5000 FOR COLONELCY
GOV. TERRELJs Colonies ARE
TAXED HEAVILY.
ARE IMPORTANT PERSoNAGEs.
JUST WHAT COMMISSIONS SAY THE
AIDES ARE.

An Even Half Dozen Savannahians
Governor and Their Commissions
show That They Are "sOme Pump
Idn'-They Must BE Richly At
tired at a Cost of 5000 Each-Gov-
ernor Has 1873 on His stan.
Georgia colonels must pay $500 for
their uniforms. swords, boots, spurs
and other things necessary to fit Il EN-
out as soldiers. These figures have
been determined upon by committee
of fiy- of which Col Shslby Myrick OF
tits city is a member.
A good deal has been printed recently
about the appointments of Gov. Terrell.
On his stan there are 1873 men who are
entitled to the title of colonel. After
due elaboration on the part of tho
committee named at the request of the
Governor it was decided that each
colonel must put up 5000 for his outfit.
This will fall heavily upon the shout
ders of some OF the colonies, and it is
expected that a few will be unable to
stand the strain and will have to re-
sign.
Because of the size of Gov. Terrelps
staff and the price set upon the person
of each member of 1t, the pertinent
question, What is a Georgia colonel,
after ali?" has been asked. Six Sa-
vannahians have been honored by Gov.
Terrell and their commissions say that
they are important personages in the
state Indeed, Georgia colonel Ia
some pumpkin" II his commission is
to be taken as an indication of any
thing. The commissions which have
recently been issued by the Governor
to his 1873 aides read as follows:
'State of Georgia, by His Excellency,
Joseph NJ. Terrell, Governor and
Commander-in-Chief of the Army and
Navy of this State and the Militia
Thereof, to Greeting:
1--WE, reposing especial trust in your
patriotism, valor and fidelity, do, by
these presents, constitute and appoint
you lieutenant colonel and aide-de-
camp, Georgia State Troops, formed
for the defense of the state, and FOR
repelling every hostile invasion there
of, to take rank as such from --,
for term of three years from date.
"You are. therefore, carefully and
diligently to discharge the duty of said
Office by doing and performing all man
ner of things thereunto belonging; and
we do strictly charge and require all
officers and privates under your COM
mand to be obedient to your orders as
such officer.
And you are to observe and follow
such orders and directions from time to
time as you shall receive from the gov

posed in you.

HIS SCHOOL TEACHER.
Colonel ReviII Made Keeper OF
states Public buildings.

states Public buildings.
Atlanta. Dec. 20.-Col. w. T. Revill
of Greeneville, Meriwether county, was
to-day appointed by Gov. Terrell keep
er of public buildings and grounds for
the year beginning Jan. /, 1908.
Col Revill was Gov. Terrelrs school
teacher. and some of his friends init
mate that this is perhaps a reward to
the colonel for never having thrashed
the present chief executive when he
was school boy
The offices of keeper of public build
ings and Adjutant General have been
separated by the action of the last ses-
sion of the Legislature.
The appointment is not made for q
longer period than one year. on ac-
count of the fact that there is a bill
pending in the legislature the object
OF which Is TO require the keeper of
public buildings and grounds to be an
architect and which proposes to in
crease the salary from $1,000, the pres
ent amount, to $1,000.
This bill was suggested by the APP
preparations Committee of the House
with a view of securing for the state
the services of a practical architect,
who shall be required to visit all the
public buildings In the state at least
once every six months. II will come
up for final consideration at the next
session of the present General Assem-
bly,.

