To THE FREE LAME:
notice in the Richmond News, Feb
10Th. communication from its CORES
pondent at fredericksburg which was az
follows:
An effort is being made here to get
the leading candidates to speak here mex
week. IL is now thought that Spotsyl-
vania's delegates will be divided be
tween Swanson and Montague. Both
seem to he popular here
To say this IL n surprise but puts II IN
mild terms and clearly shows that the
correspondent is wholly ignor mt about
what he seeks to enlighten the public.
We are afraid the correspondent who
sent this piece Of news has allowed his
ardour for Swanson to run away with his
conscience and he IL doubtless alone IN

gates will be divided between swanson
and Montague. The following il a list

These gentlemen are all ardent support

name il before the convention. Now we
would like for this correspondent OF the
News To give us the name or names OF
one or more Of these gentlemen who has
intimated to him his intention To support
Mr.. Swanson. or whom he thinks will do
so.
We notice in the fredericksburg Star
of Saturday an article asking some one
to inform it of the number Of school su-
perintendents already appointed dele

We cannot give the Star the exact
number, and think it immaterial al, from
present indication, Mr.. Montague can
give the Stars favOrte all Of them, all

WILL REBUILD AT ONCE.
Burned Acid Chamber of Chemical
Works VIII he Replaced.

The work OF rebuilding the burned por-
ton of the plant of the Virginia-Carolina
Chemical Company, the destruction of
which was reported in the Morning News
yesterday, will begin just as soon as the
insurance companies settle upon the
amount of damage done by the flames.
1t is now believed that 100000 will fully
cover the loss and the company carried
insurance policies amounting to $144 $50.
The Morning News stated yesterday that
the loss was fully covered by insurance.
Considerable of the property that was at
first thought to have been totally de-
stroyed will be saved and the loss has
been slightly decreased from the first
estimate.
The firemen who fought the flames so
hard find that the acid from the burned
chambers played havoc with their cloth
ing and shoes. The trousers and shoes of
the men were badly eaten and in sew
eral cases are worthless. Several over
coats were lost by the firemen on their
way to the fire, but were found by news
paper men who followed them, and were
turned over to the head of the depart
ment.

SOME PROPOSED PLANS.
VIII BE Discussed Mt the Georgia
Historical SOciety's March Meeting.

VIII BE Discussed Mt the Georgia
Historical SOciety's March Meeting.
The March meeting of the Georgia His
torical Society, which will be held to-mor-
row night, will be a most interesting and
important one because of the discussion
OF the financial needs of the society
which viii come up, and the many plans.
that it is understood, will be suggested
as remedies of this condition of affairs.
Among the plans that probably will be
brought up for consideration is that of
Col. G. A. Mercer which was proposed
by him at the last meeting.s This plan
is to have graduated membership, offer
ing additional advantages i'm the taking
out of books or in admissions TO the Tel
fair Academy, TO those that will pay
higher membership fee than the present
one. And Offering, possibly, the use of
the library as a reading room, without
the privilege of taking out books, to those
that wish to pay fee lower than the
one now charged.
1t is possible, also, that the advisability
of forming among the members of the So
ciety n ladies' auxiliary to awaken an
interest in the society and secure new
members, will be discussed.
As many members of the society have
recently taken a deep interest in the finan-
ciaI problem that oonfronts it, It is quite
possible that many other plans, or modi-
fication of those mentioned, will be pro-
posed.

WITHIN NINETY DAYS.
In Tint Time After Adoption of Bill
HarbOr Work VIII Start.

Within ninety days from the time the
river and harbor bill receives the sigma
turo OF the President and becomes a
law, work will be begun under the pro-
ject which is to give the port of Savan-
nah twenty-eight feet of water from the
wharves to the sea.
This is am outside estimate of the time,
made by Capt. Gillette to a Morning
News reporter. Capt. Gillette said that
bids for the work must be advertised for
thirty days, and that the successful con-
tractor would be allowed thirty days
from the time Of the acceptance of his
bid in which to begin operations. Incl
dental delays would possibly increase the
interval from the time of the bills enact
ment into law to the time when the
work is well under way to ninety days,
but it would not be longer.
while it will probably be ninety days
before work on the big contracts for
dredging is wen begun said Capt. Gill
lette, there are some smaller items in
the project of Improvement work upon
which viii be started at once. Working
plans for these have already been for
mulated and drawn, and so far as they are
concerned there will be practically no de-
lay whatever. SO that as soon as the bin
is passed by Congress and receives the
approval of the President operations Will
be inaugurated to give the harbor the
greater depth which is desired"
The river and harbor bill is now IN the
hands of a joint conference committee
from the House and Senate, which is at
tempting TO reconcile the two or three
hundred points of difference that obtain
between the bill as originally passed by
the House, and the form i'm which II was
adopted by the Senate. If the committee
succeeds in its work and the bill is passed,
it will probably be signed by the Presl-
dent to-day or tomorrow.
