FRANK WON'T SERVE.
Doesn't Want to Be Chairman of
Committee on Accounts.

Committee on Accounts.
Alderman Edwin Frank returned yes
terday morning from his wedding trip.
and one of his first acts upon his ar
rival at his Office was to address a let
ter to Mayor Myers. stating that he
would be unable to serve as chairman
of the Council Committee on Accounts.
While he was out of the city he was
appointed chairman Of the committee
by Mayor Myers being removed from
the craftsmanship of the Police Com
mittee, which was given to Alderman
Jones, who had been chairman of the
Committee on Accounts.
Alderman Frank wrote that, when he
was elected a member of the board, he
had stated that he would not be able
to devote very much time to committee
duties, and that those of the chairman
of the Committee on Accounts would
take up too much of his time.
Mayor Myers replied to Alderman
Frank, asking that he reconsider his
declination. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that Alderman Frank will do so.
NO" said the Mayor, when asked by
a representative of the Morning News,
Il do not know what alderman l will
appoint should Alderman Frank de-
cline to reconsider his determination. 1
trust that he will not decline, as,
should he do so. a double duty will be
imposed upon some other alderman.
THE duties of the chairman of the
Committee on Accounts are not such
as to require a great deal of his time
The accounts are sent to him at his
place of business. and all he has to do
is to investigate them and certify as
to their correctness. He may choose
his own time for doing this, and may
even take the accounts home with him
to do the work. Alderman Bacon, who
is next to the chairman on the Com
mfttee on Accounts, is now looking
after the duties of the chairman"
Alderman Frank was seen by a rep
resentative of the Morning News, but
declined to discuss the matter at all.
He said, however. that he had been in
the city long enough to see that the
Union Club would win the election. "Of
course" he said, sit is never an abso-
lutte certainty that any man can be
right in a prediction about an election,
but I believe the Union Club will win.
l have seen some of the Union Club
people since l have been back, and 1
know that they are working like Tro-
jams. Everybody is working. from the
leaders right down to those who are
out among the voters, talking Union
Club principles and trying to gain
votes for the club. -

PRIZES AND LEATHER MEDALS
Shot for by Less Expert Marksmen
of savannah Rifle AssociatiOn.

Shot for by Less Expert MarIsme N
of Savannah Rifle Association.
In addition to the regular shoot OF
the Savannah Rife Association yes
terday special matches were shot by
some of the lesser known marksmen
of the association in accordance with
the plan outlined by President F. C.
Battey at the annual banquet of the
association Tuesday night.
In the regular shoot the best scores
were made by Mr. Thos Hunter and
Capt. w. w. Gordon, Jr., who made
respectively Sc and So. The other
match though taken in a spirit of fun
was decidedly worth while for the en-
tries were divided into two classes,
and a handsome prize offered in each.
Also in each class there was leather
medal.
The first prize in the first class, a sill
yer match box, was won by Mr.. c. w.
Saussy. The leather medal went to
Lieut. I. SilVerberg. In the other en-
tries in this class were Messrs. W. T.
Dixon, w. j. Harry and DR.. j. A.
Crowther. In the second class the first
prize a silver ash tray, was captured
by Mr.. T. L. Malone while the BOBBY
fell to the lot of Mr.. j. w. McIntire
Messrs. w. D. Krenson and H. Jansen
were the other entries.
One of the rules governing the con-
test was to the effect that every man
that made a bulls eye must treat. If
this rule was made in derision Of the
prowess of the shooters it missed its

REGISTRATION AT STANDSTILL
Voters Now Being Made at Rate of
Three and Four n Day.

The closing of the registration books
for the primary for county officers has
practically stopped registration. Since
Monday last qualified voters have
been made only at the rate of three or
four day.
The books will close for the state
primary on Monday, which will be the
last day on which a person not al
ready qualified to vote can add his
name to the lists. However, as all who
We're registered for last years election
are qualified. and in addition those
who have registered this year, there
are probably few persons in the coun-
ty, who ever vote, who will not be in
a position to cast a ballot for COVER
nor and state house officers.
The registry clerks are busily en-
gagged now in dividing the registra-
ton into districts for the use of the
election managers. This work has not
been completed and no accurate or of
fetal statement of the probable result
has been made.

