WILL BOND EMPLOYEES.
Surety VIII BE Demanded of Those
of Treasurer's ONCE.


of Treasurer's Office.
A meeting of the Finance Commit
tee of the City Council was held yes
terday morning at the City Exchange
when it was decided to introduce a res
olutiOn at the next meeting of the
board, calling for the bonding of the
employees of the city treasurer's office
The city treasurer is already bonded,
his bond being $4,000, but there has
never been any surety required from
the employees of the office.
The action of the committee, Chair
man Dixon said. did not grow out of
any trouble that has ever been expe-
rienced in the office, but it was mere
ly regarded as a necessary precaution
for the city's protection. 1t will ap-
ply to the present and all future city
employees who work in the treasurer's
office.
Capt. G.. B. Pritchard, Mr.. A. G.
Bell and Mr.. H. S. Dreese will each be
required to give surety in the sum Of
$4,000, while the porter will be bonded
at $1,000. Only the treasurer can sign
checks that are recognized as a draft
upon city funds, so the bonds are not
made nearly so large as that officials.

Splendid Real Estate.

On October first those lots lying be-
tween Price and East Broad street and
being on Bolton, Waldburg, Park ave-
nue., Duffy, Henry and Anderson
streets, will be for sale. This an
nouncement is made so that you may
have ample time to pick out the lots
you want and inform yourself az to
their value. Just make up your mind
as to what you are willing to give for
them because when 1 start to sell, !
mean to sell quick.
Remember this is the only place in
the old limits North of Anderson and
West of East Broad where you can
get half a dozen lots together at any
price.
1t is the most desirable place to build
because you can afford to rent for $40
to $50 a month; and they are the kind
that are in demand, and pay better
than any other sort.
The last sales in this vicinity was a
block on Bolton street. between Haber-
sham and Price, (half a block from
these lots) and some of them brought
over $1,000. We will turn these lose
for half that price.
Specially attractive terms will be
made to any individual or syndicate
that will take a block or more. This
is a good chance to buy something you
can sell next spring at a big profit.
You can pay ten per cent. cash of the
price agreed on and ten per cent. a
year with per cent. interest. Send
for map. John L. Archer, 10 Provi-
dent Building.
N. B.-There are some first class
business corners on East Broad street,
and they have frontage of forty feet.

THEY TILTED IN CAMP.
Liberty Independent Troop Got I'm
Practice at Half Moon.

Liberty Independent Troop Got I'm
Practice at Half Moon.
The Liberty Independent Troop will
enter three teams in the tilt to be held
during the State Fair for the cavalry
of Georgia. The troop has concluded
it's third annual encampment, held at
Half Moon, ColonePs Island, and some
excellent practice in fitting and at
the butts with carbines, was had by
the command during it's stay in camp.
Capt. A. Gordon Cassels was in COM
mand of the troop for two of the three
days of the encampment. He was
then called away by news of the illness
of his little child.
Some thirty of the members of the
troop and about twenty-five ladies
were at the encampment, which was
greatly enjoyed. Such outings serve
to maintain a keen interest in a mill
tary command, and the effect will be
noticeable in the Liberty troop. The
time was fixed for just season when
both merchants and farmers could con-
veniently get away from their busi-
ness.
Capt. Cassels is greatly interested in
the tilt that is to be held during the
State Fair, and he hopes that all the
cavalry troops of the state will enter
teams. He has learned that, besides
the three teams from his command,
there will be teams entered, positively
by the bingham Hussars, the Georgia
Hussars, the Wayne Troop and the
Liberty Guards. 1t is probable that
other troops will also be represented
as attractive prizes are offered.

