FOR THE *. OF P.'S FAIR.
Donation Committee Getting It's
Work Under Way.

Work Under Way.
Plans for the knights of Pythias fair to
be held here Nov. IA TO % have been pee
fected and the outlook is very bright Last
night a meeting of the local donation
committee, composed of one member from
each lodge, was held to perfect plans for
soliciting contributions.
The grand chancellor has granted the Sa-
vannah lodges a dispensation allowing
them to solicit contributions from all of
received will be divided, pro rata, among
the lodge tables. Contributions from per-
sons or from any other source will, how
ever, be the property of the lodge secur-
ing them and will be placed on its table.
Each lodge viii have its own table pre-
sided over by d ladies' auxiliary and for
every fifty dollars turned in to the treas
urer by a lodge it VIII be credited with one
share of stock in the building.
The ladies' auxiliary of Forest City
Lodge was organized this afternoon. The
meeting was held at the knights of Ply
thias Hail and about sixty ladies enrolled
themselves as members. Mrs. Adam Kes-
sci was elected president. ID is the expec-
tation of the other lodges to organize aux
iliaries during this and next week and the
probabilities are that by the end of next
week all details of this sort will have been
finished and each lodge and auxiliary viii
be working in friendly rivalry to secure
the greatest number of donations and pre-
sent the handsomest table when the fair
opens. The next meeting of the general

Georgia and Alabama Preparing Its
Approaches.


Approaches.
Work upon the Georgia and Alabama
terminals is being pushed rapidly at all
points. The dredging on Hutchinsons Isl
and is nearing completion, and progress
is being made upon the bridge work above
the city. The company's engineers are
now engaged in preparing the plans for
the approaches to the union depot in Wal
ton ward. all of the property in which
has been purchased by the company.
1t will be necessary for the tracks to
cross some of the streets in Robertsville
in reaching the property of the company,
and il will be necessary to obtain permits
sion from the city. AS the streets to be
crossed are back streets on the western
side, and as some of the crossings will be
bvidged over, it is not likely that Council
will make any objection to granting rights
of way when the matter is brought to its
attention. Permission viii also have TO be
obtained from the city to cross certain
of its lots on Springfield plantation.
President w. w. Mackall of the con-
struction company said yesterday that
there was nothing TO give out with regard
to the plans for the new union depot I'VE

RESTRAINING ORDER GRANTED.
LabOrers Prohibited From Asserting
Liens in Magistrates Courts.


A temporary restraining order, sanction
ed and granted by Judge Seabrook, at the
instance of Walthour & Rivers, against w.
T. Davis and others. was issued yesterday
in the Superior Court Judge Seabrook
granted the order in the absence of Judge
Falligant.
Davis and his friends and fellow defend
ants in the suit for injunction were labor
ers for Straate & Co, firm with when
Walthour & Rivers entered into contract
to move a church building. Inc contrac-
tors according to the petition for inJunc-
ton, carried out the work badly and con-
siderably damaged the church in the
course of moving it. 1t became necessary
for the plaintiffs TO enter into another con-
tract which was performed al the cost OF
the original contractors.
Meanwhile the plaintiffs had paid to the
original contractors some part of the con-
tract price for moving the building and
to the contractors BY whom the work was
completed another sum of money Ihls
left only small sum due which they
paid into court.
Davis and the other defendants. Of whom
there are a number, filed laborers liens
against their employers and against Wal
thour & Rivers, which issued from the
courts of Magistrates Naughtin and Bev-
ans 1t is contended that there is no
liability resting upon the plaintiffs in the
present suit to pay these laborers' liens
and that they owe no money to the orig
inal contractors, Straate & Co, other than
the comparatively small sum that is now
paid into court 1t is aVerred that If a
multiplicity of suits is to be avoided and
the mourning of costs greatly dispropOr-
tomato to the amount involved, it is es-
senual that an injunction and an order
directing the defendants to bring their
cases before the Superior Court for final
settlement should issue.
The restraining order asked for was
granted and the defendants We're directed
to show cause before the court why it
should not be made permanent. They are
also directed to show cause why the cases
should not all be consolidated and disposed
of at one and the same time.

Kept Track of Here.
The quarantine inspectors were kept
busy yesterday keeping tab on people
from Miami Fla. While no quarantine
has been declared against Miami, Health
Officer Drummer thinks that owing to the
existence of a suspicious case there it is
well to keep track of persons coming from
that locality. Further developments at
Miami might make their presence unwel-
come. At present however, visitors from
Miami who can present satisfactory
health certificates are not debarred.
The announcement of an increased num-
Der of cases from New Orleans Is in line
with DR.. Brunner's expectations He has
been convinced from the first that the dis
ease must be more general than appea red
from the reports, the cases reported being
in the best residence section of the city and
the percentage of deaths being out OF pro-
portion to the small number of cases re-
ported.
