from stubble in comparison with results
from seed planting, and also what use
you make of your cane fodder and the
cane stalks after extracting the juice,
and their value per acre OF cane In the
use you make of them.
eff these questions are generally an
swered, Mr.. Commissioner, as l firmly be-
lieve they will be, by the growers of sugar
cane in every part of Georgia, capitalists
will have the Information necessary for
their purposes, and you can, with perfect
safety, advise the growers in regard to
increasing their areas and contraction for
the sale of the product to the representa-
tives of sugar plants on fair and equit-
able basis alike for buyer and seller.
Commissioner Stevens has agreed to have
the queries suggested in the letter of
Capt. Purse printed in pamphlet form and
sent out to those counties In the state
where cane culture is deemed practicable
and profitable. In speaking of the mat
ter to the Atlanta correspondent of the
Morning News, Commissioner Stevens
said:
II am anxious that all those who read
Capt. Purses letter at once put them
selves in a position to answer the ques-
tons suggested therein, which will form
the basis of my circular letter to the
cane growers of the state. l would also
be pleased TO have those now cultivating
sugar cane to furnish me such Informal
ton as they may now be possessed of
touching the subject oS cane growing in
Georgia.

PUTTING Up THE POLES.
New Telephone Company Getting
lrlf Ready for Business.


The Georgia Telephone and Telegraph
Company has several gangs at work dis
tributing and erecting line poles in differ
ent parts of the city, and the expectation
is by the end of the present month 10 have
this work well under way. While it can
not be told yet when the new telephones
viii be in operation, the progress which
has been made in the last few days in
dicates that il will not be a great while.
The public feels an interest in the work
which is generally inspired by the prospect
of competition in any important business.
Manager Polk is in active charge of the
work in the absence of President Bisbee,
who has been in New York on business for
several days. Line poles are now being
set on West Broad street from The dis
tributing pole al Stone street to the new
union depot site a West Broad and Stew
art streets. Other lines are being put up
on Bay from West Broad to Wadley, in
Bay lane from Abercorn TO East Broad,
Broughton lane from Abercorn to East
Broad, and the work in York lane between
these streets will be commenced in few
days. One gang is setting poles beyond
the underground district. The work of at
taching cross-arms will be started soon
After this preparations Will be made for
connecting stations.
Tn cables, which have caused the COM
pany considerable delay. will arrive in a
few days. All the cables are expected by
the end of the month"; so that there will
not be any further delay after this time
on this account. This is understood to
be the result of the efforts of President
Bisbee, who went North with this in view
After this material is received the only
material lacking in order to fully install
the system will be the switchboard, which
is being manufactured in Chicago.
While the company has proceeded slow
ly on account of Unforeseen hindrances,
they and the promoters are profiting by
the delay in giving thought to getting the
latest improved appliances for every de-
partment of the new system. The officers
say they intend their line to rest on it's
merits. Meantime, the securing of sub
scriptions is claimed to be moving stead
lily ahead. The rule or ruin feature of the
approaching competition seems to have
been eliminated from the situation and
while the companies will necessarily have
to fight, they will recognize that both have
the right to do business in Savannah.

ARM BROKEN BY A BLOW.
Henry jenkins Brutal Attack Upon
Degraded woman.

Henry jenkins. colored, was arrested
last night by Detective Stark and is lock-
ed up at the station house charged by
white woman, Flora Hudson. with as
saulting and beating her According to
the woman's statement jenkins assault
was committed with the greatest fury and
terminated in his breaking her arm with
his bare hst.
Behind the bald and prosaic statement
of facts that appears on the blotter at
police headquarters. is a story of filth and
degradation, in which the woman, Flora
Hudson, plays the star part. For the
moraiist there is room and scope for
meditation; for the ordinary human. there
is cause for mingled pity and scorn.
The woman has long dragged out a mis-
cradle existence, descending every year
lower and lower in the social scale. Bereft
Of her good looks, that once possibly were
considerable. with nothing to offer the Ii
centious of her own race. stepped and sod
den IN alcohol and sin, she had sunk with
the negro. Whatever, then, was needed
10 complete her degradation soon followed,
and she drank the cup of bitterness to the
dregs.
At last Jenkins. who is a waiter at Pay
lor's restaurant, in the TenderlOin, tired of
the woman's waning attractions. Indeed
they had never consisted in anything 9th
CT than the lust that many of his race feel
for white women, but in the earlier stages
of their intimacy this had been enough to
render MIN devoted. The unnatural rela-
ton began to bore him and he was anxious
10 break it off. The woman. though,
clutched at a straw and chung TO the last
support she had between death and her
miserable existence. With a desire for
life. that under the circumstances is al
most incomprehensible, she would not be
deserted and with maudln sobs besought
became exhausted.
In the midst of fast appeal that he was
forced to listen to- the last remnant of
regard for the degraded creature forsook
him and he struck her. This was in the
house in which they had been living, in
York lane, near Price street. With an oath
he threw her across the room, and as she
staggered again TO his side and attempted
to embrace him, struck her across the up
per part of her arm with his fist. The
bone broke like a reed and with a shud-
dering moan the wretched and degraded
woman sank to the floor.
She managed at last 10 get to the Office
of DR.. Johnson, by whom the broken arm
was set and dressed. Then she started
out upon a search for the man, determin-
ed, that if she could not have him, she
would have revenge. He was pointed out
to Detective Stark and taken to the sta
ton house, where he was locked up to
await further Investigation

