MISTAKE TO LEAVE GEORGIA.
Capt. Howell Points Out the Error
of Emigration.

Capt. Evan P. Howell of Atlanta
is registered at the Pulaski House,
having come from Atlanta yesterday in
order to be present at the meeting of
the directors of the Central of Geor-
gia to-day. He came a day ahead of
the meeting, he stated, in order that
he might enjoy little outing at Thun-
derbolt
Atlanta is feeling the effect of the
Greater Georgia movement, Capt.
Howell says, and many inquiries of
prospective settlers are being received
from all parts of the country. Immi-
grafton is needed, he thinks, because
Of the number of Georgians that an
nually 'eaVe the state to seek their
fortunes in other parts of the country.
Recently between 200 and 1,500 young
men have gone from North Georgia to
Texas and other states of the South
west, the speaker said, and it is to
take their places that new residents
should be secured.
Capt. Howell thinks that for a per-
son to leave Georgia, is for that per-
son to make a mistake. Georgia, he
said. offers greater opportunities in all
lines of business than are found any,
where else in the country.
Capt. Howell says a number of prom
inent people of Atlanta will come to
Savannah to attend the Oglethorpe
Ball.

BENEDICTINE CADETS
TOOK EXAMINATIONS
Bishop Haid VIII Announce the Of
fcers This Morning.

Bishop Haid VIII Announce the Of
ficers This Morning.
The candidates for officers of the
Benedictine College Battalion Of the
Georgia Cadets were examined Satur-
day afternoon by the commandant,
Col. ]. F. Brooks. There were four
teen candidates and the keenest rival
ry was shown by all.
The first part of the contest consisted
of three-hour oral examination.
Questions were asked on subjects treat
| ed in the Manual of Arms of the United
States Infantry. Each candidate was
put through a course of questions on
setting-up exercises, the manual of
arms, the methods of conducting drills,
marching and maneuvering, and in the
| exercises with the bayonet
After the oral part of the eXamina-
ton the battalion was divided into de-
tails and each candidate placed in
command of a detail. They were
then required to give a practical exhi-
bition of their knowledge of the sub
jects treated in the Manual. Each
detail was put through all the exer-
cises by the officer in charge and all
was carried out under the personal in
spection of Col. Brooks.
The announcement of the successful
candidates will be made this morning
! by Bishop Leo Laid, president of the
| college. The officers to be chosen are
as follows: One captain, two lieuten-
ants, four sergeants, and four corpor-
ais. Peculiar interest attaches to the
| appointments inasmuch as the captain
and lieutenants will receive their COM
missions from Gov. Terrell. This fact
added much to the keenness of the
competition and made the candidates
work all the harder for the honors.
The examination, especially the lat
| ter part, was exceedingly interesting,
| it having the appearance of "a prize
drill. The results were a great credit
not only to the officers in charge of
| the details, but the cadets as a body
| and to their instructors.

LIGHTED LAMP USED
AS A WEAPON.
Louise Perkins, COIOred. Badly

burned in a. WOOdSN1lle ROW.
Because she attempted to stop row
in a house in Woodsville, at 3 o'clock
yesterday morning, Louise Perkins,
colored, was struck over the head with
lighted lamp and was seriously
burned. The woman's face and head
were burned white.
Lizzie Bacon the woman who threw
the lamp, was made a prisoner by
Mounted Sergeant Murphy and gave
bail for her appearance in Police
Court. Addie Richardson, who is al
legged to have been engaged in the dis
turbance, was also arrested and sent
TO the police station for creating dis
order in a house. Sergt. Murphy made
both women prisoners.
In her complaint to the police the
Perkins woman said that she was kept
awake by the noise made by Lizzie and
Addie. They were rowing and fight
ing, she alleges, and made noise enough
to arouse the entire settlement. Louise
claims that she went to the house and
asked the women to keep quiet, so
that she could sleep. She says that
without any warning she was struck
in the head with the lamp by Lizzie.
The woman's hair was burned to the
scalp.

