Plant System Employees AssOcia-
tons Prosperous Year.

mons prosperous ear.
The twentieth annual election of officers
of the Employees Mutual Relief Associa-
ton OF the Charleston & Savannah and
Savannah Florida * Western Railways
was held at Catholic Library Associat ton
hall last night.
There are over 500 members of the asso-
citation. One branch is in Charleston, but
is conducted on the same plan as that in
Savannah. Both are in exceptionally good
condition. Collections were satisfactory
last year, and the association has been
able TO meet all its obligations promptly.
The sick benefits paid employees during the
year amounted to something over S., $50
the death benefits were 1915.
The election was unanimous. There was
a disposition of fairness shown in giving
the various departments a representa- tive
on the finance committee, which audits
collections and expenditures.
The following officers were chosen:
President-W. w. Doweu.
Vice President-John Mclaughlin, Jr.
Secretary and Treasurer-D. ]. Fraser.
Chairman Visiting Committee-J R. Mis-
cally.
Chairman Finance Committee-F. t.
Nichols.
Finance Committee-R. p. Warner, J. L.
Kent, H. L. Rees and S. X. Ward.
The first three officers were reelected
by acclamation, Mr.. Dowell is serving his
ninth term as president, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin his seventh term as vice
president, and Mr.. Frazer his sew
enth term as secretary and treasurer.
The only changes in the officers were
Mr.. J. l.. Kent on the finance committee
and Mr.. j. r. Miscally as chairman of the
visiting committee. These two officers
had opposition and a ballot was taken.
There probably never was a year in
which the association made more pro-
gress are gave more attention 10 it's sick
members. The fraternal ties which bind
its members in common union are as
strong now as they were twenty years
ago.

Constable GiIIiard Captured II From
Understands Wife.
Justice Bevans had Constable Gilliard in
his court yesterday to show cause why
he should not surrender possession of
double-barrel shotgun, claimed by John
Habersham.
The circumstances under which the Off
Ger took the gun appeared to be in self
defense more than in asserting the dignity
of the law. Gilliard is some 60 years of
age, has already been snatched bald-head-
ed by time, wears large brass earrings.
carries a vicious-looking stick and wears
a heavy leather belt to which is attached
a pistol about the size of a policemans
club. He says the end of the law is at
the mouth of this pistol
Gilliard attended to his case, and evil
IDENTIFY discredited the saying that "a man
who is his own lawyer has a fool for
client" He went TO arrest Habersham
at his home on the Augusta road and on
being told the man was not there, the Off
Ger proceeded to search the house He
first went through the "parlor," and after
looking behind all the pictures and not
finding his man, started to another part
of the house Understands wife interfer-
ed at this juncture, presented the gun in
question and ordered Gilliard from the
premises. He refused to go, and taking
the gun himself, brought ii to the city and
left it with Justice Naughtin.
Habersham took out a possessory war
rant and accused the officer of eonfiscat-
ing the weapon for costs He claimed it
had been unlawfUlly taken and asked
that it be restored to him Justice Rev-
ans produced the gun, which had a large
piece of flannel across the tubes. said to
have been placed there by Glliard to pre-
vent involuntary explosion. All sorts of
technicalities were raised, but after con-
sidering the officer had no right in taking
it, the court decided in favor of Haber-
sham.

"SAID PASHA" WELL SUNG.
Successful Opening of the Wilbur
Opera COmpany's Engagement.

Successful Opening of the Wilbur
Opera COmpany's Engagement.
The Wilbur Kirwin Opera Company
opened a two weeks engagement at the
theater last night. If the entire repertoire
of the company is as well produced as
was said Pasha" theater-goers will have
no cause to regret the engagement.
Judging by the performance last night
and the encominums pronounced upon the
company by other cities in the South,
which it has recently visited, the company
is by all odds the best popular price COM
pany that has been at the theater this
season. The leading actors and singers
are first-class and many of those who en-
joyed the performance readily declared
that ii was much better than some for
which they had paid three times the price
this season.
The chorus is no small feature of the
company. The girls are not only shapely
but pretty, and there is an air of refine
ment about them which is usually lacking
in the average chorus. The girls look as
if they might appear as attractive on the
street without their stage trimmings as
they are on the stage, and they doubtless
do.
Miss Susie Kirwin. who is at the head
of the company, proved as sprightly and
attractive a prima donna soubrette as
could be desired. She made her part of
the pasha's daughter a very enjoyable one
last night. Miss Baxter, who had the part
of the queen, was also very much admir-
ed. George MuzZy and j. Clarence Har-
vey, as the two comedians of the perform
ance, made a great deal of fun for the
audience, and appear TO be well up in
their business
said Pasha'' will be given again at the
matinee this afternoon, and the Royal
Mildly tonight. If all the operas are as
bright and enjoyable as the one given last
night, the company will be insured large
audiences during the two weeks of its
stay.

Association course of entertainments will
be Charles F. Underhill of New York.
