ciples of government by the people, and
was Inconsistent with the preceding sec
tions OF the bill. lie hoped the House

HUNT CLUBS PRESIDE HUNT.
The Evening to Be Devoted to Good
Stories and the Chase.

The Chatham Hunt Club will hold
its annual fireside hunt at the De Soto
tomorrow night. The meeting will,
of course. be largely attended. 1t is
not known yet whether any n-resi-
dent members will be present or not
The purpose of these meets is to get
together the lovers of the sport of the
kings and to hear them through the
evening in their best stories. Every
gentleman who has ridden to hounds
has some good tale to relate of the
dogs he owned and of the wonderful
running of his friends. There are to-
day more fine fox and deer hounds in
Savannah then ever. The Chatham
Hunt Club has a pack of more than
% fox dogs. and Mr.. Jacob Rauers
received from Virginia this season the
best deer dogs ever brought to this
section.
Last season was fine one for the
Chatham Hunt Club. Foxes were
plentiful and they ran we'll. This sea-
son they are even better sport. They
get up quicker, start faster and run
longer.
Thanksgiving meet of last year was
largely attended and was the best
of the season. Arrangements will be
made tomorrow night for the holiday
meets, embracing Thanksgiving,
Christmas and New Year. officers of
the club will also be chosen and new
members will be elected.

COMMISSIONERS TO PROTEST.
County Board Is Opposed to Division
of City Court.

The County Commissioners will pro-
test against the passage of the Hitch
bill to create a division of the City
Court of Savannah into two branches.
A meeting OF the board will probably
be held to-day for that purpose.
Commissioner A. b. Moore. acting
chairman Of the board. said yesterday
that he had telegraphed Representative
Hitch at Atlanta, requesting him 10
send him a copy OF the bill by the first
mail. Compliance with the Request
means that the bill viii reach Commits
sioner Moore this morning. Should IL
do so. he said. the meeting will prob
ably be called for noon.
No opportunity has been given the
commissioners, Commissioner Moore
said. for an examination OF the bill in
its fun text Before a protest n made
n IL his desire that the commissioners
may become familiar with all Us fea-
lures.

ARE THERE TWO BETTE BIS.
That is the Question That is Con-
corning John Kerr.

An investigation is to be made that
may result in the ruling off from all
recognized race tracks of the owner of
Bette B. that won the five furlongs
dash at the Savannah track last Sat
urday is owned by w. F. Walter, who
was here with the mare. She did the
five-eighths in the fast time of 1:01,
with Gladhand, owned by John Kerr,
second. From Savannah Mr.. Walter
carried his horse to Jacksonville, where
Bette B has been capturing purses in
the races in which she has started.
Reports have it, however, that a
mare named Bette B has been running
at the Bennings meeting Mr.. Kerr saw
such report in the press dispatches.
He found that a mare, entered under
the same breeding as the Bette b
entered at Savannah, was running
there, and concluded that it was time
to make AN investigation.
1t will be recalled that Mr.. Kerr was
discontinued because of the reinstate-
ment of Bette B. after she had been
ruled off the track at Columbia because
of an effort on the part of her jockey
to throw away some of his weight
She was reinstated by the Columbla
ASSOCrdtlOil, anu was, therefore,, dllOW-
ed to run at Savannah, though she had
first been scratched from a race In
which she had been entered here. This
story has already been told in the
Morning News.
On seeing the report that a Bette B
was starting at Bennings, Mr.. Kerr
concluded that there was something
wrong. He called on President Owens
of the Savannah Fair Association and
Manager H. H. Hull of the Savannah
races. They agreed that the matter
should be investigated. Mr.. Hull is in
clined to the belief that the real Bet
tie B. started at Savannah, as Mr.
Walter was with her and would not
have undertaken to perpetrate such G
fraud. II is quite possible, Mr.. HUI
considers. that there may be some err,
ror in the report or its transmission
and that there is really no such horse
at Bennings.

