School Will Not Be Started on Ressr-
walton This Year.

Emporia, Kan, Aug. Last year
the state gave the old Fort Nays mili-
tary reservation to the Normal regents
for the purpose of starting a branch
normal school. Many of the old build
ings are still standing. and it was the
intention of the regents to repair these
and open school there this fall
President J. n. Wilkinson, when seen
today, said in reply to a question that
no teachers had as yet been employed
and the board was in no hurry to press
matters as it was quite immaterial to
them when the school started although
OF course the sooner the better for all
concerned. He said the matter viii go
to the land department at Washington.
and the attorneys on both sides say it
can be settled by next month, If all
goes well This. however, would not
leave much time for the ''sooners' to
Vacate and to have the buildings re-
paired. so it has been wisely decided to
wait another year before starting the

of r. NJ. Chilcott's fight on B. Fl.
Tracy's appointment as United States
district attorney, brought about a
clash between State Treasurer Frank
Grimes and Leland today. The intima-
tions have been floating in the air for
several days and finally got into print.
Grimes changed cars at the Kansas
City union depot Tuesday morning,
coming in from his trip to Wichita
county. This morning the Kansas City
Journal mentioned the fact in a half
dozen lines, and said: Grimes thinks
that Cyrus Leland is responsible for
the president holding up the appoint
ment of B. H. Tracy as United States
attorney for Kansas. He says, how
ever, that Senator Burton will soon
straighten things out, and that Tracy
will get his job shortly"
Leland called Grimes to account for
the alleged declaration by telephone
this morning.
What did you do that for2" asked
Leland.
Where are you2' returned Grimes.
AT 9O8, the Office of Tracy to- be, -
Cy replied He was in the United
States district attorneys office at the
time.
Grimes caused pause in the CONVEX
sation to look up the squib referred to.
He denied it. and said he saw no one
in Kansas City during the Is minutes
he was there, to talk to.
Tell that to the State Journal re-
porter commanded Leland, and then
added the def Tell him anything you
got that says I have been instigating
the fight on Tracy. Whatever you
know, out with itI''
Grimes refused to take up the def
when seen by the State Journal re-
porter He made his statement deny
ing that he had been interviewed by
any Kansas City reporter. L was in
Kansas City only 25 minutes" he said.
I had my two children with me, and
we hurried to get breakfast at a res
taurant- / never saw a reporter. The
only person saw at the depot was the
daughter of a Topeka friend, who came
up on the same train on a visit to her
parents. I remarked the fact that there
was no one at the depot whom knew.
I always see some one that know. and
that I did not impressed me. The
staten ent in the paper is a fake"
Mr.. Grimes would not discuss who
was responsible for the runOrs and
statements that Leland's fine Italian
hand was seen in the fight on Tracy
He became indignant that there was a
conspiracy, and questioned motives IL
being so "catecnized." He was backing
water on any attempt to be drawn into
a controversy.
Did you tell anyone that Leland
was responsible for the Tracy dght?"
was asked.
Now you're getting gay!" he re-
joined heatedly-
Senator Burton is in Washington to
get the tangle Strengthened out Mr..
Grimes said today that the matter was
all settled, and that Tracy would re-
ceive his commission very soon. He re-
ceived information from Washington
to this effect, he said
Leland asserts that he has positively
kept out of the Tracy fight. 1T would
be fOolishness for me to mix up in it, -
he says. Il have not written a letter

