the fowls to peck at the bait the
grain is automatically delivered, and,
as fowls will make little effort to get

possible that there will be saving
in the quantity consumed over that
which they might be given if fed by

lanta, builders of the postoffice, court
house and the reconstructed Cathe-
dral; Lee Lewman of Atlanta, builder
of the De Soto and the new Independ-

man of Atlanta, architect of the pro-
posed structure and Mr.. Lee Lewman,
also of Atlanta.

Recorder Shelby Myrick, who re-

Mr.. Myrick that he expected to return
to Savannah Sunday morning.
Mr. Myrick, in speaking of the meet

nothing of the recent trouble in which
the broker had gotten, at the time that
he met him. He was standing in front
of a show window when Mr. OFT pass

Savannah friend and Mr.. Myrick, who
had not seen anyone from Savannah
in some time: made it point to speak
to him. They exchanged pleasantries,
and 1t was in the course of this con-
versation that the former Savannah
broker told Mr.. Myrick that he "a

NO EQUINOCTIAL STORMS.
Heavy Winds as Likely to Come One
Time rs Another.

Forecaster Boyer of the weather bu-
reau was asked yesterday when the
equinoctial storms may be expected.
Not at ALL he replied. There is no
such thing" He went on to explain
that the idea was exploded long ago.
1t is one of those traditions, he said,
that have as much reason for existence
as the old story about the hang of the
moon denoting a wet or dry season.
The equinox is due to the suns cross
ing an imaginary line and consequent
ly has about as much effect on the
weather as your crossing an imaginary
line on the floor of this rooml The
records of over A hundred years show
that there is no more storm at one
season than at another 1t is
true that severe storms now and then
come from the West Indies at this
time of the year. because these hurrl-
canes begin in what is known as the
doldrums, and this is just now about
as far north as they ever get. Con-
sequently a storm having formed it is
more apt to come up this way than
later when the doldrums are further
southwark.
Because heavy storms have been ex-
perienced here in September, is no rea-
son that one shall come this year.
People get notions about such things,
said Mr.. Boyer, and it is hard to ex-
plode the old theories.
There is no indication" he said,
that would lead us TO believe that
there is any storm brewing now, and
we need not look for one until the in
dications would give some ground for
so doing.

The incident happened shortly before
IL o'clock. a negro approached Coop
er and asked him for a match. Coop
er, who suspected foul play. replied
that il he wanted a match from him
he'd have to take it. and asked him
what he meant by asking him for any
thing at that time of night. At this
jdncture the strange negro reached in
his pocket for a weapon. and another
negro rose from a ditch by the side
of the road. Cooper drew his pistol and
began firing. AS he did so the negro
who had just gotten up out of the
ditch said: Hit i'm wild de billy, wy

frightened that he says that he don't

Hussars in the recent interstate match,

OF the Hussars team-gotten up hur-
riedly in the absence of the captain
and many of the troopers-three of the
five were novices. The Horse Guard
team shot at the 200 and 500 yard
ranges, five shots at each range; and
the Hussarss shot at the 200, 300 and 500
yard ranges, seven shots at each range.
A comparison of the scores at these
two ranges, shows that the Horse
Guard made 1870 points out of a posi-
BILE $50, or rs per cent. The Hussars
made 256 points out Of a possible $50,
or 70 per cent. A comparison of the
scores of the two teams at the 500-yard
range shows that the score of the Hus-
sars was but one-half of one per cent.
behind that of the Sea Critters.
In considering the scores made by
the two teams. the fact that the Hus-

into, consideration.

FIREMAN PITTS DISMISSED.
Left City without Permission and
Mayor Dropped Him.

The action of Fireman A. L. Pitts of
fire station No. in getting two hours
leave of absence to see his wife off on
the excursion to Atlanta and then him
self boarding the train and leaving the
city, resulted yesterday in his dismissal
from the department.
The case was taken up by the Mayor
during the morning and gone over with
the superintendent. and the Mayor de-
cided upon discharging the missing
man. At fire headquarters it was said
last night that nothing had been heard
from Pitts and it was generally
thought that he had gone to Atlanta
where he was at one time employed
under Fire Chief Joyner. The absence
of all his belongings from his locker
is considered conclusive evidence that
his departure was not taken on the
spur of the moment as was at first sur
missed.
