COTTON EXCHANGE ACTS.
Urges Savannah as Headquarters for
Railroad Systems.

The Savannah Cotton Exchange is
wide awake in its efforts to have the
headquarters of the united railroads,
the Plant System and the Atlantic
Coast Line, in this city. At directors
meeting yesterday afternoon President
]. P. Williams was appointed a COM
mittee of enc to cooperate with the
city and any others who will to help
in the efforts to have the headquarters
of the consolidated system established
here.
President Williams was complimented
by having the matter left to his judg-
ment because of his intimate know
ledge of railroad affairs, and incident
ally, with the interests who are sup
posed to have most to do with the To-
eating of headquarters. While no I'M
easiness is felt in business circles about
any action being taken detrimental to
Savannah, it was deemed wise to act
promptly, and show by an invitation
to make Savannah the headquarters
the friendliness of this city towards the
system.
Mr.. Williams said to the Morning
News that while he has not decided
yet what action he will take no time
will be lost in getting the city's claims
to the right persons.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
Were Guests and Liberal Patrons of
the Cathedral Fair.

Savannah Council, Knights of Co
lumbus; were the guests of the Cathe-
dral Fair last night. They attended
in body and took supper. Later they
were among the chief contributors to
the receipts of the booths. Other or
carnations will attend the fair to-
night, and the remaining nights of
its continuance Many CT the military
companies will attend Monday night.
AS the fair continues to receive many
contributions. and to dispose of them
to advantage, there is no doubt that
when it has been closed and it's af-
fairs Strengthened up, it will be found
to have been quite a success, and to
have accomplished in very great part,
if not completely, the purpose for
which it was given

Seems PropabIe That Charlton Street
f, Apartment Houses VIII BE Built.
The alarm of property owners in the
neighborhood Of the trust lot upon
which Capt. ]. C. Postell and Mr.. W.
II. Allen are making improvements,
will be greatly relieved by the an
nouncement that Mr.. David Wells has
withdrawn his opposition to the plan
for the expanded metal laths apart
ment houses. Mr.. Wells announced to
Capt. Postell yesterday that he would
withdraw his opposition, and this is
taken to mean that the ordinance per-
hitting the erection of the buildings as
planned will be adopted by the City
Council.
Finding that the opposition bid fair
to prevent them from erecting the
apartment houses within the fire dis
trict, Capt. Postell and Mr.. Allen made
application for a permit to erect
twelve one-story brick buildings. They
did not want the property to remain
unimproved, and the authority of
Council, expressed through ordinance,
was not necessary to enable them to
erect brick buildings.
The trust lot is that bounded by
Lincoln and Habersham and Macon
and Charlton streets. The announce
ment in the Morning News of the ap-
plication for a permit that had been
made threw neighboring property own
ers into CONSERVATION, as they did not
wish to see the one-story buildings and
the class of tenants they would secure
appear in that locality. They. like Mr..
Wells, would prefer to accept the as
surance that the apartment houses will
be fire proof

THE ANVIL RECEIVERSHIP.
Argument for Defendant Heard by
Judge BARROW Last Night.

Col. P. w. Meldrim argued the posi-
ton of The Anvil in the receivership
case brought against it before Judge
Barrow last night. The argument. of
counsel consumed more than three
hours. and was a full and local expo
sition of the defendants contentious.
Col. Medrim declared that to take
the control of The Anvil out of the
hands Of its corporate officers and
place it, in the hands of a receiver
would be ruinous. He said that it had
always been managed in good faith by
its officers, that everything done had
been to advance the best interests of
all concerned, and that there was alb
solutely no reason why the receivership
should be continued.
The concluding argument for the
plaintiffs in the case will be made this
morning by Mr.. r. j. Travis, when
the matter will be left to Judge Bar
row for his consideration.

1t is not the desire of The CoMET to
charge the Staff with an attempt to
misrepresent public sentiment upon
the franchise question, but twas never
worse mistaken in its life than when it
says the people are 10 to 1 in favor OF
the Brownlow franchise, and that a
large majority Of the citizens, who
have visited the committee, are in
favor of it, and that If the committee
expects to report in accordance with
the wishes Of the people, it should
recommend its acceptance. The new
editor is simply amusing himself. As
matter Of fact a member told The
CoMET that not ONE citizen had ex-
pressed himself as in favor Of accepting
the Brownlow franchise as it stands.
