MERCHANTS WILL NOT BE
ASKED TO PAY PLEDGES
Fair Management Will Probably Be Able TO Meet
All Expenses Without Drawing on the $4,000.

and this is the largest item OF expense.
Il believe that there are still some
bills for advertising that are out
against us, but these are comparative
ly small. To offset this, there is still
some money due from railroad tickets,
and 1 believe that we are coming out
even. If we ask any, it will be only
small amount"
General Manager Saussy is conf
dent that the $1,000 will not be
drawn on. This is one of the best
testimonials to the success of the fair.
In arranging the fair the expenses
and receipts were figured out closely.
The receipts were not quite as large
as expected though they were
good. To offset this there were many
cash premiums offered for which no
entries were made, and this amount is
saved to the association. The chances
are that the fair has covered it's own
expenses, and the management and
directors are exceedingly gratified.

The complaints against the warm

SaVannahiaus in zen years. The
Weather Bureau records for the past
ten years prove to she contrary. how

This year there is 50 far an excess

the lowest 40. on the first. Last year,

only other years in which there was
an excess We're 1899. 1898, 1897 and 1895.
Of these years the greatest excess for
the first half of the month was in 1897
when As degrees too much are record

and in 1900 and 1901 The greatest
falling off was in 1894 when there was

during the first half of Novemb Der than
there has been this year. This year
the highest November temperature was
81 degrees, on the 18th. In 1895 the
highest was 50 degrees, and in the

BAD YOUNGSTER TO SAIL
AS A CABIN BOY.
Roscoe Jester VIII BE Put on n Ship
by the Police.


Anxious to get as far away as pos
sible from his father, Roscoe Jester,
the 15-year-old Atlanta boy arrested
here last week. and now a prisoner at
the police station house, will be shipped
to sea.
The youngster, who has been given
such a hard name by his parents, and
who left Atlanta with $40 and a revolt
Yer that he took from his fathers pock-
ct, wants to try the life of a sailor, or
anything else that will carry him as
far from Atlanta as possible. He de-
Clares that he was never given a chance
to make good. although he makes no
denial of the charge that he robbed his
father.
With tears in his eyes the boy asked
the superintendent of police to put him
on some vessel that will cross the
ocean, and was overpowered with joy
when told that his request would be
granted. This was made possible by
the receipt of a letter from Mr.. Jester
asking that this very thing be done.
The police superintendent Will make
an effort to get the youngster on some
vessel as a cabin boy, and will please
not only his Juvenile prisoner. but the
father as we'll.

COL. LESTER IS ACTIVE
FOR DEEPER CHANNEL
Invaluable ns Member of Rivers
and HarbOrs Committee.

and HarbOrs Committee.
Letters acknowledging the deep wa
ter memorial sent to Congress from Sa-
vannah, have been received by Mayor
Myers from Senator A. o. Bacon and
Congressman Rufus E. Lester.
Senator Bacon promises to do all In
his power for Savannah. Col. Lester
asked that several copies Of the me-
mortal be sent him. and stated that If
he is again on the Rivers and Harbors
Committee, and he is certain to be re-
named after he has been reelected to
Congress, he will be able to do a great
deal.
Savannah's success in her effort to
secure a thirty-foot channel at mean
low water will depend largely at this
time upon the position that Congress-
man Lester will occupy during the life
of the next Congress. A very large
part of the fight is won with Col. Les
ter on the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee. and he will retain his place as
long as he is in Congress. But it is
one that is sought after on all sides,
and in the event that Col. Lester
should not return to Congress the place
would go to some Democrat who has
been in the House a long while, and
Savannah would be the loser.
The question of deeper channel IS
one that not alone interests Savannah
ians. Mayor Myers says that it is OF
vital Importance not only to the First
congressional district, but the entire
state. In sending Col. Lester addi-
tional copies of the memorial, Mr..
Myers wrote: My belief is that the
people will realize your value there,
and that you will be returned and have
the honor of securing the greatest APP
preparation in the history of the port.
You already have couple of such
monuments, but the next appropriation
will be the greatest of them all.

