A Timely SUGGESTION.

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winter is over, and
results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it is kept at
hand and given as soon as the cold is
contracted and before it has become
settled in the system. In almost every
instance a severe cold may be warded
off by taking this remedy freely as soon
as the first indication of the cold APP

ARGUMENT COMMENCED
IN THE M'IVER CASE.

Argument was commenced in the
McIver case in the United States
Court yesterday at IL O'Clock, and oc-
cupied the attention of the court until
the hour for adjournment. Mr.. j.
Randolph Anderson had commenced
his opening argument when court ad-
journed The points at issue have al
ready been extensively mentioned in
the Morning News, and the argument
yesterday was on the line that the Su-
preme Court of Georgia was at error
in deciding that the case must not
necessarily be re-brought in the United
States Court.
During the trial of this case a large
number of the members of the local
bar are attentive listeners, as the ques-
ton is one that has never before come
up in this country.

WHILE HUNTING BIRDS
NEGRO WAS KILLED,
Accidental Discharge of Gun Caused
Parker's Death.

IaFkeFS DeANhs
From a gunshot wound inflicted last
Thursday Eugene Parker, negro, died
at the Georgia Infirmary yesterday
morning. No report of the shooting
was made at police headquarters until
Parkers death yesterday.
All of the evidence secured by the
officers goes to show that the shooting
was an accident and Parker himself
so stated when taken to the infirmary
Elijah Reilly, colored. who had the gun
when the fatal shot was fired, was ar
rested by Detective Frank Wall, and
win be held until a formal investga-
ton can be made.
Parker, Renly and a negro named
Brown were hunting east Of the city
and had stopped to rest. They We're
sitting down when they saw a bird.
Parker was in front, and as Reilly got
up with the gun it exploded. The fun
charge of bird shot entered Parkers
body, and he was taken TO the Geor-
eia Infirmary for treatment. He stated
that the shooting was an accident, ana
for that reason nothing was said TO the
police about the matter.
Because the negro died at a hospital,
and had been attended by physician,
Coroner Keller refused to hold an IN
quest. An effort was made to have
him impanel a jury and formally in
vestigate Parker's death. When the
coroner refused to hold an inquest the
case was entered on the police Dlotter,
and Reilly will be formally arraigned
before Recorder Myrick in Police Court
this morning.

LEGAL SALES WANTED
BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

The Real Estate Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce held a meeting
yesterday for the purpose of consider
ing the various inquiries for land and
property in this section that have come
10 the Chamber of Commerce recently.
These were gone over and a plan
adopted for classifying and answering
them. Probably the most important
matter discussed was that of a move
to have the legal sales take place at
the Chamber of Commerce instead of
at the Court House, as is now the case.
The matter will doubtless receive fur
ther consideration at the next meeting
of the committee as it is believed that
1t will require an act of the Legislature
to effect the change.

COST OF RUNNING
ENGINEERING DISTRICT,

The cost of keeping up repairs in
the Savannah district of the United
States engineers is greater than many
people imagine. The accounts for the
last six months. (since June y, have
been compiled by Chief Clerk Sterley
and Col. Quinn. These show that in
that time more than $500, 900
has been paid out in meeting the
expenses of this district. More than
1000 checks have been signed by Col.
Quinn, all of them in duplicate and
some in triplicate. This makes at
least 5000 times that Col. Quinn has
signed his name, exclusive of the vol
ume of correspondence. The aver
age expenditure per month in this dis
trict is $685. 900.

THE GRAND JURY MATTER.

Editor Morning News: Why was it
that the grand jurymen who were
thrown overheard by the new commits
sioners were mostly those who were OPP
posed to gambling and policy shops,
and who were unflinching in their
duty?
Why was it that the sheriff of the
United States court took one or more
of these gentlemen to serve on the jury,
and said that he was glad to get such
good material?
Will the new commissioners" kindly
publish the names of those to be sub
stituted in the place of those we'll
known and respectable citizens who
have been unlawfully deposed from the
grand jury of Chatham county?

MERGER OF DRUGGISTS.
Plan to Form N Consolidation of
Several Stores Now on Foot.

Plan to Form N Consolidation of
Several stores Now on Foot.
1t is reported that a movement is
on foot in Savannah for merging or
consolidating some twelve or more drug
stores, to be operated as at present,
though to be under one management.
The plan contemplates either buying
the desired properties outright or
forming a company in which the pres
ent proprietors would become stock
holders.
The advantages of such a plan, it is
stated, will be the ability to buy sup
plies in large quantities. and conse-
quently cheaper than at present and
might mean also a saving in clerk hire.
This latter would be accomplished by
having one clerk relieve several stores
in succession during the dinner hour
and during the rush hour of trade. The
plan is in its incipiency yet, but may
be brought to a head shortly.
