Mrs. narrow Gave Interesting Talk
to the Ladies.
At the joint meeting of the chapters
of the Daughters of American Revolu-
ton, held yesterday at the Guards
Armory. it was definitely decided to Sc
cure the Lawton Memorial as a place
to hold the daily sessions of the state
conference. which will take place in
Savannah next month. These sessions
will be held each day of the conference,
beginning at $3.50 o'clock in the morn
ing.
The various committees recently ap-
pointed by the officers of two chapters
reported on the work done during the
week. These reports indicated that
everything will be in readiness for the
reception OF the delegates when they
arrive. The programme of entertain
ment was discussed, and it was decided
to make no change in the one mapped
out at the last meeting, which appear
ed in the Morning News.
Mrs. Edward Karow. the regent of
the Savannah Chapter, who has just
returned from a visit to the state re-
gent, Mrs. Robert Emory Park, in At
lanta, gave the chapters a most inter-
esting talk, in which she said that the
Interest manifested in the coming con-
vention by the state officers and by the
members of the Atlanta chapters was
great. Mrs. Karow anticipates a most
brilliant conference. She also apprised
the ladies of the programme arranged
by the general committee, and urged

PINE CHARCOAL AS FUEL.
Is Being Largely Used in Place of
Coal.

Coal.
That pitch pine charcoal can be used
in the place of coal with signal sue
cess has been practically demonstrated
in Savannah, and that commodity has
to an extent supplaced anthracite coal
in many households. The manufacture
of this especial kind of charcoal is
carried on nowhere except in Savan-
nah, and the sale within the last few
weeks has assumed such proportions
that the company which carries on it's
manufacture and sale has been forced
to double its capacity.
Mr.. j. D. Gordon of the Savannah
Charcoal Company brought out in a
talk yesterday many interesting facts
concerning the manufacture, sale and
use of the charcoal in place of coal
as fuel.
1.-THE charcoal" he said, sis obtained
from the destructive distillation of
pitch pine wood. Charcoal, coke and
anthracite have the same heating unity.
l claim that the charcoal obtained by
our process has 20 per cent more heat
in it than the ordinary charcoal, or the
kind obtained from short straw pine.
pitch pine, having more rosinous
substance than the yellow pine, leaves,
in it's distillation, 20 per cent. more
carbon than do the other kinds There
has been objection raised by some to
the use of charcoal as fuel because
of the gases emitted from it. 1 will
say that by the process which we en-
ploy the poisonous gases are eradi-
Gated, and a strictly pure carbon is
left.
1.-THE charcoal can be used in any
place and with equal success, that coal
is used. and it costs 25 per cent. less.
In the past few weeks over 100 tons
have been sold. Already the company
has contracted with plant to handle
it's output. AS the result of one adj
vertisement IN the Morning News,
which cost me a trif1e, 1 sold fifteen
tons of the charcoal"

CONTRACT MUST STAND.
Mr.. Heard Says That the Convicts
viii BE Employed.

President Charles S. Heard OF the
Mill-Haven Lumber Company returned
to the city yesterday morning from a
trip to the timber camps near Rich
wood. where are employed the state
convicts that are to be used by the
MiH-Haven Company. Mr.. Heard was
asked what would be done about the
employment Of the convicts, since OPP
position has developed to the free labor
being supplanted.
Mr.. Heard said that he did not wish
to become involved in a controversy as
to the merits or demerits of convict
labor but that he knew the companys
rights, and that the convicts will be
employed. He was asked, too, If it
would be possible, as had been sug-
gested, to divert the convict labor to
the cOmpany's timber lands, distant
from the city. to which he replied neg
atively.
THE Mill-Haven Company has dis
tributed much money in Savannah" he
said, since establishing it's plant here,
and in the future it will distribute even
more. Its recent contract for the en-
ployment of convicts is irrevocable. 1t
was made with no intention or idea of
doing harm to any class-either mer-
chants or IabOrerS, IN the city. We
are doubling the capacity of our plant,
and our best laborers will be retained
after the convicts arrive"
Mr.. Heard expects the convicts to ar
rive during December. The state COM
missioners have already investigated
the plant and know of the arrange
ments being made for the accommoda-
ton and care of the convicts. These
plans have met the commissioners ap-
prOval.
When asked II there were any man
ufacturing or industrial concerns near
other large cities of the state that en-
ploy convicts, he replied that near At
lanta a brick-making company has
been using them for vaars

