MERRY MINISTRIES
MADE MUCH MIRTH

The minstrelS, who played at the
Theater last might for the benefit of
the Chatham Artillery, drew an au-
dience that showed, in its dimensions,
that good show was expected and, in
its applause that it was well satisfied
with the Efforts of the entertainers.
For several weeks rehearsals had
been frequent and wide, judicious and
systematic advertisement of the COM
ing event had been the policy of the
management. This advertising culmi-
mated in a parade in the afternoon
which was unique in that it was the
first automobile procession ever seen
in Savannah. With the exception of
the band wagon and the "dinky'' cart
in which Deitz Clark, the clown of the
aggregation, rode, there was not a
vehicle in line that was not of the
horseless variety.
That the advertising had been ju
dicious was shown by the crowd. On
the first floor practically all the
seats were taken, and in both balcony
and gallery there was a fair attend
ance. All we're in good humor, too, and
the efforts of the MINISTRIES to please
were well received. Vigorous applause
followed almost every number of the
programme.
The curtain rose shortly before $50
o'clock, revealing the Ministries
"circlet," with A. L. Chapeau as inter-
locutor, and the following support:
John Banks, c. b. BesSelieu. Hal Kis-
singer, Emmett O'Mara, George Werner,
Gordon Saussy, H. NJ Garmany, NJ. P.
Papy, Charles Wakeman, w. T. Dixon,
c. A. McCardle, NJ. Myers; ends-W. X.
Brady, Charles Seeman, Deitz Clarke,
Stein Bryan, Charles A Sickle and
Lou Morgan. AS it was a military min
strel show, uniforms were in order,
and those of the organizations of
which the participants are members
We're to be observed. Some there We're
who, though members of other COM
panies, wore the uniform of the Chat
hams. while Others sought the bizarre
in their costumes and obtained effects
most ludicrous. Notable among these
were Clarke and Morgan, whose ap-
pearance elected no little laughter
when they were introduced in their
military speciality.
Following the flight of the curtain to
the flies came the opening chorus. the
ensemble singing Every Nation Has a
flag Except the Coon" This, like

everything rendered, was appreciated,
and following 1t when the applause had
subsidized, you Give Me Your Love and
III Give You Mine,' was sung by Hal
I<issinger.
Charles Seeman was then announced
by the beau ideal of an interlocutor,
Mr.. Chapeau, who present
ed a handsome appearance in
paraphernalia that would put a colo
mel on the Governors staff to the
blush. THE kissing Trust was
Charles 'Seeman's contribution, after
which Mr.. McCardle's rich bass was
heard to advantage in THE Song of
the Light House Bells" Down Where
the Cotton Blossoms Grow" was SUNG
very acceptably by John Banks, and
then Deitz and Louis presented their
military extravaganza, which termi-
mated in the latter singing Amt Dat

Emmett O'Mara sang "The Story of a
Rose" after which Charles Sickle
warbled IF Time Was Money I'd Be
a Millionaire" doing a cakewalk ac-
compartment King of the Winds"

on, who won an encore, after
which Deitz Clarke made the hit of
the evening with his "Bill Baily Won't

Queen of Diamonds. that was clever.
The closing air of this part, in which
the entire company Joined, was
There's Music in the Air.
A number of jokes were interspersed
with the singing, but they were not,
as a rule. side-splitting.
In the second part Messrs. Dixon,
Winburn Banks, Besselieu, Papy, Gar
many and Wakeman, in gowns and
SUPPLIES, sang effectively a hymn, the
stage being darkened. This was fol-
lowed by Reginald Futch, in a song
and dance. The boys dancing was un-
usually good.
N. H. Frailey, the ventr1loquist and
mimic, pleased all, his manipulation of
his dummies, Sammy and Tommy, be-
ing particularly clever.
The closing scene was of a camp, in
which specialties in singing and dane
ing were introduced. There was also
considerable commercial advertisement,
which should in itself, have netted the
Galatians no mean amount.
The performance was to have closed
with prize drill by picked squad of
four men from the Savannah Cadets,
but, owing to a misunderstanding the
curtain was swung down, thus cutting
out one of the best features. That the
ending was most abrupt was noted by
the audience, but a few started to
leave their seats. so the rest followed
suit.

PROHIBITION THAT PROHIBITS.

