GOLDEN CHAIN I01CE TysTApru
1t Has Probably Held Its Last
Meeting.


Savannah Lodge No. Y, of the Order OF
the Golden Chain, a mutual insurance
fraternity, has practically ceased to exist.
What may prove to be the last meeting
OF The lodge was held last night at Metro
politan hall.
II has been apparent for some time that
the lodges career was probably nearing
its end. The funds had been exhausted
by carrying members who were unable to
meet their obligations appropriations hav-
ing been made and RENTED to the SUI
preme lodge to keep these delinquents in
good standing and protect their insurance
An empty treasury was the inevitable re-
suit. Members who had paid their dues
regularly were naturally averse to con-
tinuing TO bear ali the burdens of MAIN
tanning the lodge, and especially to paying
out further for those who were unable to
carry their own membership.
AS a result OF this condition of affairs,
II has been decided, It is stated That each
member shall hereafter remit directly to
the supreme lodge Office at Baltimore.
Each member will accordingly be person
ally and directly responsible in the future
for meeting all obligations due from him,
and the medium of a local lodge viii
doubtless cease to exist.
The lodge has given up Its room IN Odd
Fellows hall, and everything points TO its
immediate dissolution.
At one time the lodge Is said 10 have
been in quite fiourishiug condition. The
Order of the Golden Chain is regarded as
thoroughly stable, and win retain the very
best class of the members of Savannah
lodge.

Recorder Ravenel disposed of a number
Of cases IN Police Court yesterday. Not
withstanding he has not yet been presid-
ing a week he has gone through with the

In some respects Recorder Raveuel, It
seems, viii not be as rigorous as his prede-
cessor. MIR. Hartridge. He will probab bly,
not enforce the rule committing Sunday
DRINKS to jail, without the alternative Of
paying a fine. In other ways he may be
moderate, but not SO light as to handicap
the police in preserving order. Recorder
Ravenel will back up the department by
strictly enforcing the law.

VIII Be No Trouble In Recruiting
Negro Immunes.

Negro InmuneS.
No steps have yet been taken toward re-
cruiting a company of negroes here for the
regiment of immunes, it is proposed to
raise, Of which Georgia Is to provide four
companies.
Col. J. H. Deveaux was asked yesterday
what would be done toward furnishing a
company from Savannah.
We have heard nothing of the proposed
regiment beyond the mere announcement
in the newspa pers that it was to be or
gained. There will not be the slightest
difficulty in getting up a company here as
soon as definite information is received
from Washington. We can probably make
up a company from ourfegularly enlisted
men, picking out the best material. There
win be no trouble in supplying any quota
Savannah may be asked for. The only
trouble viii be that one company viii be
too little 10 hold those who viii desire TO

The Victory Naturally "A Pleasing
One TO Him.
Hon. Fleming G. duBgnon, chairman of
the state Democratic executive committee,
returned yesterday from Atlanta, where
he spent the last days of the campaign.
Naturally" said he. Il am greatly
pleased with Col Gamblers victory, and
especially with the fact that it was so
overwhelming, as to demonstrate beyond a
question of doubt that he was the choice
of the vast majority of the party. He will
have probably three votes in the conven-
ton TO every one for the combined opposi-
ton. The result exceeded even the hopes
of his most sanguine friends. They all
regarded him as a sure winner, but
thought that in some sections the oppo-
sition would make better showing than
il did l had predicted that he would car
ny ninety-fve counties, but he viii have
the votes Of a greater number than that
1T Is much better for the party that It
is So and that there will be no deadlock
in the convention, and a resulting bitter
struggle with all the evil results flowing
therefron1. The convention at Atlanta on
June %, will merely confirm the action of
the voters on last Monday.
"Col. Gambler will he Governor of Geor-
gia, because the mass of the Democratic
party want nm 10 De so. That is the only
idea that Mondays election conveys. All
that is to be done now is to forget the
campaign and stand united for the ticket
that will soon be officially placed in the
field"
Mr.. duBIgnon said that Col. Gambler was
naturally quite exuberant over his sue
cess. He had been the target for attack
from two opposing candidates, had been
unable to speak 70 but a comparatively
nP0nIp pyoe a of
unlimited qualification to him that his
record of the past had been indorsed by
the comforting of another great political
honor upon him.

Commissioners VIII No Doubt Let
the COnvicts Prepare One.
The County Commissioners will hold
their regular monthly meeting at the
court house this afternoon. So far az can
be learned there Is nothing of special in
terest to come before the board with the
exception, perhaps, that 1t may discuss
the subject of using the eonvlcts to pre-
pare camp ground for troops in case
any should be sent here.
The city authorities think 1t likely that
Savannah may get a number of troops
in the near future, and though the pro
posed sites for camp grounds are pretty
well drained. some little work would be
required In preparing them for occupancy
by the troops.
The commissioners will undoubtedly be
willing to let the couvicts do any work
that may be needed. The docket to come
before the board is a small one, and a
short meeting is expected
