OPPOSITION IN UNDERTAKING.
Savannah Undertakers Look on Ne ~
Men as InterIOpers.

Savannah Underwriters Look on Ne ~
Men as InterIOpers.
A new undertaking establishment has
been opened up In Savannah as a result
of the coming of the Seventh Corps The
undertaken was in the business at Jack
sonville, and he got most of it that was
going among the soldiers. He did rat
Ting good business, but 1t is hardly pos
sible that he will do as well here, be-
cause there is not the business to be done.
The coming of new undertaken is not
regarded graciously by the old establish
ments. He is looked upon as an interloper.
One of the local undertakers said last
night that he does not think it right that
a man should come up here from jack
sonville to get the business that may be
had from deaths among the soldiers. he
reasons that none of the Savannah under
takers went down to Jacksonville while
the corps was there, and that similar con-
sideration should be shown them now that
the jacksonville profession does not have
the situation 20 deal with. He said he is
ready to protest against the coming of
new man, and that the other undertake
ers will join with him. He does not be-
lieve the soldiers ought to patronize
Jacksonville man now that they have
come to Savannah.
A private was heard to express his opn-
ion about undertaHers in Jacksonville and
the coming of one of them to this city.
Savannah people have treated us so
much better in every way he said, than
we were treated in Jacksonville that we
ought to patronize Savannah industries
altogether. The firm this undertaken rers-
resents got a corner on all the collins in
Jacksonville while we were there. The
government allows $35 for burial expenses
and gives a body transportation TO wher-
ever Il is desired to have it sent. We had
to supplement this sum, though. In many
instances, at Jacksonville in order 10 get
anything like a decent casket and funeral
arrangements"
It is against the ethics as a rule for
undertakers to advertise. but a well known
Sim has begun TO do so since the coming
OF the Jacksonville competitor. rhe card
states that special attention is devoted to
suburban business, the same being a re-
hinder to the soldiers that the firm is In
the business. Advertising is regulated by
the ethics of the undertaking profession
both on account of the delicacy Of the pro-
fesson, and the reluctance of undertakers
to appear TO be running after business.
They do not want it TO seem that they
are after an undertaking as soon as need
for their services arise. The enterprisng
pursuit Of business by the Jacksonville
undertaken has forced a local firm to
resort TO advertising, however, and it Is
not improbable that the usual order of
things Will be rudely broken In upon.

viabie reputation for ability in his pro-
fession.
During the progress Of raising the ship
a great deal Of valuable material was re-
covered by the wreckers. Just what this
amounts to is not positively known but
it included expensive guns, torpedoes and
much material OF value. The opinion is
expressed that with the material raised
from the Teresa and from the other ships
which has been operated upon 50 far, the
navy department will be able to reim-
burse itself fully for the outlay of $500
per diem to the contractors
The loss Of the ship will be a bitter
disappointment TO the people in Norfolk,
where extensive arrangements had
been made to bring excursions
from all points to the navy
yard there TO look at the famous
ship, and where the reconstruction of
the vessel would afford at least a year
and a halfs work to large body Of me-
chanics and laborers. 1t may be that the
loss reported to-dy will strengthen the
hands of Constructor HobsOn, who is urg-
entity pleading with the department TO
allot money 10 enable him to conduct op-
erations in wrecking the vessel on his own
account, or 1t may induce the department
TO offer more liberal terms to the contract
ors. but, however that may be- the present
disposition of the department is. as al
ready stated to raise the Colon, to bring
her TO the United States, to place her

uIatings on the Result.

ulattn2 on the Result.
Columbia. S. c., Nov. 5.-The last few
weeks have brought no change in the po-
litical outlook in this state. The people
are not worrying themselves about the re-
suit in South Carolina for the simple rea-
son that the new suffrage clause of the
constitution and the registration based
thereon leave no opportunity-no possible
chance for the election of other than the
nominees of the Democratic primary cleo
tons. There are no other state or county
tickets in the field than the regular Demo-
cratic.
In each congressional district the Re
publlcans have put up a candidate and
urged all their forces to go to the polls
presenting themselves, and have men
there to take note of the refusals of man
ayers to allow them to vote. The idea is
to base contests before Congress on the
constitutionality of the suffrage clause,
just as was done two years ago. In each
congressional district there are but two
candidates. one for each of the parties
named. There was an Independent candi-
date in the First district, but he has
withdrawn In the last few days.

