Usual Large Crowd Heard the Excel
lent Programme Rendered.
The usual large crowd was attracted
to the Park Extension by the concert
of the First Regiment Band last night.
The bandstand was found available, as
the arc light suspended there was in
condition to burn. The results were
better than on last Friday night, when
no light could be had in the stand,
and the band was compelled to read
notes by the light nearby.
Having the glare of the arc light in
the bandstand was not an unalloved
pleasure for the bandsmen. however.
for bugs of many kinds and sizes were
attracted. These literally covered the
musicians, interfering greatly with
their equanimitY and peace of mind.
1t was interesting to the crowd, many
of whom could see the clouds of in
sects about the bandsmen to speculate
upon the length of time a band of
women performers would have sub
mitted to such familiarities as the bugs
were practicing.
Aldermen Jones and Garfunkel, who
are members of the Special Band Com
mittee of the City Council were among
those who heard the music, which gave
general satisfaction. The following
was the programme rendered under the
direction of Conductor I. H. Gordon.
March, Dreamy Eyes" (Lampe).
Overture, Irish Melodies (VoltD.

SONS AND DAUGHTERS ROW.
Court Asked to Decide Between Fac
tions of FraternaI Order.

One of the amusing matters of liti-
cation in which the members of col
ored fraternal and benevolent orders
so frequently engage was settled in the
Superior Court yesterday, when Rich
ard Washington and others, members
of 1.-THE Sons and Daughters of Jacob"
were given judgment against the
Southern Bank of the State of Georgia
for s17S.94, besides $2.71 interest.
The money had been originally de-
posted in the savings department of
the bank by Mary Randolph, treasurer
of the Sons and Daughters, but upon
a disagreement arising between her
and the other members of the order
an effort was made by the latter to
draw out the money for themselves.
This effort Mary disputed and the
bank was left perched between the
horns of an unpleasant dilemma. When
the suit against it was brought in the
Superior Court the bank in its an
swer asked the court to decide between
the conflicting claims and direct it to
which of the contending parties it
should pay the amount in dispute.
The jury decided without much trou-
BILE that the fund should be paid to
the plaintiffs, but it directed at the
same time that the plaintiffs should
pay the costs of court and also $25 in
counsel fees to the defendant. These
directions were expressed in the order
of Judge Barrow.

CHANGE IN REPORTS.

New Rule to Spirits Turpentine
At meeting of the Committee on
Statistics at the Board of Trade yes
terday it was decided to officially re-
port the receipts of turpentine separ-
ately hereafter, with the net receipts
by factors separate from those from
Jacksonville, Tampa, Fernandina and
other ports.
The idea is to report the net and
gross receipts separately. Such as
come to factors direct from the coun-
try are the net receipts, and those re-
ceived first at other ports South. where
they are recounted and reported, and
then shipped here, are the gross re-
ceipts as reported at Savannah
This will make a difference, for to-
days net receipts were 1472. and the
gross 1924 with the total for the day
as reported at the Board of Trade be-
ing 5,169 The reason for making this
distinction is that the receipts have an
important influence upon the market.
and would have a much more inf1uen-
tial one were the gross receipts count
ed along with the net. The Importance
of making this distinction is that the
entire of the interior trade upon the
basis of Savannah prices. and it is de-
sirable to have the market advanced
only upon legitimate influences.

PRACTICE ON THE RANGE.
Military Putting in Lively Work mt
the Targets.

There is rifle practice every after
noon at the Avondale range by the
military organizations. The practice is
induced not only by the desire of the
men to become sharpshooters and
marksmen, but also by the desire to
get on their company teams for the
interstate meet in August Since it has
been definitely decided that the meet
is to take place. and arrangements are
well under way, the interest has be-
come more manifest.
1t is desired by each company to be
represented by at least one team. Be-
sides the regular company team there
Will be novice team, composed of all
men who have not prior to this season
qualified as sharpshooters and marks
men. Some good scores have been
made by the new men, and it is ex-
pected that the members of the novice
class will make fine showing.
Every afternoon the Thunderbolt
cars carry out large number of the
members of the various commands.
Beginning al an early hour, as early as
O'Clock. the range presents a scene
of activity The rifiemen begin then to
MI the range, and one by one the tar
gets are placed in position, and by )
o'clock nearly every target on the
range is being used. Nor do the men
cease practicing until they are COM
PEELED by the fading light. Then there
is scramble for seats on the incom-
ing cars and it is not unusual for one
of these ambitious rifiemen, gun in
hand. to stand on the running board
of the car all the way to the city.
