ANOTHER SUIT FROM
EVERGREEN DISASTER

The second suit as the outcome of
the wreck at Evergreen last March on
the Seaboard Air Line Railway has
been instituted in the Superior Court,
the complainant being Mack Scott,
the fireman on the engine which was
wrecked, who claims that he was
damaged by personal injuries to the
extent of $4,000 The first suit it will
be remembered, was instituted by En-
g1neer Pearce's widow, who sues for
100000.
The complainant alleges that at the
time the train ran into the open
switch, it was going at rate of
seventy miles an hour. He says that
he was caught between the tank and
the engine and badly mashed and
bruised. AS a result he has a hernia,
and is in other ways incapacitated
from work. 1t is alleged that the
company was negligent IN that it left
the switch open. No mention is made
of Buddie Ryals, the small boy, who,
1t is alleged, turned the switch.
Both cases are returnable to the
next term of court. The fireman is
represented by w H. Boyd.

NOT BANKRUPTCY SUIT
IN MORE THAN MONTH.

Counties in south Georgia Have
Not Averaged One in 4 Weeks.
There is, probably no more potent
sign of prosperity than the absence of
bankruptcy proceedings in the United
States District Court By this critic
rion it will be found that South Geor-
gia is enjoying its greatest era of pros
perity since the institution of the bank
ruptcy court.
1t is a remarkable fact that within
the past five weeks not a single pro-
ceeding. voluntary or involuntary. has
been instituted in the United States
District Court for the Eastern Divi-
sion Of the Southern District of Geor-
gia. This record is Unprecedented.
But the condition is general in the
entire Southern Division. In the new
~ created Va}dosta or Southwestern
Division, which is comprised of twelve
of the largest counties in South Geor-
gia. there have been less than a dozen
suits filed this year. In other words
there has been, within the last six
months al average of but one suit in
in each of the counties.
This condition, while indicative of a
healthier state of finances in this sec
ton, is looked upon with great concern
by the clerks. who depend upon the
emOluments of the Office for their in
come. However the business in the
other departments is looking up. and
the receipts of the Offices are just
little better, on the whole, than for
some time past

Night-The Inspection of OgIe-

In All Respects satisfactory.
With the inspection of the three re-
naming local commands of the First
Regiment of Infantry last night the
work of Maj. Francis H. French,
United States inspector of Georgia
State Troops, was completed. so far as
the Savannah military is concerned.
The inspection entailed a great deal of
preparation, and the company COM
manders are glad that it is finished.
Maj. French leaves to-day for Jesup.
He will visit all of the towns and cities
in South Georgia where military COM
mands are situated before beginning
the work of inspecting the companies
in the northern section of the state.
He has recommended the appointment
of another inspector, who. it is sup
posed. will begin the work of inspection
in the northern part of the state before
Maj. French's duties in this section are
completed.
A Favorable Showing.
The inspection of the Savannah mill
tary reflected credit upon the officers
and men, and it is expected that it will
make a most favorable showing, in
connection with the reports of the 9TH
err companies in the state. Especially
creditable was the inspection of the
three commands at the First Regiment
ArmOry last night, when the Ogle-
thorpes, Germans and Cadets were sub
jected to the scrutinizing gaze of I'm
Gle Sans representative. The Ogle-
thorpes had thirty-one men; the Ger
mans, forty-three, and the Cadets,
fifty-one.
All of the commands are practicing
sedulously for the regimental prize
drill, which takes place in the Guards
Hall on Friday night. After the in

rooms and engaged in about an hours
practice. II is expected that the high

will be presented in the contest, and for
tulS reason every man Is trying TO take
off the laurels for himself and for his
company.
WaynesbOrO Not Coming.
1t has been announced that the
Waynesboro command, which, it was
thought for some time, would partici-

finishing touches will be put on to-

of the drill and the judges, will meet
at the srmory for practice and instruc-

With a view to opening seven streets

with President r. G. Erwin of the
railroad company.
Mayor Myers, Aldermen Dixon and
Watson, Director of Public Works

