WHETHER 1T RAINS OR SHINES.
The Michigan Regiment VIII Be
Dined by the GeOrgians.

Dined by the GeOrgians.
Rain or shine, sleet or snow, the dinner
being arranged for the Thirty-frst Mich
igan Regiment by the ex-members of the
First Georgia, U. s. v, will be given. If
the weather is bad, the companies wnl
be brought into the city for the dinner
1t is hoped, however, that the weather
win be all that could be wished. The long
siege through which the city has just
passed of the worst weather is taken as
an indication that it will surely be a pretty
day tomorrow ana that the open air
dinner can be given as contemplated.
If, though this does not prove the case
there will remain the alternative of bring
ing the troops into the city for the meal.
If this plan has TO be resorted to the
Greens Will entertain their companies at
the Catholic Library Hall, the Cadets will
have theirs at the Regimental Armory.
and those OF the Blues will be provided
with all the good things they want to eat
at the Guards Hail.
All the ladies who will assist in serv-
ing the dinner will meet IN the morning
at the regimental armory,. where, at 10
o'clock, cars will be taken for the camp.
Each of the three Savannah companies
has chartered a special car for the ladies
who will assist them in serving the COM
panies of the regiment that have fallen
to their lot for entertainment. The la
dies are urged to be prompt in this matter.
The committee that has had the canvass
of the business men in hand for the rails
ing of funds for the dinner reports sue
cess, and the officers say the dinner will
be all right They have enough money
in hand to guarantee a good spread. A
number of the ladies' have also been solic-
iting and they have been successful in
raising very neat sums to defray the ex-
penses of the dinner Contributions have
been received both in money and in sup
plies.
1t has been found that the space run
ming the length of the camp between the
row of officers tents and those of the men
is not wide enough TO admit of the regl-
ment being served in a body. For that
reason those who have the dinner in
charge have agreed 20 make it a battal-
ion affair, that is. to have the entertaining
companies take the four they are TO en-
terrain and serve them in the battalion
streets.
The officers of the regiment will not
dine with the men. This has just been de-
cided upon. Instead, they will be enter
tanned by the officers of the three COM
pauies. in accordance with the plan by
which the companies of the regiment are
to be entertained, at tables spread espe-
cially for them in three of the company
streets.
A number of the ladies will devote their
efforts to serving the officers tables.
Those who will officiate at the table where
the officers will be entertained by the Of
ficers of the Greens will be Mesdames r.

WILL TAKE THE BRUSH STOCK.
Edison Electric People VIII Control
Electric Business Here.

The syndicate of Boston capitalists,
which has been negotiating for the pur-
chase Of the controlling stock of the Brush
Electric Light Company, gave formal no
iice yesterday that after Jan. q it will
take all which has been offered. II will
require several days to make the trans
fer, as it win be done by a rather slow
process.
Mr.. George J. Baldwin, local represent TIA
tive Of the purchasers. stated that all
stockholders who have expressed a will
ingness to sell, will have their certificates
transferred and then deposited with the
National Bank of Savannah, by whom a
receipt viii be given. As soon as the 30
per cent Of the capital required by the
purchasers as a condition to buying has
been deposited, the receipts viii at once
be taken up. 1t is understood large
snare Of the capital stock VIII be trans
ferred, but the exact amount is not yet
definitely known.
IL mas been the understanding the pur-
chasers were the moving spirits in the
Edison Electric and Illuminating Com
pany, which started out under such
suspicious circumstances by getting a
franchise from Council some weeks ago, to
ana by contracting, it was reported, for
the purchase of the old rice mill property
on River street for a power station This
was denied in some quarters. but it seems
10 De the case according to circular that
has been promulgated among associate
stockholders by the Boston people.
The circular states it was the original
intention of the Edison company to con-
struct system of it's own. to be operated
in competition with the Brush company,
but on finding 80 per cent. of the 1913, 900
of stock of the Brush company could be
bought, it was decided to abandon the
original plans. and buy this stock.
1t was intimated in some quarters that
the move by the Edison company in OBJ
tanning franchises and ostensibly getting
ready to do business, was for the purpose
of facilitating its plans to buy out the
Brush company. A start of this kind by
a company that did not intend to do bust
ness, it was stated, would have an effect
in getting stockholders to sell, rather than
hold on in the face Of approaching com
petition. The fact that 800 a share is to be
paid for the stock, which is considered a
good one, and also the circular letter that
has been sent out seems TO indicate con-
clusively that there was no intention by
the syndicate to run the stockholders over
All are perfectly satisfied with the Offer
as appears from the general response
made to the proposition to sell.
AS soon after the transfer Is made as
possible, there will be a stockholders meet
ing, when the new management will elect
its officers. 1t is understood Mr. Bald
win will be engaged as general manager
though he says he is not prepared to say
that this is probable.

ion. This is one of the numerous inter
ventions growing out of the failure of the

the subscribers to the Freight and
Transportation Bureau, with a view
to securing sufficient funds to
continue 1t. The meeting yes
terday to consider the continuation of
the bureau was called to order by the
chairman, Col. J. H. Estill, and a good
deal of interest was shown in the success
of the institution. Mr.. 1. B. Tiedeman,
from the committee appointed to ascertain
how much would be necessary to carry on
the bureau another year, reported that it
would require 5000.
1t was the opinion of those present that
in view of what had been done by the
bureau outside of its usual work of looking
after freight and transportation, in bring
ing the Seventh Army Corps and other
troops here and making this the port of
embarkation for soldiers and for the ship
ment of supplies to Cuba, adding thOus-
ands of dollars to the trade of the city
that there should be no difficulty in main
tanning the organization.
Capt. w. W. Williamson moved that the
chairman appoint committees to canvass
the members and citizens generally for
subscriptions to carry on the bureau an
other year. The motion was adopted, and
the chair appointed the following:
