WITH DEER AND FISH.
Judges, Solicitors and Attorneys Re-
turn From Their Trip.

The judges, solicitors and practition-
ers, who have been hunting deer on
ST. GATHERINGS Island, returned to the

spoils of the chase. four fine deer. They
also brought several big strings IF FISH.
They report a most enjoya ole and sue

MADE HIM NO OFFER
NAVAL STORES COMBINE HASN'T
APPROACHED j. p. WILLIAMS.
HASN'T BEEN ASKED TO JOIN.
WOULD DELIGHT MANY IF THE
PLAN WERE NOT CARRIED OUT.

The Proposed $2,O0O,OOO COmbina-
ton Is Viewed with Scnnt Favor
by Many Naval stores Men in Sa-
Nnnnah-This Port Would Suffer
Greatly Through Such "a COmbina-
tion-It Is Asserted That the Com
bine Would Be Practically n Trust.
After Getting the FactOrage Bust
ness, 1t Would, 1t Is Declared,
Turn to Exports.
A very considerable percentage of
the naval stores interests of this sec
ton seems to have been left out of the
alleged 100000 combine. Mr.. ]. P.
Williams said yesterday he had never
been approached to join it.
Mr. Williams seemed to be very
doubtful if any combination of the
kind was actually in prospect.
Il was talking to-day" he said,
with one of the men who is said to
be interested in the project, and he
did not seem to know anything about
it. At any rate he did not say any
thing about it to me-"
The j. 2. Williams Company is one
of the largest naval stores concerns in
existence, and the fact that it's repre-
sentatives have not been consulted
serves to cast doubt upon the actual
ity of the combination The indications
would point to MIR. Williams as one of
the first to whom the project would be
carried.
1t will be to the sincere delight of
many of those interested in the naval
stores situation if the projected COM
bination Is never effected. There have
been fears and forebodings expressed
ever since the statement came from
Jacksonville that there was a plan
afoot for the formation of so large a
company.
The company, if 1t is organized, is
looked to to leave little room for other
factorage concerns. In fact, the adj
vances that have been made to some
of the firms of factors would indicate
that it is the purpose of the promoters
to absorb the business.
From conducting the lions share o.
the factors business of the naval
stores section, it is asserted that it
would be but a little while before the
company would direct its at
tention to exporting, stepping in. to
the confusion of the present exporters
and making a bid for their business.
THE company would hardly rest
content with acting as a factor" said
a naval stores man yesterday. "If it
is organized and conducted upon the
scale that so large a capital would
seem to claim for it. it will be prac-
tically a trust, and the great volume
of the factorage business will be done
by it. The naval stores situation will
be practically in it's hands, and it
would seem to follow inevitably that
the export field will be invaded.
The organization of such a company
and it's operation through other ports
would be a tremendous detriment to
Savannah. This city's cotton trade
is talked of as being so enormous, but
the through routing of cotton has cut
down the port charges, so that very
much money Is not made in handling
bale of cotton. The naval stores trade
of the port is SO heavy that the charges
growing out of handling the products
at the port are enormous. The blow
will be a sad one for Savannah if any
combination takes away this business"

RANGE FOR BIRMINGHAM.
How the Military of That City Is
Going to Work.

The looked-for results of the Inter
vannah are beginning to appear. The
Mayor and some fifty of the represen-
tative men of Birmingham have be-
come interested in the construction of
a rifle range near that city, and it is
said that the project will be pushed to
successful completion.
Capt. Walter E. Coney of this city
has been appealed to by the Birming-
ham officers for some information rel
alive to the Savannah range. They
wrote that they wanted to model their
range after Savannah's. To this Capt
Coney replied, advising that they I'M
dertake no such comprehensive plan
just at present. They answered to
this, however, that they are ready to
build the whole thing" now. The in
formation was given by Capt Coney.
The Birmingham officers are making
a departure from the usual course fol-
lowed in the establishment of rifle
range. The police department of the
city and the sheriff's forces will be
allowed the use of the range in order
that craftsmanship may be improved.
BY this concession the aid of the city
and of the county has been enlisted.
The shoot, as stated, is bearing early
fruit. 1t was the hope of the Savan-
nah officers who interested themselves
in the Interstate Shoot that it might
result in the construction of rifle
ranges in the South. I'he declarations
of a number of the visiting officers,
those from Birmingham among them,
indicated very clearly this hope of the
Savannahians is to be realized

DATA OF DRY DOCK
CONSIDERED AT MEETING OF THE
SAVANNAH ORGANIZERS.
DIMENSIONS OF THE DOCK.
now 1T is PROPOSED TO BUILD
THE BIG PLANT.

Location Not Yet Settled UpOn-It Is
proposed to Invite Others Interest
ed in the welfare of Savannah to
Participate in the Enterprise.
VIII Be a Craving Dock, 600 Feet
Long-Its Machine and Repair
shops Will Be Equipped with the
Latest Appliances.
A meeting of the incorporators of
the Savannah Dry Dock and Ship
Building Company was held at the
National Bank of Savannah yesterday.
The plan of the proposed plant, and
the estimated cost thereof, were dis
cussed. Much interesting data con-
corning dry docks and ship repairing
was presented.
The dimensions of the proposed dock
are as follows: Length, 600 feet;
width at top, 100 feet; width at bot
tom, so feet; width at entrance, SO
feet; draft of water, &c feet.
Several sites were suggested but
nothing definite was arrived at. In
fact, in that matter, there can be no
decision until the company is fully
organized.
In the interesting data which was
looked over were photographs of the
docks at Newport News and Ports
mouth, Va. The proposed dock in this
port will be what is known as a gray
ing dock and not a floating dock. 1t
will have the latest appliances in
pumps and other apparatus Its ma
chine and other repair shops will have
the latest make of machinery.
Before the company's organization
it is proposed to have every citizen
who is interested in the up-building of
the port take a part in the project.
Another meeting will be held in a few
days. The enterprise is meeting with
a hearty endorsement, not only in Sa-
vannah, but abroad. and the necessity
for a dry dock being unusually recog-
nized.

