CANDIDATES walked UP.
state Rules May Govern the Primary
for Ordinary.


The interest in the contest for ordin-
airy centers now in what the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee is likely to
decide upon in rules for a primary
as well as the date. Several members
of the committee are out of the city,
but ii is expected that all here will
attend the meeting in the City Court
room tonight.
1t is believed that at least two sets
of rules will be offered the committee.
and the gathering of the local repre-
sentatives of the party promises to be
interesting All of the candidates say
that they want a fair election, and
that no other sort will do, but Just
what is meant by fair" has never been
explained. Mr.. Walter c. Hartridge is
anxious to have the committee make
some reference to the possible purchas
ing of votes, and to fix a rule govern
ing an evil that has existed in Chat
ham county for some time.
1t is not generally believed that the
committee will be able to reach any
satisfactory conclusion on this line, and
if this phase Of the subject is brought
up the discussion promises to be ami
mated. In his letter to the several
candidates Mr.. Hartridge made the
suggestion that ii might be wise and
proper for the committee to agree to
disqualify any candidate who either
used, or permitted to be used IN his
interest, money for illegitimate pur-
poses. While none of the other candi-
dates oppose the suggestion, it has been
said that such a thing would be totally
impractics BILE.
To make new rules a vote of two
thirds of these present must be OBJ
tanned, and 1t may be that this will
not be tie case. A primary has al
ready been deemed advisable and has
been decided upon. To reconsider its
recent action Il two-thirds' vote. would
have to be shown, and it is not thought
that many of the committeeman oppose
the primary plan. The question of
paying the expenses of a campaign will
also be considered by the committee.
In the event that the committee can
not agree upon a set of rules, now that
the primary is assured. the rules gov
erning a state primary would be in
force. They are considered perfectly
fair, although the question of vote
buying is not taken into consideration.
Under the rules governing state pri-
maries all of the candidates have rep
resentation at each ballot box, and at
all events those who are in the fight
for ordinary at the finish viii have
representation at each box.
The registration list continues to
grow at a rapid rate and forty-two
persons registered yesterday, seven of
whom were negroes. Those who have
neglected to register are being urged by
the several candidates to get their
names on the books and prepare for
the fray. 1t is estimated that there are
some 900 more names on the registra-
ton books than for the last off year.

ACADEMY NEARLY FINISHED.
work on the New building 20 BE
Wound Up Saturday.

Work on the new Chatham Academy
will be finished Saturday, that is, all of
the work except the final touches. In
fact the work is SO nearly finished even
now that some of the rooms are being
cleaned out preparatory to putting the
furniture in place.
Not only has the work on the school
proper been finished, but a good deal of
that outside, such as sewer connections,
etc. Yesterday work was begun on the
sidewalk. which will be granolithic,
and extend from the west end of the
new building on Oglethorpe avenue to
Drayton, and on Drayton to Hull. On
the north side of the building 1t will
be twenty feet wide and on the east
side nine feet. 1t is not improbable
that, later, IL may be decided to ex-
tend the Oglethorpe avenue pavement
to connect with that on Bull street,
and thus give granoithic sidewalk on
three sides of the building. The work
of putting the furniture in place will
be begun, probably. next week.

JURORS WE'RE DIVIDED.
Couldn't Agree on Verdict i'm Runte
Case.

After being out all night, the jury in
the suit of John Runte against 4. H.
Wood was discharged yesterday by
Judge Norwood in the City Court and
a mistrial was declared. The plaintiff
asked for $2O7.05 special damages, but
the question of liability proved a knot
ty one for the jurors.
The plaintiff showed that he had con-
tracted for the use Of certain land west
of the city and near Lincoln ParK, for
an ice cream garden and light refresh
ment booth. 1t was alleged that ne
paid the first months rent, but that
when he went to take possession he
found others in charge. 1t was GIieg-
ed that the amount asked for had been
expended in one way and another in
making preparations to begin business.
The defense was that the property had
passed out of the hands of the defend
ant before the date alleged by Runte
in his petition. Mr.. w. NJ. Hayward
appeared fcr the plaintiff and Mr.. W.
c. Hartrjdge for the defendant.

