INTEREST IN THE SHOOT.
Savannah Military Will Practice
Hard for the Macon Event.

savannah Military VIII Practice
Hard for the Macon Event.
Interest in rifle practice has been
given an impetus among the members
of the Savannah commands by reason
of the fact that the state shoot is to
be held at Macon next month, and
every company is to have a team rep
resent it, On each team there viii be
five men, and these will probably be
selected from among the best shots,
though the selection is left entirely
with the company commanders. Some
hold that the less experienced shots
should be sent to the shoot. in order
for thersi to gain practice, but this is
not the general view.
Money prizes and trophies will be
offered at the Macon shoot, as matches
will be interspersed with the. practice
that will be given the attending SOL
diers. Most of the company command
ers have decided that they want to
send the best men in their commands in
order that they may stand good
chance for some of the, prizes.
II is urged that it is of no use for
the Savannah companies to send other
than their best shots to Macon, for the
reason that Savannah has superior
range, at which all the practice needed
can be gained. 1t is held, too, that the
expert shots would show more interest
at Macon, and that more real benefit
would accrue TO their companies. If
the less experienced shots do not take
interest in rifle practice at home, it is
urged that they would not do so at
Macon.
Despite the stormy weather Saturday
afternoon there were many members
of the military at the range for prac-
tice. The conditions were so poor,
however that the results were not en-
couraging. AS much practice as pos
sible will be secured by those who want
to go on the teams from now until
July Z, when the shoot at Macon opens
Every afternoon the range is open
there will doubtless be numbers at
practice.
The state pays transportation and al
necessary expenses for teams of five
men from each company. 1t is not an
ticipated that there will be any diff
Guilty in securing men to constitute tht
teams. 1t is possible, however that the
strength of some Of the teams may bt

ness.
Many of the companies will probably
| send more than five men. The state
will furnish quarters for additions
| men to the number of five, but they
will have to pay for their transporta.
ton and their subsistence.

CANTALOUPES ON THE WAY.
Heavy Shipments VIII Begin i'm the
Course of the Next Few Days.

Heavy Shipments Will Beein i'm the
Course of the Next Few Days.
The truck growers of this vicinity
will begin to ship cantaloupes in the
course of the next few days. The
crop is large one and the fruit of
extraordinary good quality. so that
the growers should have no trouble
in making a perfectly satisfactory re-
turn upon their investment.
Down in Southwest Georgia, where
land is cheap and productive, the crop
of cantaloupes is ten times as large
as 1t is in this county. Where a
grower will lhave ten acres here, he
will have a hundred acres down in
the country. and If he is lucky he
stands to win, because of the relative
cheapness of labor and other expenses,
more than ten times as much money.
The variety of cantaloupe principally
grown is the Rocky Ford, which has
assumed every prominence in the
course of the past few years. The
variety originated in Colorado, whose
dry air and easily controlled water
supply were thought to be peculiarly
adapted to the cultivation of the fruit.
1t soon developed, however that this
section of Georgia could produce the
fruit in as great perfection as any
part of the Union, and in the course
of a year or two it had developed into
a magnificent industry. This year it
is probable that hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of the fruit will he
shipped from this state to Northern,
Eastern and Western markets.

RESCUE OF WOMEN.
Mrs. Barrett's Subject at Wesley
Monumental Tonight.

MOnumend0l Tonight.
Much interest is being shown in the
coming of Mrs. Kate W. Barrett, ma
tional president of the Florence Crit
tenton Rescue Work, who will arrive
in Savannah to-day. AS has been
stated in the Morning News before,
Mrs. Barrett comes to confer with
the board of control of the proposed
home in this city as to the best means
of instituting the organization, and
also to discuss with the members of
the ladies' committees the best way
of conducting the work.
Mrs. Barrett, who, because of her
position, has had an exceptionally
wide experience in rescue work. will
delivers a lecture on the subject in
Wesley Monumental Church tonight.
The speaker is anxious that not only
those interested in the home proposed
for this city, but also those that are
opposed to it, should attend this lee

SEABoARD PAYS CHARGES.
Removes Expense of Ira nsfers From
Naval Stores Factors.

