Statehood or Designations

Delegates to Congress from New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona are meditating a dramatic exit from the House of Representatives They are all desperately in earnest in their de- termination to secure the admission of all the Territories. They are hopeful of success, but are not wholly unpre- pared for failure. Delegate B. s. Ro- dey of New Mexico said Saturday: eff the House of Representatives fails to pass admission bills, and thus does rank injustice to the people of the Territories, you may look to see three Delegates advance to the bar of the House together and resign their com- missions. This is the only fitting pro- test we could make against the great wrong done to our constituents.

TO CURE DANDRUFF.
It is Necessary that the Dandruff Germ
 Be Eradicated.

Destroy the cause, you remove the effect" Kill the germ that causes dandruff, falling hair and badness, you will have no more dandruff and your hair must grow luxuriantly. Herpicide rot only contains the dandruff germ destroyer, but it is also a most de- lightful hair dressing for regular toilet use. No other hair preparation is on this scientific basis of destroying the dandruff germ, and none other claims to be, for the simple reason that it is only recently that a destroyer of the germ has been discovered-Newbro's Herpicide, the only hair preparation that actually kills dandruff.

And L. Ii. Matthews, the BicycIist.
Badly Injured.
Mr.. L H. Matthews while riding a BIZ
cycle at Bull and Henry streets yester-
day afternoon was painfully injured by
colliding with the buggy of DR.. A. A.
Morrison The rider was badly bruised
about the head, shoulders and on his
right thigh. 1t is thought that his in
juries are not dangerous though they
may keep him in bed for several days.
Mr.. Matthews was riding north on
Bull street and when he reached the
corner of Henry became crowded be-
tween the buggy and a wagon of lum-
Der which were going opposite direc-
lions on Henry street. The wheel and
the buggy collided and the bicyclist
was thrown heavily.
Mr.. F. n. Harris of engine com
pdny No. picked up the unconscious
man and took him to the engine house
where DR.. w. e. Fitch attended him.
Later an ambulance was called and the
injured man was taken to his home at
Barnard and Thirty-ninth streets,
where he was attended by DR.. Morri-
SON. Mrs. Morrison, who was in the bug
gy at the time of the accident, offered
to take Mr. Matthews home in the
vehicle but the offer was declined.

BIG SHOOT FOR SAVANNAH.
Meeting at Guards Hall Tonight for
It's Discussion.

Several days ago, when it was known
that the state shoot would be held in
Macon. the Morning News stated
that a movement was on foot for
shoot at the Avondale Rifle Range at
Savannah. This movement has re-
suited in a call for a meeting of Off
GERS of all the military commands and
of sharpshooters at the Guards Hall
tonight at $3.50 o'clock The call is
signed by Col. P. w. Meldrim, senior
officer.
There seems to be a general desire
on the part of officers and men to ar
range such a shoot. 1t is not the wish
of any to interfere with the state shoot
that is to be held in Macon next
month. That is to be a camp of in
struction, to which teams of five men
fro meach company in the state are
to be sent. The shoot at Savannah
would be state and interstate in its
character, and would be for experts
with rifle, carbine, and revolver. The
valuable trophies held in Savannah
would be offered for competition, and
would be supplemented by other, at
tractive prizes. Teams would be In
vited from all sections of the country.

HAS CLOSED THE DEAL.
Citizens Bank Secured Liberty Street
Lot for Its Branch.

