ODD FELLOWS BAZAAR.
Those of Savannah Encampment Are
Looking Forward to 1t.


Looking Forward to 1t.
The Odd Fellows of Savannah En-
campment No. % are looking forward
with anticipations of it's great success
to the bazaar that they expect to give
at Masonic Temple. beginning March
81 and lasting a week, or longer. The
officers who will have supervision over
the bazaar, are Frank Grover, chair
man; f. H. Upper, vice chairman;
c. A. Vetter. secretary; G. w. Rush,
treasurer; James VanBerschot, general
manager. and j. Z. Campos, assistant
general manager.
The object of the bazaar will be the
establishment of canton in Savannah,
and in this canton to organize and
equip a patriarchs militant, the uni
formed rank of Odd Fellowship. There
is nothing of the sort in Savannah
now, and the Odd Fellows feel that
such an organization would add to
the enthusiasm in the work and en-
able them to extend the field of their
usefulness. The grand bodies of the
Odd Fellows are so jealous of the
wants of the needy that they prohibit
the spending of funds except for the
relief of the INDECENT, so that regular
funds cannot be encroached upon for
the purchase of uniforms and equip
ment. Savannah Encampment, there
fore, will have recourse to the bazaar
in order to raise the necessary money
1t is estimated that from 81, 900 to 81 500
viii be required. The merchants and
other business men will be called upon
for contributions to the bazaar

WORK BEGINS TO-DAY.
On Construction of New street Rail-
way Track on West Broad street.

On Construction of New street Rail-
way Track on West Broad street.
The Savannah Electric Company will
begin to-day the construction of its new
track on West Broad street. In accord
ance with the wishes of the city. the
tracks are to be Strengthened and the
company will avail itself of the oppor-
tunity to improve the line.
The old rail is to be taken up and
replaced with heavier and better ma
terial, which will give a smoother and
better service. Instead of the 4-inch-
50-pound rail now in use, Finch, TO
pound rail will be used. The line will
be rebuilt throughout from Railroad
avenue to Gwinnett street the stretch
of the street the city intends to pave
this year. The overhead construction
as well as the track itself will be new.
The company will change the rail
along the tracks at night, so that there
will be no delay or inconvenience to
passengers because of the work.
Mr.. George J. Baldwin, president OF
the company, was asked yesterday of
the position his company occupied on
the question of tenders for its cars.
''The trouble about the use of fend-
ers," said Mr.. Baldwin, lis that no
fender has been invented. so far as 1
know, that effectually answers the pur-
pose for which it is intended. In theory
tenders are all right, and If a good one
could be had / suppose they would be
universally used. Those which can be
obtained are imperfect in design and
construction, difficult to manage and
frequently do more harm than good
Some one some day will invent and
manufacture a fender that answers its
purpose. and when this is done the Sa
vannah Electric Company will be
among the first to equip its cars"

POLITICS IN LAURENS.
Mr.. Sheppard Predicts That the

Col. ]. H. lEstill and Hon. Walter w.

Dublin. Mr.. Sheppard was seen about
their trip, and the reports he gave

counties want Col. Estill to be the next
Governor of Georgia The gentlemen
reached Dublin Sunday and their stay
was long enough for them to meet
many of the people. The visitors were
greatly impressed by the marks of pro-
gress and enterprise that were shown
by Dublin, and they were convinced
that the commercial importance of the
town is all that has been reported.
Dublin is the seat of Laurens coun-
ty, and the Superior Court was in ses-
sion. Consequently there were a num-
Der Of the citizens of adjoining coun-
ties in town. Politics was a prolific
subject, and the gubernatorfal cam
paign, which is opening up with such
vigor, was not overlooked. The pres

ton accorded Col. Estill and the num-

The majority whom 1 met and with
whom 1 talked seemed to be his sup
porters, though both Mr.. Terrell and
Mr.. Query have their following.
Their strength, it seemed to me, was
not as great as Col. Estills. From my
conversations with the people of Lau-
rPnS and a6 inning counties I should
say they will be found in the Estill
column. This favorable sentiment to-
