Golf Club sim Considering Several
Possible Locations.

The Savannah Golf Club has not yet Sc
lected it's grounds. It IS very probable
that a few days more VIA see the choice
made, but Mai. Beirne Gordon, an officer
and one Of the most enthusiastic members
Of the club, said last night that no deal
has been closed.
Three tracts are mentioned most promi-
nently as those from which it is probable
a selection VIII be made, though twice
that number have been considered by the
committee, of which Mai Gordon is chair
man. Those three are the Twickenham,
Poplar Grove and Vale Royal tracts.
It is not known which viii be chosen,
but the odds seem 10 be on the TWick-
euham tract, which includes a wide stretch
OF the land east of the Catholic Cemetery.
The club expects and will receive assist
ance from the street railway in the event
that tract is selected, as 1t lies alongside
the road to Tnunderbolt for some dis
lance, and visitors TO the course would
use the line frequently. These facts the
officials of the railway are aware Of, and
il is believed their aid viii not be with

built near the railway, probably, and con-
siderable improvements made on the prop
erty. other tracts that have been cons.d-
cred also offer advantages, however, and
II is by no means concluded that the club

ion among the members Of the course
committee seems somewhat divided.
In addition TO The three tracis mentioned
Jasper Springs, the DesYerges tract near
Thunderbolt and Estill Park have been
talked about and comm1nicat on held wi h
owners or agents. The final selection, how
ever, win doubtless be made from among
the other three.

The club looks for the hearty co-opera-
ton and support of the street railway, the
railroads and the hotels in its efforts 10
establish and maintain a golf course. 1t
is quite clear that the course would be a
great drawing card for Northern tourists
many of whom will not stop where there
is no golhng. If the best links in the
South could be established at Savannah
the fact literally advertised by the hotels
and railroads 1t would mean much TO the
city.

WENT OVER THE LINES.
Georgia Telephone Directors In

A number Of the directors of the Geor-

inspection yesterday Of the work that has
been recently done and expressed them
selves thoroughly satisfied with the pro-
gress that has been made. They were
under the guidance of Mr.. w. A Bisbee,
president of the company, and Mr.. r. L.
Polk, manager. Capt. w. W. Mackan,
Mr.. Leopold Adler, Col. J. H. Estill, and
Capt. Henry Blum composed the party.
The work is being pushed toward com
pletion as fast as it is possible to do It.
Already one cable has been completed,
and several hundred lines have been cut
in preparatory TO the arrival of the
switch board and the instruments, when
they can be easily connected in a very

several wedaings This Week.

Several weddings are mentioned for con-
summation this week. Rumor is probab-
bly, correct, as indications point that way.
Sternberg & Co. sold a large volume of
presents during the past week, and that
is a pretty sure sign. SO large variety
of appropriate articles is seldom found un-
der one roof-silverware, fine cut glass,
in new and novel pieces and sets. Hand
some clocks, gold and silver novelties, and
a glorious display Of di amends and diamond
ornaments. Sternberg & Co.'S very low
prices are rendered doubly attractive by
the free coupon, giving a chance at the
$500 diamond to be awarded Christmas
day. Every dollar involved earns a free
coupon. The ring is exhibited In their

To STUDY SCHOOL SYSTEMS.
Mr.. Ashmore Is Of on visit to
Cities in the North.


The public school systems in Washing
ton, Philadelphia. New York and possibly
Boston will be inspected by Supt. Otis
Ashmore of the Savannah schools. Supt.
and Mrs. Ashmore left yesterday by the
Plant System for the North. They will
be gone for some two weeks.
At the last meeting of the Board of
Education permission was granted Mr..
Ashmore to be absent for two weeks, as
he desired to visit several of the larger
cities with a view of investigating and
ascertaining If there are any features en-
ployed in the conduct of their schools
that might be advantageously introduced
into the local system.
Since his succession to the position of
superintendent Mr.. Ashmore has always
been carefully on the watch for anything
that, introduced into the Savannah
schools, might tend to benefit them. While
off on trips he has made deep study Of
the systems in vogue elsewhere, often
finding points in the general schemes that
have proven of great benefit after being
made part of the local system, and have
served to make the Savannah schools as
effective as they have become for the in
struction of youth.