TO SETTLE UPON A ROUTE.
Germans Volunteers VIII Consider
the Matter To-night

The German Volunteers win hold a
meeting tonight, when 1t is expected the
route they will take on their New York
and the Florida Central and Peninsular
have both been working for the business
industriously, and it remains to be seen
which will be successful.
For both the movement of the German
Volunteers and the Savannah Cadets the
competition has been spirited. Neither
company, as yet, has fully decided upon
its route, though representatives of both
lines when asked about 1t, firmly de-
clare that they will be successful
The matter of choosing the route has
been left to their officers by the Cadets,
though the officers endeavor TO get an
fnkiing of what the men think about the
matter. The Germans have the matter
In the hands of a committee. Capt. Kon-
emann has returned and his advocacy of
either of the two lines will probably set
tie the uncertainty that has been felt.
The Germans have made great strides
in their preparations for the trip, and it
looks as if they will carry a big crowd.
The funds of the company and those So
licited by the committee are of such pro-
portion as to admit of the trip being
made at but a nominal expense to each
man. 1t is said IS will be all the men in
ranks will have to pay toward their own
expenses, the company making up the
rest of the railroad fare and the enter
tanment committee in New York look
ing out for the accommodation of the
soldiers while they are in the city.
As soon as it began TO be understood
by those whom the Germans desired to
join them in the trip that they could make
it for such a song as S., acceptances of
the invitation were all the more frequent.
Beyond all doubt, the Germans will carry
the sixty men they wanted, and more, if
they wish
The Cadets are progressing famously
Monday night they had out the best
crowd since the drills were begun. and
tonight it is expected there will be many
TO take part in the drill. Allowing for
those now on the list who may fall down.
it seems quite possible that the Cadets
will have more than sixty men in the pa
rade.
With it a settled fact that two
companies will go from Savannah
1t seems quite possible that the troops
from this section of the state may go by
a special military train. Officers of the
two commands going from Savannah have
been heard to express themselves as fav
from two or three of them that they desire
the Two companies to go by the same
route, and a selection by one company NAV
mean that the same choice will he made
by the other. The companies in the south
ern part of the state would doubtless look
upon military special with the same
favor as those in Savannah, and the road
getting the business could easily arrange
for one.

Savannahians interested in the Sea Girt
contests are eagerly awaiting the return
of Col. Jordan F. Brooks, vice captain of
the Georgia team, who served as captain
at Sea Girt in the absence of Capt. w. w.
williamson. 1t is expected Col. Brooks
will set forth an explanation of the griev-
ances of the Georgians, their claims of
unjust treatment and the fate they met at
the hands of Gen. Spencer and the New
Jersey State Rife Association, under the
auspices of which the meeting at Sea Grit
was held
Until Col. Brooks returns the other Sea
Critters who are back are maintaining 81
lence. They do not like the idea of dis
cussing the events that caused the con-
troversy for publication, believing that
Col. Brooks, as captain of the team and
the one therefore, most familiar with the
affair, should be allowed the privilege of
telling Savannahians just how it all came
about.
Several of the Sea Critters are already
back. among them Lieut.. w. w. Gordon,
Jr., Capt. Thomas Hunter Capt. c. II.
Konemann and Capt. G. A. Gordon. Col.
Brooks and several others are expected

1T LOOKED LIKE A RIOT.
Trouble on BrOuShtOn Street Avert
ed by POIfceman's Goodness.

ed by POIiceman's Goodness.
What appeared for a time to hold the
promise of a small sized riot occurred on
Broughton street, between Bull and Dray-
ton, yesterday morning. 1t was terminated
by the arrival and cool action of Patrol
man Tullis, by whom the principals were
arrested and sent in to the station house
The trouble began shortly after O'clock
when Mr. G. L. Bennett attempted to ar
rest one of a crowd of little negro urchins
who make their headquarters at the cor
ner of Broughton and Drayton streets and
act in such manner that passersby are
seriously annoyed and oftmes insulted
The crowd always scattered when an Of
ficer appeared on the scene and Patrolman
Tullis had asked Mr.. Bennett to arrest
oneI of the boys who seemed to be the
leader and hold the youngster until his
arrival.
This was done, Mr.. Bennett getting hold
of John Barnard and starting with his
prisoner in the direction of the box at the
corner of Broughton and Bull. on his way
he was overtaken by Jake Barnard. an
elder brother of the boy. who demanded
that he be released. The demand was re-
fused and the elder Barnard seemed about
10 use more desperate efforts. A
crowd gathered and there was a display Of
force on the side of those who were intend
ing to aid the Barnards and of those who
wanted to assist in their arrest.
Things looked bit squaly when Tulis
came up, and surveyed the situation. He
promptly arrested Jake Barnard and when
the wagon arrived sent both him and his
brother in to the station house. The Po-
lice Court was still in session and the pair
were arraigned before Recorder Hartridge.
with the result that Jake Barnard was
sentenced to thirty days in jail and his
brother TO a term of twenty days.
