhoods. These re-
quests have been complied with, and in
this way the movement has extended far
beyond the original intention of Col Winn
Frequent requests are being made that
such letters be sent, and it is likely that
Col. Testers mail will be quite extensive
for some time to come.
Col. Wiun presented orfc OF the letters to
few of his friends here yesterday with
the result that their signatures were secur-
ed Immediately. Among those who joined
in the request upon Col. Lester were May
or P. w. Meldrim. Hon. F. G. duBignon
Hon. S. p. Adams and Capt Henry c.
Cunningham.
The movement is not confined to savan-
nah. In fact, it is more general in the other
counties of the district than in Chatham
Numbers of the best citizens of the various
counties of the district are uniting In the
request upon Col Lester.

BAzAR.s SECOND NIGHT.
II Was IA Success in Spite of the
Rain.


Despite the rain of last night there was
a good attendance at the Hussars bazaar.
During the early part of the evening 1t
looked dubious, but visitors began to ar
rive as the rain held up, and the results
of the energetic work of the ladies were
very encouraging.
The guests of the Hussars were the
Naval Militia, who were out in force. This
was the only command at the supper ia
BILE, but some evenings during the contin-
uance of the bazaar there will be two COM
panies. Tonight the Republican Blues
Will be out, and tomorrow night the Og-
lethorpe Light Infantry and the German
Volunteers will be entertained. The Chat-
ham Artillery will have Friday night.
1t has been decided to run the bazaar into
next week. The entire week may be TAX
en- up, but there is a certainty of the ba-
Ear running until Wednesday night. Next
Monday night two companies of the Sa-
vannah- Volunteer Guards will be in at
tendance, and the following night the Sa-
vannah Cadets will partake of the hospi-
talities of the troopers and their lady
friends.
The entertainment for children by chill
dren on the roof garden yesterday after
noon was not very largely attended. Only
10 cents admission is charged for the little
ones who may come or be brought to the
garden, their nurses being allowed to ac-
company them. The ladies in charge OF
the entertainment decided the small at
tendance was due to the children generally
not knowing of the entertainment. 1t will
be repeated this afternoon, the hour being
from until o clock. The young people
who were seen and heard in dances, songs
and recita lions were very clever and the
little folks greatly enjoyed their efforts.
The Gypsy song and dance by Misses
Marguerite Stults, Gladys Girardeau Rosa
lind Wood, Master Ralph Meldrim and
Harold Moyneio was especially good, the
young performers executing it with the
fitness given by long training In the dane
ing schools. Master Sammie Brown in
his character sketch was also very good.
Others who took part in the entertainment
were Miss Lucille Perlinski and Miss Mar
guerita Haylow, the recitation OF the for
mer and the dancing of La Cachucha by
the latter being greeted with boisterous
applause. Miss May Palmer was pianist.
The vaudeville was not held al night,
owing TO the weather. The rather di-
aphanous nature of the coverings over
the garden made it dangerous for the
ladies to venture with their dresses, so
the vaudeville was abandoned for the
night, with the assurance of the promoter
that il would be continued tonight with
renewed vigor.
The ladies who are assisting the troop
with their generous and tactful efforts
are sure to make the bazaar very success
full Those at the several booths and Ia
bles are interchangeable, and the fund Is
peing rapidly swelled through their work

place throughout the convention, the first

The delegations of drummers will ar
rive this morning. They will come from
the posts at Macon. Augusta. Columbus
and Atlanta. None of them will come by
the same route, the Maconltes getting
here first by the Central. The Augusta
delegation will come in by the steamer
Clifton from Port Royal, arriving at 7:45
o'clock. A telegram received by Presi-
dent Lovenstein last night indicates that
there viii be $50 from Augusta, delegates
and their wives.
The Columbus delegation will arrive
over the Georgia and Alabama. The drum

ton being Friday morning.

There Is NO Royal Road to wealth.
seIf-HeIp VIII Always Beat Good

Luck.
There is a crowd of mourners in every
city who are constantly bewailing their
bad luck" They tell of the chances they
had to make fortunes, but they didn't
make them. They point out tracts of land
or city lots which they once had the Oh.
portunity of buying, but did not buy. and
ieil how much the property is now worth.
To hear them talk one would think that
they had been robbed or cheated out Of
their own by the parties who now own tho
property. Now, the truth is those growl-
ers never had chance to make money
out of such an investment for the reason
that they had not the nerve to take the
risk
There are just as good openings for prof
table investments to-day as existed in
years gone by, but people who complain of
their bad luck will miss them now Just
as heretofore.
Savannah will keep on growing, and
some day Ninth street will be like Gwir-
nett street, the center of the city, and
