CHRISTMAS WITH
THE SPORTSMEN.

Those who spent their Christmas in
the field and on the water in quest of
game had generally successful day,
and hardly any party that went out
came back with an empty bag.
The day was ideal with the excep-
ton of a slightly high wind and every
body reported good time and pleas
ant outing.
Strange to say not a casualty was
reported, and it seems although sports
men were out in abundance everybody
was careful and nobody got in the
way of charge Of shot.
Partridges and ducks were the chief
game shot. but few deer. doves and
squirrels were bagged-but no one has
seen any returns of the bar" hunt

MAYOR DIDN'T FORGET.
Head of City Government Sent CT
gnrs to Police and Ffremen.


The members OF the police and fire
departments smoked cigars yesterday
as they have on every Christmas for
several years. Boxes of cigars were
sent TO each fire station and to police
headquarters by Mayor Herman Myers.
It has been the annual custom of Mr..
Myers to remember the firemen and
patrolmen, and this season has proved
no exception. The Mayor realizes that
the members of these two departments
are hard worked at this particular sea-
son of the year, and that while others
are celebrating and enjoying them
selves, the guardians of the peace and
the fire ladies are working overtime.
Accompanying the cigars sent to po-
lice headquarters was the following let
ter to Supt. Reilly. The letter was read
to the men, who through their chief,
thanked the Mayor for his thoughtful
ness: Il send herewith for distribu-
ton among the members of the depart
ment, some cigars that hope will as
slst slightly in the enjoyment of Christ
mas Day.
The holiday season brings to your
department additional duties, longer
hours of service and less time for So
cial pleasures than usual. The salts
faction of duties faithfully performed
is their sole recompense for this ardu-
Gus holiday labor. In extending to
them all the greetings of the season I
feel that l am but expressing the senti-
ments of the community, and that all
Savannahians wish for the guardians of
the peace both "A Merry Christmas and
a Happy and Prosperous New Year"
Besides receiving the cigars from the
Mayor, the men at the several fire sta
tons were as usual remembered by the
neighbors.

Handsome Menu Card.

Among the many handsome menu
cards issued yesterday by the various
hotels and restaurants none was
handsomer or more original than that
of the Pulaski House. The card was
in the form of a four-page booklet.
The title page showed an fashioned
fireplace. with the traditional stockings
hung before it. In one corner was a
real wishbone forming a semi-circle
around the photograph of Mr.. c. r.
Graham, proprietor of the Pulaski, and
in the opposite corner a picture of
Santa Claus in his most genial mood.

JUDICIAL WRISTBANDS.
Officers of the Courts Made Holiday
Presentations.


Both Judge Barrow and Judge Nc
Alpin were the recipients of handsome
gifts from their deputies yesterday, the
presentation in each case, coincidental-
~ enough, being a cut glass inkstand
and pen holder. Accompanying the
stand given the Ordinary was a pretty
silver tray. The pen holder on the
stand given to Judge Barrow was in
the form of antlers, the judge being a
devotee of the chase
Judge Barrow gave the sheriff and
his officers, each pair of cuff-buttons
of various designs. in keeping with
their respective tastes. Both the court
and his deputies were much gratified
by the remembrances. Judge McAlpin
made each of his clerks a handsome
present as an expression of his good
wishes and his appreciation of their
valued services.
Deputy Sheriffs Fennell and Nc
Cathery, who are deputies in the Court
of Ordinary, remembered Judge Meal
pin with a handsome and serviceable
gold-mounted umbrella. The Ordinary
in thanking them for their holiday re-
membrance, said that he didn't know
when he had appreciated anything
more than their handsome gifts.

DID THE GOVERNOR HAVE THE
RIGHT?