UNION PRINTERS REMANDED.

tfmidntiop and Assault.

Vulnerable delays. r. f.. Johnson, l..
A. Colllni. James Smith and Alonzo

kins were remanded for trial in the

altogether positive in his Identification
of his assailants.
Alonzo Collini a defendant in the
first case, was also charged with ours
ing a non-union printer named Myers.
Mr.. Myers had his wife with him at
the time that the alleged insult was
offered. and she testified against the
union man. Collni said nothing in
answer to the charge, and was fined
SIS. Not a few of the non-union men
have armed themselves. and claim TO
be afraid of the strikers. The union
men expressed fear that they would
be harmed by the non-union printers,
and several days ago asked the Mayor
for protection.

RICE CROPS OUTLOOK.
Prospects Tint n Large Crop Will
BE Harvested.


1.-THE rice crop that win be marketed
in Savannah this season will be I'M
| usually large and of exceptionally fine
quality" said a prominent rice broker
yesterday. Only recently he had visit
ed most of the rice plantations on the
Savannah river, where he had gathered
the information on which he based his
opinion, and this opinion has been
strengthened by the reports of crops
on both the Satilla and Altamaha riv-
ers.
The work of cutting the crop will be-
gin Monday and the first shipment of
new rice may be expected in the Sa-
vanann market about Aug. 81 or Sept.
l. Last year the first shipment vas
received by Aug. q, but this years
crop is a little backward because of
the several cold nights experienced soon
after the planting, in March and April.
The first shipments are expected from
the Satilla river, whence il was received
last year, but the Savannah river crop
will push 1t close for first place. The
first rice is usually of the white Varl-
ETY., the gold being of later maturity.
AS soon as the first shipments is receiY-
ed shipments may be expected regularly
ed, which it usually is by the middle
of January. Last years crop was about
365, 900 bushels, but that of the present
year is expected, from the present out
look, to run fully to 100000. New rice
like new cotton commands fancy prices
and it is expected that the early pro
duct this year, milled, will bring
cents a pound.
The movement of the new crop has
already begun in New Orleans, where
about 5000 bags are being received
daily. This country's new possession,
Porto Rico. is a large consumer of rice
and large shipments are made to that
island every year. Last year heavy ad
valorem duty was charged, but this
has been taken off, and it is hoped and
expected that rice will be admitted free
into Cuba, too
While the chief shipments to these
islands are made from New Orleans,
because of direct communication and
consequently cheaper rates, yet Savan-
nah is indirectly benefited, as New
Orleans thus disposing of her cheaper
grades removes formidable competition
with Savannah rice in the domestic
market. and thus enables the entire
crop marketed here to be disposed off
in this and the adjoining states.

HIGH PRICES FOR EGGS.
Light Receipts and Good Demand
Put the Market Up.

Savannahians are paying a quarter
dozen for eggs now, and the supply
seems to be none too plentiful even at
this price. The reason for the rise is
the scarcity caused by the delay of the
movement over some of the railroads
whose trains have been thrown out of
schedule by floods. The price is not
likely to remain up more than a day
or two, but it has been made the most
of by dealers who know the necessity
for eggs in the ordinary household.

HAD A es-YEAR LEASE.
This Seems to show Southern Doesn't
Want other Terminals.

The Southern Railway has an ar
rangement with the Central Railroad
nails of the latter. The Southern has
a ninety-nine year lease, and the facili-
ties of the terminals are entirely ade-
quate for the business of both lines.
1t would not seem probable that the
Southern, after having but very recent
ly entered into a contract of such a
length, would be casting about for fur
ther terminals, but there is report that
it has been figuring upon the Gordon
wharf property and other lands con-
tiguous or nearby. The report, in view
of the fact of the long lease upon the
Central terminals, would appear incor-
rect. A prominent official of another
line than the Southern said yesterday
that he does not credit the report.
