DEATH OF GEO. p. REMBERT.
Occurred in Los Angeles. Cal. After n
Long Illness.

Mr.. George P. Rembert, we'll known
to many Savannahians, died at Los
Angeles, Cal, on Tuesday, from con-
sumption, aged 20 years. He had suf-
fered from that disease for several
years. During that time he had sought
health at various places, and at times
seemed about to recover, but during
the last few months he had weakened
rapidly until the end came. The body
will be inferred at Los Angeles.
Mr.. Rembert was the son of Mrs
s. p. Rembert. of No. % West Perry
street. His wife survives him in New
York and three sisters here, Mrs. w
w. Wilson. Miss Rosalie and Miss Cas-
sic Rembert. He was in the service
OF the Citizens Bank some years ago,
and afterward with the Central Rail-
road He visited Savannah twice in
while seeking to restore his health and
renewed former acquaintances.

The total vote cast was 4121 out of
a registration of 6,374.
There had been a quasi agreement
between Hartridge and Collins that
they would unite to defeat McAlpin,
but this agreement was never carried
out That it was not accounts largely
for Mr.. Hartridge's defeat. During the
early part of the day he and Mr.. Col
Inns found il impossible to agree which
of them was ahead and their adherents
went on dividing their votes between
the two candidates. When the support
ers of Mr.. Collins came at last to real
ize that their candidate was behind in
the fight it was too late to change the
result. The heavy vote that had been
placed in the boxes for Capt. McAlpin
during the first two or three hours of
the day could not be overcome.
Was a Quiet Election.
The order that was preserved around
the polls was excellent. Mr.. A. l..
Alexander, acting chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee of
the county, was on hand all day and
at his instance and that of Mayor
Myers the police enforced strictly the
rule of the primary providing that the
sidewalks be kept clear The voters
We're in two lines opposite each box and
they voted alternately from these lines.
The purchased voter was required to
display a distinctive ballot until it was
delivered by him to the manager who
was receiving the ticket and when the
spotter saw it going in the box then,
and not until then, was the money paid.
OF course. some trust had to be re-
posed in some of those who had been
bought-those for instance to whom
was confided the use of the money, and
these were permitted to vote unmarked
tickets.
Capt. McAlpin was away in the lead
during the early morning, but at 9
o'clock Mr.. Hartridge's strongest vote
began to come in. He gained steadily
during the day, but he was never able
te get in the boxes enough votes to
counteract the effect of Capt Meal
pins big lead.
The Apstisetic Third.
In the Third district. popularity sup
posed to be a stronghold of Mr.. Hart
ridge, the vote was light. More than
any other circumstance. this accounts
for Mr.. Hartridge's defeat. His friends
in the Third district staid away
and failed to deposit the
ballots that would have assured his
victory. Out of total reg
istration of 1,466 in this district
there were only 962 votes cast and Mr..
Hartridges plurality over Capt. Meal
pin was only 80. The Indifference of
the voters in the Third district to the
result of the election and the inability
of the supporters of Mr.. Collins to
grasp the fact that their candidate
could not be elected were the most po-
tent factors in the defeat of Mr.. Hart
ridge.
The work of the police was excellent
and admirable order was preserved
throughout the day. Mr.. Alexander
said after the polls closed that he
thought the thanks of the community
were due to Superintendent owen Reil-
ly for the manner in which his men
had been handled and the strict en-
forcement of the rule requiring that
the sidewalks be kept clear. Mr.. AL
exander said that managers and clerks
had done everything possible to aid
the conduct of the election and that

urprReRouNp CHAMPAGNE.

