The Special Cemetery Committee met

This committee was appointed some time
since to look into the condition of Laurel

visibility of its further use. Alderman
Tledeman. chairman of this committee,
said that as the report had only been
signed by three members of the committee,
he did not feel authorized to state the ten
or Of the report. The committee, he said,
acting under instructions, would make no
recommendation with regard TO the new
cemetery, but would simply confne itself
to a statement of the conditions existing
in Laurel Grove.
The committee consists of Alderman
Tiedeman, Haas, Dixon Graham and
SchwarZ. AS a majority Of the committee
have previously expressed themselves as
being decidedly Of the opinion that it
would be unwise to continue the further
use of Laurel Grove, except by those own

that the report will be to this effect.

ing.
The one hundredth anniversary of the
death of George Washington will be fit
tingly observed in Savannah. The chief
token of the esteem, respect and venera-
ton in which his memory is held will
be the introduction of memorial exercises
into the schools next Thursday morning
and their close for the day upon the con-
clusion of the programme.
This action was taken at the meeting
of the Board of Education last night 1t
was at the regular December meeting of
the body that the matter of observing the
centennial of Washington's death came up.
The action taken was a combination of the
two propositions made previous to the
meeting, one being that the children be
given holiday and the other that there
be exercises in all the grades in memory
of the great patriot and hero.
Col. George A. Mercer, presided over the
meeting. The other members present were
Messrs. j. r. Saussy, Lee Roy Myers, B.
A. Denmark, j. r. f. Tattnall, ]. H.
Estill and Henry Blum.
Col. Mercer spoke of the approaching
anniversary. Col. Estill moved that the
president and the superintendent of the
board be a committee to promulgate and
carry out a suitable programme for the
observance Of the occasion, and that after
the close of such proceedings, the schools
be dismissed for the day. This was
adopted.
Supt. Otis Ashmore read the minutes of
the last meeting and his report for the
last month which was as follows:
During the past month the work Of the
schools has progressed in the usual or
derby manner, and Il have but little to
bring to your attention aside from the
usual comparative statement of attend

Hospital ship contributions.

The American hospital ship which is to
be sent to South Africa for the relief of
the sick and wounded soldiers and refu-
gees, by the contributions of the Ameri-
can residents in London, has received
gifts from many prominent firms. Among
those who have helped the enterprise along
by contributions of supplies is the we'll
known Liebig's Extract of Meat Company,
who have given a large quantity of the cell
ebrated Liebig Company's Extract of Beef
for use on the hospital ship.
This extract has also been selected by
the British war office as being the best
and most suitable for use In the field hos

The finest imported from Scotland and
Ireland are to be had from Lippman
Brothers. They are imported by that firm
in bottles from the distileries in Scotland
and Ireland. And if you want the cele-
brated Old Highland Scotch whiskey. or
the Wheeler Irish whiskey. call on Lipp-
man Brothers for it.
This firm has decided to sell all imported
wines and liquors at retail, which we think
is quite an acquisition for our Savannah
consumers.
Lippman Brothers have something espe-
cially nice from Scotland called Cherry
whiskey, imported from Rutherford Of
Leith, Scotland, and we are safe in saving
nothing like this has ever been imported
in these parts before. 1t has the most
delightful cherry flavor, and the whiskey
is not of the strongest type.-ad.

Luxury and Speed when travelling

Luxury and Speed When Travelling.
People travelling nowadays on a great
trunk line, such as the Southern Railway,
enjoy all the comforts and improvements
known to modern railroading. Take the
two through vestibuled, limited trains of
the Southern, the New York and Florida
express and the United States fast mail,
between Savannah and Washington, in
which the traveller is whirled at high speed
through the most charming sections of
the South, enjoying all the while the COM
fort and conveniences of a metropolitan
club. The dining cars on these trains are
of the very best pattern, thoroughly equip
ped and stocked with everything to de-
light the palate; the meals are daintily
served These trains carry modern and
elegant Pullman drawing room sleeping
cars.-ad.

tive to the Money Due.
No news Inns yet been received by the
officers of the First Regiment relative to
the pay that is expected from the state
for the services rendered by the Savannah
troops during the trouble at Darien 1t
was expected that settlement would
have been made long since, but the delays
encountered in Atlanta in getting money
from the Legislature, are regarded as re-
sponsible for both officers and men not
having already received what Is due them
The delay does not mean that the money
will not finally be forthcoming. 1t is I'M
derstood that the Governor is very anx-
ious that 1t be paid. The budget of the
Legislature will probable embrace an item
to cover the expense of the Darien and
other riots.
