sumed charge of the office and its equip
ment and began at once his duties of in
spection.
There were few formalities attending the
transfer from Col. Screven TO Mr.. Norris
sey. The new inspector presented to the
retiring one his commission from Commis-
sioner Of Agriculture Stevens, and there
were a few pleasant words on both sides.
The change was no surprise TO Col. Sore
ven. he had understood for some time
that considerations and promises made
year ago bound the Commissioner of Ag-
riculture 10 the appointment of Mr.. Nor
rissey, ana that il was eventually assur-
ed. Mr.. Stevens thought that even the
permission granted Col. Screven 10 serve
out the term for which he was originally
appointed in the nature Of a concession,
and that this was all he could reasonably
be asked or expected TO do.
Col. Screven was appointed by Commits
sioner Nesbitt two years ago. That hls
work has been thoroughly satisfactory 10
the business men of Savannah, irrespec,

CAMERA CLUES EXHIBITION.
The Rooms Filled with Visitors
Yesterday and Last Night.

The fail exhibition OF the Savannah
Camera Club opened yesterday afternoon
at the club rooms. at Bull street and Park
avenue. The rooms were well filed with
visitors during the afternoon and evening,
and much interest was taken In the exhi-
bition, which is really a surprising one.
Something over 100 pictures are exhib-
tied. The display from an artistic and
technical standpoint, is more than credit
able; il is excellent. For a first exhibition
the club is to be congratulated, and the
exhibitors have reason to be proud of their
work. One Of The purposes, If not the
chief one. aimed at in the display, is tech
micah excellence, but in this the artistic
has not been altogether lost sight Of. The
hand and eye Of the rtst-photographer
are seen In most of the pictures.
For the most part the exhib-
lis are landscapes, but the higher
work of portraits is not lacking.
The display of portraits greatly ex-
GELS what was expected. detailed ac-
count of the one hundred or more pictures
is impracticable. Among the exhibitors
are DR.. w. F. Aiken, Mr.. II. c. Shuptr.ne,
Mr.. w. f. Grady. Mr.. 3. J. Aprle, Mt.
Percy Sugden, N. c. e Yonge, Mr.. A.
Jerger, Mr.. p. NJ. Bryan, Mt 3. p. Arson,
Mr.. ID. Van Wagenen, Mr.. Barron Carrier,
DR.. E. r. Corson, Mrs Wylly, Mrs. Til
ms mast MI. r. =. HAAlty, MI w al dee
Fretwell. Mr. Connery, and number of
others.
One of the features of the exhibition is
the display of pinhole photographs By DR..
Aiken and Mr.. Sugden. One
of these pictures is a large noun
tain Landscape made by DR. Aiken
with a camera constructed Of a oOx
from a country grocery store. and costing
altogether As cents. Mr.. Sugden's pinhoe
photographs were taken with a small box
painted black, and which cost nothing ex-
cept the time in making it. Pinhole pho
tographs are made without the aid of a
lens
The display of opals and transparencies
is an excellent one. 1t includes both por-
traits and landscapes, and is to many the
most interesting feature outside of the
portraits. There is a lack of animal pic
lures and interior views, but the collection,
taken as a whole, IS far beyond what the
committee expected.
The exhibition viii continue to-day and
tomorrow, closing tomorrow night, when
the prizes will be awarded. The judges
are Mr. A. r. Launey Mr.. S. Z. Theus
and Miss wilkins. The club rooms will be
open TO visitors from to o'clock after
moons and from to 10 o'clock evenings.

The Georgians so on with the brightest
hopes of success. one of the gentlemen
who will represent Georgia was ready to

Commanding General Discussed
Plans for the Reunion Last Night
Gen. Clement A. Evans, commanding the
Georgia Division of United Confederate
Veterans, reached the city last night and
registered at the Pulaski Gen. Eyans
spent the evening in discussing with some
of the members of the Executive Commit
tee the arranged plans fer the reunion
next week.
The commanding general expressed him
self as being well satisfied with the pros
pect for a large and successful gathering
of the veterans and stated he felt assured
that Savannah would do everything possi-
BILE TO entertain them. During the confer
ence Gen. Evans discussed with the mem
bers of the committee his ideas as To the
best manner of forming the parade and
made other suggestions that viii be sub
mitted 10 the meeting tonight.
Gen. Evans contemplates leaving the city
this morning for Atlanta, though The COM
mitteemen are very DESTROYS of having
him prolong his stay until evening, so that
he may attend their meeting and state
his views in open council. 1t is hardly pos
sible that he win be able TO do this.

TO REDUCE REQUIRED AGE.
Guards to Permit Boys of Sixteen to
Become Members of the Corps.