zoo Round Bales Flooded, But
Damage by Fire Unknown.
A survey was held yesterday on the
steamship Soperga, which caught fire
in her hold and damage a part of her
cargo of cotton. About 200 round bales
of cotton were flooded. 1t is not known
yet to what extent they were damaged

that the damaged cargo be discharged
upon lighters and removed to some
place of safety for further inspection.
Inc board consisted of A. L. Earle.

G.. Caflero.
The fire aboard the steamer was dis
covered by John Kenny, the watch
man, and fireman, member of the
crew, who were guarding her. A 20

Programme Not to Be Arranged
Until Later.
The Crittenton Mission Home for fall
len women will not be opened at once,
as had been planned. This was decid-
ed last night at a meeting of the
Board of Control. The meeting. which
was held in the Lawton Memorial, was
attended by three ladies, directresses
of the Woman's Auxiliary of the in
stitution and also by Mrs. Kate w.
Barrett, national head of the Critten-
ton homes.
Mrs. Barrett reached Savannah yes
terday afternoon, to explain phases of
the work, to consult with those inter-
ested in the local home about details,
and in other ways to put the movement
in such shape as will assure of an in
telligent and successful conduct once
it is started.
To Improve the Home.
The postponement of the opening of
the home was decided on in order to
allow of certain repairs and improve
ments being made to wellington" the
house and estate near Thunderbolt,
where the work is to be installed.
These repairs and improvements will
consist of the addition of a room or
two, including a bath room and hos
pital department.; the installation of
water works and the repainting of such
parts of the premises as may need it..
The desire and the intention of those
interested is to put the home in COM
plete and first-class order in every de-
partment.
At this meeting Mrs. Barrett made
an interesting talk on the work; she
will speak again to a meeting of the
Woman's Auxiliary, which is to be held
in Wesley Monumental Church to-
morrow afternoon at 4:3O o'clock, and
at~which the members of the auxiliary
request the attendance of all the ladies
that are interested in the work. The
ladies further ask that this announce
ment be made from all the pulpits to-
day.
With Religious Service.
OF course, there will be religious
ceremony at the opening of the home,
but the programme has not yet been
decided on, not even considered, for it
is felt that the main thing at preNnt
is to get the home ready for occupany
and then settle the details afterward.
The meeting last night was well at
tended and the great interest mani
tested in the subject for which it was
called is an excellent augury of a con-
tinued and active interest that prom

SAY SALE WAS FRAUDULENT.

Want Property ResOId and Pro-

Through a petition filed yesterday in
the Superior Court by four former
members of the Walters Grand Union
Society against j. 1. Suares, and 9TH
ers, the petitioners are endeavoring to
have sale of certain property to
Suares a short while ago, set aside.
They allege that the sale was fraudu-
lent, in that whereas the vendors rep
resented that the society concurred in
the sale, it was then, and had for a
long time been defunct
They allege that Suares was aware
of these facts, and was therefore not
an innocent purchaser, and ask that
he be enjoined from disposing of the
property, and that the court appoint
a commissioner to sell it, and apportion
the proceeds among the former mem
bers of the society. The petition was
filed by Beckett e. Beckett.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS.
How Some People Adopt queer
Ways of Replying to Them.

There are many ways of answering
questions, and some of them are quite
unique. Now and then questions are
answered at the doors of offices, for
example, when agents call to offer
books for sale the inquiry whether
books are wanted within is frequently
answered by big placaTd at the door.
1t is not often that questions are an
swered by look at the general sur
roundings, yet that is the way Logan
replies to them. Ask him how's bus
mess and he points to the crowds
focked about his stalls to be waited
upon. That tells which way the wind
is blowing. The people trade with
him because he deals fairly, and fur
nishes them only the best there u.s. If