GROWING PECAN NUTS.
south Georgia Adding 20 Her Groves
Thousands of Trees Each Year.

Besides the sugar cane. as a money
making crop. South Georgia has in the
raising of pecans for the market an
industry. that. though now in it's in
fancy, is growing with rapid strides
every year, and which bids fair with
il. a very few years at most, to be-
come one of the most profitable in
dustries of the southern section of the
state.
Trees in small numbers have been
growing in the state for many years,
but because the trees themselves were
neither selected, properly cared for. nor
grown in any quantity, but a small
number of nuts were, sold, and then
only in very restricted local market.
Recently, however, the farmers have
awakened to the fact that pecans can
be grown most profitably, and. act
ing on this knowledge they have be-
gun setting out quite extensive groves
of the trees.
One such grove is that of Mr. j. B.
Wright within a short distance of
Cairo. Here he has about 1000 trees,
some of which are bearing this sea-
son for the first time. OF this grove
$50 trees are of the Frotscher variety,
d KIM Oh winch some lQea OF the val
lie from a commercial standpoint may
be gained, when it is known that
though only one or two of these trees
are now bearing. and that because
they are young the yield is small. that
the nuts yet command a price of IS
cents pound for use as seed, and that
even at this price and for this purpose
Mr.. Wright is quite unable to supply
the demand for them.
Mr.. D. F. kirkland of Townsville,
who, because of his position as divis-
ion superintendent of the Plant System
has occasion to keep in close touch
with conditions along the line of road,
states that a great many trees, esti-
mated to be several thousand each
year, are being set out in that section
of the country, especially in the vi
cinity of Baconton, Dewitt and Hard
away, and that though some of these
trees are bearing. the market for the
nut is still as it has always been much
greater than the supply.
Within the next year or two the crop
of pecans will be increased several fold
and the Georgia crop will then be-
come an important factor in the gem
eral market.

Sires-To Keep Green the Memory
and Fair the Fame of the Men
Who Followed the Stars and Bars.
Annual Banquet to Be Held in
Near Future, "A Committee Having
Been Appointed to Arrange De-
taiIs-Camp Growing in strength
and Power.
The recently elected officers of Fran
els S. Barlow Camp of Sons Of Con-
federate Veterans were installed at a
meeting of the camp held last night a
meeting largely attended and manifest
ing in it's every feature the rekindled
and strengthened interest that is be-
ing taken in the work of the order by
it's representatives here in Savannah.
The officers installed were as fol-
lows:
COMMUNICATIVE c. Barrow.
First Lieutenant Commander-Rog-
ers S. Woods.
Second Lieutenant Commander-Rai-
ford Falligant.
Adjutant-George A. Nell.
Quartermaster-M. O'Mara.
Chaplain-M. j. Epting.
-SsIrgeon-F. S. Clay. --
Treasurer-A. ID. Kent.
Historian-Robert j. Travis.
Commandment Barrow made a speech
in assuming the chair, in which he
thanked the camp for the honor that
had been done him, and besought it's
every member to labor strenuously for
the advancement of the sacred cause
of truth and right, which, through the
steady decrease in the number of the
old heroes who once followed the Stars
and Bars. is being left more and more
every day to their sons.
1t was decided to give the annual
banquet of the camp some time in the
near future, and a committee was ap-
pointed to consider the questions of
date, ways and means, and report
back to the camp at its next regular
meeting, to be called specially for the
purpose of receiving and acting upon
this committees report.
The camp is growing in strength and
influence, and it is the ambition of the
new officers. which they bid fair to
realize, to make It the banner camp
of the state division.
Refreshments were served the mem
bers of the camp at the conclusion of
the meeting last night, and pleasant
hour was spent in the enjoyment OF
these and in informal social relaxation.
These social hours have been made a
feature of the meetings of the camp,
and have served very largely to in
crease the average attendance of the
members. =
