LONGS LONGING
FOR MAMMA DEAR.
A Young Chinee Who would Fain
Cross Broad Pacific.

Cross Broad Pacific.
Mayor Myers has troubles of his
own sometimes, and his busy days
began recently when Nick Long, the
devoted father of little So Long, called
and desired to get the influence of
his excellency in order that So might
HE to far Chow Chow by way of San
Francisco.
Nick is a citizen of this fair city
and has done his humble share in
keeping the inhabitants clean, by con-
Quoting a shirt cleaning foundry on
the corner of Harris and Jefferson
streets. and he told Mr.. Myers that
little So was only twenty years of
age and had first seen the light of
the sun as it shone through the beau
tiful Golden Gate at San Francisco.
He happens at this time to be visiting
relatives and friends in Jacksonville,
I'LL, but expects to return to dear Sa-
vannah within a short time. And
then his desire is to go across the big
water and make a short call at the
house of his dear mamma-who is not
so young as she was some years ago,
and pines for a sight of So.
AS everyone knows there will be no
trouble about Sos trip to Chow Chow,
but having reached the pickle town
he might remain one of the fifty
seven varieties unless he was thor
oughly identified and billed for return.
Hence the pleadings with authorities.
Permission was granted, and little So
can take his trip and return once
more to the land of the Stars and
Stripes and boiled shirts, without be-
ing held up at the Custom House.

ESCORT VETERANS

At the monthly meeting of the F. S.
Barlow Camp of Sons of Confederate
Veterans last night plans were dis
cussed for increasing the membership
of the camp with a view to escorting
the Confederate Veterans to Louisville
on the occasion of their next reunion.
A committee was appointed to con-
fer with the Confederate Veterans AS
sociations and ascertain from them
the names of the sons of the members
who are not now members of Barlow
Camp. The question of securing gray
coats and black hats, as a distinctive
dress for the members of the camp
was also discussed at length, though
no definite conclusion was reached
At it's last meeting the camp de-
cided to issue certificates of member
ship to its members. A prize was
offered for the best plan. This was
awarded to Mr.. H. d. Dreese, Jr., at
last nights meeting, the award being

BENEDICTlNE CADETS
DRILLED FOR MEDAL.
Cadet d. w. DUPONT Won the Prize
i'm Spirited Contest.

Cadet d. w. DUPONT Won the Prize
in Spirited Contest.
In a spirited contest which lasted
over an hour, Cadet Dupont last night
won the gold medal presented for the
best drilled boy in the Benedictine
College. The drill was held in the hall
of the Benedictine College, and was
witnessed by large number of friends
of the institution and of the boys.
1t was very pretty and interesting
occasion, and the excellence of the
drill and the soldierly bearing of the
boys reflected the greatest credit upon
their instructor and commandant, Col.
Jordan F. Brooks. The medal was
presented by Col. G. A. Gordon, of the
First Regiment, Georgia State Troops,
who took occasion to complement the
young soldiers and to speak in the most
laudatory terms of Col. Brooks and
his splendid work.
The boys of the college were formed
in line at 8 o'clock, and with Col
Brooks giving the commands, went
through the manual of arms for about
twenty minutes. All of the boys were
dropped except one. The remaining lads
were given another trial, and again re-
duced to a single cadet, and yet again
the trial was made.
The three young men brought togeth-
er by this means were then brought
forward and subjected to a hard ten
minutes. They were Cadet D. W. Du-
Pont, Cadet j. Spears Futch and Cadet
Leon A. Speigel. Cadet Dupont stood
alone at the end of the trial, and re-
ceived the handsome gold medal that
had been donated by Lieut. John Bell.
The judges were Maj. w. E. Coney
and Lieut.. M. ]. O'Leary. Some very
pretty figures in marching were given
when the drill was concluded.

LONE PRISONER ARRAIGNED.

At yesterdays session of Police Court
only one prisoner faced Recorder My
rick. and it was one of the briefest
sessions of Police Court ever held.
In a minute it was shown to the Re-
corder by Patrolman Guilfoyle that
Louis Robinson, a Beaufort negro, had
been found asleep, at night in a yard
on Gordon and Bull streets. Louis was
frank enough to admit that he had no
other place to rest his weary head, and
was promptly remanded for trial in
the City Court as a Vagrant.

AT HEELS OF LADIES
Mad SPANIEL SNAPPED AND
SNARLED IN VAIN.
BLOW FROM IRON BAR
BROUGHT SAVAGE DOG DOWN IN
NICK OF TINE.

