The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Egan, and the first business consid-
cred was change in the bylaws govern
ing the board of directors. This change
calls Tor chairman of the board After
its adoption Maj. Hanson was nominated
ana elected chairman.
The election of Mai. Hanson was unan-
imous, as was that of Vice President Egan
to be president, which followed No vice
president was chosen, nor did that mat
ter come up for consideration. 1t is be-
ieved there will be no vice president,
though the bylaws call for one. At some
subsequent meeting of the board this pro-
vision will probably be removed.
No one was surprised in the choice the
board made of a president. Mr.. Egan
was settled upon weeks ago in the public
mind as the man for the place.
The surprise was in Mai. Hanson's cleo
ton is chairman of the board, as no hint
of such purpose had been given. As the
head of the board Mai Hanson will have
charge of the finances and perform many
Of the duties that fell to the late presi-
dent.
Maj. Hanson has been member of the
board of directors of the Central since
the reorganization of the property. He
business men in the state. AS president
of the Bbb Manufacturing Company he
has mace that company eminenty sue
cessful. Maj. Hanson is a close friend of
President Samuel Spencer of the South
ern Railway, and has many friends in
Savannah and throughout the state. He
was intimately associated with President
Conner in business, and as a friend
Mr.. L. +. Smith was elected assistant
secretary of the company by the direc-
tors. During the time Mr.. Egan has been
with the Central Mr.. Smith has been his
chief clerk He will continue in Mr..
Egan's Office, which will be where it is
at present established in the new build
ing of the Central Mr.. Egan is there in
touch with the officials Of the system aud
batter able to look after its operation.
The vacancy on the executive committee
of the board of directors. caused by the
death of Mr.. Conner, was filled by the
election of Col. A. Il. Lawton. The com
mittee now consists of Mr.. Samuel SDen-
Ger, President Egan, Chairman Hanson,
Mr.. Charles Steele of New York and Col.
Lawton.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting of the board of directors, which
was on the day of Mr.. Corners funeral,
to prepare a memorial to the late presi-
dent, reported through its chairman, Mai,
Hanson. The resolutions were read and
adopted, and a copy appears in this issue
Of the Morning News. The committee con
sisted Of Mai. Hanson, Col. Lawton and

French CIaret Wines and German
Rhine and MOseIIe Wines,

The fine French wines in bottles are i'm
ported direct from the well known house
of Everest, Dupont & Co., Bordeaux,
France, by Lippman Bros. of this city.
Lppman Bros desire to call attention 10
the st. Julien brand of cla-et wine, which
is very fine, but quite low-priced.
Their Chateau Leovile is known as one
of the finest claret wines imported to the
United States.
Lippman Bros importations OF Rhine
wines are certainly worth the attention
of connosseurs. They are from the cele-
brated wine grower Martin Deutz of
Frankfort n-the-Main, Germany.
His Bodenheim Rhine wine is very nice
and delicious. but low price.
His Marcobrunner Cabinet, from select
ed grapes, is well worth the attention of
the finest judges of Rhine wine In the city.
His Yohannisburger Cabinet is very deli
cate and rare, and is perfection of wine
and the finest of all.-ad

ening the burden that rested upon Presi-
dent Conner they stopped when they came
to Mr.. Egan. President Conner desired
to lay aside the management of the OPP
GRAFTON of the railroad, and il was thought
a vice president should be chosen to a =
sumo It. Accordingly. provision for sucn
an officer was made in the bylaws, and
Mr. Egan was elected.
The position OF president and general
manager of the Chicago, St. Paul and
Kansas City Railway was given up by Mr..
Egan in order that he might accept the
vice presidency of the Central. II was
while he was with the Chicago St Paul
and Kansas City that the great Chicago
strike of railway employees occurred, and
IL became necessary for the railroads TO
put some man competent TO deal with the
situation in supreme power A committee
of officials was appointed, and Mr.. Egar
was made chairman. In that position he
put down the strike. His management of
the railroads affairs i'm that trying ordeal
won him fame throughout the country.
During the years he has been with the
Central, Mr. Egan has gained a large ac-
quaintance in Georgia, and he is univer
sally popular. The news of his election
did not require long to spread, and by
the close Of the day he had received many
kilograms of ccngratulation. It is safe to
say that Georgians are perfectly satisfied
with the choice the directors have made,
ana the old supposition that none other
than a Southerner could fill the position
acceptably to the people of the state has
been controyerted. The marked interest
Mr.. Egan has taken in Georgia and his
evident desire to bring about its material
devel0pm rent and improvement have been
convincing arguments that none could be
more silictous for the state or its peo-
pie.

SEE TO THE WALLS.


A Danger in schoolrocms and How to
Prevent 1T.
Owing to the gathering of SO many
different classes of persons therein,
the interior walls of churches, school
houses, hospitals, etc, are apt to be-
come repositories of disease germs un-
less preventive measures are taken.
These walls should always be coated
with a clean and pure cement, such
as Alabastine, which is disinfectant in
Its nature and more convenient to re-
new and retint than any other wall
coating. The first cost is no greater
than for inferior work, while re-
newals are more easily and cheaply
made.
