of his leading competitor.
Each class had five runners, so that
there were twenty in all. The Second
grade made the distance in IA minutes and
80 seconds and the First grade b in II
minutes and IS seconds. Owing to a tech
nicality the second place in the race was
declared to belong to the First grade b.
The First grade A made two miles in good

burglars Took Mt. Zion society's
Bank Book.

Frank Grant and Lewis Green, two ne
groes who were arrested Tuesday after
noon for burglarizing the house of Thomas
Anderson, an old coIored man, who lives
on the Ogeechee road about three miles
from the city. were turned over on a
magistrates warrant yesterday morning
by the Recorder.
Anderson is the treasurer of the Mount
Zion Society, a fraternal organization of
the colored people and the bank book of
this society was among the effects stolen.
When tfle treasurer came to town to see
about the arrest of the burglars he no.
titled the bank in which the funds had
been deposited of the loss of the book and
had all payments stopped
When the men were arrested and search
ed they had nothing discriminating them,
but as friend of Anderson's saw them
leaving the house with the plumber they
will have considerable difficulty in con-
vincing a jury of their innocence.
Frank Grant, who has given bond for
his appearance when wanted, is the son
of a colored minister, but bears a bad
record and has only recently finished a
years sentence on the chain-gang for a
similar offense.

CONTRACTORS WILL MEET.
To Discuss the Demands Made by
Union Carpenters and JOiners.


Union Carpenters and JOiners.
The contractors of Savannah will be in
terested in meeting called for tomorrow
night, at which the question will be
whether or not the demand made upon
the contractors by the carpenters and
joiners and other labor unions of Savan-
nah will be complied with satisfactorily.
The carpenters and joiners have de-
manded that not only shall the hours Of
work under existing provisions be short
oned, but that the wages paid shall be
materially increased. This increase, it is
provided in the demand made upon the
contractors, shall be at least 10 per cent,
and may be more.
Mr.. ]. E. Burgess, president of the
Stewart Contracting Company, was spok-
en- to yesterday in regard to the position
that the city would probably assume, and
that the contractors would probably up
hold. In answer to the implied inquiry the
city will be inclined probably, to stand
upon its rights and not to make any con-
cessions to the laborers that the exigen-
cies do not demand.
Mr.. Burgess said that it is probable
there will be no decrease in the number of
hours that the carpenters and joiners of
the city would be expected to labor 1t
is his idea, though, that there will be
slight increase in the wages paid the car
penters and joiners, if they and the 9TH
er labor unions of the city acquiesced in
the programme that the contractors have
laid out.
Mr.. Burgess said that the increased
prices for provisions and the other neces-
saries of life have made it incumbent
upon the laborers to demand new scale
of wages, and that it is not the purpose
to dispute its justice. He does not believe
though, that in the present condition of
public affairs it will be possible to change
the hours of labor and is of opinion that
the contractors, at their meeting, will not
consent to it.

CAMERA CLUBS SALON.
Mid-Winter Exhibition Fixed for
Feb. 18th, 18th and nth.

Camera Club will be held in the clubs
rooms on the afternoons and evenings of
Feb. y, 10 aud A. The salon will be open
to all amateur photographers. whether
members of the club or not.
The club decided last night upon the
rules governing the contests. Every pic
ture entered must be exclusively the work
of the person entering it, and must never
have been entered in any exhibition or
contest or published. in any book or pc
riodical The pictures TO be entered must
be mounted and framed. There will be
three classes of pictures
A. Portraits, including groups and
genre pictures of human subjects on any
and all materials.
B. Paper prints, including all subjects
not embraced in Glass A.
c. Miscellaneous, including all pictures
other than portraits, and printed on other
materials than paper. such as glass, por-
celain, celluloid etc. that is, all pictures
not included in Glasses A or B.
A first, second and third prize will be
awarded to the three best pictures in each
class as determined by the judges elected
by the club. The club medal will be
awarded to the member of the club or
auxiliary entering the best set of four
pictures, two of which shall belong to
each of the two classes The medal may
be held by the winner until the next con-
test. An entrance fee of 10 cents will be
charged for each picture.
The success of the fall exhibition by the
Camera Club and the interest that is be-
ing taken in the coming salon both by
members of the club and those outside of
it, leads to the belief that it will be the
largest exhibition that the club has yet
given.

FARMERS ARE ALL RIGHT.
Commissioner of Agriculture Says
Crops Are in Good Condition.


Commissioner of Agriculture o. B. Stew
ems spent yesterday in Savannah on his
way to brownsville, where he goes on
trip of inspection of fertilizers and oils. ,
Commissioner Stevens came here direct
from Macon, where he was in attendance
on the Fruit Growers Convention that
met there Tuesday. He reports the farm
ing interests of the state to be in an ex-
eepuonally good condition. The farmers,
he said, are beginning not only to diversi-
fy their crops, which is a great improve
ment in their domestic economy, but are
also planting more cereals, particularly
wheat. of which a great quantity has
been planted throughout North Georgia
from Macon to the boundary line ana
also in the Southwestern part of the state.
This wheat, he said, is readily turned into
flour by the small mills that have been
erected in the vicinities where it Is grown
and practically he whole output is used
locally. With an increased acreage and
the erection of modern mills, Mr.. Stevens
thinks Georgia can supply not only all
the wheat used in the state, but also have
some for export.
When asked about the prospective cane
crop and whether the recent discussions
of the possibility of producing sugar profit
ably had influenced the farmers in any
way, he said the cane crop may have been
increased, but not nearly so much as lie
would like to see it.
The industrial movement of Savannah
pleased Mr. Stevens very much, and he
thought that nothing but good could come
of it.
He met a number of friends during the
day, and said that ne had some business,
the nature of which he would not dis
cuss, TO finish up and would leave this
morning for Thomasville.