from savannah to Macon.
The directors of the Central of Geor-
Eia road viii meet this morning and
will elect Maj. ]. F. Hanson, presi-
dent of the road to succeed Mr.. John
NJ. Egan, resigned, and will also
elect Capt. T. D. Kline general man
ager, possibly with the additional til
tie of vice president. This, at least.
is understood to be the programme,
though no authoritative information
has been given out as TO what mat
ters will come before the board.
Mai. Hanson will reach the city this
morning. Capt. Evan p. Howell of
Atlanta one of the directors. is here
and the other memb ers of the board,
are expected this morning. 1t is not
expected, however. that the members
Of the board who live in New York
will be here.
Capt. Howell was asked as to
the probable matters that will come
before the meeting. He could give no
definite information, he said, as he has
recently been too busy to keep up with
the affairs of the company, but he un-
derstood that Mai. Hanson will be
made president.
Capt. Howell said he regretted the
resignation of Mr.. Egan, as he con-
siders him one of the best railroad
men and one of the most popular men
in Georgia. Speaking of the road, he
said that it is better condition than
1t has ever been before.
One effect of the election of Maj.
Hanson as president will be that the
office will no longer be In Savannah,
but will be removed to Macon.
The actual operation of the road,
however, will be conducted from Sa-
Vannah as heretofore, this part of the
work being attended to by Capt.
Kline. now general superintendent. 1t
is not impossible that the additional
duties that will deVolve on Capt.
Kline as general manager may result
also in the promotion of some of the
other officers in his department, prob
ably in that of Mr.. F. s. Jette, super
intendent of transportation.

CHRISTMAS EVE ORDINANCE
TO BE PASSED.
IL Police Are to stop Disorder in
Shopping District.

Unless City Council passes an ordi-
nance prohibiting the explosion of caps
or crackers in the business district,
and the blowing of horns, and ringing
of COW bells, or unless it rains, Christ
mas Eve night is certain to be marked
by the usual scenes of disorder on
Broughton street.
These scenes of riotous revelry play
havoc with business on Broughton
street and the merchants complain
that shoppers are run out of the bus
mess district. A petition will be
presented to Council asking that some
steps be taken to protect those who
pay taxes for the privilege of doing
business. But the trouble cannot be
stopped unless some new ordinances
are adopted.
While the shooting of crackers, sky
rockets and Roman candles is forbid
den, there is no ordinance that covers
the exploding of torpedoes or the pop
ping of caps. Neither is there any
ordinance that prohibits the blowing of
horns and ringing of bells, and these
noise producers cause as much trou
BILE as anything else, and probably
more, The horns are blown and the
bells are rung in the faces of people,
and fight after fight is precipitated as
result. Frequently, too, the horns
are used as clubs.
The police say that if an ordinance
covering the ground is introduced it
will be enforced, even though arrange
mentS have to be made with the coun-
ty authorities to use the Jail for those
placed under arrest. The officers real
ize that if they are ordered to main
tain absolute order in the shopping
district hundreds of arrests will prob
ably have to be made, and that there
will be a great deal of kicking by
those who think they have a right to
turn loose" on Christmas Eve night.
In the event that Council takes such
action it is probable that Recorder My
rick will be asked to hold court Christ
mas Eve night and try offenders as
fast as they are brought in. The mat
ter will be brought to the attention
of the aldermen at the regular meeting
Wednesday night.

CONCEALED WEAPON LAW

Police Say That Pistol TOtters win
Be Severely Punished.
1t is the purpose of the authorities to
inflict the full penalty upon those who
are found carrying concealed weapons,
and people who are wont to shove re-
volvers in their pockets during the
Christmas season had better beware.
Concealed weapons, the police say,
are responsible for almost every hon.
icide chronicled during the holidays.
There is more drunkenness around
Christmas and a man under the infiu-
ence of liquor is apt to draw revolver
and shoot upon the slightest provoca-
ton. The police say that all of the
trouble comes from carrying concealed
weapons and that the imposing of the
severest penalty prescribed by law will,
at this time, do much good.