BRYAN WILL NAME SENATOR.
Chatham County Promises to Break

Chatham County Promises to Break
Rotation System Next Time.
Chatham county like Efingham, will
have no say in the selection of a SEN
ator from this district, and the plum
will, under the rotation system, go to
BRYAN. L. Gordon Harvey and ]. G.
Moore are the Bryan county men who
are fighting for the honor, and the Sa-
vannah politicians have only to stand
off and look on.
The men viii be voted for in Bryan
county a the primary, to be held on
June 5, and the winner will receive the
votes of the delegates from Chatham
and Ettingham at the senatorial con-
vention. When and where this con-
vention will be held has not yet been
determined. Mr.. James NJ. Dixon is
chairman of the committee. whose duty
it is to set a time for the holding of
the convention, and it is not probable
that this will be done until after the
primary.
The County Executive Committees
will appoint delegates to the convention
and the delegates from Chatham and
Ettingham will, under the rotation sys-
TEN, cast their votes as do the delega-
ton from Bryan. The delegates from

friends and supporters of the success

At the following election for senator
ii will be Ehingham's time to receive
the honor but it is doubtful If she will
land. Chatham county claims that the
rotation system is all wrong, and that
it should name the senator every other
term. 1t is probable that a fight will
he made on this line at that time. Both
OF the Bryan county candidates are
active. and the friends of each appear
confident. The result will make but
little difference to the politicians in

Company Celebrated Its FOrty-hrst
Anniversary.
The forty-f1rst anniversary of the or
ganization of the Savannah Cadets was
celebrated yesterday afternoon. A pa
rade was held, in which sixty of the
members of the company participated.
The Cadets left the Regimental Arm
DRY at o'clock in the afternoon, under
command of Capt. ]. T. West. Among
the men in line was eX-Lieut. w. B.
Puder, who is a war veteran of the
company. He joined the Cadets on
May 10, 1862, when he was but 16 years
old. The company was then camped
near the Massie School. and there was
not a member of it who was more
than is years old. 1t was a company
of boys.

through some of the principal streets.
At several points they received ap-
plause from the spectators lined up to
view them as they passed. Most nota-
BILE were the ovations that We're given
them at the Georgia Hussars' Club
and at the Tomochichi Club.
The First Regiment Band, with its
members arrayed in their white he'll
NETS and white trousers, headed the
parade. The afternoon was cool
enough not to make the marching too
arduous, and the parade was enjoyed
by those participating.
Arrived at the armory, refreshments
were enjoyed. Col. Jordan F. Brooks,
eX-captain of the Cadets, was in the
line of file closers on the march, and
was the guest of the officers upon the
conclusion of the parade

GERS proposed by the Union Clubs
Nominating Committee and ratified by
its Committee of 100 last night The
clubs twenty-four candidates for men,
bers of the Executive Committee of
the party in this county will be agreed
upon during the day and submitted
with the other nominations at the rally
of the faction. to be held at Masonic
Temple tonight.
The Union Club ticket has been
known practically for several days, and
the name OF every candidate that APP
pears upon it has been several times
given in the Morning News. The only
change is the candidacy of Mr. c.. II
Carson for county treasurer. Mr. Car
son. after at first declining the prof
fered honor, decided after more mature
consideration, that he would make the
race.
The Union Clubs Committee of 100
Endorsed the ticket as a whole by an
enthusiastic vote last night, and there
is no doubt that enthusiasm equally
ardent will accompany it's Endorsement
at the ratification rally tonight.
One of the leaders of the faction
stated after the meeting that the club S
candidates for the Executive Commit
tee had not been named because it was
deemed desirable to add to the ticket
some names that had not been consid-
cred.
There are men who have not been
prominently identified with fractional
politics in this county" said he, but
whose standing is such that the com
munity will, l am sure, appreciate an
opportunity to vote for them We
don't care anything about having ar
dent members of our faction on the
committee; all we want are men who
VIII see that equal and exact justice is
done TO all. The election of the new
men we propose to nominate will re-
dound to the best interests of the en-
tire party in Chatham county"
