extra services at almost any time and
frequently We're 50 called upon. The only
comfortable feature Of the stay were the
meals that We're served at the hotel at
the expense of the people Of the town.
Soldiers Did Their Duty.
Despite these discomforts there was
never a word of complaint on the part OF
any of the men, and every duty was per
formed with a sprighIliness and celebrity
that showed ia the best light the soldierly
qualities of the men of the regiment. /
have not word of criticism TO offer upon
a single man and not a single charge TO
prefer. l consider this condition of affairs
considering the nature of the service and
its hardships. as remarkable as IL is pleas
Ing and creditable."
To one of the officers of the detach-
ment Lieut. Leonard, is due an especial
need of praise. The coolness and sagac-
ity with which he directed the operations
Of the force under his command. when
in pursuit Of the negro John Delcgal, ac-
counts for the latters safe arrest and de
livery, unframed, to the authorities
There was certainly some excitement on
the part Of some members Of the posse
Of civilians who aided in the search, and
had it not been for Leonard's fearless de-
termination, it is more than possible that
unfortunate results would have followed
the arrest of the murderer Of Deputy
Townsend"
TO the people OF Darieu are due the
warmest thanks of the members Of the
detachment They were unremitting in
their efforts to care for our comfort and
did all they could 10 make our stay free
from the hardships incident to IT, That
they did not succeed was due to no fault
OF theirs. but to the nature of the ser
vice ana the conditions by which the men
were surrounded. BY subscription among
themselves they betrayed The expense Of
our meals at the hotel and threw open
their houses to our occupancy. This last
kindness we could not accept"
The men of the detachment were glad
10 get back to Savannah. They had been
detailed for the service and it was not
of their choosing. The selection of those
members of the companies who were to
remain at Daren was hurriedly made
While, of course, they were all willing
TO do what they could some Of them
feared they might lose their positions
through their absence from the city and
hence have been uneasy and anxious. As
they were directed to stay and did not
volunteer, IL would seem that these fears
are groundless and that their employers
would not permit them to suffer for some
thing they could not help.
When the detachment was prepared for
the march TO the train il was to take for
Savannah it was halted by command of
Col Lawton. who com2!imented the in
dividual members in the highest possible
terms. Their moderation and forbearanca
in dealing with the rioters. as well as
their courage and determination in ex-
ecuting orders entrusted 10 them, were
subjects of the enconiums of the com
manding officer who said that if the other
members of the regiment. who had come
to take their places and follow up the
work they had been doing. would do as
well, he would have no blame to offer and
nothing but praises to. bestow.

DULL DAY AT THE RESORTS.
weather Put 81 Damper ON sunday
ExcursiOnists.


All of the resorts had q slow time of it
yesterday. Besides being the last of the
season, the threatening weather had Il
depressing effect on the Sunday excur-
sions.
Thunderbolt caught those who were
bound to so somewhere and didn't want
to get too far from home. The pavilions
had rather slim crowds though, and the
bluff had more than deserted look late
IN the afternoon. when the rain began.
The suburban car lines had no trouble in
taking care of the few people who braved
the weather for the sake OF going some
where. The Isle of Hope cars carried
fewer people than the Thunderbolt cars.
The small crowd which took ip Warsaw
had a sorry time of II getting home The
Alpha, which left the island at o'clock
stuck on her way up and did not reach
Thunderbolt until midnight. The most OF
the passengers left the steamer there ana
came into town by trolley car
From now on the resorts will have
only an uncertain patronage, or, rather,
that which they have always during the
fall season.

FEWER POLES IN THE STREETS.
Their Removal an Enhancement of
the City's Attractivenesx.

While the number of unsighty poles
the streets has been Largely reduced by
the Introduction of the underground con-
duit systems of wires by the electric
light and telephone companies. there is
YET opportunity for wedding out hundreds
and probably thousands of poles which
obstruct ana mar the attractiveness of the
city. It's streets and squares
No one IS better able to understand aud
appreciate the number Of poles used Cor
telegraph, telephone ana irolley wires and
their general awkwardness and unsghli-
ness than the photographer, amateur or
professional VINO attempts TO secure a
picture Of almost any residence or public
building in the city. From whatever point
il is desired to secure a view of O build
ing or DINER object, be is almost sure 70
find an ugly telegraph or telephone and
other electric wire pole in the way.
With the extension Of the conduit sys-
tens, the forcing Of electric wires under
ground and the use of iron poles wherever
they can be used, which has been urged
for some time. the city would be relieved
OF one OF its unsghtly features. An et-
fort has been made for some time TO regu-
late the placing of poles, to have as few
Of them as possible, and TO require them
10 be properly set and cared for. This has
mad some effect. but there is still a forest
of poles scattered over the CITY, which. II
brought together would make almost "a
solid block of cypress.