FOaming at the Mouth the Mad Ca
nine Rushed Into Steinman's Sa-
loon at No. - West Broad street
and Put Patrons of Place TO Flight.
In wild Scramble for Places of
safety. Chairs. Tables and BOTTLES
Were Overturned-DOE Ran Up
steps of Adjoining House at Two
Young Women.
Foaming at the mouth and having
all the symptoms of hydrophobia a
large water spaniel was killed on West
Broad street yesterday afternoon
when it was at the very heels of two
almost hysterical young women.
Swapping and snarling within a foot
of the young women the dog would
have sunk its teeth into their flesh, but
for the prompt arrival of J. Steinman,
proprietor Of a saloon at No. A West
Broad street Armed with a heavy
iron bar Mr.. Steinman struck the mad
canine a vicious blow that staggered
it, and rendered it at least temper
arily helpless.
A moment later and the mad dog
would have bitten the young women,
who are from New York, visiting a
family living next to Mr. Steinmans
place. The dog had already been in
the bar and put everybody in sight to
flight. Chairs were overturned, tables
Were toppled over and bottles were
knocked to the floor when the spaniel
rushed into the saloon from West
a wild IRISH
for places of safety.
Unsuccessful in its efforts to nip
those in sight the dog bit the railing
at the base Of the counter, and snap
ped at the legs of the tables and
chairs in the saloon. AS suddenly as
the spaniel entered it ran out and up
the flight of stairs adjoining the sa-
loon. 1t was here that the ladies en-
countered the dog and retreated, at the
same time screaming at the top OF
their voices.
Those in the saloon had supposed
that the dog had gone out into the
street and Mr.. Steinman had siezed
heavy iron bar so as TO be prepared In
the event that the dog returned. When
the feminine voices rang out from
the stairway he knew that the dog was
going up the steps in the adjoining
house Without hesitancy he ran to
the rescue OF the thoroughly lIlShteh-
ed young women and a few seconds la
ter the mad dog was staggering blind
ly in the opposite direction.
At the same time the attention OF
Patrolman Martin Scully, on duty on
the West Side, was attracted by the
screams and he hurried across the
street The blow from the iron har
had been effective, but the uniformed
man finished up the work with his
4 .. dor N.N r1ar
came from was not ascertained. The
West Side was badly stirred up by the
spaniel. but so far as the police were
able to discover no one was bitten by
the dog before it put in an appearance
at Steinmans place.

EXAMINATION FOR TEACHERS.
Successor to w. E. Thompson to BE
Elected July 4.

Many applications are being received
from those who expect TO stand the ex-
animation for teachers which will be
held Saturday. The present outlook
is that applicants will be unusually
numerous and that very many of them
will come from out of the city.
AS has been announced before there
will be a number of vacancies in the
schools when they reopen in October
brought about through marriages, res
ignations, and other causes, and this
examination is absolutely necessary
to secure a list of eligibles from which
these vacancies may be filled.
Much interest is conferred, too, in the
selection of a teacher to succeed Mr..
w. r. Thompson, as assistant in the
High School. This place probably will
be filled about July l when the Board
of Education will meet and elect all of
the teachers. There are several appn-
cants for this place.

TENNESSEE JOURNALISTS
MAY CONVENE HERE.
Savannah Spoken of As Place for
Next Annual Convention.

Next Annual Convention.
The Tennessee Press Association may
hold its next annual meeting in Savan-
nah. So pleased are its members with
their trip to the Forest City that with
one accord they declare that the Exec
utive Committee, which has in charge
the selection of the next rendezvous,
should determine on Savannah.
This Executive Committee has not
yet been selected, and for this reason
uncertainty is lent to the situation But
whatever may be the decision of the
committee. the members of the associ-
alton, their wives and daughters, ex-
press themselves as delighted with Sa-
Vannah and the tributary resorts, de-
claring their sOjourn here the pleasant
est part of their trip.
The party will leave to-day at noon,
over the Southern Railroad, for Ashe-
vile, making a detour for pleasures
sake, en- route homeward. Last night
they went to Tybee, where the entire
party enjoyed a bath in the surf. They
took supper at Hotel Tybee, and after
wards danced on the pavilion. The
music was very good, especially since
one member of the party, DIR. Dolby,
the editor of the Musical Idea, himself
a musician of no mean talent, contrib
uted to the general result by perform
ing on the bass fiddle. All hands were
favorably impressed with Tybee, and
expressed a desire to return.
The morning was spent in visiting
points of interest in the city, the monu-
ments and buildings along Bull street
arresting the attention of the members,
particularly. In Forsyth Park a pic
ture of the party was taken by Mr.. M.
Ed. Wilson, after which visit to
Thunderbolt was made.
The party was in charge of repre-
sentatives of the local press, and the
secretary of the Chamber of Commerce,
Mr.. Donlan. Descriptive and illustrat-
ed literature anent the Forest City was
abundantly furnished by Mr.. Donlan,
many of the party saving it as SOU
venirS of their visit.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
Large Demand for the staple Has
Developed Here.

Developed Here.
The past day or so has witnessed
very large sales of sea island cotton.
The exporters are looking about for
the staple, and reports are that the
demand has been particularly good
for several days Ii was said yester-
day that upwards of 1000 bales have
been sold so far this week.
The stock of sea island cotton has
been large compared to last year, and
in some quarters fears were felt as to
whether it would be required. The
we'll informed had few doubts about
this, however, and believed that later
in the season the demand would re-
vive. The belief now is that the I'M
sold stock will bring good prices. The
crop reports from the sea island belt
point to unfavorable prospects for "a
full yield.
