TO MEND FOR BACHELORS.
Woman's Exchange Expects soon TO
Put Its Plan an Operation.

The monthly meeting of the board of
managers of the Savannah Exchange for
Woman's Work was held yesterday morn
ing at II o'clock al the Guards Hall. Sew
eral matters of interest came before the
ladies, among them that of the intended
plan for attending to darning and mending
for bachelors. For some time this has
has been under discussion, and it is be-
lieved it is now in fair way to be con-
summated.
The ladies have gained an idea that the
bachelor young men of the city who are
removed from the care of mothers or sis
tiers and their ministrations to clothing
are greatly in need OF assistance in order
that garments may be kept in a proper
state of repair. They are doubtless cor
rect in this supposition, and the plan
they expect to put in operation whereby
clothing VIII be gathered up weekly for
mending will doubtless prove successful.
1t is proposed to turn the work over
to women who care 10 undertake IL and
who are perfectly competent to do so. A
sort of canvass of young men will be
made to ascertain how many are DESTROYS
of going upon a list to have such work
done.
A report was submitted upon the rum
mage sale that was concluded some ten
days ago Ii was shown that S93SS8 was
cleared. The amount was regarded as
highly satisfactory, and it is the purpose
of the ladies to undertake another such
sale next fall. Housekeepers and others
find contributions to a rummage sale
rather gratifying as they enable them
to get rid of a lot of accumulated ar
ticles that could be of no use to them
and yet are saleable.
The Fancy Work Committee of the FIX
change reported satisfactorily upon IFS
branch of the work, ii being shown that
the sales of fancy articles for February
amounted to s34S while for March the
amount was $8451 making total of
s119.39.
Ices will be disposed of at the FIX
change during the summer. That was de-
cided upon al the meeting, and those de-
string them may drop in any afternoon
for relief from the warm weather that is
fast making its appearance.

JcfTOrds' Insurance Case Decided by
Jury in PLANTING Favor.

The verdict Of the jury In the case of
Thomas c. and Edna Jeffords against the
Fidelity Mutual Life Associa ton was re-
turned in the United States Circuit Court
on yesterday 1t found for the plaintiffs
for practically the fun amount sued for,
with interest from Sept. 3. 1896 The total
amount of the verdict against the compa-
ny exceeds $4,000
Judge Speer delivered his charge 10 the
jury when court convened at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. The charge was a
lengthy one, and reviewed exhaustively
the law and the evidence in this interest
ing case. The jury were cautioned TO re-
ceive with care the evidence given by
paid inspectors and special agents of the
insurance company, " HON 1t employed to
examine into It's liability upon a policy
and to obtain evidence to defeat recovery
on the part of the benefciaries. Some of
these inspectors had testified on the stand
as 10 statements they said they had receiv-
ed from Mrs. Jeffords, the wife of the in
sured and one of the plaintiffs, and from
Dr. Hall, who examined Martin Jeffords
for the insurance company and passed IA
vOrably upon the risk. These statements
Mrs. Jeffords and DR.. Hall had either de-
MED or materially varied.
The jury was out less than an hour.
1t returned to the court room at one tims
to inquire whether or not it would be
justified under the law in bringing in
verdict for attorneys fees and was told
that this could not legally be done. The
jury seemed disappointed
When il made its final appearance in
the court room and its verdict was read
the audience had been prepared by this
prior question to expect it's contents and
there was no surprise exhibited. 1t found
for both plaintiffs for the full amount of
their respective policies, less one quar-
ter's premium. with interest at per
cent. from September 3, 1896 This
amounted in all to more than $1,000.
The case will be carried promptly to
the Circuit Court of Appeals by Messrs.
Barrow & Barrow, who represented the
losing insurance company. The success

terday Afternoon. A protest against the
condition of the lands was made not long
since by Mr.. ] F. Guilmartin, who holds

ed the lands were improperly drained and
desired the county to improve their con-
dtion.

Mr.. R. NJ. Hull, and Mr.. J. j. Carolan

II was learned. however, that the pron-

matter over which the county and the
agents who represent Mr. w. J. De
