New order of Things

New order of Things.
Alderman Krouskoff is DESTROYS Of es-
tablishing a civil service system Of exam
ming city emp,oyes. wniea he embodied
in an ordnance that passed first reading
~ Council meeting last night The ord
nance is as follows:
IAN ordnance to promote efficiency in
the service Of officers and employees con
nected with the city government.
whereas, as far al possible every
thing which can interfere with the thor
ough and efficient discharge Of duty by
the officers and employees of the city of
savannah ought to be discouraged, per
sonal merit out to be recognized and en-
couraged, political and other consi5eta-
lions not affecting the question of elici-
ency ought to be ignored. and the princi-
pies and spirit of civil service reform ought
to be recognized in the municipal govern
ment, and as far as possible, these ought
to be enforced.
Wherefore, it is ordained by the Mayor
and aldermen of the city of Savannah in
Council assembled as follows.
Section I. The policy indicated by the
title and preamble to this ordinance is
hereby recognized and it is hereby made
the duty of all persons charged with the
ployes of the city of Savannah to enforce
this policy.
Sec. 3 No officer or employe of the
city of Savannah employed by the month
or for a longer term shall be discharged
during his term, or the time for which he
has been employed unless charges are
made against him in writing, which
charges are to be addressed to the Mayor
and aldermen of the city of Savannah,
who shall hear the same in Council after
notice to the person charged and full OPP
portunity to make his defense, and the de-

MASS MEETING MONDAY.
Expected That Nomination VIII
Then BE rendered Mr.. Myers

Expected That Nomination VIII
Then BE rendered Mr.. Myers.
Ex-Mayor Herman Myers is is expected
win be nominated for Mayor again at a
mass meeting to be called for next Mon
day night al Masonic Hall The details have
not been arranged. but the call will be for
citizens interested in the future economi-
cal and conservative administration of
city affairs, without regard to clubs or
factions.
There seems to be no doubt now that
nomination VIII be rendered MIR. Myers in
this manner; and his friends appear to be
confident that he viii accept it under such
circumstances. From to-day, now that the
city office elections are out of the way,
the local pot may be expected to boil with
reference to the mayoralty and aldermanic
election. If Mr.. Myers is nominated and
accepts, Ii Is the impression that he will
announce his platform al a second meeting
and that there will not be over three gen
eral meetings in all during the campaign.
There will be rapid work on the organic
ing line, and with but a week in which to
get ready for the battle of Tuesday, Jan.
p, there would be no time TO waste
Mr.. Myers friends claim that he has a
fine chance to win. They claim that the
elections of last night will strengthen his
candidacy, creating. as they believe they
WILL considerable discord among the old
Liberalites, who hold that men who had
stood with them from the beginning should
have been favored with the offices
One of the politicians, who believe that
MIR. Myers viii be a winner, in discussing
the outlook last night, said: Examination
shows that the registration in the Fourth
district, the McDonough stronghold, is 800
votes less than 1t was two years ago. We
have the best of reason to believe that Mr.
Myers will get the Second and Third dis
tricts by handsome maJorities and that
the First viii also line up for him in good
shape. The total vote in The Fourth
is but 1900 and Mr.. Myers win get a fair
proportion of it, There Is good reason to
think that Mr.. Myers will come out 300 to
500 votes ahead
1T is useless to talk of the Liberal Club
vote of two years ago There is a new
alignment this time Anybody who will
go over the city and make a personal can
vass will be convinced of this. All that
Mr. Myers needs to win is TO get a fair
portion of the Irish-American vote, and
to split the negro vote in about half, and
he will come precious close to doing it,
OF the American, German and Jewish vote
he will get a decided majority 1t is all
ready noticeable that the impression is
growing stronger daily that MIR. Myers
would be an extremely formidable candi-
date. Before the election you will find it
the belief that he is more than that; that
he is the winner"
The Myers people are claiming to see
signs of a movement their way from
quarters where the opposition least ex-
pected it. From what they say. the fight
that is ahead, while it will be brief, will
be hot from the start to the finish

room CHANCE FOR CHARITY.
Charitable Associations OutlOOk
Rather Encouraging.

Charitable Associations Outlook
Rather Encouraging.
The question as to what arrangements
are to be made for the dispensing of char
ity during the ensuing year has resolved
itself into a problem. The city officials
admit that something win have to be done
but as the interest is not what it should
be- they are not agreed about the proper
course to pursue.
Mayor Meldrim Is anxious to have the
Charitable Association revived. 1t was the
means of doing excellent work hast year.
and could be made a powerful factor for
relief the present year, IL sufficient aid is
extended. While the meeting called al
the First Presbyterian Church Tuesday
night was not well attended, on account
of the Indictment weather, the Mayor
thinks there will be a better turnout
Monday night, when it is expected to con-
slider some provision for the citys poor
during the year.
All efforts to get the city and county Of
ficials together in the charity work have
failed There is fund of $1,000 the county
appropriates to charity, none of which is
dispensed in the city. 1t is claimed that
W per cent. OF the taxes are pdlu ny prop
erty owners within the city limits, and
for that reason it is claimed the amount
should be shared with the city's poor. All
efforts to induce the County Commission
ers to look at it in this way have failed
however, and ii seems the only chance of
accomplishing anything will be by the
united efforts of charjtably disposed per-
sons.
At present there is large number OF
beggars who can at the city exchange for
helm. but there is nothing 10 give them.
