TO TALK WITH OFFICERS.
Col. Canu WANTS Their Help in Ar
ranging for Rifle Contests.


There will be meeting o. the Of
| flcers of the military commands. of the
city at o'clock tomorrow afternoon to
consider and discuss with Col George
7. Cam, the state inspector general of
rifle practice, time and plans for hold
ing the annual rifle and carbine con-
tests for Georgia state troops.
Col. Cam has sent out invitations to
all the officers of the city to attend this
meeting, which will be held at the law
offices of CT. T. & J. f. Cam, 20 Bryan
street, east. There will probably be a
large attendance and plans for holding
the contests will be thoroughly dis
cussed. The contests were inaugurated
last year and the first was so complete
success that Col. Cam is anxious
that this years should be even better
and more satisfactory in every way
In this wish he has the sympathy, and
to advance it will have the active CO.
operation of all the officers of the Sa-
Vanuah commands.
There are number of things which
he wishes to discuss with the officers,
the first being the date for holding the
contests. The decision as to this is
wavering now between Sept. 13 and IA
and Sept Is and 10. 1t will require
two days to complete the contests and
either of the dates mentioned would,
1t is thought, prove generally accepta-
BILE.
1t is necessary also that Col. Cam
should ask and receive the assistance
of his brother officers in arranging the
preliminary details for holding the con-
tests. He is now both ordinary of the
county and county attorney and the
duties of these Offices require most of
his time for their discharge. 1t would
be impossible, he thinks, for him to
take as much time from the duties he
owes the public as he was willing to
do when, as last year, only his private
practice was involved, and he feels
that he must call on Savannah officers
for help in this matter. So far as TINS
is concerned, there is no reason to
doubt that all the assistance he needs
will be readily and cheerfully accorded.
In addition there are some expenses
attendant upon the contests for which
the state appropriation makes no pro-
vision and arrangements to meet these
will have to be made.
The DeRenne and De Soto trophies,
both of which were contested for at
the last rifle contests at Avondale, and
some Others are controlled by the Sa-
Vannan Military hlHe lNdnse AsSOSio
ton, which is composed of the officers
of the city. This association will have
to decide whether these trophies shall
be offered to the winners in the con-
tests of this year.
Col. Cam himself believes that Sept.
Is and IA would be the best time at
which the contests could be held, as
then the attendance of greater num-
Der of teams from all over the state
could, in his opinion. be secured. He
has already received many letters from
commanding officers of regiments and
companies, in which they assure him
of their intention to be represented.
The indications all are the contests
will induce the attendance of very
large number of teams and result in
great good and marked improvement
to the Workmanship of the state
troops.

plan of Free transportation
where stnted Amount of Pur-
chases Is Made.
The wholesale merchants of Savan-
nah, representing every branch of the
wholesale trade, will be asked to meet
in the parlors of the Screven House
at o'clock tomorrow afternoon. for
the purpose of considering and adopt
ing plans which will bring the mer-
chants in the towns tributary to Sa-
vannah in closer touch with the inter-
ests and make them better acquainted
with the advantages of this city.
A meeting of a committee of the
wholesalers was held last night at the
residence of Mr.. S. Krouskoff, at Aber-
corn and Thirty seventh streets. In
addition to Mr.. Krouskoff, who acted
as chairman of the meeting. there were
present Messrs. Rosenheim, w. L.
Cirayson, Max Solomons, L. Schwarz-
baum and Charles Marks.
The committee discussed informally
a number of plans for bringing the
country merchants to Savannah and
interesting them in the welfare of the
city. The wholesale markets in Sa-
vannah are as good as the country mer-
chants can find anywhere in the North
and the wholesalers want their friends
in the country to become impressed
with this fact. The committee thought
association. in which all lines of the
trade would be represented, and to this
end decided to call a meeting for to-
morrow afternoon.
The only plan 1t was decided definite
ly to recommend was that discussed
some weeks ago, by which the country
merchant who comes to Savannah and
makes purchases from any member or
members of the wholesalers association
to the amount of $500 will have his
fare to the city and return paid for
him by the association. 1t is hoped to
SCI thC PNoNC Il Oil <ASoOCldtlOii
ed in this enterprise and to assume
direction of its advertising. 1t is real
lied that the Fair Association can
reach more of the merchants in the
small cities and towns of the state than
could any other agency, and it is hoped
that the inducement of free transpor-
tation will bring the merchants here to
see the fair and to make purchases at
the same time.
The call for the meeting will be is
sued by the committee to-day, and it is
representative merchants who will take
an active interest in the plan.

