POTATO CROP A FAILURE.
Second Growth Has Made Them I'm
mt for the Market.


The potato crop in this immediate
section is a total failure thus far, and
unless something happens will be a
complete loss to the planters. Mr.. c.
E. G. Fell, who has farm west of
the city, made this statement
The second growth of the potato as
1t is now, is without precedent, so far
as Mr.. Fell is aware. and he can reach
no satisfactory conclusion as to what
has caused the freakish turn taken by
the potato plant around Savannah He
has in the neighborhood of nine acres
of ground in potatoes, but has gotten
nothing from them thus far.
Il am patiently watching and wait
insG said Mr.. Fell in discussing the
remarkable condition of the potato
crop as it now is. Il can assign no
reason for the unusual nature of the
second growth, and have no idea what
is responsible for it. The potatoes as
they are now are unmarketable and
are misshaped. What is known as the
second growth begins from the first
potato and usually makes a we'll form
edA and salable vegetable. The first
potato is about the size of a guinea
egg, and instead of the second growth
rounding it into a perfect potato it
has simply attached itself and made
queer looking vegetable that cannot be
put on the market.
Unless the entire potato crop
throughout the country is in the same
condition the nine or ten acres that
| planted will count me- total loss.
or course if all the potatoes in the
country are the same I will be able to
snip those l have in the. field at pres
ent. The people of the North have got
to have potatoes. If the crop were in
the proper condition l would be dig
g1ng so barrels to the acre at this time
of the season. My beans are also poor.
and l will make only about a third of
a crop. 1 cannot understand this for
the weather conditions have been per-
fectly satisfactory"

is BOUND TO WIN
BOTH FACTIONS WILL NOMINATE
sToVALL FOR LEGISLATURE.
FIGHT FOR CORONER, TOO.
OTHER NOMINEES REMAIN IN OBJ
SECURITY YET.

Announcements Made Yesterday Dc
Not show Opposition to Any of the
Court House Omcers-The Two
Sheriffs' Jobs Oner the Best
Chances for COutest-NOt Much
Betting Yet, but VIII BE as Soon
as Nominating Committees Make
Their Reports.
Out of the conflicting doubts and un-
certainties of the present campaign a
solution of one problem seems to be
certain. That is that Col. Pleasant A.
Stovan will be one of the representa-
tives of Chatham county in the next
General Assembly.
In the changes of political situations
every problem is, of course, subject to
doubt, but from every outward indi-
cation there seems to be no doubt that
Col. Stovall will receive the nominal
ton of both factions.
An instance of the feeling that ex-
lists in the city may be properly in
ferred from the expressions of two
partisans of the opposing factions, that
were to have been heard less than a
week ago. One of these, who is a par
tisan Of the Citizens Club, was heard
to say:
"Tll bet you $50 that all three of the
legislative candidates of the Citizens
Club receive the Democratic nomination
in this county"
lie had not made the bet sooner
than it was taken.
I'm betting on a certainly" said
the man who had the other end of the
proposition, in a fit of generosity, be
cause our club is just as certain to
nominate stovan as are you. I couldn't
lose to save my life"
readjustment of the bet immedi-
ately followed, which left Stovall out
of the proposition. 1t was snapped up
with avidity, but it MAS noticeable
with what an air of relief the Citizens
Club man took the new. bet. A few
minutes reflection had served to con-
vince him that Stovall would be the
nominee of both factions. The other
nominees of the factions remain in
uncertainty.
There is plenty of talk of course,
but it has not yet developed with any
degree of certainty the nominees of
either faction Each of the outfits
seems to be waiting on the other, with
the intent to match the men who are
nominated with others from the same
crowd. in the effort to catch the same
class OF votes.
With the exception of the representa-
tives the only certain race is that for
coroner. in which Mr.. John A. Goette
will oppose DIR. John G. Keller, the
present incumbent. There may be
others but none of them have develOp-
ed yet. The principal chances of a fight
seem to be for the two shrievalties-
for sheriff of the county and for sher-
if of the City Court. 1t may be, how
ever, that both of these fights will be
abandoned before they are begun and
that Sheriff Schwarz and Sheriff Hor-
rigan will ride into Office again.

DELAYED BY LACK OF WATER,
DOrmitOry for juveniles Not Yet
Completed.

The dormitory for juvenile convicts
that has been erected at the county
farm has not yet been fully completed,
but it will be occupied to-day by the
boys for whom it was built. Its in
completeness results from the failure
of the artesian well on the farm to do
its full duty.
The well is suffering the fate of many
of the hundreds of others which have
been dug in the county; the flow of
water is gradually subsidng. Where
in the past the water would rise ten
or fifteen feet above the surface of the
ground, ii now obstinately refuses to
reach within as many feet of the sur
face and it is necessary to urge it up
with pump or ram. This trouble is
being experienced at the county farm
and the inability to supply the plumb
ing of the building with water accounts
for the failure to complete it on sched-
ule time.
All of the boys now on the chain
gang are at the county farm and some
of them took possession of their places
in the dormitory yesterday, while the
Others will be moved in to-day.
Supt. Chaplin said yesterday that it
would be necessary for. the county to
do something to remedy the present
situation as to water. The probability
is that an engine will have to be en-
ployed to operate the ram.

