CITY OF MEMPHIS CARRIED
11,340 BALES.

Sailed for Boston with Largest Car
go Ever Put on Coastwise steamer.
The City of Memphis. Capt Savage,
of the Ocean Steamship Company sail
ed yesterday for Boston, direct with
the largest cargo ever carried by
coastwise steamer. 1t consisted of $3.50
square bales of cotton, 740 round bales,
and III long tons of pig iron. This car
go is equal to 10000 square bales. The
cotton, its said, was poorly COM
pressed or more could have been load
cd
In loading the vessel, which was done
i'm twenty-nine hours the cotton was
not screwed in as il is when shipped
on vessel bound for a foreign port
Had this been done the Memphis
would have accommodated a cargo Is
per cent. larger than the one carried
The vessel left the harbor drawing 20
feet inches aft, and 16 feet 10 inches
forward.
The splendid showing made by the
Memphis is not only a fine ADVERTISE
ment for the Ocean Steamship Com
pany, but is also a credit to Agent
Erskine. under whose direction the
loading was done. 1t proves further
that the Memphis besides being adj
mirably adapted for the passenger
travel is all that was claimed for her
as freishter.
At Boston the arrival of the Mem
phis with her record cargo will be cell
ebrated by an informal reception in
which railroad and steamship officials,
newspaper men and others will particle

NOT IN ANY DEAL.

Out of II, Says MIR. Dale.

The New York Commercial of recent
date is the authority for a statement.
emanating from a Savannah source,
that 1.-The Savannah Trust Company
may take over the business of the
Oglethorpe Savings and Trust Com
pany, now a branch of the National
Bank of Savannah"
Mr.. w. w. Mackall of the Savan-
nah Trust Company, was out of the
city, but the statement was shown
President ]. ]. Dale of the Savings
and Trust Company.
THE statement contains two items
of news to me-" he said. laughing,
first that there is or has ever been
contemplated any deal with the Sava'n
nah Trust Company, and secondly, that
the Oglethorpe Savings and Trust Com
pany is the branch of the National
Bank of Savannah"
Mr.. Dale said that there is absolute
ly no truth in the ruInored deal, and
that there is no connection between
the Oglethorpe Savings and Trust Com
pany and the National Bank of Sa-
vannah, other than the joint occupan-
cy of quarters.
Mr.. Dale was asked what effect on
his company in regard to quarters. the
possible merger of the National Bank
of Savannah and the Merchants Ma
tional Bank would have, should it be-
come a fact, and the new concern seek
quarters other than those now occu-
pied. He said that. the matter had
not been discussed at all, in fact has
never been brought up.
1t has been suggested that the merger
of the two national banks, if it becomes
fact, may have some bearing on the
plans of the National Bank of Savan-
nah, relative to the proposed building
at the northwest corner of Broughton
and Bull streets. The present quar-
ters of the Merchants National Bank
would be sufficient. it is said, to ac-
commodate even the enlarged force
that the consolidated banks would
need. and as this property is more
available for a bank building than for
any other purpose, it viii be continued
in use. with the result that the pro-
posed new building will either be aban-
doned altogether or delayed.
Mayor Herman Myers, president of
the National Bank of Savannah. says
there are no grounds for any such idea
as the abandonment or even the delay
in the building of the new structure
This matter hasn't even been discuss
ed. he says, and he stated further that
the plans of the bank in regard to a
new building are exactly what they
were before the question of a merger
came up.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

Cent Tried In City Court.

vase AhNOANthS AhFce-tOurtns OF "A
Cent Tried I'm City Court.
Under a 500 bond for his appear
ance, and represented by counsel, Hen
ry Bryant, held for the theft of prop
erty valued at three-quarters of a cent,
was given trial in the City Court
yesterday morning. and sentenced to
serve six months on the changing.
Many a suit involving thousands of
dollars has occupied less time in being
tried.
The particular party who wished
justice melted out to the miscreant was
one Frank Justice, while the miscre-
ants malefactor. who went on his
bond, was one B. Polite. The partic-
ular article. for the theft of which
Bryant stood charged was a sample
package of celluloid starch. But the
greatest refra ction of the law did not
lie so much in the theft of the wash
ing compound as in the attending cir
cumstances, and IL was on that ac-
count the presiding judge imposed a
sentence without pecuniary alterna-
tive.
The theft was discovered by two
small boys who were engaged in dis
tributing the packages. When they
called the negro down. he made no de-
NAL. but threw out the taunt that N
they put down any more samples he
would take them, too. When the boys
threatened to have him arrested. he
picked up a brick and INDUCED in a
few threats himself.
