ELECTION REGISTRARS WORK.
Getting the Voting List In Readiness
for Nov. s.


The registrars have had the registra-
ton list turned over to them and they
are now engaged in checking up their own
sheets and adding the names of those
who have registered since the last cleo
ton. There are ffty-flve of these names.
Chairman r. ]. Warrick of the regis
trars says there was so much work for
them to do to get the sheets in readiness
for the last election that they could not be
checked over in the manner desired. For
this election, however, they will have
more time, and the work will be done
thoroughly. One of the sheets, that for
the Second district which was poorly and
illegibly written for the state election, will
be rewritten completely. No kick from
the managers, MIR. Warrick says will be
coming on the sheet for this district at
the next election.
The registrars are not employing any
clerks to assist them now. Having the
sheets already made out and but few
names to add, smplihes and makes their
work much more easy.

CHILLY IN CAMP BROWN.
SECOND GEORGIA SOLDIERS IN
BORROWED OVERCOATs.

Clothing and blankets Loaned the
Lieut.. Oft to BE in Command of the
Camp This Weea-The Battalion
VIII Reasonable Next Week TO BE
Mustered out May Be In Camp
Ten or Fifteen Days.
Lieut.. Walter p. OFT, Company K, Sec
ond Georgia Regiment, takes charge of
Camp Brown to-day to relieve lieut.. 7.
N. West of Company L. Lieut. West has
been in command of the camp for week.
1t is now the turn of Company K to furn-
1sh an officer to be in charge of the guard
and the government property, Company L
and Company NJ having already had off,
GERS to serve. Capt. Cam would take
charge, but he was out yesterday for the
first time after an attack of fever.
After Lieut.. OFT has served a week, an
officer of Company B will take charge.
This viii bring Ii up to Nov. 4, when the
battalion viii reassemble. The expiration
of the furloughs on which the men are
now absent will fall on that day, and all
win get back into quarters. This, it is
safe TO say, will be to the great disgust
Of many of them.
There are a number of the men on fur
Tough who have already gotten back into
the places they had before volunteering.
There are others who have secureS posi-
tons, and they do not like the IDEA of
giving them up for the fifteen days it is
said will be necessary for the work of
mastering the battalion out of the service.
Many of them will probably make some
sort of an effort to keep out of camp,
and in their positions during this time,
but how they will do 1t is not known.
They viii in all likelihood have to take
another dose of camp life.
Cold weather has struck the camps.
The men have been having considerable
hardships to suffer from the cold. Night
before last particularly the soldiers of
the battalion had a hard time of it. Most
of them had two government blankets,
but no overcoats Two blankets are not
sufficient to keep a man warm in cold
weather. Capt. Hopkins had a lot Of
blankets and overcoats sent out to the
camp yesterday from the supply Of The
Guards at their arsenal, and there is now
no reason why any of the men should
suffer from the cold. This will give each
man an overcoat and three double blank
cts. The increased covering will be great
~ appreciated by the men. The blankets
and overcoats will be returned to the
Guards on the battalion being mustered

The Stevens-CIark Company Pressed
by Several Creditors.


The Stevens-Clark Company of Savannah
was placed in the hands Of a temporary
receiver yesterday by order Of Judge Fall
llgant. This action was taken on applca-
ton OF the Snow Steam Pump Works and
others who present claims in different
amounts against the defendant company.
The Snow Steam Pump Works of New
York claims an indebtedness Of $770.S3; the
LobdeH Carwheel Company Of Delaware.
an Indebtedness Of sS04.67; DeGraw Aimdr
g. Co, of New York, an indebtedness of
S1.66, Crane & Co., of New York, an in
debteduess Of $245, and the Eaton Cole &
Burnham Company an Indebtedness of SAT-.
This amount Of more than $l,S00 is said TO
debtedness of the company.
Judge Falligant appointed Sheriff John
T. Roman temporary receiver, and he took
charge last night. The case is set for a
hearing as TO whether a permanent recelv-

claimed, however, that the company has

The Market Advanced "a Cents {
Gallon Last Week.


Spirits turpentine As on veritable boom
In week the price has advanced 514 cents
a gallon. There was an advance of ~ cents
yesterday.
1t is said the domestic demand has fore
ed the price upward. 1t is known, too that
a large exporting firm is in need of sup
plies to ship on steamship due to arrive
here for a cargo in about a week. The
stock on hand is only Y, 21S casks, against
S4,Ol2 casks at the same time last year.
The turpentine operators and factors
have reason to be jubilant over the present
situation of the market. The price Is the
highest paid since the opening of the sea-
son in April l. Last year the price went
to 80 cents about Oct. 10, but dropped
to 20 cents a few days later. After that the
market was run up until it again reached
50 in January, and In March reached 80
cents, but the extreme high price only
held for a day.
Tho movement at present appears to be
healthy. The conditions of supply and de-
mand are shown IN the strong demand for
the offerings. The expected Increase in the
supply held back the European buyers ear
dy in the season, but the losses occasioned
by frequent storms during the past two
months have put different phase on the
situation and the chances are that the
price win continue to advance.
