The agony is over The international

The American boat is the winner. And

Ability to sail the yachts makes some diff

board the Shamrock could not bring that

doubt much Il he would have greatly sur

The result Of the contests was foreseen

IN the two years that he has been the
executive head Of the country Theodore
Roosevelt has quite fully lived up to the
horoscope Of his career. While there have
been Slips that president is rare who
does not make some mistakes the general
conduct Of his important affairs has been
satisfactory to bis friends and partsans.
So few real and forbidding faults can
be found IN him that his opponents are
strainlng to their utmost 10 find things
that win defeat him at the next election.
However, bigger faults than have set
been shown will have to be produced to
beat him in the coming contest for
reelection The fact that the monied IN.
terests Of Wall street are opposed to him
because they fear what be may de is the
strongest point in bis favor, as win be
shown when the voters register their
choice.

Keen the balance ID.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. Nobody
can be too careful to keep this balance
up. When people begin to lose appe-
tite, or to get tired easily, the least i'm
prudence brings on sickness, weakness
or debility. The system needs a tonic,
Graves it, and should not be denied it;
and the best tonic of which we have
any knowledge is Hoods Sarsaparilra.
What this medicine has done in keep
ing healthy people healthy, in keeping
up the even balance of health, gives it
the same distinction as a preventive
that it enjoys as a cure. Its early use
has illustrated the wisdom of the old
saying that a stitch in time save nine

Mingled with the Crowd and Enjoy
ed the Day to Its Fullest Extent.
Gov. Terrell, after spending an al
together pleasant day in the city, re-
turned to Atlanta last night. While in
Savannah he was a guest at the home
of Col. Meldrim. and was shown about
the city by DR.. w. w. Landrum of
Atlanta.
Just how pleasant a time the Gov
ernor had is best expressed in his own
words, when, wishing to be free from
restraint and enjoy himself to his ut
most he said TO DR.. Jordan after his
mornings speech: Now let me loose,
and let me spend the day in the crowd
like a good Christian"
Gov. Terrell said that he was al

Dallas Police Want white Porch

There is in custody at Dallas, Tex,
a white burglar who has the police Of
that city guessing, and Chief r. l..
Winfrey is trying to get the record of
his man.
The following from the chief of po-
lice of Dallas to the superintendent in
this city explains itself:
For the past six months a profess
sional burglar (porch climber) has been
working all over the state of Texas,
including some of our largest cities,
obtaining money, diamonds and
watches, mostly diamonds and money.
At one residence in this city he secured
one solitaire diamond stud (6A X val
ued at about $1,000 and $50 in currency.
The diamond has a small flaw in the
center.
At another residence a lady's soli-
taire diamond pin (about 21a). At an
other residence two fine watches and
$44 in cash. The watches have been
recovered but the diamonds have not
He entered other residences where he
secured money and diamonds of less
value. The following described articles
which have not been identified were

with small gold knife charm.
In searching his room we found a
loaded 38-calibre Colt revolver. He
gave his name as L. H. Coley, alias

this man identified and also to get his
past record, as he is a dangerous crook.

LOSS OF AN ARM
CAUSED HIS DEATH.
III. A. Attaway's Injuries Terminated
Fatally at Savannah Hospital.

Fatally at Savannah Hospital.
AS a result of the injuries he re-
ceived by being run over by Seaboard
Air Line train No. 70 Thursday night,
H. A. Attaway died at the Savannah
Hospital at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
An account Of the accident in which
Mr.. Attaway had his right arm cut
off was given in the Morning News.
AT that time it was not thought that
he had been fatally injured. He grew
worse during the morning, however,
and death relieved his sufferings. Mr..
Attaway was a native of WaynesbOro,
Burke county, and was known to
every member of the Guards Battalion
who served during the Spanish-Ameri-
can War.
Haupt Attaway was a private in
Company 3, commanded by the late
Capt. Thomas Screven, and was
known to every member of the Second
Georgia Regiment. He was quaint and
witty and was the life of 3 Company.
He was original and had a laugh that
Was contagious. Although only about
as large as a pint cup he had plenty
of nerve and grit This is illustrated
by IN incident that occurred while the
Second Georgia Regiment was in camp
at Palmetto Beach. Attaway and an
other member of the regiment cleaned
out THE Spanish Restaurant with
billiard cues and then wrecked the
place with bricks. A negro soldier was
responsible. indirectly, for the trouble.
The Second Georgia boys had heard
of the strong friendship that existed
between the members of the Thirty
first Michigan Regiment and the First
Georgia Regiment at Chickamauga.
Their relations with the Sixty ninth
New Workers were strained, to express
it mildly, and the Georgia boys deter
mined to be on friendly terms with the
men in the Thirty-second Michigan
Regiment. They would visit each 9TH
er's camp and for several days were
quite friendly.
On the afternoon in question several
of the Michigan men invited Attaway
and another Georgian. to visit The
Spanish Restaurant with them. While
standing at the bar one of the soldiers
from Michigan extended an invitation
to drink with the party, to negro
regular. Immediately the two Georgia
boys began to clean out the restaurant
and with the aid of two billiard cues
they were successful. The Michigan
men and the negro retreated and the
Georgians closed the incident by prac-
tically wrecking the place with bricks.
The remains of Mr. Attaway were
taken to Waynesboro late yesterday
afternoon for burial Members of his
family reached the city during the day
and accompanied the body to Burke
county.