Frank Demere. a we'll known East
Side negro, was arrested yesterday by
Detective Wall as an escaped convict,
and also on a charge of robbing the
room of chain-gang guard. Demere
has been at liberty several months, and
most of the time was in South Caro-
lima.
The negro was sent to the chain-gans
for stealing a turkey, and served sew
eral weeks of his sentence. When he
decided to leave the reservation he Wis
tied the room occupied by one of the
guards, and cleaned it out. Demere
then went to Beaufort where he is said
to have gotten into row with another
negro. and narrowly escaped death. He
was struck in the head with a heavy
rock, and fingered for several days.
The negro who committed the assault
had also escaped from the chain gang
here. and was arrested at Wilmington
Island for the murder of Demere, II
having been reported that the Savan-
nah negro's wound had terminated IA
tally. Demere is known to the police
as tough citizen, and has been SEN
fenced on a number of occasions.

OF the ten indictments returned by
the grand jury at its session Friday
afternoon only one of the defendants es-
capped arrest. w. c. Groves, who is
charged with selling liquor on Sunday,

GOLF LINKS IN FINE FORM.
Outlook That the Game Will BE Ex-
ceptiona1Iy Popular This Year.

OuNlOOk INIT Nne uame VIII ne 6G-
ceptionally Popular This Year.
The stay-at home golfers this sum-
mer have enjoyed a treat In playing
over the links of the Savannah Golf
Club, which are now in splendid con-
dition and have been so for the entire
summer. The grass is growing beauti-
fully on the fair green, and cuppy-lie
is an exceptional thing. The putting
greens, too. are in splendid condition
and in great contrast to the stubby
greens that some of the players have
been accustomed to-
There have been several devotees to
the game, who, Notwithstanding the
heat, have gone over the links several
times each week. Now that manY Of
the club members are returning to the
city it is expected that a great man y
more players will go out in the after
noon, and that the links on Saturdays
will be more than usually crowded.
The club is growing in popularity
each season, and it is thought that
many new members will be added this
winter. So great is the gro ting inter-
est in golf that a movement is on foot
to form an inter-city league, that will
include teams from Charleston and the
chief Georgia cities. There is no ques-
ton that in such contests the Savan-
nahians will be able to make an excel
lent showing.
The captain of the Savannah Clubs
team for this year is Mr.. Noble A..
Hardee, an excellent choice, as Mr..
Hardee is one of the best players in
the club. 1t is expected that during
the coming season the club will be Wis
tied by many of the best golfers in
IVY he Ind 20
stay over a day or two while on their
way to and from the Florida links.
Such visitors are always welcome, as
they gave the members of the local club
an excellent opportunity of seeing high
class golf.

DRAG HUNT TALKED OF.
The President of the Chatham Hunt
Club May Put on One This FaII.

The President of the Chatham Hunt
Club May Put on One This Fall.
Mr.. Paul T. Haskell returned yester-
day from Tate Springs, where he spent
a few weeks. During his stay he was
fortunate enough to get into several
red fox chases. Mr.. Haskell has many
good things to say about the hounds
up state. They go to kill.
The foxes are long-legged. long wind
ed, terrific runners, and in spite of fast
dogs often trot across two counties
before they go to cover or before they
are taken.
AS president of the Chatham Hunt
Club, Mr.. Haskell never approved a
drag hunt. He delights to see the pack
stretched out in hot pursuit of a liv-
ing, flying fox.
For his benefit a party of ladies and
gentlemen got up drag hunt. 1t was
so pronounced a success that he con-
fesses that he has changed his opinion,
and it is not unlikely. when the days
grow short and the weather gets cold
and foxes become scarce here, a drag
hunt may be inaugurated.

Years-The Educational Appropri-

The County Commissioners have
changed the form of the budget of
county expenses upon which the rate
of taxation is fixed, and the items of
expense appear in abbreviated form.
There are only ten departments en-
braced in the new levy. although each
department has several sub-heads. The
expenditures that go to make UP the
total in each department. the commits
sioners will not give out.
At the special meeting of the board
Thursday the budget was condensed.
and changes were made in the figures.
Several appropriations were increased
and several were cut down. Just what
happened to the budget submitted to
the grand jury earlier in the year is
not known. 1t was turned upside
down, and when 1t came out of the
commissioners room It had been so
switched and cut that there was no
way to compare with the previous
years budget. The form in which
the commissioners gave the revised
figures to the public is as follows:
