Companies of the First Regiment
Busy Preparing for 1t.
Next Monday night the regimental
prize drill, to which the members Of the
First Regiment have been looking for
ward with much interest. will be held
at the Guards Hall. Long and careful
preparation has already been made for
the event among the companies of the
regiment, and it is expected that an
exciting contest will be the result.
Most of the companies have selected
their drill teams, and these teams are
continuing their work, some of them
drilling twice a day in order TO attain
the highest possible proficiency before
the drill is held.
The object of the drill will be to raise
funds for the organization of drum
and bugle corps. as an adjunct to the
band of the First Regiment. Instru-
ments will be needed, and the money
raised by the drill will be devoted TO
their purchase. Tickets will be sold
will be entitled to indulge in the dane
ing that will follow.
The regimental medal will fall to the
man who survives the ordeal to the
last. This medal will be
the grand prize, and the
man who wins II will have won his
company a signal honor. A prize of
IS. also, will fall to each man who is
the last of his company team Of four
to be thrown out for an error.
Col. A. r. Lawton, eX-commander of
the regiment, has been invited to de-
liver the prizes, and has accepted.

POTATOES IN A BAD WAY.

Growers Very Dissatisfied with
Promise of Successful Year.
The distressing condition of the po-
tato crop around Savannah. described
in an interview with Mr.. c. E. G. Fell,
which was published in the Morning
News yesterday finds confirmation
more or less complete, from various
other sources.
Maj. G. NJ. Ryals said that his crop
consisting of nearly or quite 100 acres
of the vegetable. was not maturing and
that its promise was most unsatisfac-
tory. Instead of making potatoes, Mai
Ryals said the plants seemed to be de-
voting their energies to producing
stalks and leaves. He has not been
able to account for the failure. He does
not. however, view the situation with
such entirely gloomy forebodings as OPP
press MIR. Fell.
Other growers report the same con-
ditions of affairs. There are probably
more than 1000 acres of potatoes in
this county and a successful crop
means nearly a quarter of a million
dollars for the growers. If the crop is
a failure this amount of money will be
lost

excellent showing made by each COM
panY, and two or three showed great
proficiency in drill. The Georgia Ar
tillery were mounted for the first time.
The heavy downpour of rain some
what dampened the ardor of the troops,
put it did not prevent them from pa
rading. They marched through the
thick of the water.
After the parade picnic was given
at Lincoln Park and was largely at
tended. The proceeds from the picnic
will be devoted to the building fund,
which the colored troops expect will
soon assume proportions that will adj

tent to murder.

been badly cut on the right arm, al
though they had not been able to find
her up to an early this morning. The
trouble occurred on President and
West Broad streets and the Keepler
girl was arrested near Taylor and
Drayton streets.
Patrolman Williams learned of what
had happened and discovered that the

her out of the way. The officer fol-
lowed the woman on his bicycle and
found the girls hiding place. She ad-
mitted the cutting, but claimed that
four girls had assaulted her and that
she was forced to use her knife. If
the Smith girl is located in time the
prisoner will be given a hearing in Po-

orally believed yesterday that Mr.. Sto-

friends say that he has received as
