RAISING BROOM CORN.
A Good Quality of the straw Produc-
ed by Mr.. w. NJ. Davidson

Mr.. William M. Davidson, who ex-
perimented the past season in the Gull
ture of broom corn on one of his places
near the city. was successful in demon
strating to himself that broom corn
can be raised in Chatham county at a
profit.
He planted but a small area of the
corn, and the quality of the product
was pronounced good by all who have
seen it and the only drawback to the
crop which Mr.. Davidson has encoun-
tered is in finding a profitable market.
1t seems that the Savannah market for
the native product is not as good as
Mr.. Davidson expected to find it and
for that reason he is negotiating with
parties at other points in hope that he
may dispose of his crop at a price in
keeping with that offered for Western
broom corn.
Mr.. Davidson's experiment in raising
broom corn was suggested by a recent
visit to a city in a neighboring state
where he obtained data regarding the
manufacture of brooms, and was
shown that there was good profit in the
business. The advancing market for
broom corn. however, indicated that
there was even more money in raising
the corn. II IL could be done in this
climate. and in demonstrating this fact
his experiment has been eminently sue
ceSsful.

NEGRO ROBBER SHOT.
Edmund Golden Is Sure That He Hit
HiEhvayman.


Edmund Golden, a negro resident of
Sandfly Station, surrendered to the po-
lice yesterday and is held prisoner
on the supposition that he shot a
man, or woman on the Louisville road,
near LovelTs brick yard. Golden says
that he was held up by two men and
an individual in woman's attire, whom
he believes to be a man. 1t was the
person who wore a dress that Golden
believes he shot.
The police have been unable to find
any such person and Superintendent
Reilly will release Golden this morn
ing. unless the wounded negro is dis
covered. The superintendent has re-
quested the hospitals and certain ply
sicains to notify him in the event that
any person suffering from pistol shot
wound should apply for treatment.
While the statement made by Golden
is credited, it is not believed that he
struck the negro whom he shot at.
Golden told his story to a representa-
tive of the Morning News and appeared
quite certain that he had wounded The
person at whom he fired. The negro
stated that he was on his way to the
city and reached the brick yard about 5
o clock. 1t was not full daylight, but
he saw three figures in clump Of
bushes on the edge Of the road. Golden
says that he was held up and robbed
at the same place about month ago,
and that since that time he has been
coming to the city armed.
The prisoner says that he mad his
revolver in his hand when he saw the
suspicious trio and made up his mind
that he would mt them To fight if
they attempted to stop him. Golden
says that the one in female attire was
in front and threw out her arms for
him to stop. He raised his revolver
and fired one shot. Golden says that
the two men ran and that the woman,
if female she was, also turned and ran,
but fell in the bushes a few feet away.
Golden did not stop to investigate, but
came to the city as rapidly as possible.
He first reported the matter to a Cen
trail Railroad Waterman, and then went
to police headquarters, where he an
nounced what he had done and sur
rendered.

COTTON COMING LIVELIER.
Situation Improved and Cotton Men
Took No Action.


A meeting of the Savannah Cotton
Exchange was held yesterday at noon
to look into delays that have been en-
countered in shipments of cotton from
interior points to Savannah. No &C
ton of any sort was taken, as it was
shown that the situation, of which
loud complaint was made some days
ago. has been materially relieved and
that there is prospect of it's adjusting
itself very speedily.
President c. A. Shearson presided
over the meeting, at which communi-
cations were read from LeHardy & Co.
and P. D. Daffin's Son & Co., both of
which firms gave instances of delay
they had met. Delayed shipments
Dancy, Mr.. A. c. vonGundell, Mr..
John Nisbet and Gen. w. w. Gordon.
The delays were, for the most part,
Of small shipments. Few of the large
movements had been interfered with,
but had been made promptly one or
the most important mentioned as de-
layed was from Toccoa, consigned TO
w. w. Gordon & Co. Mr.. Charles
Bell, commercial agent at Savannah
for the Southern, answered this COM
plant by explaining that it had been
a case of first come, first served" at
Toccoa, and the Southern had taken
the cotton as it was turned over by
the compress.
Mr.. C. c. Hanson of Atlanta, presi-
dent of the Atlantic Compress Com
pany, talked at considerable length, ex-
planning to the apparent satisfaction
of the cotton men how his business is
conducted. He showed that the COM
pany has not shut down single COM
press this season. Two or three have
not been started, but it was because
there was not enough business at any
time to justify it. The company would
be glad to operate the congresses if
there were business for them.
At Opelika there were some 5000
bales in the press warehouse, Mr.. Han
son said, but they could not be COM
pressed until transferred to the rail-
roads. This was done at once, when
hurry orders were given, with all in
sisting that they be given immediate
attention. Then the first come, first
served" maxim operated, and the cry
of congestion was raised.
Col. A. Pope, assistant general freight
agent for the Seaboard Air Line, talk
ed at some length, showing that the
Seaboard has handled cotton expedi-
tiously and that it's receipts have been
so per cent. greater than last year.
Both Col. Pope and Mr.. Hanson con-
WINGED the cotton men that the rail-
roads had been doing all they could to
relieve the congestion that did exist,
and promised to continue their best
efforts for improvement.
The Plant System was represented at
the meeting by General Freight Agent
James Menzies, Superintendent of
transportation w. j. Haylow, Freight
Agent F. 3. Papy and Commercial
Agent 7. w. Warwick.

