All of the leading merchants have
agreed to close their stores tomorrow In
honor of the Fourth. The clerks and
other attaches will be given the privilege
of enjoying the day on which the De-
claration of Independence was signed.
The merchants made no move to cele-
brate the day by any sort of demonstra-
ton, deeming an observance sufficient, in
view of the fact the country is involved
in war, and besides, the expense of get
ting up a parade or other demonst ton
in keeping with Sayannah's usual stan
dard in this regard. would mean a big
outlay. II would also call for much time
in various ways.
As 1t is. every one will feel free to pass
the time pleasantly and Will not be obiiga-
ted TO participate in festivities of any
kind Some win go to the seaside, others
to the suburban resorts while still others
will remain a home out of the burning
sun and sympathize with the boys at
Santiago and Tampa.

WANT TO GET TO THE FRONT.
President Conner Found the Chat
hams Well and Anxious to March.

President II. NJ. Conner returned yester-
day morning from visit to Chickamauga.
where he went several days ago, accom-
panied by Mrs. Conner and a party of
ladies.
Mr.. Conner spent two days at the camp,
and had a splendid opportunity for obser-
walton as to the conditions there. The
primary object of his trip was to visit
the Chatham Artillery, one section Of
which is in command Of Lieut. II. NJ.
Conner, Jr. Mr.. Conner, as has been stat
ed in dispatches to the Morning News,
carried The men In the battery lot of
good things, which were highly enjoyed,
and abundantly appreciated by the reeipi-
ents.
The dispatch stated that white duck
suit was carried to each member of the
battery. This was a mistake. Each man
was given a suit of pajamas, provided by
the Ladies' Aid Society of the Chatham
Artillery, and 1t was interesting TO see
the men with them. Some of them took
them for overalls, and for while had
much amusement, a sergeant carrying a
squad of men out on drill with these new
uniforms.
Mr.. Conner says he found the men In
the Chathams well and in good spirits.
They are anxious, he said, TO get to the
orders to march. There is some little dis
appointment among the members of the
battery over the fact that they have not
yet secured their guns. They have been
In camp now for two months all of which
time they have had to drill without their
guns, and have lost thereby much of the
excellent practice they might have had.
They have about fifty of their horses, but
Will need more than double that number.
They have assurances, however, that the
guns will be forthcoming in a short time.
Mr.. Conner also saw Col. A. r. Law
ton OF the First Georgia Regiment The
First is encamped some two miles dis
tant from the Chathams, and the men,
consequently, do not see much of each
other. The men in the regiment are in
good condition, and about as anxious to
get TO the front as are the Chathams.
The camp covers about ten square miles
on the Old battlefield of Chickamagua. 1t
Is admirably located for a camping ground
Mr. Conner says, and is ideal in every re-
sDect, except with regard to the ar
engagements for water supply. The men
get their waters from wells, in connection
with which pumps are used, and the water
is not as abundant as il should be for an
army of 5000 men, such as is encamped
there. The men. therefore. do not have
the facilities for bathing which they should
have. This, however. is the only defect
and it can and probably Will be remeded
by the government.

A String Tied to 1t.

The average man knows little about life
insurance. Even if he reads his policy. it
is doubtful if he knows any more ABOUT it
after than before.
The ingenuity OF man is taxed to its ut
most by some companies to word their
policies so skillfully that no one but an
expert can see through them. They ap-
pear to promise big things. but when you
analyze them and study all the conditions
and offsets attached, you find that the
company is not going to get left" Not
by a large majority. There is always a
string tied to the privileges.
Fortunately for busy men, the Massa-
chusetts legislature, years ago, foresaw
this, and enacted laws which absolutely
protect you if your policy is in one of the
famous Massachusetts companies. A man
ignorant of insurance can take a policy,
with perfect confidence, in one of the Mas
sachusetts companies, knowing that he is
guaranteed by law mot simply by a con-
tract, which may be evaded), more for his
money than anywhere else-not dependent
on his own knowledge, watchfulness or
shrewdness, but are his by law.
No string tied to this kind. The Massa-
chusetts MUTUAL is the Oldest Massachu-
sets company. A specimen policy, or 9TH
er information, cheerfully furnished. Send
your age and address to Harry & Apple

Rucler as TO when the stamps most need
ed would arrive. 1t Is presumed, though,
that there win be some here by Tuesday
morning when business opens up again
Druggists and others handling proprie-
tary articles began yesterday to endeavor
to keep up with their sales of such goods
so as TO render unto Uncle Sam the
things that are Uncle Sans when his Of
ficeTs begin to gather returns as to the
goods sold without stamps. Few knew that
this was required until they read the
Morning News of yesterday, and there
were many inquiries as a result. The COY
eminent will lose a few dollars here be-
cause Of the failure to have stamps on
hand, but the number who will fail to keep
correct records win be few.
In business circles while there Is little
complaining about some of the taxes, the
general kick" is on the annoyance caused
by the inability of the department to put
the public in a position to comply with
the law from the start.

Hateful DAYS RECALLED.
GETTYsBURG's BATTLES BROUGHT
TO MIND by sANTIAGO's SIEGE.

The Decisive Battle of the Civil War
Fought just Thirty-five Years Ago
SavannRhians' Deep Interest in
Events in Cuba-Enger Crowds
Watch the Bulletins for Ever,
Scrap OF War News.
Intense interest has been displayed for
the last two days In all the news from the
battlefield of Santiago.
On the same days thirty-ave years ago
there was an interest and an anxiety about
another battle fought on native soil, which
viii probably never be equalIed. On July
! l, 1868, the battle of Gettysburg began. lust
as on July l, 1898, the battle of Santiago
started With skirmlshes, followed by a
more general engagement toward night
and with both the opposing armies in des-
perate conflict on the days of July 2 and 3.
From the scene of battle on those days
nothing definite as to what the result
would be could be had, and on July both
armies rested, preliminary to the master
ful withdrawal of Lee and his forces.
Santiago may be a repetition of the bat
tie OF Gettysburg, ON a smaller scale in
more ways than as regards dates. The
slaughter on both sides, in proportion DO
the number engaged, promises to be as
heavy as on the Pennsylvania fields and
hilis' Doth sides are fighting with grim de-
termination and desperateness, each is un-
dergoing great privations, and, although all
VIII hope that the result is otherwise the
conclusion may be a drawn battle, with
neither side victorious.
Every tritie of news from Santiago is
read and reread by thousands passing the
Morning News bulletin boards in the
ta11
the anxiety for definite information was
keenly marked. The bulletins posted were
sufticient to show that the American loss
would be very heavy and that 1t was far
from being foregone conclusion that vic
tory would be a matter of merely a few
hours more operations. Grave fears were
openly expressed that the American
troops, fighting heat as well as bullets
might be unable to force a surrender of
the city and be compelled to fall back
and await reinforcements. That was the
general view expressed by those about the
bulletins. Many visited the boards every
few minutes, and 1t is safe to say that
some passed several hours in all In the
street awaiting for any later intelligence
To-day there will hardly be a cessat ton
of the desire for news from the battle
field, and it Is more than probable that
all other matters will temporarily lose
their hold upon mems minds. The fact
that the Second Georgia, with so many
Savannahians in it's ranks, Is expected to
be among the reinforcements to be hur-
ried forward to Gen. Shafter, serves to
make this city have a personal interest
that at some points may be lacking. The
horrible destruction so far wrought serves
to show that Cuba is not to be taken with
out heavy sacrifice of lives and indi-
Gates that the coming weeks will be fun
of sorrow for many families whose boys
are al the front,