UNIFORMS FOR INSPECTORS.
Mayor Myers Snys Something May
BE Done Along This Line.

Mayor Myers Says Something May
BE Done Along This Line.
Mayor Myers said yesterday that the
failure of Mrs. T. j. Grice to identify
any of the city inspectors as the man
who insulted her last week, when he
called at her home, No. 427 Tattnall
street, seemed to demonstrate conclu-
sively that no member of the city's
force was the offender. The Mayor
has taken no action in the matter. No
complaint was made to him, though
the matter was brought to his atten-
ton. He would have dealt summarily,
however. with. any member of the in
spection force upon whom the offense
might have been fixed. There is
feeling of general satisfac;io about
the City Exchange in the demonstra-
tion that none of the employees was
guilty of the conduct of which Mrs.
Grice complained.
Something may be done to prevent
the recurrence of such a complaint"
said the Mayor. THE inspec ors for
the city, particularly those of the SAN
itary department, should be uniformed
and should wear suitable badges. So
equipped, there could be no question
as to their identity. 1t might be seen
at a glance that they were what they
protested to be-"
1t is said that the inspectors will
not take kindly to the uniforms, if
they have to wear them. If the city
authorities determine that it would
be well to have the inspectors so ar
rayed, however, there will be nothing
for the latter to do save submit.
II believe the uniforms would be an
aid to the inspectors in their work, .
said a member of the sanitary depart
ment There are many of the lowest
classes with whom they have to come
in contact and their authority would
be increased by the mere fact that
they wore a uniform. The uniform
would have it's effect"

QUEST OF THE CANUCKS.
The Governments Earnest Efforts
to Capture Greene and GaynOr.

10 anu
The government quest of Greene and
Gaynor is one of the subjects of con-
tinued interest to Savannahians. While
the matter seems now in rather a
hopeless plight, the government Off
Gals are not discouraged and expect
yet to be able to bring the defendants
back to Savannah and to justice.
One matter of interest in connection
with the case is the probable course
the government will pursue as to Ed
and Will Gaynor who are now ct lib
erty under $4,000 bonds. 1t will be
remembered that these young men
were in Savannah and ready to stand
trial when the eldest Gaynor and
Greene first gave the government the
slip. The evidence that has been so
far adduced does not indicate that
they are very guilty parties, and it
is generally believed that, as to them,
District Attorney Erwin will be dis
posed to be lenient.
Ed and Will Gaynor will probably
be here when the United States Dis
trict Court convenes in November.
Whether Greene and John Gaynor will
be with them is the question the gov
eminent officers are now making siren
uous efforts to solve.

HOLIDAYS OF THE JEWS.
New Year and the Day of Atone
ment Approaching.

The Jewish new year falls on Oct.
this year. This day will be observed
by all Jews. though the orthodox Jews
will observe the third day of the month
also. The observance of both days is
occasioned through an uncertainty as
to which is the right day of the two,
and the orthodox Jews, rather than
observe the wrong day, observe both.
The Jewish year does not commence
at the same time each year, as does
the Christian year. there being twelve
lunar months in the common year and
thirteen in the leap year. For this
reason there are many Jews who can
not say, without making inquiry, on
what day the new year will start.
The new year will be known as 1868
A. NJ, or ancient time In Hebrew the
New Year is called Tishree Rosh Has
hanah. Saturday, oct. IL, is the feast
of Yom Kippur. or the Day of Atone
ment On this day, as well as on New
Years day. all establishments conduct
ed by Jews will be closed and the oc-
casions will be observed as holidays.
On Oct. 16 the eight days of the tab
ernacle commence. While the Ortho-
dox Jews observe all eight days, the
reform Jews celebrate only the first
and last day of the tabernacle. Dur
ing the eight days of the tabernacle
some orthodox Jews live in booths
constructing houses Of tree limbs and
bush and leaves, and living in the open
air where the consultations can be
observed from their cots. This is to
commemorate the passing of the chill
dren of Israel through the wilder
ness. The seventh day of the taber-
nacle is known as Hoshanah Rabah
On that day blessings and prayers
are offered to plants. trees. flowers,
etc. The last day Of the tabernacle.
observed by all alike. is called
Sheminu Aseret and many observe
this day as q holiday
1t is the custom among the Jews to
read a certain pertain of the Bible
upon each Sabbath day. Among the
orthodox Jews the Bible is read
through each year, while among the
reform Jews the reading occupies three
years. Friday Get. "a, is Simhat
Torah, or the day of the charging
of the law and on this day the read
ing of the Bible is completed.
New Years day and the feast of Yom
Kippur will be generally observed, SER
vice being held in the synagogues.