RIGHTS OF SOUTHERN
PRESIDENT SPENCER GONE TO
JACKSONVILLE TO CONFER.
COAST LINE OFFICIALS THERE.
SOUTHERN WILL HAVE TRACKAGE
RIGHTS INTO JACKSONVILLE.

President Spencer Was Seen by a
Representative OF the Mornin Z
Nevs-He Said That the Arrange
ment for TrackaSe Will Prevent
the Southern From Making Amy
Extensions That Had Been Talked
AbOut-It viii Not Extend to Sd
vannnh, as Was Possible, Nor 10
Jacksonville, Though the Latter
Extension Was Only a Matter OF
TnIk-Prcsident Spencer Visited
the Union station.
President Samuel Spencer of the
Southern Railway was in Savannah
yesterday. He spent the day in his
car, leaving by the Southern Railway
train for Jacksonville in the after
noon. He met several railway officials
during his stay. among them President
Jthn NJ. Egan of the Central Railway.
General Agent j. S. B. Thompson of
the Southern Railway at Atlanta and
President Hamilton McWhorter of the
Augusta Southern Railway were trav-
cling with President Spencer.
News called on President Spencer at
his car No. 100, in the Plant System
yards. The Southern's president gave
the information that he was on his
way to Jacksonville, where he will
have a conference this morning with
the officials of the Atlantic Coast Line,
who are making a tour of the Plant
System.
THE Southern Railway is to have
trackage rights over the Plant System
into Jacksonville when the control of
that system passes over to the Allan
tic Coast Line on July l." said Mr.
Spencer, land go to consult with the
Atlantic Coast Line officials relative to
the arrangements that are to be made
between the two companies l do not
think that the Southern Will begin the
operation of its own trains on July /.
1t is quite probable that it will be
some time after that date before the
new arrangement is entered into"
Mr.. Spencer was asked if the track
age arrangement would mean that the
Southern would give over all inten-
ton of building its own line into
Jacksonville.
mo such intention has been enter
tanned" was Mr.. Spencers reply. I'VE
had thought of building into Savannah,
but that was nothing more than a
possibility. Even that, however, has
passed, as the trackage arrangement
the Southern will have will be ample
for all it's needs, and it will build into
neither Savannah nor Jacksonville"
Mr.. Spencer paid the Savannah
Union Station a visit during the morn
ing. He had his car moved over to
the station from the Plant System
yards and made a casual inspection of
the building and the approaches.
After the conference in Jacksonville,
Mr.. Spencer said, he will return di-
rect to New York.

officials of the Southern railways do
not seem to be alarmed about their
coal supplies. They do not fear, ap-
parently. that the strike that is on
among the anthracite coal workers of
the Northern districts will affect the
source from which they receive their
supplies.
President John NJ. Egan of the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway and President
Samuel Spencer of the Southern Rail-
way were both asked about the strike
situation yesteday, and neither show
ed any great trepidation They do
not seem to believe that there is any
great likelihood of the strike extend
ing to the Southern coal fields.
1T would manifestly be impossible
for any strike to shut off the coal sup
ply of the Central Railway" said Mr.
Egan, for there are mines along our
line that are operated by those who
employ convict labor No doubt the
convicts would be glad enough to go
on strike occasionally, but they are
hardly able to do so, for a reason that
is very apparent. The mines at Dur
ham are worked by convicts, and there
are others where this enforced labor
is employed. The fiat of a labor union
does not affect these mine workers.
I'm Georgia and Alabama there are
coal mines reached by the Central that
are not worked by convict labor. These
might be affected by the strike at the
North, but 1 do not believe they will
be. The men on strike are workers in
anthracite mines, while bituminous
coal is turned out from the Southern
mines. This may have some effect and
prevent the Southern miners from
joining in the strike"
President Spencer took much, the
same view. He said that the Southern
Railway draws its supply of coal from
the mines of Tennessee and Alabama.
The Southern mine workers, he said,
are not likely to strike.

LAST DAY OF REGISTRATION.
Factions VIII Be Busy Getting Their
Men on Voters Lists.