The Savannah Volunteer Guards battal-
ion held its November meeting at the ar
senal last night There was a compare
lively large attendance, and the meeting
was rendered interesting by the presence
of many of the veteran and exempt mem
bers of the corps.
An amendment to the constitution pass
ed It's first reading, providing that the age
limit should be reduced from IS TO Is
years. The prospective change is design
ed to attract a number of youths who
are now barred from membership, but
who, it is thought will be glad to join
should the required age be made two years
less than has been the case up TO the pres
ent time.
A regular and formal election was held
for captain of Company d. The only
candidate was Lieut.. Harry Blum. who
has been chosen by the company at an
informal election. The election of last
night was presided over by a board of
officers, consisting of Capt. J. NJ. Rogers
Lieut.. w. c. Hartridge and Lieut. w. P.
OFT. The vote was very small, and it Is
feared that a new election must be held
to comply with the formalities prescribed
by the state regulations.

KILLED IN ATTEMPTING THEFT.
Unknown Negro Found with the
Back of His Head Shattered.

Back of His Head Shattered.
Yesterday morning Coroner Goette locat-
ed and brought to the city the body of an
unknown negro man, which had been
found in a field near Jasperville, two or
three miles west of Savannah. The back
of the negros head was shattered with
buckshot and it was evident that ne had
lain in the position in which he was found
for several days.
The coroner had some vague report OF
the existence of the CHASTITY object Sun
day night and made an effort to find it,
The search was continued for an hour or
longer, without success, but yesterday it
was renewed and resulted in the find Of
the body. Nearby was a sack containing
cabbage plants, which the dead man had
evidently stolen from the field and with
which he was trying 10 get away when
he was shot and killed. The reason for
the homicide Is thus made clear, but there
is no clue TO the identity Of the slayer
The field In which the body was found
is said to belong 10 Mr. William ExIey
though even on this point there seems 10
be some doubt. Nobody in the neighbor-
hood was able to identify the decd BODY
as that of any one known in the vicinity
nor has the coroner been able to supply
the missing link in the chain of evidence
The chain, by the way, seems to consist
in large part of missing links for the
identity Of the dead man., that Of his
slayer and the time and exact manner OF
the death ere alike unknown The body
was buried in the Potter's Field and il
Is not likely that an inquest will be held.

THIRD TO GATHER HERE.
Old Georgia Regiment viii Take
Part in the Reunion.

1aFt III the reunion.
The Confederate reunion win gain in
creased interest from the fact that the
Third Georgia Regiment win rendezvous
in Savannah on that occasion. The veter-
an members of this command viii gather
here and talk over, among themselves, the
old stories of common prlvation endured
and command danger dared, in the days
of 1876.
Col. Claiborne Sneed, who commands the
veteran organization of the regiment, has
written to members of the Reunion Elk
ecutive Committee, announcing this inten-
ton, and quarters for the meeting of this
particular band of the old heroes of the
war have been secured in the assembly
hall of the Chatham Artillery, on the third
floor of the building. The Chathams have
been most invariably kind and generous
in their proffers of their hall for the pur-
poses of the reunion, but this last evil
dence of their good VIII is none the less
appreciated and esteemed.
The Third had an interesting war his
tory 1t was among the first regiments
from Georgia, or, indeed, from any state
to reach Virginia at the outbreak of the
war. The regiment formed a part of the
brigade commanded by Gen. Rance"
Wright, and saw hard fighting in many
battles. Subsequently, Gen. G. NJ. SOrreu
was promoted to the command of the bri
gade Its other constituent parts the
Twenty and Forty-eighth Georgia
Regiments and the Second Georgia Bat
TALON, have been invited to meet with the
Third when 1t assemblies here. Savannah
numbers many of the veterans of these
commands among her citizens of to-day.
Col. Sneed writes to friends here that
the prospect Tor the presence of a goodly
number of the veterans of his command
in Savannah during the reunion is a prom
Using one. Should his expectations be full
filled 1t Is quite probable that special ar
rangements for the reception of the COM
mand will be made and that it will be as
signed to a place of honor In the parade
on Thursday. 1t is possible, too, that the
reunion of the Third will result in other
movements of like character by other reg
iments and unattached battaiions of the

WILL SOD THE SLOPE.

at Fort Screven.
The slope leading up to Fort screven. on
Iybee Island, on three sides Is being plant
ed with sod. The work is rather extern

necessary have 10 be taken from the civ
to Tybee. '
Tybee Railroad has been busy several
days handling both sod and manure. Al
ready some twenty-five carloads have been
handled, and ii is expected that something
ike 100 viii be needed for the complexion
or the undertaking. The sod is being Sc
cured from the meadow near the Tybee
depot that has been used for pasturing cat
tie.
1t was decided to sod the slope on ac-
count of the guns The sand has been
blowing In such rate ever since the
guns were placed in position that it has
kept the artlerymen busy freeing them
from it. The mechanism of the heavy
pieces is not helped by the grains, and the
officers decided the best plan to avoid the
trouble would be 10 have grass where
there has been sand.
The walls of the fort are some thirty
feet high. The outside is not seen al all
the sand being piled against it, The slope
thus formed is fully $50 feet long From
the side of the sea it could not be told by
one unfamiliar with the fact that there is
a fort on Tybee.
