Amendments Lost.


the Indian appropriation bill were
lost on points of order. They
tend to show the drift of congress
sional legislation for this country,
which apparently is to take as
much authority as possible from
the Indian tribes:

July /. 1899, for any tribal govern
ment or officer thereof in the Cher
okee, Greek, Choctaw or Chicka
saw nation, in the Indian Terri

nit, merchant, ferry, or other
taxes imposed ON non-citizens; or
citizens for employing nOn-citizens;
but all such taxes OF revenues, ac-
cording to the laws of said nations,
together with all taxes and reven-
ues due from citizens, shall be col
lected by the Secretary of the In
terror, who shall employ and pay
from such receipts all necessary
force to enforce this law. and the
remainder shall be used for the
benefit of said nations or tribes
respectively.
The Secretary Of the Interior
is hereby authorized to appoint

The Nelson Ticket Unanimously
Elected at ThunderbOIt.

Messrs. L. w. Nelson, d. Grimm and ]
A. Sawyer were unanimously elected COM
missioners of the town of Warsaw yester-
day to fill out their own unexpired terms
caused by their resignation some time ago
on account of a difference as to the policy
to be pursued by the board in the en-
forcement of the Sunday law.
Messrs. M. j. Desvergers, w. w. Aimar
and B. Ratz were elected by the remain
ing two members of the board to fill out
the uneXpired terms. The point was rails
ed, however that this election was not
legal, and that it would be necessary to
have an election by the people to fill the
vacancies. The point was debated for
some time, and the board finally decided
TO hold an election.
1t was expected that Messrs Desver-
gers, Aimar and Ratz would oppose
Messrs. Nelson Sawyer and Grimm, but.
contrary to expectations, there was no
opposition.
The election was very quiet, about twen-
ty-five votes being cast. The managers
were Justice b. j. Mcintyre of the Fifth
district and Messrs. Herman Lentz and
George Howe.
The new members of the board will
have full control. The other two members
are Mr.. w. f. Cler. an employee of the
Plant System and Mr.. j. A. Sheppard

Many Contractors Will Try for the

The bids on the dredging for the Geor-

Island for the Georgia and Alabama termi-
nails will be received up till tonight. To-
morrow they win be opened and examln-

is possible, however that the award will
be held up until the next day.
The bids were to have been opened yes
terday, but it was decided to give the
contractors a little more time, as several
of the many who are TO bid had asked for
it. 1t is believed the actual work on the
terminals will commence within two weeks
from the award of the contract as il is
stipulated that it Is to be begun as soon
as possible after the contract is given. 1t

TO BE NO AFTERNOON SCHOOL.
BOARD OF EDUCATION DECIDES
AGAINST 1T.

Supf. AshmOre's Report Based Upon
the Experience in other Cities.
Children who would Attend Scat
tered over the City and No Prac-
ticabIe Location for the Estab-
Iishment of the SchOOI-The Board
DiscIaims Any Intentional Onense
to the County Commissioners.
There will be no afternoon school for
the children who are now on the waiting
list expecting that chance may arise for
them TO get into the schools. This was
practically decided at The meeting Of the
Board of Education last night.
At the meeting were President George A
Mercer, Capt Henry Blum, Mr.. B. A. Den
mark, Mr.. P. A. StovaH, Mr.. lie Roy
Myers and Mr.. Fl G. duBignon. The meet
ing was the first that had been held since
Mr.. duBignon's appointment as member
of the Massie School Commission.
Al the last meeting of the board Supt
Ashmore had been requested to report
upon the advisablity of establishing a
school for the afternoons upon which the
children who are now unprovided with
places in the schools might attend The
superintendent reported that there are
now only eighty-three of these children
all of whom are young and sufficiently
advanced for the first or second grades
only. They are widely scattered through
out the city, and could not be concen-
trated at any one point that might be
designated as that at which the afternoon
school would be conducted In sufficient
number TO form an extra grade.
Supt Ashmore did not regard
the proposal as advisable for the reason
also that it has been tried in other cities
and found unsatisfactory. Neither the pa
irons nor the teachers have been pleased
with the plan elsewhere, and sooner or
later the schools have been abandoned
The experience of other cities was taken
to Indicate that 1t would be unwise to
establish an afternoon school here. The
superintendent further stated that all OBJ
jections to an afternoon school would ap-
ply with especial force to the establish
ment of one here on account of the late
ness of the dinner hour, and the general
sentiment existing that children should be
given a good deal of time for recreation.
In view of the superintendent adverse
report, no action was takSn by the board
A communication was received by the
board from the County Commissioners.
With it was a resolution adopted at a
meeting of the commissioners calling at
tention to the recent action of the Board
of Education when a resolution was adopt
ed relative to the payment of the appro-
priation to the Board of Education by the
state and county authorities. 1t seemed
that the County Commissioners objected
to the term 'delinquencies on the part of
the state and county authorities" The
board disclaimed any intentional offense,
and a resolution was passed authorizing
the president so to state to the County
Commissioners.
A resolution was submitted by Capt.
Blum and passed, thanking Chancellor
William E. Boggs of the State University
for the address he delivered recently at
the academy to the boys of the High
School.

