volunteered his services to look after
them. They Will be displayed from the
flag pole on top of the building.
Mr.. Boyer has also completed ar
rangements to display similar signals

undoubted advantage to a large num-
Der of small craft which enter Vernon

charge of Mr.. j. D. West at whose
place they will be displayed.
Later in the season. about the be-
ginning of fall, Mr.. Boyer will select
a number of suburban points where
cold wave signals will be displayed.
These places will be selected with a
view to the convenience of farmers for
whose especial benefit they are in
tended.
The Savannah section of the Wealth
er Bureau service, of which Mr.. Boyer
is in charge, has recently been much
extended. Il now embraces besides Sa-
vannah. Port Royal, Brunswick, Da-

PROFESSOR SLEDD RESIGNS.
DOES NOT WISH TO EMBARRAss
EMORY COLLEGE.

Says He Has Been SIisrepresented
and That the Attacks Are Quite
Unjust, But for Fear That the Col
Iege VIII Suffer Harm He Desires
to Tender His ResiEnntiOn-The
Latter Is Effective Sept. 10.
Atlanta, Aug. S.-Prof. Andrew
Sledd of Emory College. whose recent
article in the July Atlantic Monthly
stirred up so much unfavorable COM
ment, has rendered his resignation as
professor of Latin at Emory to Presi-
dent J. E. Dickey. The resignation is
due to the attacks that have been made
upon him. but he states in his letter
that he has been misrepresented. He
says he has no desire to cause the col
lege any embarrassment by remaining
on the faculty, and therefore resigns.
The resignation he suggests shall
take effect Sept. 49, as he is teaching
many boys in the present summer
school. The resignation will be for
warded to the Executive Committee,
which will no doubt meet in few
days to consider it. Prof. Sledd's let
ter is as follows:
Emory College, oxford, Ca, Aug. s.
Rev. James e. Dickey, President En-
DRY College, Atlanta, Ga: My dear Mr..
Dickey-You have, of course, observed
the bitter attacks that have been made
upon me in certain of the newspapers
in consequence of an article of mine
upon the negro question. These at
tacks seem to me to be quite unjust
ana my critics have by no means fairly
tod fir,1o re az n r
titude either to this particular ques-
ton, or to our common section. This,
l presume, you know. 1t seems to
me likely, however, from the attitude
that the newspapers and certain of
the public have taken in the matter
that our college may suffer some harm,
or at least be temporarily embarrassed
by continuing to maintain upon its
faculty a man who is even supposed
to entertain such sentiments as have
been attributed to me.
l am of course responsible for my
own utterances, and 1 am ready to
bear anything in the line of misrepre
sentation or of loss that my utterances
may bring upon me. But Emory Col
lege is in no sense responsible for any
thing that l may say or think and it
does not seem to me either just or wise
to call upon the Institution to assume
responsibility or suffer loss for utter
ances that it may not and doubtless
does not indorse. In view of these facts
it has seemed to me best to tender to
you my resignation as professor of
Latin in Emory College. AS to the
time such resignation should 80 into
effect, I should suggest the middle of
September but leave that matter of
course entirely in your discretion.
Permit me to add an expression of my
very high esteem and believe me- very
sincerely yours, Andrew Slaid.

OVER $1,000 A DAY
Handled by Postal Orders in sa-
vannah.