Upon a plea that they ought not TO be
,, made to go into court from Jail to be
tried for the crime of embracery in Ire
dell court. Governor Aycock last week
respited the sentence of Gorham and
Ramsey until March 18th.
1t will be remembered that these men
are the law agents of the Southern Rail-
way who were sentenced to Jail by Judge
Brown for contempt of court for trying
to influence a juror in the case of Long
VS.. the Southern Railway. Governor
Aycock postponed the going into effect
of the sentence, but at Iredell court on
Saturday, when Gorhams attorney pre-
sented the respite. the solicitor made the
point that the Governor had no right to
respite a man sentenced to Jail for con-
tempt of court Judge Shaw heard argu-
ment upon that point and reserved his de-
cision until Thursday. 1t will be remem-
bered that when application was made
ITO the Governor to respite the sentence,
this paper quoted the opinion of an emil
nent lawyer to the effect that the Gov
ernor had no right to pardon or respite
a man sentenced to Jail for contempt
that to give such right to the Governor
would be to deny to the courts their con-
stitutional right and exhaust the judi
ciary,s power to protect itself. 1t is
very interesting question. Governor
Fowle held when he was Chief Executive
that the Governor did not have the right
and refused to consider an application
for pardon in a case similar to the Cor
ham application. Governor Fowle had
been Superior Court Judge and had ex-
ercised the function OF a judge as we'll
as of an executive.
II the matter can be appealed TO the
Supreme Court, and pending the appeal,
Gorham can be kept out of Jail, the
Southern Railway will have carried its
point They wish to postpone the matter
as long as possible in the hope that the
righteous wrath of the people against
embracery and contempt will be abated.
and they can get popular sympathy for
the man who ought this very hour to be
in Jail for trying to corrupt the foun-
tains of Justice.

Cotton Causerie.

The latest cotton letter of j. H. Par
ker G. Co., is full of interest. We quote,
''Irregularity within narrow limits and
dizziness has characterized the market
Throughout the week While all surface
factors including very liberal movements
have been bearish the market has shown
stubborn resistance to all efforts to break
prices Tho amount brought into sight
for the month OF January is the largest
on record. AS an offset TO the liberal
+ ovement exports have been on a liberal
scale and exceed those of last year to
GATE over 100000 bales. All reports from
the South indicate active demand for
spot cotton at firm prices. The lat
ter in our judgment is the strong point
in the cotton situa ton. and unless weak
ness develps in Southern markets we
can see no basis for material decline in
this market even though receipts con-
tinue heavy for ten days or two weeks
longer.
"All information from the South is
still to the effect that the heavy move
ment is due to compulsory marketing for
reasons stated in previous letters Many
of onr reports are also to the effect
that there will be a considerable reduc-

WILL BE ENOUGH.

Twenty-six counties have reported
whether they will need additional money
from the 100000 appropriation made by
the Legislature to insure four months
term in every public school district Six
teen counties ask total of s1S,1S6.49,
while ten counties wrote that they would
not need anything at all. If these TWEEN
ty-six counties represented the average
OF the counties in the State it would only
require $4,000 to fiji the need. but Capt.
Duckett. chief clerk in the Educational
State Department, thinks that there are
only ten other counties that will need no
aid. Mr.. Duckett's estimate is that it
will require sos, 900 to bring up the school
term in all the counties to the four
months term required by the Constitu-
ton and promised in the Democratic
platform upon which Governor Aycocl1
was nominated and elected. That pledge
VIII be redeemed to the letter.
But it must not be supposed that four
months school is the end for which the
public spirited citizens of the State arc
laboring. 1t is the minimum of what
they expect TO accomplish. In all the
cities and most of the larger towns eff
eient graded schools are maintained eight
OF nine months in the year.
Every year number of additional towns
vote special tax one wn-Bellhaven-
having voted for a special school tax
last month. This year ought to witness
an enthusiastic and earnest campaign for
local taxation in all the towns not en-
toying graded schools and many of the
more thickly settled rural districts. Pub
lie sentiment is ripe for giving practical
shape to the campaign of education that
has been kept up continuously since the
spring OF 1900.

points, which confirms previous reports
of rapid marketing and a short crop.
The situation is puzzling at present ow-
ing TO the continued heavy movement,
when it was expected to fall off the mid
die of the month, but it is well to re-
call that the heavy receipts do not al
ways indicate large crop and that the
movement of this crop is still behind that

irregular pending further developments
as to the crop, but we think higher prices
win ultimately prevail and advise buy
