An Example for Young Men.

Editor Morning News: 1 notice In
your issue of to-day, a pleasant note
to the effect that Mr. w. E. Symons
has left Savannah for Coburne, Tex,
to take a prominent position with a
large system of railroads.
1 know Mr.. Symons most intimately.
For years have been student of
men and mingled among them great
deal in many callings and avocations
of life. w. E. Synons is one of the
noblest specimens that have ever
met--noble, generous. strong. untiring
and faithful to every trust. He is
to-day one of the brightest and best
railroad men that this section has ever
known, and Savannah suffers loss in
his leaving. but for him his going is an
advance and a promotion which hi;
abilities richly merit. Why do / say
these things? Not so much to praise
Mr.. Symons as to encourage the boys
of Savannah and country. Mr.. Symons
was once a farmer boy and began his
apprenticeship on a salary not exceed
ing SO. so a week. To-day he is one
of the brightest and best railroad men
in his line in the land, known and
trusted East, West. North and South.
He has won his success by the genius
of hard work and patient endurance.
There is hope for the young man who
has a will to work and wait.

FOR BANKERS CONVENTION.
Most of the Arrangements Will BE
Made at Macon.

Made at Macon.
The arrangements for the conven-
ton of the bankers to be held in Sa-
vannah next month will nearly all be
made at Macon, the home of Secretary
L. P. Hillyer of the Georgia Bankers
Association. The programme will be
made up there, and about all the Sa-
vannah bankers will have to consider
will be the means of entertainment for
the visitors.
A committee from the Savannah
Clearing Association, consisting of
President Mills B. Lane of the Citi-
zens' Bank, Vice President II. A
Crane of the Southern Bank, and
Cashier F. d. Bloodworth of the Ma
tional Bank of Savannah, is preparing
an attractive pamphlet. descriptive and
illustrative of Savannah, which will be
sent out to the members of the bank
ers' association of Georgia, South Car
DINA, North Carolina and Virginia, the
four that are to meet here in general
convention. The pamphlet will give a
brief history of Savannah. the salient
features being set forth.
On June II the annual convention Of
the Georgia Bankers Convention will
be held. The usual business incident
to such a meeting will be transacted,
and on the next day there will be the
general convocation of all the bankers
from the four states who may be in
the city. 1t is expected that the ad-
dresses delivered on that day will in
clude some from men recognized as
the most prominent in the financial
world.
Nothing definite has been decided
upon as yet for the entertainment of
the visitors, but a trip on the river
and a trip to Tybee Island are talked
Of. The committee will doubtless see
to it that Savannah's reputation for
hospitality is upheld.

For BENEFIT of st. Mnry's Orphans,
May ~.

May
Branch s37, Catholic Knights of
America. will give a picnic at Tybee
Tuesday, May 81, for the benefit of St.
Marys Orphan Home. That institu-
ton has done a great deal of good in
Savannah, has now about seventy
five children to feed, clothe and edu-
cate, and is in need of financial as
sistance to more effectually carry out
it's mission. Such a condition should
evoke a generous response from all
those who are charitably disposed and
desire to help worthy cause.
A convenient schedule will be run
for the picnic. Proprietor Bohan of the
South End Pavilion will do his best to
make the day gala one at the sea-
shore.
Two bands have been secured in or
der that abundant music may be fur
nished for dancing. An efficient COM
mittee has been appointed to look after
the entertainment of all who attend
the picnic. Tickets may be obtained
from the committee and at Z. M. Con-
nor's and w. F. Reid's stores.
In view of the object of the picnic
and the efforts the Catholic knights
and their friends intend making in re-
gard to same it is believed the picnic
will be one of the largest and most
successful of the season.

a Speciality.
The advanced students of the Geor-
gia State Industrial College have been
making study of sociology Last
year Investigations were made of in
surance, truck farming and the en-
ployment and mortality of negroes of
Savannah. They were both interest
ing and instructive. This year investi-
cations have been made on the subject
of the cotton gin, prize fights, race
characteristics and tendencies, indus
trial education for the negro and mort
cages upon negro churches. The class
made a sociological study of Yama-
craw, the private and public colored
schools, business and mortality of ne
groes. Thunderbolt was also studied
and criminology was given its share
of attention. 1t finally revolved itself
around prison reform, and under this
head was shown what the penitentiary
should be. Jails and chaingangs were
thoroughly discussed In connection
with this subject the class visited the
county Jail and part of the chain
gang.

CLEMENT IN BRATTlEB0RO
Attacks the Prohibitory Law from a
Logical Standpoint,

| Brattleboro, May 13.--Over 500 people
| gathered in the auditorium this evening to
listen to the address by the Hon f. w.
Clement of Rutland. Vermonts high IL
cense and local option candidate for gov
ernor. The audience was not made UP
simply of Brattlcboro people. 1t contained
representative men from nearly every town
| in the southern part of the county. Dele
cations were present from Dummerston,
| Putney, Newfane and Townsend and the
enthusiasm which greeted the speaker S
attack on the prohibitory law no doubt
surprised the many Proctor and Nc
Cullough supporters who were present.
Previous to the opening of the meeting the
First Regiment band gave concert in front
of the Auditorium bat its music was not
needed to gather an audience. Mr. Glenn
ent was introduced by F.. w. Blodgett,
chairman of the local board Of bailiffs. The
speaker said in part
1T is the function Of government to con-
troll the individual as little as pOss .ble, al
lowing him the greatest freedom in all d-
rectons, and only limiting his action
where it intcrferes with the rights of 9TH
ers. 1t is upon this theory alone that pro-
hihition can be justified and only when in
Temperance exists in a community to such
an extent as to become a burden upon So
ciety, against which society has right to
protect itself. Such a condition of things
never has existed in Vermont, and does
not exist to-day. Therefore. State prohibit
ton is not justified, even if it did exist, ii
would be necessary in order to justify so
arbitrary a measure, to show that prohbi-
ton is the proper remedy and to show that
prohibition is good for something. The
prohibitionist is in this position, he must
hrSt prove condition precedent to Justify
the remedy which he proposes, and in the
second place. he must show that his rem
edy mas merit"

LIVINGSTON VS.. PAGE
Case Argued before Supreme Court
Yesterday-Cases from Several
Counties Heard Yesterday.

Montpelier, May 14.-At nine o'clock this
morning the case of J. II. Livingston VS..
Carroll :. Page, which was begun yeSter-
day afternoon in Supreme Court, was pro-
ceeded with. Judge Powers in his argument
to-day contenled that the contract in qucs-
tion was not opposed to any law of the
State and so not against public policy.
Roger w. Eiulburd and John Young on
behalf of the defendant argued that no
such contract as the plaintiff claimed was
in fact made by Governor Page but that
the governor merely wrot to have the Re
former publish such clippings as the gov
ernor might send it and expected to pay
regular space rates, no editorial matter he
ing asked for. Had actual space taken up
by Governor Pages literature been sued
Tor no defense would have been made.
Counsel further argued tina the contract
claimed by plaintiff was against public
policy under the common law and SO could
not be sued upon anyway.

H. Nichols vs.. John Tudor, judgment was
a iirmed as the excepting party, the de-
fendant, was not in court and had not