AN ILL WIND THAT BLOWS NO GOOD
Mr.. John VI. Egan on the blessings
of the Big Freeze,
Absolutely Pure

There is reason for rejoicing and making
South good turn, after all. Only the
fertilizer people are the losers. The farm
ers need not mind little thing like loss
of early vegetables and the nipping their
fruit got. The snow brought ample COM
Densation for it all.
Vice President Egan of the Central is
man who can always look at the bright
side of things. He can see good with the
naked eye where another man would have
to get microscope. His confidence in the
wisdom of providence is very cheerful and
helps the feelings wonderfully. While
other people are crying over spilled milk
he is looking about to see where the next
supply is to come from.
why" said he yesterday, don't you
know this freeze has done the South a lot
of good? How do you suppose a yellow
fever germ or any other sort is going to
get along in any such weather as this?
They have all been frozen TO death, sure.
This is a great blessing to mankind that
seems to have been lost sight of in the
general complaint about the loss of veg
etables and fruit. This immunity from
sickness means a great deal, and the peo-
pie should be thankful for it."
Say that l have not the gift of proph-
ecy," Mr. Egan went on, 'if next fail
does not show the farmers with better
crops than they have had in a long time.
Go back to this interview when a prosper
Gus year is being Dragged of by the plant
ers and say l told you this away last
winter. There ale bound to he good crops
The snow will be responsible for them, in
a large measure. Don't you know snow
is one of the best fertilizers in the world?
Why, the several inches Georgia had wiz
be a great help to the land. 1 believe
people should be mingling their sorrows
with these joys and try not to be down
cast over the prospect"
Mr.. Egan was asked if he had received
any reports from the peach belt through
which the Central runs, but he said those
that had been obtained were not satisfac-
tory. They conveyed the same informal
ton as did those of the newspaper re-
ports. namely, that it was impossible to
tell to what extent the fruit crop had been
damaged until after a day or two. He is
in hopes that the situation is not as bad
as has been reported.

COLD TOUCHES POTATOES.
Produce Men Did Not suffer as They
Feared They Might.

When the cold was most intense dealers
in produce in Savannah were fearful that
they might suffer. They took every pre-
caution possible and yesterday it was re-
ported that there had been but slight loss.
This was confined principally to Irish po-
tatoes. 1t was stated by one produce man
that there must have been as many as
5000 packages of potatoes injured by the
cold.
1t was feared that oranges, lemons and
cabbages would be frozen. Care was TAX
en- TO keep fires burning in the stores when
practicable, and these had much to do
with preventing serious loss. In other
cases the boxes containing produce were
wrapped in crocus cloth or otherwise COW
cred as well as possible. The exclusion
of the air was a great advantage.

A snowslide occurred in the
vicinity of Glenwood Springs in
Colorado on the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad. The snow fell
on top of a work train, demolsh-
ing it. Five men were killed and
six wounded. Snowslides have
occurred at several points lately
in Colorado and much damage
done. At one place VIM. Man
ming, miner, was buried under
his cabin. In the work train
accident the gigantic avalanche
shot down the mountain side in
the canyon of the Grand river,
on the western slope of Colorado,
and carried the entire crew of
thirty-three men into the abyss
below. That there were not more
fatalities is truly wonder.
