FROM OLD CAROLINA.
The Excursion Season the Best Sa-
vannnh Has Ever known.

An excursion train of 10 cars arrived
yesterday morning from Sumter, $. C.,
bringing about 1000 people, 200 Of whom
were white. This is the second party of
excursionists from that section Of South
Carolina this week. They came over the
Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air
Lire.
This may be called the grand excurs sion
year for Savannah as there IS hardly a
day that one or more train loads Of peo-
pie do not arrive. They have been coming
from the states of Alabama and Flor da,
to say nothing of those from all over
Georgia, but especially the cities of At
lanta, Augusta and Macon. Now South
Carolina is adding to the crowds that
want to see the only growing and 60
ahead city on the South Atlantic c.ast.

Grounds This Afternoon

Chuh Hall, warranted by the Brunswick
team TO be the only thoroughly American
lied Chinaman in the country and a base
ball fan of the first water, will be up from

instruments, to scare away the evil spir-

chased by the company, including hun
dreds Of thousands OF acres of sugar and
fruit lands along the Cayuto River and
near Nipe Bay, which will be developed
as soon as the necessary railroad con-
struction, now actively progressing, is
completed.
The officials say that the report pub
Iished by the Havana papers representing g
the company as planning TO import Amer
lean negro Iaborers IS false On the con-
trary. the company will use Cuban labor.
except In the case Of experts, who will
not be available here. II is possible that
the company may be compelled 10 import
laborers from Spain. but no negroes will
be brought In.
The possibility OF the importation OF
more African blood has caused a bitter
feeling against the company among the
Cubans. which this official denial will do
much 10 dispel.

When asked with what measures he
would most interest himself during the

as IL any"