Deeds were executed yesterday, con-
veying to the Citizens Bank of Sa-
vannah from the Savannah Female
Asylum the lot of land at the north
west corner of Liberty and Montgom-
cry streets. The bank will erect a
modern bank building on the lot. and
will use it as a branch. The bank
paid $4,000 for the lot
President Mills b. Lane of the Citi-
zens Bank said that plans for a mod
ern bank building, complete in every
detail, comfort and convenience. have
been sought from an architect, who is
now engaged upon them. The lot is
go by 80 feet, and the building will COW
er a space so by go feet 1t has not
been decided what hight it will be, nor
has it been determined to what use the
upper floors will be devoted
Work, said Mr.. Lane, will be COM
menced as soon as possible and will be
pushed until its completion. A bank
force will then be established This
force, at first, will consist of two men,
both of whom will be detailed from
the present force of the main bank
Their assignment to the branch will be
in the nature of a promotion. The gen.
tleman in charge will probably rank as
an assistant cashier of the Citizens
Bank. AS the business of the Liberty
Branch, as the new bank is to be
known. enlarges, the force will be in
creased.

CONSCIENCE is HURT
WRONG WINNER OF RIFLE CON-
TEST GAVE UP HIS MEDAL.
HELD 1T FOR SIX YEARS.
THEN TURNED 1T OVER TO COL.
GEORGE Il. CANN.

mitch was Shot in savannah in
1896, When Teams From New York,
New Jersey and Washington Were
Among Those Contrasting Col.

Neck and Neck in m Individual
COntest-NOrtherner Violated One
of the Rules-Made Highest Score
and Received MedaI-Later Joined
the swedenbOrgian Church-COuId
Not Accommodate His Act with
the Rules of the Church and Re
turned Medal.
Sporting, in all it's history, probably
shows no parallel of an experience that
has just befallen Col. George T. Cam,
inspector general of rifle practice,
Georgia State Troops. Six years ago
he shot in a rifle contest in Savannah,
on the Avondale Rifle Range. and made
what the records show was the sec
ond highest score. The medal fell to
the highest score, but it has now re-
verted to Col Cam, who received it
yesterday. The conscience of the
winner of the trophy assailed him and
would permit him no ease until he had
made reparation for what he regarded
as a wrong done Col. Cam.
This match was shot in 1896, when
an interstate shoot was held here, with
teams of marksmen from New York.
New Jersey and Washington partici-
pating. Col. Cam and the winner of
the medal, a very handsome one of
gold, were the closest contestants for
it. The Northern man, however, ran
up the highest score, and Col Cam
had to admit defeat on his home range.
Several days ago Col. Cam received
a letter from the Northern marksman,
saying he had Joined the Swedenbor-
gian Church, and that the tenets of
that faith would not permit him to
retain the medal he had won without
putting his conscience in a tumult Il
went up to the 600-yards range with
a clean score, and the first shot that
l made at the 900 was a bullseye. 1
had not told the scorer that l was not
going to take a sighting shot and he
reminded me of this when l asked him
if he had got that bullseye. l insisted
that he give me the bullseye as regu-
larly made, and he did so. 1 have since
joined the SWedenborgian church, and
this incident does not comport with
it's rules. My conscience has troubled
me, for / did not win the match in
thorough accord with the rules of the
contest. Please write me and tell me
what you think about the matter"
That was the substance of what the
Northerner had to say. Col. Cam wrote
in reply that he would not think, as an
interested party, of advising his CORE
spondent what he should do in such a
case, but that the matter seemed one
for conscience to decide. The medal
came in due time.
Col Cam is thinking of having the
lettering on the medal altered so that
ii may be offered as a prize in con-
test at Macon or at the prospective Sa-
| Yannah shoot.

There June %.

There June %.
Assured that there will be no oppo-
sition to Congressman Rufus E. Les
ter, the Executive Committee of the
First congressional district had a
rather tame session yesterday.
With no contest in sight quite a
number of the delegates did not take
the trouble to attend the meeting, and
others were represented by proxies.
The convention will be held at States
boro, June Is. A resolution to this
effect offered by Mr.. w. L. Gignilliat
of Effingham county, was unanimously
adopted.
The meeting was held in the law
Offices of Edwards & Travis. D. r.
Grower of Bulloch county was made
temporary chairman. Word was re-
ceived from Col. ] H. Estill, chair
man, that on account of pressing en-
gagements in the country. he would
be unable to attend the meeting. 1t
did not take long to transact the BUSH
ness called to the attention of the COM
mittee by Mr.. Gignilliat. He offered
the resolution naming Statesboro as
the place for the meeting of the dele

