and Shipping.
Owing to the holiday spirit which pre-
vailed along the river front yesterday
work was shut down in many quarters.
1t is a difficult matter to get the aver
age wharf laborer to toll on holidays or
Sunday. In case of an accident to one
of gang az work on a Sunday the whole
knock off, on the ground that Providence
visited them with the mishap because of
their Decorating the Sabbath.
Preparations are being made at the
Southern Transportation Company's dock
to begin work on the new steamer w. S.
Cook. She was tied up alongside the other
boats there. She will probably be tied
alongside the dock, and the freight for
the other boats transferred from the
wharf over the new boat.

Fine wines and LIQUORS.

1t is we'll to know that there is an
institution in our city, Savannah, Ga.
where the finest wines and liquors can
be had. Lippman Bros, of this city,
import their Scotch and Irish WHISTLES
from Kirker Greer & Co., of Belfast,
Ireland, and Glasgow, Scotland. They
import their fine Rhine and Mozelle
wines from Frankfort, Germany. Their
fine French clarets and fine French
cognac brandies all from Bordeaux,
France. They also import their lime
juice from Leath Scotland. Anybody
can make an advertisement like the
above, but we can substantiate what
we say, by telling our customers and
friends to apply to the United States
Custom House of this city, where they
will find all the goods in bond import
ed from these countries the property
of Lippman Bros.
We want to get the best trade on
these goods, and therefore shall retail
WHISTLES and liquors in any quantity
desired for our customers
O. v. H. Scotch whisky has been IN
bond in this city for over three years,
and was ten years old before 1t came
here. 1t is a rare Scotch whisky, and
probably nothing like it to be had in
the South. Lippman Bros, agents for
the distilleries and vineyards, Savan-
nah, Ga.-ad.

up by Wednesdays tremendous down.
pour that it is impossible for trains
to get through,
II have been up at the Tallulah Falls
Exposition" said the congressman to
a Morning News man. "They have a
splendid display there of the resources
OF that section, and it is attracting a
great deal of attention. The exhibit
of the minerals, the hard woods, and
the other resources of that section is
something remarka BILE. 1t is an eye
opener for Georgia1s from other Sec
tions of the state, and will result in
great deal of good in drawing atten-
ton to the opportunities for develop
ment there. If the effort to extend the
railroad from Tallulah Falls north
ward into Macon county, North Caro-
lima, is successful, the result will be
great development throughout all that
section
Congressman Brantley remarked In
cidentally that the Tallulah Falls peo-
pie had been very successful in draw
ing the political leaders of the state to
their exhibit They have had the
Governor. most of the State House
officers, congressman. judges and other
leading citizens, and have made a good
impression on all.

WERE MANY WASH0UTS.
Southern SouthbOund Trains Hand
led via Montgomery.

The tropical storm. the center of
which passed through the middle and
northern parts of the state night before
last, caused a number of washouts
along the railroad tracks. with the re-
suit that nearly all trains entering Sa-
vannah from the North, with the ex-
ception of those of the Plant System,
were late, some but few minutes,
others several hours, while others are
still tied up and unable to get through
at all.
The Seaboard Air Line Railway
seems to have been the worst dam
aged. Washouts on it's line are re-
ported in the vicinity of Americas and
also to the west of that city, between
it and Omaha, Ala. There have been
no accidents as the results of these
washouts, and it is expected to have
the breaks repaired and the trains
again on schedule by noon to-day.
There is a washout on the Southern
between Jesup and Macon, and all
southbound trains on that line are bad
ing handled from Atlanta to Mont
gomery, via the Atlanta and West
Point, and from Montgomery by the
Plant System.
The washouts on the Central are in
the neighborhood of .Davisboro, and
possibly some other and smaller ones
at other points along the line. They
interfered but little with the schedule
yesterday and 1t was expected that
they would all be repaired by last
night. Gen. Supt. Kline left on a
special yesterday at o'clock for a
trip over the road.

Collins Answers Some of the Crit

AIpin Meeting and Promises nm
Answer to the Others mt the Next
Gathering of His Supporters.
1.-The prize package of Mr.. Killorin,"
said Mr.. ]. S. Collins yesterday, has
turned out to be a blank. There's moth
ing in it, ~ '"~e~ 'A''
Then Mr.. Collins displayed and read
the following affidavit;
Before me, the undersigned, a not

statement in the Morning News of Sept.
10, 1901, as regards Mr.. ]. S. Collins

lating any price. The statement he
signed at Mr.. John Grimm's, in the
presence of Capt. Henry McAlpin and
Mr.. Constantine. was not read to him
in the way it was published in the
Morning News, and that he, McAlpin
and others were drinking at the place.
wv. J. Walker.
"Signed, sworn to and subscribed in
my presence, this 10th day of Septem-
ber 1901. Thomas P. Reynolds,
Notary Public, c. c., Ga"
Mr.. Collins was being asked what he
had to say in answer to the criticisms
upon his personal and official life that
had been passed in the McAlpin meet
ing of Wednesday night.
Every statement made in that
meeting" said Mr.. Collins, will be
answered at the proper time and in the
proper place. All / have to say now
is that Envy loves a shining mark.
and that these criticisms have been
directed against me because I am the
man Capt. McAlpin fears in the race.
There really has been nothing to
answer. You know there are such
things as sprouts and that is the
term l should use in describing some
of the young gentlemen who spoke at
the McAlpin meeting the other night.
I'm not going to be harsh about them,
but they ought to grow awhile before
they undertake to open their mouths.
THE people of Savannah know me
and my record in this community.
They know / am the last man to pro-
woke a row or to get in a street fight
with any citizen. l will avoid such a
conflict as long as l consistently can
1 don't believe anybody thinks he can
run over me with comfort and safety,
and If there is such a man in the city
1 am willing to try to convince him
he is in very grave error at any time
and place."
Readers of the Moning News. will
remember that at the McAlpin meet
ing Mr.. Collins was very severely and
very variously criticized. The speak
ers said all sorts of things about him.
The affidavit printed in this article
makes up one part of his answer 10
these structures, and his remarks on the
subject of personal difficulties another.
Mr.. Collins says that an answer to all
the other criticisms will be forthcom-
ing at the next. meeting of his sup-
porters.