Few people realize the extent of the
postoffice money order system and the
vast sums of money that are handled
daily by it. The Savannah office han
dies an average of over $1,000 of money
daily by the money order system of
orders daily and about $3.50, 600 is sent
the country. The number of post
offices at present exceeds $4,000. and
this number is daily increased to meet
the growing demand of its patrons.
There are now six sub-stations in Sa-
vannah where money orders can be is
sued, all are in drug stores in differ
ent parts of the city. These substa-
lions will issue orders whenever the
store is open in which it is located.
Chief Clerk Rawls of the Money Or
der Department, of the Savannah POST
office, in his reports of his work, says:
The Postoffice Department has SPAR
ed no effort or expense to make it's
money orders simple, cheap and abso-
lutely safe. To obtain an order one
has only to give the sender's name and
the name and address of the party
who is to draw the money. This re-
quires only as much time as is used in
addressing an envelope. All money
orders are at once cashed as soon as
presented, even if the advice has not
drawn on the office named by the send
ers. yet, in cities and large towns,
they can be cashed at any of the
branch stations, as we'll as at the main
office, and they are also often cashed
by merchants. and can be deposited in
the banks. The convenience of this
method can be readily seen.
The department limits the payment
of an order to one year: but this does
not at all affect its value. Upon APP
plication from either the sender or
payee the amount will be paid without
regard to time, by the government just
as it redeems "a mutilated bank bill.
At the local Office an order which was
issued over five years ago was repaid
to the sender. 1t is the aim of the
Postoffice Department to effect pay
ment of orders as soon as possible af-
ter they are issued. In case a money
order is not presented for payment the
payee is notified that an order has been
issued in his favor, and if said payee
cannot be found after a search has
been made for one year, the money Is
refunded to the sender. When an or
der is lost or destroyed the department
issues a duplicate free of charge, which
is sent direct to the payee. The money
order system is conducted entirely for
the public and not for private gain.
In making its orders cheap, simple and
secure the postoffice has led all its
rivals.

WILL TAKE ORPHAN BOY BACK.
Orphans Home Wants to Hear From
Capt. Bird First.

Capt. Bird First.
A letter was received from Superin-
tendent Huckaby of the South Georgia
Orphans Home at Macon by Chief of
Police Owen Reilly yesterday morning
relative to the orphan boy, Herbert
Wright, whom the chief has had in
charge for several days. The SUPER
intendent wrote that he would COM
municate at once with Capt Bird.
from whose home the boy had fled,
and if he did not care to take the boy
back to his home he would make a
place for him at the Orphans Home.
The lad is still at the home of Mrs.
Ben Henderson, in whose charge the
chief placed him shortly after he was
taken in charge by the police He has
conducted himself in a quiet and obe-
dent way since he has been at Mrs.
Henderson's. and she said yesterday
that she considered him a boy of good
habits and of more than average in
telligence. He does not want to go
back to his foster parents in Efing-
ham county, but wishes to go to the
Orphans Home where his 16-year-oId
sister lives.
Some communication will doubtless
be received either from Capt. Bird or
the Orphan Home authorities within
the next few days. In the meantime
the boy will remain with Mrs. Hem
derson, who has expressed a willing
ness to care for him as long as there
is any need of it.

BEAT HIM WITH A CLUB.
One Negro With His Head sewed Up
and Another in Jail,


AS the result of a quarrel yesterday
morning over a trivial matter, Joe
Gibbs is at his home on Charles street
with eight stitches in his head and
jail, under a charge of assault with
intent to murder. Both parties are
colored.
The attack upon Gibbs, according to
Policeman Bostwick, who made the
arrest, was an unprovoked one. Reed
used a stick of stove wood with telling
effect, while his adversary was I'M
armed. He struck Reed three ticks
over the head, infiicting two ugly
wounds and making a slighter wound
on the side of the head.
DR.. Baker was Immediately sum-
moned and dressed the wounds. 1t
was necessary to put five stitches in
one of the wounds and three in an
other. The negro bled internally and
blood ran from his mouth and ears.
The quarrel was over an affair of lit
tie consequence. Gibbs and Reed are
employed by families living next door
to each other. Yesterday morning
Reed was called by his employer He
did not answer at once and Gibbs call
ed to him and told him that he had
been called, at the same time asking
him if he were deaf, and emphasizing
his query with a decidedly uncompli-
mentary epithet. To this Reed took
exception, and going to the negro he
demanded that he take 1T back" Reed
did not do so but, on the contrary,
cursed Gibbs again and made at him
with the stick of wood. and struck him
as hard as he could over the head twice
and then turned and ran.
Officer Bostwick arrested him and
took him to the barracks, where the
charge of attempted murder was
lodged against him. Reed is seriously
injured, but his physician says that a
cursory examination of the wounds
did not disclose any fractures of the
skull.