Visitors to France may go out OF
their way to gaze upon the quaint
architecture and crumbling houses OF
Epernay, or the Roman antiquities and
grand old cathedral Of Rheims. but the
real towns of Champagne are to be
looked for underground. These are
the bustling, busy places where the
business Of Champagne is carried on.
They are Of vast extent. American and
British workingmen would probably
not trouble themselves to obtain en-
ployment in underground Champagne.
Day after day the work-peopls leave
the outer world for eleven and twelve
hours at a time to discharge duties
which, IL not particularly arduous.
must be wearisome by reason OF their
monotony. An intelligent Frenchman
assured a writer in the Royal Maya
zine that he had worked below ground
for nearly forty-ive years. His duties
consisted In shaking bottles to dis
lodge the sediment. He said that he
had shaken ifty-five bottles a minute
during each working day of twelve
hours for these forty-five years, and
then asked the writer to calculate how
many bottles he had shaken. 1t Is no
great wonder that after a moments
consideration the visitor took to his
heels. Underground Champagne has a
reputation for producing good wines,
but according to the writer the bust
ness tends to sour the dispositions of
the workers. He found most of them
taciturn not to say misanthropical. In
one cellar at Epernay he came across
an old man who assured him that the
place vas filled with ghosts and COB
Inns.
1t Is hard to realize that underneath
the primitive villages where the vine
yards grow there are springing up
s~ubterranean cities of great import
ance. but this is the case Men must
search below. and o above. ground
II hey would understand the life of
the people Of Champagne.

pressure In n spot by the shoe. It
is situated generally on a prominent
portion of one of the toes, more COM
monty the little toe. but may be on the
sole of the foot or even on the ankle
bone. 1t begins by an increase In size
of the papillae in the deeper part Of
the skin. and this induces an increase
in the production of the scarf-skin, or
horny layer. The scarf-skin soon be-
comes Unfortunately thick. and, the
pressure from the shoe continuing, Is
pushed back against the enlarged pa
pillae, causing their final atrophy.
This formation of a corn affords a
curious illustration OF the defeat Of
natures well-meant efforts to prevent
trouble; for the increased thickness OF
the horny layer is intended to afford
protection to the enlarged and tender
papillae, a purpose which would be
we'll accomplished did the process stop
there. But the friction by the shoe

his grape-pickers, a laughing band of
peasant girls, and who invites passers-
by with a grace of that would
do credit to an archduke, to enter and
help themselves. The pickers are more
interesting than the grapes, but the
informal guests take a handful, and de-

Climatic Mobilization Of Plants.


We have previously referred to ths
desirability of having plants that ars
able to Withstand a higher or lower
temperature than usually supposed
possible for any particular variety we
o cultivate. We have. as a people.
long labored under the delusion that
the habitat OF plants Is fixed so far as
their power to withstand adverse cli-
matte conditions Is concerned. In lne
1igst of recent experiments, however,
we are coming to believe that even our
most serySceable plants may be modi-
iea by proper handling so they will
ultimately be of great service in tenn
peratures and conditions not now
adapted to them. We have an alfalfa
today that will not stand severe con-
3xion of cold. Recently there has been
imported from Northern Asia an alfal-
IA that can stand up to 40 degrees Of
cold. Without doubt both plants de-
veloped from the same prehistoric
parent and formed characteristics ac-
csrding to their conditions.
That this modification, however,
need not cover centuries of time is per-
haps quite clearly demonstrated by
some experiments that have been car
ried on for ten or fifteen years In
Switzerland. 1t was determined to
learn IL possible II the plants growing
In the Swiss valleys could be made to
develop and grow on the cold noun
tains. and, II SO, what the modifca-
lions Of the plants would be. Thirty
I'VE orders OF plants. represented by
about 80 genera and 100 species, were
subjected to the conditions of the ex-
pertinent. The plan was to divide the
roots or root stalks into equal parts,
plant In the same kind of soil, and ex-
pose them to the conditions found at
various stations upon the Alps and
Pyranee mountains. Such changes as
were noted were attributed to more
Intense light, a drier atmosphere and
owe temperatures.
inese plants were found to be modi-
fed both in form and structure In the
course Of a few years. Under the eff
feet OF the mountain conditions the
underground portions OF the plants be-
came relatively better developed than
the parts above the ground. The stems
above the ground In a few years de-
veloped a tendency to hairy growth
and to lie close to the ground as II to
escape the cold blasts. They became
more spreading and the internodes be-
came shorter. The stems became thick
er. which evidently made 1t easier for
them to Withstand conditions OF cold.
On the plants of a woody nature the
bark became thicker. The leaves be-
came smaller and more hairy, and took
on a hue of deeper green. On the 9TH
er hand the flowers became relatively
larger and more highly colored. Per-
haps one of the most interesting facts
brought out was that IL q Liant that
had been modified by several ears ex-
