SHRlNERS' H0NORED GUEST.
Rev. sam p. Jones' Lecture on"Chnr-
acter" at Guards Hall.

Rev. Sam P. Jones will arrive in the
city this afternoon from his home at
Gainesville. He will be entertained at
the De Soto, and will lecture at the
Guards Hall tonight for the benefit
of Grace and Epworth Methodist
churches.
The evangelist will doubtless be
greeted by a very large number OF en-
thusiastic friends and admirers here.
Recognizing his popularity in Savan-
nah since his meetings in the spring,
the managers of the lecture have made
ample provision to accommodate those
who desire to hear him speak at this
time. The reserve seat sale Will be con-
tinued at the Y. NJ. c. A. to-day from
to 10 a. M. and to p. m. While
the sale has already been very salts
factory. there are yet some good seats
that can be obtained to-day, and a
large number that will not be reserved,
so that those who purchase tickets at
the door can be accommodated.
A large number of the members OF
Alec Temple of Mystic Shriners will
attend the lecture and afterward will
have Rev. Jones as the guest of honor
at a banquet that will be served in
the supper room of the temple. The af-
fair will be strictly informal, but none
the less enjoyable on that account.
Rev. Jones became a member of the
Alec Temple just after he had finished
his series of meetings here last spring.

COTTON'S FALLING OFF.
Capt t. j. james Tells of the Profit
in Syrup Making.

in syrup Making.
Capt T. ]. James of Adrian was in
the city yesterday on a short business
trip and left last night for Waycross.
Capt. James takes a decided interest
in the coming State Fair and was
anxious to visit the grounds but was
prevented by the pressure of other
business. He had hoped and expected,
he said, to make an individual exhibit
at the fair but now finds that he will
not have sufficient time in which to do
so.
Capt. James spoke Interestingly of
the outlook for the cotton crop He,
himself planted 1000 acres, expecting
to make 1000 bales but will not get
more than GOO. The poor showing he
attributes to a wet spring and the con-
sequent heavy growth of grass which
could not be gotten rid of before it had
checked the growth of the cotton The
conditions on his farm, Capt. James
says, are the same all over the state.
Capt. James is one of the pioneer
cane growers of the state. He says his
crop this year is the finest he has ever
seen: the matured stalks aref six to
eight feet long; finer even than the
product of the Louisiana plantations
that he visited last year to inquire into
the process of sugar making.
This cane will be ready for grinding
about the middle of November, and
will be converted into syrup of which
it is expected it will make about 10000
gallons. Last season, Capt. James said
he found a ready sale for his whole
supply at from 40 cents to 60 cents a
gallon,

THEIR WAGER CAUSED TALK.
Great Interest in the Little Walk
MIR. Pratt is to Take.

Mr. PFnNN ~
General interest was aroused by the
story in the Morning News yesterday
of the test of endurance to be made
day after tomorrow on the Ogeechee
road by Mr.. Pratt, who, on a wager of
more than $780, is to undertake to walk
thirty miles without stopping to rest.
A bet upon so unusual a question as
ones ability to withstand so much
physical exhaustion as such an effort
would be likely to entail would natur-
ally create interest.
At breakfast tables the discussion
turned upon the test, and the acquain-
tances of the gentlemen interested
found it a fruitful subject for CONVEX
sation throughout the day. Many be.
gan estimating their own ability to
stand such a test, but there has been
nothing heard of any similar bets hav>
ing been taken.
One is offered, however, and the
young man making the offer goes even
further than Mr.. Pratt, who engages to
walk the distance within eighteen
hours. Mr.. F. NJ. Truslow, a clerk
in the Office of the auditor of the Cen
trail Railroad, has written the Morning
News that, if anyone should desire to
make a wager with him, he will I'M.
take to cover the same ground in four
teen hours or less. without sitting
down, lying down or eating or drink
ing anything from start to finish. So
far as is known, there is nothing in
Mr.. Pratt's bet to prohibit his taking
along something to eat and drink. Mr..
Truslow seems anxious to find taker,
and gives his address as No. 410 Gwin-
nett street, west. where he may be
found any evening after 7 O'Clock.
So interested are many in the under
taking that Mr.. Pratt will essay that
it is very probable he will have quite
go twice over the way from the city
to the Ogeechee river bridge and re-
turn, making about thirty miles.
Somebody comes to the front with a
suggestion that would leave no ques-
ton as to the distance and would af-
ford the additional advantage of a
good place for the gallery. This is
that the effort in pedestrianism be put
forth on the racetrack at the Fair
grounds. The track is in first rate con-
dition for walking. and the grandstand
is open for any who might care to
watch the performance.
It is feared by some of those whose
interest in the prospective event has
been aroused that the gentlemen con-
cerned-Mr. Pratt, Mr.. S. P. Shotter,
Mr.. George W. Owens and Others, may
call it off. This fear is inspired by the
fact that the gentlemen had no thought
that their wager would be given pub
licity. 1t was their idea that it would
get no further than the membership
of the Oglethorpe Club, where it was
rather generally known before its pub
LEGATION. No announcement that the
wager has yet been withdrawn, how
ever, has been heard and it may be
left for Mr.. Pratt's efforts to deter
mine.

NO MORE DAILY FLAG SIGNALS.
The Weather bureau to Announce
Only Cold Waves, Storms Etc.