Naval Stores Factors.
The Seaboard Air Lines concession
to the naval stores factors of Savan-
Traffic Manager w. H. Peasants was
in conference with them, consisted in
the removal of charge for lighterags
upon rosin and spirits that was added
to the rate when transfers had to be
made to the Ocean Steamship Com
pany or the Merchants and Miners
Transportation Company's wharVes.
This arrangement is temporary, and
1t remains to be seen what plan Will
be adopted later.
Mr.. Peasants conference, 1t will be
remembered, was held in order that
some satisfactory arrangement might
be reached with the naval stores fac
tors of this city, who were disposed TO
complain for the reason that they suf-
fered in handling their Florida BUSH
ness because of the differential of 2
cents that Fernandina and Jackson
Vile enjoy over Savannah on rosin and
cents on spirits. Neither the factors
interested nor the railway officials
would then say what plan had been
decided upon, but it is now learned
that it was the removal of the trans
fer charge.
Formerly the Seaboard paid this
charge for lighterage, which is 4 cents
a barrel or cask. About two months
ago, however, it was decided to i'm
pose it upon the consignees. Its re-
moval tends to restore the equilibrium,
for it leaves the Savannah factors on
more nearly equal terms with those of
Jacksonville and Fernandina. There is
only the differential in favor of the
Florida ports. AS those ports do not
have lighter transfers, these, too, were
against Savannah until the Seaboard
agreed to assume them.

THEME TRIUMPHANT LOVE-"
Rev. DIR. Collins Denny's Eloquent
Sermons at Wesley.

Sermons at Wesley.
in spite Of the inclement day a good
sized congregation greeted DR.. Collins
Denny yesterday at Wesley Monumen-
tai Church. The theme of his sermon
was Triumphant Love- The text
was taken from John. 2O:1-16.
In the experience of Mary Magda-
lene, visiting the tomb of the Lord,
grieved and disappointed that the
tomb was empty, searching for his
body, seeing the angels, and finally
meeting her risen, glorified Saviour, he
found a most natural and beautiful IL
'lus Grafton of love in triumph. The dis
course was profound in thought,
mighty in truth and beautiful in the
pathetic touches that warmed the
hearts of his audience and kept them in
full sympathy with the great truths
presented by the preacher. For more
than an hour DR.. Denny held the
large congregation in rapt attention as
they drank in his words.
The feeling of those who heard DR..
Denny in the morning was that the
church has made no mistake in honor
ing this distinguished scholar and
preacher with positions of responsible
ity and trust.
DIR. Denny preached again in the
evening and was again heard by a lard
and delighted congregation. His text
was, John, 4:16:a"Go Is Love-
In his analysis of love he gave to his
audience clear and beautiful view of
the nature of God which inspired a
deeper love Of God and naturally
awakened greater desire to be like Him
and to render acceptable service.

BANKERS COME TO-DAY.
Ii Is Believed They VIII Enjoy
Themselves in Savannah.


Themselves in savannah.
Savannah bankers and those inter-
! ested in the convention of the bank
ers of Georgia, Virginia and North
Carolina were disappointed on reading
in the Morning News yesterday that
the congressman expected to address
the convention would not attend. This
news caused especial regret because
there was no time intervening in which
arrangements could be made to get
other distinguished fnanciers to take
the place of the congressman.
1t was thought possible that a letter
from either Congressman Fowler or
Congressman Hill would reach Savan-
nan during the day, explaining the rea-
son for their withdrawal from their
engagement. None arrived. however,
and the local bankers are still un-
aware of the cause. The telegram
announcing their withdrawal was terse,
stating only that circumstances were
such as to prevent the attendance of
the congressman.

ception, of course, that the congress
