COLORED VOTERS CAUCUS.
They Are Being Worked Up for the
Approaching Election.

They Are Being Worked Up for the
Approaching Election.
The colored voters are being worked up
in the interest of both the candidates for
the mayoralty and meetings are held every
night in the halls used by the colored peo-
pie. Reports of these meetings are furn-
ished to the Morning News by those inter
ested and of course the claims of the pro
moters do not always agree. AT the same
time it is very evident that the 800 or 900
colored voters who are eligible to vote in
the city election are not being neglected
by any means and the figure that they
will cut in the election is being closely
calculated by the leaders on each side.
The Oglethorpe Club, which name is IA
miliar to many people in Savannah, met
last night at its hall at Bay and Lumber
streets. The meeting was largely attended,
the number present being stated at 200.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing Mr..
Myers candidacy, and instrueting the
chairman TO appoint committee of three

First district" Speeches were made by
Henry NJ Walton. j. E. Kimball and
others. The club adjourned to meet again
Friday night at the same place, with the
intention of proceeding in body to Ma
sonic Temple to hear the report of the
committee on the aldermanic ticket. The
club will be headed by a brass brand.
Another Myers meeting was held in the
First district at Waters hall at Cuyler
and Waldburg streets, at which John H.
Toomer presided.
The First district colOred voters are get
ting in line for McDonough. There was
another meeting at Dorseys hall last
night. several speeches were made by col
ored leaders, and everything looks like
they have about made up their minds as
to the candidate they will support. The
eolored voters are taking the initiative in
getting into the fight.
There were reported to have been over
100 voters at the hall last night 1t is
stated they were all voters, too, as one
man took a stand at the door, and ex-
cluded those who have allowed their neg
ligence to put them in the unredeemed
column. When w. d. Armstrong arose
to give the crowd some warm talk on
the subject of good government which
the voters present claimed will be the
order of things if Mr.. McDonough is
elected, there was considerable enthusi-
asm. Armstrong was followed by Rich
and Butler, L. NJ Pleasant and other
campaign speakers, who kept the spirit
of the meeting moving for some time.
They were cheered on by the crowd, which
prolonged the meeting until a late hour.
A meeting of the Third district colored
voters was held at Turner Hall, ]. e.
Kimball presiding. II was said that there
were about 100 voters present. The club

The resolution passed by Lafayette Nc

demand it as something that the ex-sol-

FORMERLY DRUG CLERK HERE.
Now "a SurgeOn-Major I'm the Royal
Navy of Siam.


DR.. T. Edward Hays, formerly a drug
clerk in Savannah, but now surgeon major
in the Siamese navy. a Christian mission
airy of advanced civilization and surgeon
to the King of Slam, is about TO visit
Washington as a representative of the
Siamese government. DR.. Hays career
has been a somewhat remarkable one. He
went from Savannah to Charleston and
then to Baltimore, where he began the
study of medicine. He was later in the
marine hospital service. After gradual
ing at Baltimore he offered his services
10 the Presbyterian board as mission
airy to a foreign field at the same time
requesting to be sent to the most unde
sirabe place in the service. After his
arrival in Siam he worked faithfully as
a missionary for nearly three years. Dur
ing the first year he attended between
5000 and 1900 surgical cases As a re-
suit he was brought to the notice of the
King, who sent his brother to offer an
inducement to DIR. Hays to enter the
royal service. This DIR. Hays refused, pre-
ferring TO work in the cause of Chris
tianity rather than for the state. Never
theless he obtained for hospital purposes
the use of one of the public buildings,
which he equipped and placed under the
boards control
Some time afterward the government
renewed its offer, at the same time stating
that if DR.. Hays would accept he would
rot be required TO give up his mission
airy work. DIR. Hays as a Christian lay
man, often included in his work the duties
of a minister of the gospel. At this time
the ideas of the West were eXerting great
influence over the East, and it was fur
Their represented 10 him that the Samese
were in need OF some one who would direct
the movement to secure them the benefits
Of European civilization. He was the man
selected by them for this position. I'm
der these conditions the doctor accepted,
and was accordingly empowered to found
hospitals and medical institutions all over
the land
Some time later the most romantic Incl
dent in the young physicians life took
place. He was called to attend young
lady who was at that time sick in the
mountains. DR.. Hays fell in love with his
patient, and after he had restored her to
health they were married. A few months
later the position of court physician was
left vacant. Or. Hays was appointed to
il, one of his greatest public works is
the medical university which he founded
al Bangkok. and in which the science is
taught in the Siamese tongue. DR.. HAYS
now holds the rank of major surgeon in
the Siamese navy.

O'DONNELL BETS ON MYERS.
The Alderman Puts Up $500 Even
with Neil GiIdea.

There Is general congratulation that the
present political contest will be of such
short duration II is noticeable that there
is an absence of the bitterness of feeling
which has marked former campaigns, and
that there is a disposition on the part of
the voters to declare themselves according
to their interests and inclinations without
showing any animosity towards the oppos-

sonal contest, each candidate representing
a certain line of policy and the voter is at
liberty to make his choice of candidates
and of policies without danger of losing
friends or arousing animosity to himself

considerable betting. In fact, a number of

BEACH GRASSES FoR rYBEE.
AgrOstOIOgist Scribner Here to See
What Varieties VIII Grow.

AgrOstOIOgist Scribner Here to See
What Varieties VIII Grow.
Mr.. f. Lamson-scribner, agrostologist in
the department of agriculture at Washing
ton, arrived in Savannah yesterday on his
way to the Tybee Notifications, where he
intends to study the adaptability of the
sands to the growing of beach grasses
1t is the intention of the government TO
determine what grasses will grow at Ty-
bee, and then transplant or propagate
them. The object is to bind the sand and
prevent the beach from drifting
The planting of beach grass is quite an
important part of the work of the new
fortif1cations. Were it not for the grasses
or sand binders as they are known to
the department., high dunes would form
around the walls and eventually become an
impeachment to the fortihcations. To avoid
this drifting grasses are planted on the
beach, and once they get started, the sand
is held firmly and the smoothness of the
surrounding surface is maintained.
Mr.. Scribner was seen at the De Soto
last night by representative of the Morn
ing News, but not having
yet made any observations of
conditions along the South At
lantic beach, he had not formed any
idea as to which grasses Will be best
adapted to this section. He will go to the
fortfications this morning with Capt. c.
e. Gillette.
From previous observations of grasses
that thrive along the Atlantic coast, how
ever, Mr.. Scribner is inclined to believe
the bitter panic-grass is the variety which
grows about Tybee, and if this is the case,
it can probably be transplanted without
much difficulty. Seaside oats is another
kind it is thought may be transplanted
successfully. There are various other
grasses grown on the beaches farther
North, but it is not believed they would
thrive in this section. North of the South
ern coast of Maine is the sealon variety,
as far South as Virginia Is the beach
grass, while from Virginia south is the
seaside oats. Mr.. Scribner does not be-
lieve the oats will grow in this section,
however. Inasmuch as his observations
include study of most all sand binding
grasses on both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, it is probable he will al once decide
as to the recommendation he will make,
For the last six years Mr.. Scribner has
been connected with the department of ag-
riculture, having previously been a mem
Der of the faculty of the University of
Tennessee. He is recognized as one of the
leading students in this country on agri-
cultural subjects, and has made discov-
cries which have turned out to be of in
estmable value to farming interests.

II will be noticed that the Governor says
he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na
for other ailments. The reason for this
is, most other ailments begin with a cold.
Using Pe-ru-na TO promptly cure colds,
he protects his family against other all

Keep Pe-ru-na IN the house. Use il for

families should provide themselves with