City Attorney Garrard called upon
President Erwin in the Office of the
general superintendent on Liberty

were pleasantly received and Mr..
Erwin took the matters that were
presented to his attention under ad-
visement-
The city is anxious to have opened

ton streets, and Mr.. Erwin was talked
10 on this line. The city officers ex-
pressed themselves as being very we'll
satisfied with the way President
Erwin talked to them and it is ex
pected that within the next few days
he will announce just what the rail-
road will be willing to do.
1t is urged by the city that the
opening OF all of the streets named is
absolutely necessary and it is not be-
iieved that the Atlantic Coast Line
will throw any stones in the way of
the proposed Improvements. BY his
manner Mr.. Erwin left the impression
that there will be no difficulty and
that his company will help the city
in its work of street opening, to the
extent of permitting it to cross the
companys right-of-way.
President Erwin did not commit him
self. however, and he viii communicate
with City Attorney Garrard within a
few days. The opening of Waldburg
street will necessitate the moving of
the company's coal chute. The open
ing of this street has been under con-
sideration for a long while and fire.
quent appeals 10 the city have been
made by taxpayers. 1t is thought.
however, that President Erwin viii
agree to have the coal chute moved.
The only cost that will be attached
10 the opening of the seven streets
named will be for the work of grad
ing. The railroad company will not
be paid anything by the city for the
right to cross its tracks. The opening
of the streets will mean much for the
South Side and will add to the beauty
of the city 1t will increase the valua-
ton of property too. and in this man.
ner the city will be again benefited.
Although nothing definite has been
done. all of the streets are almost GER
tain to be opened in the near future.

Stny-Over Delegates.
The delegates and visitors to the
Southern Baptist Convention had a
very generous limit on their railroad
tickets, and while many were obliged
to return to their homes Immediately
after the adjournment of the conven-
ton, others will have ample time to
enjoy few days in Savannah and to
visit several points in this vicinity.
Yesterday there We're crowds at. Ty

Many were seen walking or riding
about the city and several hundred
took advantage of the trip offered to
Beaufort and enjoyed a steamer ride
and the visit to the quaint and inter-
esting little South Carolina city on
Beaufort river.
The special side trips arranged by
the railroads to Jacksonville, Charles
ton and Columbia began yesterday,
and many delegates awaited themselves
of the opportunities offered. These
trips are arranged SO that excursion
lists may spend several days in either
of the three cities mentioned The re-

Union Station.
All delegates in the city now speak
in the most enthusiastic manner of
the great convention which has just
been held and the delightful time they
are now having. The rain and storm
during the early part of the convention
prevented sightseeing, but brought Wis
itorS and their hosts into better aC-
quaintance, and now that the work of
the convention is over and the storms
passed, the time is being enjoyed the
more.
1t is likely that a great number of
the visitors will have departed from
Savannah by tonight. The hotels and
restaurants already show a marked
change and will soon assume normal
conditions.
The Clifton, with several hundred
conVentionists and their friends,
reached Beaufort at o'clock. They
were met at the wharf by a committee
of ladies and gentlemen and given a
most cordial welcome to the town.
They were taken to all points of inter
est. A large number gathered at the
| Baptist Church and held a short serv-
ice. Especial interest conferred in the
old church, as it was the first pastor
ate of the famous Richard B. Fulter.
A delightful reception and luncheon
was rendered the conventionists at the
home of Mrs. Harriet W aterhouSe. AS
the steamer left for Savannah, three
hearty cheers were given for Beaufort
| and the hundreds on board Joined in
singing the sweet and appropriate
hymn, God Be With You Till We
Meet Again"

TURPENTINE ACTIVE AGAIN.
Standard Oil Company RumOred
Among the Active Bidders.

Standard Oil Company RumOred
Among the Active Bidders.
The rise in the turpentine market
has attracted attention during the last
few days. Yesterday the official clos
ing was firm at 47c, a cent above Mon
days price, and after the closing un-
der the influence of active bidding the
market rose to 47Ac, which was freely
paid.
Rumor had it that the Standard Oil
Company was among the lively bid
ders for the local offerings, which are
wanted by it to apply upon contracts.
Tt was said that representatives of the
Standard called frequently on factors
during the day, raising bids, inquiring
about the disposition of the offerings
and looking out for its own interests
with more than ordinary watchfulness.
Squeezing the Standard may look
strange to some, but many along the
street took that view of its eagerness
for supplies during the day. All ex-
porters were reported in the market
and the day closed with an unusually
active scrambling for turpentine.