Only Cold Waves, Storms Etc.
Mr.. H. B. Boyer. local forecast off,
cial OF the Weather Bureau, yesterday
issued a call for bids for the erection
OF a new signal tower at Port ROYAL.
The tower will be Of steel, fifty feet
high, and will be surmounted by a
Flagstaff twenty-five feet high. 1t is
expected that it will be completed in
about three weeks, when Mr.. Boyer
will go to Port Royal and inspect It.
The Weather Bureau has recently
discontinued its system OF daily sig
nails displayed from the postoffice
building. Speaking of this yesterday
Mr.. Boyer said. that the bureau service
in printed notices, maps, etc, was so
complete that the signal service was
not needed, and so has been discon-
tinued IN all cities of more than 90
900 inhabitants.
This change will not effect, though.

show the approach of cold weather.

PREPARING FOR PARADE.
Committee of Omcers Appointed by
Col. Brooks.

Col. Brooks.
Col. Jordan F. Brooks, who has been
placed in charge of the military fea-
lures of the State Fair, was at the Of
fee of the Fair Association yesterday
to look into matters having bearing
upon his work. He is getting in touch
with the commanding officers of the
Savannah troops, with the view of
making the parade on the opening day
there will be meeting of the commit
tee, that will assist Col. Brooks in his
work. Those that he had placed upon
the committee yesterday were Lieut..
Col. G. A. Gordon, Capt. w. E. Coney,
Capt. j. NJ. Rogers. Capt. w. G. Har-
rison, Capt. G. B. Pritchard and Lieut..
c. w. Saussy.
1t is probable that the review of the
troops by the Governor will take place
on the race track. That would be the
concluding feature of the parade, as,
when 1t was over, the troops would be
dismissed and given the privileges of
the Fair grounds for the rest of the
day.
Mr.. Thomas w. Daniel of Claxton
has written the Fair Association that
his company at that place would like
to visit the Fair. He asked for infor-
military parade that will be furnished
him.
Charles Vittur, major of the knights
of Pythias' Drum Corps of Atlanta,
wants to come to Savannah with his
aggregation to participate in a. parade.
The only stipulation he makes is that
expenses shall be paid. He writes that
his band has twenty four pieces. New
uniforms have just been secured, and
he thinks a handsome appearance
would be presented.
Senator ]. F. Cam was asked yester-
day if he thought the two houses of
the General Assembly would accept the
invitation of the Savannah Fair
Association to visit the Fair
on the opening day He
answered that there was little chance
that they would do so unless the proper
steps were taken to bring the invita-
ton before the Legislature. A mere
invitation to the president of the SEN
ate or the speaker of the House, trust
ting to him to bring the matter up,
Woulu scarcely get what Jne I dlT AS
ISOLATION wants, Senator Cam believes
Such things, he said, are done through
resolutions. Some member from the
county extending the invitation offers a
resolution that the body in which it is
offered the House or the Senate, as
the case may be, concurring, declare
the day it is proposed to spend away
from the capital a non dies, thus ac-
! cepting, Senator Cam said that he
had not been asked to offer such a res
Olution and that he had not heard thai
either of the representatives in the city
had been asked. Senator Cam will leave
next Monday for Atlanta, and Repre-
sentative Hitch will leave the follow
ing night. Representative Harden vii
probably leave with Representative
| Hitch.

SUSPENDED THEIR LICENSES.

Steamboat Inspectors Investigated
Trouble on the SatilIa.
Messrs. Lee and Fitzgerald, inspec-
tors of steamboats,. returned yesterday
from Brunswick, where they held an
investigation of the recent trouble on
the steamer Rowland on the Satilla
river. AS a result of the investigator
the license of the master Of the steam
err, Charles Alexander, was suspended
for thirty days. and that Of the engi-
neer. John Il. Daniels, colored. for six
~ days. Both officers engaged in a
row on board the steamer and one was
suspended for drunkenness and the
other for characterization. The inspec-
tors made short work OF the investi-
cation when they got the witnesses and
the suspended officers were fortunate
IN getting of as light as they did.

EXAMINATIONS NOT NEEDED.
Mayor Myers So Thinks of the sa-
vannah Police Force.

Mayor Myers So Thinks of the Sa-
vannah Police Force.
Mayor Myers does not see that there
is any need for the establishment Of
civil service examinations for the Saw
annah police force. Atlanta has de-
cided upon such regulations, but Saw
annah is getting on very we'll without
them. The Mayor said that he has not
observed that the department would be
particularly benefited by such examin-
alton of applicants for appointment on
the force. The city has not reached a
size where such a measure is necessary.
1t is required of those appointed that
they shall have been residents of Saw
annah for some time. so that they are
reasonably familiar with the city, and
that, with intelligence. makes up the
sum OF such requirements, other than
OF physique and courage, as are need
ed OF policemen. A physical examina-
ton is required Of applicants.

Board of Registrars Want to Finish
by Tomorrow Night.


The Board of Registrars have fin
ished the work of purging the registra-
ton lists, to be used at the election for
ordinary. to be held next Thursday.
The country districts were completed
yesterday and in the neighborhood OF
200 names have been placed on the dis
qualified list.
The work of preparing the lists for
the election managers will be taken up
to-day and pushed rapidly to compile
ton. Many OF those now on the list
as being in default will pay up and be
reinstated. Registrars Pease. Dreamer
and Hayes hope to have the work COM
pleted by tomorrow night. To do
this they will have to work tonight
and 1t is not at all unlikely that a
night session will be held. While the
names of those who have no right to
vote have been scratched off the lists.
typewriter copies of each district
must be made and checked over by the
registrars. 1t is this work that is to
be taken up to-day.
