TO SIGN A CALL
BUSINESS MEN ASKED TO AID
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE..
THEIR INFLUENCE WANTED
no INSURE LARGE ATTENDANCE
UPON MEETING THEY CALL.

Letters Were Addressed by Mayor
Myers Yesterday to Some Fifteen
of the Leading Business Men at
the City-Care Taken to Select
Representatives of Various Lines
OF Business and Trade-Mayor Says
That Suggestion for This Plan
Came From i. p. WiIIiams-If Ten
Representative Men Sign a Call,
the Mayor Thinks There VIII BE
Smooth Sailing.
The movement for the organization
of a chamber of commerce is taking
definite shape at last. There has been
much talk about such an organization,
but no one seemed inclined to take
the initiative and bring the sentiment,
which seems to generally favor a
chamber of commerce. to a focus.
Mayor Myers yesterday sent uot a
number of letters, asking those adj
dressed to permit the use of their
names in the issuance of a call for a
meeting, when the proposal for such
an organization will be discussed. 1t
Is not doubted that there will be
1IdIly IdNOTdDle replies received.
1t is stated by the Mayor in his let
ter, which is sent out by his secretary,
Mr.. Thomas Gamble, that Mr.. J. P.
Williams suggested that the plan be
followed in ascertaining if a desired
number of prominent business men
would agree to the use of their names
in the advertisement for a meeting.
Mayor Myers hopes for satisfactory
results from this plan, as does Mr..
Williams. They believe that there is
urgent need for the organization of a
chamber of commerce. Other business
men have expressed the same convic-
ton, and it will doubtless afford gem
eral satisfaction when the action that
has been taken is known.
The letters were addressed to about
fifteen business men. representatives of
all the branches of business and trade
in Savannah 1t was desired that a
representative call be issued, and the
favorable responses of those to whom
the letters were sent will insure such
a result
Mayor Myers does not believe that a
union of those desiring a chamber of
commerce with the Board of Trade will
effect the desired result. He thinks
there should be more comprehensive
organization, and that a call, signed
by ten or more representative business
men, win secure a large meeting.

HE BIT HIS FRIEND.
Warrant Sworn Out as Result of
Row at Butchers Cue.

Warrant Sworn Out as Result of
Row at Butchers Cue.
Yesterday was the day after the
butchers barbecue. To many this is
a superfiuous statement, but some NAV
not have known it. There were not
a few who realized what a difference
there is in the morning Some who
drank too much had that dark brown
taste in the mouth; others who ate too
much of the highly-spiced meats suf-
fered from indigestion: others who
bucked the tiger felt weakness in
the pocket.
The only serious consequence heard
of was from Justice Bevans' court.
There late yesterday afternoon Philip
j. Lutz swore out warrant for Lewis
Mallette for mayhem. The complain
ant AYERS that at the butchers barbe-
cue the day before, he. a friend of
Mallette, was trying to prevent a row
and endeavoring to get Mallette out of
a difficulty in which he was engaged.
Ihereupon the said Mallette set upon
his friend, Lutz, and bit him upon the
neck and on both thumbs, occasioning
MIN much pain and suffering.

DRURY RESIDENT INSANE
HAD ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

Frank Hayes, resident of Drury
aged 35, was removed from this city
to the Watertown hospital today. He
was adjudged insane yesterday after
noon by a jury composed of DIR. j. f.
Myers, NJ. \. Gould, Joseph Jenkins.
w. t. Davis, s. j. Normoyle and j. w.
Tubbs. The patient was accidentally
shot in the head five years ago and
the ball was never extracted. This is
the main cause attributed for his con-
dition. although younger brotheE
was adjudged insane 10 years ago.
and it is believed heredity had some
thing to do with the present attack
About week ago the patient became
violent and under the delusion that
some one was attempting TO kill him
he attempted 10 take his own life. He
drank half a pint of turpentine with
this end i'm view, but a doctor arrived
in time to prevent fatal consequences