TALKED TO WOMEN ONLY.
Mrs. A. w. Unruh VIII Deliver Two
More Lectures in Wesley Church.


More Lectures in Wesley Church.
Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh. a we'll
known w. C. T. U. lecturer and or
ganizer, reached Savannah yesterday,
and delivered two lectures in Wesley
Monumental Church. The first, at
O'Clock, and to women only. is entitled
IAN Hour in Babyland." 1t is a lee
ture dealing with certain physiological
and psychological conditions and con-
sequences and illustrated by incidents
that have been brought to the atten-
ton of the lecturer from real life. 1t is
full of interest and information, and
was heard most attentively by a very
fair-sized audience.
At night Mrs. Unruh choose for her
subject, Snapshot From "a Tramp's
Life" a lecture dealing principally
with the temperance question, and
showing the pathetic side of life for a
great army of wanderers, too often
made such by the liquor habit.
This afternoon Mrs. Unruh will hold
child's meeting from 4 to 1880 o'clock.
and a woman's meeting from $50 until
the conclusion of the lecture. The sub
ject of the talk will be almost Men
and Women" AT night THE American
Boy will be discussed.
Mrs. Unruh's visit to Savannah was
brought about by her desire to add to
the membership Of the w. c. T. U. in
this city. 1t is also possible that she
may organize another branch of the
union to be made up of the younger
women. This matter, however. she will
| determine later. Before coming to Sa-
vannah Mrs Unruh delivered a num-
Der of lectures in Thomasville and or
.t,fa fonC har 1f h..
older women, with a membership OF
twenty-eight; the other of the younger
women, with membership of sixty
| eight.
The next place she will visit is Au-
gusta. where she will speak Sunday
and Monday. In about two weeks she
will leave to attend the National Con-
vention of the union, which will be
held in Fort Worth. The lecturer says
that she is agreeably surprised at the
success that his attended her efforts
in behalf of the union in this state.

BAPTISTS AT MEINHARD.
Annual Meeting New sunbury Assoc
citation at That Place.

citation at That Place.
The thirty-sixth annual meeting of
the New Sunbury Association was
called to order at the North Salem
Church, at Meinhard, yesterday by Mr..
c. W. West, moderator. The meeting
was begun with singing, and the read
ing of the 10th Psalm.
The election of officers followed and
resulted in the reelection of Mr.. G.
w. West as moderator, and Jas. r.
Cain as clerk. Letters were called for,
and out of the eighteen churches repre-
sented in the association twelve re-
sponded. These reports show great
Improvement in the condition of the
work. Especially is this true of the
city churches, the First Baptist church,
Duffy Street Church, and Southside.
The report on missions, made by
Rev. Robt. VanDeventer, pastor of the
Duffy Street Church, was very full and
complete and showed that the State
Missions Board calls for an increase of
% per cent. in collections, and that the
board will make plans for the expendi-
ture of $4,000 this year. All this
amount is collected from the different

he requested that this association
make as good showing as possible to
keep up this work.
The report showed further that the
Foreign Mission Board will send out
this year twenty-five men to foreign
fields, and this will call for an addition
al collection for this purpose. The
work in China and Japan is very en-
couraging, this being especially true OF
Japan.
The report on Sunday-schools show
ed them to be in an exceptionally line
and fiourishing condition both as to
membership and finances. This work
will receive the especial attention of
of the meeting. The financial condition
of the associa ton also was shown to
be excellent, all bills having been paid
and a fair surplus still left.
The address of welcome was made
by Rev. Mr.. Perryclear of Guyton. The
response was made by Mr.. c. w. West.
The whole of the morning was devoted
to business, but at the night service
Rev. ]. d. Jordan, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, preached a mission
airy sermon. His theme was the mar
row, or one-sided life, which he said
was the sort of existence led by anti
missionary, worldly minded, irreli-
gious and business absorbed people.
This service as we'll as that OF the
morning was very we'll attended. The
music was exceptionally good.
The delegates of all of the churches
are the guests of the hospitable peo-
pie of the town. The chief interest of
the session will center in to-day's
meeting. Rev. VanDeventer will preach
this morning at the end of the business
session. At night the subject of mis-
sions will again come up, this time fol
general discussion.

Some Of the Little Things That Go to
Make Life sweeter and

Practical jokes are rarely indulged
in by persons of nice perceptions, and
teasing passes the bounds of good taste
when it ceases to be a matter of pure
fun on all sides. Inquisitiveness is al
ways bad form? "Whom is your letter
from?'' what makes your eyes
so redo" are interferences with
cne's rightful privacy. A closed door
should be respected and give assurance
of seclusion, says Mrs. Burton Kings

. One who is so disloyal as to repeat