SEVENTY-FVE CENTS
CAUSE OF CUTTING.

Telephone Men Have 1t Out Near
the Court House.
Following a dispute over rs cents L.
Eschotield was badly cut in the back,
just under the right shoulder, and in
the head last night by a man named
Henderson, in front of No. 109 Presi-
dent street, east, Eschoield's boarding
house.
Both men are employed by the Geor-
gia Telephone Company as instrument
repairers. During the week Eschofeld
borrowed $275 from Henderson, who
last night called at the President street
address to get the money. He was at
the house twice before he met Escho-
field on the street. Eschofield paid 50
of the money and stated that he did
not have any small change, but that
he would give Henderson the remaining
IS cents in the morning, when he would
get $40 changed.
Henderson insisted upon collecting
the entire amount at once, and angry
words were passed. 1t was reported to
the police that Henderson cursed
Eschofeld, who then struck him. A
fight followed, during which the knife
was used. Henderson tried to follow
Eschofield into the house after the cut
ting and wanted to continue the fight.
The wounded man did not realize his
condition and was willing enough to
continue the fight, but was prevented.
Henderson denied at that time that he
had done any cutting, or even had
knife.
AS soon as the ARRAY was reported at
police headquarters several officers
were sent to the house, but Henderson
had left the neighborhood. The police
made a thorough search for him in the
immediate vicinity. but without sue
cess. DR.. w. B. Orear and DR.. Craig
Barrow were called in and dressed
Eschofield's wounds. The cut just be-
hind the shoulder severed the muscles
and was a deep one. The exact nature
of this wound cannot be determined for
a day or two, although the young mans

Sought Revenge because He Was
Ordered to Leave SIN and Shot
His Employer.
W. b. DeLoach, q prominent tur-
pentine operator of Daisy, was shot
and dangerously wounded by BobeE;
Forshay, a negro, who was afterwards
killed by Mr. DeLoaCh. six miles from
Daisy, yesterday morning. Mr.. De
Leach was brought to savannah at
night and taken 10 the Park View san
itarium.
The shooting occurred shortly after
O'Clock. at the DeLosch st;u. The
negro was in Mr.. DeLoach 5 employ and
and his work having been unsausfao-
tory, Mr. DeLoach asked him when
he reported late for duty II he were
going to work this week or II he We're
going to continue his Indifference. The
negro's reply was not satisfactory, and
Mr.. DeLOach discharged him, and or
dered him TO leave the place.
His Answer IA Bullet.
Walking a short distance from where
MIR. DeLoach was standing. Forshay's
answer was a bullet, which took eff
feet in the lower part of Mr. DeLoach's
abdomen. As Mr. DeLoach fell the
negro turned to run. but was stopped
by a bullet from Mr.. DeLoachs pistol.
which entered his back slightly below
the left shoulder, and, ranging, came
out almost through the right shoulder.
Another bullet entered the negro >
back, though the first was fatal
Mr.. DeLoach's wounds bled profuse-
ly before DR.. G. W. Ellerbee arrived
on the scene to attend him, and his
suffering was intense. He was carried
TO his home at Daisy, and from there
was brought to Savannah. DR.. Eller-
bee and DR.. B. E. Miller. also of
Daisy, accompanied him. The doctors
and their patient arrived on the Sea-
board Air Line at $3.50 o'clock.
Not Likely to De Fatal.
At the hospital Mr.. DeLoach's
wounds were re-eXamined and dressed.
The bullet from the negros revolver
entered the lower part of the abdo-
men, ranging downward and outward.
The wound while very painful, is not
likely to prove fatal. Mr.. DeLoach' s
condition, after the trip, was much bet
ter than had been expected it would be.
Drs. Ellerbee and Miller will remain
in the city to-day and will probably
assist in removing the bullet from the
wounded man. Mr.. DeLoach is well
known in Savannah, having large
circle of friends here.