able time for the convention.
II was determined under the reSolu-
ton that the several counties in the
district should name the delegates as
they see fit. The matter will be left
entirely in the hands of the counties
Each county is entitled to delegates
in proportion to the population or
twice as many as it has members of
the General Assembly. The County
Executive Committee will decide how
the delegates from Chatham county
will be named. and as there will be no
contest, will probably name six from

TRIBUTES TO HAMPTON.
Confederate Veterans Pronounced
EuIOGies Last Night.

A meeting of the Confederate Vete-
rams Association was held last night
in Confederate Hall. Capt. Louis G..
Young, president, presided.
OF chief interest at the meeting were
the reading of a memorial to the late
Gen. Wade Hampton and the eulogies.
Eloquent and touching tributes to the
gentleman, the statesman and the
soldier were paid by men who fought
in the same cause with South Caro-
l;na's heroic son. The memorial drawn
by Gen. John 3. Gordon was read by
Mr.. James w. McIntire, secretary.
At a former meeting of the Veterans
a committee, with Mr.. n. S. Dreese as
chairman, was appointed to draft
suitable memorial to Gen. Hampton to
be read at a subsequent meeting. Mr.
Dreese being at Tybee attending the
picnic of the Chatham Artillery of
whose committee he was chairman,
Capt. Young, also a members of the
memorial committee, announced that
he would read the paper.
The memorial was an eloquent trib-
ute to Gen. Hampton and an interest
ing epitome of his brilliant and useful
career. Upon its conclusion, there
was an invitation extended for its
discussion, and Maj. G. NJ. Ryals and
Gen. Peter McGlashan responded.
Maj Ryals related incidents of Gen.
Hampton's command of the cavalry
corps of the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia- MAJ. Ryals was himself in the
cavalry, under Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, and
it was several times his fortune to be
thrown in contact with Gen. Hampton.
He told of the more than two days of
fighting about Trevilyan Station, when
Hampton routed the Federals, win
ming a brilliant victory, and he told
of how Gen. Hampton found the body
of his son, Preston, who had died on
the field of battle; how the General had
dismounted, kissed his boy, remOunted
and pressed on to the front Several
times the eulogy from Maj. Ryals was
greeted with applause. and its conclu-
sion was followed by every manifesto
ton of the approval of the veterans.
Gen. McGlashan regretted that he
had not, during his service, been
brought in contact with Gen. Hamp-
ton, but he testified to the valor and
ability of that officer saying that such
was his personality that it had its eff
feet upon the entire army, nerving the
men and rendering them confident of
the success of their arms when Hamp-
ton was in the fight.
On motion, the memorial was adopt
ed as expressive of the sentiment of
the association. and it was ordered
that it be spread upon the minutes.

ROBBERS TOOK HIS WATCH.
Negro Highwaymen Held Up Man
Near Plant system Depot.

Nenr Plant system Depot.
A negro named Nat Aiken was held
up and robbed by two men of his own
color near the Plant System depot on
East Broad street last night. The
highwaymen secured a gold watch and
made their escape.
Aiken is employed by Plant System
conductor and lives at Ridgeland. He
had just reached the city and was on
his way to his boarding house when
accosted by the two strange negroes.
He says they grabbed him from behind
and forcibly took his watch.
Aiken put up a fight and at the same
time shouted at the top of his voice.
His assailants became frightened and
only took the watch which they tore
from his chain. The men disappeared
in one of the James and their victim i'm
mediately reported his loss at police
headquarters. He went with the city
detectives to search for the robbers,
but no trace of them could be found.
So far as Aiken knows the highway
men We're unarmed and only used
physical force to accomplish their pur-
pose.
