GUARDS DISCUSS UNIFORMS.
Members Cherish StiIl FOndness
for the Historic Gray.


for the Historic Gray.
At the monthly meeting of the Savan-
nah Volunteer Guards last night there
was an animated discussion as to the
propriety and adyisability Of changing
from the gray uniform of the corps to the
regulation blue of the state service. The
question was finally laid on the table.
The motion to adopt the blue uniform
was made by Capt. Wright Hunter and
theoretically opposed by Capt w. b.
SteI hens The opinion of the members
present on the subject seemed to be di-
vid5d and it was thought best to postpone
definite action until after Maj Screveu
had received his commission and until
there had been opportunity for further
discussion and meditation.
There would doubtless be little opposi-
ton to a movement having in view the
adoption of the regulation state uniform,
in connection with the uniform of the
corps, using the former when the Guards
parade as an integral part of the First
Regiment and the latter on the special oc-
casions il will celebrate as a battalion. 1t
is understood that the state is willing 10
furnish the regulation uniform without
cost 10 the enlisted men of the battalion
and if they might at the same time, re-
tain the Old uniform around which so
much of tender sentiment and association
is entwined, the objection would not be
very great.
The principal objection lies in the belief
that if the state uniform is once adopted
for any purpose the Guards can be forced
to discard the other altogether and will
lose in this manner The trihing remnant
of their identity that the action of the
state military authorities has left them.
OF this cHrtailed and somewhat mutilated
identity they are stiu jealous and keenly
alive and opposed to any movement that
| seeks It's destruction or would tend even
remotely to bring it about.

A SUCCESSFUL SOUTHERN

stantlal recognition accorded them is but
proof that this phenomenally success
full industry fills a long felt want in the
south. The management of the New

A. S. White, president and Mr.. A. J.
Nelson, manager, have spared no ex-
pense in the equipment of this mammoth.
up to date plant. New and improved ma
chnery is constantly being added, and
the daily increase In their trade shows
the correct Judgment of the management
in establishing their plant In New Or
leans where, owing to river competition,
low freight rates are obtained on their
raw materials. thus enabling them to
undersell all northern and western COM
petitors. The manufactured articles or
the New Orleans Roofing and Metal
Works are not only well and favorably
known throughout the south, but are
in growing demand in Mexico, CUBA
and our sister republics. few of the
standard articles which have gained
them much favor consist of Ornamental
Steel Ceilings. CriAped Copper and Gal

the large profits earned are being eh

The last issue Of Cotton says:
Larger Dividends the Real Stimulus-
There is no sentiment about the activ-
ity In cotton mill construction In the
1900. The movement forward along this
line Is a practical one. Back OF IL are
the far-seeing young men OF the new
south and the real stimulus Is large dlvl-
dends. Hardly In the history OF this
country has any one Industry ever paid
such large returns for the careful In
yestment of capital as cotton manulac-
turing In the south has, and this fact
alone Is the real cause that will dot the
eOttOn-growing south with cotton rae
tories
ut has been a fortunate incident that
the great majority Of factories so far
have made money and the rule has been
large dividends to the stockholders.
few failures have occurred-very few
but these have been the exception anu
the result of poor management In most
cases. The men who put their money
in cotton factories have been considered
fortunate by their neighbors. Their good
fortunes have brought about discussions
which almost invariably lead TO the or
ganlZatiOp of new companies. Thus the
desire to reap some of the profits which
are coming to the south In the cotton
manufacturing business Is the animuS
back of the general movement In all
eCtions for new mills.
In conclusion, there are so many evil
dences to be had Of n wonderful growth
that 1t hardly needs any elaboration to
the well-informed. and this data Is as
sembled to convince and confront the

Messrs. MarsaI ~ Smith.

Nothing is more important than that a

be no shifting OF cargo In mlo-oceah
during the stress OF storm, or the sup
and possibly the lives of all on BOARD,
will be endangered. Little wonder. then,
that the loadlns Of ships ranks almost
as science, tor the capacity or ton,

the manner in which TO best and most

must be thoroughly understood. 10

necessity for utilizing all the carrying
space consistent with safety Is clearly
apparent TO those who 60 down TO the

are ambitious for dividends.
There are two men In New orleans
who have an enviable record as master
stevedores, They have had long expe-
rence, separately and as partners, and
are personally known TO the thousands
of ship owners and captains VINO visit
this port. The firm of Marsal d Smith,
steyeuoreS, is known for the dispatch
with which they handle cargoes, the
workmanllke manner IN winch they
stow vessels, and for the important
fact that there has never been hre
in a vessel of their loading, out OF the
hundreds of ships of ali kinds that they
have loaded with cotton, Nor do the
cargoes they stow ever shift when the
vessel is stOrm-lashed and buneted.
These two facts, no doubt, are the basis
OF the popularity and success OF the

If the shifting of cargo means pos