The last effort of the rival factions
porters to cast ballots at the approach
irg primary for county offices will be
made to-day. Under the rules adopted
by the county executive committee no
one whose name is not on the list
of registered voters for the current
this afternoon, is qualified to vote at
the primary.
The last day always marks the most
strenuous efforts of the campaign COM
mittees to get their men registered
and, as in addition to this there are
always many tardy citizens. who want
to vote but have neglected to qualify.
this is likely to prove day of busy
excitement for the registration officers.
With all their efforts it is probable
that there will he some applicants for
registration who viii not succeed in
getting their names on the list.
The list now contains the names of
about $3.50 voters and it is expected
that it will pass 500 as a result of the
registration to-day. Of the total num-
Der, however, there are 500 or more
negroes and their names will be
stricken from the lists before they are
placed in the hands of the election

STATE B.Y.P. U. CONVENTION.
To Bring six Hundred Visitors to
Savannah Next Month.

Much interest is being taken by
Baptists and church people generally
in the state convention of the Georgia
B. Y. P. T., which will be held in Sa-
vannah June 17-1S-19 1t is expected
that some six hundred delegates and
visitors will be present, among them a
number of distinguished men from all
parts of the country. One of these
will be Ex-Governor w. j. Northern.
Committees have been appointed
from the local churches to arrange for
the entertainment of the expected Wis
itors, for the programme of the meet
ings, for the reception of visitors and
for other matters, and these are now
at work on their various duties. In
view of this intended convention some
facts about the organization will not
be without interest.
The Baptist Young Peoples Union of
America was born July {. 1891, in Chi
cago. where, in response to a call, $500
delegates gathered. 1t was a notable
beginning of a great movement, and
eleven years have demonstrated the
fact that no mistake was made, but
that the movement rightly interpreted
the needs of the Baptist denomination
Since the society was organized eleven
international conventions have been
held, two of them in the South.
The Southern Baptist Young Peoples
Union, auxiliary to the Southern Bap-
fist Convention, was organized in At
lanta in 1895. Its annual meetings are
held in conjunction with those of the
convention and it sustains federative
relations with the Il. Y p. U. A 1t
was this branch of the society that
adopted the Christian Culture Courses
The Union" is the official organ of
both this and the national organiza-
ton. Rev. DIR. L. o. Dawson of Tusca-
loosa, Ala, is the president of the
Southern branch, a position he has held
since the society was organized
The Baptist Young Peoples Union of
Georgia was organized in Macon in
1896 in response to a resolution adopted
by the Georgia Baptist Convention,
held in Waycross in 1895. Seven an
nual conventions have been held. The
work has so grown that at present
Georgia is the ranking Southern state
and holds the honor of doing better
all round work than any other state
in the United States or similar organ
ization in Canada.

A DOUBLE ANNIVERSARY.
ST. Pnufs Church Independence and
Rev. }. l.. Scully's Ordination the
Events.

ST. PauFs Church independence and
Rev. }. L. ScuIIy's Ordination the
Events.
At st. Paul's Church yesterday. at
the II o'clock service, Rev ]. L.
Scully, the rector, celebrated the tenth
year of the independence of the
church and also the tenth anniver-
sary of his ordination to the priest
hood, by giving in addition to the
usual Whitsunday service a short
sketch Of the progress of the church
during the past decade and telling
something of what he himself has
sought to accomplish
AS part OF the regular Whitsunday
service he gave a sketch of the church
OF Christ which he said is 1859 years
old. having been formed when God
manifested himself in the cloven
tongue of flame. Later. he said. that
II is common to hear that "the Episco-
pal Church in America began with the
Declaration of independence" The
truth OF the matter is, he continued, all
the liberty in the United States to-day
was given by the English Church. for
1t was stephen Langton. Archbishop of
Canterbury, that forced King John ia
church also that it owed the habeas
corpus act and the guaranteed inyiola-
bility of homes.
Mr.. Seully spoke also on the grow
ing disuse of the word Catholic as an
piled by Protestants to themselves. and
quoted from a resolution passed in a
recent meeting of the archbishops and
bishops of the Irish Church in which a
similar protest is made, and in (which
1t is also stated that to admit one is
non-Catholic. in the proper accept
ance of the term. is the same as to adj
init that one is not Christian.
Referring to himself he said that the
day was also the tenth anniversary OF
his ordination to the priesthood He
had been criticised, he said. but stat.
ed, further, that he knew his own fail.
ings better even than those that criti-
cised him. Il didn't go into the priest
hood because l thought l was a per.
feet man" he said, but with the same
ideas that l would have gone into the
English army-to do what could fol-
the cause.
Further he said that he is not a rit.
uralist, who is either a person thor
oughly informed in ritualism or one
that lays great stress on it, but" he
continued, Il am a high churchmar
and this term do not resent"
In concluding the address he said
that he had tried TO preach the truth
ard to keep the church free and oper
open to even a barefoot man and q
drunken one may be. Il have tried tc
preach the truth" he said. and tc
make you love God better than ever
before, and to make you go among your
fellow men with love and charity
