COL. GUILD WRITES
OF THE SPELLBINDER

My own name. Scottish in origin, Is
always a stumbling block, not perhaps
unnaturally, as it is merely the name
of a volunteer speaker who has never
held public office. 1 always answer
pleasantly now to Mr.. Giles" "Sena-
tor Gill" Governor Gills,' Major
Gould" and General Glider" I have
been introduced under all these names.
very modest record in the late war
with Spain, as Inspector General of the
Seventh Corps, is responsible for the
following specimen bricks thrown at
me in the last campaign by various
chaiTmen:
You have heard from one soldier,
gentlemen. let me introduce another.
/ want to present the first soldier to
enter the Spanish Army and come up
against Fitzhugh Lee"
The Southern audience did not quite
know whether to shoot or not. l ex-
planned in time. Here is another:
when Abraham Lincoln called for
troops, and the cry went up We are
coming, Father Abraham, one hundred
thousand men, a blue-eyed boy from
Massachusetts was first to bare his
bosom to the foe. 1 now introduce to
you the first volunteer in 81, Major
Gould of Boston,
l was born in 1860.
A body blow in the Northwest was
delivered in this fashion:
I'm sorry to have to apologize for
the next speaker. (Sic.) We had ex-
pected to hear from Senator K. Moot
Nelson of Minnesota, and Gov. Shaw
of Ioway They couldn't get here, but
your committee has got soldier that's
travelling through the state and We'll
now hear from Gen. Miles of the Unit
ed States army"
/ hope the General will forgive me-
| did my best to maintain his reputa-
ton.
The most terrific introduction l ever
staggered under was:
I'VE have listened to a soldier whose
reputation extends from the Alps to
the Indies. (Sic) I now present to
you another soldier whose name is only
less known than his, the typical Amer
lean trooper who charged side by side
with Theodore Roosevelt up San Juan
Hill was inspecting rations at
Jacksonville, Fla. in a volunteer camp
at that time)-the idol of the army
(Heaven help med, a man whose name
is household word from Maine to
Oregon. Colonel, er-er- (sotto voce)
what the HI is your name?"
When | heard a similar story told
years ago of Mississippfs brilliant or
ator, Mr.. Allen, l thought it was a
libel. 1t happened to him in Kentucky.
| now know it was true-it happened to
me in Colorado.

Years-EIcctiOn VIII Be a Quiet
One-PoIIs Open at 7s24 and Close
at 6,24 O'clock.
An effort is being made by the
friends of Col. Rufus f. Lester to have
a large and complimentary vote polled
for him in the election on Tuesday
next. They recognize that through
apathy or dereliction, occasioned by
the lack of opposition, many fail to
cast their vote in the congressional
election, and that consequently the
vote polled represents a small per cent.
OF the qualified voters Of the county.
Congressman Lester himself has is
sued letters to his friends, asking them
not to forget him. He requests that
each one go to the polls and take his
neighbor with him, and encloses the Of
fetal ballot. Owing to the fact that
there is but one candidates name. on
the ticket, it is a very small affair, not
more than two inches square.
Col. Lester arrived in Savannah yes
terday morning When asked how the
campaign was progressing, he said that
he had not done a great deal of stump
speaking this time. He has
Nays n he

teen years. during which time no
formidable opposition to his candidacy
has been promulgated.
The election on Tuesday will be a
quiet one. All registered voters are en-
titled to vote, whether or not they
have yet paid their current poll tax
to the tax collector. The polls will
open at 7:24 O'Clock in the morning and
remain open until 6:24 o'clock in the
afternoon, city time. Several thou
sand tickets have been printed. and
will be procurabe at the polls through
out the day.
The managers and clerks were yes

County Commissioners to make all ar

Two interesting services will be held
in the Roman Catholic Church within
the next few days, on All Saints Day,
which comes tomorrow, and All Souls
Day, which falls on Sunday, but which
will be observed Monday. All Saints
Day, likewise. will be observed in the
Episcopal Church.
This festival takes it's origin from
the conversion, in the seventh century,
of the Pantheon at Rome into a Chris
tian place of worship and its dediea-
ton by Pope Boniface " to the vir-
gin and all the martyrs.
The anniversary of this event was
first celebrated on May h but the day
was subsequently altered to Nov. l,
which was thenceforth, under the des-
ignatlon of the Feast of All Saints, set
apart as general commemoration in
their honor.
In the Cathedral of st. John the Bap-
fist services on this day will be mass
at $50 o'clock. at and at 9, a benedic
ton to follow the last. Similar services
will be held in the other churches.
In st. Johns Episcopal Church Rev.
Charles II. Strong will administer Holy
Communion and deliver a sermon at
IL o'clock, and other services of like
nature will be observed in the other
Episcopal churches.
On All Souls Day, or, at least, on
Monday, the day of it's celebration,
there will be one high mass in the Ca
thedral of st. John the Baptist, and
probably one mass and a vesper serv-
ice in the Cathedral Cemetery, the
latter services taking place at o'clock.
There will be masses also in the re-
naming Roman Catholic Churches.
All Souls Day is festival celebrated
by the Roman Catholic Church on be-
half of the souls in purgatory, for
whose release the prayer of the faith
full are this day offered up and masses
performed 1t is said to have been first
introduced in the ninth century by
Odilon, abbot of Cluny; but was not
generally established till toward the
end of the tenth century.

played to fair audiences, both matinee
and night. The first part entitled "A
Reception to the Diplomatic Lega-

ever, the effect was somewhat married,
on account of their electrical apparatus
be1ng wired for a direct current, and
the theater being on an alternate cur
rent, and the great number of incan-
descent lights used in the setting were
put out of business. The middle men

of the various ambassadors accredited
to the United States. while the back
ground pictures the entrance to the
Capitol at Washington.

AMERICUs IS LIKE JORNsTONN
Floods Descended and Damage Will
Be Great.

The drenching rain which began
falling Friday morning continued with
out intermission for nearly thirty
hours, there coming a rift in the clouds
at noon yesterday. Duringg this time
the total rainfall was more than five
inches here. Farms lands recently
ploughed were badly washed, and not
few farmers here may have to replant
a portion of their crops. Little dam
age was done in the city except to
gardens recently planted. Much fear
was expressed yesterday regarding the
railroads, especially at points where
the tracks were washed away two weeks
ago. It will not be known for a day
or two yet what amount of damage
from this source may be expected.
Yesterdays downpour kept people
from coming to town, and merchants
and clerks had day of profound rest
and solitude.