Talbotton New Era: The question of
prohibition is again springing up in our
town and county since the dispensary
is up again. When can we call COM
munity prohibition community? Is it
merely when we have statutes on our
books prohibiting the sale of whisky,
or is it when the good citizens unite in
trying to stop the sale of whisky in a
place? Don't the good citizens of Tai
bottom and Talbot county know that
the purpose of a prohibition law is to
stop the sale? Don't they know that it
Will not be stopped unless the good cit
liens uphold the law? If man knows
in reason that whisky is being sold il
legally in a place, can he call himself
a prohibitionist if he refuse to take
the initiative in enforcing the law?

from Atlanta, where he attended the
watch inspectors meeting of the South
ern Railway, the firm of ]. & C. N.
Thomas having been appointed local
inspectors for the Southern, as well as
for the Seaboard Air Line.
The meeting was largely attended.
Mr.. Thomas said. The subject to
which the inspectors devoted their
time was putting the employees watches
right, avoiding as far as possible run
ming them to expense by buying new
ones. Where the employees watches
will fulfill the requirement, they will
not have to buy new ones, and the in
spectors believe that few of the
watches now used by engineers and
conductors on the Southern will have
to be changed.

UNDER DOUBLE CHARGES.
White Man Suspected of DesertiOn
of Children and Bigamy.

Under a warrant for abandonment
of his children, and suspected as a big
amist, J. C. Hunter was arrested yes
terday by Detective Murphy, and now
occupies a cell at police barracks,
awaiting the coming of Sheriff Haslett
of Gwinnett county. where the bench
warrant was issued.
The warrant was issued five weeks
ago. and since that time there has
been much correspondence between the
police detectives and sheriffs of Chat
ham and Gwinnett counties. Hunter
was arrested at noon yesterday. while
on his way to dinner. He had been
engaged as a paperhanger at the
Turkish Bath, where he left an unfin-
ished job as a result of the arrest.
The prisoner says that he does not
know why he was arrested and claims
that he is not the man wanted. He
says that his name is not j. G. Hunter,
but Charles J. Hunter, and that the
similarity of the two names is the only
evidence which there is against him.
1t is said that Mrs. ]. c. Hunter is at
with her three little children. The man
arrested yesterday, whether he be j. c.
Hunter, C. H. Hunter, or both, was
married to Miss Maggie Wise in this
city last December, the ceremony hav-
ing been performed by Rev. j. A.
Smith and the license being of record
in the Court of Ordinary.
The sheriff of Gwinnett county is ex-
pected to arrive this morning to claim
his prisoner. Hunter is sure that he
will prove to be the wrong man. If he
is the right man. it is probable that
an even more serious charge will be
lodged against him than the desertion
of his children. The charge of bigamy
has not been entered against him, as
1t is not known whether the same Hun
ter who was married here so lately
is the Dater familias wanted in Gwin-
nett county.

beds. basement rock of Eocene
age lat least 1000 feet in thickness, was

date. The phosphate beds are found
to lie in line parallel with the Gulf

into mass of boulderlike rocks inn
beded in clay sand. They are locally
known as hard rock" and carry from

Another form of occurrence which the
phosphate takes is a series of pebbles
probably derived from the hard rock

of bars. Their proportion of phosphate
amounts to from 81 to 70 per cent.

ChiYaIrOuS Suicide.

Chivalry still fingers in the South

Carolina, went to Paris a few months
ago to be treated for smokers cancer
The other day he committed suicide,
having made up his mind that the only
thing the specialists could do for him
would be to prolong his suffering, per-
haps, until his money was gone. The
thought that his pretty young wife,
who was in Paris with him. might be
left penniless in a strange land seems
to have caused him to hasten his death
He wanted her. instead of the doctors,
to have what money was left. But his
generosity did not end there. In a
farewell letter to the lady he wrote:
Return home and live with my
mother until YOU marry again. You
are young and pretty. Let no foolish
sentiment stand in your way if you find
a congenial mate. Be happy My spir-
1T won't be jealous"
Here is encouragement such as every
young and pretty widow would doubt
less be glad to receive. Many of them
manage to find congenial mates and
be reasonably happy without it; but
how much more satisfactory it would
be if men who leave widows were al
ways as thoughtful as this one was.