prayer, singing and scripture reading.
The roll of representatives, was called
and delegates present were recorded
by the secretaries.
Election of Officers.
The election for officers was the next
in order, and the president was imme-
diately nominated to succeed himself.
There were no other nominations, and
the election was unanimous. Other Of
f1cers were then nominated and the re-
suits were as follows. all except the
four vice presidents being reflections.
President-Rev. James p. Eagle of
Arkansas.
Vice Presidents-Rev. E. w. Ste
phens, Missouri; Rev. a. E. owen of

Gov. TerreITs Welcome.
When the election was over and the
officers had taken charge, Rev. DR..
Jordan, chairman of the general COM
mittee at Savannah, came forward and
said that he had received a letter from
Mayor Myers requesting him to official
ly welcome the committee and visitors
to this city This he did in a brief but
graceful manner and then asked
the privilege of introducing the Gov
ernor of Georgia to welcome the dele
gates to the state.
Gov. Terrell was enthusiastically re-
ceived. There is a clause in the con-
stitution which forbids outward dem
,onstration, but in this case the applause
was spontaneous and would have as
sumed considerable proportions, but for
the admonitory rap from President
Eagles gavel. The Governor was in
a happy frame of mind and spoke of
the pleasure that it gave him to well
come such a splendid body of men to
the great state of Georgia. He had
been introduced as a brother Baptist"
and said that it was title as dear to
him as anything he possessed. He told
of the magnificence of Georgia, but said
that the noble citizenship was greater
even than the broad acres and wide
fields and growing industries. The peo-
pie, he was sure, regardless of creed
and denomination, We're glad to well
come such an assemblage as that gath
cred in Savannah for the convention,
and all were wishing to extend the
glad hand ard make the visitors feel
that they were among friends and well
wishers-

delegate attendance was larger by
only eleven members. During the day
a number of belated delegates arrived
and it is expected that when they are
enrolled this morning the figures of
last year will be exceeded.
The personnel of the delegates is
high and many on the rolls are prom
irent men of their states. The con-
vention transacted considerable bust
ness during the day and Gov. Eagle,
who was unanimously reelected to
the presidency, showed the wisdom Of
the conventions choice by his fair
and impartial rulings and the expedi-
ton with which he carried the work
forward.
At the morning session officers were
elected and Immediately following this
Gov. Terrell extended a welcome to
the delegates TO Georgia. The roll of
delegates was completed. the order of
business settled and the report of the
Board of Foreign Missions was read.
1t was a busy day, which was con-
cluded with the convention sermon,
preached at night in the First Baptist
Church by Rev. DR.. Williamson, Of
St. Louis.
During the day there were sessions
of the WOmans' Missionary Union
Auxiliary, of the convention and of
the Board of Trustees of the seminary.

The gavel of eX-Gov. James P. Eagle
of Arkansas fell at 10 o'clock. and the
great assemblage at once became seat

that the attendance was large, and that
all Of the delegates were prepared 70;
the business before them. With a very
few words President Eagle announced

well, for they could take the example
home with them. of a people looking
upwards and forwards, and it would
benefit all sections of the beautiful and
growing South.
Some pleasantries were introduced to
show that the hospitality of Savannah
people had been known to put some
distinguished visitors to bed; but he
feared no such trouble in the present
instance. In spite of the bad weather.
the Governor said that he was conf
dent the visitors would have an en-
joyable and interesting convention, and
their visit would not be regretted. on
behalf of the people of Georgia, he
babe all a hearty welcome.
DIR. HaIe's Response.
On behalf Of the convention, Rev.
p. T. Hale, d. D.. of greensboro, Ky,
was called upon to respond to the well
come of the Governor and acquitted
himself very aceptably of the pleasant
task. A large part of DR.. Hale's talk
was in humorous vein with many
palpable hits, upon his own unprotect-
ed head. But in seriousness he spoke
of the pleasure that the visitors had
already enjoyed and had in anticipa-
ton. Many had before partaken of
Georgia hospitality and knew that it
was to be expected when coming here.
Those who had not been so fortunate
were not uniformed, for the fame of
the splendid state had gone abroad.
The speech was enthusiastically re-
ceiVed.
