THE COUNTY MAY HELP.
Golf Club Grounds May De Cleared
by ConvIctS.


The Savannah Golf Club has called upon
the County Commissioners to assist It in
preparing the course which has been Sc
lected for the links between the city and
Thunderbolt The request is now under
consideration.
President Beirne Gordon of the Golf
Club called upon Chairman Dale recently
and laid the matter before him. Mai
Gordon stated that it had been found thar
considerable work would be necessary in
preparing the course in the way of clear
ing underbrush, leveling the ground and
other similar work. AS this is a work to
which the convicts are accustomed, and as
the golf course is in the nature of a pubic
enterprise, Mai. Gordon thought that the
work could be elassed in the same category
as that done by the county for the military
al the rifle range, on the ground that il
would be a public benefit As one of the
main purposes in establishing the links is
10 attract Northern visitors and to retain
them here longer than would otherwise be
the case, Mai. Gordon was of the opinion
that the enterprise was of sufficiently a
public nature 20 justify The county in lend
ing a hand.
Chairman Dale was not inclined 70 agree
with Mai. GordOn's view of the matter at
first, but he agreed TO call a meeting of
the County Commissioners yesterday
morning and to lay the matter before
them. President Gordon and Mr.. David
Stewart the golf expert. who Is here for
the purpose Of instructing the Savannah
members, appeared before the board After
some discussion. II was decided that Supt
Chaplin of the county pubic works. and
Mr.. Stewart should go over the grounds
selected for the course and arrive at an
idea as to the amount Of work necessary
60 be done. Upoa the repor. made by
Supt. Chaplin viii probably depend wheth-

MUST USE TIN PLATES.
CareIessness in Putting Up Stoves to
BE Punished.

Charles Thompson, colored, was heavily
fined in the Police Court a few days ago
for having stove which was erected con-
trary to fire regulations. The firemcn were
called 10 Thompsons place and found that
the trouble was due to stove having been
erected with. no tin beneath it 10 protect
the floor and Goals dropping cut had ct
the floor on fire. Thompson was placed on
the docket with the conseque noes stated.
This leads Sup rintendent Mcguire to an
nounce that wherever instances of this
kind are discovered, where the fire regu-
lations have been f1agrantly violated, hat
the offenders, whether white or black, wi l
be placed upon the docket and the cases
prosecuted. More care,essnesS as a rule,
is displayed in the manner of putting Up
stoves and stovepipes than in almost any
other line of work and the superintendent
thinks it is time few examples were
made of the offenders.

WAS RECEIVER, NOT MASTER.
Judge speer Has Had Applications
for an Appointment.

A report was recently sent out from
Athens to the effect that Mr.. d. Gran
Oliver of that city, who died ia Macon
while there attending to United ates
Court business, had been appointed mas
ter in ohancery by Judge Emory Speer 10
succeed the late DIR. Eustace Wllough-
by Speer. The report was in error, as
Mr.. Oliver had been appointed simp
receiver of certain property in Macon, and
it was in that connection that he had
gone to Macon.
Judge Speer has received a number of
letters and kilograms relative to Tarties
who desired the appointment Of master in
chancery, to succeed, as they sup o le,
Mr.. Oliver. AS a matter Of fact however,
masters in ohancery are always apo Mt
ed by the circuit judge, and the d strict
Judge assents to the appointment The
mistake was made, therefore of making
it appear that Mr.. oliver was master IA
chancery instead of receiver. The only
standing master of chancery in the South
ern district of Georgia is Mr. George w.
Owens of this city.

BEES IN a CHIMNEY.
superintendent Mcguire Discovered
New Cause for Fires.

superintendent Mcguire Discovered
New Cause for Fires.
supt Mcguire of the fire department
met with a decided novelty yesterday in
the way of causes for fire. In his varied
experience in fre-fighting Supt. Mcguire
has met with all sorts Of causes from spOn-
famous combustion to plain incendiarism,
but it had never occurred to him that
swarm of bees could be responsible for a
conhagration. He has discovered that
such could be the case.
An alarm was turned in just before
noon from box No II at East Broad and
Oglethorpe avenue. The trouble was
found to be in the chimney of Mary Fer
rebee's house at 542 Oglethorpe avenue,
east, which was belching forth smoke.
The firemen had been called out to this
chimney before and no satisfactory cause
had ever been assigned for its misbehav-
Tor. AS all the trouble seemed to be in the
chimney, Supt. Mcguire ordered some of
the men to cut it down from the top.
After three or four feet had been cut
away the firemen ran into a queer-looking
mass, which proved to be a large honey
comb and which almost blocked the Chin
ney.
The Ferrebee woman keeps several hives
of bees in her yard. The chimney in
which the bees had made their home dur
ing the summer had not been in use for
several months. When the recent cold
spell came on, fire was built there. The
chimney smoked and the chimney con-
tractor was called in. This is said to have
happened twice, How the contractor man
aged to overlook a large honeycomb suf-
ficient to almost block uD tfe chimney
would seem to call for explanation. From
the size of the comb the bees had evil
IDENTITY made their home in the chimney
all summer. Between the cold and the
smoke the bees were in no condition to
give the firemen any trouble.

DIVORCE DAY CONTINUED.
Parties in Divorce Suits Got AIimony
From the Courts.


The divorce cases in the Superior Court
that had been made the special order OF
the day on Tuesday were continued yes
terday, win the result that a number
of those interested were granted orders
of divorce by Judge Falligant and re-
ceived them. These orders, in large part,
directed the payment of the costs of the
court and of aiimOuy to the plaintiffs and
the necessary DEGREES were promptly
granted by the court.
The day in the Superior Court passed
without oventful proceedings. There
were but a few cases that the court had
10 consider and these had been virtually
decided at the previous sessions. All that
remained was to grant alimony in a few
cases and this was done with but very
little delay and with no inconvenience to
the officers of the court or to the court
itself. None of them amounted to more
than $40 a month.