dent, or any. one. If 1 was in the fight

This old and well established institu-
ton has been in operation in Savannah
for the, past nineteen years, during which
time 1t has probably prepared more
young people for business than any other
institution of a similar character in the
South. A look at the various depart
rnents of the college under able and earn
est instructors is convincing proof 0r its
usefulness.
Starting in small basement room on
Liberty street, opposite the old govern
ment barracks with no capital but push
pluck and industry, it has grown from
the mere handful of students occupying
a single table in the center of a small
basement room into one of the largest
and most prosperous business colleges in
the country, occupying $500 square feet
Of floor space, with numerous handsome
ly equipped business offices, and having
on its rolls some 100 students, many of
whom are from the neighboring states of
Georgia Florida, North and South Caro-
lima, Alabama and Tennessee
The school has recently been incorpor-
ated and The scope of its work broadened
so as to give, in connection with the
commercial and shorthand courses, a
thorough English course to those DESTROYS
OF perfecung themselves in the branches
necessary to make a business education
of value. 1t is now unnecessary for par
ents to send their boys and girls away
from home at great expense, for they
nave. right here at their door, a college
at which they can get as thorough
business and shorthand course as 1t is
possible 20 secure anywhere in the coun-
try, and at as reasonable a price The
Richmond Business College has earned an
enviable reputation for conscientious and
faithful work, which has given Il a
standing, not only among business houses
but among the leading colleges through
cut the country, and its graduates can
now be found occupying positions OF
trust and responsibility In almost every
business house in Savannah, as we'll as

DR.. W. e. Quillian, acting for the Mar

able to show evidence of having recently

The steamer Louise from Bluffton and
the steamer Pilot Boy from Charleston
Beaufort and other points were both

Louise had a crew of eight and twenty

cination, and it caused a delay of one
hour
Aboard the Pilot Boy were a crew of
fourteen and twenty-four passengers.
Only a 2-year-old baby, asleep at the
time, escaped being vaccinated. In the
general excitement of the boarding and
the vaccination, the baby was overlooked

Capt. Frank d. Philips, came over from
Charleston by rail, therefore, escaped the

is improbable that the quarantine will
be speedily raised
A young lady from Beaufort aboard the
boat was vaccinated, despite her vigorod Us
protests. Only three weeks ago she was
vaccinated, and the mark upon her arm
had just healed. The explanation was not
accepted, however, and she, too had to
feel the sting of the point Another pas

LEFT WITH STOCKHOLDERS.
Nominating Committee of the Fair
Will Receive Suggestions.

The committee from the State Fair AS
sociation appointed to nominate fifteen
directors held a meeting yesterday
afternoon. MIR George W. Owens, Mr..
b. H. Levy. Mr.. L. w. Neeson, Mr.. Rob
ert NJ. Hicks and Mr.. Charles Garfun-
KEEL comprise the committee.
1t is the desire of the committee that
the stockholders have a voice in the nom
ination of the directors. The report of
the committee is to be made to the
stockholders at a meeting next Thurs
day afternoon, but the members of the
committee want all who have subscribed
to stock to be given a chance in suggest
ing names to the meeting.
An agreement was reached. to have the
Morning News request that all stock
holders hand in in writing to the secre-
tary, Mr.. l.. w. Neeson, or leave at the
Office of the Mayor, the names of any
gentlemen they may regard as desirable
directors for the Fair Association. All
such suggestions will be given due re-
gard by the committee in making up the
report.
Another meeting of the committee will
be held next Tuesday afternoon, when
the report Will PROBABLY De Indue up Ill
the meantime the secretary will en-
deavor to secure a complete list of sub
scfibers. Chairmen of soliciting commit
tees will assist in this by sending lists.
Maj G. NJ Ryals. in discussing the fair
yesterday, called attention to the fact that
the extensive manufactures of agricul-
tural and mechanical implements had
been overlooked in making UP the COM
mittees that were to wait upon representa-
tives of various industries and pursuits
for the purpose of securing subscriptions
Maj. Ryals believes that, as the fair Is
to be agricultural and mechanical, the
manufacturers would be glad of an OPP
portunity to take stock in the association,
as chance would be afforded for the
advertisement of their goods.
From all over the state Maj. Ryals said,
he is daily receiving inquiries from per-
sons interested in the fair. They are
seeking information as 10 what is being
done. The progress that is being male
will soon admit of satisfactory replies be-
ing given them.
