the collection or assured donation of $50, 900
but even this amount has never been in
actual sight. On the other hand the ex-
penses of running the committee and keep
ing up the canvass and the work Of col
lection have been considerable.
Thus matters stood at the Charleston
reunion, when the report of the committee
was submitted. As mas been said it was
not satisfactory 10 many of the veterans,
and they wanted something more explicit
definite and to the point. They demandei
that an itemized statement of the colec-
tons should be submitted and a pro-
gramme of the future intentions of the
committee rendered to the general con-
federation 1t was asserted that Mr..
Rouss was not being fairly dealt with. and
that ne should also be favored with a
statement of the case, and a showing of
the financial status of the Confederate
Memorial Association, from which he could
draw a clear and accurate idea of its con
dition and of the prospects for completing
the battle abbey on the originally contem-
plated plan.
All these views, and others. found OK
preston in the issue of the Confederate
veteran that followed the reunion Supt.
Underwood was roundly arraigned and Sc
verely scored for the course of conduct he
was charged with having pursued in the
matter of securing subscriptions for the
erection of the battle abbey. Not only
this, but his war record was attacked and
he was charged with having avoided SER
vice whenever he conveniently could. 9th
er articles on the same line followed thai
We're answered in the same way and in
various of the public prints in about the
same strain.
Then came the action for libel, brought
by Supt. Underwood against Editor Gun
bingham and the concern by which his
paper is printed. The plaintiff claimed
| damages in the sum of $4,000.
Since the tendency of this action various
expressions of sympathy with the editor
of the paper have come from camps of
Confederate veterans in many parts of the
| South and the country. The movement
was inaugurated by Frank Cheatham
Camp of Nashville the home city of Edit
or Cunninghams paper and the headquar-
ters of the Confederate Memorial Asso-
ciation This camp has sent out the cir
cular letter acted upon by McLaws Camp,
and it is through its fundamentally that
the action favorable to the editor has been
taken.

A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS.

one paper in New York has had the
g ace 10 print something about the matches
at Sea Girt that shows 1t is willing TO
recognize the right that was undoubtedly
the Georgians TO he named winners OF the
Hilton trophy. Nearly al of the New York
papers, as they might naturally have heen
expected to do, arrayed themselves on the
side Of The Jerseymen, quoting Cen. Speu-
Ger and others in their damaging state
ments about the Georgia teams. that is.
damaging, as a member of the team re-
marked yesterday, Ii The readers of the
papers knew neither the men making the
statements nor the Georgians.
The New York Press has been fair
enough to the Georgians to print the fol-
lowing, which brief as it H. shows the dis
position Of the paper to show what some
think about the way the Georgians were
treated; The air is filed with rumors Of
scaudalous treatment of the Georgia shoot

ported TO have said that the Southerners
were actually and positively swindfed out
of score after score. Another person in
terested in the match said that if The Geor-
gians had made bullseyes az every shot
they never would have received the prize
Jealousy is set down as the cause of this
treatment"
Wnlie this paragraph shows the Press
is fair enough to recognize sentiment fav-
oring the Georgans, it does not get hold
of the case properly. The Georgians never
made any claim that their own scores
were reduced by the markers, but that
those of the opposing New Jersey team
were run up to figures that they could not
have made. However, the members of the
Georgia team viii be glad to note that one
representative of the Northern press had
the grace to notice treatment so unjust
that it should bring a blush to a New
Jerseyman whenever shooting is men
toned.
The Hilton trophy swindle continues 10
be a fruitful source of converse ton. When
ever a friend meets one of the returned
members of the team he mas a chat about
the great injustice that was done the
Georgians, and it is quite clearly under
stood that it was through no fault or in
capacity of theirs that the team did not
win everything in sight at Sea Grit. even
as in 1897.

SALOONKEEPER FINED FIFTY.
j. X. TayIOr's Punishment for Keep
ing Open After Hours.

ing Open After Hours.
j. K. Taylor was charged with keeping
open his bar at No. Is Broughton street,
east, after hours on Sunday morning. was
arraigned in the Police Court yesterday
and sentenced by the Recorder to pay a
fine of $50 or serve thirty days on the pub
lie works.
Taylors bar is one of the best known
of the late at night resorts on Broughton
street, east, where several of them are
known to the police. The fact that the
bar was open after midnight, and that
drinks were still being served had at
tracted the attention of Patrolman Shee-
han, by whom the proprietor was placed
on the docket.
Taylor testified that he was not present
at the time, aud that his barkeeper had
kept the place open after midnight only
because there had been a number of per-
sons in the bar. and it had been difficult
to get them to leave. Notwithstanding this
the Recorder thought the proprietor of the
bar guilty, and sentenced him to pay the
fine OF $50, which was done with a reason
able degree of prompdtude.
The witness and the only witness
against the barkeeper wes Patroman
Sheehan, by whom the charge had been
preferred. It is probable that Sheehan
will gain no extra popularity by his course
in this matter, as the lives of his brother
officers, who have done their duty in Ike
manner, have not been rendered easy. Pa
trolman Vim, who placed another saloon
keeper on the docket for a similar offense
has since walked path of thorns. and as
often as he has been assigned to particu-
lar beat, has been asked and urged to
withdraw.
Indeed, numerous petitions have been
forwarded to the superintendent of police
asking his withdrawal from some beat

The news of the decision in the Middle

To the Central Railroad officials gener-

of the trial with eagerness Several were

Quarantine Inspectors StiII Narrow
ly Watching the Trains.
Quarantine operations yesterday netted
no such fish as the day before, when the
two prominent insurance men from Phil
adelphia were before the Recorder for
having evaded the quarantine regulations
and entered the city. The inspectors went
through the trains, carefully scanning the
evidence the passengers submitted to prove
they have been in no infected territory.
A number have been put off for being
unable to show they have not been where
fever prevails.
The gentlemen from Philadelphia got off
with half what they would probably have
paid had it been known to the health Of
hcer at the time of their appearance in
the Police Court that they had told their
story as indicated in the Morning News
of yesterday, about having had the state
rooms turned over to them there by the
parties that had reserved them from New
Orleans. DR.. Drummer would have regard
ed that as all the greater evidence of their
having come down with the deliberate in
tention of beating quarantine. Savannah
ians who were heard to express them
selves yesterday thought the gentlemen
had received no more than their deserts
in the fines imposed
a meeting of the sanitary board was
held yesterday afternoon in the office OF
the Mayor. The health officer submitted
a statement about the conduct of quar-
antinc showing just what is being done
and what has been accomplished. The
city Is spending $50 a day for inspectors
salaries, besides trivial sum that may
figure as incidental expense. It is COM
monty conceded that the expenditure
seems iucommensurate with the vast dam
age Savannah might sustain financially,
directly and indirectly, should but one

Commands Are After.
The Savannah companies that so to New

occupy the right Of the line in the Georgia
regiment. They can only manage that by
having their battalion commander the SEN
Tor of the others.
If the Savannah companies are success
full in their effort to induce Col. J. F.
Brooks to go in command of them he will
rank any other lieutenant colonel in the
state than Col f. d. Huguenin of the Sec
ond Regiment, Macon. The Cadets are now
trying to ascertain whether Col. Huguenin
expects to go in command of the Macon
battalion.
The right of the line is regarded as most
preferable. It Is the star position in a pa