MAXIMUM WENT LOW.
Drop I'm Temperature Yesterday
Brought Out Thicker Clothes.


Brought Out Thicker Clothes.
The maximum temperature yester-
day, 20 degrees, is the lowest that has
been registered in September in years.
The minimum, 81 degrees. also is un-
usually low, and gives to the day d
mean temperature of but 66 degrees, 2
lower than the normal This reduced
the excess of heat for the month, thus
far, to 40 degrees and increases the
deficit of the year to 1903. There was but
a trace of rain yesterday. The month
now shows shortage of 2.92 inches,
and the year a shortage of 7.90.
The lowest maximum of last Septem-
Der was so degrees. 1t occurred on the
18th, while the lowest minimum was
63 degrees occurring the day before.
For the September of the year before
the lowest maximum was 70 degrees,
registered on the 18th, and the lowest
minimum SO, reported on the 9th.
The weather yesterday had a decided
tinge of autumn in it. and not few
people. particularly in the late after
noon. found clothes heavier than the
summer goods not only more comforta-
BILE but an absolute necessity. Hotel
guests felt the change, too, and the
clerks had lively demand for blankets

last night.

ORDINANCE A SURPRISE.
But Plan to Separate Races on Cars
Meets With Approval.

The ordinance providing for separa-
ton of the races in the street cars,
which was introduced at Wednesday
nights meeting of Council, as announc-
ed in yesterdays Morning News, nat
urally caused a great deal of discus
sion. Although such action by Coun-
Gil has been advocated at various
never taken definite shape, and the an
nouncement of the introduction OF such
an ordinance undoubtedly came as a
surprise to the mass of the readers of
the Morning News.
A little inquiry yesterday developed
the fact that the ordinance was also
something of a surprise to the alder
men. The matter has never been dis
cussed, 1t seems, either in Council or
in Committee of the Whole, and when
the ordinance was submitted in the
meeting of the committee it was scme-
thing entirely new to those present,
with the exception of the member who
presented it. 1t was by the latter re-
quest that the ordinance was fathere
by the committee, and it was In This
way that the ordinance was introduced
in Council with the appearance OF nav
ing been fathered by the COMMITTEES
of the Whole. Such was not the case,
however, as the ordinance has not yet
been considered or discussed in any
way. :,
Il have not yet read the ordinance,
said Mayor Myers, when seen ABOUT
the matter yesterday, land am not pre-
pared to discuss the question. The ordi-
nance was not read in the Committee
of the Whole. While this matter has
not been taken under advisement by
Council heretofore, there is undoubted-
ly strong sentiment in favor of some
legislation of this sort, and | should
not be surprised to see the ordinance
or something similar to 1t adopted by
Council. l understand that the ordi-
nance is very similar to the one now
in force in Atlanta"
In Atlanta and Augusta, and prob
ably other cities of the state, ordi-
nances requiring the separation of the
races on the street cars exist and are
enforced. With the exception of one
unfortunate incident in Augusta, this
has been done apparently without fric-
ton. In Atlanta the colored passen-
gers are allotted the two seats but one
from the rear of the car, the rear seat
being reserved for white smokers.
AS the ordinance makes it's provisions
applicable within the jurisdiction linn
its of the city for police purposes, that
is, within two miles of the city limits.
it will be seen that a considerable por-
tion of the suburban lines would be in
Guided also. AS Thunderbolt already
has similar ordinance in force, prac-
tically all travel on that line would
come under the separation ordinance.

DID VERY HEAVY DAMAGE.
Rains Have Hurt the Cotton Crop In
Georgia and Alabama.


Georgia and Alabama.
THAT the cotton crop has been Sc
ricusly damaged by the heavy rains of
Wednesday, there can be no doubt.
Just what the extent of the damage
is cannot be accurately described until
reports are received from the operators
and farmers in the interior"
In these words Mr.. E. A. Cults
summed up the cotton situation yes
terday: 49 .-.-
1.-THE ardent hopes and pleasing an
ticipations of the cotton men here
have been cast down by the rain, and
their forebodings of the results that
Cults. THE crop is just in a condi-
ton to be seriously hurt by heavy
rains, and there is no doubt that in
Western Georgia and Alabama very
great damage has been done. Cotton
was just opening fully, and the plant
ers were making all the haste they
could to gather it. The heavy rains
came at the worst time possible.
''The rains have interfered with the
railroads and telegraph lines as well
as with cotton" said Mr.. Cuts, land
we have had only very meager reports
from our correspondents as to the ex-
tent of the damage that has been done
These reports will come in the course
of the next few days, and that they
will show that the damage has been
very great 1 cannot doubt
Other cotton men, who were asked
their opinion of the subject, expressed
the same opinion of the results of the
rain. The atmosphere among the cot
ton men of Savannah yesterday was
distinctly gloomy. and by all of them
very soinbre apprehensions were enter
tanned They all seemed to think that
there would be a very material falling
off in the crop.
