TALKING OF THE CENSUS.
If the Government Gives Savannah
10000 None Will Kick.


Discussion of the number of inhabitants
the government census will show for Sa-
vannah continues, and guesses are again
INDUCED in, now that it has developed
that Capt, Henry Blum, Jr., did not intend
that his estimate of from $1,000 to $4,000
should be regarded as made from the
census schedules that had been turned in
to him. He drew his estimate from the
city census taken in 1897 which showed
1924, a gain of about 5000 in seven years.
Capt. Blum concluded there had been a
gain of another 5000 in the three years
that have elapsed since the sanitary in
spectors took abe census.
Mayor Myers expressed the belief that
the sanitary inspectors did not take
they had not he facilities for doing so.
He adheres 10 his view that the city has
something like $1,000 or $1,000.
Those who take exception to the esti-
mate given by Capt. Blum declare 1t is
not reasonable to suppose that Savannah
has added no more than 5000 to her pop
ulation from 1890 to 1900, for 1900 were
gained from 1880 to 1890. The same per-
centage of increase would give gain of
considerably more than 900 from 1890 to
1900.
The matter will not be settled until the
official figures are sent out from Wash
ington. After the low estimates that have
been made of late, there will scarcely be
any disappointment If it is shown that
Savannah has $1,000 people, though
guesses some time ago were running as
high as 10000 or rs, 900.

DEFENDANTS PLEADED GUILTY.
Miller and King Acknowledged
Their Guilt in Superior Court.

Two of the men indicted by the grand
jury of the present term OF the Superior
Court announced yesterday their willing
ness and desire TO enter pleas of guilty
and were brought before Judge Falli-
giant. Sentence was pronounced In both
cases.
Chris V. Miller better known as
"Chiks," was indicted by the grand jury
for assault with intent to murder Will
liam Humphres. Chicks pleaded guilty,
to be punished as for a misdemeanor, and.
as the solicitor general was content with
this plea. Judge F'aligant sentenced the
defendant to pay a fine of 500 and costs,
or, in lieu OF the fine to serve twelve
months on the chain-gang.
Emery King received a like sentence.
upon a plea Of guilty to an indictment
charging him with larceny from the
house. King stole two shotguns, one Of
the value Of 500 and the other of the
value of $50, from the residence of Mr..
Ralph Elliott. Unfortunately for him he
was not successful in concealing his plum
der and fell an easy prey 20 the officers
of the law.

NOTHING DOING IN RACING.
Yachtsmen Are Saying Nothing
About Beating Charleston.


About Heating Charleston.
Yachting interest among Savannah low
ers of boats has been settled down to
cruises among the islands along the coast
or to afternoon sails on the several rivers
and inlets. Parties leave the Savannah
Yacht Club nearly every afternoon, while
Isle of Hope and White Bluff also have
those who enjoy an afternoons sail RacL
ing and racing talk, though, is off, and
since the defeat of the Dragon by the
Maris, but little has been said Barring
the Isle of Hope races and the rather spas
modic and futile efforts to hold a Savan-
nah Yacht Club regatta on July 4, nothing
at all in the racing line has been done.
No further talk is heard about getting
a boat TO beat the Maris next year, nor
is it said that plan for the alteration
of the sails and spars of the Dragon has
been determined upon. In due time there
may be revival of this agitation to Sc
cure something that can sail away from
the Maris, but just now the enthusiasts
are giving their attention to other mat
tiers.
