THEIR ESCORT ACCEPTED.
Guards to Accompany veterans As
ISOLATION to Memphis


At the monthly meeting of the Savan-
nah Volunteer Guards Battalion, he'd
at the armory last night. the secre-
tary read a letter from President Robert
Falligant of the Confederate Veterans, to
Maj. Thomas Screven, commanding the
battalion.
The letter was one of acceptance of the
Guards offer of escort to the veterans,
on their trip to Memphis next year. on the
occasion of the reunion of the United Con-
federate Veterans. In his letter to Maj.
Screven, Judge Falligant said:
Il have the honor to state that your
letter dated Aug. l, formally rendering
the services of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards as an escort of the Confederate
Veterans Association on the occasion of
the next reunion of the Confede rate Vet
Grams, at Memphis, Tenn in May 1901
was presented to the association at its
regular meeting last evening The ten
der was unanimously and enthusia stically
accepted. 1t gives me special pride and
pleasure to acknowledge the honor con-
ferred by your distinguished and historic
corps"
The Guards heard the reading of this
letter with applause and many outward
manifestations of their intention to make
good their claim to the expressions of the
veterans confidence contained therein.
During the intervening months special eff
forts will be made to make the trip to
Memphis memorable among the triumphs
of the Guards.

MAY LOCATE IN SAVANNAH.
Col. AIInutt of Tampa TO Meet Local
business Men.

Col. John Allnutt of Tampa is expected
in the city to-day to present a very i'm
portant matter to the business men of
Savannah. Col. Alnutt is the organizer
and chief mover in the South Florida
Planting and Sugar Refining Company
which has undertaken TO build a 81 ,0OOOG
refinery a Tampa. The proba bilities are
now that the location of the refinery may
be changed TO Savannah.
Mr.. E. A. Cults is the man who drew
Col. Allnutts attention to Savannah as a
desirable location for the refinery. Mr..
CUTS was returning from New. York
about a week ago and met Col. Allnutt
on the train. The latter was also return
ing from New York, where he had lust
perfected arrangements for issuing $780,
$50 or bonds on the refinery. Naturally
tne two Gentlemen enter ed into a dis
cussion of the refinery business and Mr.
Cults presented the claims of Savannah
pointing cut the immense railway and
steamship facilities to be availed of here
giving easy access 10 all markets, and
the advantageous location of the city to
the surrounding country.
Col. Allnutt was Immediately interest
ed. He readily admitted the advantages
of Savannah and stated further that his
examination of the country had convinced
him that the lanos of South Georgia
were better suited for cane culture than
any he had found elsewhere. AS
the refinery is intended to con-
sumo the local product, the
advantages of being conveniently
located 10 a good cane-procuding territory
are apparent.
Col Allnutt was so much impressed
with Mr. Cuts presentation of Savan-
nah's advantages that he telegraphed to
New York en- route to have the issue of
bonds stopped until the question of To-
cafing the refinery az Savannah could be
passed upon. He agreed TO meet Mr..
Curtis in Savannah at an carly date and
was expected last night, but could not be
| found at any of the hotels
Mr. Cuts understanding of the matter
from Col Allnutt is that the company
| has been organized and the capital Sc
cured for the refinery and that all that
is desired from Savannah is manifesto
ton of sufficient interest in the enterprise
TO insure hearty cooperation on
! the part of the local business people
and sufficient subscriptions to the stock
to enable the company TO give local repre-
sentation on its board
II this understanding be correct il would
seem that there would be no difficulty in
giving the desired assurances in the short
est possible time and thus securing a val
ued and much-to-be-desired enterprise for
Savannah. Several gentlemen to whom
Mr.. Cuts has preached the matter have
stated their willingness to subscribe under
the conditions stated.
Many of the leading business men are
out of the city at present, but Mr.. Cuts
will endeavor to bring Col. Alnutt IN
touch with a number of those here IN or
der that they may be made acquainted
with Col. Allnutts plans.

MIR. EGAN AND THE CROPS.
He Believes There Is Tendency to
"HoIler" Too Soon.

President John VI. Esan is an optimist
This is particularly true when he views
the crop situation. He is always exceed
ingly anxious for the farmers to make
good crops. both on their account and for
the sake of the revenues OF the Central
Railroad. The entire country. too. Mr.
Egan knows, is benefited when crops are
good.
Many are inclined, Mr.. Egan says, to
"holler before they are hit" in the matter
OF crops An outlook that. temporarily,
may be distressing is set down as ire
mediab,e and a cry of failure is the result.
Conditions frequently improve, and Mr.
Egan believes farmers and others should
not grow Respondent whenever some I'M
toward influence works what is perhaps
only a transient injury.

and completes the thirty-fifth year in the
history of our schools, it will be of inter-
est to take a brief survey of what has
been accomplished in that time by the
educational forces as directed by the
Board of Education
The organization of the public schools
of Savannah at the close of devastating
war, amid scenes of almost political revo-
luton and great social unrest exhibits a
degree of pluck, wisdom and patriotism
in the people of this city unsurpassed in
educational history. The new system was
fortunate at the outset alike in securing
for Its administration men of high char
acter and unquestioned loyalty to the best
interests of Savannah and her people, and
in having them placed beyond the baleful
influences of political corruption.
From small beginnings the public
schools have steadily increased in magni-
tude and importance until they now en-
brace all classes Of our people, and afford
educational advantages equal to the best
in the country. Beginning with an en-
ro.lment of only. $40 pupils, in 1866, they
now, in 1890 contain an enrolment of
S.6I. In 1880 the enrolment was 4 235, and
in the twenty years following the increase
has been more than 105 per cent.
The century closes upon our schools
with an honorable and useful history, and
Win d prospect VI sun WlueT usefulness
and responsibility. Many problems are
before US for solution, and many improve
ments in our educational work must come
to meet the requirements of the age. The
prosperity and happiness of our country
depend upon the intelligence of the peo-
pie, and TO secure these blessings for the
present and the coming generations the
schools are giving their best efforts.
Il desire, in conclusion, to express my
grateful Acknowledgements to the Board
for their. confidence and hearty support in
the administration of our school affairs
and to the principals and teachers for
the aid and cooperation which they have
cheerfully given me during the year"
