he said that the cotton factory would be
put in operation again soon. In order
to arouse the interest of the citizens in
the citY's industrial needs and TO give IL
proper direction MIR. Strong suggested that
the Merchants Association should broaden
its scope and endeavor to bring into its
ranks business men in all lines and citi-
zens generally who are Interested in the
welfare and upbuilding Of the city. This
association should have a committee
whose special business 1t should be TO in
terest itself in behalf of new industries
and to remove obstacles In their way, and
il necessary to bring the whole force of
the association to bear for this purpose
MIR. Strong gave an incident of a gentle
man from Baltimore who wished TO es-
tablish large canning factory on one of
the suburban lines of the street railway
company. In order that freight might be
handled over the street railway 1t was nee
essary, he said, that a change should be
made in the curve al the government hos
pital in order to admit of the handling OF
freight cars. When the street railway
people were approached on this subject,
however, they gave no encoura cement,
Notwithstanding the benefit the line would
have received by increased freight and
passenger traffic should the factory be es-
tablished. This incident showed the need
of such an association, he said.
Mr.. Strong's second suggestion was that
some competent, reliable man. well suited
for the purpose, and well acquainted with
the conditions at Savannah, should be en-
ployed by the association at a fair sal
airy and expenses to go North, visit the
manufacturing centers make a study of
the conditions there, ascertain what man
ufacturing industries can be proi tably op-
Grated here and what manufacturers are
considering a change and placing them in
touch with the proper parties, The asso-
citation could then interest Itself and give
such aid, moral and financial, as the en-
terprise merited. In conclusion Mr. Strong
advised his auditors not to stop agiatlng.
A unanimous vote of thanks to Mr..
Strong for his interesting and instructive
remarks was rendered by the meeting,
This was followed by a discussion of some
length as to the proper steps TO pursue in
order to present the situation properly to
the people of Savannah and enlist them
in the movement Mr.. Strong's IDEAS were
generally Endorsed, and the business men
acknowledged themselves Indebted TO him
for his valuable suggestions
The situation was discussed by Messrs.
B. H. Levy, Leopold Adler, M. Dryfus, s.
Krouskoff. A. s. Nichols, S. Gardner and
others. The result of this discussion was
the adoption of a resolution instructing
the chairman TO appoint a committee 10
call upon the Mayor and request that he
call a meeting of the citizens at the ex-
change at an early date for the purpose
of taking action in the direction Indicated
by Mr. Strong. Mr.. Strong was asked If
he would attend such o meeting and give
a further expression of his views, If de-
sired. and replied that he would, The
chair appointed Messrs. S. Krouskoff C.
S. Byck, S. Gardner and A. S. Nichols.

COL. BROOKS HAS RESIGNED.
Lieutenant Colonel of the First VIII
Go on the Retired List.

Lieut. Col. Jordan F. Brooks of the First
Regiment Infantry, has rendered his res
ignation as an active officer. He will be
placed upon the reserve list of officers in
the state service
Col. Brooks retirement is due to mis-
press of business matters. He finds him
self unable to give both his business and
the duties of the position of lieutenant
colonel all the attention both need, and
decided it would be best for him 20 give
UP his commission His resignation has
been forwarded to the Office of the adju-
tant general in Atlanta, with the follow
ing Endorsement by Col. Lawton, which
speaks eloquently of the estimation in
which he is held by the commanding
colonel of the regiment:
II have always considered Lieut. Col.
Brooks the best officer of the Georgia Vol
unteers. He has for many years been
the leader in every step toward military
efficiency and improvement of the SER
vice. His place cannot be satisfactorily
filled; and approve only because know
his reasons are controlling and his action
final"
For some time 1t has been Col. Brooks
intention to retire. Several weeks ago he
made up his mind 10 do so, but the passage
OF the bill making it necessary for all of
neers to be reelected on Feb, / made him
hesitate.' He did not like the idea of APP
Fearing to resign under fire. Several days
ago 1t was reported that this bill did not
apply to field officers, which allowed Col
Brooks 10 resign without any one having
chance TO say that he questioned his re-
election
Since the resignation was handed in it
mas developed that field, as well as line,
otheers, must be reelected on Feb !. Had
COL. Brooks remained In the position there
Is no doubt in any mind that he would not
nave failed to be chosen. His ability, in
terest in military and great sacrifices are
TOO well known and thoroughly appreciat-
ca TO admit of that.
Col. Brooks commenced his military ca
Ieer by joining the Oglethorpe Light In
lantry on April &C. 1872 lie was made q
corporal of the company the next month,
ana In December became sergeant His
[rst commission was as adjutant of the
