CROPS WERE BADLY INJURED.
Chatham Truck Growers Suffered
Much From Recent Cold Wave.


The crops of the truck growers about
Savannah were badly damaged by the
cold of Sunday, The warm weather of yes
tcrcay sufficing to deve.op and reveal the
full extent of the injury which had over
taken the plants There were very many
acres throughout which there was left
scarcely a vestiga of life.
The crop of cabbas is the principal loss
of the truck growers. In the first place
they had planted it more largely than
any other crop that was sufficiently far
advanced to suffer from the effects of the
cold wave, and it seemed, unluckly, that
in most cases it had just reached the
stage a. which it was most susceptible to
the evil influence of the freeze. The crop
was very badly damaged indeed and a
large prcpoI ton of the plants have been
killed outright
Other crops have suffered in less degree,
principally beCA use they We're not so large
as the crop OF cabbage. Lettuce, celery
and. turnips are among the field crops
that the growers had under cultivation
above ground and of these many of the
plants were killed and the others nipped
and blackened by the frost and cold. The
crops will be replanted, so that the loss,
while it is unwelcome and severe is not
irretrievable
Reports from the peach sections of the
state indicate that the cold has done no
damage to the crop of this staple Georgia
fruit, but that on the contrary the com
ing of the cold wave has been attended
with distinct advantage to the crop. The
fruit buds had not yet swollen sufficient
ly to be injured by such cold as that of
last Sunday. and the effect of the freeze
has been to retard their maturity sun
further, so that they will not be in "a po-
sition to be injured until after all danger
of severe frost has passed The optimists
from the fruit section of Southwest Geor-
gia say that the, coming season will be
one OF the NEST successful in the history
Of peach cultivation in Georgia and that
the crop will he enc of die largest that has
ever been known.

DETECTIVES LET OFF LIGHT.
SCULLY, BARRETT AND SHEA BACK
ON THE FORCE.

ReprImanded by the Mayor and Fin
ed $40 Each-Their Reinstatement
Made Capital of by the Politicians.

Temporarily Appointed Detectives,
Returned TO Patrol Duty.
City Detectives Scuny, Barrett and
Shea, who had been suspended several
days ago by Superintendent of Police
Screven, on a charge of infraction of che
rules of the department, were given a
hearing by Mayor Myers yesterday after
noon at police headquarters and were re-
instated after having been reprimanded
end fined $40 each. The detectives re-
turned to duty last night, and officers
Godbold and ]. j. Murphy, who had been
appointed on the detective force pending
the settlement Of the matter, were re-
turned to patrol duty
The friends of the suspended men have
Claimed all along that the detectives had
nothing 20 fear, and predicted approxi-
matey the Mayors action, but there We're
others interested in the trial who did
not lake this view of the case, and they
were by far in the majority.
Mayor Myers decision was the principal
topic in political circles last night, as soon
as it became known that the men had
been reinstated The impression is that the
Mayors action win have far reaching eff
fect in politics and may extend even be-
yond those of merely municipal interest
So positive were some on this point that
they were even counting up the number
of votes which, they said. would be shifted
on account of it,
More conservative cemmentorS merely
gave il as their opinion that the reinstate-
ment of the men after charges of more
or less serious nature had been made
against them would hardly tend to the ef-
ficiency Of the police department., and
might in fact. tend to subvert authority.
As politics are now in an active state
it wiz not be long before the politicians
win have the opportunity of seeing their
predictions verified or proved untrue.

Always On Time.

One of the most famous preachers OF
the last generation, in a sermon addressed
to his flock on the subject of punctuality,
stated in effect that if everything in the
world was as pUuctual as the trains on
the Lackawanna Railroad, there would be
no trouble on this score. This was more
than twenty years ago, and the Lacka-
wanna trains then had been running for
more than a quarter of century. It's
record for punctuahty, thus established
during the first twenty-five years of its
existence, has been maintained up 10 the
present time. 1t advertses that it is al
wavs on time" and those best acquainted
with its history are willing to swear to
the correctness of this statement-ad

HAVE THREE UNIONS.
Tampa Cigar Makers Make Things
Lively for Each Other.

Lively for Each other.
Mayor Myers has returned from Tampa
where ne spent a day or two looking after
his large cigar manufacturing interests
There was inciplent strike in one OF
the factories of his company, but 1t did
not amount to much.
There is a queer state of affairs among
the employees of the cigar manufacturers
at Tampa, Mayor Myers says. There are
three different unions among the opera
tives, and each is at daggers' points with
the other two. The consequence is that
the men of one union will not work in a
factory where men of another union are
employed The result is that oil the en-
ployes of a factory are usually members
of the same union, and If the manager
attempts to introduce men OF another
union there is trouble. The unions are
known as the Cuban, the Spanish and the
American, and as a result Of their an
tagonism TO each other. there is almost al
ways a strike on at some one or more Of
the factories
THE cigarmskers receive such large
wages that they do noa mind striking oc.
casionally," said Mayor Myers.

PR AIsE AND SONGS OF LEE.
Children of Confederacy VIII Listen
to Talk From Judge FalIigant.

a.
A meeting of the Winnie Davis Chapter
of Children of the Confederacy will be
held at Confederate Hall at 10 O'Clock to-
morrow morning. Tomorrow being the
birthday of Washington and a holiday in
the schools, 1t is expected and desired that
the children will take advantage of the
liberty thus afforded them of attending
the meeting, and that they will be present
in large numbers
1t is proposed to make the day COM
memora tive of the virtues, the valor, the
devotion and the public services of Gen.
Robert L. Lee. Judge Robert Fallgant
mas accepted an invitation TO address the
children on this fertile subject, and those
who attend, the older ones as well as the
young, may be assured of such reverent
and eloquent handling of the life and
deeds of Gen. Lee as opportunity is rare
ly afforded 10 hear.
Besides the talk by Judge Falligant
there will be a programme of recitations
and song, in which the children them
selves will participate. The primary idea,
of course, is TO give the little ones some
adequate conception of the career of the
great chieftain of the Confederacy, but
it is hoped 50 TO combine pleasure with
instruction that they will be entertained
even while they are being taught.
Miss Addie Barnard, diTeotress of the
chapter, urges those of the children who
have not yet turned in their applica ton
blanks, filled out with the record of the
ancestor upon which they base their claims
10 membership, to do SO at the meeting
Tomorrow so that they may be filed. Some
of the children have also been a trihe slow
in the payment of their dues, and it is
hoped that this oversight will also be rem
edied