VIII he Given by Gesangverien
Teutonia Dec. 80.
The Gesangverien Teutonia will give
a celebration, concert and ball in Ar
mory Hall Dec 80. ALI arrangements
for 1t have been completed and the
committee in charge is quite satisfied
that 1t will prove a most popular and
enjoyable affair.
The society consists of twelve select
ed voices under the able direction of
Prof. John Wiegand. These will fur
nish the greater part of the concert
programme, giving some six choruses,
many of them with orchestral accom-
paniment. In addition there will be a
solo by Mr.. Joseph Steeg one by Mr..
F. H. Opper and a third by Mr. Charles
Toussaint.
This, in turn, will be followed by the
presentation of musical farce, 1.-THE
Power of Song" in which the cast will
be: Mr.. Opper, policeman; Mr.. Tous-
saint, serenader, and Mr. Steeg, night
Waterman. The farce is both clever
and tuneful and doubtless will be I'M
derstood and enjoyed by the greater
part of the audience despite the fact
that 1t is in German.
After the ball supper will be served
by the members of the Married Wom-
ans Club. The entertainment will be

TO ASSIST PERRY.

Edward Baxter Perry, concert plan
list and lecturer, will give one of his
lecture recitals in Savannah Jan. 20.
This has been decided and Prof. Leo
Mehrtens, under whose auspices he will
come. is now completing arrangements
for the event.
Mr.. Perry will make an innovation in
his programme in this city for know
ing the disadvantages of an uninter-
rupted programme of piano selections
alone, he has arranged with Mrs. w.
Harry Teasdale to give at least two
vocal numbers as a part of the pro-
gramme. Mrs. Teasdales abilities as a
vocalist are too well known to need
comment. OF Mr.. Perry critic says:
Ills lecture showed philosophic weight
of thought, literary elegance of style.

Rumor of Ten to Two for Convic-
The jury was in charge of deputies
Thompson and Hartigan. 1t was a
fatigued and worn out lot of men that
was locked up until it could agree upon
the guilt or innocense of the men who
had been on trial for six days. There
were all sorts of speculatiors as to a
verdict. When after an hour there had
been no agreement it was pretty gem
orally believed that there would be
none during the night.
Judge Barrow remained at the Court
House until midnight when he went to
his home. At o'clock some of the
jurors had stretched out on the tables
and were endeavoring to get few min
utes sleep. There was a rumor short
ly after 2 o'clock that the Jury stood
ten for conviction with a recommen-
dalton, to two for a less graver YER

two going over to the majority. 1t
was of course, impossible to get any de-

stood but the ten to two rumor was
generally accepted at that hour.

IN THE MARKET.
Is Well Supplied with Fruits. vege-
tables at Reasonable Prices.

From present indications the market
this week will be glutted. This is the
predictions of dealers and others inter-
ested in the holiday trade.
Inquiries yesterday elected the fact
that prices remain practically the same,
and it is doubtful if there will be any
change-at least none is expected, but
should any occur il will, in all prob
abilities, be In reduction, instead of
an increase.
The food products are especially
good, and in sufficient quantities. All
kinds of vegetables, fruits and other
products are numerous and bring good
prices. The fruit line is abundant.
Oranges of all kinds are on sale and
bring fancy prices. the amount, CT
course being governed entirely by the
class and kind of fruit desired, and
bring from 80 to SO cents per dozen
for the best qualities, though a very
good orange can be gotten for a lesser
price. Bananas are also plentiful, and
likewise range in price from 10 TO 80
cents per dozen. Apples are numerous.
and are to be had in any quantity or
quality desired. Other fruits are well
represented, and each and every kind
has good sale.
The vegetable supply is all that
could be desired. and II promises to be
better next week. Dealers state that
but very little damage was done to
the truck gardens by the recent cold
| snap, and from now until next Friday
shopping in this line promises to be
lively. The prices remain about the
same.
Yesterday and last night the usual
business activity at the market pre-
vailed and, If anything, it was better
than on previous Saturdays. The
First Regiment Bank again occupied a
place in the building and dispensed
music to entertain the public. Many
were out purchasing. and those who
did not looked over the articles offered
for future benefit.
All In all, next week promises to be
one of the liveliest and busiest in the
history of the city, from a commercial
and business point of view. Many
people put off their holiday shopping
until the last moment and depend upon
the last few days to do their buy
ing. This is the condition existing
now, and unless indications are false
the remaining days between now and
the day of days in the year will be
extremely lively and interesting In Sa-