Capt. o. VI. Carter ana Our Road I'd
the Sen

Recently this writer noticed in print
the assertion Of a hypercritical individual
that he should have made a direct cut
through South channel-as to this, "ths
wayfaring man though a fool" could net
err. Why then was it not done?
Long ago the writer asked this question
of Gen. Gilmore, at that time chief q
engineers. and was told that for this cen
tinuous work and fuQ appropriation was
required; whereas the money was doled oCt
in driblets by Congress, and consequently
it was only possible to train the old cham
mel and little by little to increase its DEPTH
and the result shows that year by year the
depth was increased until from seventeen
feet We now have twenty-four clear. This
was no doubt more expensive and more
tedious process than a south channel cut,
but the fault rests upon the several con-
crosses.
During most of the time required for this
work Capt. Carter was the directing officer,
and the crucial fact is that under him our
city derived the immense benefit of orr
increase in our waterway from seventeen
to twenty-four feet and for this we owe
him gratitude.
There may have been swindling on TIE
part of the contracting parties but vas
there ever government contract when
this assertion was not made by disgrunued
contractors, or post facto experts? TO"
many gin mill generals, who could have
discounted Sampson and Shafter and SEN
ley and Miles in the Cuban campaign enc
its cost? These prodigies are cheap ara
plenty and nasty and they never come 70
the front until the work is done or The Wal
over; then, they wriggle to the front anu
toot their own horns Against any and an
assertions of such nature we may WIZ
confidence set the fact that there Is tn'
depth of water 70 speak for itself, and IL,
testimony is irrefutable. AS to who mighl
have done it better and at half price 81
whether the contractors swindled the gov,
eminent or not, these are problems p
another nature, but as for Capt. Carter
by his work we should judge him alo
not by its cost, and though apparent!
standing alone among all other benehe
aries, this writer asks permission to Say
so much to Carriers credit. u. y. y

BRANrLEY,s CAMPAIGN CLOSED.
He Was enthusiastically Received
In BaxTey Yesterday.

Brunswick, Ga, Nov. 5.-Congressman
Brantley closed his campaign in the Elev-
enth district to-day at Bailey and in the
presence of one of the largest and most
enthusiastic audiences of Democrats and
ex-Populists ever assembled put the finish
ing touches to the great fight he has been
waging against the Republican-Populist
fusion ticket of this district.
At an early hour the Morning News
correspondent reached Baxley and by Z
o'clock the people were coming In from
the country precincts In large numbers.
Along every road the wagons and buggies
were to be seen and when the incoming
trains arrived the crowds were swelled
materially. Congressman Brantley rid
died the many claims the fusionst can
didate had been making and demonstrated
to the voters how much better friend the
Democratic party is to the people of this
country than the Republican party.
He went into the records and showed by
them that his votes on all questions of
public matters had been for the best in
terests of his constituents. His votes on
the tariff question, as affecting sea island
cotton, were thoroughly indorsed by the
crowd, and he wound up the meeting with
a strong denunciation of the evils of flu
throughout the speech, and when 1t was
over Col. Lovett Baxley, the original Pop
ulst of Appling, was quoted to correspond
ent as stating that he would under no
circumstances vote the Republican WIKI
inson ticket now being showed at the
PopuliSts.
When the train arrived at noon with the
Morning News and last nights dispatch
from Brunswick was read showing how
Candidate Wilkinson had thrown down
the Populists in his speech here last
night, there was the utmost Indignation
displayed. The political dealing that
would lead a candidate to profess Pop
ulsm in counties where Populism pre-
vailed, and repudiate that doctrine in a
county like Glynn, where Populism was
obnoxious, was bitterly denounced, and
the Democrats were elated over the ex-
pose of the political double dealing on the
part of Democracy's opponents 1t was
a great showdown, and the Democrats
were happy. Coming from the court
house Congressman Brantley was show
cred with bouqets from the ladies. and at
the train a delegation of stalwart Demo-
Gratis saw him off in a rousing manner.
From the most conservative among them

THURMoND WILL CASE.
Jury Renders a Verdict In Favor of
the widow.

the Widow.
Atlanta. Ga, Nov. 5.-The famous Thur
Enond will case was decided by a jury in
the Superior Court this morning, the de-
cision being in favor of the widow, and
against Mrs. Fannie Underwood, the tes-
tator's first cousin, and his brothers and
sisters.
There were two wills, one leaving the
estate, which is $3.50 900, to the widow, and
the other giving a large portion to Mrs.
Underwood end DR.. Thurmond's brothers
and sisters.
The latter was contested on the ground
that when it was made the testator was
not of sound mind and much ludicrous
testimony was introduced to show the &C.
centricity of the old doctor. The case has
been on trial four weeks. Three weeks
ago Judge Marshall Clarke, one of the
attorneys for Mrs. Thurmond, received a
stroke of paralysis, which resulted in his
death in the court room while the case
was in progress.