WANT TO GET AT EACH OTHER.
Bennett and DAILY Are Ready to Ar
range Another Match.

Bennett ana Daly Are Heauy 10 At
range Another Match.
1t is quite probable that Jack Ben
nett and Jack Daily viii be matched to
fight again in Savannah at a very
early date. and the men, with their
managers, will meet at 5 o'clock to-
night in Charles Levan's place to ar
range for the bout. Bennett feels that
he can knock Days head off, and DAILY
is of the opinion that he can put Ben
nett to sleep with few stiff punches.
Frank Hart, manager for Bennett,
stated last night that his man is ar1x-
ious to take tumble out of DAILY, and
is willing to put up side bet of ST.
900. He says that he is not four-dush-
ing, but means business, and that
money talks. Bennett is sore at his
treatment Monday night, and says that
he can trim Daily in any sort of fight,
and at any stage of the game He
says that he is ready to back his opin-
ion with any sum suitable to the lad
from Wilmington, and that it will not
be his fault if a lively bout is not
pulled off in the very near future.
AL McMurray will be on hand with
DAILY, and says that he will go prepared
to make a match. DAILY says that he
is anxious to get back at Bennett, and
believes that he can put him out of
business in short order. He is willing
to put up the long green, and take
a chance at putting the man from
Pennsylvania under his belt He admits
that he does not love Bennett, and that
the fight would be hot from the sound
of the gong until one man Topped to
the mat. Daily says that Bennett may
think that he has a cinch, but that
he is certain that he will be able to
take the wind out of his sails. 1t is
quite probable that the men will be
matched without a great deal of
trouble.
Bennett and Corcoran.
Jack Bennett and Tom Corcoran will
do an exhibition six rounds at Gildea's
Alhambra Music Hall tonight, and at
that time the result of the meeting at
Levan's will be announced Corcoran
was in Benefits corner Monday night
and sized the Pennsylvania man up as
a live one then. Corcoran is nervy
individual when 1t comes to donning
the mits, and says that there is no
man on earth that he would not go up
against, if there are no strings tied to
a purse. The Savannah lad can fight
good and plenty, too, and has never
been known to show the white feather.
His exhibition bout this evening prom
ises to be interesting, and a match may
be arranged between the men later
Bennett will come up from Tybee to
make the match with DAILY, and box
with the East Side lad.

DEMERE DID NOT DIE.
Escaped Convict Taken TO south
Carolina Yesterday by Officers.

Caroitna Nesterday by Officers.
Addison Lindsay, a colored lad who
escaped from the changing in 1899, and
who was arrested on Wilmington ISL
and last Sunday on a charge of muir
der at Daufuskie, was taken to South
Carolina by a constable yesterday
morning.
Lindsay struck a negro named Frank
Demere, who also escaped from the
county changing, in the head with a
rock. and it was reported here that the
injured negro died. 1t appears, how
ever, that Demere was only stunned
and that he has recovered. Lindsay Is
charged with assault with intent to
murder, although he claims that he
acted in self-defense.
He AYERS that Demere was advancing
upon him with an open knife when he
hurled the rock with deadly force.
Lindsay did not wait to see how bad he
had injured the other negro, and left
at once for Wilmington Island, where
he secured employment at the oyster
factory. In the event that he is not
convicted on the charge entered against
him by the South Carolina authorities
he will be returned to the county au-
thorities. and tried for escaping from
the changing, where he was sent for
larceny.

NOT ALL NEW COTTON.
Cotton Exchange Report on Geor-
Eia's First Bale.

The first bale of new Georgia cotton
was received at the Savannah Cotton
Exchange yesterday by Mr. e. A.
Cults. The committee on classification
believed the bale contained some old
cotton, however, and for this reason
they did not officially certify to 1t as
the bale of the new crop. The COM
mittee's report is as follows:
1--WE find the bale to consist of old
and new cotton mixed, CHASING about
barely middling, more or less dis
colored, gin cut and damp. We do not
consider ii bale of entirely new crop
cotton" The report is signed by W. X.

AS previously stated in the Morning

ton there was a difference of opinion
as to its containing old cotton. OF
