SCREVEN A CANDIDATE.
Makes Public and Positive An
nouncemeut,

you may state positively that l am
candidate for Ordinary of Chatham coun-
ty to fill the unexpired term caused by
the death Of Judge Hampton Ferrill, and
that l will be in the contest until the
last ballot is counted" Superintendent Of
Police Thomas Screven made this state
ment 10 a representative of the Morn
ing News yesterday
From now until the day of the election
the night will be warm and interesting.
Major SCreven is the first candidate to
publicly announce himself and his
friends are working hard in his behalf.
The Superintendent of Police said that he
does not propose to withdraw, but VIII
make fight for the Office and hopes to
be elected Clubs are being organized in
his interest and he will be Endorsed by
several organizations during the week.
While the other gentlemen-who have
been named in connection with the office
of ordinary have made no public an
nouncements their friends are active ad
before the close of the week It is likely
that all of the candidates will be an
nounced.
1t is not believed that the meeting of
the executive committee to be held Fri
day night in abe city court room, will
last great while and il is predicted that
a majority of the committee VIII vote
against a primary. Those who so ardent
ly worked for the primary plan appear
20 have become lukewarm. 1t IS generally
believed that there would be opposition
at the regular election even If the prim-
airy were held, and ia seems that the ma
jority/of the committee now favors a free
for-all in the open.
In the event of the election of Major
screven. Senior Sergeant owen Reilly's
friends will push him for Superintendent
force will send a letter to council urging
the election of Sergeant Reilly should
Major Screven be successful in his con-
test. The letter will recommend that one
of the sergeants be advanced and that
one of the men in ranks be placed on
the force of sergeants. This would mean
promotion all along the line. Sergeant
Reilly has been on the police force for a
long while and started as a patrolman.
He never actively aligned himself with
either faction in politics and worked him
self to the front ranks by his efficient
service in the department
The names of Magistrate Michael
Naughtin. Ex-Chief Frank McDermott
and Mr. Charley Garfunkel are still be-
ing mentioned in this connection Should
Judge Naughtin land there would have
to be an election for magistrate of the
third district and another hot fight would
be precipitated Justice Naughtin Will be
strong factor in the race for Superin-
tendent of Police If Major Screven is
elected.

Gales, muslns, dress Innings, dress goods,
silks, White goods, faces, embroidery tow
cling. table linen, yard draperies, velours
carpets, and other piece goods, which he
was able to purchase through this syndi-
cate from the mills at such prices as will
make the sale a remarkable one.
These Mill End sales have been inau-
gurated in the North and West short
time with wonderful success, and Savan-
nah is the first Southern city 10 put one
on. Mr.. Adler said.
Mr.. Adler expects a great rush when
the doors are opened tomorrow morning,

want to be served at once. Looking to
the accommodation of all he will put on
help to meet it. Col. Dyer. who has man.
aged the sales for all of the largest houses

sale. and proposes to make II an enjoy
able affair, aside from making it a profita-
bic affair for buyers.
Mr.. Adler said he proposed to cut down
the prices on all remnants in his store
to conform to the prices which will be
inaugurated by the Mill End sales

KINDERGARTEN SCHOOLS.
Col. George A. Mercer Addressed the
kindergartDer on Their work.


Kindergartners on Their Work.
Col. George A Mercer addressed the
kindergarten teachers of this city yester-
day afternoon upon their work. There
were twenty-o ne young ladies in his au-
dience, and they listened with the closest
attention.
The first question Col. Mercer consider
ed was, rs it well to begin the education
of children so young" This he answered
by saying that in his opinion such edu-
cation could not be begun too soon. All
children, he continued, are born with the
instincts of the savage; they will tell
stories, take the property of their play
mates and commit acts of cruelty. The
suppression of these instincts should be
begun at once.
OF the kindergarten school, he said, the
greatest merit is that it brings out what
is in the child; while another valuable
feature is that it is physical as well as
mental education.
The speaker laid special stress on the
physical work for without such exer-
else, he said, the children, particularly
girls, will not be healthy. Many OF these
girls are fitting themselves for the posi-
ton of teacher and as comliness is
great factor in this work and is produced
in q large measure by good health, which
is, in turn dependent on exercise, this
desired result will be attained by the
kindergarten system.
Col Mercer closed his address by com
pairing each of these little children to
kite, which though fully equipped for fly
ing must lie on the ground until Launched
in the air by some kindly hand. But af-
ter being launched he said. who can tell
how high in the air they will rise or how
high above the earth these children will
soar in thought and accomplishment.
Col Mercer is very much in favor or
the kindergarten system, and thinks that
as soon as the state can afford to make it
a part of the public school course, it will
do

Device For Cleaning Gloves.

At some of the stores small squares
of rubber may be bought intended
for use in erasing spots from white
gloves. Though the silk gloves are
by far more fashionable this season,
the truth is that not every woman
can accustom herself to the peculiar
creepiness of the silken fingers. OF
course, that is matter of nerves,
but the fact remains that silk
gloves are Gravity things. AS to the
best way OF cleaning white kid
gloves use wide-mouthed bottle
with gasoline. If you pour the
gasoline on towel and try to wash
the gloves in it the gasoline is likely
to evaporate more rapidly than it
cleanses. But put it and the gloves
in the bottle, insert the stopper and
shake while the cleansing process
goes on. II the gloves are not very
soiled the same amount Of gasoline
will answer for number OF pairs
and can, in fact, be used until its
color is such as to prove its useful
ness is over. If you have no bottle
that will serve the purpose an or
binary fruit can is just as good, pro-
vided the top fits closely.-Ex-
